SLEW WIFE AND HER MOTHER.
E. B. Afford Assisted to Gallows at
Macon, Where He is Hanged.

Macon, May 10.-E. B. Afford,
who, three years ago shot and killed
his wife and his mother-in-law, had
to be assisted to the gallows to-day
to be hanged. He was in a very weak
and emaciated condition. He mad
hopes of being respited until the last,
and his attorney, John R. Cooper,
did everything possible to save his
clients neck.
Every loophole of the law was bar
red, however, and as Gov. Brown re-
fused to interfere further, Sheriff
Hicks carried out the order of the
court. Afford was hanged at l
o'clock, and was pronounced dead in
a few moments. He was suffering
from tuberculosis, due to long con-
finement in the Jail.
When brought from his cell he was
barely able to walk and it was neces-
sary for two deputy sheriffs to help
him.
Afford was given several respites
by the governor and a lunacy COM
mission was appointed to examine
into his sanity. He was pronounced
sane, and Gov. Brown refused to in
terfere further.

SHE'S 1OO-NEVER DANCED.
Doesn't Want to Vote and ScOrns
the Automobile.

Mrs. Mary F. Hodgdon, of this
town, observed her Tooth birthday
to-day at the home of Mrs. Eliza
beth Moulton, at West Wenham. She
is in possession of all her faculties to
a remarkable degree and talked with
many visitors. "Votes for women
find little favor with her.
81 think that the women have
enough about their homes to look
after without bothering about vot-
ing" Mrs. Hodgdon said to-day.
In all her long life Mrs. Hodgdon
never attended a dance. She classes
dances as frivolous and believes that
young people can put their spare
time to better advantage. She has
never ridden in an automobile, al
though her son owns one.
"The old way is the best, and !
would rather ride behind the old
horse 1 had than all the automobiles
there are," she said.-Wenham,

Economy in Epitaphs.

In a certain town OF Nebraska
lives a man who has ben so unfort-
unate as to lose three wives, who
we're buried side by siGe. For a long
time the Nebraskan deliberated as to
whether he should erect separate
headstone for each, commemorating
her virtues, but the expense deferred
him. Finally a happy solution of
the difficulty presented itself.
He had the Christian name of each
engraved on a small stone-"Mary,' V
"Elizabeth," "Matilda"-a hand cut
on each stone pointing to large
stone in the centre of the lot, and
under each hand the words:

Baby Silencer Invented

Kansas City Telegram to the New York . World.
 Maxim and his silencer has nothing on and her baby muffler.
 Mrs Prouty entered the Hotel Baltl- more lobby this morning and placed her 2-year-old baby on a settee while sne registered The baby squirmed and kicked and made faces, but there was TO noise.
 Poor thing some one said, 1t is deaf and dumb"
 The mother smiled and said: "No, he is crying his best, but he is wearing his shock and noise absorber. If I would remove 1t he would fill the lobby with more noise than you ever heard"
 A crowd gathered and Mrs. Prouty as- silmed the role of lecturer with Illus trations.
 A thin rubber hood fitted over the baby's chin and mouth of. the same color of the baby's skin, it could not be seen at a distance. Around the mouth was a pocket in which wasaa fiimy cloth resembling mosquito bar, of silk. Mrs. Prouty changes this padding every day and the baby wears it only when in public. The child can breath through 1t, and it is removed when the baby wants a drink The absorber is fastened in the back under the baby's hood, and cry as much as it wishes the noise sounds TO louder than dull buzz.
 Mrs, Prouty will not patent her de- vice. She wants every mother to have the advantage of it.

whose brightest star at H has now fairly entered our evening sky This wonderful orange-red sun is one of. the most inter- esting variable stars of the heavens Sev- enty-six years ago Sir John Herschel dis covered that it's light was fluctuating in the year 1S49 another fluctuation began. it's light increasing until in 1852 it was actually the brightest star in the northern heavens. A lesser brightening was wit messed in 1894. What is occurring in this great sun Is wholly unknown to us, nor can we tell when a variation in the light IS to be looked for.
 The three nearly equidistant stars, D, F and r, which form the Belt of Orion and add so much to the beauty of this constellation, are now just arising from the ground. As might be expected, this striking line of bright stars has been mo- ticed and named by people of all ages and in all countries The Chinese called them a Weighing Beam; the Hindus, an Arrow; the Scandinayians.

