He murdered and stole on the bigE-
way, his victims in Kieff including 4
staff captain and a master of the
watch. At his richly furnished apart
ments in Kieff he dispensed lavish hos
pitality to a circle Of most respectable
friends, who never suspected the source
of his wealth.
His capture was brought about by
the accidental protrusion Of a revolver
from his coat pocket while he was bar
gaining with a fur merchant. The lat

HARD ON THE DocToR.-Down In the
National Capital they still stick to
herdics-those miniature 'busses which
seat four passengers. A pedestrian, see
ing a herdic which contains fewer than
four passengers, can always hail 1t and
get in. When the four seats are filled
the driver let's drop a small swinging
sienboard which reads Full" and
drives on about his business.
Recently there was great religious
convention held in Washington. 4
prominent doctor of divinity from Chi
cago was on the programme to read an
important paper. The train on which
he travelled to the Capital was delayed
by a wreck, and when it reached the
station in Washington it was nearly II
o'clock, the hour at which the doctor
was down to address the convention.
Fearful lest he should be late, he
Jumped into a waiting herdic and told
the driver to drive straight to the con-
vention hall.
Don't wait for any more passen-
gers" said the doctor, 'I'll pay you ex-
ira"
Accordingly the driver whipped up
his horses and, in order to prevent any
misunderstanding, also dropped the
signboard at the rear Of the vehicle
reading, Full"
The drive was quite long one and
the good doctor. overcome by fatigue
and loss Of sleep. lay back In one cor
ner of the herdic and took nap.
In this position the doctor was seen
by a couple of Chicago men, who rec
ognized him with a smile.
II suppose the best Of US get tha'
way once in while" said one OF them
"but really don't see the use OF ao-
vertising it so publicly. Tri-

QUITE EAsY.-"Now, guard" said Mr..
Pilkington, remember If I have this
carriage all to myself for the whole
Journey you will receive half crown
from me-"
"Very good" said the guard, and he
locked the door and went to his van to
think out how he would invest the
half f-crown when he got it. All went
we'll till they got to station about the
middle of the journey, and then an
irascible old gentleman pulled at the
door Of Pilkington's carriage as If he
were pulling for a prize in tug-o'-
war.
Guard! guard" he roared, "open
this door! know your tricks, and
won't countenance 'em. I've got the
right to travel In this carriage, and l
mean to do it,"
The guard hurried up; but, wonder
Of wonders, he whispered a few words
to the irascible gentleman, and that
individual went quietly away to seek
room elsewhere.
How did you manage it?" Pilking-
ton asked the guard at the end of the
Journey, as he pressed the promised
half-crown into his hand. How did
you manage to get that bad-tempere'l
chap to go away so quietly?"
"Oh, that was easy!" replied the
guard. II only just told i'm you were
a little bit wrong in the 'ead, an he
went orr like lightning"

SENATOR CocKREL's Missing LUNCH
poN-Senator Cockrell confines his
daily luncheon to two plump, red ap-
ples Yesterday, when the usual hour
for his lunch arrived, the Missourian
clapped his hand twice. A small page
stood at his elbow.
"Boy, take this to my clerk In the
committee ROOM" said he, giving the
youth a scrap Of paper carelessly roio-
ed.
The page ran out Of the senate cham-
her I'D the marble steps and into the
far northeast corner Of the senate
wing, where Mr.. Cockrell has his office
The note was delivered to the clerk
who handed the page two plump ap-
ples. That was what the note instruc-
ted him to do.
A half hour passed. Senator Cock
rell was enduring the pangs OF nun
ger. What became Of the boy VINO
went after my apples?" said he to
Barney Layton.
The LAD, entirely unsuspicious Of any
thing amiss was summoned into the
senator's presence. He explained tha'
he thought the apples were his reward
for delivering the message. He had
eaten them.
The frugal Missourian saw the joke
in the situation. He could not restrain
a laugh. Being out one luncheon, he
resumed attention to the senate pro-
ceedings and bided his evening meal

his old friends to call on him at the
Heath B. &. M. Cos. stables, and If
his mules don't please you, both In
quality and price, then he thinks it will
be impossible for anybody to please
you. 49,. Mr.. Sam T. Folsom Of Ker-
shaw, lost his life last Friday after
noon in a tragic way. He stopped be-
low Capt. Welsh's until the southbound
train on the Southern which was ap-
preaching could pass. The horse took
fright and ran down the side Of the
track throwing the wheels on one side
Of the buggy on the track just as the
train reached that point. The buggy
was completely demolished by the en-
gine and later the steps Of the mail car
striking it. Mr.. Folsom had a leg and
arm broken, his skull fractured and a
spoke Of the buggy driven almost
through his body. Death was almost
instantaneous. The. train was stopped
and the body placed aboard and taken
back to Kershaw. Mr.. Folsom was an
upright, pious, good man and citizen.
He was about fifty-three years OF age
and leaves a widow, but no children
surviving him. His remains were in

