Thoughtless, selash.

Thoughtlessness Of others is nothing
more than downright sel6shness, which
Is the curse of humanity. The man
who on leaving an elevated train
pauses at the head of the stairs to
light his cigar is selfish. He incom-
modes all who are behind him. The
woman who insists on passing up or
down the stairs ahead of the eager
crowd, slowly, Indifferent to the haste
Of others, must be an awful thing at
home. He who pauses to tie his shoe
regardless of the interruption of traffic
Is brute in his family. see all these
things a dozen times day and wonder
what kind of lives such persons lead in
the family circle. One of the common
evidences of thoughtlessness is seen IN
those who stand in the middle of the
sidewalk to chat while nlultitudes are
forced to defect or make an offset in
order to pass them. The more l see OF

HE GOT THE GOODS.
A Business Deal Between. Potter
Palmer and A. It. Stewart.

A Rusircss Deal Between. Potter
Palmer and A. IT. Stewart.
"At the time of the civil war;" said
an old merchant, Potter Palmer was
In the dry goods business in Chicago,
and Levi z. Letter and Marshall Field
were working for him. Palmer wasn't
SO well known, but he had good rep
utation in the trade, and he didn't have
to introduce himself when he called on
old A. t. Stewart to buy some goods.
After some dickering they agreed upon
the price. and Palmer calmly said that
he would take about 100000 worth.
1t was little larger bill than Stewart
exactly cared to sell young Palmer on
credit, but he concluded to make the
deal and told him to come in the next
morning and arrange some tina! de-
tails. That night some big war news
came, and it didn't require any decla-
ration by the government to inform eV-
cry dry goods man in the country that
the price of goods would take big
squirt up. Stewart recognized it as soon
as he had the news, and he immediate
" thought of Palmer. He also thought
of the big bill of goods Palmer had
bought of him. It didn't particularly
tickle Stewart, that thought didn't.
But it required only a few scratches
of his red head to fix things to his sat
isfaction. He would simply tell Pal
mer that he was sorry. but that he
didn't feel that he could sell such
big bill on credit, and as he knew that
Palmer couldn't raise the cash imme-
diately, why, that would end it, and
the sale would be off. Well, young
Palmer called early, and Stewart
greeted him in his very abruptest man
ner, telling him how sorry he was, etc..
but really he didn't think it wise busi-
ness to extend credit for such an
amount.
".Just how much does the bill come
tor said young Palmer, seemingly sor,
rowful-Iike.
'Just $11O.00O,' Stewart replied. ,and
then he straiehtway gulped for breath
as young Palmer drew an immense
pocketbook from his inside vest pocket
and, opening it, counted out 40 thou
sand dollar bills and, laying them quiet
ly on Stewards desk, said: If you will
kindly count them and give me re
ceipt. I'll be obliged as must take the

Rata and Mice and Large Animals.

How many people are there who
know that elephants, rhinOceroses and
other large thick skinned animals have
formidable enemies III rats and mice?
These small rascally rodents have
found that the feet of the elephant are
excellent eating and have no hesitation
in gnawing at them when the animal
lies down, when, owing to its confined
condition, it Is not very well able to
defend itself against its puny enemies.
To protect these vast creatures 1t is
found necessary in most menageries to
keep terriers about the cages. These
little fellows very soon dispose OF the
pachyderm's tiny adversaries. 1t was
recently discovered in well known
menagerie that the mice and rats had
been very busy with the hide Of a rhi
noceros. A Scotch terrier, Fanny, was
put into the cage Of the huge beast, and
In tie first night she had killed no few
er than twenty-seveD rats. In few
days there were no rats left to nibble
the hide Of the pn1r rblnoceros.

BOER GENERALS
AND THE KAISER

BERLIN, October 1.-The Boer gen.
erals request for an audience of EN-
peror William remains in allegiance un-
til Germany learns the British Govern
ment's views on the subject Foreign
Secretary Won Richtofen has informed
Ambassador Lascelles of the Beers ap-
plication, with an annexation that il
the British government chooses to rec
ommend the generals to the British
Ambassador and he presents them his
majesty will receive them as he would
other notable British subjects. 1t Is
possible, though the British govern
lnent may refuse to make the recon-
lnenda ton referred to, that some way
might be found to grant the Beers an
audience and yet keep within prece-
dents, for it is obvious from the form
in which the question was brought to
Ambassador Lascelles' attention that
Emperor william desires to receive the
generals. Nothing would have been
made of his majesty receiving the gen.
erals in audience a few days ago, put
since their appeal for funds. partly Tor
Dutch schools, and as their visit TO
Berlin is wholly in the interest of tnat
fund, the British diplomatic introduc-
ton of the generals would have been
construed as support Of the appeal.
Whatever be the disposition Of the sub
ject it is understood to be annoying to
the Emperor, as 1T win tend to over
cloud his visit to England.

BLOODY MURDER.
Capture Of William Hale in New
Orleans, Where He Fled After
Committing the Crime.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

ROCKY MOUNT. VA, April 2s.-About
six months ago a horrible. unprovoked
murder!:was committed at Forum, a sta
ton on the Winston-Salem Division of
the Norfolk and Western, ten miles west
of Rocky Mount Va, under the follow
ing circumstances:
Mr.. B. A. Davis, member of the Con-
StitutiOnal Convention, during the day had
addressed large crowd of Franklin coun-
ty voters at that place. While the adj
dress was being delivered a few white
name Of William Hale. Late in the af-
ternoon, after the crowd had been pretty
we'll dispersed (only about 4 dozen 1oiter-
ing). the negro went TO his home about
mile distant. armed himself with dou-
bled-bdrrel shotgun and returned to the
station. On his way he met Mr.. John
Thomas going home in his wagon from
the speaking. Without even parieying, he
fired upon Mr.. Thomas. wounding him
very severely. Mr.. Thomas jumped from
his wagon and retreated to the adjacent
woods. The negro continued his way to
the station and there saw Mr.. Robinette.
and without word or the slightest provo
cation shot Mr.. Robirette dead upon the
spot.
After defying those present. he walked
Of and fed the country. a reward of 5000
was offered for his capture. A few days
ago the sheriff Of this county received
a telegram from the police of New Or
leans saying they had captured the ne
sro and wanted photograph sent. This
was promptly done and answer came:
I've have the right man; come after
him q
The negro was conspicuously marked
about the face. having. when quite young.

of his face nearly burning the ear off.
The sheriff who knows the negro we'll.
left a day or two ago for New Orleans
with proper papers. He is accompanied
by AR Herbert 4Dlilard. common
wealth.s Attorney of Franklin county
The people of Forum are and have
been very much inceEsed and had the
negro been captured at the time he would
have been probably lynched.
