Albert Garner at Alabama City Claims
 Shooting Was Accidental.

Gadsden, December 23.-(Special )--Al- bert Garner. a negro, was placed in jail Saturday on charge of murdering ne- gro woman named Lonnie Borders, at Alabama City Friday night. The woman was shot through the head Garner and three other negro men who were in the house at the time claim that the shoot ing was accidental, but there are some very suspicious circumstances surround ing the case.
 The men claim that Garner was hand ling a pistol, and that 1t went off acc- dentally and killed the woman. They all live in the house together and she was doing the cooking Late at night the five were at home and just before bed time Garner picked up the pistol and began playing with 1t when suddenly the weapon went off. The woman fell to the floor dead, the bullet having passed through her head.
 Garner and one other man went to bed immediately as if nothing unusual had occurred, but the other two soon saw that this performance would not do and they informed Chief of Police Jared. The chief went to the house, arrested Garner and kept him In the city prison over night. Saturday morning he sent the man to Gadsden in charge of Deputy Griffin. It Is said that on the day before the shooting the Borders woman sent her cousin word that an attempt had been made to kill her by some one other than Garner.

POPE MAKES NEW RULE.
AboIishes Collective Reception of Mem bers of Sacred College Christmas.

Rome, December 23.-Contrary to the custom of the'late Pope Leo XIII, the present Pope has abolished the collective reception of the members of the Sacred College for an exchange of Christmas greetings. He says the cer- emony will oblige him to deliver a speech at fixed date, which is not always desirable, especially when, as is now the case, he has an encyclical on the Franco-Vatican situation ready.
 He is waiting for the publication of the reglations governing the operation of the bill separating church and state in France, after which the encyclical will be issued. Consequently the car dinals today went separately to present their homage to the Pope, who said he felt quite well and that he had al- ready received many sympathetic Christmas messages, especially from Ireiand and America.

MYSTERIoUSLY SHOT.
Boys Were Returning From Express
 Office Without Money.

Atlanta, December 23.-(Special0- Harry M. Smith. IS years old telephone clerk at the Maddox-Rucker bank in company with two other boys Smith Witham and George Powell was returning last night about o'clock from the South ern Express office, where they had been to send off $9O, 900 in cash.
 While walking up Alabama street near the bank they heard a pistol shot, but could not ascertain where it came from. When they got inside the bank Smith felt an irritation upon his leg, and examining it. found the bullet had struck his steel garter buckle, mashing 1t into the flesh. The mystery of the shot has not been solved as the boys did not have the money with them at the time, and if they had had 1t, robbery would have been practically impossible on the crowded streets.

T HE efforts of Prof. Bunk Goggins
 as cook partook of the spectac- , ular. In composing dish of scram- bled eggs for the hungry fishing party, he had impartially mixed ashes from his pipe and profanity from his lips, with the whites and yellows of the eggs. Ges- ticulating with a cheap tin spoon in one hand and short black pipe in the other he poured out anathemas upon a stray razor back hog which had darted into camp and overturned the pot containing dinner He cursed that absent-minded porker from "A to Izzard," from Dan to Beersheba, from the horizon to the hoset- ting. When the vlals of his wrath had been effectually emptied, 1t was then he wiped his nose with his sleeve. sfted some more pipe ashes in the eggs and dropped back into a reflective, philosophic mood.
 'Er razor-back hawg Is an heir of damnation and failure on general prin- ciples,' remarked Professor Bunk. "I wouldn't trust one of 'em any more than I'd hitch my faith onto an Insurance President He Is an imphiblous animal with inflammatory tendencies He ain't | built like any other hawg on earth His physical construction Is like kangaroo with Swiss cottage on his back. His ears lay back and his tail don't curl, but hangs limp as dish-rag, and his back, at it's apex, Is ten inches above the root of his narrative I've got a whole lot of affection and sympathy and love in my nature, but I haven't spread a great plaster of 1t over a billy-be blanked, dish-rag- tailed razor-back hawgl-not by an Isthmian canal sight,
 This abnormal quarruped is a special dispensation of divine Providence to pro- mote physical activity in the nigger race! A Berkshire hawg is dead easy for our colored brother to gather in, because the Berk Is dignif1ed, fat and aristocratic in his gait.

 "No living man ever saw fat razor- back--they just won't get fat.

From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 The gift shop is a new idea It was originated by a Washington girl, Miss Olive R. Chapin, a former student of the Corcoran Art school. and the success with which it has met has been unprece- dented. All sorts and kinds of gifts. birth day gifts, Christmas gifts. Easter gifts and wedding gifts, are planned out, drawn or painted embroidered and fashioned in new and quaint designs.
 Quite beside the work to order, Miss Cahpin has gathered together many unique and exauisitely wrought things done by the Russian peasants in this country the Swedes, the Germans, the French, and the Japanese, until the gift shop has assumed very Rialto flavor, and besides being a charming place to visit 1t is unique and most instructive. Unfortunately 1t is not in Washington but out in Kansas City, one room, dull green and old ivory, the shelves and cabinets ranged about laden with the gift shop wares.
 , The first object that greets one on en- tering is an immense water color panel of hollyhocks painted out of an old fashioned garden, rich red blossoms in which is the living glint of sunshine. Just beneath 1t are many other water color paintings, smaller in size but de- lightful in color and spirit, and odd little fire etchings all done by the artist herself Then there are candlesticks of bronze and hammered brass, copper bowls, lacquered spoons and trays and antique silver clasps, the work of the Russian peasants. There are Dutch pit ehers and steins, Japanese plaques and dishes; Austrian vases of irideseent iris coloring, odd new fangled bits from Paris a marvellous kower fan that when closed becomes A showed bououet Scattered with the larger things are countless little sample dinner cards, score cards, rule cards for bridge, favors, dolies, illumin- ated texts, chrysanthemum fans girl faces in great violet hats, tiny little Kate Greenaway figures in violets-in short everything gracious and flower like
