 Dear Sirs: You paint lead and oil, don't you? Do you know why house turns flat in spots and streaks in few weeks, before the paint has had a chance to chalk or wear?
 Devoe lead and zinc don't flat. It's as glossy as ever until it begins to wear: it keeps it's gloss for two or three years. When the gloss begins to go, the paint is beginning to go. It isthe first sign of wear--it ought to be.
 We suppose the hatting is due to water in lead; but why itshould fiat in spots and not all over, is more than we know
 There is water in all white lead in the making. We dry it out; perhaps nobody else does.
 Yours truly, 60 F. w. Devoe S Co. R. H. Beers & Co.,, sells this paint.

AN ANARCHIST SUFFERS DEATH
For Expressing Pleasure at the Death
of the President

Norfolk, Va, September 20.-The
captain of a small oyster sloop, which
has been dredging in the upper Chesa-
peake, and which arrived here today,
informs the Associated Press c%orrespon-
lent that shortly after President Nc
Kinley was shot a Pole appeared at
Birvalve, Md. and secured a place as
hand on a sloop whose master is named
George Rowell. The man was fairly
well dressed and was educated. He
told the oystermen hat he came from
a good family, but was cut off from
them with a small allowance.
The day after h president died a
passenger on a passing steamer threw
a newspaper containing an account of
the death aboard the sloop. The Pole
secured it and with the crew waiting
for him to read them the story, he ex-
claimed: Good, and Teddy will be the
next in a short time"
The crew set upon him and severely
beat him, rendering him unconscious.
The captain and mate made them cease,
but later. when the master had gone
aft the crew picked the unconscious
form up and threw it overheard.
