from gAa lodging house on FRIDAY night
preceding the murder, and about 8

a story that he had been held up"

quent events, however, seem to show
that there was method in his madness.
At 8 o'clock on Saturday morning the
inmates of the lodging house were
aroused by the sounds of pistol shots.
and getting up and rushing into the
hall, found Sanchez, dressed in trou-
sers and shirt, running about the place
f~ourishing a revolver. He declared
that some one had shot his wife and
had run down the back stairs. An ex-
animation Of his room revealed his
dead wife in bed, with a bullet through
her brain and powder marks on her
hair and the bed sheet, showing that
the shot had been fired at close range.
Sanchez declared that the assassin had
fired from the doorway, which was at
least ten feet from the bed; that he
had awakened to see the man running
away, and, taking his pistol from be-
meath his pillow, had shot at and pur-
sued him. The story was not believed,
and Sanchez was Immediately arrested.
Since then, by the influence of solitary
confinement and a liberal application
of the sweating" process. he has con-
fessed that he himself fred the shot,
but claims that it was accidental, and
that he awoke at 8 o'clock, thinking
of the holdup, and in a semi-conscious
condition seized his revolver, which

Two Strange Gases of Poisoning.

In the far northeastern corner Of
Arizona Territory, that is to say, In
Navajo county, a young man was bit

most at the same time, at Yuma, in
the extreme southwestern corner Ct
the Territory, a little girl ate some of
the berries that fell from the umbrella
trees which grow so plentifully In
Southern Arizona. The young man
lived, but the little maiden died. The
latter case is the most remarkable,
perhaps, for until this instance not
even the medical profession suspected
that there was anything poisonous
about the umbrella tree. The child's
name was Dora Lynch, her father be-
ing well known in Yuma. The lucky
young man in the northwest was Or
rim Barney.

til Death Faced Him.
For twenty years William H. Jerola.
men of Morristown, N. j., was silent in
his home. He made a vow never to
speak to his wife again and kept 1t un-
til death faced him. One morning he
woke up to find hat pneumonia had
laid its grip upon him. He was so
years old and he felt that he could not
recover. Then he broke the oath,
spoke to his wife, kissed her and died.
Upon the day he took sick he sent for
the woman whose love he had spurned
for SO many years. His wife benz over
him with a love that all his harshness
never had killed. He saw the light
in her eyes and, feebly essaying to take
her hand, he sobbed: Dear, I'm SO
sorry. Will you forgive me?" For
give him? Would she? Kneeling by
the dying mans bedside she wept soft
ly, while he, with tongue freed at last,
rambled on deliriously about old times.
She did not leave him until the end
came. He died with his hand in hers
and a look of happiness that his face
had not borne in twenty years. The
quarrel occurred back in the "70s over
a trifiing affair. At that time Jerola-
men was SO years old. He kept his VOW
and lived on, utterly ignoring the wo-
man who had shared his joys and sor-
rows so long. They lived in a cottage
at Mount Arlington, Morris county,
but, as far as Jerolamen was concern
ed, it was as If his wife was not liv-
ing. She bore the slight without a
murmur. He dined in silence and
alone and SO did she. Often Mrs. Jero-
lamen had to speak to her husband In
reference to household affairs, but he
never answered. He was a church

Seven Million Dollars in Fish Waste,

In the United States the fisheries are
worth about fCrty-five million dollars
a year. The fish refuse is so economi-

An Eighteenth Century Character.

What became of unmarried gentlewom-
EN- in the eighteenth century, There wers
many Some had money and lived alone,
with the brevct rank Of mistress. Some
had none and lived for the most part
with the eldest brother. Even the thought
of working for their livelihood was n deg.
radiation unspeakable. In fact, they did
work, but it was the household work.
Such woman is described by Crosse, wit
ing in 1898. He says:
When i was q young man, there existed
in the families of most unmarried men 81
widowers of the rank Of gentlemen, resi-
dents in the country, certain antiquattt

San,ple of Mexican Justice.

In Mexico the laws delays are less vex-
atious than in the United States. Indeed
one hears nothing at all about delay in the
administration of Mexican justice. A
short time ago paymaster went down

900. He stopped overnight at q ranch,
where he was robbed and murdered. The
robbers were caught by the local police,
but tho magistrate discharged them. Then
the government took u hand In the affair.
The robbers were caught again and shot
Immediately. The magistrate who had
acquitted them was also shot, The watch

According to Mrs. George st. J. Shelf.
field s recent history Of Attleboro and that
part of Bristol county, Mass, Captain
Thomas Willett, the man who lies buried
at the head Of Bullocks cove, stood at the
head of the Attlcboro proprietors. Willett's
history does not belong exclusively to At.
tloboro, only that he took an active part in
the original Rehoboth North Purchase.
Not much is known of him previous to his
emigration to America.
He was made assistant to the governor
plymouth colony) in 1851 and held that
Office until 1855. He was selected at this
time by the Plymouth court, agreeably
to his mojesty's commissioners, to attend
them at New York, which had Just been
surrendered by the Dutch, for the purpose
of assisting them in organizing the new
government. 1t Is mentioned by Davis in
note to his edition Of Morton's "Me-
mortal, " that Colonel Nichols, one of tho
commissioners, in letter to Governor
Prince, written from New York, in the
spring following the reduction of the
Dutch settlements, requests that Captain
Willett may have such a dispensaton
from his official engagements in Plymouth
colony as To be at liberty to assist in mod
cling and reducing the affairs in the set
Element into good English" Colonel Mich
OILS remarked that "Willett was more ac-
qunintod with the customs and manners
of the DUTY than any man in this coun-
try, and that this conversation was very
/ acceptable to them"
Captain Willett executed his duties there
to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.
His services were so highly appreciated
and he rendered himself so popular with
the people that after the organization Of
! the government he was chosen the first
English mayor of New York. He was
! elected to the same office second time.
