SLAYER OF FIB SBOI
Mississippi Murderer Lynched
by Enraged Mob.
THE DETAILS OF THE TRAGEDY
Fiend Assault* and Kills Almost an En
tire family and >* Summarily Dealt
With by the Victims* Friends —Club Deed
In Committing the Horrible Crime.
Farther Trouble Feared.
Wesson, Miss., Dec. 10.—Full par
ticulars of the most fiendish crime ever
recorded have just come to hand. Al
most the ent re family of Brown Smith,
a respectable white farmer about 35
years of age, were brutally killed with
a club in the hands of Charles Lewis, a
black fiend, more devil than man.
Smith was working at a gin a few
miles from his home, which is situated
about 2 miles from Pearl river, on the
east bank, in Lawrenco county, and in
a scarcely settled and wild country.
The house is off the main road and no
white family lives within 2 miles of it,
although several negro families live
near. It was one of these negroes, who,
on Wednesday some time between noon
and darkness crept up to Smith’s house
and most brutally assaulted Mrs. Smi h,
then brained her with a club, and th -n
to forever hide his crime, he began an
their six children, only sparing a babe
Which he left untouched.
The fiend’s work was not done as well
as ha thought, for one of the children, a
little girl o years of age, regained con
sciousness and when her father entered
after his day’s work was finished, she
told him the name of the brute. The
mother and four children were found
dying in the yard, showing how they
had struggled to escape the brute.
The father and husband immediately
sounded the alarm and a posse was or
ganized and the negro captured and
carried back to the scene of the crime,
where he was fully identified by the
little girl.
It is said he was promptly lynched,
after the identification, by a large crowd
of infuriated citizens who had joined in
the search.
It is greatly feared that a wholesale
lynching may take place in the neigh
borhood, as the country is excited to the
highest pitch.
There is no need of little children
being tortoed by scald head, eczema
and skin eruptions. DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve gives instant relief and
cures permanently. For sale by Cur

Wrestling With the Czar.
One of the stories of Peter the Great
* heard in St. Petersburg is of the great
czar’s wrestling match with a young
dragoon.
Once in the imperial palace, so the
story goes, Peter was at table with a
great many princes and noblemen, and
soldiers were poster within the hall.
The czar was in a joyous mood, and, ris
ing, called out to the company:
“Listen, princes and boyars. Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
me to pass the time and amuse the
czar?”
There was no reply, and the czar re
peated his challenge. No prince or no
bleman dared wrestle with his sover
eign. But all at once a young dragoon
stepped out from the ranks of the sol
diers on guard.
“Listen, Orthodox czar,” he said, “1
will wrestle with thee.”
“Well, young dragoon,” said Peter,
“1 will wrestle with thee, but on these
conditions: It thou throwest me, I will
pardon thee, but if thou art thrown
thou shalt be beheaded. Wilt thou
wrestle on those conditions?”
“I will, great czar,” said the soldier.
They closed, and presently the sol
dier, with his left arm, threw the czar,
and wish his right he prevented him
from falling to the ground. The sover
eign was clearly beaten.
Somewhat in-Jhe spirit of Herod,, the
Thousands of men in every walk of life
all over the world are playing a desperate I
game with Death for an opponent. They
are playing with an opponent who has every
advantage, and the outcome of the game is
as certain as—Death. The man in any walk
of life, who is too hard-worked, too busy,
to take care of his health has only himself
to blame when the final break-down comes.
It is easy to keep health while one has it,
but uphill work to win it back when it is
lost. A man neglects a slight indigestion.
Then his appetite gets poor. That’s a trifle
and he pays no attention to it. Then he
complains of headaches and it is hard to
work or think. His sleep becomes restless
and he only gets troubled spells of it. He
gets nervous and irritable. Everything goes
wrong both at home and at business. He
persists in paying no attention to his
health. Then some day he breaks down.
The doctor says nervous prostration or con
sumption as the case may be. He has been
playing a game with death and has been
checkmated at the weakest point.

