HAGGERTY WAS wRITHING ON THE FLOOR.

HAGGERTY WAS WRIFHfNG ON THE FLOOR the smoke from Reddy's revolver clear cd away it was observed that the i'm pulsive and on this occasion lamenta- ply indiscreet ILaggerty was writhing on the floor i'll eXtremis. Mr. @Reddy the Blacksmith was 1oyously acquit- ted by jury proud to have it in their power to uphold the honor of Manhat- tan sporting circles.
 Trained in New York school of eth ics Ill which the revolver and the dirk were so frequently brought into play. it is not surprising that Jere Dunn took on the shooting habit.
 A Brooklyn man who knew Dunn says: He was an absolutely fearless man, man quick to resent a slight, yet as a general thing he was one of the quietest men that I ever met, He made lot of money on the turf. yet he didn't know how to keep money. He was as good natured when broke as when things were running his way in front of the faro bank or on the race track"
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1906-03-29

writes Null in the Brooklyn Citizen About five feet ten inches in height broad of shoulder and chest, with steely gray eyes, luxuriant black and gray squarely cut beard, small and evenly matched teeth of dazzling white ness, thin lips and face clearly iL~ dicative of a fearless nature, Jere Dunn was the sort of man that people are apt to turn about and look at, but not in a manner calculated to give offense. Despite his faultless attire he looked the type of man who suggests the olG time pirate chief and again the ideal man killer of early, far western min ing camps, barring the western killers long hair Yet this man, who had more than once figured in bloody melees, des- perate encounters in the circles of crooks and with his ever ready revolver had sent more than one man to his long home was for the last ten or fif- teen years, In speech and general de- meanor, as gentle man slayer as ever made work for a coroner
 Jere was an inveterate gambler for more years than most of the pres ent generation of voters have known. In the betting ring at the race tracks, in front of the faro table or the rou- lette wheel at the ringside when prize fights were fought with bare knuckles in defiance of law, and at later bloody contests fought with the sanction of law, at cockfight or dog fight, Jerc was always "good loser" and quiet winner, as the sporting fraternity put it. One of punn's biographers says by way of supplement- to the dispatch from San Francisco:
 "In spite of his tempestuous life Dunn always has expressed the firm belief that death would find him with his boots off, lying peaceably i'll his bed and it now seems certain that he will fulfill his own prophecy. Born in New York his early career is little known, and though a man of the same name was convicted of several crimes during the years Jere was young man in these parts, he always said the stories identifying him with the crim- inal were the inventions of his enc mics.
 "Dunn served with Ellsworth's regi- ment the First ZouaveS, during the war. and the first Killing for which he was responsible took place in 1864, when he shot q negro in Pennsylvania. A bank burglar named Logan was his next victim, and eventually Dunn serv ed two years in Sing Sing for the of fense. But the most noted of his fights was that with Jimmy Elliott in the Tivoi saloon, in Chicago, in 1883. The duel lasted half an hour and ended in the death of Elliott. Dunn was ac- quilted at the trial
 Jere Dunn killed Logan years ago, when the late .'Reddy the Blacksmith" (Willam Varley), Kit Burns, dog fight CT. John Allen. the so called wick edest man in New York;" Red Leary. Jim Haggerty. "the Philadelphia man eater;:" "Old Squire" McMullen of Philadelphia, the hank robbers Big Frank" Mccoy, Billy Porter and des peradoes of their set were prominent figures fin the sporting circles of this country. Tle Logan that Dunn killed was . gambler and thief. The Jim my Elliott that Dunn killed was a sax foot prize fighter and crook well known in Brooklyn twenty-five years ga

or so after Jimmy had served a long term in Moyamensing prison. Elliott and Jere were in Chicago when the trouble in question occurred. Jimmy was an aspirant for the pugilistic cham piOnship of the United States. and one night while drinking in sporting re- sort Dunn said something in dispar- agement of Elliott's abilities as a fighter Promptly q Chicago sporting reporter put in print what Jere had said. Then Elliott was interviewed, and he in his anger said some nasty things about Jere. Then the sporting reporters ran to Jere to see what he had to say, and under the circum- stances he felt it necessary to de- nounce Elliott.
 One night Dunn, who had been in- formed that Elliott was in a sporting resort kept by "Parson" Davies, enter ed that place with 3S caliber revolver close to his hand in an outer coat pocket Elliott was unarmed, but when he saw his adversary he arose from his seat, whereupon Jere pulled his gun and began to fire at the unarm- ed pugilist. Jimmy seized chair and might have felled Dunn before the lat ter could have fired fatal shot, but the chair hit a gas fixture and at that moment Jimmy received his death wound
 It is an old axiom among men of the Dunn-Ellott type that when man has been killed in a brawl you can't bring the dead back to life; save the living And so it was comparatively easy to produce testimony that if Dunn had not killed Elliott then Elliott would have killed Dunn and that Jere shot his man in self defense.
 Dunn was acquitted. The body of the slain puglist was removed to New York, and within block of the Bowery 1t was kept in state for two days The sporting men and top notch crooks of Manhattan turned out in numbers at the funeral and followed the remains to the grave, many on foot, up the Bow cry, and others filling a long line of carriages
 Sporting men with whom the writer has conversed-men who were intimate with Jere Dunn-said that he never boasted of his killing of Elliott: that when he did speak of the matter 1t was in an apologetic and half regretful vein, saying that he had been led to believe that Elliott was bent upon killing him, therefore, he would not run away and was ready to take the first shot
 One day a six foot desperado of Phil adelphia of the name of Haggerty known in certain circles as "the man eater because he had chewed the ears of some of his adversaries. went to New York to acquire fresh glory-went with the avowed purpose of "doing up Manhattan celebrity of the title of "Reddy the Blacksmith Reddy had won something of knightly reputa- tion as fighter. patron of the prize ring, gambler and all round bad man Meeting Reddy ill basement saloon near the corner of Houston street and Broadway, the impulsive and fame seeking Hacgerty, without more than q few words of obiursation, smote Reddy full upon the head with a big water pitcher, such as i'll those primi- tive days always adorned a bar When

