this manner because the number of in

until they became sober.
The Commissioners doubted their author

without authority to make the proposed

PinclSney's Murderer.
Charleston, S. c., March 30.-The grand
jury of Charleston, which is trying to in
vestigate the murder of Thomas Pinckney,
jr., the young lawyer and society man who
was killed in the street five weeks ago
had lively tilt today. Pinckney had been
calling on Miss Elizabeth Bardin and left
her home at midnight. Half block away
he was shot down. Nothing was taken from
his person and the only thing missing was
his hat, which has never been accounted
for. The coroner had long investigation
and ascertained nothing The theory that
Pinckney was killed by footpads is not be-
lieved here and the grand jury was in
structed by the court to work up the case.
For nearly two weeks a second investiga-
tion has been in progress and ii has been
limited that surprising developments would
come out probably this week.
In this second investigation today Mrs.

on whom Pinckney was calling; Miss Eliza
beth Bardin, and Miss Mary Radcliffe. a
stylish young woman from Philadelphia,
who was visiting the Bardins at the time

Miss Hardin and Miss Radcliffe were ex-
amined by the coroner. During the prog
ress of the investigation today a juror is
said TO have told Miss Radcliffe that the
public believed and thought that every
body at the Bardin house on the night Of
the killing should have been put in jail at
once.

Love at First Sight.

Believers in the possibility of love at
first sight may feel sympathetic in
terest, and perhaps find Darwinian
argument, in a story of the first meet
ing of two apes in the London zoo. We
retelI the tale from wild Animals In
Captivity"
Sarah was seated alone in her cage
when a new ape made his appearance
in front of the bars. Instantly both
animals uttered short cries, and, bend
ing toward each other, protruded their
thin lips until they met across the bars
of the cage. Then, as the keeper threw
open the cage door, the apes rushed in
to each others arms and. squatting on
the floor, Rugged each other with comic
affection. In few seconds they rose
and, standing erect, raised their arms
above their heads, grasped each others
front paws and screamed and howled
in mutual appreciation.
Let us hope that they lived happy
ever after.

Sure of Water.

Sir Joseph PrestWich had bought in
1864 a small estate near Sevenoaks, on
which he built residence, but it was
high up on dry and treeless chalk
down. Where was water to be found
80 confident was Prestwich in re
spect of water supply that he at once
engaged an old well digger to sink a
well 1853 feet deep. The boring pro-
ceeded, but when a depth of 166 feet
was reached the two workmen went to
the city and sought an interview with
their employer, whom they found at
his desk. They explained that there
was no sign of water and that in their
opinion it was useless to bore to a
greater depth. Go on was the quiet
rejoinder, you will come upon water to-
morrow. You are within two feet of
it.
Next day it proved exactly as Prest
witch had fOretold. And ever after.
among many of the denizens Of the val
ley, he had the reputation, much to
his amusement, Of not being quite
'canny. Life and Letters of Sir Jo-
seph Prestwich.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

By local applications as they can
not slit reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the infama-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by eatarrh
which is nothing but an intamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

looks at you inquiringly and suspends
operations while he asks, Razor suit
you, sir? If you answer yes, he al
ways turns around and strops the ra-

promptly changes the blade. Why he
should do either when you say you
