Mr.. J. G. Rhoad, of the Hunters

aid was late last week, and said that
the paper had not reached them up
to that time. We cannot understand
this delay. Our paper was printed
last Thursday night and put in the
post Office here early Friday morning,
and it should have left here on the
down train Friday morning, and gone
out on the route from Branchville and
been delivered the same day. Some
body delayed the papers, and we
would like to know who did it.

blood stains, and the shores are free
from guilt. What can wipe out all
stain and free from guilt the accused
men, remains to be seen.
Those who heard the story Of the
deed, told by Mr.. Henry Buck, as re-
lated to him by DR.. Bigham, could
not but be impressed by the pathos
contained in those words, my little
wife," and the witness told Of the
husbands tears when he heard the
awful words: "She Is dead" With
his finger on the pulse that indicated
the ebbing tide Of life, Mr.. Buck,
kind, thoughtful and considerate,
said to the little company standing
about: "She is dead; let us take the
body away" Hearing these words,
the husband approached his COM
rade, Avant, placed his hands upon
his shoulders, and there they both
sobbed in their grief. Il am a mur-
derer," said Avant. You have killed
my little wife," said the stricken hus-
band, and the pathos of those words
is sounding in every ear.
"Why Did You Shoot?"
And the question is still unaswer-
ed. Seated beneath an old cedar
the yard surrounding "Sunnyside,"
on that fateful Saturday night, DR..
Bigham, sobbing as If his heart
would break, and Avant in the same
humor, were asked: why did you
shoot?" To Mr.. Henry Buck, who
had acted the wise general of affairs
after the deed, they told their story
why did you shoot woman, sitting
on the beach," he asked.
eve hailed it two or three times
and received no response" Was that
all? Did the men know it was wo-
man? Did they know it was the
wife Of one? Did they suspect plot?
Did they have cause to shoot? Why
did they shoot? Why?
The defense endeavored to show
that the men considered the person
trespassing, bent on mischief, maybe.
Bigham thought his wife was In her
room; he thought he heard her answ-
er his call just after the thing"
passed the porch. Why did she not
answer their call on the beach-yea,
their repeateded call? Mystery en-
shrouds the whole affair. No reas-
ons, causes, or motives have been
shown, and may never be shown.
Mrs. Ruth Crisp Bigham is dead; w.
B. Avant fired the shot. Why? Was
the empty bottle of Shaw's matted
whiskey the cause?
Mystery of the Coat.
The testimony shows that Mrs. Big
ham had on a long rain-coat when she
received the load of shot in her back.
Men who saw the coat then say it had
but one hole in it, small, indicating
close range. Now the coat has four
holes, large; even larger than the one
original hole. What has transpired?
Who has had the coat? If the other
holes have been made since, why was
it done? To show that the shooting
was at long range? There is no
answer.

To Save Our Eyes.

From the Technical World Magazine.
There is a biblical injunction against
hiding our light under a bushel." Yet

source of light with a metal shade that
looks very much like a small bushel

upon the eye of the direct rays from
oi.r modern brilliant light SOURCES. This
has been made more evident by the intro
duction and general use Of the new high
candle-power metallic filament incandes-
cent lamps There have, therefore. been
many attempts to devise a method OF
interior illumination by which the rays
are reflected once at least before reach
ing the eye.
There is a considerable number Of in
stalfations in which this indirect fllumi-
nation is applied in different ways. the
most successful heretofore being that In
which the light is hidden behind brack-
cts around the edge of the room and re-
f1ected toward the ceiling. II has been
very limited in application. owing to the
loss or absorption OF light by the re-
fleeing surfaces but where the expense
is not considered very pleasing results
were produced. Recent developments
have been made that probably mark an
epoch in interior lighting and VIII make

Pure Milk and Our Babies.

From Success Magazine
If babies had a vote the milk supply

Is there any reason why babies should
die. not occasionally. not now and then

flies? We are SO cruelty accustomed to
the little coffin and the white hearse that
we never look at the facts or ask our
selves the question. But is there any

EXPLANATION BY DR.. WILEY
MAKES CLEAR STATEMENT CON-
CERNING SOFT DRINKS.
Says Some Sirups, But Not All, Col
1ected from Soda Fountains Con-
tanned Caffeine.

