YOUTH KILLS HIS MOTHER
Police Find the Woman Died of Stran-
gulation. -

Syracuse, n. Y, Feb. 4.-William H.
Gray, Jr, eighteen years old, sum-
moned the police to his home, saying
that he had killed his mother When
officers reached the house they found
the mother, Clara Gray, dead from
strangulation. The youths story is
that he had been sitting reading when
his mother called him down stairs;
that when he reached the lower floor
she made lunge at him with a razor,
inf1icting deep wound on his right
arm, and that in attempting to re-
strain her he choked her.
Young Gray said that when he
found his mother was dead he was so
frightened that he did not give the
alarm for an hour or more, when
he called up his brother and the
police. To his brother he telephoned:
"Mother is done for; I have killed
her,
Members of the family and neigh
bors say that Mrs. Gray was a very
high strung woman, prone to hysteria,
verging on insanity. Young Gray is
stenographer and for a few weeks
was employed at the city hall, where
he was regarded as cratic. His father
is railroad engineer.

Murdered by a Statue.

The death of ZENITH, the half myth
ical king of Scotland, was one Of the
most curious and remarkable in his
tory, if it may be called a historical
fact 1t seems that ZENITH had slain
Cruthlintus, a son, and Malcolm Duff
fus, the king and brother of Fennella.
She, to be revenged, caused Wiltus, the
most ingenious artist Of the time, to
fashion statue filled with automatic
springs and levers. Finished and set
up this braZen image was an admira bic
work Of art. In it's right hand Wiltus
placed a ever and in the left an apple
Of pure gold finely set with diamonds
and other precious stones. To touch
this apple was to court death. 1t was
so arranged that any one guilty of such
vandalism would be Immediately rid
died with arrows shot from loop
holes in the statutes body Zenith
was invited to see the wonder, and,
kinglike (and just as Fennella hoped),
tried to .pluck the imitation fruit. He
was instantly riddled with poisoned ar
rows, dying where he fell.

The Original Organ Grinder.

When barrel organs, once the usual
accompaniment Of the magic lantern,
came into use a native Of the province
of Tende was one of the first who trav-
eled about Europe with this instru-
ment. In his peregrinations he collect
ed money enough to enable him to pur-
chase from the king Of Sardinia the
title Of count Of the country where he
was born, for which probably in a
time Of war he did not pay above
1000 guineas. With the remainder Of
his money he purchased an estate suit
able to his rank and settled himself
peaceably for the remainder of his
days in his mansion. In the entrance
hall of his dwelling he hung up his
magic lantern and his organ facing the
door, there to be carefully preserved
till they moldered to dust, and he Or
dered by his will that any one Of his
descendants who should cause them to
be removed should forfeit his inherit
ance and his patrimony revert to the
next heir or in failure Of successor
to the hospital Of Tende. Only few
years ago the organ and lantern were
still to sbe seen carefully preserved

gone at least two or three weeks. In
the meantime no move will be made

Still Ahead.

A congressman says he was riding
in smoking car on little one track
road and in the seat in front of him
sat a jewelry drummer. He was one
Of those wide awake, never-let-any-
one-get- the-better-of- him style Of men.
Presently the train stopped to take on
water, and the conductor neglected to
send back a ,fagman. A limited ex-
press, running at rate of ten miles
an hour, came along and bumped the
rear end of the first train. The drum
mer was lifted from his seat and pitch
ed head first against the seat ahead.
His silk hat was jammed clear down
over his ears. He picked himself up
and settled back in his seat. No bones
had been broken. Then he pulled off
his hat, drew long breath and,
Strengthening up. said: "Hully gee!
Well, they didn't get by us anyway"

German Humor,

The tendency of the German comic
papers to employ continuously the
same characters as "producers of
mirth" is the subject Of an article in a
Berlin paper by Ludwig Bauer. The
writer mentions as the most conspicu-
GUS of the funny figures the absent
minded professor whose habitual UNI
brella losing proclivities have made
generations laugh. This figure had it's
origin at a time, he says, when the
man Of letters was helpless person
in the active world-a dreamer dwell
ing in realms away from the actual
and therefore blind to his surround
ings. In this form he has been rep
resented in the comic papers. But
Germany, he thinks, not the professor
has been and is being caricatured. The
professor today must be a wide awake
man, for science is no longer an is
land. These are not the days for sleep
and for dreams. Another abused char
acter is the lieutenant who, having no
foe to fight, is always shown as max
ing conquests where Amor has COM
mand. The old maid is another Of the
stock figures, and one of equal ;mpor-
lance is MI. NeNlyrich. Of the latter
it is said: HE is always full Of fear
and suspicion. He knows that he has
been misplaced, and he sways from
side to side like timid rope walker.
This makes him really funny, and we
must laugh at his antics"

KING AND HEIR KILLED.
Details of Double Tragedy in the
Streets of Lisbon.