The "Farmers'
Favorite" Is
Selected by the
Experts

In competitive tests the Bickford &
Huffman Drills always carry on the
blue ribbon. They have done this q
great many times in the past and Will
do the same trick many times IN the
future.
At the State Fair, Raleigh, N. G., In
October, 1900, the manager OF the
State Agricultural Farm. located near
Raleigh, selected the Bichord & HUH
man Combination Hoe and Disc
Drills in preference over six other
drills which were put up for selec-
ton at the same fair. Z.
Recently the Virginia State Exper-
mental Farm selected the Bickford &
Huffman improved disc drill to be
used on the farm lately established by
Virginia. This selection was made af-
ter a close comparison with every 9TH
err make Of drill sold onsthe Richmond
market.
The Farmers Favorite-that Is the
Bickford & Huffman Drill, Is used on
the Clemson College Farm.
Are these facts not enough to con-
vince the most skeptical? II not II
you will give us the opportunity by
coming to see us we will point out the
various advantages Of these drills that
are not embodied in any other make.
We have them for sale and prompt
delivery at the right prices and on the
easiest terms.

THE FoREs1GHTED GERRY.-"There
goes the man whose grandfather re-
fused to sign his name to the constitu-
ton of the United States because he
was afraid of a civil war" said an Off
cial of the Knickerbocker club, nodding
to an old man in a sealskin cap, who
was no other than our distinguish
ed fellow -citizen Uncle Elbridge
Thomas Gerry. do you know why
our ex-Commissioner Gerry is 80
proud? Because his grandfather was
vindicated after a lapse Of "a years.
The original Elbridge must have had :,
long head. The only thing never liked
about him was his report to congress
that Washington was too slow."-New

LARGEST DIAMOND.
Weighed Nearly 1000 carats and Had
to Be Broken Up.

Weighed Nearly 1,VVU SaratS anu TAU
to Be Broken Up.
In jewelers. circles great interest has
been awakened by the announcement
that cutting operations have been COM
menced on the great Jagersfontein Ex-
celsior, the largest and finest diamond
in the world. The stone was held Tor
ten years before its owner could make
satisfactory arrangements for Its cut
ting, which has now been undertaken
by a firm in Amsterdam, Holland. II
was transported from London to Am
sterdam under special police protec-
ton, and q carpeted room, with
specially made safe, has been provided
for its care during the progress OF cut
ting and polishing. The responsibility
of handling and guarding so precious
a stone may be gathered from the fact
that its value may be almost anything.
When discovered 1t was estimated to
be worth a million dollars, but In It's
finished state it will command fab
ulous price.
The story of the discovery Of this
wonderful gem Is Of no little interest.
It was found on June 80, 1893, at ia
gersfontein, in the Orange Free State,
South Africa The stone was picked
up by a native while he was loading
truck and although white overseer
was standing near him he managed to
caorata It nm his person for some time.
In this case, however, it did not ap-
pear that he proposed stealing the
gem, but only wished to deliver 1t per-
sonally to the manager. This he did,
and as a bonus he received $3.50 and
horse, saddle and bride. The diamond
weighed in the rough exactly 9713 car
ats or about 7 1-3 ounces ayoirdupois.
II is of a beautiful blush white color,
and shaped like the broken-of end Of
an icicle. The diamondiferous mon
ster measures three inches In length,
one and one-half inches in thickness,
two and one-half inches in greatest
and one and one-third inches In least
breadth. The Excelsior has now been
broken into sixteen pieces, the three
largest Of which are 15s, lat and 100
carats, respectively. These individual
gems in themselves Of extraordinary
size, will be, when fully cut and pol
ished, among the finest in the world,
and the value Of the original stone
will thus be multiplied.-South Africa

around to see what had happened and
II he really loosened up.
"I hear you did something fine for
your son. said one Of the visitors.
YES said the stingy man, I treat
ed him pretty WE'LL
what did you do" asked another.
WELL he said, I was going to let

treat, but as it turned so cold I took
a pail Of water and made a slide for
him in the back yard"

A STRANGE HIGHwAYMAN.-"S Solo,
mon H., by the grace Of God, King OF

a very remarkable prisoner recent!
signed the prison book at kief (kus

His history is curious. He was

Kieff Seminary, but on finishing his
course, writes a correspondent, he i'm
mediately provided himself with re-
volver, dagger and a number Of forged
papers and passes, and began a career
of robbery and brigandage which was
