Inveu.s Deaths For a Living.

Perhaps there is no more extraordinary
occupation in the world than that of a
certain weary looking little man whom
interviewed at his office in Fleet street
couple of weeks ago. He is an inventd
of deaths. His customers are chiefly nov
elists and playwrights, and that his bust
ness must be "A somewhat thriving one IL

sumptuousness of his surroundings.

"But the work is not exactly SO simple
as you might imagine.

fectly novel death by which a hero or viii
lain is to end his earthly career, but I
have to supply the most accurate informa-

COMPLETE CONFESSION


Bridgeport. Conn. Dec. 9.--In the trial
dering Farmer George Marcus Nichols Of
Daniels Farms, David Weeks, Bonai's al
legged accomplice. made a complete con-
fession to the robbery and murder. to the
robbery Of John Nichols of Daniels and
TO many other crimes in Connecticut and
Pennsylvania
Following IL In substance the story
told by Weeks:
I'VE had planned for some time preyi.
GUS to July - to rob Mr.. Nichols.
Bonai had learned, 30 he said. that Mr..
Nichols Possessed considerable wealth.
After we had perfected our plans. we
went from our house in Huntington 70
Daniels Farms ON Monday night, July ~.
intending to rob Nichols su that time.
We found, however. that we were OBJ
served and concluded to abandon the at
tempt for that night and returned to
Huntington. Two nights after that on
Wednesday, July 81. we again went TO
Daniels Farms and investigated.
The coast was clear and we decided to
commit the crime. Accordingly, We
went into the barn of Mr. Nichols
There we stayed until after midnight and
at 1880 We left the barn prepared TO en-
ter and rob the house. 1t was raining
heavily and everything was favorable.
We hrst tried the pantry window. Bonai
cut out window pane, opened the sash
and crawled In. A little later he let me
In through the door. We had not been in
side long before we heard noise upstairs
and we at once went outside Watching
closely we saw Sir. Nichols and Miss
Nichols come downstairs. Mr.. Nichols
lighted lantern and came out doors. and
after looking about q short time, re-
tui ned to the house. We then went to a
side door and burst 1t in to find Mr..
Nichols and Miss Nichols in the middle
OF the room. Bonai cried out as we
rushed In. "aold up tyour hands. Mr..
Nichols responded by striking Donai
over the head with his lantern and Bonai
Immediately fired two shots Mr.. Nichols
fell to the floor and Miss Nichols
swooDed but recovering, ran upstairs
with Bonai closely pursuing. A little
later heard two more shots anu fina lily
Bonai came down stairs with Miss
Nichols. We demanded of the woman
money and got some. Bonai in response
to pleadings from Mir. Nichols secured
from closet some brandy. We then oc-
cupied some time In searching the house,
and after getting something to eat we
left the house and walked back to Hunt
inRton. where we were let in to our
house by Mrs. Bonai. On our way back
Bonai said:
E" I'm sorry we did this job. This is
the first one ever killed.
I'VE threw our masks into n creek and
reached Huntington about 4 o. lock.
All day we remained in the house.
That evening we went to Shelton ana from
there to New Haven. Later / went TO
New York and thence to Brooklyn. where
/ was joined by Bonai on Monday at the
residence Of my cousin. Then We went
up the Hudson River and on the way up
by boat, Bonai threw into the river Mr.
Nichols watch We wandered about un-
til we were captured.

Tea Drinking.

Tea Is an agreeable stimulant, quicken.
ing intellectual operations, removing
headache and fatigue and promoting cheer
fulDcss and sense of well being. A esp
OF tea now and again is most refreshing
and excellent thing, but when 1t is used
to excess the digestive and nervous sys.
TENS arc especially affected. There is no
doubt that there are cases Of dyspepsia
caused by the inordinate use of strong tea,
and IL is also matter of common observa
tion that sleeplessness, palpitation of the
heart and nervous irritability often follow
the prolonged and excessive use OF this
beverage. People who drink tea to excess
are to be found in all classes of society,
and the fact should be impressed upon
such persons that tea is not food, and
cannot, therefore, without risk to health,
be substituted for articles of diet which
form both flesh and bone.-New York
Ledger.

PAS FAREWELL APPEARANCE.

There was n circus at Chanute a few
days ago and an old farmer concluded hs
would take his wife to it. He had
about $40 in change in his pocket, ana as
a matter Of precaution he took along q
revolver, knowing that he would not get
home until late at night. After the cir
Gus was over tho old farmer spisd
shell game, " and tried to beat it, In
about ten minutes he had lost $50. His
wife was present at the performance.
She concluded that the old man had got
up against regular swindling game"
as she termed Ii, and decided to help him
out. She took the revolver out OF his
pocket and poked it under TIE nose of
the operator of the shell game and coolly
told him to give back the old mans
money. The gambler handed 1t over
and, turning to the farmer, she said:
Now. pa, we'll 60 home, and you
can't never 90 to another circus as long
