waters, and H. Adsetts, formerly a
sergeant in the American legitation
guard. at Pekin, has been charged

The woman was apparently stran-

the vessel at Hong Kong, by an
American, who represented himself
as a passenger. 1t is believed that
robbery was the motive for the crime

was captured.

MYSTERIOUS KILLING.
Pretty. Rich Girl Found in Her Yard
With Her Throat Cut.

The identity of the hand that cut
the throat of Miss Mary Sipp. OF
Moran, Kan, is still unknown. The
act was committed over week ago.
The authorities and friends OF the
family are still divided as to whether
the young woman was murdered or
committed suicide.
She was pretty and rich and the
daughter of John n. Sipp. She was
25 years of age, and as far as known
had no love affairs to have caused
suicide or murder. She had many
admirers, but no affairs of the heart.
At dinner, before the killing, MISS
sipp was in excellent spirits. She
left the table and about Z p. M,
stepped into the rear of the home.
Her mother says that scarcely nao
she reached the yard until she heard
scream of mother. mother! An
investigation revealed the girl lying
in a pool of blood.
THE murder theory is given its
greatest weight in that the girl
clothes were torn and her hands cut
as if in a struggle. Near her BODY
razor was picked up, but 1t hao
no blood either on the blade or the
handle. For this reason it IS DelleV-
ed the one who did the killing mad

one. No light has been thrown on
the case since the death.

TROUSERS OF RECENT ORIGIN
4 Hundred Years Ago Methodists
Thought Them Immoral.

The modern custom of wearing
trousers was taken from the military
dress introduced into the army by
the Duke Of Wellington during the
Peninsular war, says the Tailor and
Cutter. In early days these were
known as Wellington trousers, after
the Duke.
When they were coming into gen
eral use at the commencement of the
nineteenth century the religious
world and the fashionable were most
determined in their opposition. A
clause in the original trust deed, da-
ted 1920, of a Sheffield Nonconform-
ist chapel provided that under no
circumstances whatever shall any
preacher be allowed to occupy the
pulpit who wears trousers. -
But this was not all. Some doubts
were expressed in many quarters
concerning the question whether a
man cou,u be religious and appear
in trousers. One Of the founders of
the Primitive Methodist body re-
marked to colleague in the ministry
that trousers wearing, beer drink
ing so an so will never get to Heav-
en-,
Father Reece, a famous Methodist
minister, twice president of the Con-
ference (born in 1865, died in 1S50,)
could not be induced to adopt trouss
ers, and among the Methodist was
the last to follow popular fashion in
this respect.

WANTED TO GET RIGHT.
Converted Young Man Made Rcsti-
tuition to Railroad

The Florence correspondent of the
News and Courier says very re-
markable incident occurred at the
Atlantic Coast Line passenger sta
ton last week, the particulars of
which this correspondent has Just
been able to secure.
One morning last week as the
train rolled into the station young
man was seen to alight therefrom ;.
and at once began to hunt up Capt.
Charles H. Mclaughlin, a former
freight conductor on the Florence
Bennettsville run.
Capt. Mclaughlin was finally
pointed out to the young man, and
he at once approached the conduc-
tor. The young man gave his name
as that of W. M. Edwards. who
claimed McColl, S. c., as his home.
Edwards informed Capt. Nc
Laughlin that he had come to Flor
ence especially to see him and to de-
liver to him the sum Of SIS, which
amount he was due him as a con-
ductor on the Coast Line for a num-
Der Of trips on his train that he had
beat fl ON McCcll to Fayetteville and
back.
The young man informed the con-
ductor that he had recently been
converted and had joined the church
and that his conscience had so smit-
ten him that he was then on his
way to pay Capt. Mclaughlin for
the number of rides that he had had
on the blind baggage on his train.
Capt. Mclaughlin at first refused
to take the money, as he was snot on
the run, and had never had a thing
Of this kind to happen to him be-
fore.
In fact he was really afraid to
take the money!" as he thought
Edwards was working up a joke on
him. Edwards told the conductor
that he or some one else had to take
the money, for if he died before it
was delivered to the proper party
that he, Edwards would surely go no
hell.
Capt. Mclaughlin then took the
money and Immediately delivered
it to General Superintendent A. w.
Anderson, who in turn forwarded
fhe money to the treasurer, Mr.. j.
F. Post, of the Coast Line, at Will
mington, N. C.
Edwards left on the next train
and went to Marion and paid to the
proper official of the Northern rail
road several dollars which he claim
ed was due that road. In this in
stance he claimed that he had used
the railroad tracks of the Northern
railway for the purpose of beating
them out of railroad fares by using
a railroad bicycle and going from
one point to another. He paid the
company it is stated, full frst-class
fares for the trips he had made on
the bycyle, the same as if he had rid
den in the best coach Of their trains.
He next went to Fayetteville, N.
c., and paid a livery firm for bug
gy that he had beat them out Of
many years ago. After paying these
claimf the young man informed
Capt. Mclaughlin that his conscience
was now clear and should he die at
any moment he would go straight to
heaven.
Edwards was not a lunatic by any
means and knew just what he was
doing and was sincere in his motives.

Cotton Condition Declining.

Special reports to the New York
Journal Commerce, numbering near
ly l 500, and bearing an average date
Of September "a, show that the con-
dition Of cotton to be 66.5 as against
1879 last month, and 74.9 a year ago
| at this time.
Drought and high temperatures
have been the general causes Of de-
deterioration The boil weevil did
considerable damage in Texas. and
complaints of the pest from Louis
lana are numerous, but otherwise
the crop is very free from insects,
and complaints of scarcity Of labor
are few.
Shedding general, and rust is re-
ported in some sections; but these
are reasonable features, and do not
appear to be SO pronounced as usual.
Bolls as a rule are opening rapidly.
and cotton is marketed as fast as
gathered; but some are holding Cor
higher prices. Top crop prospects
are unusually poor, bUt a late frost
would add greatly to this.
This is not a very bright outlook
FOR a bumper crop, and therei is every
reason to believe that prices will
materially advance if the crop is
1ot rushed on the market.
