Atlanta Journal: The escapades of
Ann odelia Diss de Bar, or Laura
Jackson, who is said to have been the
Princess Montez in Atlanta during 1881,
are being now recalled by those who
knew her while she resided here. The
Princess Montez came to Atlanta from
Florida. She secured apartments at the
Arlington Hotel and Immediately en-

BRAVE RAILROAD MAN MAY DIE.

Greenville News: The death of Thorn
as NJ. HILL, ticket agent at Greers,
is momentarily expected as a result of
pistol shot wounds received at the
hands of an unknown man in the
Greers Office Tuesday night 1t was
the boldest and most dastardly deed
that has been perpetrated in this state
in years. 1t was well planned and
criminal to the core. With two A
caliber pistols, the criminal entered
the Office and upon the agent refus-
ing to open the safe shot him down
in cold blood. Hill was shot in both
hands, in the left shoulder and in the
side. He was busy working on his
books and heard someone enter the of
flee, but thinking it was the operator
he didn't look up. In a few seconds
the man spoke, and as Mr.. Hill raised
his eyes he looked down the barrels
of two pistols held within a few feet
of his face. Cd d-n you, open up
that safe or l will shoot you" was
the demand. "I'll not do it," was the
reply from Mr.. Hill. The assailant
then shot twice, the bullets taking eff
feet in both of the agents hands. The
would-be robber again demanded the
agent to open the safe. ''I'll not do
it. / am here in the interest of the
company and l will die before 1 will
do it," This reply from Mr.. Hill
brought forth two more shots from
the assailant, one ball entering the
victims left shoulder and penetrating
the breast, the other entering his
side. The burglar then left the office,
running towards the rear of the plat
form. Mr. Hill says that the man was
white, of medium height and rather
small built dark skin; that he wore
a white handkerchief across the
middle of his face. Mr.. Hill thinks
he has seen the man in the past two
or three days, but DIDN'T know him

CAR FAMINE AT ALBANY.

Albany Herald: Within the last
several days there have been uncom-
mon sights about the freight yards,
depots and compress here. Incoming
freight trains have brought fiat cars
loaded with bales of cotton, piled high
and tied down securely with ropes.
This is a very uncommon practice, as
there is great danger of fire when
freight of a highly infiamable charact-
eris placed where live cinders from the
locomotives may reach 1t. On the ex-
posed bales of cotton coming in on
fiat cars, numerous train hands have
been placed with barrels and buckets
of water, ready to extinguish in its
incipiency any blaze that might occur.
Two or three extra hands for each
car have been thus employed. 1t is
thought that in a few days the car
famine will be relieved, as the rail-
roads are doing all in their power to
prevent further embarrassment to the
cotton interests.
The Morning News had story from
its Atlanta correspondent few days
ago to the effect that the governor
had received a letter from negro
which stated that a son of the negro
had been killed in Bibb county by a
white farmer and a constable, ana
that the two men had buried the ne
gro in the woods, and the writer of the
letter wanted to know of the governor
If there was no redress or protection
for the negro in Gergia The facts are

the negro who was killed and buried,
had attempted with a shotgun to kill
another negro on George OXlev's plan
tation, near Macon, OXley came TO
Macon and swore' out a warrant
against Clark charging him with in
tent to murder. The warrant was
given to Deputy Sheriff Hines Mil
Irons to serve. When the officer ac-
companied by Oxley, went to arrest
Clark, Clark asked who swore out the
warrant. and when informed that 1t
was OXley, the negro made a rush at
Oxley with q drawn knife. OXley shot
and killed him in self-defense. Coro-
ner Davis held an inquest, and the
verdict of the jury was that the kill
ing was entirely justifiable. None OF
the dead negro's relatives would come
to claim the body, and none of the
negroes in the neighborhood would
take charge Of il for burial. so 1t was

A PLANTER AssAssINATED.

