A Negro's Bloody Deed.

A negro desperado named Baldy Taylor murdered E. R. Hughes, fa- tally wounded H. G. Fisher, slightly wounded E. w. Schudy and was himself mortally wounded on Deckerville passenger train between Luxora and Osceola. The victims of the negro were all prominent business men of eastern Arkansas, and the murderer had not the least proyocation, as proven by eyewit- nesses. Taylor entered the coach for whites with two female compan- ions and in an insolent manner told the women to take seats. Mr. Hughes quietly spoke to Taylor, inform ing him that be was in the wrong car. The negro became greatly en- ragged and with an oath drew a A. calibre revolver and fired at Hughes. who fell and expired in a short time. As Hughes sank to the floor Fisher, who was sitting in the same seat, got his pistol out and both he and the desperate fired at the same time. Fishers aim was good, Taylor re- ceiving wound in the side, but he succeeded in firing a shot that slightly wounded Schudy. The train crew barricaded the doors to the car and secured Taylor, who was placed in jail at Osceola. When the news of the tragedy became known a crowd assembled for the purpose of lynching Taylor, but when they reached the jail they found that he had died from the wound received in the bloody battle he precipitated.

CHINA's NATIONAL ANTHEM.
It Took Prince Imperial to Discover
 the Curious Fraud.

Much amusement was caused at Brusselsrecently during the officialre- ception of the Chinese prince impe- rial. All day the young oriental was over the city, visiting. buildings, monuments, museums, dining and re- viewing, and everywhere he went he was struck by the same monotonous tune wearily intoned by the military
 bands. After while it jared so terribly on his nerves that he asked his interpreter to inquire what the blessed thing was ''The Chinese national anthem," the reply. of the somewhat surprised burgomaster of Brussels, MT. De Mot. ''But we have none," was the response made by the royal guest to the embarrassment of the entourage, ''and this tune was certainly never heard in the land of the celestials." :" Murder will out" and it seems that willy European some years ago composed a sort of tumtum, with an accompaniment, and called it the Chinese National Anthem" and sold the right to per- form the same on all occasions when any Chinese dignitaries were being entertained. He has already made a nice little sum out of it. This in- cident has caused much chagrin at the Hotel de Vile in Brussels, but more amusement among the general public, who are enjoying laugh at the expense of the city fathers Boston Transcript.

Benefits Arkansas Miners.

One of the largest coal operators in this state says the strike in Penn sylvania is good thing for the Ar kansas miners. There is big de- mand for Arkansas hard coal, and only about one-tenth of the. orders can be filled, owing to the limited output. Heretofore the Pennsylva- mia fields have supplied the demand for anthracite which confined the Arkansas product to the home mar ket.

GEOLOGICAL PIANO.
A Musical Instrument of Flints the
 Strangest in Existence.

Strangest in Existence.
 Sermons in stones have become common enough since geologists learned to interpret the secrets of fos- sils. To awake melodies and har- monies in pebbles and rocks would seem a much more difficult, if not inn possible, achievement.
 It has been accomplished, howev- CT, according to L'Illustration, for there is in existence a wonderful pi- ano, the notes of which are given forth by fints, arranged in regular scale. The tones of this geological piano are of remarkable quality. Mo- zart dreamed of an orchestra of stones for the Magic Flute" 1.-the patience and skill of the pianos ere ator and owner, Mir. Honore Baudre, could be carried on to further lengths, it is not impossible that such an orchestra could be forthcom- ing
 It was the work of years for M. A3audre to make the collection of Hints which constitute his geological piano. They are now to be seen at an exhibition which is being held at Brest. The stones do not belong to the class of resonant rocks known as ''phonolytes," such as are found in Auvergne, not far from Mont-Dore, but are fints collected by M Baudre with infinite toll and research, each giving when struck true musical note.
 By accident while taking country walk one day he picked up flint and chancing to strike it heard faint note respond to the blow. The idea took hold of him to gather, if possi- ble, enough f1ints to form complete chromatic scale. Difficulties in the search for such stones only increased his ardor. For more than 30 years he pursued the quest, making it the principal aim of his life to form out of collection of flints the instrument he called the geological piano"
 After many years he has at length got together the full scale in flint notes, and numerous examples of each with the exception of one He had been so far unsuccessful in put ting his hand on the first ''Do." Per- haps it did not exist in nature. He gave up hope that he could meet with 1t in France. He would try Canada. But the new world showed no trace of the initial note of the octave, and M. Baudre returned to his native land resigned to the notion that the chase must be abandoned in his old age. Fortune once again smiled, and the stone of which he despaired sud- denly appeared as he was walking in Berry.
 Advanced in years, he now passes his leisure in playing, as he does with l skill. on this clrious niano

