A MULTI.NURDERER AT LARGE.
Brief Sketch Of His Career OF Crime and
geieaof Terror in Tennessee.
ahanon Va, March,

misdeeds Of Jim Wright, the
outlaw and escaped convict.
A wide section Of country IS
literally paralyzed with fear OF
this man and his associates and
the officers are completely, it
seems powerless to relieve the
tention OF the situation.
Wright is between SO and
90 years old. He is a little
weasoned fellow, sometimes
scarcely able to carry his gun,
which is said to be one Of the
latest model guns used by the
u S. army. Yet he is a holy
terror. Following is a brief
catalogue Of his crimes.
About 10 years ago he MUIR
dered DIR. Patrick in Hancock
county. He then fed to Ken
lucky where, on the head OF
Big Sandy river, he is reported
to have killed. or been instru-
mental in the killing, of S men.
Then he went to Texas and
is reported to have engaged
in murder there. Seven years
ago he killed Joe Owens, in
Hancock county, in a dispute
over a. Bible question. For
this crime he was arrested
something over two years ago
and sentenced to the Tennes-
see penitentiary for life. Being
placed out on public works,
he soon affected his escape
and returned to his old haunts.
About a year ago he killed
a man named Legare in Han
! cock county, and received from
the Lawsons, a bad set, 500
for the crime.
A few months ago he was
hired by man named Snapp
to Kill Orvie Depp, who is a
game man. When he met
Depn several shots We're ex-
changed between them and
Depp wounded him in the
knee. To avenge this Wright
whirled around and shot
Depp's spear old son dead.
One night last week Wright,
his nephew John Templeton
and Jim Barrett robbed Henry
Ford's store in Hawkins, Is
miles from Gate City, a few
steps from the Scott county
line. An attempt was made
to capture the men, but they
escaped and are supposed tc
have gone back across the
mountain to their old haunts,
Sheriff Armstrong, Of E1aw-
kins, declares he will capture
hi4s and number Of resolute
men have volunteered to assist
him. Wright has regular
criminal band around him and
swears he will die rather than
be taken. The citizens are
afraid even to talk about him,
lest they be murdered or their
property burned. The torch
is a choice weapon with the
outlaws and the insurance COM
panies refuse to take any
more risks there.
Wright always carries a tes-
lament in his pocket and is
said to be we'll posted in the
Scripture. He has a habit Of
walking into stores with e
drawn weapon and demanding
such articles as he desires.

OSCILLATION IN CHURCH.


 "The house of God shall no longer be desecrated by the smack of kisses Lovemaking during the services in this church has got to stop. The girl who accepts the kisses of a dozen men is brazen and unwomanly, but when she indulges in promiscuous hugging during divine worship she is guilty of a grievous sin"
 The sensation created at the week ly prayer meeting of the Dutch Hol- low (N. Y.) Reformed church by this statement of the pastor, Rev Clar- ence Blakely, was profound, and was succeeded by a torrent of indignant denial from the young members of the congregation
 But the pastor was firm. He said that for the last six months he has known that it was the habit of young men and women to attend the church, which is lighted by kerosene lamps, simply that they might sit together in the semi-darkness and make love.
 During the week of prayer, he de clared, he was annoyed nightly by loud smacks heard at frequent inter- vals from various parts of the church. He asked the trustees to furnish more lamps, but the request was ignored, and he was determined to check the practice or resign.--St Louis Star.

 It seems to be pretty well under stood in Washington that the repupll- can bosses have decided against ad- hitting any of the territories to state hood at this session of congress.
 MT Roosevelt practices and admIres the bossy method of doing things, put he bucked on the gag rule used by the republican house bosses to shut out amendments to the bill for the repeal of the war taxes.
 The republicans in congress have, after a series of caucuses, about reached the conclusion that there is too much political dynamite in q force Dill to make it safe to handle just before a congressional campaign. This IS pad news for democrats
 Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department at Washington, is expert menting with a Venezuelan shrub that is said to cure leprosy. He has had q quantity sent to the Hawaiian Islands, where most of the experiments will be carried on at the leper colony on Molo- kai Island.
 Attorney General Knox has rendered an opinion that the transfer of the em- ploves of the government printing office to the classified civil service was illoral. which means more pie for re- nubIican candidates for congress. And Mr Roosevelt once posed as civil ser vice reformer.
 ssThough revolution in our form of government may not yet be on foot tIla plain tendencies of the politics and measures of the dominant party, since the outbreak of the Spanish war, is tc destroy the ideals which were once the peculiar glory of the American people. Hon Richard Olney.
 Tn Iowa it has just been decided that dead mans estate can be sued and damages recovered in breach oi nronlise case The rule thus laid down seems to imply that man is not ex- cused from marrying merely because he happens to die. Thus the bachelors see that another alternative has beer denied them.
 If the practice of the Detroit courts in the case of Andrews. the bank bust or. requiring only $25.00O bond fol theft of S200,000 were 10 become the regular thing, bank-busting would soon be one of the recognized industries oi the country. Perhaps it is regarded by that judge as an infant industry that needs protection.

