: Carlyle's Estimate.

An artist who frequented Carlyle's
house painted a picture of him in
his dressing gown, smoking a pipe
by the tireside, and Mrs. Carlyle in
an armchair sitting opposite him.
The picture was hung at one of the
Royal academy's exhibitions, and,
though not a striking work of art,
was purchased by Lord Ashburton,
Carlyle's friend, for $500. The de-
lighted artist hurried off to the Car
lyles, expecting congratulations on
the sale and some manifestation of
pleasure on their part at having such
value set on picture of them
selves and their domestic interior.
He delivered his glad tidings, but
all the response he received from
Carlyle was, SWELL, in my opinion,
$500 was just e495 too much !'-San

PreventabIe Diseases.

Hear what great scientist writes
More than half a million people
die every year from diseases that
are called preveptable OF filth OF
germ diseases. They are so called
because they could be prevented.
They are derived from filth and
they are caused by germs.
The lax sanitation of the great
cities of America causes pollution OF
the water, soil and air of the land.
People drink polluted water, breathe
polluted air and live on polluted
soils. AS consequence they are
poisoned. The instructive remedy
appears to be alcohol. Sewer gas
and the general products of the pu.
trefaction of dead organic matter
poison the blood, depress the spirits,
weaken the appetite and digestion,
and the people drink alcohol.
II believe the great cause Of learn
ing to drink is sickness and poor
sanitation and that is what makes
prohibitory laws difficult or impos,
sible. The way to secure prohibition
is to Danish disease and disease in.
lection from the earth. The disease
poisons are the constituents of King
Alcohol. If they are banished, he
viii labdicate without waiting to be
prohibited.

Should Brand Mixed Flour.

CHICAGO, March 9.-The following
resolution has been adopted by the
board of trade: "The directors of the
board of trade Of the city Of Chicago
believe that it is for the best interests
OF all the people of the United States
engaged in the raising, manufacturing,
selling or exporting cereal products
that no deception should be practiced
in furnishing such cereals or any prod
ucts thereof to the consumer and we
believe that this can only be accom-
plished by national legislation, requir-
ing that all packages containing mixed
cereal products should be plainly
marked and branded as such mixed
product, in order to protect the integ-
rity of the American manufactured
cereal products at home and abroad /;
and that the board of directors of the
board of trade of the city of Chicago
heartily favors any national legislation
that will accomplish these results"

SHOT BY HIS oHUM,

the Principals In Double Tragedy.
LANCASTER, Pa, March 9.-Roy
Gehrig of Milton, Pa, shot and perhaps
fatally wounded Will B. Davis of ST..
Clair, Pa, at Miuersville today, and
then killed himself. The boys were
pupils OF Pierce's Business college at
Philadelphia, and went to Millelsville
on Saturday to call upon two lady stu
dents at the normal school there. They
returned to the village last night about
10 o'clock, and securing room at
Hoak's hotel, retired Immediately. Ear
~ this morning the inmates Of the
place were startled by fusillade Of
pistol shots, and moment later Davis
came running down stairs with blood
gushing from several wounds in his
face. Another shot was heard, fol-
lowed by the sound of a body falling to
the floor. Davis ran into the barroom,
exclaiming: "My chum shot me. !"
Those who rushed to the room where
she tragedy occurred found Gehrig
lying on the floor with a bullet hole in
his temple. He died without regaining
consciousness. A note written by
Gehrig and found near his body gives
his explanation of the tragedy, as fol-
lows :s.We are dead in love with Alice
Cummings and Annie Holmes, and not
being able to see them and their keep
ing away FROM us, we resolved to take
our lives. We would like to be Gre
mated, SO notify our parents at once. {"
Davis says he knows nothing of the
note and denies there was any compact
to commit suicide

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 3.-All tho

Grant G. Gillett, the Kansas cattle
plunger, is in chihuahua, Old Mexico.
Charles A. Shaeffer of the Holmes
Commission company, who swore out
warrant for Gillett's arrest, has gone
to chihuahua with an officer.
The commission men and brokers
who are interested in bringing Grant
Gillett back to face the charges filed
against him refused yesterday to say
where he was located, but reiterated
the statement that he was under ar
rest and would be brought back.
An agreement has been reached by
the creditors of Plunger Gillett, so
that all claims that cloud the title of
the cattle will be held back and all
the cattle sold as fast as possible. The
cash will go to the National Bank of
Commerce for deposit and will be held
there pending the litigation over the
cash,
