Negro Gunmen Arrested.

Negro uunTnen ATTeSteu-
James Jackson and Daniel Adams, the
two young negroes accused OF robbing
stores in Berryville and shooting Police
man Charles E. Feltner near Wheatland,
this county, when he attempted TO arrest
them next day, were taken into custody
at Harrisburg, Pa, last Wednesday.
Ever since Policeman Feltner was shot,
officers have been on the lookout for the
robbers, a reward OF 500 by Jefferson
county and another 500 from Clarke
county having been offered. II was be-
leved that the men would make for
Harrisburg or Steelton, Pa, and sure
enough they were picked up in Harris
burg on Wednesday. Sheriff Levi, OF
Clarke county, was notified, and he went
on at once and identified them. They
were brought back TO Charles Town and
lodged in Jail, the shooting OF the officer
having occurred in this county.
Jackson was tried yesterday in the
Jefferson Circuit Court at Charles Town,
and the jury was but short time in rem
dering verdict of guilty. He is the man
who fired the shot that so badly wound
ed Officer Feltner. Adams is on trial to-
day for participation in the shooting.
Il is said that the men confessed to
Sheriff Levi and gave details as TO how
they escaped after shooting the police
man at Wheatland. They walked and
ran to Shenandoah Junction, circling
around Charles Town, and at the juno
ton caught freight train, finally making
their way to Harrisburg.

Warm Weather And Dry.

The weather the past week has been
about as hot as if usually gets in this
latitude. Tuesday the Registers Their
mometer showed 95 in the shade, and
Yesterday it got up to 90. The intense
heat, added TO the drought that has pre-
vailed here for several weeks, has al
fected growing vegetation, and the lack
of rain has materially reduced the straw
berry crop and delayed garden truck. A
sprinkle yesterday evening cooled the
atmosphere little. Yesterday afternoon
a sudden storm that seemed to originate
about Bakerton swept eastward and did
considerable damage, both in MARYLAND
and Virginia. There was heavy rain
and considerable hail, which beat down

RITcHIE DEFEATS WoLGAsT
Michigan lightweight Claimed Foul In
Seventh Round, But Referee Re
fused to Allow 1t.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 14.-Ad
Wolgast failed to get his revenge. The
Cadillac Duchman was out-fought by
Lightweight Champion Willie Ritchie
during the ten rounds of fighting in
the Auditorium ring before 10000 per-
sons.
The Californian won, but not by a
wide margin. He did not even con-
vince those present that he would
surely be the better man in a long
fight, for Wolgast was after him VI
ciously and madly in the last round.
and left the ring without a mark on
face or body.
The contest was won and lost
through a dramatic occurrence in the
seventh round The men were fight
ing along viciously, head to head,
when Ritchie suddenly uncorked two
right swings to the Wolgast stomach.
With the thud of the second padded
fist on his body the Michigan Dutch
man backed away and sank to the
floor, holding his hands over his groin.
He looked up at Referee Stout with
an expression of pain on his face, and
asked that he be awarded the bout on
foul.
AS far as the writer could see, the
Ritchie rights to the body looked
to be fair punches. The men were
close enough for us to watch them go
home, though the blows were deliv.
cred with lightning quickness.

Convict Believed Innocent.

Holding its recommendations for
clemency to 10 cases out of a total of
46 considered at this session, the State
Board of Pardons disappointed almost
all applicants for mercy who had been
convicted of crimes of a serious ma.
ture. One exception was Lock Foster,
one of the five men convicted of the
murder of Celery King William C.
Johnson, near Carey, o., September IL,
1900, and who was received under SEN
tence of the Wyandot county common
pleas court in February, 1901. The
state board recommended that he be
pardoned on the ground of innocence.
Gov. Cox has already pardoned Geo.
Urey, one of the others convicted in
the Johnson case, upon the same
ground. Others convicted at the same
time died in prison. The theory upon
which Fosters innocence is claimed
by the board rests upon what is term
ed insufficient identification of the al
legged murderers by the wife and chill
dren Of Johnson, the murdered man,
and on his own alibi defense that he
was in Findlay the night of the crime
The conviction is ascribed to the state
of public feeling in Wyandot county,
which had become aroused over O
number of murders.

Too Much Red Tape.

The necessities for methodicaI trans
action of business are found impera-
tive in many large industries, but
there invariably is point at which
red tape should be severed.
One particular instance reported re-
Gently was the investiture in the sales
manager of the duty of signing a
requisition for all supplies. The sales
manager took a vacation, and the
head bookkeeper, the cashier and
others turned in their requisitions.
They lay on the sales managers desk
for couple Of weeks, and in the
meantime the bookkeeper paid for his
own stamps, the cashier purchased his
own supplies, and it was months be-
fore they obtained the money they
had expended.

