SUICIDES
Chas. Zichfield Shoots a Bull
let Into His Brain

Last evening about 2 quarter past
eight clock Chas. Zichfield. the King
street baker. fired Al calibre bullet
into his brain, which will result in his
death.
Zichfield came homo last evening and
had hardly closed tho door when Miss
Cavanaugh Ieard shot in the kitchen
Fearing that Zichfield had shot himself
she sent word to Deputy Sheriff Knob
lock.
On arriving at the bakery Mr.. Knob
lock found Zichtield lying on lounge
with the blood flowing from wound
just over the right ear. On his breast lay
4l-calibre "bull dog" revolver with 3
chambers discharged. The man was
breathing heavily and a doctor was sent
for. DIR. johnson was soon on the scene
and pronounced the case hopeless. The
bullet made horrible wound in the
head and lodged in the brain.
DOMESTIC TROUBLES.
Zichtield and his wife have been in a
mess of domestic trouble for ,me days
past, and she left him several days ago.
He seemed to brood over the affair and
only few Gays ago the Sheriff took
the pistol he killed himself with away
from him as he threatened to use it on
his wife. Yesterday he asked for the
pistol, as he said he wanted to return
it to the party he borrowed it from.
The pistol was given him and he stated
to the Sheriff that there would be no
! trouble as he was through with the
woman. Z;chfeld lately advertised
that he would no longer be responsible
, for his wife's debts and the separation
seemed to annoy him.
When his wife left him she went to a
friend S home, Mrs. Seaman, who lives
in the Mede. house. and he made sew
eral attempts to see her.
SHOOTS AT HIS WIFE.
A few minutes before o'clock last
evening Mrs. Zichtield was sitting in a
rocking chair near a window when shot
was fired through the glass. The ball
passed just back of her and lodged in the
floor. Although no one saw Zchfield
fire the shot everything points to him as
being the party.
He evidently thought the game was up
fer a few minutes later he shot himself.
Zichfield had suicide in his mind all
Of yesterday, as early in the morning
he called at Ed. Walsh's store and squar

ternoon went home to sleep off the effect.
of the liquor. In the evening he contin.
ued drinking and at the time of tn.
shooting was far frem sober.
1t is stated that Mrs. Zichfield is con
tract wife and that Zchteld served
term in the penitentiary over her. II
married her without securing divorce
from his first wife and was sent to priso1
from Washoe county. After his releas
from prison the present wife continues
to live with him.
Everything seemed to be runnin,

A story of Amos Cummings.

One summer a number of years age
Amos Cummings passed two weeks
on a pilot boat and took Ernest Jar
rold, the author of mickey Finn
Idylls," with him for company. One
day a great storm arose, and the pilot
boat was tossed about on the waves
like a chip. Every minute wave
would dash over the deck and threaten
to carry everything away and swamp
the boat Cummings and Jarrold were
in the little cabin, the former lying
in bunk intently reading book on
the French revolution. Jarrold poked
his head out to look at the storm,
when mountain of sea water fell
with boom on the deck and filed his
eyes with spray. The boat gave
fearful lurch and careened until II
seemed that she must turn completely
over.
"This is awful, Amos" said Jarrold.
'Tm going to put on life preserver,
for I don't think the boat can stand
it many minutes longer"
"Oh, keep quiet, and let me read,
Mickey" said Cummings, never lifting
his eyes from the page. "The men
on this boat draw a regular salary to
keep her afoat. "-Saturday Evening

As a train was approaching a town
on the Great Northern railway in Ire
land an intelligent looking young Irish
man observed a lady Standing up
searching her pocket. She commenced
to weep. Have you been robbedY
he asked.
"Oh, no." she replied; ''I've lost my
ticket, and they will accuse me Of
fraud"
Seeing her distressed state of mind,
he said:
"Oh, don't mind. Here, take my tick
et and l will give the guard prob
lem," while their fellow passengers
awaited the scene at the station with
interest.
When the train stopped, the guard
collected all the tickets but. one.
where is your ticket?" he asked the
young man.
"You have got my ticket" he replied.
mo, have not got 1t. I'll call the
station master and see about it."

station master when he appeared.
HE has my ticket. See If he has a
ticket in his hand with small piece

"Yes, you have, Dave. There it is"
well, see will that fit it?" said Pat,
handing him the small piece, and it
did. A look Of surprise crept over the
guards face as he left the carriage,
while Pat caused much amusement by
exclaiming. "Begorra, 1 knew he could
not solve itr'-London Tit-Bits.

The New Stone Ballasted 100 Pound Steel
Rail Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
to Atlantic City.
The Pennsylvania Railroads double
track line, laid with 1oo-pound steel rails,
has been completely ballasted with stone
during the past winter. This line is now
one of the finest examples of high-grade
railroad track in this country. 1t is not
only as substantial as the best portions of
the Main Line, but as free from dust A
new system of automatic block signals, in
surfing perfect safety of operation, has also
been introduced. To these material inn
provements will shortly be added a num-
Der of new and powerful locomotives,
which insure high rate of speed and a
prompt performance of the fast schedules.
These new locomotives will be run to and
from both Broad Street Station and Mar
ket Street Wharf.
The summer time table will be the most
complete and most suitably adapted to the
requirements of all kinds of travellers ever
offered to the public by the management
of this popular line.
Under the present schedule, fast express
trains leave Broad Street Station for At

A ElYfnG Star.

