life Of the time and the place. When
the civil war brok out he went to Tex
as and bought horses and mules for
the confcderacy. He had a numbered
fights with Apache Indians, in m of
which he was wounded and came near
being made a captive. After the war
he returned to Southern California.
In 1878, at Spadra, he had an argu-
ment with tue Rev. Benjamin Stand
erfer, who was a leading pastor in the
Christian denomination in southern
California, The argument, which be-
gan in a difference Of opinion about
certain tcncnts Of the Christian church,
grew hotter and hotter, branchcd out
into personalities, and at last Stand
erfer drew his fist and attempted to
strike Lilly. The latter had his gun
out in a flash, and, as the preachers
knuckles touched his face, sent two
bullets through Standerfer's chest,
killing him instantly. The trial which
followed was one of the sensations Of
the Pacific coast. Lilly was found
guilty in the first trial, but was ac-
quilted after a second. This murder
trial, like the previous one, lost him
his entire fortune, and he did not re-
coup himselffurtherth than to get enough
for a comfortable living. His defense,
of course, in both cases was that he
had acted in self-defence. But the
last killing seemed to sober down his
high temper, and he always kept the
pistol with which he didita as a remind
er that he mus curb his spirit. 1t
was with the same weapon that he put
an end to his own life, nearly a quarter
of a century later. He hintel no in.

The greatest kite flyer we have ever
had in America, possibly the greatest
kite flyer the world has ever known, Is
Mr.. William A. Eddy, a merchant OF
New York, and resident Of Bayonne,
In New Jersey. Leslie's Weekly says
Mr.. Eddy began making kites for the
amusement Of his children, and so be-
came interested in their construction
and in flying them. The fad was pur-
sued so successfully that he has invent
ed new kinds of kites, and has raised
them to attitudes never attained before.
Recently he has been experimenting
with kite-borne cameras, and has taken
snap shots at the things below. 1t Is
likely that such photographs in time Of
war might reveal the position Of an
enemy and the condition Of his de-
lenses. The pictures so far taken are
certainly curious and interesting. The
small boy will be astonished to learn
that Mr.. Eddy scorns tail to any Of
his kites, and has long ago discarded
them as obsolete. Some of his kites
are so large and powerful that he need
a windlass to control them.

pie the evil Of doing wrong. AS they
never seemed to do aught but wrong In
the worthy mans opinion, 1t some
times became irksome to these people
to hear him constantly admonishing
them to do right. One of the bishops
habits was to visit the miners a short
distance from his city, and his presence
grew familiar to these toilers. During
one of his calls he found a group OF
them talking together, and after few
preliminary words on his customary
subject of doing right, he asked them
what they were talking Of.
"You see," said one Of the men, I'VE
found a kettle, and us has been er-try-
ing who can tell the biggest loi to own
the kettle.
The bishop was duly surprised, and
read the men a lecture In which he
spoke of how strongly the offense Of
lying had been impressed upon him
when he was young, and how he had
never told lie in the whole course OF
his life. He had hardly finished when

The legal proceedings which have
just been instituted against the Prince
of Wales in the Westminster County
Court, of London, by Alexander Chat
fers, are brought against him merely
in his capacity Of president Of the
board of trustees of the British Muse
um. The plaintiff Is said to be thor
oughly disreputable lawyer. Owing to
his antecedents, the management Of
the British Museum will not permit
him to make any use of the reading
rooms, and that is why he brings the
action. One of the most notable cpl
sodes in the career of Mr.. Charters
was when, after matchmaking the wife
of Sir Horace Twiss, in connection
with certain incidents of her life prior
to marriage, he brought the matter
into court. Although Lady Twiss was
defeated, the presiding judge branded
the victor in the suit as an Infamous
scoundrel," worthy of the ''abhorrence
of every respectable man." The trial
was followed by sensational an
nouncement in the London Official Ga
zette, to the effect that Lady Twiss,
who for fifteen years had been occupy
ing a conspicuous position at court and
in society, had had her name removed
by order of the Queen from among
those who enjoyed the right of admis-
sion to the court of st. James.

Some curious stories can be told
about the thousands of false diamonds
sold yearly in London. AS a working

the trade in imitation stones. People
of all ranks buy them. A nobleman Is
in immediate want of cash and must
find it somewhere. He will perhaps
turn to his family diamonds. Possibly
10000 could be raised on them. He
takes the jewelry off to the false dia-
mond provider, has the real stones re-
moved and the false ones put In, and
deposits the actual gems with some one
as a security for loan. No one Is n
bit the wiser. His wife appears in her
jewels just the same as usual. II she
didn't her husband would be made
