BEST JOKE OF ALL.
II Northern Paper That Ia Kind Enough to
Lock Lentently Upon tho Error Made
In tho once OF tho News
and Courier.

The Times, Of Hartford, Conn.,,
commenting upon tho visit of the
Gridiron Club to Charleston, says:
The Gridiron Club, Washin toms
famous organization of newspaper
men, went to Charleston, S. c., on
Sunday, on special tram, to attend
Il dinner given by prominent Char
lesion mon, who, "laid themselves
out" for the occasion. OF course tho
visit was prolific in practical jokes.
The funniest of all was tho appear
ance Of Tho Nows and Courier on
Monday morning with collection of
"cuts" Of the visiting correspondents,
said cuts being drawn from the news
papers stock Of old "portraits" on
hand and each one being good joke
in itself. In some cases there was Il
faint resemblance to the correspond
ent whose name was placed under
tho picture. The Charlestanians
prepared many surprises for thoir
guests. While crossing the bay to
the Isle Of Palms a steamer was dis
covered flying the Spanish flag and
when it was fired upon and forced to
surrender it was found to be the
"Nlario Theresa" wih cargo of ro.
froshments. Tho washington chaps
were not behind with their Jokes.
When the company had gathered at
the dinner table in tho Charleston
Hotel Mayor Smythe mado On ad-
dress of welcome, to which the presi
dent of the club responded. He
then 'sked the members of the club
to rise and reminded them that they
had left q land flowing with milk and
honey for dry and arid country,
and asked them if they had come
prepared. Immediately every man
produced large and most disrepu
table looking black bottle, and from
this the health and prosperity of the
City of Charleston was drunk, in hu-
morous defiance of the dispensary
laws of the State. Senator Depew
and other "jolly old boys" wore with
the party and it was memorable
journey for all concerned.

WHITE MAN LYNCHED
AT NEWPORT NEWS.
WAS A GAMBLER WHO ASSAULTED
HIS BENEFACTOR.
w. w. Watts Victim OF Mob-Snid to he
VOL Connected In Virginia-WaB
Shot to Death, Lynchers
Having no Rope.

Newport News, Va, January g.
Tho death Of VIM. w. Watts at the
hands Of q mob between the hours Of
and S o'clock this morning marks
the first sitting Of Judge Lynch in
Newport News. His taking off also
slgnallzes the initial execution, le.
gally or otherwise, of q white man
for rape in Virginia.
The crime that invoked mob ven
goance was peculiarly atrocious, be-
ing blackened by the basest ingrati-
tude. The victim of the wretch
upon whom justice was so speedily
visited was the benefactress of her
assailant, having fed him, stranger,
at her door, when he first appeared,
begging for charity, three weeks ago,
after reaching here penniless from
Lynchburg, where his father is a
policeman. Watts was 28 years old,
unmarried, q professional ganbler
and comes of respectable family,
with extensive relationship through
out the State
Yesterday afternoon he visited the
house of Mrs. Thomas Nj. Simpson,
who had befriended him when he
was in destitute circumstances, tell
ing the lady he was about to leave
the city and stating that he desired
to thank her before going away.
Watts had made a stake at his call
ing during his sojourn here and Mrs.
Simpson failed to recognize in the
we'll dressed man the miserable men
dicant upon whom she had bestowed
aims three weeks before. Her inter
est in the man being awakened, she
conversed with him for q few min
utes at the door, when she retired
into the hallway he followed her,
seized her by the throat, forced her
into the sitting room and overpow-
cred her after desperate struggle.
Watts was captured on board the
special train of @. P. Huntington
when it was leaving the city for Rich
mondyesterday afternoon, and lodged
in jail.
Three masked men entered the
station house at 4 o'clock this morn
ing and forced the jailer, at the point
of pistols, to surrender the keys.
-Four companions of the mon re
ceived Watts when lie was carried
out and hurried away, first to the
house Of Mrs. Simpson, who identi-
fed him, and then to the outskirts of
tht c'tv, where mob of several hun.
dred mon were congregated. He
was bound by the wrists to a sapling.
His body was riddled with bullets
1t had been intended to hang the
man, but the only rope with which
the party was provided proved too
short to 60 over any convenient limb.
The rope with which the body of
the victim was bound was cut up
and distributed among the on-look-
ers.
The identity of the lynchers is a
mystery, and there is little prospect
of any one connected with the affair
being detected. The police are MAX
ing the usual inquiry into tho case.

