tom HUGHES BATH
HARD TO EXECUTE

For some time Col. Tom Hughes has
been figuring on taking a bath. He
decided to fix the date for the hazard,
Dec. 13. On looking at the calendar
he found that that date came on Fri
day and that, as he did not get home
early at night, the clock would be
striking IL while he was in the bath
tub.
Not that Mr.. Hughes doesn't take a
bath often, but he had set his heart
on that particular date. He cut short
his visitations down town and repair
ed to his home at 10 o'clock that even
ing only to find that some one had left
the bathroom window open; also sew.
eral other windows in the house in
rooms adjacent to the bathroom. He
went down to the cellar and there he
turned off all the steam pipes that he
could find, excepting the one leading
to the bath ROOM, that he expected to
occupy and he let. the steam all flick
err into that one. 3
Smiling to himself, he shut the win
dow in the bathroom and the other
windows as well, disrobed and was soon
at his bath. 81 ... 81"
After a short time he noticed that
there was a cold air playing about his
underpinning. He couldn't account for
1T, as the cold air increased in magni-
tuuS anu DIS he arose IN the LuD MS
teeth chartered, and he stepped out.
the instant his feet touched the tile
flooring Of the bath room he felt a
shock as though he had been struck
by a Nebraska cyclone going at the
rate Of eleven miles a. minute. He put his
hand down and it was blown away by
the gust that came. A further eX-
animation revealed the fact that while
he was shutting Of all Of the heat from
other rooms than the toilet he was
forcing the cold air through the pipes
into that lone pipe. .....
He desired to make this explana-
ton so that in case there was any
huskiness in his voice at. the Pioneer
Life banquet the above will explain
it.
He says, however, that he will be in
fine trim for performing his functions
at the next meeting of the u. c. T.
Jan. 4.
He attributed his hard luck to Fri
day, Dec. 10, and says If anyone writes
his epitaph he needn't put on it, go
thou, and do likewise"
He also desires to state that with
heroic effort he succeeded in perform
ing what he set about to undertake.
He says he wouldn't have gone through
with it If he hadn't been certain in
juries from such a cause would not be
counted an accident.

any one for money it is pretty safe
to say that he was not discovered by
any of them.

LOCAL MERCHANTS
Discuss Matters Of Importance at
Regular Monthly Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the wa
teryille Merchants Association was
held Wednesday evening. in the city
council rooms, but it was not the an
nual meeting. That will come the sec
ond Wednesday of February. A COM
Iflittee consisting of F. j. Goodridge,
f. c. Wardwell and S. e. Whitcomb
was named to bring in list of NOM
nations to be voted upon at the an
nual meeting. Henry j. Collins, gro
Ger, was elected to membership in the
association.
A matter relative to the more
prompt delivery of the second morn
ing mail was brought up before the
meeting and was given a wide discus
sion. 1t seems that the mail arriving
in the post office at about 10 A. M.
does not reach the merchants until the
middle of the afternoon and 1t was
the general opinion that the mai
ought TO be distributed before dinner
time. 1t was decided to leave the mat
ter with the president to take up with
tho post office authorities.
n is proposed to have some out-of-
town speaker present at the FEBRUARY
meeting to give an address upon some
interesting subject. Refreshments VIII

terminate sentence at Charlestown state
prison for the murder of Amelia St.
Jean, the young woman whose body was
found strewn over the countryside at
Tiverton, r. l., several years ago, seeks
pardon at the hands of Gov. Foss and
the Executive Council. This became
known here, today, when friend of the
former herb doctor said he had received
a letter from prof" Hill asking him TO
start movement to that effect.
The case in which prof" Hill was
convicted is best known as the Amelia
st. Jean mystery" Public interest first
attached to 1t with the finding of an arm
and leg in the brush off the Bulgar-
marsh road, in Tiverton, r. l., which is
just outside this city. on Oct. IL, 1909
Later other members of the body were
found, the head being discovered on the
day Hill confessed to the murder of
Miss Amelia st. Jean, a mill hand, whose
body had been identified by an aunt
Hills confession showed that he had
performed an Illegal operation upon the
young woman. and that when she died
as result of it he had dismembered the
body and distributed it through the coun-
tryside. Judge Stevens of the superior
court, sitting at Taunton, sentenced Hill,
on Nov. II, to not more than 10 years nor
less than seven years at hard labor at
Charlestown state prison.

sheriff, seriously wounded three other
deputies, and slightly wounded Sher-
iff Harley Hamil, the leaders of
posse who endeavored to get into the
Twiman house in which the black had
barricaded himself.
Twiman held the constantly growing
force of besiegers at bay from 10 A.
NJ, until P. NJ. when a 1-pounder
hurried to the scene from the local
armory with a squad of Naval Militia
and National Guardsmen reached the
scene. Sheriff Hamil then sent a mes
sage to Twiman by John A. Alexander
a Negro farmer of Scottsyille, with
whom Twiman has always been
friendly. that if he would surrender
he would be protected from violence
but that if he persisted in defying the
officers, the house would be shot to
pieces at once.
The message decided the Negro at
once, and he walked out of the house
holding his hands over his head. Of

hurried him into the county Jail in
