Assassinations Follow One Another In
Swift Succession.
A special from Selma, Ala, says:
lawlessness runs rampant nea" Rich
mond, in the southern end of this
county. Several months since West
Ethridge rode up behind Allie Cole
man, n wealthy farmer, and blew the
top Of his head off with double-barrel
shot gun. He has managed to elude
arrest.
Later Barrett Duckworth, Coleman's
body servant, was assassinated in his
house, and public opinion laid the
crime at Ethridges hands.
A month ago Shelley Sumner, q
nephew of Ethridge, was killed by
Charles Nelson, a relative OF Duck
worth.
Last Wednesday night Frank Banks,
cousin Of Nelson, was shot down from
the darkness while standing in the
door of his home.
All OF the murders are thought tic
have grown out of the Ethridge-Cole-
man killing. Not an arrest has 80 far
been made, although officers have
made repeated raids.

up in the center, sending IL down INTO
the psrquet with q great scattering Of
joists and timbers.
Pandemonium reigned. The news
spread rapidly and there was a rush Of

ed Governor O'Ferrall that in his
opinion it is necessary to have the
boundary line between Maryland and
Virginia in the Pocomoke sound and
river established and that he himself
will have the matter attended to.
The matter referred to has been re-
peatedly investigated by both the
states concerned and Virginia has al
ways taken tho ground that the pres
cut boundary line is the one laid down
by the Black and jenkins award. Four
years ago the legislature of both states
appointed special commissioners, who
went over the ground very carefully
and the Virginia committee afterward
reported in favor OF retaining the ex-
listing boundary line.
The Maryland people declined to
accept this line.

Assistant Chief Alexander Scott Of
Che division Of drafting Of the Patent
Office has an interesting list of the
patents granted TO women inventors Of
the United States, compiled from 1870
60 January 1, 1895. Up to that period
there had been issued 53l ,G18 patents
to oil persons, the number of women
included being surprisingly large. The
articles on which the patents have
been granted comprise everything in
tho patentable line, from o curling iron
10 cooking stove, and from a war
vessel TO handsaw. While many of
tho patents are no objects of peculiar
interest to women, many Of them are
on scientific machines, objects Of war

would DO only useful to the male por-
lion Of humanity. OF course, the baby

The PHYSICIANS ARE NONpLUSSED.
Twenty Nine New Gases For the Day-A
Tabuiated Record of
Infected cities.

Wednesday was the record smasher
in the number OF deaths in single
day from yellow fever since the sick
ness was first reported in New Or
leans. II is difficult to find the cause
except in the fact that concealment,
neglect and rebellion against the
authority Of the board Of health have
made it difficult for the best physi-
clans to give proper attention to cases
At 7 o'clock Wednesday evening
there had been nine fatalities reported
during twenty.four hours. Hereto
fore the highest number of deaths in
any one day has been six
At the board of health meeting there
was some discussion among the gath
cred physicians as to whether the dis
case had assumed suddenly more
virulent form or whether an aggrega-
ton OF circumstances had sent up the
list of deaths. Prominent doctors say
they do not believe the disease has be-
come malignant in type. They believe
that the fact that on some days there
have been four or five deaths, on sue
ceeding days no deaths, and then four
or five again, goes to prove that the
fever has been as eccentric before as it
IL now.
At Mobile.
Seven new cases in the city proper
and six brought into the city from
Magazine Point, three miles out, made

no deaths for seventy-two hours.
Dr. Guiteras Turned Down.
No now cases were reported as sus-
picious in Galveston Wednesday and
there were no deaths from yellow
fever. All the cases reported as sus-
picious are dismissed by the doctors,
or are convalescent.
The city council met and passed a
resolution calling upon Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman to have DIR. Guiteras
retusn, or to send some other expert to
investigate other towns in Texas and
to watch tho progress of the disease
there and elsewhere.
The city council adopted a resolu-
ton refusing to accept DR.. Guiteras'
diagnosis.

so fast, You must know how Old your
frog IS. before You can declare that II IL
not fish. He Is born a taipole, and breathes
through giHs, just a any nsh does. Then,
he eats vegetable matter, and has no doubt
about his identity until a dreadful day
comes, when he finds his appetite for his
usual food gone. his tail gone, and his
gills almost gone.
He is, indeed, on the b0rier-line between
fish and flesh, and for several days, does
not eat or breathe, for fear OF making
mistake Then, suddenly, he hops out Of
the pond, eats animal food only, breathes
air instead Of water, ana joins the great
amphibiOus family.
But the frog is not the only fish out Of
water" There is a fish in Brazil that lives
in shallow ponds. The sun drinks all the
water up in summer, and he would have
to die, II he were a real fish, but he is
what is it2'' He encrusts himself with
mud, breathes air. aud lives the life of
land animal, until the winter rains come,
and throw him into the swim again.
What DO you think Of a likeness be
tween reptiles and birds? They both, in
common with fish, lay eggs and hatch
their young, to be sure but who ever heard
Of a snake0with feathers There are none
living now, I believe, but fossil one has
been found. all covered with feathers, and
it has been called the "archaeopteryx."
Then. there is a bird-or is it an animal?
found in Australia apd called by a very
long name that ends With the Latin for
paradox" The Australian paradox lives
up to it's name, for il looks. ike a bird,
but acts like an animal; thac is to say, il
IS larger than big goose; IL has the head
and the bill of duck wings, and webbed
feet, and the male has spurs like a fight
ing-cock.
Yet the paradox never lays an egg. which,
according to the lines drawn by man,
means that it is not bird, for a bird, to
be bird. must be hatched from an egg
This feathered, winged, web-footed, duck
of creature. must be an animal, for its
young are born alive, with no intermediate
process of Matching from a shell.
So, we find, in the animal kingdom, the
same mixed-up condition Of things that we
find in the others, only they are not so
easily demonstrated There are mineral
plants, and plant-minerals; there are ami
mal-plants, and plant-animals; and there
are mineral-animals and animal-minerals.
There are, also, as l have told you fish
that are not always fish; and there are SER
penis that are, or have been, half-bird
and we have, to-day, living birds that are
haf-animal
one learned man tried, recently, to make
things clearer by proposing a special class
for creatures that are neither vegetable
nor animals. calling them ''protesta," but
this would only make matters worse, for
If we are to have one new class, we must
have more.
The truth is that all these so-called
| freaks" are but links in the long chain OF
family likeness that exists among the Gre
ated things Of the world, which you will
| study with much interest when you come
| to look into the law of evolution,