GERMAN WRATH AROUSED.
SEIZURE OF GERMAN STEAMERS PU rs
BERLIN IN A FERMENT.
Tho Government T'ries to Keep Cool and
to Conduct It's Protests III u Peaceful
Manner, but tho Government as we'll
aa the People Regard tho Sciz
ures Of German Mail Steamers
by British Ccuiscrs Rs Un-
Justified,

Berlin, Jan. 1.-The excitement
accustomed by the seizures Of German
mail steamers by British cruisers in
creases and overtops everything else.
Even the opening Of the Prussian
Diet on the coming Tuesday is
dwarfed thereby. In spite of the
strongest current Of popular Anti
British sentiment the German Gov
ernment still honestly tries to con-
tinue it's course of loyal neutrality,
but anxiously awaits favorable Brit
ish action regarding the seizures,
which the Government and nation
both regard as unjustifed. The
Government has ascertained, without
a shadow of doubt, that tho Bundes-
rath was seized on strictly neutral
territory within radius belonging,
by international law, to the Portu-
guese colony. Thereby the action of
the British cruiser Maglcienne was
clearly wrong, as here confronted.
The news that Great Britain has re-
leased the steamer General, seized
at Alden, is hero construed as Great
Britain backing down. In official
circles today the hope was expressed
to a representative of the Associated
Press that Great Britain will admit
that she is wrong after detailed and
comprehensive proofs are submitted
to London. Part Of these proofs arc
the bills Of laden of the Bundesrath,
the General and Hersog, showing
that the German East African Line
was most particular to exclude all
chances Of their vessels containing
contraband. The Bundesrath is
shown to have had on board forty
two passengers for Delagoa Bay,
comprising twelve Portuguese, of
whom several were Government off
cials; two former Austrian and one
former German army officer. The
rest were civilians. This line is sub
sidized by Germany to the amount
of 100000 marks annually.
The action of the Colonial Society
in further inhaming public opinion
is condemned by a largo part of the
press.
A fact interesting to note is that
Chaplain Fry, of the English Church,
in Berlin; British Ambassador Sir
Frank @. Lascolles and committee
now call iur subscriptions for the
sick and wounded in South Africa.
"A concert is to be given January 8,
the proceeds to 60 towards the funi:s.
The German Red Cross Society at
the beginning of the war offered
aid to the British wounded, but the
profferred assistance was rejected.
NO sHRAPNELs FOR ENGLAND.
Berlin, January G.-The corres-
pondent of the Associated Press had
IN interview tonight with a high Of
llcial, who said that the international
questions involved in the seizure of
German vessels by British naval COM
manders are 30 complicated and 30
dimly defined that an agreement be-
tween England and Germany will
. necessarily be slow.
"At any rate" he continued, 1--WE
must first wait the sentence of the
Prize Court before we object thereto.
-, The AssocIated Press correspond
ent learns reliably tonight that the
German Government will forbid the
export by the Krupps of steel shrap-
:nels for England.

FEEDING IN WINTER.
SteaminR and Cooking Coarse Fodder
for Cows Ii = Practice That
Pays Well.

