THE MUSIC CABINET
BY
  MRS. RICHARD C.OUGH THOMPSON

Thursday evening will inspire us with courage to keep up our association and to plan for future appearances in concert. The assistance of the Coterie Chorus of MT. A. B. White, of Little Rock and of Mrs. E. w. Bocage, whose fine accompaniments contrib uted so greatly to the success of the singers will remain to us a very de- lightful memory of our debut. We have received flattering invitations to sing at various functions but these we are declining at present, feeling that with time we may develop into a musical society worthy to take our place in the city and the state as anna teurs, a word which properly trans lated-loyers and servers-of the di- vine art describes those who have So generously given their talent to make the Apollo Choral an accomplished fact and not dream and desire on
 ly. After our next meeting we will
 have some interesting news to publish
 Meanwhile we will preserve in song
 and speech the silence aptly called | Golden.

Petitioners are trying to have Act 3O1, the Mississippi Coun- ty Stock law, referred, but Attorney general Moose has advised the Secre- tary of State to hold up on filing the petition.

KILLED MAN AND SKINNED HIM
Death of Dr.. Isaac c. West in Texas
Recalls Sensational Delaware
Crime.

Dover, Del-A tragedy that created
the greatest sensation in the history
of Delaware was revived when word
was received here of the sudden
death at Dallas, Tex, of DR.. Isaac c.
West. On December 2, 1872, he kill
ed Henry c. Turner, alias Couch Tur-
ner, negro. in Dover, skinned him
completely, and then set fire to the,
building in which the crime was COM
mitted. His purpose, it was claimed
was to secure $4,000 life insurance
by substituting the Negroes disfgured
body, and making it appear he had
been killed by an explosion Of medi-
cinal gas that he manufactured.
The case was tried here in April,
1873. West was acquitted on the
ground of insanity, but subsequently
was convicted of arson, and served a.
term in Dover Jail. He left Delaware
after completing his sentence, and
had not ben heard from for years un--
til word reached here of his death
The tragedy was one Of the most
terrible ever committed in this coun-
try. West made a confession, in
which he told Of having skinned the
body and buried portions of it in a.
half dozen different places here. In
order to frighten negroes generally,
it was only necessary to refer to the,
West case. This holds good in some,
instances to this day.
