AFFRAY ON WASHINGTON
STREET CAR.
NEGRO BULLY NAY DIE
En- Route to Deliver Temperance
Lecture, Southerner Has Des-
perate Encounter With IA
Drunken Black.

Washington, March 2S.-In a des-
perate affray on Pennsylvania av-
enue car last night, a negro and a
white man were shot by Congress
man Thomas ], Hefin of Alabama.
Thomas Lumby the negro, was shot
in the head and is in a critical con-
dition and Thomas McCreary, a New
York horse trainer. is suffering from
a wound in the leg. The shooting of
| McCreary was accidental. Mr. Hef1in
was arrested and taken to the Sixth
street police station where a charge
of assault with intent to kill was
placed against him. Later he was
released on $4,000 bail.
The shooting occurred shortly af-
ter o'clock as the car reached the
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Sixth street, bound for Capitol hill.
Congressman Hefin, accompanied by
Congressman Edwin j. Ellerbe of
South Carolina, had boarded the
traction car at Twelfth street and
Pennsylvania avenue. Mr.. Heflin be-
ing on his way to give a temperance
lecture at the Metropolitan Method
list Episcopal church, Four and a
Half street and John Marshall place.
Upon boarding the car he observ-
ed two negro passengers, one of
whom was Thomas Lumby and who
was in the act of taking a drink from
bottle of whiskey There We're a
number of other passengers includ-
ing several ladies. Mr.. Heflin says
he demonstrated with Lumby and
asked him to stop drinking.
The other negro, who was sober,
attempted to take the bottle away
from his friend, but failed. 1t is said
that Lumby became offended at Mr.
Helms remonstrances and applied
vile epithets.
AS the car reached Sixth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, Hetiin and
Lumby were engaged in a desperate
struggle Mr.. Hetiin, who is a large,
powerful man, succeeded in throwing
Lumby off the car as it came to a
standstill Most of the occupants of
the car hastily alighted, including
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas McCreary. The
negro fell to the ground on being
pushed off the car. He arose and, it
is said, began cursing Mr. Hef1in
again and made motion for his hip
pocket as if to draw weapon where
upon Mr.. Hefiin fired at him through
the car window missing the negro
and hitting McCreary, who was
about twenty feet from the car. Mr..
Hef1in fired once or twice again, one
of the shots striking Lumby in the
head above the ear. Lumby ran a
short distance and fell An ambul-
ance was called and he was taken to
the emergency hospital.

Why in the world should any

deserted we cannot imagine the fun
of shooting at it when the marksman
could never know whether he hit il
or not, and there is generally some

satisfaction in noting that a Yer

CURE FOR ScALY LEG.
Coal Oil Used Alone Is Too Severe
a Treatment

Coal oil alone is little used for scaly
leg. II Is too severe a treatment. Coal
oil with raw linseed oil Is very com.
monty used, and is an excellent rem
edy much more easily applied than
anything that has to be rubbed in. Sui
phur and lard, or even lard alone, is
good. Whether it is better than coal
oil and linseed oil, | can not say. The
latter mixture certainly Is efficacious
and very easily applied. For the
former a half and half mixture is good.
II more time can be taken, use about
two parts linseed to one part coal oil.
II you are in a hurry, take a stiff old
toothbrush, and rub off as much of the
scale as can be taken off readily IN
this way, then dip legs to the hook in
the oil. If you are not, says Farm
Poultry, at intervals of a few days 20
through the affected flock at night, and
dip the feet of every hen, holding her
with feet in the oil just an instant,
letting the oil drip from the feet into

BUSINESS EXPERTS.
Every Merchant Should Be One If He
Intends to Meet with Success.

During recent years a number OF
self-styled business experts have come
into existence. They are apparently
the outgrowth of the advertising
school. They are Observation-Disclosures,
men with ideas, and ready to dispense
services at SO much per dispense. One
Of the reasons why this class of experts
exists is the lack of proper business
education on part Of merchants. Were
the average retailer the weil-informed
man that he should be there would be
little field for the business specialist.
II behoves the business man these
days to be In the front rank of the
well.informed or he Is likely to be In
the front rank Of bankrupts. There Is
hardly a battle-ground. One may be
a plodder for a while, but 1t sooner
or later becomes evident that the re-
taller or the jobber or the man in any
branch OF business who does not keep
40 20 advanced methods is supplanted
BY some n more enterprising. 1t is
only necessary to study the failure re-
ports OF any OF the large commercial
agencies and the cause of disaster can
easily be discovered. 1t is the knowl.
edge OF these truths which encourages
the business experts. But strange as
1t may seem, these men who are spe.
ciaiists and know all about how to
run affairs OF someone else quite often
lack the ability to properly and sue
cessfully conduct business for them,

OPEN AIR TREATMENT.
Calves Are Healthier When Kept II
the Oren.

For the past IL years or more Hood
farm In Massachusetts has been rear.
ing it's choice Jersey calves and
carrying them through the winter by
what Is termed the open air methods
In describing this plan in q recent Is.
sue of the Practical Dairyman, Val.
ency Il. Fuller, in speaking OF the
calves and their treatment, says:
They have a row of low, long sheds,
facing south, with the roof sloping to
the north, divided off into about five
sections. There are windows facing
the southern exposure and they are
long horizontally, admitting the sun
light on bright days. There is a door
which is rarely closed through the
winter, unless there are unusually bad
now storms from the south or south
west.
Each shed or pen has a large yard
IN which the calves run. Before win
ter sets in, all the calves except the
very young ones, and those not old
enough to be sent up to their Vermont
place, are divided off according to ages
and sex, and each lot has a shed and
yard for its winter run They are left
there until spring, having free access
70 the yard erery day, and it Is Won
derful to see how they will go out in
A snowstorm, and scamper and enjoy
themselves. Manure from the horse
stables is put in daily. and of course
changed every day, and the calves find
1t an aid in warming their bodies at
night when they lie down.
This system has resulted In produc-
Ing strong, rugged heifers and young
bulls, and helps to make larger COWS,
When treated in this way, they are
not pampered, and while they are ex
nosed to the severe weather of Massa

good sized heifer when calving time
came.
Further along in the same row OF
sheds are the pens for the service
bulls, with yards adjacent.
ut is very rare to sec the bulls in
the sheds, except in very inclement
weather, and then only for q very
short time, and as they are never tied
up. they are usually roaming about
the yards. and the same may be said
of the heifer and bull calves. The
coats of the bulls grow very long. 1t
seems to me that this is Natures
way Of treating the bulls. They re.
main In these yards and pens summer

them vigorous and active, docile, and
Is, in fact, conducive TO health in every
