Lowell Touched
For $4,000

Joe and Bob Jordon and John
Thompson, colored, were con-
fined in jail last night, the two
latter taken from freight train
about S:3o o'clock last night,
charged with taking $40 from
William Lowell, near Liberty
Hill Wednesday night.
Lowell, it is said, had Just re-
turned from the coalfields. and
was well supplied with liquor
and money. Several other white
men and Lowell, it is said, met
up with the accused and other
negroes, and all were drinking
together. The report goes that
Lowell imbibed too freely and
got down in the road. While
Lowell was in this condition it is
supposed his money was taken
from him.
The negro Thompson, who
was arrested near Pounding Mill
yesterday, had about $50 on his
person-one twenty dollar bill
and the rest in change. The
money lost by Lowell was seven
twenty dollar bills. The two
negroes arrested last night had
no money on them.

Mail. AS was the case last season.
this train will achieve the worlds rec
ord long-distance nonstop run between
London and Plymouth, 246 miles in
2e5 minutes-a peed of 55.7 miles an
hour.
Three entirely new trains have been
built for the service, composed of the
largest and most palatlal vehicles ever
vet seen in the country. Each coach
is seventy feet long and nine and one
half feet. wide. A train Is made IN
of six coaches, with total seating ca
pacity for 26S passengers, divided be-
tween thirty-six iirst-class and 232
third-class. Second-class passengers
will no longer be carried by this par
ticular train in either direction.
Every seat in the train is numbered
and the passenger will require per-
forated ticket. half of which will be
torn off by the guard and slipped, so
that it cannot be removed, into little
clot at the back Of the seat just above
the head
The fittings of the train are of the
most sumptuous description. Electric
light and electric fans are found every
where. The chief feature of the train,
however, is the fact that for the first
time in the history of British railways
Wallets and ladies' maids are carried in
addition to the guards md dining car
attendants.
The ladies' maids are neatly attired

A PARABLE.

Together came two souls at Heavens

Strangers to each in their TRANSPORTED
state.
Before them stood the servant of the
Lord
A shining angel with his flaming sword.
Then to one trembling spirit of the dead
The guardian angel of the portal said:
"Dost thou thine earthly enemies for

AYE" came the answer. Quoth the

Then SAND the angel to the other one:
Unto this man great evil hast thou
done;
For him be it what fate is thine to say;
As he shall judge, SO shall it be this
day."
In silence stood he there, and none may
What dreams were his of torture and

But when at last he dared uplift his eyes,
Wide swung the gate, and there was
Paradise!

Another Device for Preventing Sea.
sickness.

An ingenious self-leveling sea bunk
for vessels, the object of which is
to overcome the discomfort to the
passenger of mal-de-mer. has been
devised by London dentist. 1t has
now been in successful operation
upon one of the mail-boats plying
across the English Channel. The de-
vice comprises swinging cot with
four cords passing from the corners
to electric brakes, which automatic
ally check any attempt of the cot
to depart from its position. While
the cot remains level, the cords are
free to pass on and off the pulleys
on the brakes. The slightest loss
of horizontally of the cot causes
mercury in four tubes to fall in some
of them and rise in others, ard so
complete the electric current to the
particular brake required to be put
in operation DO check the further
loss of horizontallty. The loss of
level from the variation of the posi-
ton taken by the passenger is auto
matically Compensated; water being
practically the same specific gravity
as the human body, heavy man will
press more water to the foot of spe-
cially-designed water bed than light
weight, as also from side to side.

about the dust spraying school Is that

and used in this country since 1854.
Many formulas for the preparation

HOW THEY SQUARED 1T.

~ NE day, after Deacon Albright
II u had been widower for year,
he came home from the village,
half mile away, to be told by his
sister Sarah, who was keeping house
for him, that COW had broken down
the fence and got into the corntield.
Whose COW is it!' was the natural
inquiry.
~ dunno, but think it is the wilder
GREEN'S. l think it's that new cow
she bought about three months ago"
And why didn't you go down and
drive her out!"
You know why. I've got the rheu-
matism SO can hardly get around the
house. / couldn't chase COW a rod
If my life depended on it."
The widow Green, living next west
of the deacon's, had been widow for
three years, and it was COMMON talk
when Mrs. Albright passed away that
she and the widower would make a
match of it. The deacon had called
occasionally, and had always been very
good about lending tools and giving
advice, but neither party had thought
Of the idea of marriage-not yet.
In early spring the widow had
bought COW, and that COW had jump
ed every fence on the deacon's land
within two weeks, but he had always
driven her back home without word
of complaint. On this occasion. how
ever, the bovine had not only torn
down rod of fence and eaten her fill
Of juicy cornstalks, hut destroyed in
spirit of mischief, and the deacon
was ve1ed.
1--WE stood it and stood 1t and stood
It," he said to himself as he surveyed
the damages, "but | can stand Il no
longer. The widder Green must be
made to understand that her cow can't
go about like roarln lion. knockn'

He drove the COW TO the home of her
owner, giving her vigorous wllack.

near enough, and when he had reached
the house and been saluted by Mrs.

born in France
63 years ago and was a member of
one of the most aristocratic families
of that country. His health had been
undermined by his arduous duties as
apostolic delegates to the Philippines,
Cuba and Porto Rico, yet despite that
he threw himself heart and soul into
the work of confining the epidemic to
a small section of New Orleans and
sacrificed his life In his efforts to aid
the stricken city.
Archbishop Chapelle leaves record
of faithful and enduring work, not
only for his church, but for the nation.
When he was rector of st. Matthew's
Church in Washington he was brought
into constant touch with foreign dip
lomats accredited to our government.
Through his acquaintance he became
profoundly versed in worlds affairs.
He was true statesman and took IN
intense interest in the progress of the
United States. 1t was his broad-mind-
ed craftsmanship and true catholicity
Of feeling that led to his selection as
archbishop of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Later he was transferred to New Or
leans, and his great ability and knowl-
edge made him the natural selection as
apostolic delegate to Cuba and Porto
Rico. The archbishop's work there
was not only in the interest of the
Catholic Church, but of vital import
ance to the United States, for he did
much to overcome the hostile feeling
held against this country by the Cath
olics of Cuba and Porto Rico. He was
also the Pope's representative in the
negotiations for the purchase of the
lands of the Frlars in the Philippines.
Archbishop Chapelle, as friend and
companion, was without superior.
He was full of "reminiscences, was a
charming storyteller, had very
healthy love of humor and keenly
humorous eye. Moreover he had much
tact. He was deeply beloved, not only
by members of his church, but by ali
who came under his kindly influence.
In his death the Catholic Church suf-
fers an almost irreparable loss and the
nation loses man who was great and
good.
