same results as before, Within d few months after his release he was once again deeply in debt, and being one day walking in the street, he directed his servant to go in and ask for more moneys, The servant, Niccolo, having met with many refusals, tried to reason with his master. and at last, refusing to go point blank the Marquis drew his sword and killed him on the spot. He was later ap- prehended and committed to Newgate.
 The trial took place at the Old Bailey, on February Il, 171s. He was charged with the murder of his servant. John Niccolo, otherwise known as John the Italian. The main witness, John John- son. said he saw the deceased and the
 Marquis pass by and later heard the serv- ant say ''tous les jours." He then de- posed he saw the prisoner pursue Niccolo
 with soemthing in his hand, heard the deceased cry "gardet garde garde Ca
 dueling term, ''be on your guard) about 10 times and then saw the prisoner hurry
 down the street with either stick or sword in his hand, he could not say
 which. He added that he was sure of the
 Marquis, because of the unusual build
 and red coat which he was wearing. The next witness, Thomas Corbridge,
 deposed that he was knocking at door
 and heard an outcry which he took to be either murder or someone wounded in duel. He also saw the Marquis pass and
 hurry down Gerrord street. being sure 1t i was him by his size and great build. William Spicer, who kept a house at which the prisoner was boarding, said that the Marquis acted unusually after his return home on the night, and went straight to bed, which for him was an
 unusual thing, and never spoke to any one.
 The prisoner, in his defense denied that he had anything to do with the murder,
 saying that he knew nothing of 1t until the morning. He said that his servant
 had accompanied him home 70 the door, and asked for few moments leave, and did not return until morning. At this | the jury retired and later returned a | verdict of guilty of stabbing, and the sen | tence of death was passed upon hin. To | the end he was naughty. Several other prisoners were to be executed at Tyburn
 on the same day, so he made request to
 be hung early in the morning, as he could not bear to come in contact with anyone of the vdlgar criminals. This l rather unusual request was granted

 A high tension dressing room is being installed at B. F. Keith's theatre for the identification of performers before they go upon the stage. The room will contain a powerful Tesla coil and the walls will be wound with heavy insulated copper wire carrying high frequency positive currents.
 Tired artists will enter this high-fre- auency cage" and emerge filled with ozone and thoroughly electrified. It is ex- pected that short visit to the pep house" as the artists have already termed it, will send any act upon the stage keyed up to blowing off steam pressure.
 Mortimer Norden. E. E.. chief eectri- clan, is installing the high-tension room for electrical stimulation at Keith's as a result of experiments by Nikola Tesla, Sir James Crickton Browne. Sir Oliver Lodge and himself. In Europe nurseries are be- equipped for the electro-culture of chill Idren, and Superintendent Maxwell has se- | riously considered electrifying New York scfoolrooms to brighten dull scholars with high potential currents. Regarding the | experiment at Keiths MT. Norden said 1 yesterday:
 'The high-tension dressing room will be
 an entering wedge for the greatest bless ing electricity has brought to mankind High potential electricity will do away
 with bromides. phosphates, pick-me-ups
 pepsin tablets and all the other dope tha
 people take for nervous and stomaci
 troubles. The day is near when no ont will rent an apartment that has not beer electrified. Every beauty's boudoir wil carry high-tension currents and will gen crate ozone.
 l 'The nurseries will be electrified ant the children will grow up twice as fas and twice as bright. Every theatre will be wired for high-frequency currents ant
 both the performers and the public will | be keyed up to dazzling pitch. There i

ORIGIN OF HANDsHAkING

From Tit Bits.
 You have wondered often, perhaps. when and where the custom of shaking hands originated. Like many other practices, it originated in military cir- cles.
 In early times, when soldiers met, toI convince one another that no harm was intended and that they held no weap- cns, they extended and grasped each others hands. Probably many, when shaving in a hurry. have often wondered why their fcrbears ever began to remove hair from their faces In the time of Alex ander the Great 1t was found that
 when troops came in conflict the beard formed a good handhold for the enemy. Alexander ordered that all his soldiers | should shave their faces. to the advan~ tage of his army.

