Judues' Wigs.

The wig is only worn by English
barrlsters to give them a stern. judi
cial appearance, and no n can say
that it fails in this respect. The 1,
tom was originated by a French
judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don a marquis
wig one day, he found 1t gave him
such a stern and dignifed appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and year it at all times in court
This he did, and the result was SO
satisfactory from a legal point OF
view, that not only judges, but bar.
r~isters, also took up the custom

All starlings have a very peculiar

Cornish miners of half a century

BEATEN TO DEATH.
Dead Body of Railroad Manager
Found in the Creek.

Red Bank, N. j., Sept. 9.-The police
here are searching for two men whom
they charge with the murder of Fred
erick F. Gardner, general manager of
the Shore Electric company, which OPP
crates the traction lines in this sec
ton of New Jersey. Gardner had been
missing from his home in Red Bank
since August % and no clue to ex
plain his disappearance was discover
ed until yesterday when his body was
found in a clump of bushes six miles
from town, close to the tracks Of the
railroad of which he was the manag-
ing head.
From the condition of the body, the
police believe that he was beaten to
death The murder was apparently not
committed by robbers, as a large sum
of money was still in his pockets and
his jewelry and a wallet full of pa
pers had apparently not been disturb
ed
The only clew to the mystery of his
death was offered by the testimony of
woman living near the place where
the body was found. She told the po-
lice that she encountered two strang-
ers who were idling near the spot on
the day of Gardeners disappearance.
Their actions she said, were such as to
arouse her suspicion, but she said
nothing about them to any one until
the discovery of the body yesterday
recalled them to her mind. She was
able to give the police only meager
description of their appearance, how

WAR BALLOONS FAIL.
One Leads Army Into Ambuscade at
Imperial Maneuvers.

Preussic- Holland, Prussia, Sept.9--
Two dirigible balloons used for aerial
scout duty by the opposing armies in
the imperial maneuvers failed griev-
ously today one crew leading its army
into an ambuscade, while the other
crew fell into the hands of the enemy
when the motor of it's machine gave
out. The invading army triumphed.
The dirigible operating with the de-
tenders reported this forenoon what
the airmen took to be the exact loca-
ton of far-extended entrenched lines
of the invaders infantry and artillery.
On receipt of this information the
defenders advanced in a strong at
tack only to find, when the thin line
of invaders retreated, that they were
storming a breastwork behind which
trunks of trees instead of guns had
been placed. Before they could re-
cover from their mistake the defen-
ders' flank was attacked and a victory
for the invaders ensued.
The dirigible of the invaders devel-
oped a defect in its motor and being
compelled to descend, was captured by
the enemy.
