 BARTLETT.

Martinville, Nov. l0.-Late yester- day afternoon the coroner's jury em- paneled by Justice of the Peace M. B. Linn to hold an inquest over the body of David Bartlett, returned a verdict finding that Bartlett met his death at the hands of Zack Siglar, neighbor, who lives about two miles from Bart let's home.
 Siglar was arrested on the charge and Justice of the Peace Linn allowed him to go on $500 bond pnding the examining trial, which was set for tomorrow morning.
 < glar denies all knowledge of the crime. The circumstantial evidence against him is said to be slight, al though it is known that Bartlett and Siglar have been enemies for several months. Siglar claims that Bartlett

nnd several shots into his house last Friday night and that he came again Sun~iay night about 8 o'clock and fired eight shots into the house. At his last visit. Sig!ar states that Bartlett told him if he did not leave the country he would kill him. Siglar, however states that this was the last time he saw Bartlett and he has no knowledge O. how Bartlett met his death. Family trcublts are said to have been the cause for the enmity between Bart lett and Siglar.
 Bartlett's body was found ahou. one mile from Siglar's house on an old and little used trail wbi-h led toward Bartl,;t's own house. Bartlett was an eccentric character. He never wore shoes except in the coldest weather, and always carried a rife wherever he went. His neighbors say that once when an ingrown nail caused him considerable pain in one of his toes he took his rifle and shot the toe completely off His wife left him some cause of the trouble was attentions which Bartlett had been paying to Siglar's wife. His family was not alarmed by his failure to return Sun day night and no attempt was made to search for him until Tuesday morn ing, when his body was found by one of his youngest sons, and he had been dead about 36 hours.

Any man seeking manual labor will be
free to enter his name without charge.
Neither will it cost an employer any

Those back of the exchange, who in
clude a number of widely known and
wealthy men, have raised 100000 to

GARDEN IN BUSY STREET.
Prominent Church Plans Beautifica-

Prominent Church Plans Beautifica-
ton Feature For Its Centenary.
The Rev. DR.. William r. Hunting
ton, rector of Grace church, in New
York, has hit upon novel plan for
commemorating this the hundredth
year of the corporate existence of the
church. His congregation indorses the
plan. It is 70 transform into a garden
the lot adjoining the church on the
south, which has a frontage of fifty
feet on Broadway and no feet on
Tenth street. 1t was formerly the site
of a well known bakery.
The lot was recently purchased by
the church. The garden will be in
closed only with q low iron fence, so
that the people living thereabout will
get the benefit of it. 1t will provide
playground for the choir boys and a
place for church entertainments.
Part of the Easter collection, which
this year amounted to $4,000, will be
used to complete the payment on the
new lot, which, when it becomes a
garden, will have as a background an
ornamental wall, now almost complet-
ed, along the south wall of the church
parallel with Tenth street. This wall
the corporation has erected with the
idea of shutting out from view the tall
building in the rear. 1t is some thirty
feet high.
DR.. Huntington said the garden will
be a monument to the church and a
welcome sight to the millions of people
who annually pass the spot. 1t will
also add to the appearance of the
neighborhood.

General Oroer of G. A. r.
Memorial and not Decoration day Is
the proper designation for May 80,
under a declaration in general order
No. 10 from the headquarters Of the
G. A. r. in the state Of Pennsylvania.
"It is noted that some comrades will
persist in calling this day set apart for
decorating the graves Of our deceased
comrades Decoration day." says the
order. ''This is an error. We under
stand how easy it is to err in this mat
ter, but remember, comrades, that Me-
mortal day is the proper designation
for May 80, and the people should be
educated to so name it."