It is in this month that the most beauti- full cancellations of Orion and the Twins both enter our evening sky, and already the eastern part of the heavens begins to present the brilliant appearance which is characteristic of tho winter stars. If the observer will face due east he will now see the wonderful Taurus, with it's Hyades and Pleiades, already mounted nearly half way to the zenith; to the left of these are the two stars which mark the ex- 'treme tips of the Bulls horns, of which the pure white star. at A. figure 1, is a great double sun in almost the same con dition as our two Dog Stars. while the second, at B, is a fainter. yellowish star whose influence in the days of astroogy was for some reason believed to be par ticularly malign. It Is at the point c, very short distance above and to the left of this star. that there is found the singr- lar Crab Nebula, often mistaken by anna teur observers for a new comet

magnitude only visible in the largest telescopes Thus the changes in this dis tant sun are even more remarkable than those of the celebrated Mira. at R, Fig ure 1. We know that its wonderful blazes of light are partly caused by outpourings of luminous hydrogen, and it's spectrum clearly indicates the agitation and violent motions of It's heated materials at these times, but of the real cause of the periodic disturbances we are still ignorant.
 Not only should the observer watch this star from time to time during the coming weeks, to observe it's gradual fading away, but he may, also be interested in examin- Ing the well known Mira, at R, Figure l, and the eclipsing variable at T. The for mer of these, which last May was nearly as bright as the North Star, is now bare ly visible to the eye, though 1t will not reach it's greatest faintness of 9.6 magni- tude until next December. The latter is the celebrated Demon Star, Algol whose light is periodically cut off by the passage of it's dimmer companion between itself and us. This star will reach it's greatest faintness on November 2. at ' hours 2 minutes P. NJ; on November 20, at 0 hours IS minutes A. NJ; on November p, at hours minutes P. NJ, and on Mo- vernber %, at hours 54 minutes P. M.

 Saturn Is high in the east, nearly mid way between the Hyades and the Pleiades. and presents beautiful object for study in telescope of moderate power. It is exactly opposite the sun (and so is due south at midnight on November 23.
 The November Shooting Stars may best be seen after midnight from the 14th to the 18th of the month. They dart out ward in all directions across the sky from the constellation Leo, which is then well up from the ground to the east
 fainter shower of reddish very slow ly moving stars, are to be looked for from November r to November 23. These are the Andromids, which move outward from near the star at V, Figure l. usually leav- ing luminous trains behind them. And toward the end of the month, the Taurids appear near the bright star Aldebaran, at z, Figure 1. These also move but slowly over the sky, and fire-balls are said td occasionally appear among them.

4 Famous Bone Cave"

From Wide World Magazine.
 An extraordiry bone cave" may Dc seen in the island of Teneriffe: Its sit- uated near the summit of lofty sea clir near Orotava, close to the small plain Of I4e Paz. where peace was finally made be- tween the conquering Spaniards and the Guanches. the original inhabitants Of the island. Here the Guanches made their last stand, ard this cave formed shelter for the small remnant left of the tribes men after the Spaniards finished with them. In former times the place had c7i- dently been burial ground of the Cuanches. and when first discovered number of mummies were found Tn It; now, however. only a huge pile of bones remain. Access is obtained bv descending rope trough hole dug in the roof, but tho original occupants must have had difficult and danserous scramble down the face of the almost perpendicular cffn to tine natural entrance.

Stars Less Dense Than Air


 From study of the stars of this kind we cannot only ascertain the nature of these double sun systems. but we can also find approximately how dense the two bodies are And it is found that many of them are remarkably rare and tenuous merely nebulous masses which are still very far from having attained the com- pact condition of our sun. Thus the av- craze density of all of the Algol variables Is probably not far from one-third of that of our sum-, while recent computations show that one of the fainter stars of this kind in the Southern Cross is actually less than one hundredth part as dense as our air. Yet this body appears to us as bright and non-transparent star; when passing before it's companion star it hides the light of this body from us exactly as if it were opaque, for the light of the hidden star is unable to penetrate the many millions of miles of tenuous matter of which it's attendant star is composed. Remarkable and surprising as such re-

suit is, it is to be remembered that the ma terial of our own sun formed an equally rare cloud when this had not yet con traeted far within the present orbit of the planet Venus.
 The Planets
 Mercury reaches Its greatest distance east of the sun on the morning of No vember 19. The planet is then far be- low the Celestial Equator, and so If seen at all can only be detected in the ex- treme southwest for a short while after sunset
 Venus is rapidly moving out from tho suns rays. passing Jupiter in its east ward motion on the evening of Novem- Der '. By the end of the month 1t sets two and one-half hours after sunset and may readily be detected in the southwest, low in the twilight glow.

Suns Which Vary in Brightness

suns WHICH vary III DIightHcos
 It happens that one of the most re- markable and interesting variable stars of the heavens is expected to reach its greatest brightness during this month while it is in excellent position for obser- walton in the evening sky. This star will be found at the point K in Figures and 2 very little to the left of the straight line passing through the stars l., N, F and s. It can readily be identified by it's position little below and to the left of the star at W.
 This wonderful object is usually very much too faint to be seen with the naked eye, but at a somewhat irregular interval it begins to pour out more and more light until it's brightness has increased many thousand fold. It usually remains thus bright for about two months and then 1t fades rapidly away
 It is predicted that this star will be brightest on November D. It should then | be more than twice as bright as the near by star at NJ, Figure g. and will probably so remain throughout the month. It will reach its greatest faintness next May, when it will shine as a star of the 1S.l
