Boston, June 23.-The murderer of
Mrs. DR.. Hull, in New York, some
weeks ago, was arrested in this city to-
night. He is copper colored negro
named Christine Cox, formerly en-
ployed as cook in the neighborhood
where the murder was committed. His
attempt to pawn some of the stolen
jewelry led to his arrest. Cox made no
resistance, but went quietly to the
police station, where he was searched
and Mrs. Hull's watch was found on
him and thoroughly identified. He
was not reticent, and said in answer to
questions, that he had lived for long
time opposite Mrs. Hull's house, and at
the time of the robbery he entered
through the lower window and went up
stairs to her room. He further said
that his purpose was robbery alone,
and that he did not intend to kill her.
Private detective Otto and Police Off
Ger Schmeltberger, of New York, have
arrived here, and visited Cox at the
station tonight. He was fully recog-
nized, and also gave evidence that he
knew the police officer. Mr.. Caryal
Coleman, who lived in the house with
DR.. and Mrs. Hull, who is also in Bos-
ton. visited the police station tonight,
and recognized the prisoner as II man
that he had seen frequently on tile op-
posite side Of the street from the Hull
residence.


The negro has appeared very calm
and Indifferent since his arrest, and has
talked without mnch hesitation In Civ
ing the details of his crime He went
home on the night on which Mrs. Hull
was murdered at O'Clock, and re-
mained in the house where he was en-
ployed until 10 O'Clock, when he went
out again. He had q key for door of
Hull's house, but was unable to make
it fit, and consequently he raised the
window in the lower story and fastened
it up so as to provide for himself an
easy way of making his escape from
eiU houoc. IiC liiti u CdItlt Will llilu.
On ascending the stairs he heard some
one snore and thought it was a man.
He blew the candle out, walked into
the room and stepped up to the side of
the bed. Mrs. Hall awakening asked
"Who is it?'' s'The doctor;n replied
the negro. She put up her hand and
touched his face as he stood close be-
side the bed. The robber threw her
hand back, at the same time laying his
hand heavily over her mouth. He then
got hold of the cologne bottle and
dashed the cologne in the face of the
struggling woman, after which he got
upon the bed and made gag of the
bed clothing. She was by this time in
an exhausted condition and he tied her
in the manner in which she was found
the morning after the murder.


Afterwards, Cox relates that he re-
lighted the candle, and in holding it
close to her face the cologne ignited,
which accounts for the singeing of the
eyebrows and the other burns on the
person of the murdered woman. The
robbery was then committed and the
robber made his escape, soon leaving
New York for Boston.

Many persons may not be aware


that glass can he cut under water


with great ease, to almost any shape
by simply using pair Of shears or
strong scissors. In order TO insure
success two points must be attended
to-frst and most important, the glass
must be kept quite level in the water
while the scissors are applied; and,
secondly, to avoid risk, it is better to


begin the cutting by taking off small
pieces at the corners and along the
edges, and 30 reduce the shape gradu-
ally to that required, as if any attempt
is made to cut the glass all at once
to the shape, as we should cut piece
of cardboard, it will most likely break
where it is not wanted. Some kinds
OF glass cut much better than others.
the softer glasses being the best for
this purpose. The scissors need not
be at all sharp as their action does
not appear to depend on the states of
the edge presented to the glass.
When the operation goes on well the
glass breaks away from the scissors
in small pieces in a straight line with
the blades. This method of cutting
glass has often been of service when
q diamond has not been at hand, for
cutting ovals and segments, and
though the edges are not so smooth
as might be desired for some purposes,
yet it will answer in great many
cases. The two hints given above, if
strictly followed, will always insure
success.

Don't let old bones lie around in
the barnyard and fence corners.
They should be preserved, as they
contain phosphoric acid, one of the
most valuable ingredients in
manure. Put layer of wood
ashes in the bottom of cask and
then add a layer of bones, then
add another layer of ashes and so
on until the cask is filled. Keep
the mixture wet and in a few
months the potash in the ashes will
have so combined with the phos-

 Green Peaches to St. Louis.

 The shipping of green fruit from this part of Arkansas, is a new enterprise, and one which bids fair to be of vital importance to the fruit growers of Pope county. From August 9th to October Sth there were 1921 bushels of green peaches shipped to St. Louis by NJ. B. Roys and B. F. Smith, the raisers re- ceiving from 40 to 30 cents per bushel in cash for the fruit, and at time of the year when there was no other crop that would command dollar in money. This placed over $500 .00 in the farmers hands which he could not of realized 10 per cent. for in any other way. This fruit was all common seeding fruit, and mostly clingstone, and did not include the earliest varieties grown here, which would have paid q better profit to the farmer and to the shippers. The farmer not being prepared with suitable conveniences to haul the fruit to the railroad, and not understanding how to gather and pack the fruit, was the greatest drawback we had in get ting the fruit into market in good con- dition.