Tea a Ia Mode,

The latest way OF serving tea in up
to date hotels and first class restau-
rants is to place before the guest a
small, thin envelope containing the
tea leaves Of his favorite brand. The
waiter brings a pot Of hot water, and
the tea is brewed before the eyes Of
the guest, which insures its freshness.
The idea Of putting portions Of tea
up In envelopes, says the Boston Cook
ing School Magazine, is not by any
means new. The custom has been In
use in some establishments, both In
this country and Europe, for good
many years, the idea being to control
the number of orders from a given
quantity, to avoid waste and careless
ness and to insure uniformity in maxi
ing. The improvement in the new
service is that the envelopes, made, Of
course, especially dainty in appear
ance, go to the guest untouched in
stead of being emptied into the pot in
the pantry. After filing the envelopes
are creased and turned over at the top
and corners. They are not gummed.

SHINING Example.

When Turkey casts aside the bonds
That held her to the past
And comes, a giant new and strong
By elders not outclassed,
And from a nation old and sick
Sits up and sets the pace,
Then confidently we may say
There's hope for any race.
Who would have thought it Of the Turk
So often billed to die,
That he would come to life again.
So gay and young and spry?
Who would have prophesied that he
The despot's power would check
And be discovered standing there
Upon the sultan's neck?
OF course he stood it pretty long,
And time he had to learn.
From centuries of greed and graft
At last the worm will turn,
And when at last he turned and took
The nations by surprise
He only had to reach his hand
To grasp the freeman's prize.
Good boy there, Mr.. Youthful Turkl
You've surely won place
Among advancing peoples who
Toward progress set their face.
You've joined the human brotherhood.
Our hand is at your door
To welcome you and say you are
Unspeakable no more.

Musical Tones to Be Substituted For
Vibrations Now Transmitted.
Singing sparks" is. the expressive
name given to an improved wireless
system recently perfected by Ger
man wireless telegraphy company,
says a Berlin dispatch. Messrs. Slaby
and Arco, chief engineers Of the COM
pany, have invented device which, 1t
is claimed, will entirely obviate the
uncertainties with which other wire
less systems have had to contend.
The new method consists in sending
out the vibrations which form the
messages as pure musical tones, which
are capable Of being heard by the re-
ceiver, 10 matter how softly they may
be attuned. 1t Is declared that by
means of this device it will be possible
for the first time since the wireless
telegraphy was established to main
tain communication by this means in
spite Of the most violent atmospheric
disturbances. In their passage through
the air the singing sparks win be en-
tiBely noiseless.

A Very Personal Question.

If you were your real self, what sort
of person would you be?
Probably you think you are your
real self. But pause a moment and
think what convention is doing for
you.
Society has such way Of expecting
certain things Of us that to escape
friction we give society what it wants.
But strip away the veneer Of civiliza-
ton, let the real woman in you stand
forth, and what sort of person would
you be?
Did you ever stop to think about it?
Sometimes it is worth while.
Some Of US may be bolstering our
selves up with conventionalities and
artiicialities in order to slip pleasantly
through the world.
How much do you owe to conven-
ton, how much to your real self for
the person you present to the world?
For instance, in the matter Of dress,
does it express yourself, or does it ex.
press the latest fashion plate?
Does your home express your real
self, or is it furnished and managed as
is the fashion in such things?
Are your charities a matter Of the
heart or a church formula?
It doesn't do a bit of harm once in a
while to put the probe into such things.
1t helps us to discover when it is
worth while to assert our individuals
ty and to help overthrow the sham
and artificial things of life. 1t tells
us wherein we are weak and need the
common brotherhood of man to help
us upbuild to better things.
If we feel that the real self that
would step forth would be the cave
man were every convention abolished
and we needed neither to regard our
fellow man, the present nor the future,
then we need to let the rigid regula-
lions of society build up our character.
If we realize we are leaning on the
conventions Of the world, that its arti-
fatalities are creeping into our blood
and consuming its strength and indt-
viduality, we want to dischard them.
Consider the real self that is in you,
whether it is lovable, kind, strong, gen.
erous, or whether it is weak, unresist-
ing, going the way Of the world be-
cause that is the easiest.
What would you be, what would you
do if you were the only woman in the
world and could mold yourself and its
future absolutely to your liking?

On investigating he found handsome
diamond of 2 carats, worth $500,

only theory that Sattertield has as TO