In feeding cornstalks the dairy COWS
show that they relish them much bet
ter than when fed dry and hard. There
is improvement in the actual nourish-
ing qualities # the stalks by cooking
them, for the process does not add any
thing to them, but the fact that the
fodder is made more palatable to the
animals is sufficient excuse for one
adopting this course. Dry, hard corn
stalks are not really pleasant food to
COWS, and many will eat them only
when forced to it from hunger. But
it the stalks are taken and cut up into
small lengths, and then cooked or
steamed and fed to the animals warm,
they have an odor that is refreshing.
Cows will eat the mush thus made
greedily. If one has steam on the farm
the fodder stalks can be cooked with
the steam much quicker than by any
other method. If we add little grain
to this cooked mush the cows will eat
far more than when fed any other way.
In feeding the stalks in this way the
grain food should not be cut down, as
some are inclined to do, for, as said be-
fore, nothing is added to the stalks by
cooking them.
I believe that all good dairy cows re-
spond quickly to good feeding, and little
improvements in the method of prepar-
ing their food. In cold weather they
show the effect of warm feeding imme-
diately. It stands to reason that they
feel better when they have warm food
to take into their stomach, just as much
as man. BY tempting them in this
way we undoubtedly increase the flow
of milk. Anything that freshens the
appetite and make the food more pal
atable is very apt to affect the milk
flow favorably. The work of steaming
or cooking the fodder adds quite mate
rally to the dairyman's labors, but if
it can be done once or twice a week it
will help to improve the milk supply.
Poultry raisers see to it that their birds
have warm food once day through
the winter, and it may be that dairy
men can find in it a lesson for them.
They all agree that warm food agrees
with the hens laying eggs. and greatly
helps in increasing the supply of this
product.-E. P. Smith, in American Cul
tivator.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

It doubtless pays well to invest in
some of the devices which keep the
water so that each cow can help her
self when she wants it. Milk is near
ly all water, anyhow.
All cattle feel the pinch of cold IN
winter, and unless additional feed and
good, comfortable quarters are given
them they will fall off rapidly in con-
dition and will be Improbable al
winter.
Make your stable floors and cutters
water tight and use absorbents, or
conduct the liquid manure to a cistern
in the barnyard, where it can be
pumped out and sprayed on the mead
Ows.
Charcoal is a good absorber of gases
in the milk room where foul gases
are present. It should be freshly
powdered and kept there continually,
especially in hot weather, when un-
wholesome odors are most liable to
infect the milk.-Farm Journal.

PRACTICAL HEAT MOTOR.
When Set Over q Lamp 1t Will De-
velOp Enough Power to Drive
Toy Machinery.

Here are instructions for making the
simplest form of heat motor that can
be devised. Set over lamp, or stove,
or furnace register, so as to get the
benefit of a strong upward current of
rising hot air, it will develop power
enough to run toy machinery, says the
New York Press. You might make a
motor of this sort that would run a
small electric generator, but it would
have to be larger and stronger than the
one here shown. Stiff cardboard, wire
heavy enough not to bend too easily,
spool, glue and some pieces of wood
are needed.
On the cardboard, with pair of COM
passes, lay out four circles, seven
inches, 61a inches, 1H inches, and an
inch in diameter, making the centers
the circles. Cut the cardboard along
the outer circle, SO that you will have
a disc seven inches in diameter. Lay
it off into eight equal parts, marked A,
in Fig. 1, by drawing four lines across
the disc so that they will bisect one
another at equal angles in the center
Next, with sharp knife, cut through
the cardboard on the six inch and 1h-
inch circles, as indicated by solid lines
in Fig. 1. Also cut between the circles
on the solid division lines marked c.
You will then have made the blades
of the motor. Bend the blades along
the dotted lines marked B, or at an
angle of about As degrees from the re-
mainder of the cardboard, so that the

ELOPES WITH MOTHER.1N-LAW
Queer Couple Which Has Arrived at
New York City-Wifc of Four
teen Deserted.

John Bale has come over seas to kill
tradition. He eloped with his moth
er-in-law. They are detained at the
barge Office at New York city. Bale,
a strapping fellow of IS years, is a
baker and comes from Tarmowitz,
Posen. He married girl of IA. Her
mother, Mrs. Sophia Brussig, who
made the match, lived with the young
folks. She is nearly 50 years old and
has the air of one born to command.
Bale tired of his child wife and with
the mother7in-law set out for Ameri-
ca. They arrived here on the St.
Louis, and the difference in their ages
attracted the attention of the immi-
grafton officials.
The two were detained for examina-
tion and then Bale told all he knew.
He said he loved his mother-in-law
and could not live without her. They
will be sent back to Posen.

