A Cold FLOODED Murder.

A1Ief DelnS accused OF the inert OF
money belonging to his mistress, Lane
went to the third floor of the resi-
dence and found Mrs. Furbush in one
of the middle rooms. He instantly
shot her twice. once in the breast and
then through the heart. She died in
stantly. Eloise, who was in another
room, hearing the noise, ran in to see
what was the matter, and as she en-
tered Lane shot her in the abdomen.
She fell and he thought he had also
killed her. Without even attracting
the attention of the other servant, who
was ironing in the outkitchen, Lane
went to the front door and called in
Madeline, who was skating on roller
skates on the sidewalk. He told her
that her mother wanted her on the
third floor, and without the slightest
suspicion of the tragedy that was be-
ing enacted and that she was going to
her death Madeline climbed the stairs
without removing her skates. She
went into room adjoining that in
which her mother lay dead. Lane fol-
lowed her, and as she cheerily called
her mother the negro shot her through
the heart, killing her instantly.
Robbed the House.
Lane. in his confession, says he then
proceeded to rob the house. He found
only $3.50, two watches and pocket
book, and while he was searching for
the jewelry he was interrupted by the
arrival of two special policemen who
had warrant for his arrest on the
charge of larceny. They asked to see
Mrs. Furbush, and Lane showed them
to the receiving-room on the second
floor and said he would call his mis-
tress. Recognizing one of the men as
an officer, Lane hastily donned his
overcoat and escaped by the rear of
the house. All was quiet in the house,
and the policemen, hearing a moan,
started an investigation, and on the
third floor hallway found little Eloise,
To the policemen she said: William

The Skin Massage.

The skin should be thoroughly
cleansed once a day. Have the room
warm, and the water only few de-
grees cooler. Stay in the bath five
minutes, keeping yourself either un-
der water or pouring wet all the time.
But it is after you leave the tub that
the really important part Of the bath
begins. Dry yourself thoroughly with
two towels; then take stiff flesh
brush and try with all your might to
rub your skin off. A cocoanut fiber
brush is the best, and to get at your
back it is good plan to have a CO.
coanut fiber mat hung against the
wall to rub yourself against. Keep up
this friction for at least ten minutes.
You could not invest the same amount
of time more usefully. There is moth
ing like this to relieve the congestion
of the blood, and to free the lungs
from oppression. Moreover, it actu-
ally increases the size of the mus
cles and makes them firmer by caus-
ing the blood to- circulate more evigor-
ously in them. AS to its effects upon
the elasticity and beauty of the skin
itself, that will be obvious enough
at glance. It is the brush that fur
nishes the only true bloom of youth

Perpetual
YOUTH

'&ts According to a Partisan correspond
ent of the London Express, Professor
Gautier, distinguished member OF the
1nstitut de France, has advanced
startling theory on the subject of
Perpetual YOUTH" In isolating the
bacteria of physical fatigue he has
found that it is poison strongly re-
sembling ptomaine poison in nature.
From this Professor Gautier concludes
that fatigue CANDY the use of disin-
fectants, be avoided like any other poi
son, and consequently man, no longer
suffering from wear and tear, need not
weaken or age.
To live forever and never grow old
has always been considered unattain-
able except in an illegitimate fashion,
such as making a bargain with the
"evil one," who always cheated the hui,
man party to the contract. To find
out now that it was only bacteria that
stood in the way is to realize how
human nature has erred from all time.
But this raises the suspicion that the
professor is also fallible, and close
reading of the above, assuming that he
has been correctly reported, confirms
the suspicion. The 'bac acteria of physi-
cal fatigue" are something new in
physiology, and that they are poison

