JUDGE KILLED HIM.
W. G. Loving Shot Young Estes to

W. G. Loving Shot Young Estes to
 Avenge His Daughter.
 LYNCHBURG, Va. April "A. - Ex- Judge W. G. Loving, who on Monday shot and killed Theodore Estes at Oak Ridge, the country estate of Thomas F. Ryan, has been freed on $6,000 bail.
 Charging Estes with drugging his daughter Elizabeth, aged 19, and as saulting her while in drugged condi- tion, after learning of the alleged incl dent from the lips of his daughter Judge Loving drove some eight or ten miles before locating the young man and then shot and killed him with a double barreled shotgun without wait ing for the victim to make any ex- planation.
 Judge Loving represented Amherst county in the legislature and served as judge of the county court of Nelson until that court was abolished by the new constitution.
 Judge Loving said: "When I heard the awful story from the lips of my dear one was insane. waited to learn all the facts, and then nothing in Gods or mans power could have stop ped me from taking his life. I did it after careful consideration.
 No further trouble is anticipated.

The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble SO many persons. are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- ous. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths that could have been pre- vented by treatment in the beginning.
 Nature gives early warnings Of every disease. if you would but note and heed them. Backache. twinges or pain when stooping or lifting. head aches, faint spells and urinary dis orders are among the nrst warnings of kidney trouble.
 If these signals are unheeded. there comes a steady, dull. heavy aching iu the back and loins. noticeable weakness and loss of flesh, rheumatic attacks, weakening of the sight, IT, regular heart action. langour. attacks of gravel, irregular passages Of the kidney secretions. sediment. painful. scalding sensation, dropsical bloat- ing. etc.
 But there is no need to suffer long. Doap's Kidney Pills cure all kidney troubles. This remedy has made reputation for quick relief and lasting eures. 1t is a simple compound oi pure roots and herbs that have di' rect action on the kidneys. It val

fireplaces, . most excellent kitchen. fine dry cellars, with good and excel. lent ofices."
 There were. of course, several very yellowed and ancient pictures of the tavern where the old sinners of New York used to foregather for refresh ment, gossip and politics; and various documents which described the com. forts that Sam Fraunce afforded his guests. The Sons of the Revolution searched long among old records, books, lett W and documents bearing on the early history of New York be- fore Mir. Mesereau went to work. The result has been very gratifying to them.
 Every bit of brick and lumber in the old building was preserved and replaced as nearly as possible in the restored tavern. Bricks of the size and shape of those used on the Broad street side were brought over from Holland for the restoration.
 From an old building in Baltimore, bricks to match those on the Pearl street side of the tavern were ob- tained. The doors, frames and wood- work of the pattern used altogether 150 years ago have been put back, the original floor beams preserved and the interior as well as the exterior made to look as nearly as possible as 1t looked at the time of the revolution.
 Two bad fires did much 10 change the appearance of the old tavern. There was one in 1882, by which much of the building was destroyed, particu. larly on the Pearl street side. The restoration of the building at that time altered its exterior appearance and flat roof took the place of the old mansard.
 Again, in 1854, there was another fire, and after that the building was altered even more materially, Two stories were added and two of the queer old chimneys torn out.
 In more recent years many changes were made to make the ancient hos telry into something like modern hotel. The first floor was dropped to the street level and partitions were taken out pr put in here and there.
 By great good luck neither fire nor the hand o; man did much to change the famous Long Room where the So. cial club met, where the New York chamber of commerce was organized and where Washington bade his of ficers farewell at the close of the rev olution. The architect and workmen have triumphed over most of these diff faculties, and Fraunce's Tavern when finished will be what it was in tue old days.
 It isn't clear just when Fralnce's Tavern was started. It was. as 1t

 "But, my dear Marjorie, you simply must come," said Lady Isabel, T must really insist-in fact, shall be quite disagreeable if you don't"
 All right" I laughed; but tell me who are to be your guests?"
 She pouted.
 Rude girl! Anyone would think you were royalty, wanting list of my guests"
 Well, you see, may be little out of place." said diffld ently.
 Nonsense. I am. having all sorts of people-now, please, dearest. don't raise your eyebrows, and make me feel as though I were at school again. I only mean I am having all sorts of nice people-smart-and pretty-and brainy-and-and every kind"
 T see, a sort of menagerie; and where is it to be-"
 At the Savoy, of course" she an swered; but I'll tell you exactly what it's for. It's to be the very, very latest thing in dinners"
 q think you said it was for a char ity, Isabel; do tell me how even you can benefit charity by giving an ex- pensive dinner at the Savoy"
 Well" replied Lady Isabel, you see, it's this way, Marjorie. give the dinner to-we will say-ten people, because ten is such a nice number for enabling one to put the woman one hates most quite long way oil, and so I think shall make it ten"
 T see and the charity; what is it in aid of?"
 q haven't really quite decided what it is to be for yet" she said, ''but expect I shall choose something for children, because you know how sim ply adore children; and then, darling Babs can give tenny weeny little party too for the same charity on the same day"
 Wont it be rather late for her to dine?"

Plenty of Nitrogen Left.

