AfEUD IS RENEWED.
Howard-McGee Factions Meet in a
Tennessee Hotel.

Madlsonvlle, Tenn, Sept. l9.-The
Howard-McGee feud had a dramatic
and tragic climax Tuesday, in which
one man was killed, two others fatally
and one seriously wounded. Monroe
county. the home of the Howardsand
McGees, has been expecting this event
for two years. Tuesday at noon
Charles Jones and his brother Joshua
entered the Clew hotel dining-room,
which was filed with guests, and took
seats at a table. Amoment later Cal
vim and Tom Howard entered the room
and met the Jones brothers face to
face. In an instant revolvers were
drawn by the four men, and about 80
shots were fired in quick succession,
the terrified guests making their exit
from the room by way Of doors and
windows. When the firing ceased
Charles Jones was found dead on the
floor with two bullet wounds in his
heart and three in his head; Joshua
Jones and Calvin Howard were NOR
tally wounded and unconscious, and
Tom Howard, the only n of the quar-
tette left on his feet, had a number of
bullet wounds in his body.
Two years ago Tom Howard mar.
ried a member of the MCGEE family,
despite the strenuous opposition OF
the McGees. A few days later two
brothers of Mrs. Tom Howard went
to Toms house and, calling him to
the door, began firing upon him. Two
of Toms brothers, Ernest and viii
Howard and George Morrow, joined
in the fusillade, and all three were
shot and killed by the MeGees. That
was the beginning OF the feud, since
which time it has developed and
grown with intense bitterness. The
McGees were arrested for the kill.
Ing of Ernest and VIII Howard, anc
Morrow and their sister, Mrs. Tom
Howard, remaining true to her hus
band, testified against them. The
final trial of the McGees was set fol-
Tuesday at jacksonville, the county
seat of Monroe county, and trouble
was not unexpected. However tn,
fight with its fatal results in thu
LIew house is believed to be the con
sequence of an unexpected meeting
but no time was lost in beginning
hostilities when the men anne fac
to face. The Jones boys are broth
e~rs-in-law of the McGees, and the!
as well as the McGees and Howard
are among the best people in tn

A NATIONS RESPECT.
To Be Shown Our Heroic Dead in
the Island Possessions.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Col. William
S. Patton. Of the quartermaster's de-
partment, on duty at the war depart
ment, has completed arrangements
for the free transportation to the
United States of the remains Of soldiers
and sailors and civilians who lost their
lives and We're buried in the island pos
sessions of the United States and in
China. According to the present
plans Of the department a burial corps
viii take passage On the transport
Hancock, scheduled to leave San Fran
cisco on the LIST prox. for the Philip
pines.
At the request of the secretary Of the
navy, the same burial corps will under
take to perform similar service with
| respect to officers and enlisted men of
the navy and marine corps buried in
China and the islands of the Pacific.
The corps will be in charge of d. II.
Rhodes, inspector of national ceme-
teries, who was sent to the Philippines
in November, 1899, on a similar errand,
and performed the service to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned. When
the transport stops at Honolulu to coal
the bodies buried there will be taken
up and made part of her cargo. Similar
| action will be taken at the Island of
Guam and in the Philippines. Col. Pat
ton says that the prevailing conditions
in China will scarcely render practi-
cable any Disbursements in that coun-
try earlier than next spring. All the
remains recovered are to be given hon.
orable burial in the United States, at
| places selected by the next of kin. In
| all cases where not otherwise ordered,
| the interment will be made in the ma
| tional cemeteries, with preference for
the cemetery at the Presidio at San
Francisco and the Arlington cemetery,
near Washington.
The approximate number of remains
to be exhumed is 1881, distributed in
the following PAGES: Honolulu, 36 en-
listed men of the army, l marine;
Guam, S men of the navy; China, :
officers of the army, IS enlisted
men of the army and 81 men of the

occur usually, on persons Of a sandy
complexion, especially those with red
hair. They are not common in very
young children under 6 or 8 years Of
age, or in persons of middle or adj
vanced life. They usually come in for
the first time in summer. and are less
marked, or even disappear. in winter.
Persons who freckle do not tan. as a
rule. Freckles, like sunburn. may be
prevented by the wearing Of q veil.
preferably red or brown. Medical
books some time speak Of removing
freckles by electricity, or by touching
each one with q drop Of carbolit acid
on a glass rod, but such severe reme-
dies are worse than the disease. The
spots will fade out more or less COM
pletely in the winter, and will disap-
pear wholly in time. In any case
they are not particularly ~disfgurtng.

Won Zeppelin himself spent an enorm-
Gus sum of money in the work. and
the emperor Of Germany and several
Of the kings and princes Of Germany
aided him materially by furnishing
unlimited government facilities. Scores
Of patents were bought and their best
and most efficient ideas utilized.
The airship is an immense thing, be-
Ing almost 400 feet long-that is, as
big as an ocean steamship in length
and about 33 feet in diameter. The
body is Of aluminium, and has been
fully described in the Sunday Press
With pictures.
The huge balloon was launched from
It's floating home to a raft, which was
taken in town by a steamship and
dragged well out into the lake. Dur
ing the voyage the airship proved the
efficiency Of its %propellers by moving
the raft Independently when the tow
ing vessel had cast OFF the hawsers.
When the airship finally vas in its
proper position the ascent began ex-
~eellently we'll. much to the surprise Of
many who had prophesied that the
great craft could not possibly rise.
The German government had desig-
mated Captain Won Eigsfeld of the
Asronautical Department Of the army,
to conduct the experiments, and cap
tive balloons with thermometers and
other instruments had been raised at
various points to enable the observers
to keep exact records of the wind velo-
cities and directions during the test.
As soon as the hawsers were cast off
the ship began to rise. But at first the
stern rose a little more rapidly than
did the bow. and the bow propellers
had to be set to work. At once the
stability Of the airship was perfect,
and 1t assembled majestically, broad
side to the wind. The rudders were
set and Immediately had their effect,
for the airship turned into the wind.
There it held its position, although the
wind then was blowing at the rate Of
almost ten miles an hour. Unfortun-
% ately the crank governing the control
Ter weights broke shortly after the bal
loon had demonstrated its capacity for