How to Keep Young.

Speaking from text of interest to
all women-"How to Keep Young"-a
lady writer on matters of feminine in
terest said: "Given a woman of ordt
nary healthy habits who is not over
worked, the first thing to be eonsid
cred is her sleep. She should take at
least eight hours rest. Women may
accustom themselves to less, but il
means a loss of vital force in the long
run. Many women take an early
morning cup of tea-a pernicious hab'
it. In fact, the less tea or coffee a
woman takes the better for her health
and good looks. Comfort in dress is
another important point. Tight cloth
ing-whether in gloves, boots or cor
'sets-should be avoided! Any annoy
ance or discomfort in a woman's
clothing soon makes its impress on
the countenance, and means a tax on
the nerves as we'll. AS to her daily
fare, it need not be luxurious, but it
can be wholesome and sufficient. But
ample rest is the chief thing, for it is
that which conserves the vital forces"

San Joaquin valley, and on the pres

encamped with 100 horses. Through
the years of danger and turmoil that
followed he never abandoned his plan
of settlement, but carried it to sue

tecting the American settlers against
the Mexicans he was thrown into
prison. Commodore Stockton came to
his aid, and in gratitude Weber named
his new settlement after the Ameri-

The Family Pew.

To a correspondent we are frank to
say that, all things considered, we
would like to see pew rents abolished.
But we would, at the same time, like
to see a revival of interest in the
old family pew" If the giving up of
rented pews means the scattering of
the members of a family over the
church, we would prefer the continu-
ance of the rental system. But as
signed seats are quite as effective as
rented pews in keeping families to-
gether. Sad to say, neither system
is effective in our day. That fine lad
prefers to sit in the gallery or in the
back pew with the fellows" If his
father could see all that his pastor
sees, that lad would be in the family
pew next Sunday. How beautiful the
sight of whole family in the "old
family observation-disclosures.

Artificial Pearls From Gelatin.

A new process of manufacturing ar
tificial pearls is said to equal any of
the methods heretofore employed in
the quality of the finished product,
while it is less expensive than some
processes now in use. 1t is based on
the fact that certain aIkaii phosphates
have the property of rendering pure
gelatin iridescent. Small glass beads
are used as nuclei for the artificial
pearls. These are dipped into a warm
solution of gelatin and then placed
on gelatin-coated plate glass. On the
gelatin surface of the plate, forming
ring around each bead, is then applied
with small brush the phosphate So
luton. This is absorbed by the gela-
i tin, and is soon diffused through the
coating of the bead. As soon as the ir-
idescent effect desired has been pro.
duced, which must not be accomplish.
ed too rapidly, the pearls" are ex-
posed to the vapors of formaldehyde.

MATTHEW vAssAR.
Whether Or Not the Founder Of Fa-

In is for Sale.

The ghost of Matthew Vassar,
founder of vassar college. is said to
be haunting an old farmhouse, once
owned by him, on the New Hacken-
sack road between Red Oak Mills and
New Hackensack. ~,
Within the last four months three
families have moved from the place

Henry l. Stonebridge, Schenectady
man, who turned farmer for his
health, moved from the house recent

ing at the foot of their bed was toe
much for Stonebridge and his wife.
The apparition, they assert, exactly
resembled the best existing portraits
of Matthew Vassar.
The Stonebridge family had occu-
pied the house but one month. For
some time uncanny noises had been
disturbing their sleep. 1t sounded at
times as though some person were
walking up and down the front stairs
At midnight peculiar noises would
come from the cellar. The sounds re-
sembled groans and dreadful moaning
One night about ] a. M, as near as
Mr.. Stonebridge was able to tell, he
and his wife were awakened by a
feeling as though cold fingers had
been passed across their 'throats.
They opened their eyes almost stimuli
taneously and saw a ghostly figure,
which stood erect with finger pointed
straight at them.
Without sound the specter moved
away from the bed and vanished
through the open window. One expe
rience of this sort was enough for Mr.,
Stonebridge, who at once began pack.

the Westinghouse air brake. He also
made other inventions in railway sig
mails, steam and gas engines, steam
turbines and electrical machinery. He
was the pioneer, in the face of the
most intense opposition, in introduc
ing alternating current machinery in
America This has made possible the
great development of water power fol
long distances because of this means
of electrical transmission. He built
the great generators at Niagara Falls
and those for the elevated railway and
the rapid transit system of New York
He has established large works in the
United States, England, France and
Germany for the manufacture Of all