II hardly think your condition hope
lessly pitiable!" she said, laughing a
little. Il thought you were going to
the cotillon?"
Mr.. Huntleigh drew back the cur
tains and glanced at the garrison
lights. Then he walked over to her
chair and, drawing an ~ttoman near,
he sat down and gently drew her two
hands into his.
II was going-to see you," he said
with grave earnestness. Then learn
ed from the doctor that you were to
be home. And-I came here. I think
you know why. Will you give yourself
to me, dear? I am lonely and want
you So
The doctor came in after little and
suggested that he had nutmegs and
lemons and the kettle was boiling, and
If Harry could think of something else
he might fix up something.
And when his daughter kissed him
with sudden and grave intensity and
ran away to get the something needful,
ne turned to Huntleigh, who wrung
both his hands hard and promised he
would only take her east three months
of the year.
Then the doctors rugged face light
ed up. And when Harry came back
and was gathered promptly into Hunt
le1gh's arms, the doctor glanced out
at the garrison lights and with great
care and solemnity-closed one eye.

casiona1ly a senator will come to
Washington with the idea he can be
something or somebody upon $4,000
year. 1t does not take many months
to show him the futility of the effort
In fact, it is impossible for senator
to save anything from his salary, un-
less he hides in back street, burying
himself like hermit, neither enter
tanning or being entertained. In the
diplomatic service the leading ambas-
sadorial positions are bestowed upon
men whose entourage can be maintain
ed by their private fortunes, and the
time does not seem to be far distant
when the senate of the United States
will be composed in large degree Of
rich men simply because a poor man
cannot afford to accept the position
1t is to the credit OF the senate that
wealth is not yet the standard by
which it's members Judge each other
There are millionaiIes in the senate
who occupy insignificant places who
are never consulted by their colleagues
and who simply follow where others
lead. On the other hand, men who
possess brains are consequential fac
tors in determining legislation, al
though in material wealth they may
be as poor as church mice A man
cannot rise to eminence in the senate
by wealth alone. Herein it seems to
me, is much basis for felicitation. Un-
til this condition changes the senate
will continue to be what it is today,
the greatest legislative body in the
world. OF course, the time may come
when the sordid influences which
measure man by the size Of his bank
account may control the senate. Let
us, at least, be thankful that this time
has not yet arrived, and let us hope
for the sake Of the republic that it
will never come-Philadelph Times

Pay for Senators


In the United States senate are sew
eral wealthy men, but there are some
OF the most influential members of
that body who depend upon their sal
aries for support. To two-thirds of
the senator's the annual salary of
$4,000 is consideration not to be des-
!: pissed. There are few perquisites to
exc out this comparatively meager
|; compensation in fact, worth
mentioning. The government provides
one or two clerks to attend to the
senator's correspondence, which is
always heavy; it allows a minimum of
free stationery. and it returns some of
MS travelling expenses. There is op-
portunlty, of course, to make money
through speculation, and some sena-
tors avail themselves of it. One sena-
tor, who was a large holder of Wash
1ngton real estate, increased it's value
very materially by steering legisla-
ton for street improvements in it's
direction, while every manipulation of
tariff schedules and of internal reve-
o~"~A~~eAoAA
tobacco, whisky and sugar, reveals
the close connection between the SEN
ate of the United States and Wall
street. But this acquisitivenesss to call
IL by no harsher name, is after all
confined to the few senators who are
noted for their commercial instincts.
{The majority of senators do not
speculate. They content themselves
W1th their modest salary; and how
tney manage to live upon it is a daily
wonder. The demands upon the sena-
torlal purse are incessant. Every
senator is persistently approached by
stranded constituents, who expect and
generally receive, financial assistance.
Unless he elects to live in absolute re-
tirement it isalso incumbett upon him
to maintain some social position. Oc-

NOT READ IN FRANCE.