ADVICE FROM sANDow.

Eugene Sandow, writing in his mag azine, gives some advice to business men:
 T would recommend" he says, S'every one to walk at least a part of the way to business, during which walk most of the problems of the day can be solved, thus leaving the mind free for detail work. The lunch should, in my opinion. be light and nourishing. The ordinary business lunch is heavy and unwholesome. Tn the evening, when the days labor is over, the days worries should be completely forgotten. Easy to say! you reply. Yes. and easy to do. if you stick to a healthy habit of life and regular business habits. Part of the way home. at least, should be walked. Dinner should consist of at most three courses. The greatest mistake of the day lies in the heavy dinner in vogue. After sitting a while walk should be taken, and so to bed''
 That, Sandow believes to be a ra- tional habit of life for business man.

MARCoNI OPENS A SCHOOL.

Marconi has opened at Frlnten, on the English coast. school for lnstruc- ton in wireless telegraplly. Two houses on a bluff overlooking the sea have been hired, and in the yard be tween them has been erectcd pole 16O feet high for signaling purposes. The object of the school is not only to teach pupils how to send an1 receive messages by the Marconi system, bur to instruct them in making and repair ing the various parts of the Marccni apparatus. First the pupil IS taught to send and receive and then take a course il. the mechanism and the the cry of the apparatus he uses. He learns to take one apart and put it to- gether again and how to keep it in re- pair. The pupil is expected to become thoroughly familiar with the system in a months time, though some pupils remain in the school for two months. The upper floors of the two houses are used as bedrooms. There is a spacious dining room, parlor and a library of technical books, besides a workshop and laboratory. Heretofore the Mar conf company has trained it's men at the cempany's works in Chelmsford, DuL lAG uS1Aduu 1OT COlllpGleuI l0cuulcdl assistants became so great that they decided to open a school of instruction --the first and only one of it's kind in the world. A unique feature of the school is that instead of the pupils pay ing they are given a small premium by the company while they are learning. The feature is, however, to be dscon- tinued so far as the paying of the premium is concerned. The school has
 now six pupils.-New York Press

WHY TRUNKS ARE TRUNKS.

Have you ever wondered why Eox in which you pack your clothes is called a trunk? If you go to the old church of Minister, in Kent, England you will there be shown an olf wooden box, of which the rounded lid is made of q portion of the trunk of q tree L,;l- lowed out.
 This old box is supposed to be tie actual box brought to England hy William the Conqueror, who kept in it the money wherewith he la,d lis troops
 So from Normany came the ilaa which ingenuity has improved upon, until the result is the travelling trunks with which We are accompanied n these days.

eff ever there were prisoners or war who deserve the respect of their cap tors," says an exchange, it is the brave South African farmers, whose heroic defense Sf their country and of their timperilled liberties has made men, alien to them in blood and race, thrill with admiration for the indomi- table courage a God fearing, liberty Toying people have manifested in front ing q. great empire and bidding It q successful defiance. But John Bull, so far from being touched by this splen- did exhibition of pluck, is enraged by it. The concentration camps, the mur- der of wounded Boers facetiously de- scribed as pig sticking, and the sys- tematic starving. of prisoners, are the methods employed to give vent to ms rage. The English press, in the mean time, did it's best to gloss over these violations of the laws of civilized war fare. The world is told that the Boer prisoners in the hands of the English ara treated with the greatest consldera- ton. and that the wholesale slaughter of women and children in Kitchener murder camps is caused not by the un- necessary suffering and privations to which thousands of non-combatants are subjected to, but by the disregard of Boer women for the laws of cieanll- ness. England cannot deny the slaugh- fer of the innocents, but she can invent a lie to explain it away. Controlling
 all the means of communication With
 her victims, she can successfully chal
 lenge contradiction to the lie

It is something of commentary o1l republican diplomacy that, while the administration is endeavoring to estap- fish cordial relations with the Eli pinos and inspire in them respect for American institutions, Governor Iaff has been testifying ill Washington that they are "a lazy, indolent people, inca pablo of performing jury duty" or de- termining questions of justice.