It has been estimated that in France alone the amount of nitrogen yearly taken from the soil is 600,000 tons and not much more than one-half of this is returned to the soil in stable manure. Let it be assumed. for the purpose of argument, that those countries em- ploying nitrogenous fertilizers use dur. ing each year 5,000,000 tons of nitro gen.
 This seems to be fairly liberal es. innate judging from the above figure regarding France and the fact that during 1905 100000 tons of nitrate of soda were employed throughout the world. On this basis it Is easily seen that there Is no danger of impoverish- ing the atmosphere, for the atmos- pheric pressure at sea level corre- spends to about II pounds of nitrogen a square inch. or say 1.500 pounds a square foot, or 20.000.0 900 tons a square mile.
 Each square mile of the earth's sur face has above it enough nitrogen to supply the entire world for five years on the basis assumed above and since the entire surface of the earth is not much short of 200. .000. 900 square miles the world can go on abstracting nitro gen at this rate for about 1000. 900 years before reducing the quantity in the atmosphere one-tenth per cent.

INVENTOR IS CRAZY
Hammond off Typewriter Fame
 Goes to Bellevue.
CAUSES RUMPUS ATNEW YORK HOTEL
llaEistrate Commits Him as Lunatic While Holding Court Beside Cab of Prisoner In Open Air-Drugs
 and Liquor Trouble.

NEW YORK, April 24. = Holding court in the open air, with crowd of thousands looking on, Magistrate Walsh ordered committed to Bellevue hospital for examination as to his sani- ty James Bartlett Hammond, inventor of the typewriter bearing his name and president of the Hammond Typewriter company.
 The complaint against Hammond was sworn to by his brother, Thomas F. Hammond of New Rochelle. It was served on him at the Hotel Cumber- land, where he had been living.
 The detective who arrested Ham, mond placed him in cab, which was followed to the west side court by an- other cab containing Thomas F. Ham, mend and Albert Bryce, manager of the Hammond company.
 Word was sent in to Magistrate Walsh that it would be impossible to get the alleged lunatic out of the car riage into the courtroom, and the mag istrate, accompanied by the court clerk and stenographer and several other court officers, repaired to the sidewalk.
 Standing alongside the carriage in which the inventor was sitting, the magistrate heard the testimony of Dr. ; Carlos F. Macdonald, the alienist: Dr.. Coley, another alienist; the brother, ' Thomas F. Hammond, and Manager Bryce.
 All of the witnesses testified that MT. Hammond was mentally irresponsible from the effects of drugs and liquors, and Magistrate Walsh at once made out the papers of commitment. Then the cabs drove to Bellevue.
 According to the testimony before Magistrate Walsh, Hammond startled the other guests of the Cumberland by singing and shouting and declar- ing that he had given all his money away to his employees. He is also said to be victim of locomotor ataxia.
 MT. Hammond was born in Boston in 1889, was graduated from the Uni versity of Vermont in 1861 and later attended Union Theological seminary and studied philosophy and science at the University of Halle, Germany. During the civil war he was core spondent for the New York Tribune.
 He was member of the Boston Stock Exchange for a short time, but his firm, that of Dennett Bros. X Co.,, failed in 1903, with liabilities of S152,- 900 and assets of $30,OO0. Dennett was arrested in 1904 on complaint of Francis l.. Niles, customer, on a charge of embedding $3,00O in stock transaction. The case was never tried, and it is understood that it was set tied out of court. ~.

] as he left 1t, even to the Long Room, where the Social club, the forerunner of the Union, the Union League and the Manhattan, used to meet.
 It was not an easy task for Architect w. H. Mesereau to make over the ill., kept, grimy hotel and drinking saloon of the twentieth century into the neat, comfortable Fraunce's tavern of the days before the revolution, but his task has been done well. people say that are keen on the antiquities of Manhattan.
 About all that MT. Mesereau had to guide him in his broader work of restoration was an advertisement pub lished in 1776, when Sam Fraunce was in hard luck and wanted to sell his tavern. In this advertisement he de- scribed his place as The Queens Head tavern. which is three stories high. with tile and lead roof. has IA

It was really much less than the bill; but 1t was lovely dinner, and Bob. who ought to be good judge by the amount he drinks, said the cham pagne was really ripping"
 T suppose you put the checks all together and sent them to the char ity?"
 She nodded. "Yes, and then sent some little notes to the paper describ- ing the dinner, and my frock and some of the others, leaving out Lady Massingham, of course"
 Tt seems a lot of trouble if you re- ceived so little money said; it would have been cheaper to send the amount direct from yourself, especial ly as it did not even pay the dinner" :"
 "Oh, couldn't afford to do that" she answered decidedly, and, indeed, with so much decision that she rather set me wondering.

 Yes; wasn't it nicely putt"
 Very" said drily, especially for an amateur"
 Yes. thought it was thoroughly we'll done," she said; "and knowing what cat Lady Massingham is, I emphasized the fact that the checks had been made out direct to the char ity. People are SO fearfully suspi- cious," she added, with sigh, T was even afraid they might think that L."
 You never told me Mrs. Barring ton-Brown and MT. Fakenstein were to be there," I interrupted.
 Didn't I?" she said in astonish- ment; "how very stupid of me; but then, they aren't people one would remember if one could help it-are they?"
 Why did you ask them? shouldn't have thought they would mix very we'll"
 Well, you see. they wanted so dreadfully to be there," she said, half. apologetically, land MT. Fakenstein was especially keen. and gave such a lot of hints when told him about it, and said that he was so exceedingly interested in anything that I was going to help that was really obliged to invite him, and it was just the same with Mrs. Brown"
 And how much did they contribute to the charity?" asked, remembering with some astonishment the small amount she told me she had received.
 Lady Isabel smiled. Those sort of people don't really care what they pay when they want to go to any thing" she answered enigmatically. And, you see, my dear Marjorie. they did not give their money quite in the same way as the others did" she went on, as she slowly opened her parasol; you see, they really got me to invite them entirely out of good nature, and so it was almost matter of"
