BLIND MANS BUFF,
The Origin Of This FavOrite Sport O
Childhood and Youth.

h Origin Of This FavOrite Sport Of
Childhood and Youth.
This ~favorite sport Of childhood and
youth is Of French origin and very high
antiquity, having been introduced into
England in the train Of the Norman
conquerors. Its French name, "Colin
Maillard, was that Of a brave warrior,
the memory Of whose exploits still lives
IN the chronicles of the middle ages.
In the year 500 Liege reckoned among
its valiant chiefs one Jean Colin. He
acquired the name Maillard from his
chosen weapon being a mallet, where.
with in fight he used literally to crush
his opponents. In one of the feuds
which were of perpetual recurrence in
those times be encountered the Count
de Lourain i'll a pitched battle, and, so
runs the story. in the first onset Colin
Malllard lost both his eyes. He ordered
bis esquire to take kim into the thickest
OF the fight, and, furiously hrandishing
his mallet, did such fearful execution
that victory soon declared itself for him.
When Robert Of France heard of these
feats at arms, he lavished favor; and
honors upon Colin, and so great was
the fame of the exploit that it was COM
memorated in the pantomimic repre-
sensations tina. formed part of the rude
dramatic performances of the age. BY
degrees the children learned to act it
for themselves, and it took the form Of
q familiar sport.
The blindfolded pursuer, as, with
bandaged eyes and extended hands, he
gropes for a victim to pounce. upon,
seems in some degree to repeat the &C.
ton Of Colin Maillard, the tradition OF
which is also traceable in the name,
blind mans bluff.-Philadelphia Press.

Invited to Speak.
Big Basket Dinner to be Spread
and Every Body Invited.

1t has been definitely decided to have
the cornerstone of the new Masonic
Temple laid on Wednesday, July 9Th,
and all necessary arrangements to that
end are being made. TO these cere-
monies the Brookhaven Masonic
Lodge proposes to invite all sister
lodges of this and adjoining counties
and make the day a notable one. In
conjunction with these ceremonies. but
not as part of them, the Masonic
fraternity being strictly non-political
and -sectarian, it is proposed to
have general holiday 10 Brookhaven
and political speaking, matters being
so arranged that neither program will
enterfere with the other.
With the view Of carrying out this
latter idea a citizens meeting was
held at the Mayors Office Friday night,
presided over by Alderman Schnnor-
renberg, with B. T. Hobbs as secretary.
At this meeting it was decided to ap-
point committee of arrangements to
cooperate with the Masonic fratern-
ity, enlist every citizen of Brookhaven
and make the day a general holiday
here worthy of Brookhaven people
and the city's growing importance.
The committe was also empowered to
select and invite a number of promi-
nent political speakers to be present
and address the people on that day.
B. T. Hobbs, Chas. E. Grafton and
Chas. Heuck were appointed as said
committee, to which Chairman Schnor-
renberg, Harry Tibbs and P. z. Jones
we're added.
This committee met on Saturday and
decided to invite all of the candidates
for United States Senate, both for the
long and short term, and Judge Longi-
no and Judge Powell of the guberna-
torial candidates. A sub committee
was appointed to make canvass for
cash and other contributions and this
committee has met with the most en-
couraging success. President Cham
bers has kindly granted the use of the
College Campus for the tables, and the
basket dinner will be spread there.
It is desired to have everybody come
and bring baskets. The ladies', who of
course are invited and expected to
hear the speaking, will assist in the
arrangement of the tables.
1t is understood that all the stores
and business houses will be closed the
the greater portion of the day to allow
everybody chance to hear the speak
ers, and participate in the enjoyment
of the occasion.

Held for Murder.

In 1894 farmer named Ras Chapel
was murdered near Norfield, in this
county, by unknown parties one even
ing about dusk, when he went to his
hogpen to feed his hogs. The matter
remained shrouded in mystery until
the meeting of the grand jury last
month, when evidence was brought be-
fore that body leading to the indict-
ment of Is of Chappel's neighbors as
the murderers. No arrests were made
until last week, but last Thursday all
the accused we're brought here by
Deputy Sheriff Elan Robinson and ar
ranged before Chancellor Conn, sitting
as a committing magistrate. Owing to
the absence of the States witnesses,
who could not be found, they were ali
granted bail until the next term of
the Circuit Court in the sum of $500
each. Their names are as follows:
Hude Moak, Andrew Moak, Rank
r. Brown, j. r. Brown, T. A. Brown,
ii. W. Brown, j. b. Brown, J. r. AL
britton and J. NJ. S. Reeves.
The principal State witnesses against
the accused are lack Moak and J. A.
Reeves. All of the parties are reported
to have belonged to the old White Cap
organization which flourished in that
portion of the county five or six
years ago, and these witnesses are re-
ported to have turned States evidence
and given away their associates on
account of recent falling out. Both
are known to have absconded for the
time being, and it is believed they left
for fear of violence if they remained
in their old haunts. 1t is said Reeves
sold his growing crop, carried his wife
to her fathers several days ago, and
left her and departed for parts un-
known.
The accused were represented before
Judge Conn last Thursday morning by
