ENTERpRISlNG HORSE THIEF.
A Negro Coy Sole -Four Mules
and Two Horses Last Week.
Captured While Stealing Two
More.
From the Daily Item February s.

From the Daily Item February s.
jimmie White, alias Willie
White alias Jimmie Jenkins, ne
gro boy about 10 years old, es-
tablished a new record last night,
as horse thief for these parts.
He stole and got away with two
horses and four mules and was in
the act of stealing another horse
and mule when discovered and
captured.
He first went to Mr.. Marion
Dorn's place near Bossards where
he secured three mules from Mr..
Dorm and horse belonging to
Mr.. C. M. Dorm. Taking these
with him he proceeded to the
home of William Nickens, color
ed, where he got a horse and
mule. The house of H. Ander-
son, colored, was next visited and
he was haltering his horse and
mule when the noise made by the
drove of live stock awakened An
derson. He got out Of bed and
going to his lot as quickly as pos
sible found White in the act of
taking his horse and mule from
the stable. Anderson seized the
boy, and after struggle, overpow-
cred him and tied him hog fash
ion. Anderson recognized Mr..
Dorn's stock, so dispatched a
messenger to him to notify him
of the capture of the horse thief.
Mr.. Dorm went to Anderson's
house, arriving about 2 o'clock.
He took charge of White, brought
him to town and turned him over
to the police.
This morning he went before
Magistrate Hatby and had war
rant issued for White charging
him with the theft of the horses
and mules above enumerated.
When carried before Magistrate
Hardy White admitted stealing
the mules and,horses, without the
least hesitation or attempt at
evasion.
He is either crazy, or succeeds
cleverlv ln his attempt to create
that impression. He says that
he stole the stock to carry to
his brother in Georgetown,
.'who is a big horse thief ?
While in the Guard House
this morning he burned his hat
and set FIRE to his coat. He talks
in rambling, contradictory man
ner and the fact that he undertook
to steal horses and mules on a
wholesale scale, is in itself an in
dication that he not level headed.
As far as can be gathered from
what he says he has been living
in the vicinity of DuBose's Cross
Roads, not far from the scene OF
his horse stealing operations.

LYNCHBURG NEWS NOTES.

power to arrest the malady, but
the trouble is of an obstinate

ably below the freezing point and
the caves of the houses are fringed
with icicles of considerable,
though uniform length. The
weather is gloomy and threaten

An unusual quantity of fertili-

warnings. The farmers have just

nothing but the interference of
Providence can restrain them.

The conductor on the local freight
train interfered and exhausted his
bluff in trying to prevent the
arrest, and only by the skin of his
teeth escaped arrest himself. The
citizens were justly indignant at
such conduct on the part of an
oficialstrying to screen notori-
Gus character from the penalties
ofthe law. The negro, being en-
couraged by his "Cap'n,' resisted
with all his might, but was finally

When the mother of family is too
sick to get up in the morning and get
breakfast everything in that house
goes wrong all day, from the poor cof
fee and late breakfast to the poor sup
per at night. And when the mother
admits that she is too sick to get up.
it means that her condition is apt to
be serious. A mother will attend to

wall for support while doing it. We

CHESTNUT FLOUR OF CORSICA.
Much Used but Produces Inferior
Kind of Bread

The chestnut is the wheat of Cor
sica, and its -four is used in the form
oil bread or polenta by the peasants
throughout the island The chestnuts
are slowly dried over a small wood
fire and stored until required for
grinding The mills are of the sim
plest construction, and consist of a
wooden water wheel whose axis turns
milestone which crushes the shelled
chestnuts against a fixed stone.
The cheaper grades of -four are
OF dirty color owing to the pres
ence of particles of the shells and
contain between IL and 12 per cent of
moisture. The composition of differ
ent varieties of the -four has been
determined recently by M. Comte
who finds that chestnut flour closely
approximates wheat flour in its food
value. 1t contains about the same
amount of starch, more fat and cellu-
lose, but less nitrogepous substances
q 20 8 per cent, as against ~ to 16
per cent in wheat fiour). Chestnut
flour attracts moisture very rapidly,
and therefore soon becomes mouldy
unless kept in air-tight vessels. 1t
has also the drawback of not being
easily influenced by the action of
yeast. and thus produces an inferior
kind of bread.

NUNS FIRST TO POWDER HAIR.
Then Custom Quickly Spread to
Women Of Fashion.

The custom of powdering the hair
dates back as far as the sixteenth
century and was first introduced by
the nuns in French converts. Those
who had occasion to leave the clois-
ters for any reason were wont to
powder their hair so as to make 1t ap-
pear gray and give them venerable
look The fashionable danes were
SO struck with the novel effect OF
white powder on dark hair that they
soon appropriated the device as one
of the arts of the worldly toilet. Out
OF this grew the use of tints in the
hair. The Roman women often used
blue powder. and later. in 1860. EN-
press Eugene set the fashion of using
gold powder. Rome under the empire
and Greece during the time of Per
icles were seized with a mania for
golden hair. The bellies and fops OF
the day devised several methods
whereby black locks might be
changed to golden yellow. but bleach
ing did not always succeed. Conse-
quently quite a trade was established
with the fair-haired tribes beyond the
Alps, who sold their locks to Latin
merchants to be worn on the heads
OF Roman dandies.
