SHOT HIS SWEETHEART
and THEN HIMSELF

Elkton, Nd, Sept. IA shooting af-
fray which will likely prove a double
murder occurred in the Seventh cleo
tion district OF this county shortly after
midnight last night, when Robert Tay-
lOr. colored, shot his sweetheart three
times with a revolver, infiicting
wounds which will cause her death. He
then shot Hannah Scott, after which
he shot and killed himself
The shooting was caused by jeal-
ousy, Taylor claiming Mary Jones as
his sweetheart. For some time he paid
her considerable attention, but during
recent weeks a man named Walter
Scott had been coming to see her. This
caused Taylor to become very jealous,
and several different times he is al
legged to have made threats against his
opponent
Taylor kept going to see Mary Jones.
however. and several times asked her if
she would not stop Walter Scott from
coming to see her, which she positively
refused to do

HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.
The Chicago cirrs Travels Recorded
by Photographs OF Herself.


The Chicago girl that knows her
business where Is there one who
doesn't?-has an album or card case
devoted exclusively to collection OF
pictures Of the one person whom she
thinks moro Of than anybody else M
the world namely, herself. There are
several laws regulating the collection
Of a personal gallery Of this kind. In
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike; what Is equally important. no
two shall be taken In the same town.
From a glimpse at this second condl-
tion, it is obvious that the young wo-
man who has n popular collection OF
her own photographs must be some
thing OF a traveller.
In order to give added interest 10
this pursuit of herself In miniature,
each photograph is stamped In violet
ink, with the name of the town where
taken, the name Of the artist and the
date Of the sitting. There are also
margins for recording any other Incl
dents connected with the occasion
that may be considered worthy Of
note
In this way the business OF photo
graph collecting is kept on a system
attic, methodlcal basis. and the book OF
photographs becomes an abridged bio
graphical history of travels In an In
definite number of chapters. 1t Is
evident that the more pictures II con
tains the more comprehensive will be
the text, hence the ambition OF every
young woman possessed with the craze
to become a globe trotter.
There are q few standard towns that
are absolutely necessary TO the reputa
ton OF any album, such as Chicago
New York, Niagara and the prominent
intermediate points. Beyond these
the more distant and romantic the
places the greater the interest attach
ed TO these pictorial histories OF the
world as seen through a maiden's eyes

PIDelN ENGLISH.
The queer JareOn Used by the BuSi-
ness People of China.

The nondescript tongue known as
'pidgin English" is almost the only
medium of communication between
foreigners and the Chinese. and nine
tcDths OF the enormous business done
ir China between the English and the
Chinese is done through this grotesque
gibberish. Mr.. Chester Holcombe in
his "Real Chlnaman," gives two anus
ing anecdotes to show how absurd 1t
Is.
A young foreigner who called upon
two young ladies', also foreigners. was
informed by their Chinese servant
that two pScey girlo no can see.
Number one pieeey top side makee
washee, washee. Number two piecey

He meant to say that the elder of the
two was taking bath uD stairs, and
the youngest had gone out.
When King Kalakaua Of the Ha-
waiian Islands visited Shanghai, he
occupied a suit Of rooms up one flight
of stairs at the Astor House. Two
American gentlemen called to pay
their respects one morning, and, meet

was in. 81 will see" replied the land
lord, and, shouting to a Chinese serv-

LIVED A RRCLUNR
FOR FORTY YEARS
No Man Looked Upon Her
Face
Death OF a Woman Who Made a
y Strange Vow Because Lover De-
ceiVed Her and Kept 1t

Bridgeton, N j., Sept. 7.-When in
the little Baptist church at Newcomb-
town yesterday tll, form Of Rebecca
Newcomb reposed in a coffin ready for
burial It was the first time any OF her
neighbors had gazed upon her face in
two-seOre years. In all that time she
had lived the life of a rigid recluse. II
began with little love affair of forty
years ago when Rebecca Newcomb
the comely and sprightly daughter OF
one Of the most prosperous farmers IN
the county. his farm lying between
Newport and Cedarville, was wooed
and won by gay and dashing young
man from the city She gave her
whole heart to him and believed that
he was all that a maiden's heart could
desire.
The wedding day was set. and many
daintily worked garments were prepar-
ed for the event. and many details pre-
pared for the ceremony. But one day
there came an awakening. The coun-
try lass discovered that her dashing
lover was false; that he had simply
toyed with her heart and had cruelty
deceived her.
The maiden quickly put away the
dainty garments, steeled herself to the
blow and vowed that she would never
again peFmit her Ease to be seen by
man.
RIGIDLY KEPT HER VOW.
From that time to the day of her
death she lived the life Of a reciuse al
the old farmhouse. At the death CT her
parents, eighteen or twenty years ago
Rebecca and a brother were left well
provided for financially, and II became
necessary for Rebecca to visit the
county seat on business connected with
the will. This she did in the most
quiet manner, and those who saw her
only thought OF her as a stranger 1t
is claimed that was her only visit from
her home in all those years. A few
years ago She built another house on
the farmt so that her brother might
live there instead Of in the house with
her. The house has for more than a
quarter Of a century been pointed cut
as containing the woman who would
not let any one see her.

The rone of oxford UnivorsIty.

The atmosphere Of culture which per
vades every part Of the university is
the truest cause of Oxford's greatness.
Dull indeed must the student be who
is not touched and deeply Influenced
by this great force during his univers-
ity life. 1t strikes the foreigner imme-
dlately. The first evidence Of it comes
perhaps in the course of the first CON
versation in a students room, at which
he happens to be present, He will not
fail TO notice the correctness Of express
sion, and usually the vigor and fresh
ness Of thought, which are the salient
characteristics Of the conversation Of
the best oxford men. OF course there
are exceptions. There are frequent
examples of the literary dude in Ok
ford as well as anywhere else of the
man who sacrifices all pretense to sin
cerity and soundness to a momentary
and half cheap, epigrammatic bril-
liancy Of expression. But this is not
true Of the average oxford man.-Har-

ABOUT THE HANDS.

You would hardly think that the
state Of the health would affect the
hand. Yet nowhere will sickness show
itself so quickly. The flesh seems TO
shrink away and the knuckle bones be-
come pathetic. The skim too loses its
freshness and becomes pallid and dry.
or clammy. which is worse, The clam
my hand is the most uncomfortable In
the world. II can only be treated
through the system, for II is caused by
some physical defect too deep for prob
ing. There are hands whose beauty no
amount OF hard work could destroy.
and hands which are so sensitive that
the ordinary duties Of life affect them.
For such there is a deal OF protection
In the rubber gloves, which can be
bought in any size. They must be
large enough to allow full play to the
muscles and must be kept out Of hot
water or their usefulness is gone. They
can be worn in all branches Of house
work except cooking and sewing.
AS for the nails. the woman who does
not have manicure set or at least the
few implements needed for the we'll
being Of the nails is, or should be, an
exception, The number Of well kept
hands Is growing each day. II Is not a
very hard task 10 give the shape and
polish TO the prettiest part OF the hand,
and II is still easier to keep them when
once attained one Is perfectly justified
In saying that the only excuse for bad
looking nails is laziness. even II II does
sound harsh.
