4 Fatal j oke.

Mr.. Robert Dixon, who was shot
in Charleston, S. c., by Mr. William
Addison on Tuesday night died Thurs
day morning. At tue inquest. which
as id Thursday, young Addison was
exonerated from all blame. The
tragedy was one of the saddest and
most deplorable that has taken place
in long time. It was the result of
senseless joke which Mr. Dixson aud
friend attempted to play upon the
Misses Alphonso, on Ashley avenue,
with whom they were well acq1aint.
ed. Dixon and his friend called at
the Misses Alphonso's residence, but
not finding them in they decided to
wait in the yard near the piazza and
s1artle the young ladies as they enter.
ed. The story Of the tragedy is best
given in the words of Mr. Addison,
who, wita Mr.. Conner, was ous
with the Misses Alphonso when Dixon
and his friend called at the house. Mr..
Addison said in substance Thursday
waen seen by a representative of Toe
Stats: On cur way home with the

Sad FA=e CT wayward Boy.

The News and Courier, of Saturday
published the following particu ars OF
the sad fate ol a wayward boy OF
Charleston: Friday morning tue re.
mains Of young Arthur Dinefelder,
the laj who ran away from his home,
at No. II So,ing street, several days
sec. and was fatally injured While
s.eaiirg a ride on 4 s u.h Carolina
ard Georgia freight train last Thurs
day morning, near Denmark, were
brcneht to the CITY. and FfiGay after
rcnn the boGy o: the lad was laid to
resi- IL tie S. Llureuc5 cemetery. It
was only when the oUdy was brought
to the city Friday morning at II
o'clock that the particulars of the
youths tragic death were obtained.
Il seems that youag Dtngfelder was
passioDately fond of running away
from rome and stealing rides on
freight trains. At home he erjHye6
every comfort ard II dulgerce that his
parents could oestow upon him, but
be had morbid desire to spend a
tran1p's life, aud every few months he
you'd leave home. This became to
be OF such common occurrence that
when his parents learned that Arthur
had left the city last Wednesday night
on South Carolina and Georgia
freight train in company with Robert
Lines ard Ollie Davis they were not
surprised. The three lads left on the
freight train about o'clock Wednes-
day night and when the train reached
Denmark Arthur in some way fell be-
tween two cars while the train was in
motion. One of his legs was so badly
crushed that it had to be a1nputated as
soon as physician could be sum-
moned. The Lad succumbed to the
shock OF the amputation Friday
moroing an inquest wss held over the
remains and g verdict was rendered to
the etfsc. that Arthur Dingfelder had
beer accidentally run over and killed
by fright train on the South Caro-
lina and Georgia Railroad. Young
Arthur was an unusually bright boy
and the pride OF his parents. The lad
was lit9 well known in Charleston
and Inc news Of his oeath will be re-
cei7ed with much sorrow.

CCNFESSES SEVEN MURDERS.
Remarkable Sscry OF Negro in Ntw
Orleans.

Antonio Richard, alias Creole, P"
the negro arrested on the Ellington
plantation in Charles parish, few
miles above New Orles rs, charged
with the robbery &nd murder OF Louis
Z4igler, is actually staggerl ?g the au-
thorities with the extent of Lis confes-
sions. Creole was the leader OF q gang
which included two other men, named
Morris and Washiag glcD, aud two wo-
men, named Octavie and Lavinia Al
exander They were arrested because
some OF Z Z.igler's property vas found
n their possession, AID they were sus
pected of the murder.
Creole confessed the crime aud tod
how Z:ieler vas robbed and murdered.
Yesterday he confessed to second
murder, saying that he had killed
Charles Constantine, a peddler, who
has been missing for some tine. Gre

swamp He pointed out the place OF
burial, and the remains were found
there, with proof that the body was
Constantine's, and that he lad bse1

