MYSTERY OF A BIG PISTOL.
Probability That Weapon Found Un- der Surratt House May Have
 Belonged to Booth.

One of the numerous letters re- with his recent account of trip over part of the route which John Wilkes Booth and David Herold followed in their flight from Washington after the assassination of Lincoln has come from Miss Irene Milstead She tells of the finding of an old pistol under the Surratt house. at Surrattville Firearms were hidden in the Surratt tavern, but it is believed that those which were stored there to be used, presumably by the abductors of Presi- dent Lincoln, were taken from the place by Booth and Herold when they stopped there at about midnight in their flight from Washington
 Miss Milstead says: About nine- teen years ago the old house at Sur rattsville was either rebuilt or remod- eled, or, at any rate, part of it was torn down, and under it was found an old pistol. After reading your ar ticle in the Star I wondered if there could be any possibility of the pistol having been hidden by Booth or his companions. It has been in my pos session ever since it was found. It is very large pistol of the Beale. make, and seems to have been made Sn 1856. Washington Star.

 Cleanliness and Cash.

'"The day has passed" says the bull Ietin of the Chicago health depart ment, when a dealer in foodstuffs can keep dirty, f1y-infested store and hope to hold his trade. That this is true is due to the fact that today ev- cry housewife knows that flies carry unspeakable filth on tEeir feet and that they leave it on whatever food they are permitted to come in con tact with. And because this is true, the careful. intelligent women are do- ing their household marketing in clean stores. And, once more, this is why cleanliness counts for both cash and customers"

DEATH PENALTY FOR FAILURE.
New Guinea "Sorcerer" Apparently Recognized Justice of the Sen
 tence imposed on Hlm.

Not long since, in an inland village in New Guinea, certain mother-in- law fell ill A puri-puri man was fetched to her aid from a neighbor1ng village. Could the puri-puri man cure the mother-in-law? Oh, yes, the puri- puri man could surely cure the moth er-in-law! The puri-puri man must have, however, as fee for the cure, a dog and pig. It was a bargain The dog and the pig passed into the possession of the sorcerer and he set confidently to work It was testified, in the course of the trial which pres entity came on, that the sorcerer, who was by this time the deceased in the case, had made few passes" over the mother-in-law and returned to his village
 Now, my good woman" said lie, upon departing, you will get well.
 This was not so.
 ''I called you to attend my mother in-law?" demanded the son-in-law. when next the sorcerer came
 It was admitted.
 q paid you dog and a pig?"
 You did,
 My mother-in-law is dead
 Hum" It is easy to imagine the consternation of the sorcerer.
 Very we'll, then," declared the son, inlaw "As I paid you a dog and a pig to cure my mother-in-law, and as you did not cure her, I am going to kill you"
 Thereupon the son-inlaw went off with two friends in search of wea- pons Witnesses of what followed told the magistrate before whom the case was tried that the sorcerer made no attempt to escape-that he calmly awaited the inevitable event. Pres ently the avengers returned. The son. in-law grievously speared the sor- cerer and the Misunderstanding coun- tenance and aid-dispatched him with their stone clubs Not one of these men-declares the magistrate-could be persuaded that they had done any thing out of the way. Had the sor- cerer not been paid a dog and pig for his medicine? And had not his cure failed? And was he not a sor- cerer, anyhow ?-Norman Duncan, in Harper's Magazine.