NEW YORK, March 20.-In a letter re-
ceived by Secretary Schoder of the Ameri-
can Bottlers' Protective Association, DIR.
Harvey w. Wiley. chief Of the bureau Of
chemistry Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. today corrected recently published
statements credited to him to the effect
that all soft drinks contained caffeine.
THE statements reported to have been
made by me in my address before the
students OF the Holy Cross Academy in
Washington are misrepresented,' DIR.
Wiley wrote What / did say was that
parents often forbid their children to use
coffee and tea at home and yet they were
allowed to get caffeine at the soda foun-
tains which is the most injurious part
of coffee and tea.
II did not say that all soft drinks con-
tain caffeine. but / did say that we had
collected 100 sirups sold at soda foun-
tains which contained caffeine The caf-
feline products are sold to the consumer
without any notice that they contain caf-
feline, and caffeine In it's pure form In
such drinks is much more deadly than
when combined naturally with coffee and
tea"
The foregoing statement Is In line with
the remarks made by DR.. Wiley before
the Society for the Study OF Alcoholism
that met here last week He said ther
that an analysis OF 100 sirups from soda
fountains showed the presence OF caf-
feline and declared that many OF the
popular so-called 'soft drinks contain
dangerous drugs that tend to form the
drug habit In the consumer.
His address before the Holy Cross Acad-
envy students was made on the 18th in
slant At that time he advised his hear
ers to abstain from the use Of such slim
ulants He bade them beware OF soft
drinks, saying:
1T will surprise you to know that most
Of them contain more caffeine than coffee,
and a drug which is more deadly"

DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL
BALKAN SITUATION AVOIDED

ST. PETERSBURG. March 2O.-The ex-
traordinary council at Tsarskoe-Selo yes
terday was not, a. generally conjectured.
for the consideration of the Balkan situa-
ton; the time was devoted to the discus
sion Of the situations in Finland and In
the Caucasus. The emperor asked his
ministers for their opinion regarding the
proposal to abolish the existing viceroy-
atty Of the Caucasus. and he consulted
them concerning the steps to be taken in
Finland, where the refusal OF the senate
to promulgate law alloting lands to
tenant farmers has precipitated q crisis.
There is reason to believe that the pres.
ent coalition Finnish senate will resign
ana that 1t will be succeeded by q sen
ate Of the Old Films. who were in powe,
during tn eregime Of Governor General
Bobrikon. The situation at Helsingfors
is such that the positions Of both Gen
Boekman. governor general Of the grand
duchy. and NJ. Langhofk. state secretary
for Finland. are insecure.
Alliance With England.
It Is learned that among other things
discussed at the special state council was
an important communication from Eng.
land. which is tantamount to q proposal
for q political and financial alliance be-
tween Russia and Great Britain.
The communication promised a market
for Russian loans In case OF hostilittes
and cooperation in other ways.
Alleged Interview Denied.
The Belgrade correspondent Of the
Bourse Gazette says in q dispatch that
M. Mdlovanovics, the foreign minister.
told him today that 9ervia has accepted
the advice Of the powers to ddsarm. 6ervia
considers the action Of the powers to be
a guaranty. and she no longer has rea-
son to fear armed attack from any side.
The Russian foreign Office has no ad-
vices confirming this alleged interview
with NJ. Miiovanovics. On the contrary
the statement was made tonight that no
representations to that effect had been
made in Belgrade.
Ask Austria to Wait.
BERLIN. March 20.-According to a dis
patch to the Frankfurter Zeitung from
Vienna the powers have expressed the
wish that Austria Hungary would de.
lay answering Servia'e note, In order tt
gain time for consultation among them
selves and to permit further action al
Belgrade. The Vienna cabinet is willing
to act accordingly. says the dispatch, anG

to wait until the end Of the month before
