GIRL WAS NEGRO'S
EXECUTIONER
She Adjusts Moose and Leads
Horse From Under Man
MOB OF 1900 WITNESSES HANGING

Mississippi coIored Man, Accused Of
Criminal Assault, Captured After
Long Chase and Taken From Officers
Before Governor Can Interfere.
Europa, Miss, June 2T. - Starting
Durham. a negro, held on charge
Of criminally assaulting the sixteen
year-old daughter of John Wilson, a
white man, near Bellefontaine, two
weeks ago ana attempting to criminal
ly assault three young ladies named
Quinn near this city, all during the
course of the same day, has been
hanged in the public square here by a
mob.
The moose was placed about the ne
gro's neck by the little Wilson girl,
who positively identified him as her
assailant. The negro was then placed
on the back of large black horse, and
at a signal from the leader of the mob
the little Wilson girl led the horse from
under him. over 5000 persons, white
and black, witnessed the hanging. The
lynching was as orderly as a legal exc
negro was dead, the mob cut down the
body and turned 1t over to relatives for
burial.
Barely Escaped Burning.
Durham was captured Friday near
Vienna, Ala, after a running chase
during which he was wounded in two
places. He was brought here Satur-
day night by the sheriff of Wilson
county. A large mob met the train at
the depot, and an effort was made to
get the negro, but the officers spirited
him away and carried him to the jail
at Waltham, six miles from here
where he was again met by a mo- OF
determined men, who said their inten
ton was to burn him. The officers in
charge of the negro succeeded in pre-
vailing upon the mob to give up this
intention, but only after promising &c
deliver the negro to the mob the fol
lowing day for execution.
There was a strong sentiment fol
burning, but this was overcome, anC
the lynchlng took the form of hang
ing. Dunham stoutly maintained his
innocence to the last and denied tha
he had ever seen the Wilson girl. HI
admitted having visited Dunn place
but denied any bad motive. His las
remarks were made TO POO negroes wh'
were assembled about the place O
execution Durham telling them neve
to go about a white mans house whel
women were alone at home.
The three Dunn sisters, the eldest o
whom is less than eighteen, witnessed
the lynching from a distance.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Wells should be waahed or thrown
away when soiled, for the dust which
collects in them il bad for the com.
plexion.
For stiffness of the muscles caused
by overexertion very good remedy is
to rub the affected muscles thoroughly
with alcohol undiluted.
All acids are more or less injurious
to the teeth. Medicine in which there
il acid should be taken through a
glass tube and the mouth rinsed with
little borax and water.
The wrinkles called "crow's feet"
should be prevented by daily stroking
of the folds or where they would come.

The cockroach has been used for
ages by the Russian peasantry as a

TIPS ON. WALKING.

Steps that are quick are Indicative
of energy and agitation.
Tp-toe walking symbolizes surprise,
curiosity, discretion, or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with
preoccupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk il represented as
stopping, noiseless, with short, nerv-
Gus, anxious steps.
Where a revengeful purpose is hid
den under feigned smile the step will
be sinking and noiseles..
Slow steps, whether Nlong or short
suggest gentle or reflective state Of
mind, as the case may be.
The proud step is slow and meas
ured; the toes are conspicuously
turned out; the legs Strengthened.
The direction of the steps wayerino
and following every changing impulse
of the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
.tainty, hesitation and indecision.
Obstinate people, who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on In
tellectual power, rest the feet fatty
and firmly onSthe ground Va X heavily
and slowly, and stand with the legs

Half a tablespoonful of mustard

Fine hot slaw is made by cutting
the cabbage into shreds; put into

For lemon turnovers mix one-third
cupful flour, two tablespoonfuls pow

The Harveian Grafton at the Royal Col
lege or Physicians, London, was @deliv-
cred this year by DR.. Richard Cation, F.
r. G. P. In the course of his remarks
he said that Harvey was almost antici.
pated 5000 years ago by the priest-doc.
tors of Egypt in his momentous discov.
cry of the circulation OF the blood. q

Wor ks on medicine and anatomy and one
brilliant eenius-torgotten nowadays
and ommitted from the cyclopedias-
l-em-hotep, priest of the sun god ~Ra
and physician to King Torsothros, be-
came so eminent that he was revered as
demi3od alter death, a. temple was
built over his tomb, and in his honor
hospitals were raised in Memphis an6
other cities. Here the priest-phy sicians
treated the sick and embalmed the
bodies OF men and sacred animals.
There were probably, DR.. Cation thinks,
the first of mankind to acquire ru6i-
mentary knowledge of the movement of
the blood. Their papyri contain intelli-
gent references to the heart, the blood
vessels and the pulse. OF the heart in
particular they knew much, and their
writings refer to its enlargement, fatty
degeneration, displacement, palpitation
and pericardial effusion. One remark
able passage OF these old-world inquir-
ers spea..s of distension of the heart and
shortness of breath as occurring because
the blood has stagnated and does not cir
culate properly.
Not Greece, therefore, but Egypt,
long before Galen and Hippocrates, was
the motheriand of rational medicine and
anatomy. The views of the Greeks on
the circulation of the blood were almost
exactly those which the Egyptians had
taught many centuries earlier.
On one remarkable means of treat
ment for incipient valvular disease of the
heart which these long-forgotten Nile
doctors taught DR.. Cation laid great
stress. 1t was the method recommended
at least 1000 years ago to let the heart
have as much rest as possible-a wise
Injunction, said the Harveian orator,

that after death he was reputed the son
OF the supreme deity. Ptah-all this and