Lisbon, Feb. 4.-The tragedy result
ing in the deaths of King Carlos and
Luiz Philippe, the crown prince, and
the wounding of the kings second
son, Prince Manuel, occurred while
the royal family was being driven
from a railroad station to the palace
Queen Amelie, who strove to save the
crown princes life by throwing her
self upon him, was unhurt.
A band of men waiting at the corner
of the Praco do Commerce. and the

ward the open carriage in which the
royal family was driving to the palace
and, leveling carbines, which they had
concealed upon them, fred
The king and the crown prince, upon
whom the attack was directed, were
each shot three times and they lived
only long enough to be carried to the
marine arsenal near by, where they
expired.
Almost at the first shot the king fell
back on the cushions dying and at the
same moment the crown prince was
seen to half rise and then sink back
on the seat.

Only Niuht Air at NIGHT.

Speaking OF Florence Nightingale
and her efforts to keep the world
healthy, it seems pertinent to make
special mention of her mission in be.

the early years Of her labors much un-
intelligent opposition to this method
Of ventilation because Of the supposed
harmfulness of the night air was ex-
pressed, but Miss Nightingale had one
stock argument in support of her posi-
ton, it being the question, what air
shall we breathe at night but night
air?" It was unansw cradle from her
opponents point of view, even if it did
not always convert them, but it did
lead countless number into saner
ways of living and along the way to

Recipe For Makino Money.

First catch your capital, however
small, or if homemade, such as from
savings, so much the better Place in
a steady, secure position, where it will
not be disturbed, and allow to stand.
Skim off all that accrues without waste
and with that at the proper season
make a stiff paste of business, in
which place your capital or as much of
it as you can use with advantage. A
little ripe judgment should be added.
Season with hope and enterprise and
stir briskly with a bunch Of fresh
energy. While your pie is cooking
watch it carefully yourself and see
that nothing goes wrong. Keep up a
good fire until it begins to brown and
don't take too much off the top for
tasting until the whole Is we'll cooked;
then enjoy the result.-London Graph

Absence Of Mind.

Many amusing anecdotes are told OF
Bishop Burnet's absence of mind, but
few perhaps are more striking and
have been less repeated than the fol-
lowing, which Lord Oxford used to re-
late:
Burnett was once dining with the
Duchess of Marlborough after the
great dukes disgrace. In the course Of
conversation, speaking of Marlbor-
ough's great qualities, great services
and great fall, Burnet compared the
duke with Belisarius, the great Ro-
man.
"But how in reason, exclaimed the
duchess, "could so great a general be
abandoned?"
''Ah, my lady, do you know what a
cursed birthstone Of a wife he had?''
The hearers, to the good Burnet's
surprise, were confused and dumb
struck with the force Of the parallel he
discovered in the cases Of the Roman.
and the Englishman.-St. James Ga

URGES FEDERAL CONTROL
Commissioner of Copper atoms Smith
Submits Annual Report.

COMMISSIONER OF corporations Snlth
Submits Annual Report.
Washington, Feb. 4.-Public opinion
has been prompt and efficient in the
correction Of commercial evils when
those evils are stated specifically.
This is one of the conclusions reached
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
Of corporations, and expressed in the
annual report Of the operations of the
bureau of corporations just made pub
lie. Naturally under present condi-
tons the real power OF public opinion
reaches only such cases as may be
specifically stated"
''rhus," says Commissioner Smith,
the experience of the bureau seems
to point logically to the need for an
extension OF such results by the crea-
ton of d general admit Is rive sys-
tenn Of supervision OF g.. re cor
porations, which shall " n sub
stantially the same fer. as is fur
nished now for few ccrpcr Nions, the
essential facts relating to al the grea+
interstate corporations. Whether the
license plan or simple requirement.
that interstate corporations shall
make reports and submit their books
to a federal bureau is of little conse-
Quence so long as the information nee
essary for publicity is obtained The
thing that is important is to arrive at
system which will accomplish the re-
suit; which will enable the govern
ment to deal with such corporations
in the main by administrative super
vision rather than by judicial proce-
dure: whose methods will be pre-
ventive rather than penal; and, most
important Of all, system which will
afford a permanent practical ground
for contract and cooperation between
the government officials charged with
this work on the one hand and cor
porate managers on the other"

The Count Too Touching.

In the long corridor Of an uptown no.
tel they tell Of a certain foreigner who
until recently held court there of even
ings. At last he disappeared, and then
each Of the men who had nightly been
entertained by his flow Of anecdote
and his abundance of witty stories con-
fessed that he had lent the count
various sums, ranging from $1O0sup.
The total seemed so formidable that a
movement was set on foot to bring the
defaulter back, his whereabouts hav-
