A NEW EXPERIENCE.
Phebe Ann Was Greatly Worried
Over the Actions of the
Trees and Houses.

She is only a little black pickaninny who
lives down in Georgia. She is under dozen
years in age and until a short time ago had
passed all of her life on a rural plantation.
Trains and their attendant movements were
utterly unknown. Indeed, what Phebe Ann
knew Of anything outside of that plantation
would not make the beginning OF primer,
She was being educated for house servant
and hence was not permitted to roam to any
great extent. She was busy about the big
house all day and at night retired to the
shack set apart for her family.
Along, in the season, for some good rea.
son, 1t became necessary for the family to
move into city: The little negro girl was
wanted, for she had much skill in soothing
the childish woes of the heir to the estates,
30 it was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she entered
the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phebe Ann was in state of suppressed ex.
citement. She sat beside Miss Amy" as
she called her mistress, and with staring
eyes took in all that passed without com,
ment.
When she was taken into the train her
wonderment was amusing She sat GIN
Eerly on the cushions, looked out Of the win
dow and generally seemed uncertain con.
cerning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the train commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape. She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her and
her eyes filled, her lip quivered and she
smiled audibly.
What's the matter, Phebe Ann?" asked
her mistress.
"Oh, Miss Amy" walled the pickanning,

HermIt Murdered.

Toledo, June 14.-Herman Shotfisid,
aged GO, living alone in small house
in Jerusalem township, ~ miles from
here, was found dead in his home yes
terday by neighbors. He had been
shot in the head and hole in the
window showed that the shot was fired
from the outside. His body had been
dragged from a table to the window,
but the murderer did not take it fur
ther, apparently on account of the
weight. The motive for the murder
is presumed to be robbery. Sheffield
was hermit and reputed to have some
money. Coroner Henseler last night
arrived in Toledo with James B. Bodi,
a maniac who did the killing.

AN OUTING PARADISE.

Long Island is an undiscovered coun-
ry to a great number of people. Very
ew realize that the little line shown
on the large map is one hundred and
thirty-four miles long and of varying
widths up to twenty-five miles. Few
realize that it was the first section of
the United States settled by colonists
from both England and Holland, and
that their towns are to-day full of pic
turesque houses, beautiful avenues Of
trees, in fact with all the inland beau
ties and in addition the various attrac-
tions of the seashore.
While the South Shore for a portion
of its length is almost level, the North
Shore is hilly and heavily wooded.
Every portion of the island is well
suited for mans abiding place. 1t has
in most marked degree the three
great necessities of life and civilization.
Good Air, Good Water and Good Roads.
The western section Queens and Mas
sau Counties) is crossed in every direc-
tion by the best of macadam roads;
six hundred miles having been built
within three years. The eastern end
of Suffolk County has excellent roads
consisting of macadam, gravel, shell
and country roads running through the
woods or along the shore. Fishing,
hunting, bathing, yachting, cycling and
golfing are all indulged in under most
perfect conditions.