ole stated.
Creole renewed ire confessions ard
admitted FIVE more murders. He

The murder OF Alexis, which oc,

CAUGHT IN THE ACT,
Two Lndi"R Discover How They Had

Made Themselves DisagreeabIe.
Two ladies were standing on the
doorstep of house in Georgetown,
where but moment before they had
rung the bell, and were waiting to be
admitted. One was talking along very
intently, when the taller woman in
terrupted her.
''Be careful" she said, somebody
may hear YOU
I'm very particular" responded the
other. Il looked all around before [
said anything and there was nobody
in sight"
That's what | thought once. too. and
| made serious mistake. | was call.
ing once, just as we now are, and was
with woman who could and did say
the meanest things about people | ever
heard talk. I'm not given to that kind
of thing usually, but do love bit of
gossip, and sometimes | am led into
saying things | shouldn't. On this oc-
| casion the lady we were to call on was
not a fayorite of mine, and when the
other woman said something sarcastic
| chimed right in and said | thought
she was the silliest and most eXtrav-
agant and homeliest and dowdiest and
stupidest woman of my entire acquain-
lance, and that l only called from a
sense of duty anyhow. And few other
things, like that, | said
well, we We're let in after long
wait and the reception we got was the
,.bi | l.,
understand it, for we were really on
very good terms, as those things go,
| and we got out as soon as we could.
That night | told my husband about it
when he came home, and he wondered
at it, too. Next evening he came in
smiling, and told me that the next
| time | had anything to say about my
neighbors on their own doorsteps |
| had better first see if there were any
| speaking tubes to tell on me. That
| explained it all in second \ doc
| tor used to live in that same house
and he had a speaking tube at the
| door, as physicians do. The lady we
were calling on had never changed it.
| and, as | found out afterward, the
mean thing, she used to sit close to
| the other end of that tube and listen
to what people might be saying at the
| door.
"She didn't make much by listening
to me, and she didn't dare to tell me
that she knew what l thought of her,
and [ didn't care if she did know, only
| since that time | have been more care
ful. There's a tube up there, see?"
and the tall lady pointed to an innocent
looking mouthpiece pouting out of the
door frame. However, there was no
response to their ring, and as they met
the lady coming in just as they started
away they felt perfectly safe and had
nice call.-Washingto CAN.

THEORY THAT FAILED.


Taking Time by the ForeIock Was
the Cause of All Her Troubles.
"Never talk to me again about tax
ing time by the forelock, or any of that
nonsense again." calculated the girl
who isalWays in hurry to a friend who
holds serenity to be the most valuable
of virtues. IF ever again | try to get
anywhere before too late, | hope I'll
have just such another time as did to-
day. Tell you about it. indeed. Why
else do you suppose | would have come
to see you? If hadn't followed your
advice | shouldn't have had such an aw-
full time.
ITO begin with, | obeyed your sug-
gestion, and got up at five o'clock. Talk
OF early rising adding to ones chances
of success; it made me so sleepy that
L was positively cross by breakfast time,
and as for studying, all | could do was
to wonder when in the world that tardy
meal would be ready, and whether
there'd be enough of it when it did
come. And I've had headache all day
from eating too much.
Then l hurried down town, mo-
didn't hurry, dawdled, as YOU said. but
| got there long before anyone else,
Just the same. Waited around in
idleness for an hour or two,
missed all the good bargains,
because | hadn't stopped to read
the morning papers, and never saw a
single person [ wanted to. | suppose
they weren't up. When | got home
found that by starting away so early
I'd managed to miss the man l most
wanted to see-Archie, you know, and [
just know he'd come to ask me to 90
to the theater-and he'd spent half the
morning across the street with that hor-
rid Maria Jones. Invent early to the club
and missed Henry Fellows, who called
to drive me there, went home to din
ner promptly, and was just early enough
to have to help get it ready, since our
cook had gone to bed with a headache,
and burned my face until it was a sigh.
"Then | thought | might as well fol-
low the rest of your directions, and 90 to
bed early, and did-just early enough
to have my hair all damp and stringy
i was going to curl it with kids. YOU
know-when callers came | had to
send word down that I'd got a horrible
cold, of course, and now | discover that
they wanted me to go camping with
them. And | missed it all because [
tried to do things in good time. Good
time, indeed; bad time | call it, And if
ever you mention such a thing as tax
ing time by the forelock to me again.
I'll never speak to you as long as we
both live. Chicago Times-Herald.

BRITTLE FINGER NAILS.
How to Make Them as Beautiful as
They Should BE.


Many women with pretty hands are
constantly annoyed by the rough APP
pearance of their finger nails, caused
by the fact that they break and split.
The posscssor of such nails should
cut them with well-sharpened mani
cure scissors, and the nail should never
be cut or filed unless the fingers have
first been soaked in warm water The
brittleness may sometimes be lessened
by rubbing almond oil thoroughly into
the nail and finger ends on retiring at
night. y pair of old kid gloves must
then be pulled on.
The housekeeper whose nails break
easily should never stir anything on
the hot range without first slipping on
a loose glove, as the dry heat from the
fire will make her nails more brittle
than ever.
y tedspoonful of lemon juice in
cupful Of tepid water whitens and sup
pies the nails and removes all grease
and dirt. making them more easy to
polish. This should foe used every
morning, and by dabbling the fingers
few moments it is possible to make
the nails perfectly clean and tranSpar-
ent without the use of any metal
cleaner by simply rubbing under them
with a towel. 1t is also beneficial in re-
moving the skin around the nail edges.
which should never be cutwith scissors.
Rub the towel firmly all over the nail.
pushing back the skin. Do this regu-
larly every day and after few weeks
the skin growth will disappear-Amer-
lean Queen.
