 His remains were found floating in the stream in a canebrake. A boat was near, ard it is supposed that he had been making journey down the Tensas. No cause for the murder is known, but it was evidently for his money, if he had

GOSSIP OF THE STREET
 AND HOTEL LOBBIES

l a spring in dry weather is seen to give forth more than the ordinary supply of water it is a sure sign of rain," was the remark of Major w. J. Milner.
 q never put any credence in the asser- tion until friend of mine said that he had watched to satisfy himself and found that 1t was so. Of course I have heard many old negroes after returning from the spring say that it was 'sho goin' to rain, kase de spring wuz a bubbln' out at mighty rate.'
 Since I became half way convinced that there was something in the sign, have been trying to figure out some cause for 1t. The most plausible one I have yet thought of is that the high at mosphere has the same effect on water below the surface as that above.
 "The atmosphere, as you know, affects top water and I see no reason why the underground water could not be drawn to the surface by it."
 Speaking of signs, superstitions and other peculiar characteristics of humani- ty, reminds me of a common idea in regard to new residences" said z. R. Peterman, of New York.
 q know of a splendid residence in New York that must have cost the owner hundreds of thousands of dollars and it has never been occupied. It was con- structed a few years ago and soon after it was completed a crank told the owner, who is very wealthy man, that if he moved into his new home some member of his family would die within month. He was foolish enough to be- lieve it and has never moved, and he gets insulted if friend asks him why he allows the handsome house to stand idle.
 This is no worse than the idea of large number of people who cannot be induced to begin a task on Friday, or will go into fright if they find they are connected with anything having the number thirteen. An occurrence in New 1Ork some time ago mas put the be- lievers in unlucky days and numbers to gossiping.
 "On the 18th day of certain month a gentleman who was we'll known and whose name chanced to contain thir- teen letters, sold residence he had built a few years before. It also chanced that the 18th day of that month fell on Friday and twenty-sixth day. twice thirteen you know After he had made the sale the man died and on the thirteenth day of the following month the house was destroyed by fire"
 
 young ladies to go to Washington to attend school" said Senator H. D. Money, of Mississippi, who was at the Morris last night
 Tt seems to be popular idea among southern girls especially. It is not that there are no good educational institu- lions in other cities, but there is charm about Washington.
 , Girls read a great deal about Wash ington and it Is true that they can learn many other things besides books in the national capital.
