Fortune Teller Makes at Least One
Correct Prophecy.

Macon, Ca. July 29.-Burr Brown, the
news dealer, recently encountered for
tune teller at Blockton. Mass. She ex-
amined his hands and told him he would
soon inherit property from a female rela-
tive To prove her fraud he went away
and soon returned with a woman whom
he introduced 10 the fortune teller as his
only sister. The Old woman examined the
palms of each and announced that it was
the first case within her experience where
palms would not show relationship. Mr.
Brown returned 10 Macon and thought no
more of the fortune teller until
yesterday, when he received from
Herkimer county New York
a letter inclOsng newspaper clippings
containing legal advertisement from the
ordinary of the county who gave notice
to the "heirs Of Flora Thomas that a
a certain date her will would be filed for
provate Mr.. Brown did not remember TO
have ever heard of Flora Thomas, but
when he read the list of heirs he found
in addition to his own name, the names of
several cousins whom he he'd known in
childhood. He knew nothing about the
value of the estate, but he is now con-
WINGED of the accuracy of sthe old for
tune teller's prophecy.

FELL INTO RIVER.
Lawrence Keegan Missed His Foot
Ing While at Work.
Unconscious wh:n Taken Out-Remoyed
10 the Hospital.

At few minutes past o'clock this
afternoon, one of the werkmen en-
rloyed by Contractor Tank on the con-
structien OF the river walls. While work.
ing on the Dyer street sde, missed his
footing and fell between two OF the
joists into the river. In about min
ute after he struck the water he was
picked up by some OF the workmen who
had a boat, and was Immediately taken
TO the wharf at the corner Oh South
Water and Crawford streets.
Here the man was placed upon
barrel, and, under the direction OF Mr..
Tanks boss carpenter, was rolled by
several men, but apparently without
any beneficial effect. From the appear
ance of the victim IL was thought that
in falling into the water he must have
struck his head against some hard sub
stance, which rendered him uncon-
scious, for he had hardly been In the
water long enough TO Kill him, and
he made no struggle when his body
came TO the surface.
After quite a long delay the ambu-
lance from the Rhode Island Hospital
arrived and the physician in charge
said he thought life was extinct, but
the man was taken to the hospital at
once, in order to save his life, IL possi-
BILE. 1t Was learned from one of the
foremen that the mans name was
Lawrence Keegan, about 80 years or
age, who lives at No. 14s Brook street.
After working over him some time
the doctors at the hospital pronounced
the unfortunate man dead.

An effort has been made by several legisla- lures to pass such a law for the State, but because of the ignorance in the past of the workings ofsueh a system, the efforts have been un- successful.

The city of Pine Bluff has given it trial and found it to be successful, and with Pine Bluffs experience confronting them, the salons may be more ready and willing to adopt it.