Present Day English Novelists Almost
Unknown Among the French.
IN France, where literary fame is
held in high esteem, many OF the most
successful of the present day English
novelties are almost entirely unknown.

and bookseller, says that Marie Cor

French writer's with the greatest
vogue just now, such as Pierre Louys,
the author of LES Aventures du Rol
Pausole,'' now in its sixteenth thou
sand; Jean Lombard, the author of
"Byzance,' and Michael Corday, whose
novel Venus Gu les dieux Risques''
has been one OF the most discussed
BOOKS OF the year, are unknown out
side of France. Alexandra Dumas
pere still holds the suffrages of the
French, and thousands of his books
sell every year. It would be difficult
to arrive at any exact information, but

Dickens and Scott are the two most

sellers differ as to which is most popu-
Lar. Dickens, of course, suffers most
n nd ie
characters are so absolutely Cock
ney' that it is difficult to understand
how French readers comprehend him
at all. The French novelist usually
receives satisfactory financial results
for his work. Nearly every French
newspaper publishes serial story, and
almost every story-good, bad or in
different-frst sees the light in this
way The prices vary, but as! the
feuiiielon is by far the most important
part of the average newspaper, papers
of the stamp of lie Figaro pay at a
considerably higher rate than is COM
mon in England. The story is then
published in the usual paper covers at
3 francs 80 centimes, the author re-
ceiving a royalty varying from so
centimes to 80 centimes, the price paid
to Paul Bourget on each volume. If
a story is popular success after it
has passed through several editions, it
is issued in penny numbers, and it will
also probably. appear in feuilleton form
in half dozen of the less important
metropolitan and provincial papers.
The author has, therefore, four sepa-
rate ways of deriving income from his
work-New York Press.

There's No Place

"They miss the flaming naphtha lamps,
the winkle barrows, the hokey-pokey
man and all the other things that have
been their lifelong companions" said
Father Stanton of St. Alban's,, Hol-
born, yesterday, when asked by the
Daily Mail representative how the
children of the slums take to their
summer outings in the country.
Then, too, they are afraid of the
time in the country" continued the
kindly faced, great-hearted friend of
thousands of street arabs and gutter
gamins. They have all sorts of rea-
sons for preferring the city to the
country, and some of them are perfect
ty inexplicable. One little boy wrote
to me after his outing last year and
said he didn't like the country because
while there a wasp had stung him. "
Another youngster took a day at
Brighton with me in preference to two
weeks in the country, and could give
no reason for his choice" It never
entered the modest mind of this favo-
rite of the slum children why it was.

toward the window, where the garri-
son lights could be seen all Pickering
near the foothills.
"Cut dead, dad, dear!" smiled his
daughter. And would have enjoyed
it so!'

Miss Harvis.
She bent low over the little kettle
that was bubbling fussily over the al
cohol flame, and something glittered
in the light of the fire-something that
trembled a moment on the dark-eye-
lashes, then was swept hastily away
as she turned smilingly to the doctor.
Tea or toddy, dad? Get into your
slippers and smoking jacket, and be
comfy. I am starved.'
She did not eat much, however,
though she broke up some mullins and
cakes on her plate and built forts
with the crumbs. But her father
seemed serenely indifferent to her lack
of appetite, and enjoyed his supper
with absolute content.
Some more preserves, Harriet. l

all right. And I'll take another muf-
fin, my dear. Saw Huntleigh in the

one corner of the crumb fortification.
Then she prodded it with toothpick.

"Yes."
Miss Harvis was certainly not To-
auacious.
DR.. Harv1s stared thoughtfully at
the glowing logs in the fireplace mo-
ment, then meekly asked for another
cup Of tea.
The tea was poured out in profound
silence, and was sugared four times.
The doctor did not take any sugar at
all in his tea, but he made no protest,
and swallowed the mixture heroically,
only making slight grimace as it
went down.
"There-the gate clicked" he re-
marked presently.
"Oh, dad-someone after you. And
did want you home with US tonight.

Harriet had risen to her feet, with

A firm step sounded on the porch.
and the knocker rat-a-tat-t -tated gently.

was following his daughter into the
little parlor across the hall.
