NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Former Attorney
General Griggs in discussing at Paterson,
N. J.. the shooting OF President Mckinley
said:
"I warned him against this very thing
time and time again. L asked him for the
~country's sake If not for his own to have
a body guard when he went out. He re-
fused. He laughed at me. He insisted that
the American people were too Intelligent
and too loyal TO their country TO do anv
harm to their chief executive. He had
supreme confidence in the people.Y

NARROW ESCAPE.
Lightning Strikes Hcme of Congress
 man Bowie, Doing Damage.

Anniston, August 20.-(Special.) 1.-The family of Hon. s. J. Bowie, Congressman elect from this district, and law part ner of Hon. John B. Knox. president of the Alabama constitutional convention, had a miraculous escape from death during an electric and rain storm this afternoon about o'clock
 Lightning struck one of the chimneys on the Bowie home, corner of Leighton avenue and Twelfth street The current ran down the chimney and tore out the grates in two upstairs and two down stairs rooms. Mrs. Bowie and her child ren were sitting in one of the rooms up- stairs and In an adjoining room sat Miss Lula Couch and her aunt and a brother of Mrs. Bowie.
 All of those in the rooms felt the shock and say the lightning played for several seconds in the rooms. They were all badly frightened but no one was in jured.
 The lightning besides knocking down the chimney above the roof tore off about ten feet of shingles, sending them flying across Twelfth street.
 The grates were torn out in the rooms and the carpets were ruined.
 MT. Bowie was not at home at the time of the occurrence.
 The escape of those in the two rooms was marvellous.

DECAYED BODY FOUND.
Young Man Is Arrested and Charged
 With the Murder.

Bay Minette. August 2o.-(special) = It has Just developed here that about six weeks ago murder was committed at Dyas, saw mill station eight miles north of here on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. It appears that Walter Butler, who was yard foreman for Mcclure & Grenamyre, had some hot words with negro. Jim Swain, and the negro fled to the residence of MT. Mcclure for protec- ton. Later the negro was persuaded that and he accordingly left, going afoot down the railroad track. About this time, it Is said, Butler heard that the negro was leaving and went to a neighbor and bor- rowed Winchester rifle, and was gone with it for some time. Upon his return it is said that the gun contained two cart ridges less than when he left with it, and he told some of his associates that he had shot the negro, but no one believed him. About a week ago the badly decayed body
 of a man was found a mile south of Dyas near the railroad in swamp A warrant was sworn out against Butler and last Friday he was arrested and sent to jail. The evidence against the accused Is all circumstantial. The affair was kept So quiet that 1t has not yet been in print. The Baldwin Times has two-story of l fee nearly complete, and Is expected to | move from Daphne to Bay Minette early | in September.

A poor little faded woman had been
brought into court as witness In case
involving very important issues. The
entire case depended on the fact that
paper had been signed on certain
day, and this the forlorn little woman
was prepared to prove.
You saw the paper signed?" asked
the opposing counsel in cross examina-
tion.
Yes, sir"
"And you take your oath that it was
the 18th of August"
81 know it was, sir"
The lawyer, who thought another
date could be proved, assumed an e1as-
perating smile and repeated her words.
you know it was? And now be so
good as to tell us how you know It,"
The poor little creature looked from
one countenance to another with wide,
sorrowful eyes, as If she sought under
standing and sympathy; then her gaze
rested on the kindly face of the judge.

How many generations ago was it
when unkind British satirists began
calling Frenchmen frog eaters in ac-
cents of sneering and contempt? 1t is
not unlikely that in these days as many
frogs legs are cooked and eaten in
the United States as in our sister re-
public over the sea. The sales in our
markets are large, and the demand in
American homes and restaurants
seems TO be steadily increasing Sew
eral keen New Englanders have put
their heads together and also their cap
ital and have decided to start huge
frog farm not a hundred miles from
Boston. The annual crop will not be
sent across the ocean, but will be taken
in the markets of our principal cities
This is time of odd and novel indus
tries. Is there a possible profit in tad
poles too?

By long odds the neatest change
purse I have ever seen comes from the
land of the Aztecas and is of pure Indi-
an origin. Two disks of embossed
leather "a inches in diameter are
sewed together on their perimeters e1-
cept for the space Of IA inches, thus
leaving an opening into which coins
may be introduced. This pocket Is
now placed between two other emboss-
ed disks three inches In diameter,
which are likewise sewed together on
their perimeters except for space Of
two inches and the arc thus left is cut
away, permitting the inner pocket to
be turned by pulling with the thumb
and finger, but not allowing it to es-
cape from the outer covering. Turn
said inner pocket around until the open
ing appears, put in the coins and turn
back until the opening is concealed. 1t
is impossible to lose a coin and impos-
sible to extract change until the open
ings in the inner and outer pockets CO.

There are no gambling houses. Faro,

Wandering wits.

Coventry Patmore, the English poet,
less driver and when his fits of reverie
came upon him would allow the horse
to follow its own equine will. One day
he took his wife for a drive, and they
went on and on until evening began to
fall. Mr.. Patmore, absorbed in his own
thoughts, had no idea of turning, nor
could his wife arouse him to sense Of
their situation. She spoke to him. He
did not answer. She shook him and
then, as last resort, stopped the horse.
This brought her husband to himself,
and he acknowledged that the region
was entirely unknown to him. A coun-
tryman presently appeared, and they
asked him the way to Heron's Ghyll.
81 don't rightly know" said he, but
if you go on as you're going you'll be
drownded."
Indeed there proved to be a large
pond but few yards beyond the spot
where they had stopped.
This habit of inattentiye driving be-
came a fixed one and even impressed
itself upon the mind Of Mr.. Patmore's
little son. One day, after he had been
his fathers companion on such an ex-
cursion, he sought Mrs. Patmore.
Mamma" said he. "Piphie would
rather not be a poet when he's man"
"Why not?" asked Mrs. Patmore.
because" said the child, poets take
so long to drive to Winchelsea."-
