Mr.. LapsIinq's Mean Joke.

"You have named the baby Tetan-
us?" exclaimed the Mortified caller.
"Yes," answered Mrs. Lapsling, Il
think that's what Wen call her. It's
the name my husband suggests"
But think how it will mortify her
when she grows to be young woman!
Do you know what 'tetanus' means? It
means lockjaw."
"You must be mistaken about that.
He says it means silent, quiet, re-
served"

Which is the more respected, deceived
husband who puts his wife out of his
house, or an assassin? At first, while the
revolver is still hot or the knife still bloody,
public opinion, at any rate in the primitive
state of civilization in which Italian morals
rest to-day, may be favorable to the wife
slayer, although an instructive generosity
makes it more favorable to one who kills
a man, his rival, than to one who kills a.
woman, defenseless and ILL.,.
But we must accompany the wife-slay-
er beyond his crime, beyond his trial, be-
yond his probable acquittal. He is a man

Defiance Starch, as it can be applied

Immigration and Emiqration.

In nine months of the current year
10000 aliens came to this country
and $4,000 foreign-born people went
back to Europe. During the similar
period of last year there arrived in
America 1,135,OOO aliens, while those
who departed from these shores num-
bered only 100000.

der which is form Of potential fear and is stronger
than all grandiloquence about his honor and his crimes

rhetoric veil of egotism that the hero is rather he who
in battle has killed thousands of persons in defense of
our lives our possessions present and future peace
and never the wretched man who has slain to defend
his own caprice, his passion his own pride, his
own property. Such man, then, appears to us what
he really is-a pitiful and crazy egotist.

WORST ICE BLOCK

ChanneI-Three Lighters

Navigation in Newark Bay is prac-
tieally at a standstill. owing to the

early nineties has such a severe blow
been dealt to water traffic. Yesterday
mornings tows from New York to the

great deal of the ice.
Three lighters are now icebound, ly-

mel, as was done several years ago,
when the bay was frozen over.

DREAM Of THE
WIFE CAME TRUE
HER LETTER BEGGING HIM TO RE.
TURN HOME AT ONCE FOUND
ON BODY OF GREGG.
HAD BEEN LURED
TO THE HILLS
Scene of Murder Had Been Depicted
So Clearly That Woman Identifies
the Murderer According To Her
Dreams.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June ia let
Ter found upon the body of A. c. Gregg
Ci MT. Vernon, Tenn, travelling sales
E'an, who was murdered and his body
hidden in lonely spot in the hills
discloses the fact that his wife mad ac
curately forecast in a dream two
weeks previous to his death the fate
mat awaited him and warned him that
ne would be eIticed TO remote place
and shot to death. The letter begged
lum to return home to her.
There VAS diso postscript from his
little daughter Mary begging him to
prepare to die, warning him that her
mother had dreamed he would be
killed.
The letter from the woman relates
that on the night previous she had
seen him decOyed TO a spot on the side
or a creek, which she described. and
there shot and killed by man who
disposed of the body by throwing it
into the water.
Ihe woman asserted that the scene
had been depicted TO her so clearly
that she was certain she could identify
The murderer if his death occurred aC-
cording to her dream.
When Mrs. Gregg arrived in Chatta-
nooga to attend the funeral of her hus.
band she was asked about her remark
able vision by the officers who had re-
covered the letter. She again related
the circumstances of the dream, de-
scribing the murder as she had seen it.
The surroundings were identical
with those in which the body of Gregg
had been found. Her description of
the murderer tailed with the descrip-
tlon of Lon Hatfield, whom officers had
placed under arrest on the charge of
the murder of Gregg, circlmstantial
evidence having pointed to him as the
guilty man. Mrs. Gregg at that time
had never seen Hatfield. The officers
decided to put her to further test.
Placing Hatfield, dressed as he was
when captured, inconspicuously among
dozen other men, Mrs. Gregg was
brought into the room and asked to
pick out the man whom she had seen |
IN her dream. Mrs. Gregg scanned the |
aSsemblage of men before her careful.
y, and, without hesitation pointed ner
inger at Hatfield, and related again
he incidents of her dream in the pres.
ence of Hatfield, who was visibly al
ccted by the recital.

he important incidents of her life
lave been disclosed 10 her in dreams

American Opportunity.

bulletin from the bureau of manu-
factures of the department Of com
merce and labor shows that, while the
United States has made extraordinary
progress in many directions, there
still are fields in which this country
is greatly eXcelled by others. The
manufacture Of laces especially of the
inner varieties, appears not to have
been developed here as abroad. The
statistics are interesting. The people
of the United States last year pur.
chased laces worth no less than $780,.
OOO,OOO, for American women are
among the most prodigal buyers of
this form Of adornment. OF this total
more than 80 per cent. was imported.
This is fine thing for the European
iacemakers. who find their best mar.
ket in the United States, but economi.
cally speaking the showing is most un.
satisfactory. Lace-making is one of
capable of development in this coun.
try. and thus a highly important addi.
tion could be made to our industries.
The bulletin in question hints at
something of this sort when pointing
out the fact that the various old-worId
countries make very handsome profits
out Of lace, although the cotton and
cotton thread which are the raw ma.
ferials' are bought abroad and i'm.
ported subject to duty. The United
states is the great growing
country of the world and with an
abundant supply of such material at
home should be among the foremost
in producing and selling fine cotton
products Such information as that

PREYs ON THE STRANGER.
The Man Without Job Finds a Way

other day after his fourth failure to

Ledger II was three weeks since his
firm had reduced their office force, and
as no one seemed to be taking on any
extra men he was wondering how
much longer he was going to be idle
and how he was going to liquidate his
board bill
Just as he reached the corner an old
acquaintance, young and well.dressed
like himself, almost ran into him and
Immediately began a pitiful tale of be-
Ing out of job for weeks and absolute
ly unable to get anything to do and in
an awful funk about his board bill.
Although he did not say it in so many
words, 1t was clear he wanted a loan.
His face was the picture of despair.