A BAD BILL
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
 The railroad securities bill passed by the House and now pending in the Sem ate ought not to be enacted in its present form. It requires the interstate commerce commission to approve and authorize is-. sues of railway securities and to fix the minimum prices at which they shall be sold This would impose task on the commission which it could not properly perform. There are from 300 to 1000 issues of railway securities every year. Until the physical valuation of railroad prop critics is completed an adequate inyesti- gation of each issue would require long time, extending to months in some cases. If the commission should attempt to do the work thoroughly. it would break down and the delay in the approval of securities would cripple the railroads.
 The fixing of the minimum price of sale by the commission would also have an unfortunate effect. Purchasers would think that the government had practically guaranteed that the securities were worth the price fixed by it., and would look to the government to maintain that value.
 It is not generally known that the bill has the active support of the railroads. This is due to their belief that the ap- proval of the interstate commerce com mission will by necessary implication ex- clude action by the state commissions.
 And very probably that would be the result. The railroads are willing to face any risk in order to be rid of the state commissions. They do not, however, dare
 t|insert in the bill an express provision busting the state commissions. Southern
 states rights democrats would never vote
 for that. It will be a singular thing if
 a democratic Congress allows the rail-
 roads to put over indirectly what would
 have no chance of passing Is expressed.

The Panama-Pacific Exposition

The Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco next year will not have as many exhibits from the old world as had been announced, for even if hostilities between the nations cease within the next few months, foreign governments will not be able to utilize all the space that had been reserved for them Nevertheless, it will be one of the most interesting expositions ever held in this country, and from a commercial and industrial point of view it will be the most important.
 The legislature of Alabama provided for state exhibit There should be an Alabama building, and the general display should include the principal resources If the state, with emphasis on our agricultural potentialities. The Birmingham district as a distinct in dustrial center shoYld be strongly in evidence at San Francisco. Birming- ham was represented at the St. Louis worlds fair, and even as far back as 1893 at the Chicago worlds fair. But this district is far stronger now thar 1t was when the St. Louis show was opened; and Birmingham's exhibit should be correspondingly greater.
 No matter what happens in Europe the Latin-American republics vii make a fine showing at the Panama Pacific exposition. Argentina vii make display that will amaze thu world, and a dozen or more Soutl American countries will exert them selves in assembling varied exhibits

The Savings Habit

"As we all know. the savings depart ments of the banks have done a vast deal to develop the spirit of thrift among the masses said a man who lives on moderate income.
 Every boy who has got far along in arithmetic knows that a given sum de- posted in a savings bank at a given rate of interest compounded at given periods will increase to a certain sum in a given time, but the result of monthly savings as shown in a simple tabu- lated form such as the American Trust and Savings bank publishes on little card. puts fellow up to the idea of depositing few dollars every month
 One dollar month with interest com pounded quarterly grows to s147 45 in 10 years; in 20 years to s3s5 59 Twenty dol lars month grows to s2s52 52 in 10 years and to $7S4s.36 in 20 years.

In LauderdaIe County

Tt is strange that the water powers in Cypress creek adjacent to the city of Florence, in Lauderdale county, have not been developed in recent years, as they are capable of operating a number of mills and factories at a minimum cost for development said well known man yesterday, who is familiar with this matter He said that the citizens of Flor ence were exhibiting remarkable degree of enthusiasm over-the prospect of the early utilizing of these water powers of which there are three in number, by Col N. F. Thompson and his associates Tt is now" said he, that the south should renew the era of cotton mill building for finer grades of goods than are usually made in this section. since the European war has virtually closed continental mills and to utilize the south's great product more mills and factories for turning out better products should be erected, and therefore, this movement at Florence is in the right direction."
