Seattle, Aug. 26.-Charles w. Nord-

the deed for which he was convicted
over nine years ago. November 80, 1891.
Nordstrom worked during the fall Of
that year for Thomas Mason, a ranch
er, lea Cedar Mountain. He had had
a dispute about a small amount of
wages due him. On the night Of the
murder William Mason was sitting
down to supper with his father. Some
one fired a shot from outside the win
dow. Young Mason pitched forward
and died In a short time. An investi-
CATION showed the prints OF the muir

Lewis demanded n jury trial as TO
Nordstrom's sanity. The superior

One Shade or Two?

Youths Companion: Is there a diff
ference between grey" and gray"
aside from the matter of spelling?
American photographers say there is
not. but the academy tells us hat we
must be careful IL we would give each
Its special application" And it adds
very learnedly: Who does not feel
that some things are grey and others
gray?" If anybody does not feel that
way let him not be ashamed to speak
up.
DR.. Murray, the editor of the great
new dictionary that is now only part
ly published, went about In 1893 max
Ing an inquiry as TO usage and found
that opinions in London varied. The
replies to his questions showed that in
Great Britain the form grey is the
more frequent In use, despite the au-
tbority Of DR.. Johnson and later leXi-
c~ographers, who give the preference to
gray.
Many correspondents said they had
used the two forms with a difference
oe meaning or application, the distinc-
ton most generally recognized bling
that grey denotes n more delicate or
lighter tint than gray. Others consid-
cred the difference to be that gray Is a
warmer color, or that 1t has a mixture
OF red or brown. The academy's own
opinion Is that gray has more of senti-
ment, grey more Of color, which means
that gray is a suggestion rather than a
positive outline.
After all this learned discussion peo-
pie will go on pronouncing the word
without reference to it's vowel, and In
saying that the shade Is gray they
will let any one with a fancy for the
dispute spell 1t to suit himself. These
fine distinctions may be ignored on the
plea of the brevity OF life.

A YOUNG FINANCIAL GENIUS. .s,
How Willie Jones brought His Mother TO
Terma,

Chicago Tribune: The parents and
friends Of little Willie Jones are thor
oughly convinced that he is destined
to be a multi-millionaire. They base
their conviction on n recent occur
renee.
Until a month ago little Willie was
in the habit of going to his mother
when he wanted money and asking
her for a nickel or n dime, according to
his needs. One day when his requests
for money had been unusually frequent
she made up her mind hat 1T would
be well to teach the young man a les
son In thrift.
You are old enough to earn your
own money, WILLIE she said, "or at
least a part of 1t. Let's see If you can't
find a way to earn some without al
ways asking mother"
For the neXt three weeks Willie made
not a single demand for money, and
finally his mother concluded that
! something must be the matter with the
boy. Possibly she IA been too severe
with him.
Whats the matter with you, Will
lie?" she said. "Why don't you ever
ask me for any money? I didn't meal
to cut you off entirely when l spoke to
you the other day."
II don't need to ask, mother said
lllc yOblb iiliiiNitis ahi td M
more money now han j really need"
How do you do it, Willie?' asked
the mother.
Willie was reluctant to disclose the
secret, but finally consented to do so,
The Joneses live in a big house which
stands in an acre of ground. Behind
the house the yard is covered with a
thick growth OF trees and shrubbery,
To the rear of the yard behind a thick
clump OF bushes Willie led his Won
dering parent. There in a spot entire
ly concealed from view from the house
he had arranged a dozen small boxes
in the shape Of the seats at a theater
In the center stood a post, and on the
post was tackled n placard. On this
placard little Willie had printed In
scrawling letters the following list OF
attractions:
. . = q = = = q y y y = y 4 = 4 4 4 .
" WHAT WILLIE JONES WILL DO!

Little Willie has now been put on G

Advices from Skagway OF the latest
date state that after some Of the bodies
were washed ashore ghoulish acts were
committed by Indians. At that time
the coast was not in control Of patrol
men, and the bodies cast ashore were
temporarily unprotected. AS soon as
1T was discovered in Juneau that the
work Of robbing corpses was in prog
ress the United States marshal dis
patched a number OF deputies to the
scene, and at the date Of sailing Of the
Hating it was understood hat several
of the ghouls had been a~pprehended.
OF the bodies recovered nine were
buried in juneau. 1t is understood
thai the majority OF the Inferred re-
mains were those OF members of the
crew.
1t is thought that some bodies yet
remain within the wreck. AS yet the
task of raising the vessel has o been
considered.
