of the question of the wife who belongs

The keynote of her reply Is, that just
so much as the character of a man must
grow through cosmopolitan influences. so
must the character of women, and this
she secures easiest and best in her clubs.
Mrs. Sewel resents that woman is not
entitled to mental development the same

planned bitterly of the way in which
Rojestvensky was using them. They
complained of not being allowed to go
ashore, and one officer wrote that even
If granted shore leave the officers and
men were too tired after the constant
drills to do anything but sleep. While
off the island of Madagascar he had
daily target practice for month and a
half.
He was regarded in the Russian navy
department as an able strategist, and
the belief was firm that he would reach
Vladivostok with his fleet intact, either
defeating Togo or eluding him.
1t was reserved for Admiral Rojest-
vensky, whose career was marked by
many brilliant achievements, to make
two great plumbers in his last and fatal
expedition against the Japanese. The
first mistake was when he fired on tho
hapless British trawlers off the Dogger
Banks in the North sea.
The second and final error. was when
he endeavored to take his entire fleet
through the Strait of Korea, and sc
placed 1t at the mercy of the naval am
bush prepared by Vice-Admiral Togo.

lies chiefly in Miss Chamblins animated

NEGRO IS ASSASSINATED.
Shot From Ambush by Another Negro, Who Thought He Was Meddline In His Family Affairs-Captured After Being Wounded.
Shot From Ambush.

Jerry Barbee, negro farmer 40 years old. was shot and killed in his cabin, five miles east of Argenta by Jim Wilson. The shooting occurred while Barbee was sitting in the front part of the hall running through the house. The shot was fired from be- hind an old cabin near by, the assassin having concealed himself behind the chimney. He had come up to the cab in from the woods. as indicated by his footprints, and had sought safety and flight in the same direction. Bar bee was struck full in the side of the face with load of babbett slugs and small shot. His right cheek was torn off. his nose shot away, and his left eye shot out. One slug penetrated the temple and ploughed through the front of the brain, and his neck was filled with small shot Yet in this ter rible condition he fingered for twelve hours before he died. Wilson and his wife had been living for some time with Jerry Barbee Wilson mistreat- ed his wife. and she appealed to Bar bee for protection. Barbee informed the officers of Wilson's conduct This angered Wilson, and the killing was the result. Wilson was captured af- ter being twice wounded in a running fight with officers.

Battle With Desperate Negro.

Officers at Pine Bluff had trouble ar resting a drunken negro, who was ter rorizing people on the street He made his appearance on Main street with a Winchester rife, which he pro eeeded to fire at will. Patrolmen hur. ried to the scene of the shooting and just before reaching the point, they saw a burly negro armed with gun jump behind a telephone pole. They called to him to surrender, but he re piled that he would not be arrested and threatened to kill the officers if they attempted to take him. Both men started for the negro, who lev eled his gun and snapped it several times, all of the loads having been fired before the officers arrived. The officers opened fire, and one of ten shots which were fired struck the ne gro in the head, and he fell to the ground with a hole in his head. but not dead. He may die.

FACTS ABOUT SUN SPOTS.
They Often Break Out and Disappear Under the Eye of the
 Observer.

