Hancock Case the Cause of Liyeiines
 in Maryland Town.

Hancock Case the Cause of Liyeiinesa in Maryland Town. Washington, Oct. 16.--The decision of Coroner Carr of Fayetteville, Md. to conduct behind closed doors the in- yestigation into the death of Emma Smallwood, for which Winfield Scott Hancock, a nephew of General Winfield Scott Hancock, was arrested on a charge of murder, a lively time be- tween States Attorney Magrunder and Robert L. Wells. defendants counsel. and a fistic encounter between Attor- ney Wells and a spectator in which his father, Mayor Charles A. Wells, par tieipated today, added interest to the case.
 The ordering of secret sessions by the coroner gave rise to the rumors that sensational evidence would be ad- duced at the hearing. This decision was the outcome of a contention by the States attorney that newspaper men and the public generally should be excluded from hearing any of the testimony.
 Attorney Wells bitterly opposed the proposition and declared that unless the Investigation was an open one he would apply for a writ of habeas corpus and bring his client before the court for preliminary nearing. The session of the jury was adjourned until to- morrow.
 A warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Mary Mackall the defendants sister, was prepared. but was not served as the constable refused to swear to it, talk ing the ground that he did not hear the evidence upon which it was ordered.

Sometimes as age comes to people there is sioughing away of the small courtesies or charms a< manner. Yet the younger folks who observe such lapses of manner may. many of them, even now be forming habits that age will confirm and which will prove quite as objectionable as those which today they critically notice. The way" of youth becomes second nature with age.
 Sn, after all. are not the habits of others who are older than We excel lent object lssons to us who are daily forming habits. They may teach us to avoid the small lapses of good breed ing, the little needless tricks in which We are sometimes tempted to indulge.
 When one is no longer young she is not always schoolable, and young peo- pie are too respectful to attempt it.. With each of us rests the responsibil- ity of keeping our manners to the mark of perfect breeding.

 A. T. Claim, who operates 20o-acre farm northwest of Macon, saa deather and crop report dating back to ls4o, at which time 1t was started by ms father When the old gentleman dlea the son found the record and continued it. He claims that it has demonstrates almost to a mathematical certainty that the seasons wary regularly, 10 use a somewhat paradoxical term, ana that a farmrr could safely operate with a third less capital by recording the character of the seasons and thus becoming his own weather prophet.
 According to this record or sixty five years" said Mir. Glahn. the years ending with five have been rainy with but two exceptions. What was known as the locust year occurred in 1855. It rained considerably in April, but the summer was very dry. There was damp harvest in 1885. but no heavy rains. Those years are the only excep- tions in this latitude. The year lS6S was characterized by extensive floods, and the same was true of 1875. The harvest crop record for this seetion during the half century was made Tn 1895. This present year will be re- markable for it's corn crop, though pos s.bl ysome will bedrownsd out onI  the bottoms.
 The record shows the dry years have been the even years, the only excep- tion being, in the sevens, which were also dry. The years ending with two have been the best for vegetables and corn. They are what I call the lazy farmers years. Nature seems to be at her kindest, and but little labor is need ed to produce abundant crops. The years ending with four and six have been difficult on account of a great deal of spring rains and cold weather.
 "The advantage of a crop record is that 1t enables ore to calculate ahead with fair degree of certainty. For instance, he will not make heavy pur- chases of stock. expecting to feed on corn raised in a year ending with four or six; he will not risk a great acreage on river bottoms it the Ayes; he will be careful to carry over a supply of feed for the sevens. lest the drought cut his crop short.
 Tn my time the weather dairy has saved me thousands of dollars, and I consiis~ the time spentin keeping it up as valuable as any other work about the farm ]"

The gospel of happiness Is one that ever ywoman should lay to heart. What it means to a man to come home at night to a cheerful wife no one but he who has had to fight the hard battle of life knows. If he Is pros porous 1t is an added joy; but 1t is in misfrtune that 1t shines like star in the darkness. A complaining wife can kill the least bit of hope and cour- age in sorely troubled heart, while cheerful one gives new courage to begin the fight over again.

 This Is the case in which United states Judge Speer interfered with the sentence of prisoner, Jamison, by a Recorders Court of Macon. Ga. to work on the streets The reversal of the case hls the effect of sustaining the lccal court.
 The opinion of the court, rendered one week from the day of argument. was the occasion of some speculation. It was contained in few words only. and contrary to the usual custom was not even reduced to writing.