-C&PTATHy .. JOHNSTON MAY RE- COVER,
Says Physician at Mtddletown Where
 He Was Taken Yesterday

| Says a Physician at Middletown, Where He Was Taken Yesterday Captain William H. Johnston, of
 steamer No, 2 of the fire department,
 was yesterday at a hearing held in the probate court, adjudged insane and was
 committed to the State Hospital for the | Insane at Middletown. He was taken
 to Middletown by William A. Schappa, l janitor of city hall, and James Grant, superintendent of fire alarm telegraph of the fire department. Both of these gentlemen have been close friends of Captain Johnston for years, and yester-
 day on the trip to Middletown they
 were able to keep him quiet as probably few men in New Haven could have done.
 Since seized with the mania Captain Johnston has been exceedingly violent and it was only with the greatest diff culty that he was restrained from vio- lence by the efforts of several police
 men when he was taken to Springside
 last Saturday. Even yesterday when
 he was taken to the depot he made lots
 of trouble for his attendant. When, however, he was met at Union depot by MT. Schappa and MT. Grant and was given into their charge, he a once became much quieter and accompanied them without protest, recalling the fact that they were fellow members of Hi ram lodge and saying that he knew they would do him no harm.
 Just as he was about to be taken aboard the train he began to call out loudly and attracted the attention of large crowd, but soon became quiet at the request of MT. Schappa, and as he entered the car he appeared to have a few rational moments and in loud voice informed those in the car that he was insane and that if he mad any dis turbance they must pardon him, as he did not know what he was doing. Dur ing the trip to Middletown there were a few outbreaks such as might be ex- pected from man In his condition, but these were only momentary
 When the party arrived at the hos pital in Middletown the physician who received Captain Johnston carefully ob- served the symptoms and later told MT. Schappa and MT, Grant that he thought they would have the captain entirely cured of his dementia in few months, This, coming from physician who has had a wide experience in such cases, and who is well qualified to judge from the symptoms, is very encouraging to Captain Johnstons friends

AUTHOR AND PHYSICIAN
Writes Interesting TaIe.

The author of Under Palmetto and Pine" Norma Trist," -Four Years on Wheels" etc., Dr. J. W. Carhart of La Grange, Texas, in addition to his liter ary efforts it hard working physician in general practice.
 T. He writes interestingly of how his freedom from heart trouble was gained by leaving off coffee and using Postum in it's place q drank coffee in the or dinary form for many years; nervous trouble involving disturbance of the hearts action resulted.
 On coming to Texas I fell into the habit of drinking coffee after hard, cold rides in my practice or when in camp or on the trail My heart trouble soon became exceedingly aggravating, result ing in frequent attacks of what was pronounced angina pectoris, a severe agonizing pain over the heart extend ing to the back and sometimes down the left arm.
 Tn some of these attacks but for the timely administration of morphine in jected hypodermically I could have sur vived but a short time.
 At different times I abandoned the use of coffee, believing it the cause of my troubles, and invariably improved, but as I had nothing satisfactory to take its place in the way of beverage I re- turned to it's use.
 The litera ture of Postum Cereal Cof- fee came to my notice and I resolved to try it. The directions for preparation were strictly followed and I found.it an agreeable, appetizing inyigora ting ta ble beverage. I continued it's use in my family for the past year and a half or two years during which time I have never had an attack of my old heart trouble, am capable now at the age of CT years to do as much professional and g literary work as at any period of my life. I can endure physical exercise without Wearness but with zest and relish, and have gained in weight from 134 pounds to 165 pounds"
 The doctor further refers to the wide spread prevalence of heart trouble from the use of coffee and tobacco, and speaks of the advantage gained by patients when they leave off coffee and take Postum.
 It must also be added that the poison of the coffee does not affect the heart in some patients but shows it's work in the stomach and bowels with one. per haps in the eyes with another, and kid neys with another, and general nervous prostration with another.
 It is never possible to tell just where the result ot the poisoned nerve centers will show forth. There is but one way to surely cure such cases and that is by insisting upon leaving off coffee and using Postum in its place. Postum con- tains the clements for rebuilding the nerve cells and brain. Albumen is fur nished in variety of foods but albu- men cannot be made into the soft, gray matter of the brain and nerve cells ex- cept by the action of phosphate of pot ash upon it and the system will not always take up the crude phosphate of potash, whereas, it can be depended upon to take up the delicate particles of that element when presented as Ma ture presents it in food It is in both Postum Coffee and Grape N9tA
