SUBLIME HEROISM.
ConSecrated Women Leave San
Francisco to Spend Remainder
of Their Lives.

Let pessimists who never tire of la
menting the degeneracy of the times
consider this: Several Franciscan sis
tiers will soon leave for Molokai, one of
the Hawaiian islands inhabited only
by lepers. In all probability, after
reaching the island they will never
leave it. The remainder of their days
will be spent in ministering to the
spiritual and physical needs of the
lepers. Unless they soon fall victim
to some other disease leprosy, that foul
and fatal malady that kills by inches,
will claim every one of them.
Such heroism is greater than that
which prompts one to brave danger
from smallpox or yellow fever or bu-
bonic plague or pistol or knife or cy-
clone for the sake of another. If it be
not too great sacrifice it is sublime.
And the Leader, which is not parti-
san as to religious denominations,
would like to call the attention of
those Protestants who are won't to de-
nounce the Catholics to the fact that
these women belong to the church of
Rome. No other denomination can
show more thoroughly consecrated
women than these.-Cuthbert Leader.

Other at rlidnight.

E. FL. Burger and wife, who live near
Buena Vista, N. c., were tried before
a magistrate in AsheYille the other
day charged with assaulting each 9TH

The case is most mysterious one
from their statements, and, the attend
ant circumstances.
1t appears that the pair were sleep
ing in the same bed, awoke at mid
night and began shooting at each
other.
Burger was wounded in the head
and shoulder.
Neighbors coming in found the pair
on the best of terms.
The daughter gave the alarm, say
ing that her mother had shot her
father.
The wife was held in $500 bail. The

WANTS A HUSBAND.


There is comely widow in Newburg,
Ind. who desires a husband. 1t is well
enough, however, for prospective can
didates for her hand to be told that
she has already had eight husbands,
all of whom are dead. Two of her hus-
bands died natural deaths within
year after their marriage, three OF
them obtained divorces within one to
two wears, because they could not live
in peace with the woman, aud later
died naturally, and three others com
-mitted suicide. The three suicides
each chose jumping into clstern as
their means of exit Last week when
she had buried No. s the widow inti-
mated that she might try the venture
of matrimony again if the right man
came along.

LOBSTER 100000 YEARS OLD.
Dug Up From a Depth of liz Feet
i'm the Earth.

The most remarkable story OF sus-
pended animation on record comes
from Easton, Md, where Wellmaker
John H. K. Shannahan 10 boring wells
for the Eastern Water Company.
From a depth of LIS feet a ball Of
clay was brought to the surface which,
when exposed to the sun, showed
signs of life, and proved to be live
and somewhat ferocious lobster, It's
legs and claws gradually uncoiling.
This curious live specimen is now in
the Pennsylvania University Museum,
where it has been sent by Col. Charles
A. Chippley.
Several sharks teeth were dug up
at the same time, and Mr.. Shannahan
has unearthed many strange things
from the peninsula, which is OF alluvi-
al formation.
While such men as Prof. w. r
Brooks of John Hopkins have hesitat-
ed as vet to express opinion as to this
discovery, the stratum in which 1t was
found having been before the glacial
period the sea floor, it is surmissed
that the lobster was caught mapping
with thousands of others when the
glaciers swept down and deposited the
bed of rock which must now be drilled
through to get artesian water.
This having occurred 100, 1000 years
ago. according to geologists, it would
mean that the lobster had been prac-
tically dead all these years.

From the vsldosts Tunes.

ne eQlU0f OF the Dalton Argus taxes
the Times and the Albany Herald to
task for kicking against the discrimi-
nation against south Georgia in the af-
tairs OF the state. The Argus thinks
that this section should make combi-

"We never expected to hear two

will strike line across the state from
Atlanta on the north and Macon on the
south they will find that most of the
important offices are captured by mid

Gambler, Senator Clay and Commits

Georgia and Secretaries Cook and Ste
