The News regrets to hear of the probably fatal shooting of Gussie Las seter by his older brother Willie in Brunswick, while playing with a pis¬ tol one day last week, thought to be unloaded. From the newspaper ac¬ counts of the affair we gather that “The two boys and a little negro boy were in the kitchen playing with pis¬ tols, imitating the exploits of Jesse James. In the play Willie pulled down on Gus, who was laughing and to his astonishment the pistol fired, sending a 32 calibre ball right in his open mouth, knocking out four teeth—two upper and two lower— going through the j iw bone and im¬ bedding itself in the fl;shy part of his neck."

He stood 011 the corner of Bond street deep, and Piccadilly delivering n series of the guttural and heart felt reflections on mud, and particularly at a large and lavish display of it that had been spread over his attire by the wheel of a passing hansom. while *A woful apostle change of aestheticism 1ms come over Where the erst¬ a waist once existed there is now a billowy, bulging and complacent protuberance that wots not of sunflowers and lilies, nor yearns indicates for sickly yellows and pallid greens. It instead a rampant, clamorous and passion tossed yearning for beer that has been met by a generous hand. Mr. Wilde's outline would do credit to an al¬ derman His reddish hair was clipped elose and topped by a beaver hat in a cocky sort of fashion way, and his trousers were rolled up in a that allowed the ob¬ server’s eye free play over a pair of sturdy walking boots.