That great sun spot that Chieagoans were treated to recently did not smash the record for bigness. even though il did appear to do so to those who looked at it with naked eyes through Chicagos smoke, says the News, of that city. Some astronomers said that the spot was 30000 miles across, and others that its diameter was 50,000 miles. But even 50,000 miles would not be the record diameter. For, back in ls43, when ths Millerites were looking for the end of the world. there was great sun spot that to many seemed to lend weight to the Millerites' arguments from the time prophecies in the Bible. For week in that year there was sun spot that was visible to the naked eye. 1t measured 74;816 miles across. On the day of tha eclipse in 1858 a spot 107 900 miles in extent was clearly seen. These spots are considered to be storms in the glow. ing gases that correspond to the atmos- phere of this earth. If there were ships on the sun as large as this earth they would be tossed about like autumn leaves in an ocean storm.
 These solar spots are most abundant on the two sides of the suns equator, where they mark something akin to g terrestrial cyclone belt The center of a cyclone is rarefied and therefore cold. CT. Cold on the sun is darkness An astronomer says that these cyclones carry down into the depths of the solar mass the cooler materials of the upper layers formed principally of hydrogen, and thus produce in their center de- cided extinction of light and heat al long as the gyratory movement lasts. Finally the hydrogen, set free at the base of the whirlpool, becomes relocated at this great depth and rises up tumult- uously, forming irregular jets, which appear above the chromosphere.
 Sun spots often break out or disap- pear under the eye of the observer. They divide like piece of ice dropped on the surface of a frozen pond. the pieces sliding off in every direction, or they combine like separate foes driven together into pack. Sometimes a spot will last for more than 200 days, through six or eight revolutions of the sun. Sometimes a spot will last only half an hour.
 The yelocities indicated by these movements. writes Henry White War ren, D. D., are incredible. An uprnsh and downrush at the sides has been measured of 20 miles a second, a side- rush or whirl of 120 miles a second. These tempests are over regions so wide that our own Indian ocean is too small to be used for comparison As they cease the advancing sides of the spots approach each other at the rate of 20 GOO miles an hour, They strike together and the rising spray leaps thousands of miles into space"

W j. Carroll, a business man and a member of firm of furniture dealers, was assassinated at Felsenthal. The weapon used was twelve-gauge shot gun. and three No. buckshot pene- trated his body, one passing through the lungs, and two through the bowels. The deceased after being shot fired five shots from a 32-calibre revolver at his assailant, but it Is not known whether any of them took effect Res idents in the section of the town where the shooting took place one night last week heard shots and went to investigate. When they reached the scene they found Carroll getting up from the middle of the street and staggering toward a residence porch, where he expired in about ten minutes, without uttering anything except that he was shot

 After dad got through puffing and had wiped about two quarts of perspiration of his head and neck and the soap man had told him what a great thing it was to perspire in Rome, on account of tho Roman fever, that catches a man at night and kills him before morning, dad turned to me and said: "Hennery, you go pack up and we get out of this in the morning, for 1 feel as though I had been chewed by one of those hyenas. Not any more Rome for papa" and the high-ball party broke up, and we went to bed to get sleep enough to leave town.

WHAT DAD WANTED TO SEE.

off the boards for over 2,000 years that the eating of human prisoners by wild beasts in the presence of the Roman populace was played out and that the Coliseum was a ruin and did not exist as a place of amusement He thought everything that he had read about the horrors of Roman holiday was running to-day. as side show. and he wanted to see 1t. and had encouraged him in his ideas, because he was nervous, and I didn't want to undeceiye him He had come to Rome to see things he couldn't find at home. and it was up to me to deliver the goods.
 Gee. but it made me sweat, cause knew if dad did not get a show for his money. he would lay it up against me, so I told him we would go to tha Coliseum that night and see the hungry lions and tigers eat some of the leading citizens, just as they did when Caesar run the show Then found an Ameri- can from Chicago at the hotel, who sells soap in Rome, and told him what dad expected of me in the way of amuse- ment, and he said the only way was to take dad out to the Coliseum, and in the dark roll a barrel of broken glass down the tiers of seats and make him believe there was an earthquake that had destroyed the Coliseum, and that the lions and tigers were all loose looking for people to eat. and scare dad and make run back to town.
 didn't want to play such ascandalous trick on dad, but the Chicago man said that was the only way out of it. and he could get a barrel of broken glass for a dollar. and hire four ruffians that could roar like lions for few dollars, and 1t would give dad good exercise, and may be save him from run of Roman fever cause there was nothing like good sweat to knock the fever out of fel- lows system. The thing struck me as not only good experience for dad, but a life saver so I whacked up the money, and the Chicago soap man did the rest.
 After dark We went out to the ruin of the Coliseum, where great many tour ists go to look at the ruins by moon light, and dad was as anxious and blood thirsty as young surgeon cutting up his first stiff" When We got to the right place, and I told dad we were little early. because the nobility were not in their seats, the villains began to roar three dollars worth, like hungry lions, and dad turned little pale. and said that sounded like the real thing.
 I told him we better not get too near.
