Detective Cave Arrests Man who He
Thinks is Wanted in Kentucky.

Hampton, June 6.-Detective T.
L. Cave brought man, who he thinks
is Joseph Vending, wanted for muir
der in Louisville, KY, here this morn
ing and lodged him in Jail, awaiting
identification. The man gave his
name as Charles Painter and was en-
ployed at a saw mill at Fechtig on
the Charleston & Western Carolina
Railway.
1t is stated that Painter answers
every description of Joseph Vending,
who killed Alma Kelner, an 8-year-
old child, in Louisville, KY, last De-
cember.
The handwriting of this Charles
Painter is said to be exactly that of
Joseph Vending, and when told to
write Joseph Vending it seemed to
be genuine.
The authorities have been wired at
Louisville,s KY, to send some one to
identify him at once.
A reward of $4,000 has been Of
fered for Joseph Vending.

DESIRE TO BE GRATIFIED.
Ernest Worth, Wife-Murder, to Pay
Penalty of His Crime.

San Quentin. CAL, June 16.-The
desire of Ernest Worth, the Los An
geles wife murderer, to die on the
gallows, will be gratifed tomorrow,
unless there is eleven hour respite.
All arrangements for the execution
have been completed at the peniten-
tiary here.
The prisoner has been anxious to
die ever since he murdered his wife
at Los Angeles June % of last year.
His wife had begun suit for divorce.
They met in a room at hotel to dis
cuss a money settlement. A quarrel
arose, and Worth, who was a bar
tender, struck her on the jaw with MS
fist and when she fell crushed her
face and skull with his heels. After
his arrest and arraignment he asked
that he be permitted to plead guilty
and that his sentence be death on the
gallows. His desire to be sentenced
to death was gratified by Judge Will
bur, the trial judge. While awaiting
trial Worth made five attempts to
commit suicide. After arriving at the
penitentiary here, weary of waiting
for the time set for his execution, the
murderer wove rope from strips of
his pillowcase and attempted to hang
himself from a cleverly contrived
scaffold in his cell. The topping of a
chair upon his sleeping cell-mate was
all thai prevented his plan from being
q success.

One of our progressive county ex-
changes calls the attention of its
readers to the possibilities of the gaso-
line engine for breaking land, and
contrasts methods in the South with
those in the West. This is all very
well, but we shall not jump from
the one-horse plow to the traction en-
CINE. Few farms are in condition to
permit the most profitable use of the
big tractors; but there are few farms
where a good two and three-horse
plow would not help to greater pros
perity. Let us make the threehorse
plow the rule, and then the traction
engine will come as the lands are pre-
pared for its profitable use.-Pro-

PRINCE AND REPORTERS.
A Story of Edward VII. and Two
Newspaper Man.

When KING EDWARD VII. Was
Prince of Wales, and visiting this
country in charge of Duke of New
castle, his movements were very
closely watched by the newspaper
men of the day. Among those as
signed to this duty were Mortimer
Thomson g. K. Philander Doesticks)
for the New York Tribune, and
George F. Williams for The New
York Times.
One one occasion, while writing up
the royal party in their apartments at
the Fifth Avenue hotel, the duke of
Newcastle was called away for a short
time, and these two newspaper men
were left alone with the prince. He
expressed himself as decidedly bored
by all the official receptions that were
being given him and at meeting the
distinguished persons that called, and
said that he wished that he could so
into the streets and see the city by
himself. "Doesticks" suggested that
this was good time to do it, and
that they could slip out back way
and have a good time. The prince
joyfully welcomed the suggestion and
he accompanied by Thomson and
Williams, went out a back way and
took a run through the streets around
Union square and adjoining places.
Among other places of interest he
was introduced to the prominent
cafes of the time, where he was re-
galed with a mint julep-the first
time that a concoction of this kind
had ever been presented to him. He
was so delighted with it that he want
ed to duplicate, but the "boys
thought it was time to be getting
back to the hotel before the princes
absence was noticed.
They reached the princes rece2-
ton room all right, but found that
the duke of Newcastle had already
discovered his absence, and there was
a terrific commotion going forward
in consequence. The duke was ex-
tremely angry with the newspaper
men and he threatened to have them
turned out, and refused facilities for
reporting the royal party. The re-
porters said they did not object, be-
cause the Story of the princes esca-
pade would make good reading, and
amply atone for any disappointment
they might suffer by not being allow
ed to accompany the party further.
They also informed the duke that if
the story was printed and elaborated
upon as they felt inclined to do, the
duke himself would be in disgrace IS

the prince to be kidnapped. There
upon the duke was appeased, friendly
relations were re-established, and

panied the royal party in it's progress

The Brake on Tight.

Out of the Grand Central station

couple evidently from Upstate re-
