CAJolep The JURY.
An Interesting Incident of n Mcmora-
bic Lawsuit.

The jury in the Martha Washington
ease, famous trial of 40 years ago,
wherein the captain of the steamboat
Martha Washington and others were
charged with burning the boat TO Sc
cure insurance, was chosen with diff
Guilty, says McClure's Magazine. Dur
ing their five weeks service the mem
bers of it were assailed on every side
by the Jealous feminine sympathizers of
the accused. By every art possible 10
youth, beauty and wit and the reckless
companionship of adventurers were
they approached "If you do not GO into
that jury room and vote not guilty in
an hour you will be dead man." said
the wife of the captain, confronting an
aged Juror ON the staircase. Sprung
from an old and respectable Massa-
chusetts family, she was a singularly
beautiful, brilliant. dashing woman.
She had gone in early girlhood to the
west and became enamored of the pic
turesque river captain, who did not see
fit to marry her and went off to Mexico
and opened mis- gambling house on the
Rio Grande. One day as he sat dealing
faro there his affianced presented her
self. Disguised in a mans attire and
armed with a brace of pistols, she had
made her way without detection to the
Rio Grande. She was a skilled shot and
could hit dollar across room. Level
ing pistol at the recreant lovers head,
she said in short, sharp voice: "Marry
me. or take this in your head!" The
astounded captain replied: "Why,
Ollie, my dear, is that you?" The mar

HUGH GoRMLEY and his warm sup
porters refuse TO be comforted by the
little jolly of the Democratic press
after the ruthless slaughter they re.
ceived at McConnelsville, He and his
friends are justly up in arms over the
high handed manner in which he was
dealt the death blow after working up
a sentiment over the district favorable
to his candidacy. The nominees may
have little more classic learning than
our Glouster friend, yet there was
never a more enthusiastic, true blue
Democrat and none that ever gave
more literally of time and means for
the success of the party. He would
have made an energetic CANVASS, but
the gods had not so decreed and the
Washington statesman is in close com
munion with the gods.-Athens Mes

Shading Marble.

A newly discovered process for treat
ing marble or other similar stones in
order to give them any colored shade,
veins or spots, consists in leaving these
stones in one or more baths composed
of solution of alcohol and one or more
colors OF aniline or other coloring ma
terials. The coloring materials are
fixed by leaving the colored stones in
bath of oil or any other fat sub
stance, or by applying upon the stones
layers of the same stuff. The absorp-
ton of the organic coloring materials
and of the fat substances by the stone
may be accelerated by heating or boil
ing the bath which contains the stuff
TO be treated.

THE POLITICIAN.

President McKinley's determination
to take possession of Hawaii the mo-
ment that Japan, or any other nation,
makes a threatening move against the
islands met with strong endorsement
in both House and Senate. There was
M bluster in it, no Sc e1sationalism bout
it; Just the quiet announcement that
having determined to annex Hawaii the
u. S. Senate committee on Foreign Re-
lations has rably reported the trea-
ty for the annexation of Hawaii, but
whether it will be voted upon at this
session will depend on circumstances
The ta-if bill is still in conference,
and while an agreement may be reach
ed at any time one may not be reached
until next week. Chairman Dingley is
authority for the statementthat all the
sensational publications purporting to
give details of the contest in the COM
mittee over this or that schedule of the
bill have been pure guesswork, and
without any foundation. Many OF these
publications have evidently been made
for speculative purposes

A BLACK CATS VISIT.
Fnte OF Woman who Believed 1t
brought Good Luck.


The black cat superstition certainly
has a strong hold. a strange black cat
came to the residence of a Troy fam
lily during the present year, and it was
occasionally fed by the kind-hearted
woman of the house. The cat kept
coming, says the Troy Press. and in
sisted upon DEMONSTRATING itself. and
the woman laughingly remarked to her
friends that it was sign of good luck.
But she had no children, and did not
want to be troubled with cat. She
told her husband that he must get
rid of it. They disliked to kill the cat,
and finally decided to take it into the
country and drop it.
Late one afternoon they put the
cat in a bag and drove about five miles,
when they united the bag and freed
the cat, after which they returned rap
idly. The woman died inside of half
an hour after reaching home. an ac-
cident Detailing her.
If it be good luck for black cat
to come to ones house, it surely must
signify poor luck to take or drive it
away. The woman was familiar with
the omen, as she had repeatedly re-
ferred to it, but probably never stopped
to consider that such a sign would
imply evil consequences if the harbin-
ger of good was turned away. At all
events, she took Che black eat away,
and was killed almost Immediately
thereafter. While we take no stock
whatever in this popular superstition,
we know the facts to be as stated.

ROMANCE OF HORSE HEAYEg.
Rivals in Love Fight a Duel 6fter the
Object of Their Affections
Commits Suicide.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. I0.-A dispatch
from North Yakima, Wash, this alter
noon says: Coroner Taggard returned
from the Horse Heaven country vester-
day, where he held an inquest on the body
of CIarinda ScritchieId, handsome girI
of IS years, wao committed suicide on
Gues lay. ..because the course of true love
failed TO run smoothly.
She was cooking for threshing crew on
the farm of Hans Smith, where she was
being cOurted by two men employed there.
She had a preference for one, but was not
disposed to relinquish the attentions of
the other. This resulted in q quarrel be-
tween the lovers, ana when the estrange-
ment took place she borrowed a revolver
from one of the crew, making a plea
that she needed it for protection, and,
going to her tent, placed the muzzle 10
ner head and sent g bullet through her
brain. Death was instantaneous.
A later telegram says that after the
girls death the two lovers repaired to a
point niie distant from the tragic scene
purposing to spill their own blood over
the girl, VINO certainly must have been de-
mented. TheV were prevented from so
doing by some other men, who followed
them, but not until two shots had been
exchanged without injury.