GIRDLING GRAPEVINE,

Tools used by the New York state sta
tion in girdling grapevines, and appear

ting back new growth on ringed arms
gave the fruit better quality. The effect
of ringing devitalizes somewhat, but
judiciously practiced even the cumula-
tive effects on strong-growing kinds
need not be disastrous.
Growers have found that the best re-
suits are obtained by doing the work
when the grapes are about one-third
grown, the exact time depending on
the season and variety. The operation
may be performed with a knife, but,
where ringing is extensively engaged
in a tool designed for the purpose is
used.
The accompanying figure IS ex-
planned below the cut itself.
The same station explains the reason
of the effects on the fruit, as follows:
The food materials taken in by the
roots pass up through the outer layers
of wood to the green parts of the plant.
Here new material for growth is
formed and the portion that is not
needed by the leaves and other green
parts passes downward, for the most
part through the inner bark, to be dis
tributed wherever it is needed. The
wood is not disturbed in the process of
ringing, therefore the upward move
ment of the solutions is not interfered
with; but since the downward passage
takes place through the inner bark the
flow is arrested when it arrives at the
point where the bark has been removed.
Consequently the parts of the plant
that are above the point where the ring
of bark has been removed receive more
than a normal supply of food, which
tends to produce increase in size and
earlier ripening of the fruit. - Ohio

JOCKO WAS FORGIVEN.
How a Monkeys Playfulness Saved
His Masters Life and Made
Him a Great Hero.

A German merchant, who had long
done business in the island of Java,
at length made up his mind to wind
up his business affairs and return to
his old home in Hamburg. It took
him whole year to get ready, but
the time finally came when he was
free. He intended to go home by a
certain steamer and to take with him
a large amount of money and to ship
quantity of valuable goods.
The merchant telegraphed to Ba-
tavia to find just what day the steam
er would arrive at his port, and his
telegram was replied to-, but when
it was delivered at his Office he was
out, and it was laid on his desk. He
had for years owned a. pet monkey,
and though the animal had never de-
stroyed paper before on this occa-
sion he actually ate the telegram up.
He was chained up and promised a
whipping, and the merchant sent off
another telegram. A storm had
broken the wires, however, and it did
not get through for day or two.
It was then too late. The steamer

hot air as it rises can get purchase
on the blades.
When you have gone that far make
the hub and other parts of the little
machine. The hub should be round
piece of wood an inch in diameter and
half an inch high. Mount it on piece
Of wire, as shown in Fig. 2. Next cut
the cardboard disc, inside the one-inch
circle, along the solid lines marked D,
in Fig. 1, so as to make an opening fo1
the hub. You will then have eight lit.
tie flaps. Bend them back, so as to
make an aperture for the hub. Fit the
cardboard wheel on to the hub and
glue the flaps firmly to the sides there
of. Next mount spool, in which you
have cut deep groove to make it'serve
as band wheel on the wire shaft, and
the motor proper is complete. The
style of stand or mount to be made will
vary according to circumstances. If
you purpose operating a motor with
hot air from lamp, the form shown
in Fig. 3 will be satisfactory. It con-
sists of a crosspiece supported by four
legs, the whole being made like saw
horse. The wire shaft passes through
the crosspiece, the spool band
wheel or driving pulley on the shaft
is above the crosspiece and the motor
wheel is suspended below. The length
of the legs will depend, of course, on
the height of the lamp. They should
be long enough to lift the motor wheel
sufficiently to prevent its charring and
taking fire from the heat. The stand
shown in the drawing is of wire and the
lower end Of the shaft is supported by
a triangular piece of tin held up by
three short pieces of wire.