A Queen’s Indiscretion.
In connection with the stories of Bis
marck’s enemies among royal ladies
the following anecdote, which has nev
er been publicly related, may now be
printed: Queen Sophia of the Nether
lands, the first wife of King William
HI of Holland, was too great a friend
of the Emperor Napoleon 111, the Em'
press Eugenie and of France generally
to take kindly to the great chancellor.
Before the big war of 1870 and proba
bly some time after the Luxembourg
squabble there was an international ex
hibition in Amsterdam, which the queen
visited. She was conducted over the
whole place by the committee, and as
they came to a certain section one of
the members said, “Now your majesty
will see the greatest enemy of Ger
many.” "Ah! Bismarck!” she cried
with some glee. The members stood
aghast and never repeated this rash ex
clamation. The “greatest enemy” he
had to exhibit was not, of course, Bis
marck at all, but only a very much en
larged reproduction of either the phyl
loxera or the Colorado beetle, which at
that time did a great deal of harm to
German agriculture.—Westminster Ga

Prognostications.
It is a notable and noteworthy fact
that many of the greatest moral and
political revolutions which the world
has experienced have been preceded or
accompanied by prognostics of one kind
or another.
Lord Bacon’s remarks upon this sub
ject are worthy of reproduction and are
is follows:
“The shepherds of the people should
understand the prognostics of state tem
pests. Hollow blasts of wind, seeming
ly at a distance, often precede a storm.”
Instances of prognostication of this
kind are by no means unknown in his
tory.
Thus Bishop Williams in the reign
of Charles I clearly foresaw and pre
dicted the ultimate triumph of the Pur
itan party in England, and having the
courage of his opinions ho abandoned
the government party and sided there
after with the opposition. At the time
the bishop took this decided step there
was no outward sign whatever that
such an event was imminent or even at
all probable.
Dugdale, the antiquary, predicted
and anticipated the ruthless destruc
tion of ancient monuments in the cathe
dral churches which took place in 1641,
and he made haste, therefore, to com
plete his wanderings and labors in tak
ing drafts of and copying out the curi
ous inscriptions upon these ancient
monuments, so, as he himself says, “to
preserve them for future and better
times.”

MTSS CHRISTINE BRADLEY.
The Governor** Daughter Who Ha* Re
cently Become Famous.
You know what Shakespeare says
about a woman scorned. He describes
her wrath in a rugged but terse and
forceful sentence. Governor Bradley has
lately realized, if he never did before,
that Shakespeare spoke by the book.
Miss Harriet Bainbridge Richardson,
Mb WF
f ' a
MISS CHRISTINE BRADLEY.
one of the most beautiful of all the blue
grass belles, is the young woman who
considers herself scorned.
It all happened in this wise: About a
year ago, when he was secretary of the
navy, Mr. Herbert promised several
prominent Kentuckians that the new
warship now nearing completion
should be named for their state. The
promise was made at a dinner given in
honor of the secretary. Miss Richardson
was a guest at that dinner, and Mr.
Herbert was so charmed with her beau
ty that he also promised that she should
have the honor of christening the new
battleship.
But a year has brought many changes.
Mr. Herbert is no longer secretary of
the navy, and Secretary Long asked
Governor Bradley to select a young
woman to christen the Kentucky. He
either did not know or did not care that
Miss Richardson had been promised the
honor, for he announced recently that
his daughter, Miss Christine Bradley,
was to perform that office. No sooner
did Miss Richardson hear that she was
to be set aside than she began making
things warm for Governor Bradley. In
an interview she said some caustic
things about him and insinuated that
he was lacking in gallantry, on which,
as every one knows, every Kentucky
gentleman prides himself.
Governor Bradley’s defense is that
the chamber of commerce of Lexington
and the board of trade of Louisville, be
sides many individuals, had petitioned
him to appoint Miss Christine. She is
the only daughter of the governor, a
handsome brunette, and is just 18 years
old. At present she is attending Wash
ington college, Washington. She is a
charming young woman and is descend
ed from a family of distinguished sol
diers.
