worth six pounds Of pure gold. Lay one
of them upon piece Of white paper

A HORRIBLE DEED.
Catcher Bergen Kills His Wife, Two
Children and Himself.

A dispatch from Brookiield, Mass, says:
Martin Bergen, the catcher of the Boston
base ball team of the National League,
killed his wife and two children and COM
mitted suicide at his home here. An AK
was the implement used in taking the life
of Mrs. Bergen and one of the children,
while razor was employed TO cut the
throat of the other child, a little girl, and
the man himself. Ii is thought the act is
due to insanity. II has been suspected for
some time that Bergen was a victim of
mental arrangement. In fact, some of his
actions in connection with his base ball
managers last season led to the supposition
at that time.
Bergen was % years of age. His wife
was of about the same age, the little girl
s or 9 years old, and the boy little
younger.

Hon. Isaac jenkins, or Richmond,
Ind, General Henry w. Lawton's
sponsor, in an interview with the In
dianapolis Journal. said. after express
ing deep regret at his friends untimely
death in the Philippines:
Il first knew Harry Lawton as a
schoclbOy at Fort Wayne, a bright, in
telligent, manly boy, one Of the first to
respond to his country's call when re-
bellion threatened its destruction, and
when he was scarcely eighteen years
Of age. One morning in April. 1851,
received a telegram from Governor
Morton asking me to enlist company
at Fort Wayne in response to PresI-
dent Lincoln's first call for volunteers.
A public meeting was called for that
evening and was largely attended.
When its purpose was made known and
q call for volunteers announced, the
first to arise in response was Harry W.
LawtOn- At II o'clock that night I
telegraphed the Governor that three
ject to his orders. Governor Morton
responded the next morning that he
could receive but one and ordered me
to send forward the first that had Of
fered. This of course contained young
Lawton. This company, commanded
by Capt. William P. Segur, left imme-
diately for Indianapolis. where 1t was,
mustered into service as Company E.
in the Ninth Regiment, Indiana Volun-
teers, under command Of Colonel Mil
roy. The service was for three months
through which LawtOn served with
great credit as sergeant After the ex-
piratiOn Of his term of service in the,
Ninth Regiment, he returned home and
assisted In recruiting a company for the
Thirtieth Indiana Volunteers. and was.
made first lieutenant of Company A of
that regiment, mustered In for three
years. Sept. "a. 1851, under command
Of Col s. 8. Bass, of Fort Wayne. In
May, 1862, he was promoted to the
captaincy Of his company. At the end
Of the three years term for which the
regiment had been mustered In, all but
the veterans and new recruits returned
home and those remaining were con-
sOlidated into residuary battalion Of
seven companies. This battalion was
placed under command Of Henry W..
LawtOn as lieutenant colonel, and In
time he became colonel. and when the;
war closed 1t was serving In Texas as,
a part Of General Sheridan's army Of
occupation. When Colonel Lawton re-
tired from service In that war he ex-
pressed a wish to continue In military
life and solicited the assistance Of his
Fort Wayne friends to secure a posi-i
tion in the regular army. At his re-,
quest wrote an urgent letter to Gov
ernor Morton referring to Lawton'si
brilliant war record. Morton respond
ed promptly that he would see to it,
that commission should be obtained,
at once. and Lawton was made, at
Morton's request, second lieutenant I'M

A Healthy sick Man

An English paper says that one of
William Morris tribulations at Oxford
was the task, equally hard in either
case, of evading or accepting the invi-
tations of DR.. Henry Acland. whose in
timacy with Ruskin and appreciation
of the p1eraphaelite schccl led him to
offer constant hospitality to the young
painter.
Once, when they were to dine with
DR.. Acland, Morris invented an illness
and sent his apologies by Burne-Jones.
Unfortunately Burne-Jones arrived
with this message when there still
wanted few minutes to dinner time
Acland, who was all kindness. in
stantly, TIC Burne-Jones infinite dis
may, put on his hat and went around
to see the sick man in his lodgings He
was found, apparently in the best of
health and spirits, sitting at dinner
with Faulkner and playing cribbage
over the meal. He had to confess recov-
cry and be led off to dinner.

THE END.
Why Do Cats Hiss.

Why does a cat hiss when angry i?
Take tiny kitten at play and make it
angry, and it will snarl in its baby fash
ion and hiss as best it can. Why2
DR.. Louis Robinson says that the
Kissing and splitting of young kittens is
probably an instructive attempt to scare
away enemies from the helpless tots by
initiating a snakes hiss
A great many creatures that live in
shallow holes have like habit of hiss
ing when annoyed or angered. The tail
of a cat seen dimly in the half light of
cave suggests a snakes tail and is
often marked in way to heighten the
resemblance.
eff, says Dr. Robinson, ''this real
ly is an instance of protective mimiery.
I think it is probable that the chief foe
guarded against was the eagle. Eagles
are very fond of cat flesh, and it has
been remarked by naturalists that these
formidable birds habitually make war
upon the smaller felidae. ST. Louis
