CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec. 1S.-
Because her husband refused to kiss
her before going to work, Cora Pey.

woman who lived near by. He picked
up his hat and left the house and
she followed but seeing he would not
return, ran back to tho house and
secured the gun from her table.
According 20 the statement of wit

shooting, but she had managed to re.
tain possession of the gun and pulled
the trigger.

sAVAGEs.

LONDON, Dec. 18.-Additional de
tails are now on hand about the recent
severe fighting up the Ethlope river
in southern Nigeria with the Kwale
tribe. A British column about 60
strong, with three whites, went up the
river in steam launch to arrest an
important man Of the Kwale tribe
who had murdered some Sobo trad
ers. After leaving the launch the
troops had to march several miles,
They were attacked by about 1000 Of
the enemy armed with fiint.lOck guns,
old Snyders and other weapons. The
British force returned the fire ana
checked the advance Of the natives.
The Maxim gun, however, 1ammed and
had to be taken to the rear. The Brit
lsh force then resorted to VOlley hrN
ing and fell back gradually towards
the river where the steam launch was
waiting. uo LuEoo WHO WOhI, VI

LIGHTNING ROD
AGENTS KICK ON TAX.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec, IS
The intention to test the right Of the
State to tax lightning rod agents will
lie dormant for few weeks at least.
An effort was made to bring the mat,
ter before the Supreme Court of Ap-
peals last week by an attorney for
the lightning rod people. but as there
had been no arrests made there was
no specific case to be heard and the
matter was postponed until a later
dato when the test will be made.
It Is understood that Tax Commits
sloner Dillon is OF the opinion that
the tax on agents from other States is
unconstitutional. but believes that a.
. ministerial oflcer he must enforce
the law until there Is 4 decision from
the Interpreting tribunal Of the State.

As an offset to the stories recently told
us of the suffering there is among Lon
don's poor comes the account of some OF
the holdings of the city's most opulent
beggars. Paradoxical though that may
seem it is, nevertheless, plain statement
of fact That begging not only pays but
that in the calling one may actually gather
plums is revealed in a search recently
made into the circumstances OF some ar
rested beggars. All OF them had large
sums of money about them and most OF
them showed the possession of bank ac-
counts more or less handsome. 1t may
seem a bit strange that this CONDITION
should exist among beggars, and possibly
it could not be found in other cities. Lon
doners OF the well-to-do class respond
quickly to the individual appeal; In fact
they must be easy or one Of the beggars
help up for inspection could never nave
gained wealth through only one bit OF
capital in the form of a sign on his breast
describing him as a blind freshman born
in Devonshire, anxious to return to his
native town.-[Boston Transcript.
