EGG-SUCKING IS NOT ELEGANT,

Sucking eggs is said to be very
healthy, and. If they are your own eggs.
it may be all right; but surprising to
say. the virtue Of the egg-sucking lies
in stealing the eggs! There was n time
when the habit was very dlsreputable
In Virginia, and it was forbidden even
to dogs. on pain of death. But times
change. and men change with them.
Even rotten eggs are said TO be a
dainty with some gormanda.-thcir

suckers. or course. at the thronged
feast. where greed and appetite are
stimulated by example, the devouring
crowd hardly leave any shells for the
dogs: but, with Il full stomach in soli-
tuds it may occur to some intelligent
and once clean man. that egg-suckng
in itself is Il dirty business, even for
stray and halr-starved dogs, and that
no decent person ought to indulge in
1t. even though NIammon and fashion

 SUICIDE ON A TRAIN.
WAS DONE AT JONESBORO
He Was Being Taken Back to the Scene of His rime-Slashed His
 Throat Twice.

During the summer of 1893 Allen Martin, well-to do farmer of Sum- merville, Calhoun county, was as- eassinated in his cora field. 1t was generally believed that the murder was committed by q negro named Wiley Bum, who lived in the neigh boThood, aud who had grudge against Martin, and because he had skipped the country. The governor of Arkansas and citizens of Calhoun county offered large rewards for the capture of Bum, dead or alive.
 Chas Martin, relative of the de- ceased, and j. E. Witherington searched for him stubbornly. After being out several days they returned and reported that they had discoy- cred him in the Mississippi river bot toms and were compelled to kill him as the only means of effecting his capture. On their statement the re- wards were promptly paid them. But there was considerable doubt in the minds of many as to the dead man being Bum.
 Later two negroes named Ware were arrested and jailed as aceesso- ries. A mob formed, called on Sher- iff Cone. demanded and received the keys to the jall They soe.n had the two negroes strung up and ri1dled with bullets.
 The matter was then dropped, and it was rapidly fading from the peo- ple's memories, when it was revived last week by the real Wiley Bum surrendering himself to the officers in East St. Louis, stating ne was being tormented to death by the thought of his crime.
 Sheriff Furlow of Calhoun county, went to St, Louis last week secured Bum, and Saturday morning at s o'clock left with him over the St. Lotus Southwestern Ky, for For dyce, and from there to the Calhoun county jail at Hampton. The negro made no effort to escape from the sheriff, who never handcuffed hitn. Nothing unusual occurred on the trip till the train reached Jonesboro. Ark. At that point the negro bor rowed a knife from a white man. who was sitting near him. He then stuck bis head out of ear window and slashed his throat twice. He bled greatly and almost to death be- fore doctors reached him. He was given every attention and improved some Sun day, but the doctors say he cannot recover.
 The people of Calhoun county have sworn vengeance on the negro and say they will hang him if they get hold of him.
 Bum was brought through Pine Bluff this mornin% on thesouthbound passenger train No. B The train did not arrive until after 6 o'clock, ow- ing to some misconneetion made while enroute.
 Bum aslying on cot in'the bag gage car and seemed to be very weak, in fact, one seeing him would at once form the opinion that he wouldn't live ten minutes longer, A negro friend who happened on the same train, was sitting near, aud famed him as the several hundred specta- tors, who had previously learned that the man would pass through Pine Bluff and gathered to see him, stood by and wondered.
 Up to this writing nothing has been heard from Fordyce, where he was to have heeu taken off and car ried to the jail at Hampton.

Along the lines referred to the Age has

1t has seen the republican party--now 50

1t has seen the rise OF every public man

helped some of them to rise.
II has seen many that were prominent

OF them 20 down.
II has seen the foremost men of the
democratic party violently assailed on the
stump and in the papers by long tongued,
empty headed political blatherskites.
And 1t has seen 1t proposed that DEM