 But the fact is demonstrated clearly that choice early peaches will pay big profit to ship to St. Louis, notwith- standing the express is 90 cents per bushel. If the express company would put the express at a lower rate, which they might do when 1t is prepaid, il would open up a business which would make thousands of dollars to the far mers as we'll as the Railroad company.

 The demand for choice early fruit never will cease, but yearly increase. And Arkansas stands second to no state in the union to produce just such fruit. The cold and uncertain climate of the Northern States will never do to depend upon.to supply the eyerin- creasing demand for early fruits. Scarcely ever do we have a total failure of the peach crop in this country And already is the attention of fruit men being turned this way, and are looking for suitable locations in this part of our State in which to engage in this profitable business. And why not our own farmers who are already in possession Of good localities take ad- vantage of this new enterprise?

 fully expect in very few years to see fruit train running on the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad laden with the choicest fruits.

 There being three months in which tine peach is ripened successfully here in Pope County it will make a profitable business for the road as well as the fafmers. NJ. E. RoYs.

We desire to keep one fact thor oughly impressed on the minds of the Democracy of Arkansas. Tho way to perpetuate party rule is to put the best men in office and give good government to the people. The way to break up a party is to put incompetents and corruptionists in power. As certain as fate large minority will revolt against the nom- ination of such persons.

Nothing which received abroad
was such a pleasure to me. | do
not mean by this 10 disparage my

and hearty one and showed the high
esteem felt for our country by for
eign nations. 1t would have been
quite different quarter of n century

most powerful nation on earth. We
have much which European nations
have nOt-that is we have a popula-
ton which as yet does not threaten
to crowd any inhabited district or
exhaust the productivencss of the
soil. We have extensive soil and
immense undevelopcd resources TO
exhaust before our population will
become so de lse as to make the rails
ing of sufIicie 1T to live on a serious
problem. In this respect we have
great promise for the future. The
fact of the matter is we are more
thought Of abroad than we think Of
ourselves. Yet ut the same time we
think considerable of ourselves, and
we in fact are a little cOnceitcd over
our advantages. Laughter. The

I think it is the duty of parents to
allow their children certain sum week
ly for spending money. In one Of the
best families | ever knew, each boy and
girl had little fund of his or her own,
acquired in various ways by the help of
their parents, and if the boys wanted a
knife. letter paper, stamps, or any such
thing. they bought it with a proud sense
of responsibility. If the girls wished a
ribbon, or a magazine, it gave them a
pleasant sense of personality to purchase
for themselves.


And if their mother, in any of her
business transactions, needed some extra
money. they were pleased to be able to
to lend it to her, and she always repaid
it as carefully as if she had borrowed ii
from an outside individual. 1t was
practice as we'll as precept with them to
be not only affectionate, but just to each
|


other.


These children are now nearly al
grown, and are doing business on theil
own account, and the young men are pro
verbal for their exact business habits
their. high sense of honor, and genera
excellence of character; the young WON
en- are held in equal estimation by al

The hashy newspapers that are sold
upon.
cations that are hawked about more Sc
secretly, are not, however, the whole of
the mischievous reading that falls into
the hands of our boys and girls. The
libraries, the public libraries. the Sun
day school libraries furnish them with
great deal of reading that, as they use
it, is extremely hurtful to them. The
statistics that our librarians give us,
showing the excess of novels over all
other classes of books issued to the pa
irons of the libraries give US food for
rather discouraging reflection. From
the Hartford Public Library one boy
took one hundred and two novels in six
months, and one girl one hundred and
twelve IN the same time. Think of the
condition of those children's minds at
the end of such carnival Of sensations
Even though no books of positively inn
moral character are admitted into the
public libraries, it is clear that the pro-
vision of so much mental excitement
for our young people is doing them great
damage.


The late convention of Librarians in
Boston discussed the matter very earnest.
ly and tried to reach some practical con.
clusions. One radical suggestion was
that city or town has no right to taa
the people for the furnishing Of mere
amusement to anybody, and that there
fore, no fiction that is not clearly educa
tional in its character should find room
upon the shelves of our public libraries


Another proposition was that schoo