On a summer evening you may see
Arcturus high up in the south or south
west In June or July and farther down
in the west in August or September.
You will know it by its red color. That
star has been flying straight ahead
ever since astronomers began to OBJ
serve it at such speed that it would
run from New York to Chicago in a
small fraction of minute. You would
have to be spry to rise from your
chair, put on your hat and overcoat
and gloves and go out on the street
while it was crossing the Atlantic
ocean from New York to Liverpool.
And yet If you should watch that star
all your life, and live as long as Me
thuselah, you would not be able to
see that it moved at all. The journey
that it would make In a thousand years
would be as nothing alongside it's dis
tance.-Professor Simon Newcomb In

Utter Failure of a Costly Experiment

Utter Failure of a Costly Experiment
to Make Spiders Weave SILK.
AS long ago as the beginning of the
eighteenth century the idea of using
the thread that the spider spins from
its body as substitute for the thread
unwrapped from the cocoon of the silk
worm was preached, but with little
practical result. An Englishman. Mr..
Rolf, Secured 10000 feet of silk thread
from % spiders in two hours.
OF late some experiments have been
conducted by curious persons to ascer-
tain which spider produced the best
and largest quantity of silk, for it has
been demonstrated that it is an excel
lent substitute for that of the silk
worm. Spiders from Paraguay and
Argentina, from India, China and Aus
tralia, were tried but the best results
were secured from the spiders of Mad
agascar.
1t was found that after laying her
eggs the female spider spins most free
ly. Six of these were selected and con-
fined for the test. From one 1000
yards Of thread were secured in ten
DAYS; from the second, 1850 yards in
seven days; from the third and fourth,
45O yards in four days; from the fifth,
1,4OO yards in II days, and from the
sixth, 1920 yards in 81 days.
A German manufacturer was SO de-
lighted with this test that he made
elaborate arrangements for having a
snifer silk mill imnOrting q large num-
Der of the spiders from Madagascar
to Germany. All went well uatil the
females had laid their eggs and be-
gun to spin, when all at once the males
were found to have disappeared. Their
larger feminine companions had grown
so fond of them that each female spi-
der had eaten her mate. This catas-
trophe ended the costly experiment.

SETTING TIRES.
The Old Way of Shrinking Them on
and the Modern Way.

The Old Way of Shrinking Them ON
and the Modern Way.
The old way of putting a tire on a
wheel was to shrink it on. The tire
was made just tride smaller than the
wheel and then heated, with the result
of expanding it slightly. When thus
heated it was crowded down over the
rim Of the wheel and then cooled with
water to keep it from burning the
wheel and also to contract it. Cool
ing, it was shrunk on to bind the wheel
tightly. The modern way Of putting a
tire on a wheel is with a hydraulic
tire setting press.
By this method the tire is made just
a trife larger than the wheel, so that
it will go over the rim freely The
bed of this press, upon which the
wheel lies horizontally, with an open
ing at the center for the hub, is COM
posed of Is sections, radiating from
the center and In shape like the spaces
between the spokes of wheel. The
outer end of each section is turned up
ward, the turned up ends making a
continuous fange, or collar, all around
the bed of the press Each one of the
sections has under it hydraulic cylin-
der, and the sections are all arranged
to work to a common center. In use
the wheel is laid on the press with the
cold tire around it within that turned
up collar, or flange, around the edge.
When the press is set in operation, the
collar or 1ange, is irresistibly contract
ed. When it comes in contact with the
tire around the wheel, it does not bring
up against it, but keeps on contracting
just the same, now contracting the
tire as well and setting it upon the
wheel, the pressure being continued
until the wheel itself has been brought
to the requisite degree of dishing.-

William M. Tweed was portly man
of medium size, with long, pendulous
nose, little porcine eyes, fat, dropping
cheeks and straight, firm mouth that
was decidedly his best feature. The
outlines of his face were those of a
Bartlett pear, little end upward, and /
never saw craft SO palpably written
upon a human countenance. Mast
used to be fond of drawing Tweed's
face, by the way as sack of money.
The general contour of his head lent
itself to the outlines of the sack, and
he used 5 marks for the nose and eyes.
Strange to say, it was capital por-
trait.
Another of Nast's trick pictures was
one of Roscoe Conkling. He would
draw large letter V, with smaller V
inside it and surmount the pair with
an Interrogation mark upside down.
The big V represented Conkling's point
ed beard, the smaller one his sharp
nose and the Interrogation point the
Hyperion curl which he always allowed
to fall negligently upon his forehead.
That caricature made the naughty SEN
ator wild and exasperated him more
than any bit of fun that was ever poked
in his direction.-New Orleans Times

To prove at what date the first UNI
brella was made is a seemingly hope
less task, but we find records of their
use among the Greeks and Romans
not alone as a protection from sun or

reign they had become quite common
simply as a protection, but they were
