Harris, man seycnty-ninc years Of age,
who formerly resided, in Ruthcrfordton
and knew the Bctchlcr family well,
went to the penitcntiary to examine the
manufacture of brick, which is carried
on inside the stockadc. While in the
yard he saw tall white man at work
and inquired who he was and was told
that it was "Chris" Bctchler. Colonel
Harris then asked and was allowed to
talk with the prisoner. He stated to
Colonel Harris the facts herein stated
as to his Identification as "Chris.'
Bctchlcr and asked Harris il he knew
Bctchlcr. Harris replied that he had
known all the family for fifteen years
before the war and while they lived in
RuthcrfordtOn. He was then asked if
he, the prisoner, was "Chris" Bctchlcr,
and Harris unhcsitating'y declared that
the prisoner was not Bctchlcr.
A lawyer was then employed and
| another write Of habcas corpus was
issued by Justice Montgomery and the
prisoner was brought before him. Cap.
tain Fleming sworc that he believed the
prisoner to be Chris BetChlcr and
that he had known him as prisoner in
the pcnitentary for the two years he
was in the pcuitcntiary. That he had
! cs :apcd and remained at large until 1893,
! when he was arrested at AshcbOrO and
returned to the prison, and that the re-
scmblancc Of the prisoner to Bctchlcr
was very striking. Colonel Harris was
put on the witness stand and told Of the
young boy "Chris Bctchlcr he had
known before the war for fifteen years
how he had seen him grow up to be Il
man, and that he knew him perfectly
| well and could not be mistaken, and the
prisoner before the court was not
"ChriS - Bctchlcr: and that since he had
seen the prisoner in the pcnitcntary he
had thought the matter over and had
talked with his wife about the case, and
there was a test that would certainly
show whether the prisoner was BctChlcr.
Harris then asked the prisoner to en-
hibit his right leg above the ankle for
examination The prisoner complied
with this request and Harris made al
examination and said that tho prisoner
was not "Chris' Bctchlcr because
Bctchlcr had the scars Of bad dog bite
on his right leg which he received when
he was not over ten years old, and that
Harris had killed the dog. On this
evidence, Justice Montgomery dis
charged the prisoner from further i'm
prisOnmcnt.
The attorney Of Johnstone is now
awaiting a decision of the supreme court
in another case as to whether the States
prison is such corporation az can be
sued If this decision is TO the effcc!
that the States prison can be sued the
attorney Of Johnstonc intends to sue for
a large sum in damages for the false inn
prisOnmcnt.

Among the curioSlics Of criminal
law brought TO light by the discussion Of
the Cudahy kidnapping case is The fact
That in Tennessee the punishment for
stealing a horse is imprisonment for not
less than three nor more than ten years,
while FOR stealing Il child it is only from
one 10 five years. A bill has been in
troduccd in the Legislature to correct
this by making kidnapping crime
punishable by death
The Vermont system Of not hanging
a convicted murderer until two years
after the passing Of the death sentence
upon him is founded on the assumption
that any possible doubt as to his guilt
will be removed in that time, and all
danger OF putting an innocent man to
death Is thus eliminated.

suddenly awoke to the fact that some.
thing was wrong. 1t was like waking
up from a nap in church.

blue, gray, tan, white and old rose, as
well as green, especially reseda, navy

very thin percaline lining, says the
Ladies' Home Journal. Stitched
bands are fancied on flannel shirt
waists, or the tiniest of tucks. and the
coat sleeve is preferred. Silk shirt
waists are mass of tucks or fine
featherbone cording in lengthwise eff
fects, and are made of plain taffeta in
dark or very light colors. Helnstitched
tucks appear on light shirt waists, but
these are always of one material.

them and the trimmed evening models

Chicken BouiIIon.

