THE MURDERER WORSE.
Defense Fund - President APP
pointed Dead Mau's Successor.

Washington, Dec 29.-The friends
of Samuel Mcdonald. of Steubenville,
o., the slayer of Auditor Frank Nor
ris, were planning to get up a de-
Tense fund for him Attorneys here
are of the opinion that the prosecu-
ton will have little difficulty in max
ing out case of murder In the first
degree, and that the insanity defense
will not hold. They believe. how
ever, that McDonald's popularity will
save his life, for juries here have the
right to fix the penalty at either
death or life Imprisonment in first
degree murder cases.
The president offered to Frederick
Rittman. of Cleveland. the position
of auditor of the treasury department,
made vacant by the murder of Nor
ris. 1t is expected he will assume
his duties on the first of January
Mr. Rittman has been engaged in the
banking business in Cleveland. He
is about so years old and stands high
in business ard social circles.
Samuel Mcdonald, who killed Nor
ris. refused TO take food Friday, but
the doctors injected nourishment. Re
sistance, however, was a great strain
on his vitality, so that his condition
was not as good as on Thursday.
His attitude is attributed to the
failure of his brother. w II. Melon
aid. hte opera singer to reach Wash
ington. Mr.. Mcdonald, who is a
member of the Bostonians, now play
ing an engagement in Denver, has
telegraphed that he cannot leave the
company at present. owing to the i'll
ness of two of its members.
Cleveland, Dec. 29.-Rittman has

Such Evidences as to Three Cadets at
West Pofnt--one Alleged to
Have Been Shamming.

West Point, " Y. Dec. 20 The
taking of testimony by the military
court of inquiry in regard to the
death of former Cadet Oscar l.. Booz
may be finished at the West Point
military academy this afternoon. Fri
days investigation brought out testi-
mony to the effect that cadets had
been hazed to degree Of exhaus-
ton. The victims mentioned partie-
ularly We're Macarthur. now out of
the corps, and Cadet Haskell
Different persons gave testimony.
Macarthur himself denied that he
had convuisions. but acknowledged
that he had been exercised to such
an extent that he had cramps in his
muscles and that he lost control of
them. Haskell IS not in the corps
now. so that his testimony was not
available
Cadet &. s. Grant told of the or
deals through which he was put as
fourth class man. He said he felt
no Ill effects from the treatment af-
terward.
Young Phil Sheridan was recalled.
He added the name of Cadet Bren-
ton to the list of those who had
tainted after exercising. He also
said that Cadet Haskell was only
shamming the night he was supposed
to have tainted.
Several of the present fourth class
men told of what forms of hazing ex-
listed during last summers encamp-
ment While there were a few cases
of men being made to stand on their
heads there was very little eXercis-
ing done. which would show that the
majority of the cadets are living up
to the class agreement last year to
abolish severe hazing methods.

ORIGIN OF THE WIG.

The first wig mentioned in history
worn by the daughter of Saul, king of
Israel The first artistic wigs were
made in the south of Italy for the
Gapiniens. who lived in Apulia, and
were known for the luXuries of their
toilet. These people were, they say
the first who painted their faces; this
they did with the juice Of strawberries.
Xenophon relates that little Cyrus,
when he visited Astyages, his grand
father, whose eyes were framed in
blue paint and who wore an enormous
wig, threw himself on his knees and
cried: 20, mother, what beautiful
grandfather l have!" The Phoenician

SINGULAR FRUIT FOR A TREE.
Chinese Product That Bears Tailow
Brought to South Carolina.

The people of China are eminently
practical, and have added much to the
civilization of mankind by their habits
of industry, of which the method of
obtaining vegetable tallow is an excel
lent example The tree producing this
tallow is called Stillingia Sebifera, ana
the words remind us of the dropping
product and its soapy nature. The Chi
nese pick the seeds of this tree in au-
tumn, and first place them in wooden
cylinder, open at the top and perforat-
ed at the bottom. After being steamed
over a fire for ten or fifteen minutes
the tallow is softened and is then more
readily separated. The seeds are trans
ferred from the steaming cylinder to q
stone mortar, in which they are gently
beaten. They are then thrown on a
sieve, heated over the fire and sifted,
by which process the tallow is separat-
ed and resembles coarse Indian meal.
In this state the tallow is put between
circles of twisted straw and these plac-
ed in press, by which the tallow IS
forced out and falls into a tub Freed
from all impurities it is then a SEMI
fluid of a beautiful white color. Candies
made OF it easily melt in hot weather
and on this account they are dipped in
melted wax of various colors-red,
green or yellow-and are exposed for
sale by tallow chambers and other
shopkeepers. This remarkable tree IS
found on the banks Of the Min, in SEE
chuen. 1t also grows near Soochow,
and has been transplanted to North
and South Carolina. It is a tree with
shining green leaves and small yellow
flowers at the end of the branches.
They are succeeded by dark eolored
seeds and vessels containing delicate
white seeds. In late autumn, on the
banks of the Tsien-tang river in Cho-
kiang, south of HangchoW. this tree is
a striking object. The leaves are then
of a blood red color instead of a light
green. When the ta11ow has been
squeezed out of the seeds the remainder
is preserved to be used as fuel or to
enrich the land-Philadelphia Record.

The Gordon Highlandefs took their
parrot to South Africa, and the Welsh
regiment was broken-hearted because
it was feared that its pet goat was to

how, in an Indian campaign, the COM

only a certain number of dogs should
