in old Hawaii, says:
after dinner we adjourned to the

tables duly equipped. We generally
wind up an evening of this kind with

bag containing forty ten-dolIar pieces

sent them with his compliments. One

witnessed this somewhat unusual pro-

Fortune Telling on New Years Eve.

Fortune Telling on New Years Eve.
Fortune telling obtains in rural Ger
many on New Years eve. The young
people, who gather to peer together in
to the future, melt little lead in a
long handled ladle The person who
grasps the handle then pours the mol
ten metal into a pail of water, stand
ing well back so as not to be scalded
by the splashing water and steam, for
the striking of the lead upon the wa
ter produces almost the effect of an
explosion. If the lead congeals into
any shape that can be construed as
like a star it is good augury. IL a
film gathers on the surface 1t means
money. ANY old woman who is an ex-
pert seer can see in the metal and
water sure signs Of coming marriage,
long journeys, sickness or death. The
ability to read these riddles is supposed
TO descend by inheritance from mother

Fulton, KY, Sept. 12.-One of
the most shocking tragedies ever
enacted in this community was
that which occurred near Clin-
ton, Hickman county, last night.
Young DR.. jeff Moore, a
prominent physician, shot and
instantly killed his step-brother,
Van Williams, at the bedside of
}. E. Moore, the father of the
former, who was critically ill.
DIR. Moore had been sum-
moned from Nevoda, Mo-, where
he had recently located, and
Williams had come up at the
same time from Emory, Miss, to
attend the bedside of the elder
Moore. The terrible affair took
place in the house of the sick
man, DIR. Moore firing three
shots into Williams body.
The county is much aroused
over the killing, and Moore is
under arrest.
