Canton People HappX.

CANTON, Ohio, July 15.-Attorney
Austin Lynch, the law partner of
Judge Day, acting for President Nc
Kinley, is negotiating with Mrs.
Elizabeth A. Harter for the purchase
of the famous Mckinley cottage. 1t
is thought to be his desire to again
possess the home where he began
married life thirty years ago, which
is sacred to the memory of children
lost there, and which was disposed of
after the death of Mrs McKinley's
mother, when they removed to the
old Saxton homestead, now owned by
Mrs. Barber, a sister of Mrs. McKin-
ley. Many people feared that since
the death of his mother, Mrs. Nancy
Mckinley, in December, 1897, and the
seyering of other home ties, the Pres
ident might be persuaded to locate
elsewhere.

lam Going, fullblood Choctaw,
whose Indian name is Walla Ton
aka, was shot under Choctaw
laws at Alikchi, fortyfve miles in

courts in jurisdiction, excepting over
cases originating prior to the change.
Twice Walla Tonalsa was reprieved
at the last minute, once by the Choc-
taw chief, and once by writ of
habeas corpus. After the second
reprieve, which occurred last spring
Walla Tonaka was tried again, and
again sentenced to be shot. That
sentence was carried out yesterday.
Walla Tonaka was shot by two Of his
chosen friends, according to the Choc-
taw custom, in the presence of small
crowd. Goings was 80 years old. He

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 15.-The
state supreme court in banc yes
terday overruled the motion for re-
hearing made by the seventy-three
fire insurance companies effected by
the recent decision of the court. AS
soon as the announcement was made
Given Campbell and James Il. Waddill,
counsel for the companies, filed mo-
ton to modify Judgment
The motion set out that the COM
panies doing business at st. Joseph
did not intend to violate the law, and
they asked the court to set aside the
order for custer and to grant them
authority to again be licensed and to
continue business in the state of Mis-
souri, along such lines as the court
may deem proper and just in the
premises.

must be paid to the clerk of the SUI
preme court within thirty days from

NEW DRUG HABIT.
the Use of Pilocarpine Hypo-
dermically Injected.

Thomas Frazer, a druggist of 233o
Second avenue, New York, has acquired
a unique habit, which, according to
the physicians in the Harlem hospital,
has no known parallel. Eight years
ago Frazer was treated in St. Luke's
hospital, where he received injections
of pilocarpine varied with morphine
and cocaine. After he was discharged
he continued the use of the drugs. He
was taken to the Harlem hospital the
other day. DR.. Muller, who is treating
him, said:
Eve find that Frazer is a slave to the
drugs he learned to use while in St..
Luke's. His arm is full of sores made
by the needles of hypodermic syringes..
Every two hours he requires an injec-
tion of pilocarpine. Half an hour after
the pilocarpine he must take two grains
Of morphine, and half an hour later
three grains of cocaine. 1t is the first
case on record, so far as we know, where
a man has acquired the pilocarpine hsb-
it,"
Pilocarpine when taken inwardly
constricts the blood vessels.

QUITTING PUBLIC SERVICE
As Result of Mistaken Economy
Navy Department Is Losing
It's Draftsmen.

AS result of mistaken economy the
navy department is losing it's craftsmen
and designers, most Of whom are sta
toned at the navy yards and shipyards
where government work is carried on
under contract. Private concerns are
taking advantage of the experience
gained by these employees and are en-
gaging their service at higher salaries
than the department is willing to pay.
Rear Admiral IIichborn, chief con-
structor of the navy, has repeatedly
recommended an increase in the pay
of naval craftsmen, who receive four
and five dollars per day for their
services, but nothing has yet been done,
and the government finds itself in the
position Of being short-handed at time
when there is large amount of work to
be done. The situation is described by
Chief Constructor Hichborn as a seri-
Gus one, of great embarrassment at this
time to the programme of speedy con-
struction,

Court Awards Custody of Two White

Lizzie jefferson, an old negro IMAM.

the custody of Annie and Lucy Galaw,
little girls eight and ten years of age, re-
spectively, her rival claimant for the
children being the mother. The suit
which resulted in the negress obtain

But in spite of the fact that they are
white, Lucy and Annie, who were weep
ing bitterly during the progress of the
case, In fear of being given back to
their mother, rejoiced exceedingly
when Judge Aucoin pronounced judg-
ment in favor of the negress. Behind
the case there is an unusual story.
V. Galaw, the father Of the little girls,
died eight years ago. He was very poor
and was not on the best of terms with
his wife. He knew "Aunt Lizzie" and
| just before death claimed him he asked
the old woman to see that his children
did not come to want. The faithful ne
gress gave him the promise, and for the
last seven years she has worked night
and day for her charges, clothing them
nicely, and, since they have been old
enough, sending them to the public
schools.
"Aunt Lizzie" is caterer IN small
way and earns comfortable living.
She announced her intention not long
ago of sending the elder girl to Europe
to complete her education, for the child
is very bright. The devotion Of the
negress to her ''babies" has long been
the talk of the neighborhood.
Not long ago the mother married
again and demanded that "Aunt Lizzie"
give her and her husband, rent free, O
room in the house which was sheltering
her girls. The negress refused and the
mother brought suit to recover her chill.

in court.
After hearing the evidence Judge Au.
coin said he was satisfied that the chill
dren were better off with "Aunt Lizzie,
and he so ruled, much to the disgust oi
