sHUFELT ACQUITTED.
Verdict Was a Surprise and the Judge
Lectures the Defendant.

Glasgow, Aug. 2l.-Thc jury in the
Shufelt murder case brought in a yer.
dict at lO:30 O'Clock this evening OF
not guilty. After the reading of the
verdict Judge Tattan, addressing the
defendant, stated that it would have
been a great deal better for him IL
the jury would have conscientiously
have given him about five years in
the ~penitentiary and thus separate
him from the evil influences which
he seemed to attract about himself.
He further stated that, in his opinion.
IL would only be a question OF time
when the defendant would be requir-
ed to appear before another jury un.
less there was a reformation on the
part of the defendant.
On the opening Of the court this
morning Judge Tattan stated that he
regretted to have to report that, not.

said he was not prepared to say what
course he would take in the matter.
but he gave the opportunity for any
of the jury who felt that they were
not in a frame of mind to give the
defendant a fair and impartial trial

SURPRISING NOTICES.
An Educated ChiIss,nnn Translates
Some Worn on Young So
ciety Lady's Belt.

One of the latest fads is the wearing
of belts ornamented with Chinese
characters in silver. The characters
are generally chosen at random, for,
as few persons can read Chinese, the
meaning Of the hieroglyphics is re-
garded as of no Importance. Never
theless, in the case of one of the belt
ed beauties, the fashion had an ex-
tremely droll result. Quite lately she
met an educated Chinese gentleman,
who expressed his admiration of the
sentiments set forth in the lettering
on her belt. at is beautiful" he said,

The. Universal MIcrObe.

Bacteriologists destroy one by one
our fondest illusions, says Popular
Science News. Hitherto the man in
the street had imagined that were all
the waters Of every city and plain pol
luted he would still find immaculate
springs in the Alps. But NJ. Binst, who
presides over n chemical laboratory
at the Pasteur institute, having no
such faith, obtained some ice from the
glaciers of Mount Blanc itself and
placed it under his pitiless microscope.
His verdict skaters the dreams of
mountaineers. 1t appears that even
the summit, which so long remained
untrodden by human feet, has lost its
purity, If it ever had any. The ice in
question, and water melted therefrom,
were found, on psychological an
alysis, to be "peopled with microbes"

BASEBALL IN EARLY TIMES.
when the Players Were Chosen More
for Their Vocal Powers Than
Knowledge of the Game.

1t was on those rural fields in the
heyday of baseball that the sport, if
less refined, was more picturesque.
That the game was vocal goes with the
saying. Not far away from the truth
was thecountry captain who described
his team as men who can't bat much,
or field much, but first-rate takers"
To dispute the umpire on every close
decision was orthodox duty-a fashion
not yet outliyed-and it made the rural
ball game forensic as well as spectacu-
lar, says Outing.
The country umpire, who was usu-
ally selected by the home team, merits
his specific picture. In the earlier days
of the sport he was chosen for knowl-
edge of the rules simply because the
opposing bucolic mines had so little
knowledge themselves. Later, technical
lore became somewhat secondary as
a credential, and in the ideal rural UNI
pire was sought kind of Boanerges-
Son of Thunder, believing out his
decisions until the welkin echoed, and
able, on the one hand, either t o placate
the crowd by good temper or to daunt
1t with strong speech. That is to say,
the umpire of the time and placehad to
own no middle terms of personal tenn
permanent, but be either extremely
crisp or superlativel y goodnatured and
tactful.

LIBERAL WITH THE LANDS.
Large Amount Has Been Granted
to Public Uses by the state
of Washington.

After nearly 13 years of work
State Land Commissioner Calvert, of
Washington, announces that of the
667, 0S0 acres of land granted the state
of Washington by the enabling act of
1889 all have been selected with the
exception of 8, 161 acres. These will be
selected during the coming summer
and the entire grant thus filed, reports
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The granted lands are distributed as
follows: State penal reformatory,
eleemosynary and educational iRstitu-
lions, 100000 acres; state capitol
grant, $4,000; state normal school,
100000; agricultural college, 100 900;
scientific agricultural college, 100 900;
scientific schools, 900; state univer-
sity, 1850. These lands are exclusive
of common school lands, which are
sections 36-16 in every township in the
state. Some of these sections have
been lost by inundation ana other
causes.
The government permits the state to
select indemnity lands for those lost,
and of this class the state has about
200 600 acres to select. Owing to the
scarcity of remaining government
lands it is doubtful if the state can re-
cover very large portion of the school
lands thus lost.

An exclusively pork diet tends in
fallibly to pessimism. Beef, if perse-
vered in for months, makes n man
strong, energetic and audacious, says
Parsons Weekly. A mutton diet con
tinued for any length of time tends to
melancholia, while veal eaters gradu-
ally lose energy and gayety. The free
use of eggs and milk tend to make
women healthy and vivacious. Butter
used in excess renders its users phleg-
matte and lazy. Apples are excellent
for brain workers, and everybody who
has much intellectual work to do
should eat them freely. Potatoes, on
the contrary, render one dull, invidious
and lazy, when eaten constantly and in
excess. To preserve the memory, even
to an advanced age, nothing is better
than mustard.

l.. Lohr Of Milwaukee and Miss Ada l..

together while out boating, on Lake
Mendoza week ago.
Mr.. Lohr and MISS Hawley were en-

ed to her girl friend that in the evening
Mr.. Lohr was to give her the betrothal
ring.
The lake was entirely calm, and the
cause Of the accident will never be
known.
Mr.. Lohr's career in the university
was a brilliant one. He received
great many honors, having been on the
semi public and joint debates and hav-
ing represented Wisconsin in the recent
debate with Iowa. Miss Hawley was
taking a premedical course at the uni
versity. The tragic occurrence has cast
gloom over the commencement rites
1t is thought that Miss Hawley fell
into the water first and Lohr plunged in
afterward in an attempt to save her
This theory il further supported by tue
fact that some Of the people within a
short distance Of the couple when the
accident occurred claim to have heard
two distinct splashes, indicating that
one struck the water some seconds be
fore the other. Lohr was "a fair swim
