cans shortly after daylight few miles
from Alimito Crossing, at the Rio
Grande River, and at once began
firing, An American, who is the re-
puted leader Of the Mexicans, but
whose name is unknown, replied to
the order to halt and declared that his
party would never surrender. The
soldiers were then ordered to open
fire, and at the first volley one Mexi-
can was shot dead, two others ap-

received minor wounds.
The American leader realizing that
the odds were against him, surrender

point about fifty miles in the interior
of Texas. They abandoned most of
this contraband when attacked by the
sheriff's posse few days ago. The
munitions were said to be for Con-
stitutionalists, but the latter announc-

Two minutes after the jury returned
its verdict Judge Hammer sentenced
Mrs. Godbee 20 remain in the peni-
tentiary the rest of her natural life"
She stood while sentence was pro-
nounced. Her daughter Sarah broke
down and wept audibly, but Mrs. God

been throughout the trial
Mrs. Florence Boyer Godbee and
her husband, W. S. Godbee, promi-
ninet resident of this place. were shot
to death by the convicted woman Au-
gust IS. The killing occurred at the
Millen postoffice.
The first Mrs. Godbee was in the

their mail. As they passed into the
postoftice she took a revolver from a
handbag and shot Judge Godbee twice.

SELECTED BY SENATE
REASON FOR oUT-oF-pooRs IN
AuGuRATIoN OF PRESIDENT.
Comparatively T&Vial Misunderstand-
Ing Between Speaker Henry Clay
and the Upper House Led to
Custom Since Maintained.

When tens of thousands of people
gathered in front OF the capitol at
Washington on March to see Wood
row Wilson inaugurated as president
of the United States probably few
realized what was the beginning OF
the custom of holding presidential in
augurations out of doors. Well, 1t
originated in sort of ruction between
the United States senate and Henry
Clay, speaker of the house OF repre-
sentatives.
The senate had not been in exist
ence when the new president was
being sworn in, there was no house
and no speaker When George Wash
ington first took the oath the lack of
railroads and the condition of the
highways between Mount Vernon and
New York delayed the Inauguration
until April 80, and the new congress
was already In session. When Wash
ington took the oath at his second
Inauguration the house had adjourned
sine die, and the president went to
the senate chamber for the ceremo-
nies. john Adams repaired to the
senate for his Inauguration, but the
senate held the ceremony in the rep
resentatives' hall in order to get more
room. Thomas jefferson took the
oath at both his first and second in
augurations in the senate chamber.
James Madison was inaugurated in
the hall of the house for both his
terms.
But when a senate committee called
on Speaker Henry Clay in March,
1877 and informed him that they
would like to borrow the house cham
Der for the Inauguration of James
Monroe. he told the senators they
could hold the show In his hall, but
he would not surrender control. The
senators wanted to bring with them
their comfortable red Morocco chairs.
but Speaker Clay told them they
would have to SIT In the democratic
split. bottoms with which the house.
Fthiirlber mss fa sld Vee ag6 tS,id
the senator's retired In high dudgeon
and the senate held the Inauguration
OF President Monroe at the east front
of the capitol.
Monroe's second Inauguration took
place in the hall of the house, but we
are not told whether the red Morocco
chairs were moved over from the SEN
ate chamber for the accommodation
of the senators. John Quincy Adams
took the oath in the hall of the repre-
sentatives, but Andrew Jackson in
formed the senate in 1929 that he
would take the oath "at such place as
the senate may think proper to desig-
nate" The senate again selected the
east front OF the capitol for the inau-
guration ceremonies, and all subse-
quent inaugurations have been held
out of doors.

The Matterhorn.

Many mountains which long enjoyed reputation of being absolutely un- climbable are now considered as al- most ordinary excursions. The Mat terhorn for many years repulsed men who were among the foremost noun taineers of the day. Professor Tyn- dall and Edward Whymper were foil ed on more than a dozen occasions. But on July 15, 1865, with Lord Fran cis Douglas, Hudson and Hadow, Mir Whymper eventually reached the sum- init, and 1t was in descending that the fatal slip occurred which cost the lives of his three English companions as well as of Michel Croz, one of the most competent of Swiss guides. Now adays the peak is constantly ascended (with the help of guides) by tourists who have no pretensions to be noun taineers at all.-Dundee Advertiser.

Which EaIls QuickerY

If one marble be snapped horizontal ly from the top of table and another be dropped from the same height at the same instant. which reaches the floor first?
 This question is sent to the Scientific American by a correspondent, and the editor of that magazine answers it as follows:
 Sir Isaac Newton stated three laws of motion which from his time to the present have been universally accepted IS true. The second law is, "A given force produces the same effect whether it acts upon body at rest or in mo- ton, whether it acts alone or together with other forces" You will see that the second part of this law covers the case of a ball dropped from a table and another ball shot horizontally from the same level at the same instant. The first ball falls by the force of gray ity alone. The second ball has, as you say, two forces acting upon 1t. The ball obeys both forces at the same time. It falls as if gravity acted alone. It goes by the blow as if the blow act ed alone. Bc4h balls reach the floor at the same instant.

Northwich is the center of the salt industry in Cheshire, England. On nearly all sides of the town are big salt works, with their engines pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of brine every week. At depth of some POO or 300 feet are immense subterranean lakes of brine, and as the contents of these are pumped and pumped away the up- per crust of earth is correspondingly weakened, and the result is an occasion al subsistence. These subsidences have pulling effect on the nearest build ings, and they are drawn all ways and give the town an extremely dissipated appearance.

Furniture Casters.

Many furniture casters are made of leather. disks of the required size being cut out and cemented and compressed to form the wheel. The wheel is then put into lathe and turned rounding on its face. Disks of metal are clamped on each side of the wheel to serve as bearings for the axle that runs through the wheel. Such casters are made for use on hardwood floors. Casters of compressed felt are also designed for this purpose. Among other styles of casters may be mentioned those of glass, designed to serve for purposes of insulation, and ball bearing casters, one style showing no wheel, but in- stead a ball which, when the furniture is moved, revolves on a circle of small CT balls within the caster fitting. Then, too, there are caster wheels made of porcelain and of rubber, of lignum vitae and other hard woods. Great numbers of casters are of iron and brass.-Exchange.
