these can find no higher or saner pur-

and meow than In feeding their vani-

Charles Wilson Pcnles portrait Of
Washington, which has been put upon
exhibition in New York, is said to We
the last portrait for which the great gen
eral sat. Peale painted it from sittings
given him by Washington in the Middle
ton mansion, on Poole's Island in Mary
land. 1t was given by the father Of
his country to Sarah Middleton at the
time of her wedding to DIR. Murphy in
1,aI. Miss Middleton was given away
by George Washington, and the Middle
ton family have long guarded the picture
rc!:giously until very recently, when per-
mission was given to publicly exhibit it.
The reproduction herewith presented is
from n photograph taken by lockwood,
in whose gallery the treasure hangs. The
Middletons were one of the great families
of the South. They were cavaliers of
Twickenham, who came to America in
1879. In colonial times they were prom
nent in governmental matters, but in
modern times few members of the family
have attained to eminence in statesman
shir or soldery.

HAIR CUT ON A BRIDGE.
Peculiar Evidence saved = Man Az
VI. cused Of Murder.

Peculiar Evidence saved nfan 40.
cused Of Murder.
Literally speaking, the life Of Hugh
Criggan Of lnniscreehery, charged yes
terday at Belfast assizes with the muir
der Of farmer named John Gardiner,
hung upon n thread. The police based
their case upon human hair. thread
and whisky bottle.
The two men had attended sport4
meeting at Lisnaslkea and were sup,
posed to have started together for
home. Gardiner was never again seen
alive, but there was evidence Of q
struggle having taken place nt Bailyn-
adarragh bridge, over which they
would have passed. AZ
At this spot Gardeners broken UNI
brella was picked up the following dSy.l
and his dead body, with number OF
wounds, was recovered from the river
1923 yards below the bridge. !. t,
The police investigation succeeded III
discovering hair on the parapet Of
the bridge, which, from Its appearance,
was stated to have been from the mus
tache OF the victim.
They also found thread near the
hair, and this, 1t was alleged by tho
crown, was from the tab of the coat
which the prisoner was wearing.
An important link in the chain Of
evidence was black whisky bottle.
This, It was stated, was sold to Gar-
diner ut Lisnaskea during the day pre-
cedlng the night on which he met his
death, and 1t was not seen again until
produced and opened by the accused at
time subsequent to that at which the
murder was stated to have taken place.
The E:edlcal evidence showed that
Gardiner was not dead when he was
thrown intp the river.
Only one Of the injuryes on his body
was proved to be wound made before
death, which might have been infictssr
by blow from full bottle, but could
not have been caused by an empty one.
Prof. Barklie, analyst, stated that on
the trousers, shirt front and the tie Of
the prisoner he discovered blood stains,
which, however, he could not determine
to be human.
For the defense, evidence was pro-
duced to prove that rowdy scenes had
occurred at Ballynadarragh bridge at
a time after the appearance Of Criggan
at the house Of friend, where he
brought out the WHISKY bottle.
About this time cries of distress were
heard by those three, coming from the
direction Of the bridge. So far as the
thread was concerned, 1t was shown
that 1t was from coat similar to those
worn In this part Of the country by nu-
merous people.
In reference to the hair found-four
days after the murder-a number OF
witnesses declared that the inhabitants,
instead Of going to barber shop
obliged each other by cutting one an
others hair at the bridge.
Only the day before the tragedy the
deceased cut the hair of neighbor at
this spot.
After three quarters Of an hours de-
liberation the jury found the prisoner
not guilty and he was discharged
