prehensive enough. Speaking of
the status of the mill, during a
lucid moment, he was clear and
logical. He said: "It is the best
mill in the South, and there is
less dead capital around it. On
the first of October last, we were
free from debt. Our plans formed
then were fully warranted by ex-
listing conditions. We now owe
about $4,000 altogether. We
have at least $25O,OOO worth of
property. We need only $4,000
to tide us over; but of that $1,000
must be paid within the next few
days. The whole trouble with us
is that we are too big a thing for
our immediate financial surround
ings." Mr.. Ashe said nothing
during the conversation that in
dicated the least suspicion of con-
template1 self destruction, and
when the reporter left it was with
the impression that after a good
nights sleep, the unfortunate
man would wake up refreshed
and with much brighter view of
the situation.
Shortly before IL o'clock, Mrs.
Ashe missed her husband from
his bed. She had also lost much
sleep, not having closed her eyes
for two nights on account Of tho
distressing condition of Mr.. Ashe.
Waking up from fitfpl slum ber,
she found that Mr.. Ashe had
gone. Fearful that something
dreadful had happened, she sent
out and alarmed the neighbors, q
number Of whom promptly gath
cred at her home. A search was
instituted at once. Mrs. Ashe ex.
planned her fear that there was
no hope of finding Mr.. Ashe
alive. He had left his clothes In
the room. The searchers made a
careful examination of the prem
Ises and looked down in the well.
They let down the bucket with
out finding anything. Then two
or three of the searchers went
out to the York Cotton mills,
with the expectation Of finding
the missing man elUESr on the
road or probably in the reservoir
there. They alarmed Mr.. Z. Nj.
Grimes, Mr.. Ira Grimes and Mr..
Tilghman. all of whom returned
with the party to Mr.. Ashes
home. Mr.. q. h OLeary made
another sounding of the well and
discovered something in the
water that gave a suspicion Of the
horrible truth. Mr. j. E. Car ol
| (ToSd) went down into the ! Ill
and found that the suspii on
was a horrible fact. This wa at
about 2 O'Clock in the morning;
and the presumption was that tho
body had been in the water for
at least two hours. The removal
of the body, which had evidently
gone In feet foremost, was &C.
complished with great difficulty,
the deceased being q very heavy
man, weighing something like
295 pounds.
Mr. Ashes body showed signs Of
a few insignificant scratches and
bruises about the face and breast.
There was no evidence of a strug-
gle after he threw himself into
the we'll. The water was some
II or 10 feet deep, and from tho
fact that nothing was to be seen
on the surface at the first inves-
tigation, the presumption is that
the body first sank to the bottom
and then rose to the surface of
the water, shortly after which it
was discovered.

The Patti reception at the Press Club
was an enjoyable affair 70 everybody,
for the great singer was as gracious and
cordial as a good-natured woman could
be; but it will long be remembered by
one bright young lady especially. She
had long been a devoted admirer Of the
diva. and when her escort took her up
to be presented her idolatry paralyzed
her powers Of speech and she could
only take PATHS hand and look the
love she could not otherwise express.
When she had got safely away she
found her voice and said to the news
paper man who was her escort
@0h, I love her so much don't know
what to do.
@Well, why didn't you tell her that p
asked her escort. "That would have
been very clever
Il couldn't, said the demure young
lady. Il couldn't say word.
Well, I'll take you up again pretty
soon and help yon TO say it, said the
newspaper man, and after Nine. Patti
had had a slight breathing spell, he led
theyoung lady TO the song empress.
Nine. Patti, he said, here is little
lady who has something very important
to say TO you.
Is that SOP said the diva, turning
her bewitching eyes aud dazzling smile
on the girl. @What is it?"
The young woman managed 10 say
between gasps: ~Oh, l love you 30
muchl r and forgot the rest.
Nine. Patti laughed delightedly.
Then you must have kiss. she
said, and gave the young woman q sa-
lute Of real warmth full on the lips.
OF course the recipient Of this great
favor was rendered speechless again,
and her escort moved her to another
part Of the room without delay. And
she went home firmly convinced that
Nine. Patti vas the sweetest woman in
the world and herself the most favored
Of mortals in being kissed BY her.

There are at the present moment incon-
ceiyable myriads Of such meteors NOV
ing in this manner They are too small
and too distant for our telescopes, and
we can never see them except under
extraordinary circumstances AZ the
time we see the meteor it is usually
moving with enormous velocity, so that
it often traverses a distance Of more
than twenty miles in second of time
Such a velocity is almost impossible
near the earsh's surface. the resistance Of
the air would prevent it, Aloft in the
emptiness Of space there is no air to
resist the meteor. II may have been

thousands. perhaps for millions. OF

gins TO encounter the upper surface Of
the atmosphere with which the earth is
inclosed. To body moving with the
appalling velocity Of q meteor plunge

Even though the upper layers Of air are
excessively atteuualed yet they sud
denly check the velocity. almost a. a
rifle bullet would be checked when fired
into water. As the meteor rushes
through the atmosphere the friction Of
the air warns its surface. Gradually
it becomes red hot. then white hot. and
is finally driven or into vapor with

TEE Southern Pacific trafic de-
pertinent is doing all it can Ito en-
courage the culture Of fN@ip South
Texas. and at the 4me time Will
sndsavOr tO'creste IN increased de-
mand for the product, by Instruct
ing people in the many why's of
preparing rice for eating. 1t is
claimed that there are no less than
two hundred recipes for using rice,
and these have been compiled in
9 booklet, which will be diStribpt-
cd at the rice kitchen which the
department will conduct at the Pan
American exposition. Here a prac-
tical demonstration oEthese recipes
will be given, and the great public
will pc invited to partake\ OF the
dishes thus prepared and judge for
themselves of their palatability.
Rice is pronounced by learned per-
sons to be very nutritious and
T sasily digested, requiring but one
hour for complete digestion,
Whereas preparations of wheat, oat-
meal and other cereals require a
very much longer time HENCE rice
is az ideal food, especially for per.
s0nS OF seaentarY habits, or weak
digestive powers, aud if people are
taught to use it extensively, not
o41y will the producers be benefit
ted, by an increased demand, and
the railroad by growth of freight
traffic, but the consumers them
selves will receive the greatest
benefit of all, in adopting such an
excellent addition to their diet.
