Singular Austrian Law.

A few days ago the murderer of Mr..
Reid, the Paisley man who mysteri.
ously disappeared from Heidelberg
last July, having been arrested in
Austria, was tried at Feldkirch and
was convicted and sentenced to 20
years imprisonment.
The case illustrates singularity of
the Austrian criminal law Generally
speaking, a premeditated murder IL
punishable by death in Austria, but in
cases where between the time of the
murder and the arrest the prisoner
has been punished for some other
crime a sentence of capital punish
ment cannot be passed upon him.
In this case the murderer had
served weeks Imprisonment for
petty theft about January of this year.

WAS THE PLAYTHING OF FATE.
Ardent Wooer Foied in Three At
tempts to Propose.

A rich widow in Koloczvar, Hun.
gary, recently brought an action
against a wealthy local landowner, al
leging that his long courtship, which
had resulted in no proposal, was dam
aging her reputation and arousing
scandal.
The landowner, NJ. de Szabo, ap.
peared in court and admitted that he
had paid the widow marked attentions.
But, he declared, fate was against his
proposing, for he had made "manyt
strenuous efforts" to do SO, but all
were unsuccessful.
The first time 'he was just on the
point" when he happened to tread on
the tail of the lady's pet dog, whichf
upset him SO that he was unable to
continue.
Next time he meant to let nothing
interfere with the event, and in order
to impress the object of his alteration
drove up in grand style with four
horses. But turning a corner, the car.
riage upset, and the unfortunate lover
plunged head foremost in a pool of
dirty water
Undaunted. he made third and last
attempt. Atsired in his most gorgeous
costume, he started off on his way to
the widows house. On the way, how.
ever, he passed under ladder a very
unlucky thing, and a painter upset a
5ot of green paint over him.
After telling his tragic story tho
Hungarian gentleman pathetically ex.
claimed: so you see, gentlemen, that
fate is against me-. His statements
were proved, and amid much laughter
M. de Szabo left the court without q
stain on his character"

G. Q. RICHMOND

Washington, Aug. Acting
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
instructed Postmaster Ramsy of
Salisbury, N. G., to prohibit lynch
ing souvenir postal cards from
passing through the mails.
Hundreds of postal cards por-
traying the guesome sight of three
Negroes dangling from the limb
of a tree were printed by Salisbury
firm soon after the recent lynch
ing. These cards were placed on
sale. Large numbers were sold,
and the purchasers began sending
them broadcast throughout the
country, using the mails as
means of distribution.
Postmaster Ramsey, when the
matter was brought to his atten-
ton, ordered that all such cards
should be held up pending inves-
tigation, by the Washington au-
thorities. One of the cards was
mailed to this city. The clothing
of the hanging victims is shown
in the picture to have been torn
from their bodies. Numerous
bullet wounds are also shown.

RUSSELL SAGE DEAD.

The Nestor of Wall street is
dead. Russell Sage, the multi
millionaire, the man who never took
vacation, never spent more than
$S for suit of clothes and never
ate more elaborate meal than
fried potatoes and beef steak-has
passed over the range He is said
to be worth from sixty to one hun
dred millions. We have thus far
refrained from saying anything
about the wise old miser until his
will or benefactions were an
nounced. Whatever may be the
general verdict of the people and
the press concerning the life and
success and disposition, of his vast
accumulations there is something in
this mans life worthy of imitation
by the good-time, gilded youths of
the Negro race.
l. The poverty of his youth
and his determination to get some
of this worlds goods, and the re-
suit of that determination was he
got it.
:. His determination to keep it,
ard he kept it and did not let it
injure him. He was far more
frugal with his millions than the
average porter or errand boy would
be with his dimes.
3. His continued purpose, hav-
ing once set his purpose and start
ed upon his course he never de-
waited from it an iota, but kept
straight ahead until the day of his
death.
4. His dislike of show or os-
tentation. Imagine our twentieth
century dudes wearing an $S. suit
of clothes, 50 hat and other arti-
cles accordingly, and worth $780,
100000. Gee-whillikens No pat
ent feathers, no picnics, no automo-
bilesY Nit. Our young man
would rather be dead.
5. His frugal meals. Morning,
coffee and sinkers; lunch, sand
wich and apple; night, beefsteak
and fried potatoes. Whee what a
stomach No lobster salad, Welch
rarebit, dinner parties, high-balls
or champagne. But Uncle Rus.
sell did not have dyspepsia, gout,
big-head, rheumatism, or swelled
feet, or Bright S disease, and he
lived to be nearly ninety years of
age, though he took no vacations,
nor went to Europe. While Rus
sell Sage had his faults and we
doubt not many of them-one
thing is certain. He was no fool.
He made his own way. He was in
dependent. He let other people
alone and asked that they let him
alone. If he was not respected by
others, he respected himself. Peo-
pie respected his wealth, for money
talks in very plain language, and
