CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Chies of Police H. N. Dyer, Officer
Eanes and w. +. Bryant have returned
from WEIGH w. Va, where they were
summoned as witnesses to identify wm.
Redd of Henry county. who was on trial
for the murder of a man in 1894. 1t
seems that Redd committed the murder
and made his escape. He was soon cap.
tured in this city by Officer Eanes and
locked up, but refused to go back to
West Virginia without the necessary re-
QUESTION papers. He was held here for
thirty days and the West Virginia au-
thorities being so slow to act the. negro
suspect was turned loose. 4 short time
ago he was Iearrested in Pittsburg and
taken to Welch. The object of the wit
nesses from here was to prove his iden-
tity, and although Redd had grown three
years older and he possessed a full heard
and was at least thirty pounds heavier,
the witnesses had no difficulty in declar-
ing that he was the proper man. There is
said to be no doubt but that he will get
murder decision rendered either in the
second or first degree.

There is q new order of things among
the gilded youth of today, and the valet
is in demand. This demand has led to
the establishment i'll Boston Of fin
ishing academy for gentlemen's serv-
ants Here the gentleman gentleman
learns all that is necessary for him to
know. The first thing that is done to a
matriculate is to cut his hair in the ap-
proved English fashion and make him
clean shaven, or at least reduce his hir-
suite appendages to a modest mutton
chop" just forward of his ears He is
then put in livery and made to speak
only in an h-less English dialect The
various courses of instruction include
training in all the branches of menial
work, and when pupil is sent out into
the world he is given a certificate of
proficiency in his particular course. One
of the features of the course is the daily
practice in immobility, which consists
in standing for half an hour day be-
tween two upright bars so regulated
that they touch the mans toes and
breast bone in front and his coattails,
shoulder blades and hat rim at the back
This gives the requisite wooden rigidity
and is practiced by all pupils. Those
whose physiques are. lacking or too lux
uriant are reduced to the proper form by
vigorous exercise. Boston Letter.

The editor Of the New York Chris
tian Advocate learned not long since
from coachman that horses are not
unlike human beings. He writes:
Riding in friend S carriage one day,
we noticed that the coachman made con-
stant efforts to restrain one Of the
horses and to hasten the other. AS the
pair were handsome and perfectly
mated, we said, "What is the difference
between these horses, that You are con-
stantly touching up one and holding in
the other?"
Said he: 1.-THE one that 1 whip can.
not possibly overwork himself. will
not say that he is lazy, but he is sc
made that he never can and never will
do himself any damage. 1t would bc
impossible to whip him SO hard that h,
would hurt himself. The other can trot
mile in less than 2:25, and he would
trot from the love of it until he drop
ped dead. Hot OF cold, he does his best.
