MAN, II, KILLS WIFE, 20.
Woman Slain While Asleep, Slayer
Refusing to Give Cause.

Macon, Ca, Nov. 12.-Mrs. Lizzie
Mccall, aged 70 years, was shot and
killed by her husband, Roger NC
Call, aged II years, while she lay
asleep in her bed at her home, 4th
and Mulberry streets, this evening.
Mccall then barricaded himself in
another bed room, and when the
sheriff arrived on the scene and broke
the door, he was found lying on the
bed sound asleep with shotgun by
his side and on the floor lay a half
pint bottle, which had contained
whiskey.
Mccall told the, sheriff that after
he fired the shot he drank the con-
tents of the bottle and Immediately
went to sleep. The old man declines
to make a statement. He is known
to have been drinking heavily for
two or three days. ..a ~
The only words he uttered before
he was confined in cell at the jail
after being told that his wife was
dead, were: "Well, I'm d-n glad OF
it.. for she was mean as hi to me-.
The couple are said to have quar-
relied during the afternoon about
renting room to a couple of young
men, the aged husband protesting
His action is attributed to the fact
that he was crazed with drink. The
dead woman and her husband had
been lifelong residents of Macon and
the family is well known through
Middle Georgia. Mrs. Mccall had
been an invalid for twelve years and
and had been confined to her bed for
several weeks.

PREACHER.CONvICT FREED.
Slayer of Service Disturber Par
doned by Smith.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 10.-With less
than one year of his eight-year SEN
tence served, the Rev. J. A. Kim
mons, convicted of killing Carter
Lingerfelt, about year ago, to-day
was pardoned by Gov. Hoke Smith.
The killing of Lingerfelt occurred In
the yard of Mount Pisgah church,
Gilmer county, after Lingerfelt and
several friends had disturbed the ser
vices by shooting pistols about the
building. ! After the meeting Kim
mons and his brother met the dis
turbers in the yard, and in the quar-
rel following Lingerfelt was killed.
In granting the pardon the COVER
nor says:
Gives His Reasons.
According to the evidence, the
defendant or his brother, whichever
did the firing, shot under circum-
stances where they were not legally
entitled to shoot, but it is at least
a question of doubt as to whether
they would not themselves have been
seriously injured had they acted
otherwise. -....
Kimmons will be freed from the
State prison camp tomorrow.

received notification from Congress-

appointment to clerkship in the

the people of his district to elect

Gift To Royalty.

Though more than six years have
passed since the marriage of the Ger
man Crown Prince and Crown Princess
the wedding present of the Prussian
cities to the imperial couple is only
now approaching completion. II win
probably be presented this autumn. be-
fore the departure of the Crown Prince
to take up his remote military COM
mand of Danzig.
1t consists of an ornate silver table
service, designed by number of the
leading German artists and sculptors,
one artist, for instance, working out
two groups of elephants and obelislSs,
bearing the names and arms of the
Prussian cities, another designing a
series of male and female figures to
represent the months and the seasons,
while still others labored on Candida
bra, candlesticks, bowls and ornamen-
tai figures of horses and riders, cattle,
etc. Under these circumstances il was
difficult to obtain uniformity of design,
and while some of the pieces have re-
posed several years in the vaults of the
imperial bank, others have been cast
and recast and are even now unfin-
ished.

has retired from the army, according
to an announcement in the official
Karlsruhe Zeitung," because his re-
sponsibilities as president Of the upper
house of the Parliament of Baden left
him no time for his military duties.
So remarkable was the step i'm Ger
many that the official version received
scant credence. and rumors that the
Princes retirement was due TO a per-
sonal conflict with Emperor William,
the over Warlord, were current until
formally denied by the military SUI
perior of Prince Macmillan.
Prince Macmillan, as president of
the Baden House of Peers, has shown
himself more liberal than the majority
of peers, coming out strongly in favor
of an act on village administration, in
dorsed by the Socialists and the Baden
ministry but rejected by the House of
Peers.

Heat Of the Sun.

Professor Il. kurlbaum, of the tech
meal university i'm Charlottenburg, has
just made an expedition to Upper
Egypt. for the purpose of determining
the heat Of the sun. His observations
were made on a hill near Assouan,
more than 500 feet above the sea level.
Ii was necessary TO take the observa-
lions in the driest possible climate,
near the equator, in order to get per
pendicular rays, and at an elevation
so as to operate in an atmosphere
where conditions are equable
The observations were made only on
days which were perfectly cloudless
and showed minimum of moisture in
the atmosphere. The method of OBJ
servation. which was too technical to
be described here, consisted in compar-
ing the radiation of heat from certain
black objects with that of the sun.
The results of the scientists observa-
ton showed temporal of between
1885 and $500 degrees celsius. This
was according to an older scale of
measurement, but according to a scale
adopted in 1907 the measurements
would range between 6,O02 and 6,232
degrees. The estimates of two other
scientists had already shown tempera-
lures of about the same intensities as
Prof. Kurlbaums. but DR.. Goldman
mer's estimate is 10000 degrees.

HARDWOOD IN HALL.

Hardwood floors are particularly de-
sirable i'm a hail, since here is the
greatest amount of tracking from the
outside and it is difficult to keep car
pets free from mud and dirt. There
is saving of labor. therefore, in the
use of hall rugs that can be taken out
frequently and cleaned, the stairs be-
ing left bare. only large and heavy
rugs should he used at the foot of the
stairs. so that there shall be no slid
ing under the feet. Many feel that the
ease in caring for the ncarpeted stairs
does not compensate for the added
noise of constantly tramping feet; If
this is the case a medium course may
be adopted. and that is to lay a strip
of plan carpet filling through the cen
ter of the stairs. leaving a border of
bare wood showing. This is satisfac-
tory i'm every way.
