Sad Tragedy on the Street In Front of
Phoenix Hotel, Chicago.
Chicago, May 3O.-Albert Wall, II years
old, was deliberately killed by Thomas
H. Dean last night in front of the Phoe-
nix hotel. After a short chase by a crowd
of men and boys Dean was arrested In
the afternoon Thomas Dean, in COM
pany with his brother William, were on
their way to meeting and while passing
the Phoenix hotel had words with a
crowd of boys who were standing there.
William Dean says that the crowd at
tackled them, and during the struggle the
brothers were badly cut and bruised.
Fearing that they would be killed the
two brothers drew revolvers and retreat
ed under cover.
William Dean took his brother up to his
house. and they changed their blood
stained shirts. In the evening they
again went through the crowds. While
walking homeward Thomas Dean told
his brother that they must be avenged for
the assault made upon them. Both then
started off to find the boys who had as
saulted them. Thomas took the lead, and
passed in front of tho Phoenix hotel,
where several boys We're standing, and
among them was Albert Wall
Nothing was said as the brothers
passed. Thomas Dean stopped few
feet from the crowd and, signalling out
Wall, asked him to step aside for few
minutes. Dean then accused Wall of as
saulting him, and in return Wall said
that he had never seen Dean before.
Dean then drew his revolver and said,
You are the boy that assaulted me-"
Instantly a shot was fired and Wall
fell to the sidewalk dead, having been
shot behind the left ear. The two broth
ers started to run away, but were chased
and captured by the spectators who had

The Daunt1ess Commodore.

Whose brilliant exploit halOes

Sagacious, cool and fearless,
He from the jaws of death
Has wrested living triumph
A stroke that takes ones breath.
o whoop and hat for Dewey,
The dauntless Commodore,
Whose dazzling, swift achievement
Was never matched before!
He sailed the bay in darkness
AS safely as in light,
The very God of battles
His guidance, shield and might.

Rear Admiral is he,
But in the rank the foremost
His rank must ever be.
This loyal true VermOnter,
For peace has mastered war;
He seeks results of duty,
The means he must abhor.

The sailor bold and true,
Who bears alOft in triumph
The red, the white and blue.
He bears our starry banner
In triumph DER the sea,
Humanity its message,
Its spirit liberty

Is well designed to teach
Shall have potent influence
AS wide as human speech.

On LIES tempestuous sea,
BY self denial, virtue,
Success can only be.

Dangers From violent Exercise.

There is considerable diversity Of
opinion as to the safety with which wo-
men may indulge in violent exercise in
view of possible injury. AS regard the
heart, there appears to be but one opin-
ion-namely, that that organ, accus-
toned to a quiet life, may be danger
ously and permanently crippled by the
excessive strain in athletic sports. Elk
perience in medical practice, says an
eminent authority, teaches that the pa
tient with a weak heart must be ex-
tremely cautious in his exercises, and
the demonstration of dilatation of the
healthy heart under sudden, violent,
exhausting effort which has been made
was of surprising nature. Many elm
ical observers in Germany and in this
country have detected by percussion and
observation of the changes in the heart
beats that there is under strain and exer-
ton considerable dilatation, which con-
tinues for shorter or longer time after
the exertion is over. Ocular proof Of
this has been afforded by the Roentgeu
rays. This shows not only the need OF
caution by those in good health, but
more particularly so in the case of those
who suffer frcm any weakness, consti'
tutional or otherwise. in this organ

The Bonapartes always were super
stitious, especially the mother of Napo-
leon. She always had presentiment
that the rise and fall Of her family
would occur in the same century, that
the glory which was prophesied for
them would be followed by disaster
And the prediction was verified. She
died in her eighty seventh year, having
lived long enough to see the downfall
Of all her children.
Napoleon always feared Dec. 2 af

The Highly G,ftad Cow.

1t is said that something bordering
on the miraculous has lately happened
at Tickton, village in Yorkshire. A
farmer bought what he thought was
drinking trough for his cattle, which
did very we'll for all his stock but one,
and this was a COW that never would
drink from it. This causing some incon-
venience, the farmer mentioned it. un-
til the fact came to the ears of a local
antiquary, who on examination pro-
nounced the supposed trough to be a
font, and further research showed that