In Darkest Africa.

A weird tale of witchcraft comes from the interior of Africa. A recent trial at the Lilongwe court proved that native woman killed by lion had been partly eaten by another native who WIS accused of impersonating the Non. The prisoner confessed freely that he had eaten of the woman's dead body, the excuse being that he had pur- chased from witch doctors med1- c1ne which enabled him to turn into a Non at will-tn other words. to indulge lu caonibalism in It's lowest form as the mood took him.

The Art of Idling.

Cultivate the art Of idling. There -
no doubt that to be able TO Idle at VIII
is a most valuable gift and one which
is becoming rarer every day. The arr
of loahng Is not properly UNDERSTOOD
by the majority of people. Much mas
been written on the subject. Steven
son dealt with it In an essay; MI.
Kenneth Grahane touched On II IN
pagan Papers" and Mr.. Barry ram
has some Illuminating remarks on the
subject in his Canadian canoe book.
There Is q subtle difference between
the views of these experts. Mr.. Ora
bame advocated absolute idleness.
Mr.. Pain pointed out, with more truth,
that the great art of loafing was to do
the easiest thing and that sometimes II
Ia easier to work than to he idle. This
Is the secret OF the whole matter. The
superficial ldler thinks II his duty to
be idle on every occasion. The man
who has studied the subject knows
that this Is an entirely erroneous
view. There are times when we feel
that we must be up and doing. If we
sternly repress this inclination our
peace is disturbed, The really scien-
tific idler is the man who can Idle at
will,-London Chronicle.

patented machine was Henry Miirs'
It was as big as bureau and made no
popular appeal. This was in England
IN TIA The first type bar machine
was made In America. Its inventor
was A. H. Beach. The patent was
taken out In 1855 The Beach type
writer was not practical The first
practical typewriter was invented by
Latham Sholes In 1867. Sholes had for
partners s. w. Soule and Carlos Gid
den, but these two men became dis
couraged and dropped out. 1t wasn't
till some years later that Sholss got his
machine ready for the market Then
he took it TO big firm Of gunmakers,
the Remingtons, and it at once began
to sell ON a large scale. Sholes re-

"Gravedigging Is not a gay busi'
ness" said a gravedigger, "but 1t IL
very old one, and many curious super
stitions surround 1t. One Of these Is
never to buy new spade. To dig a
grave with a spade that is new Is sup
posed to bring death in the family with

gers buy their spades second hand as q
rule. Another superstition with some
is that a grave should never stand
open overnight. 1t should not, they say,
be dug till the day Of the funeral. II II

The resin Of the shoemaker and nd
dler is obtained from different species
Of the fir tree-as the Scots hr, the
lsrch and the balsam fr of Canada. 1t
Is well known that Q resinous juice
exudes from these trees, which hardeps
into solid tears. The clear Juice itself,
before 1t has dried up by coming to the
surface, is known in commerce as tur-
pentine and Is In the main composed OF
oil of turpentine and resin. When the
Juice is distilled, the oil comes over,
and the resin remains behind. When
the distillation is carried on to dryness,
common resin is formed, but when
water is mixed with 1t while yet fluid
the resulting mass Is the variety called
yellow resin. which is more preferred
for most purposes because It is more
ductile than the former, owing prob
ably to its containing some oil.

The Orange Tree.

The orange is the longest lived fruit
tree. 1t begins to bear the third year
after budding, and for 100 years 1t will
yield abundant crops. Orange trees
have been known to attain the ripe
age of 800. The orange requires less
care and attention than any other fruit
tree. Its early growth is rapid. In the
first two years it grows more than 1t
will In the next fifty. This refers Of
course to Its height and breadth alone
Its fruit stems and consequently Its
crops increase more rapidly after the
frst ten years.
