In the meantime there arose rumors
of an attempt to do violence to the
prisoners, and the governor was no.

The five negroes under sentence are

To Cure a Cold in One Day
Awful Crime Disclosed.

Guadalaia lara. Mex, April 3.-Fur-
Their investigation by the authorities
shows that the murder of Gonzales
Michel, one of the wealthiest merch-
ants of the state of JaliscO, who was
killed by his mistress at Tlapa, this
state, was one of the most diabollcal
crimes ever conceived and carried
into execution.
A search of the residence of Lebeata
the mistress and self-confessed slayer
OF Michel, has brought to light parts
of the mans body. In her trunk were
found the victims eye, tongue and
right hand. On being asked her mo-
tives in guarding the CHASTITY relics
she said that on account OF her fond
ness for her victim, she wished tC
preserve them as souvenirs. The
fact that she admits having mutilat
ed the body, and her GOODNESS in dis
cussing it, is leading to the belle
that she may be insane, and she viii
be examined as to her mental condi
| ton.

Mrs Seigllin was arrested forcomlng
into the Leughson's house, and an
moving the woman while her husband
was away. Her method consisted OF
telling Mrs. Leughson how her hus-
band had fiirted with her, and that
she could take him away whenever
she chose to dOit.
When the case came up for hearing
there was very large crowd i'll the
court room and several sights were
narrowly averted during the trial.
Mrs. Seigllin is not wounded so
badly but she can talk, and she has
sent another challenge to Mrs
Leughson, asking that another bat
tie be arranged soon. Mrs. Seigllir
claims that she was not given fa1
chance in the duel, and that her re

French Affront the Britons.

London, April +.-Dispatches re
ceived here from Paris reiterate the
stories of affronts to Lord Caring
ton and his suite while returning
from Lisbon after formally announc-
ing King Edwards accession to
King Charles of Portugal.
1t seems that the train ON which
the mission Travelled, conveyed Il
number of nurses returning from the
Boer army. The result, says a dis
patch TO the Exchange Telegraph
Co. from Paris. was that at every
station there were violent anti-Brit-
| ish scenes, Lord Darlington and his
suite were openly insulted, while the
nurses were greeted with loud cheers.
The situation became 80 intolerable
that the British mission finally
changed trains.

How to Carry a Gun.

There are only two directions III
which the muzzle OF gun can safely
be pointed: these are up or down,
saws Forest and Stream. A shot
fred in the air can scarcely lnlure
any one or anything, and one dis
charged into the ground is equally
harmless. Therefore, in all the dill
ferent positions which the gun as
sumes, see that it is either pointed
up or down
Some times a man will be seen who
carries his gun reversed. holding 1t
nv the muzzle while the fore end rests
on the shoulder and the stick pro-
iects behind. Happily, the practice
is not common, for it is extremely
dangerous and many men have been
killed bv carrying their guns In this
way. If a man stumbles or steps IN
a hole or catches mis- foot on rock
or falls, his gun will very likely be
thrown forward with the muzzle dl-
rectly toward his BODY anu may
easily enough be discharged
Sometimes one may see a boy OF
even man who will carry the CUR
across the back OF the neck. with one
arm over the stock and the othe'
over the barrel. sometimes with 1n'
hand resting on the muzzle. This Ii
certain to give very uncomfortaoi'
feeling to any one who happens to %
walking by the side of the person
carving his gun in this fashion AM
opposite the muzzle end \" bile tn
danger of discharge is perhaps no
great. it is unpleasant TO be walking
rlong with a gun pointed at you
neck or head.