Calvin NJ. Smith. prominent plant
err of Pickens county. with an extern
sive plantation some seventeen miles
from Pickens Court House, left home
Wednesday afternoon on horseback for
a mill four miles from his residence.
After completing his business Smith
left the mill at shutdown for home.
About o'clock Tuesday night Luther
Hendricks, passing along the mill ROAD,
when two miles from the mill, found
the dead body of Smith in the middle
of the road. Hendricks gave the alarm
and with neighbors, who responded,
took the body home. A gunshot wound
in the left side had, an examination
revealed, caused instant death. From
the nature of the wound it is surmised
that the assassin believed Smith
would return from the mill after dark.
The indications are that Smiths slayer
hid on the left hand side of the road
in thick brushes awaiting his victims
return. Smith had lived for years with
Mrs. Burton, an aged lady, whose farm
and property he managed. She look
ed upon Smith as a son, and when she
died willed him valuable farm of AIS
acres. Some of the heirs of Mrs. Bur-
ton tried to break the will and an ex
pensive litigation followed. but Smith
won. Smith was 40 years of age and
unmarried. There are suspicious, but
no actual clew to the murderer.

more than to be. To live is to be well

No mechanical contrivance can

withstanding il is a fact that a hood,
well set, in a large measure carries
away the fumes of food. The man

as to either miss or defeat the as

Metal furnishes and fabrics decay

A kitchen with neither hood nor
fireplace should at least have a trum-
pet ventilator. This is only a tin
tube with widely flaring mouth,
crooked body and narrow upper end.
1t should be set in the wall above
the range, with the faring mouth,
which curves over and downward,
against the ceiling. The narrow end
goes inside the fue, projecting just
enough TO secure a good draught.
The efficacy of this device, a make
shift at best, depends mainly upon
the size and smoothness of the far
ing mouth and the tightness of the
setting in the fue.-Chicago Record

DOORS OF THE KITCHEN.
Ry the Exercise of Care and the Adop-
tion of NenttIRtor the House
wife Can Control Them.

Odors are subtle, withal searching.
In dealing with those in the kitchen
an ounce OF prevention is worth at
least a ton OF cure. The heavy smell
Of stale grease. most clinging and
most offensive of all, comes more
than anything else from stopping or
suffering over, which a very little
care in range management prevents.
The acrid smell of burnt or scorched
things is positively painful--so much
so that cooks first lesson ought to
be that fire was given for cooking,
not burning. Leaving unwashed pots
and stewpans TO dry and simmer on
the range is fruitful source OF III
doors easily remedied. Dissolve two
pounds of washing soda in a gallon
of boiling water and keep bottle
of it handy. As you empty cooking
vessels pour in soda water an inch
deep, shake it well all around the
sides and leave until washing time.
If the pots and pans keep warm, so
much the better-the soda will do its
work more perfectly.
Onions, turnips and all the cab
NAV have their scent somewhat
abated by little care in the boiling.
The odor comes from their essential
oils. which volatilize. If the vege-
tables are prepared some hours be-
fore they are wanted and left to
soak in weak. cold water, rinsed and
put over the fire in fresh, cold wa
ter, they throw up this essential oil
largely in the form of scum. Let
them come to n boil before putting
in the salt. and skim very clean.
After the salt is in add dash of cold
water-it will throw up a second
scum, which must be removed at
once. Cook all such vegetables un-
covered. A lid strengthens the odor
tenfold and makes il more offensive.
Another preventive is bread crust,
very hard and very stale. Drop it
into the water just as it strikes
boil and let it stay ten minutes. then
skim it out. Most of the oil will
come with il; further, the spongy
crust will have kept it from vaporiz-
ing. Caulihower not quite fresh al
ways smells tremendously. The best
thing for it is n scald in weak salt
water, boiling hot, before the cold
soaking. If the heads are big cut
them into pieces so as to make sure
of removing every bit of discolored
curd.
Even when summer heat puts an
open fireplace out of commission, a
quick fire, as of straw, excelsior,
light shavings, even newspapers, will
set up a purifying draught and help
to free the kitchen of unpleasant
odors. Failing an open fireplace the
kitchen ought to have a range hood.
There are hoods and hoods-at al
most any price you choose, from the
big FURNISHED copper affairs, in the
great hotels. to the modest sheet
iron contrivance, which is an integral
part of so many among the newest
