~ Co. for the past six weeks, was
found at the spot designated above,
his cheek bone having been mashed
by rock or some blunt instrument
and his throat having been cut from
ear to ear.
No wonder the good citizens of
this community were shocked when
they heard the news of this awful
murder. 'Tis horrible TO contem-
plate that we live aud commingle day
after day with persons who would
be guilty of that blacklist and most
damnable of all crimes-taking the
life of fellow being, The strong
arm of the law should take hold and
/ punish the guilty. We none of us
know when we are safe from the
assassin

THE DEcAsTELLANE CASE.
An Opinion Favorable to the Demands
 of the Count and Countess.


 Paris, January 9.-The hearing of the suit of Charles Wetheimer, the London bric-a- brac dealer, against Count and Countess De Castellane to recover payment for art objects sold to the defendants, the trans action taken as a test case, involving the sum of 12,946 francs, was resumed today before the first civil tribunal of the Seine. The session was devoted to the usual sum- ming up of the report by the Minister of Justice and the case was then adjourned for a week, when judgment will be pronounced. The Speaker today expressed an opinion in favor of the Castellanes' demand for ex- perts to determine the value of some of the articles involved, but only in the case of objects exchanged in 1899.
 The transactions up to June, 1899, he con- siders entirely settled and expresses the opinion that the court was not justified in going back to them. But the operations dating from June, 1899, were different. He instances the case of a bill for 135,S75 francs which was left unsettled, even though Wertheimer was engaged in making eX- changes, during the course of which Vert heimer paid money to Count De Castellane, the operations involving sums aggregating two millions. These transactions were not, in his opinion, natural, and were open to the suspicious of being of an uSuriouS char acter which justified the appointment of experts to appraise the articles which Count De Castellane claimed were taken by Vert heimer at an inferior valuation. He came to the same conclusion in the case of Asher vs. Wertheimer

THE SUSPENDED COMPANY.
Lord Dufferin Explains His Connection
 With the Concern.


 London, January 9-Amid the cries of Turn him out" hootings and other hostile Interruptions, the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, chairman of the suspended London and Globe Finance Corporation, limited, at the extraordinary meeting of the com pany called for today, succeeded in at least temporarily appeasing the wrath of the shareholders.
 The hall was packed and the directors were evidently supported by a considerab ble faction, as warm cheering was mingled with the misses and hoots. As a result of explanations of the directors, the share holders voted an adjournment until Mon day, when a scheme for the reconstruction of the concern will be submitted.
 Lord Dufferin spoke with evident emotion as he explained his personal relations with the corporation, and the result of the meeting was largely tribute to himself.
 During the course of his remarks he ex- plained that he was induced to accept the chairmanship at the solicita ton of the late Lord Loch and Sir William Robinson
 Lord Dufferin added that he felt that when two such eminent men were connect ed with the concern he could legitimately join. He soon discovered he had bitter opponents, who desired his resgnatdo hoping that a depreciation of the securities would follow, but he stuck to his position and investments, and though greater suf- ferer than most of the shareholders, he had no regret if he had helped to convince them of his good faith.
 The meeting closed with cheers for Lord and Lady Dufferin.

ham, and the fruit stands on the corners here were occasionally patronized by Mrs. Fox whenever she thought of preparing a pound or two of nutted dates for her own use. And now, very naturally, too, matinee girl is going to figure in this very practical little story of woman's success. The matinee girl, enjoying a box of nutted dates, asked who made them.
 The story leaked out then and there and Mrs. Fox was beseged with orders. So fast and furious did they pour in that she hardly had time to make out an application for a patent" She secured a patent last Mo- vember, and from the little box of dates ordered from a dago's fruit stand the order is now made for one ton of dates to be sent direct from wholesale dealers to Mrs. Fox From half dozen unpretentious little boxes the order goes for two thousand, and the dates are packed in one and one and a half and two-pound boxes with "FoX's Nutted Dates" inscribed in big gold letters.
 To show that this clever woman, who pre- pares this delicious and popular confection, was determined upon making her new en- terprse a financial success, she mailed sample boxes to out-of-town customers, and now the shipping order is by no means a small part of her enterprising industry The whole story of her success is really told in the two words on every box of nutted dates that is sent from her establishment: "Sold Everywhere"

WoMlAeNN eNcinrv
BY ANNIE KENDRlck WALKER.

A cheery-faced little Birmingham woman, with rosy cheeks and the softest silvery hair growing in thick waves from her brow, has demonstrated that from very small beginning a large industry may grow.
 She is Mrs Dora Fox, whose delicious "nutted dates" are found at almost every luncheon served in Birmingham, since they make not only--the most attractive eonfec- ton to be heaped in cut glass bonbon dishes, but they are far more wholesome than the candied bonbons But almost everybody in Birmingham knows of the delicate flavor of these nutted dates, which are prepared by this enterprising Bir- mingham woman and sold at many of the most pominent places in the city, the retail price being 60 cents a pound
 The story of Mrs. Fox's successful little industry dates back to a "dago" stand in Florida, where she purchased the first dates which were later to bring her fame and fortune. She began by preparing a pound of dates, stuffing them with all monds, walnuts. hickory nuts, filberts and oceans. Her own family were the first to declare that nutted dates were delicious and wholesome, but it was not dreamed that this experiment would eventually be- come a most successful industry. In the meantime the family removed to Birming-

Her Father in the Same Mind.

'I never thought for one moment that coffee was the cause of my worn-out feel ing and dull headaches and energy all gone until began to notice that my bad feelings came on every morning after drinking coffee for breakfast, no matter how well I felt when I got up.
 "I began to think the subject over and finally decided to try Fostum Food Coffee in place of common coffee and see if it was coffee that had been hurting me. After making the change I discovered, to my de- light, that the headache and worn-out feel ing did not come on after breakfast.
 After very thorough trial I am fully convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble, and that leaving it off and using -Postum Food Coffee has restored me to health.
 My father, who has had very poor health for several years, quit coffee some time ago and began using Postum in place of it. It would surprise any one to see how much he has improved.
 'eWhen I boil Postum twenty minutes and serve it immediately while it is hot, with good rich cream, think it far excels any coffee.