AS one course of a luncheon or for
light refreshment nothing is more
generally satisfactory than chicken
bouillon served with whipped cream
TO make it put three or four pound
chicken into quart of cold wafer
with stalk of celery, a slice of
onion, and sprig of parsley. Set on
the back of the range and let it come
slowly to a simmer. Cook SLOWLY for
half day, skimming it often. Then
strain it into saucepan or SCUM
Kettle, season with salt and pepper
and add the white of one egg that has
peen beaten with one-half cupful of
cold water. Wash the eggshell and
add that. but do not allow anv of tbe
yolk to get in it, as it will make the
bouillon cloudy. Let the soup boil
rapidly for ten minutes and then turn
inone cupful of cold water and boil for
I'VE minutes longer. Remove from
the fire and strain through a flannel
cloth. Salt to taste and color with
one-half teaspoonful of caramel m
every quart of the boullion. Serve in
cups with whipped cream.

At midday hundreds of hungry
children again troop to the center, and
are provided on the nomination of
their school teacher with a plain
wholesome meal, varying from soup
or stew to a meat pudding. The cost
is from a penny to 3-halfpence per
head. In Southwark alone last year
no fewer than 23130 breakfasts and
93,361 dinners were so distributed.
In other districts the work of dis
tribution is carried on with equal
vigor and success. st. Johns, West
minister, supplies half-pepny dinners
to children of "out-of-works;" while
at st. Michael's, in the Tower Hamlets
division, there are also half-penny din
ners, the bill of fare comprising ba-
sin of nourishing soup and a thick
slice of bread and jam.
Before Christmas is here thousands
of pounds will have been collected by
the different agencies intrusted with
the work, and by this means Londons
slum children will be saved from the
pangs of hunger.

Georgia Woman Derives Handsome
Income From Making Sweets.

One of the most successful women
in Georgia made a clear profit OF Sz,-
900 last year from her manufacture or
old-fashioned Georgia sirup, besides
raising corn, fodder and pea vine nay
sufficient to run her farm for another
twelve months Her success she as
cribes to the fact that she followed
her mothers advice to do we'll what
ever she undertook and to demand for
her product what it was worth. In a
recent interview she said:
Il determined to make perfectly an
article of food that others had ceased
to consider worth making better than
was demanded by the general trade.
think that the temptation to become
careless because others who are less
careful succeed as well or better is
the great stumbling block in the path
of beginners in any line of trade. Be

ENGLAND TO HAVE WARM CARS.
Small Storage to be Placed in Railway
Coaches.

Americans who are so accustomed
heated to uncomfortable degrees with
steam from the engine, and to whom
the inoandescent light in the coach
is an old story, will smile at this eff
fort at railway heating told with unc-
ton in the London Mail:
The old-fashioned railway carriage
footwarmer is doomed.
A year hence people will no longer
tap their feet on the fiat iron pan in
a vain attempt to secure comforting
heat
For an inventor has patented an in
genious scheme for heating railway
carriages by electricity. Already
many coaches have dynamos attached
10 the axle for generating electricity
for lighting purposes.
When these dynamos are not required
for the production of electric light the
current will be accumulated in stor-
age batteries on the train. This new
contrivance for utilizing this electric
ity to heat water has been devised by
Mr.. A. r. Leask of London.
His device consists of number of
porcelain rings, around which "a thin
platinoid wire is wrapped. The cur
rent passes by an ordinary light at
tachment to this continuance after ii
is submerged in water. and the heat
thrown out suffices to boil water in a
few minutes.
Hot-water tanks will be attached to
each carriage, from which the heat
will be diffused by means of copper
pipes.

ments with this new heater. and Mr..
t. X. Bells, who is bringing out the
patent, told Daily Mail representa-.
tive yesterday that he expected ii
would soon be in general use.
But the heater will be employed in
many other ways by doctors and den
lists, by hotels. steamship companies,
and hospitals, while the man who
shaves in a hurry will use it.
For it is affixed in a simple manner
by removing the electric globe and
attaching in the same way. The price
Will be los. Cd, and it is estimated
that it will cost one-eightieth of a
