morning directed verdict Of 1Ot
guilty. The goods were alleged to

malady that had puzzled II physi-
clans, and when she died they re-
quested to be allowed to perform
an autopsy. believing the ailment
was hereditary and that the other
children might die of the same dis
ease. The request was refused and
the mother went to the undertaker's

Sunday Closing Upheld.

Olympia-The State Supreme
Court again affirmed the constitu
tionalty of the state Sunday closing
law. Following its decision of some
months ago. test case was brought
In Seattle in the form of habeas cor
puS proceedings on behalf of Frank
H. Donnelian, theatrical manager,
for keeping his showhouse open on
Sunday. The attempt was made to
upset the law because the original
bill passed by the territorial Legis-
lature exempted Snohomish County
from its provisions. The Supreme
Court in its decision says that the
penal code into which part Of this
old law was copied which copy omit
ted this exception, is new law, SUI
persedes the old. and holds that the
act is valid and denies the applica-
ton for habeas corpus.

NEWS Of THE STATE
Elephant Fats Money.

Spokane-When the Norris &
Rowe circus arrives here 1t will find
a peculiar suit awaiting 1t. Papers
have been filed asking for the return
of 1895 which an elephant belonging
to the company ate year ago. when
the circus was at Wallace, Idaho.
The complainants, Charles Garretson
and his wife, We're at that time a
bride and groom only two weeks and
were attending the circus. While
they were watching the elephants
the wife asked her husband if he had
his money yet, recalling that pick
pockets were plentiful. Garretson
put his hand into his pocket and
pulled out his purse. AS he did so
he declared that no one would fool
him that easy.
Just then. and while, their atten-
ton was attracted to something else,
an elephant reached out his trunk
and took the wallet and put it into
his mouth and began eating it. The
wife and the keeper rushed to the
scene and made the animal drop the
strange food he was eating, but the
greenbacks were so mangled that the
government would not honor them
by replacing them; hence the suit.

The Marble and the Pencil.

The marble trick is as old as the days
of Aristotle. Cross the middle and
fore fingers and roll a marble between
them. The marble will feel like two.
because it is being felt in an unaccus-
toned way. If a pencil IS drawn be-
tween the crossed fingers the one pen
Gil will feel like parallel bars. The
same illusion may be worked by plac-
ing the pencil between the lips and
then moving the under lip to one side.
causing the pencil to feel like two.
More curious than any of these is the
one where the foretinger is crossed
over the little finger behind the other
two and then applied to the end of the
nose. Not only can YOU feel two noses
but one of them seems to be about an
inch longer than the other This last
sensation is caused by the fact that
we do not ordinarily feel the edge Of
any object with these two fingers at
the same time unless the part felt with
the little finger projects beyond the
part felt by the foretinger,-St. Louis

Then wash the leather with warm wa

TIRE BURST; SANDS KILLED.
Wreck Took Fire-Step-Son of w. X
Vanderbilt Burned to Death.

Paris, July 30.-In one Of the most
terrible accidents in many years in
France, G.. Winthrop Sands, a step
son of w. X. Vanderbilt, was killed
yesterday morning just outside the
grounds Of Mr.. Vanderbilt's beautiful
country seat, the Chateau St. Louis
de Poissy, twenty miles from Paris.
Mr.. Sands was driving his 50-horse
power car along at terrific clip, in
a desire to reach the chateau, where
Mrs. Sands and her~infant daughter
were staying. He has always been
known as reckless driver, and, as
he had been delayed at railroad
crossing, he opened the throttle wide
as he approached the chateau
grounds.
Almost Immediately a tire burst
and the machine crashed into a tree,
turning turtle and burying Mr.. Sands
under the forward part, and pinning
the chauffeur, Pickins, to the ground.
An explosion followed and in mo-
ment the car was in flames. .
Peasants working in the adjoin-
ing field were the only witnesses to
the accident. They managed to raise
the rear Of the car and release the
chauffeur, both Of whose feet had
been held tight, and little later,
after beating down the fire, they
dragged out the torn, bleeding and
burned body of Sands. .'
Mrs. Sands was not informed at
once of her husbands death, but Will
liam Duke, trainer Of Mr.. Wander
bits racing stable, advised Mr.. Van
derbilt by telephone, and he and Mrs.
Vanderbilt, accompanied by Stephen
Sands, went to Poissy by train, arriy-
ing there at 2.30 in the afternoon.
All was over when they ar, tved.
Mrs. Vanderbilt broke the news to
her daughter-in-law, who bore up
brayely under the strain.

Another at oGafYney.

Gaffney, July 29.-Joe Camp and
Dock Paris, two young white men,
got into difficulty yesterday after
noon about ball game between Gaff-
ney and Greer, which resulted in
Camp being fearfully stabbed and cut
in fifteen places by knife in the
hands of Paris. At the beginning of
the difficulty Paris, the larger Of
the two, had knife, and was told by
Camp that If he would give it up he
would fight fair. He gave the knife
up, but had another concealed on his
person, with which he did the carv-
ing. Camp is son of the late Audi
tor Camp. Paris works at the Gaff-
ney Manufacturing Company, cot
ton mill, in this city. The physicians
who attended the wounded man say
that there is chance for his recov-
cry.

SOUTH M sPLENpm sHAPE.
Southern Railway Officials Gratified
at business Conditions Here.

| Washington, July 30.--At a con-
ference which has been in progress
the past two days between President
Finley, executive officers of the South
ern Railway Company and afsliated
companies and officers of the traffic
and operating departments of the
Southern Railway System, and which
was concluded Wednesday, general
conditions of business in the South
and prospects of the future were thor
| oughly discussed. 1t was the consen-
sus of opinion that there is trend,
in the direction of Improvement OF
business throughout the Southern
States. The agricultural outlook Is
encouraging. Southern fruit and veg
etable crops have generally been very
good and have found ready market
| at prices which, although, in some
cases below those of former years,
have been profitable. The present
condition Of the cotton crop and the
grain crops of the South are good
If there Is no deterioration In cot
ton between now and the close Of
the season the yield will be large. !.
AS a result of the general prosper
ity among the farming communities
retail business in most Southern
towns has kept up fairly we'll. Mer-
chants have been buying conserva-
lively, however, and the effect has
been curtailment Of wholesale busi-
ness and depression in some lines of
| manufacture.
Goods Of all kinds in the hands of
the good agricultural outlook there
is reasol to expect a gradual i'm
| provement In all lines Of business.
