"STOP THEFT"

It is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry of
stop thief " ard SO putting the public
OIL false scent.
There is certain kind of advertiser
who is expert i'll similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it's
"revolting" to write to a man in con-
sultation about disease. Women
should write to a woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of physician. But
a close examination shows that there is
no physicians advice offered and the
whole clamor of "write to a woman I"
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman Offering advice is not a
doctor, and therefore not competent 10

John Watson and Bill Brown
both white, and SOnnie Crane, col
ored, were hanged Wednesday a
McMinnville Tenn. for murder.
Watson was convicted of hav
ing, Oh the night of December %
1898, shot his nelghbor, Hills,
from ambush, as the latter was en-
tering his own home near McMinn

But Brown with complicated in
the murder of his wife, Mary. The
tragedy took place in their cabin
at Viola, near McMinnyille, May 5,
1888. The woman was shot through
the head as she lay sleeping by
her husbands side. The couple
were known to have lived TN
happily together, and Bill Brown
was arrested. He made a confess
sion, duplicating his brother John,
and told of conspiracy between
the two to get rid of the woman.
Bill was convicted but John never
went to trial having been murder
ed in Jail by the negro Sonnie
Crane, who to-day died by Bills
side in expiation of the crime.
Crane was double murder. He
was convicted Of having helped
kill another negro in a fight over
a game of craps, and while serving
a sentence was confined in jail with
the Brown brothers. One night
John Brown was walking the floor
of his cell, while his brother lay
asleep OH his cot. Suddenly Crane
rushed at the PROSTATE man with
a bedslat raised to strike. Before
John could interfere the blow fell
and Bills skull was crushed. A
desperate fight between John and
the negro ensued, the latter rain
ing blow after blow over his anita
gonis's head with the heavy slat.
When they were finally separated
it was fund that John was fatally
and Bill dangerously hurt. The
former died IN a few hours.
The triple hanging is said to
have been the first legal execution
to take place in Warren county
since 1872.

Organization of the State Legisla
ture.

Gossip about the organization
of the Legislature that assemblies
| May IA has already begun. 1t il
said that Hon. Jared Y. Sanders
of ST. Mary, a close friend of Gov
Foster and one of the most popu
lar men in the State with the city
delegation, will have little or nc
opposition as Speaker of the House.
His election is regarded as certain
Mr.. Sanders is a Democrat, of the
free silver type, and is regarded
as one of the most promising young
politicians in the State. He has
considerable reputation as witty
stump speaker, and canvassed the
city for the "regulars" in the last
municipal election.
Robert S. Landry is the only
candidate yet spoken of for the
clerkship of the House. He is
secretary of the Democratic State
central committee, and has served
already as clerk of the House, with
which body he has been connected
in one capacity or another for over
twenty years. He is thoroughly
posted on State affairs, and espe-
cially on those affairs connected
with the legislative branch of the
government. His long service in
the House has made him acqualnt-
ed with nearly all the politicians
in the State, and it does not seem
possible that anyone could be
found who could defeat him for
the place.
For secretary of the Senate, w.
II. McClendon of Clinton, La, and
James Murphy of st. Tammany
are mentioned. Their campaigns
have not yet so far advanced as to
give anyone a line on their relative
strength.
Ulrich Burke of the first ward
is mentioned as probable appoin-
tee for the Office of city electrician.
The first ward, by the way, has
five applicants for every office the
ward has any chance of having
allotted to it, and it may be said
i'll passing that the first is not pre-.
mier in this respect. There are
others.
Mr.. Fogarty, of one of the river
precincts of the third ward, and
Coates, of the front of the
same ward, are mentioned as prob
able selections as captain of the

clerk of that institution.-Times.

The Lowest Paid Official in thu
Employ Of Our Government.

Iowa county, Wisconsin, lay:
clam to having the lowest -salaried
Official IN the employ of the United
States government. The govern
ment hires Frank Lynch for one
cent year to carry the mail be.
tween Dodgevllle, the county seat
of Iowa county, and Mineral Point,
nine miles distant.
1t Is the law that such employees
shall be paid quarterly, but Lynch,
although he has been carrying the
| mails regularly since last July, has
as yet received no quarters of a cent
or checks for those amounts. The
young mao is not looking for any
remlttances on his salary until next
July, when he expects a check for
whole cent. 1t is supposed this
will be the smallest check ever Is
sued by the government, and efforts
have already been made to secure
possession of it. The mail carrier
has received several offers of SIS
or $40 tor the check, but he has SO
far warlly avoided any entangle-
merits.
Both Do6geville and Mineral
Point have railroads, but there is
none between the two towns. The
trip from one place to the other by
rail IS SO roundabout that it is out
of the question, so passengers and
mail are drlyel across the country.
Whoever has the contract for car
frying the mail feels that he is GER
tam Of all the passenger trade, for
no one has yet had the courage to
compete for passenger business with
the United States mail carrier. For
this reason the transfer Of the mall
is deemed valuable privilege.

absence of snow generally deter
m,nes the comfort or discomfort

British Losses in South Africa.

The war department at Wash
ingtOn has prepared table show
ing the comparative losses of the
British in South Africa and the
American armies in the war with
Spain. While the loss of Ameli-
can officers and soldiers were deem
ed excessive by many military ex-
perts still the loss to the British
army is far greater proportionate-
ly, and especially is the number
of deaths from gunshot wounds
much larger in, the Transvaal than
in Cuba and the Philippines.
Twelve per cent of the American
death rate was the result of
wounds that occurred i'm battle,
while on the British side of the
slate the. percentage reaches 63A5
per cent.
The army and navy journal says
there have been many more en-
Egagemcnts and pitched battles
fought in the Transvaal than were
fought through the entire war with
Spain, but had the Spanish marks
-
men been anything hike as skillful
as the Beers we would probably
had q harder time to close the war
than was actually the case. On
the other hand the British death
rate from sickness and imperfect
c0mmisaIy arrangements is very
much lower than ours, showing
the advantage of having a we'll
trained corps Of officers at th
head of those departments
