WAS A BRIDE THREE HOURS
Leaned From the NuptinI Couch and
Fatally Shot Herself With
Revolver.

Huntington, w. Va, March 2S.-Be-
cause her husband bantered her, tell
ing her he saw her flirting with a
former admirer, Mrs. James Gallon, a
bride of three hours, shot herself.
They were married, and had gone to
the home prepared by Gallon. He
twitted his wife about the attention
paid her during the wedding ceremony
by an old sweetheart. She resented it,
and in a fit of anger leaped from the
bed, rushed to a dressing case drawer
and seized Gallons revolver. Not
thinking she meant anything serious,
Gallon watched her as she placed the
muzzle of the revolver against her
side. The bullet made an ugly wound
and the fash set fire to her night
gown. She died in a hospital.

Despite the storm Of protest that has

This action will follow the unani-

The ground which the prudential

JACK RABBIT ON A FENCE.
An Unusual Spectacle Which Fixed
Itself on the Beholder's
Memory.

THE trouble about a man who starts
in to prevaricate is that he can't con-
tent himself with plain lying" said an
elderly lawyer the o~therday, reports the
Washington Post. He is just naturally
Obliged to add corrobOrative detail to
his narrative till it goes to pieces from
overweight. One of the first cases |
ever tried involved a farm boundary dis
pute. In the course of it we sought to
prove hat a fence had once been built
across a certain field. The fence had
been torn down at least 40 years before
the trial, but finally we found an old
man who said he vas prepared to swear
that it had been there when he was a
boy.
"Joyously l had him testify to the fact
and turned him over to the opposing
counsel for cross-examination. He
stuck to it that he had seen the fence
once when he was out hunting. He
hadn't climbed it, but he knew it was
there. Asked how he remembered it was
there, he said that the thing vas stamped
on his mind because he had seen a jack
rabbit walking along on the top rail.
but jack rabbits don't walk on
fences the cross-examiner remarked.

THE DRoLL SlAMEsE TWINS
Meseum Freaks of Long Ago Who
Were at Times Antagonistic
Yet Inseparable.

The famous Siamese twins, Chang
and Eng, were not among the most
agreeable companions | have ever met,
but occasionally they gave evidence OF
the possession of wit, relates a New
York Herald writer. | remember pass
ing a forenoon with them in one of the
side rooms of Barnum's museum,
where they were for a time on exhibit
ton. They had just closed a furious
quarrel owing to a very decided differ
ence of opinion over what they should
do during their leisure on an APP
preaching holiday. Chang was par
ticularly anxious to call upon his
f~iancee, while Eng, having received q
quiet tip concerning a dog fight over
in Hoboken, was all for that.
The argument waxed herce and hot,
and neither would yield to the other.
1t resulted, Is a matter of course, in a
complete deadlock, and the unfortun-
ate brothers could do nothing but sit
and rage inwardly.
What a paradox we are!" finally
calculated Eng, with a laugh.
Here hate Chang like the devil, and
Chang hates me like the deuce, and yet
who a deny that we are Immortality

METALS THAT COME TO LIFE
Lead Crushed to Death Regains Vital
ity Under Favorable
Conditions.

Crystal regrowth" is a remarkable
property Of metals in certain condi-
tons observed by Prof. ]. A. Ewing,
a London eXperimenter in the death
and revivifying of metals. He has
taken a piece of lead, crushed it in a
hydraulic press until no single crystal
of the most t%rifling size remained. and
let it rest for two or three days at a
temperature of 20G degrees. At the
end of this time and under this in
creased heat he found comparatively
large crystals had reformed them
selves. In demonstrating the fatigue
ST metals he placed n grain under a
process of extensions. During the
Btraining the grain became marked by
fine black lines resembling on a mi
mute scale crevaSSeS in a glacier. al
though no actual breach in the metal
occurred during the preliminary stages
of the straining. Microscopical exam
ination shows these lines do not repre-
sent cracks. but that they are slips in
which portions of the crystal have
suddenly slid over one another, leav-
ing a series of steps. occurring not
simultaneously but successfully. Five
thousand repetitiOns of the strain were
necessary in some crystals to produce
fines and $4,000 repetitiOns before the
appearance of a band of blackness in
dictated that fatigue had at last begun
to cause failure. Still there was no
trace of crack for several thousand
repetitions, but gradually the process
of fatigue produced a sort of disin-
tegration of the crystals.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Mississippi Honored.

The University of Mississippi
was highly complimented on the re-
suit of the recent examinations for
the Cecil Rhodes scholarships. Four
men passed from Mississippi, and
only two other States made as good
a record. Chancellor Fulton last
week received a letter from DIR.
George r. Parkin, secretary-mana-
ger of the Rhodes trust, in London,
the following extract from which is
interesting. DR.. Parkin writes:
Dear President Fulton:
Let me congratulate you on the fine
showing your men have made this
year in Mississippi. There is only one
State ahead of you in the number of
passes, and n other with an equal
number. There has been a terrible
slaughter of the ~innocents, no less
than nineteen States failing to pass
their men,.
The successful ones from Missis-
sippi are the following: Ebb P.
Ford, John M. Fur, Albert L.
Hopkins and Benjamin A. Tucker.
All of these are University of Mis-
sissippi men. Hopkins is also a
graduate of the University of Chi
cago. One of these four will be Sc
lected as Mississippi's representa-
tive and will get the $1,000 a year
for expenses at Oxford, England,
for the four years necessary to COM
Dlete the course.
