A FIEND IN HUMAN FORM DELIGHTS
IN MURDER.
Wl»« l» Itoln* Examined (or Homlaldal
Mania—Official Declaration. From the
Italian aovarnmant—IJad Wflther
Croat Britain.
London, Not. 1#.—At the inquest
DT er the remains ot Lawrence Salter,
U yetre of age. an apprentice on board
her majesty'a training ship Boecawen,
who waa killed at Weymouth hr being
pushed over the cliffs facing the sea by
another apprentice named John Wise,
15 years of age, belonging to the same
ship, the jury rendered a verdict of
’•Willful murder" against Wise. This
name is attracting unusual attention
from the fact that Wise seems to be a
lend in human form who delights in
murder, and is pleased at the proepept
of being hanged, and because the young
criminal, claiming to be of' American
parentage, aaeerte that he has previ-
wnsly murdered auother hoy by drown
ing him. Wise, in telling of the man
ner in which he had killed -Salter,
laughed heartily and' YeniaVked' tliat
"Larry aquirmed lorely.” Later Wise
said that he bad drowned the other boy
he had murdered by pushing him into
the water and holding him there until
he drowned. The body, he added, had
floated away, and he (Wise) said that
he bad felt ever since that he most kill
somebody on land, so that the finding
of the body would prove hie story
which he told was tree. Wise, in con
clusion, said that he had nothing
agalASt Salter, bnt that this was the
first favorable opportunity he had had
of committing ’ another murder, and
that he embraced itas the only way of
getting hanged. Wise, who is sup-
poted to be suffering from homicidal
mania, is being examined by Dr. Forbes
Winslow, the noted expert in insanity;
NOT 8ETTLED YET.
i> Official Declaration la Regard to the
Now Orleans Lynching.
Rome, Nov. 19.—In view of the state
ments that have been circulated of the
alleged settlement of the difficulties be
tween the United States and Italy in
regard to the New Orleans lynching, the
foreign office has felt It necessary to Is
sue an official and authorized declara
tion. This has been made pnblic
through Deputy Ferrarias, and is to the
effect that since the departure of Baron
Fava from Washington, there has been
no communication and no exchange of
views with the United States govern
ment with relation tc the New Orleans
affair, and that Minister Porter does not
carry to America any proposals relative
to a settlement. The Italian govern
ment has dropped the subject, with the
ho[ie that time would bring about a
satisfactory solution.
Great Damage Urpnrtnl.
London, Nov. 19.—There appears to
bfe no end to the stories of damuge re
sulting from the phenomenally bad
’eatber that has been prevailing in
rest Britain. The latest Story of dis
aster conies from Somerset, one of the
southwest comities of England. The
heavy rains which accompanied the se
vere gales of last week filled the rivers
to a dangerous point. At night the
bank of the River Parrett, at a point
where it was not particularly strong,
gave way nnd the water rushed through
the crevasse and flowed to a consider
able depth over the farms. The dam-
ntM already caused by the inundation is
placed at $350,000, nnd it is believed
tb it unless the flowing waters are soon
turned bsck into the river the loss will,
ainonnt to an enormous sum.
No Fines (or film.
Until ten years or more ago the Texas
Pan Handle, through several months ot
each year, afforded pasturage for vast
herds of bison, commonly kuown as the
bnffalo, an animal which, in its wild
state, at least, has almost entirely van
ished. On a cortaln occasion two gen
tlemen, prominent in Texas politics, were
hunting iu the bnffalo region, and one of
them, getting within range of a herd
of the ruminants, brought down a large
bull.
Knife in band, the hunter was ap
proaching his quarry, when all .at once
it rose,'bellowing and ready for busi
ness. Since the gun waa empty, fligbt
was the sportsman's only recourse, and
an instant later u wild eyed man was
seen tearing away, with a furious brute
closely following.
Hunter number two, meauwbile, was
watching tbe scene from a hilltop, too
far off to be of the slightest assistance to
Ilia companion.
A tragic termination of tbe cbnae
seemed inevitable, for the fleeing gentle
man wgs ta heavyweight, and already
the space between pursuer and pursued
began to diminish. Suddenly the fugi
tive was seen to strike off at an angle,
and the breathless watcher heaved a
sigh of relief when his friend's objective
point was found to be a cave but a few
rods away.
At the very entrance to this seeming
place otsafety, however, the fleeing man
turned aside and dashed with such frantic
speed across the plain that a marked
gain was made upon his pursuer.
Bnt this could not last long, and final
ly, the fugitive's strength ntteriy fall
ing him, be fell completely exhausted,
while the buffalo, faint from loss of
bipod, dropped at almost tbe same in
stant and within less thnn a rod of tbe
prostrate man,
Hunter number two now came up, and
bis first question was:
“Why didn’t yon ran into the cave,
colonel? That would have shielded you
from the buffalo.”
Buffalo!" came the panting but con
temptuous response; “why, general,
there's a bear iu that cave as big as two
bnffalo!”—Youth’s Companion.
How * Cuw»rri Feet*.
It is a humiliating confession to make,
but, physically speaking, I am an arrant
coward! And yet, so far as formation
of body goes, I ought not to fear to cope
with any ordinary being or dauger.
I am young, tall, have’achest measure
ment of nbont thirty-nine inches, and
am, I believe, thoroughly muscular.
How 1 have tried to overcome tbia
feeling of cowardice, bnt In vain! At
tbe first sign of my being involved in
danger I tarn deathly pale, my heart
beuts wildly, and I am seized with such
a fit of trembliug that my legs almost
give way beneath me. I am also ren
dered nearly speechless, for my voice
qnavers to such, an extent .that I can
scarcely articulate words.
And my friends actually wanted me
to join the army!
“No." 1 said to myself, with a sickly
smile. '“The pen Is mightier than the
sword,' so I’ll stick to the pen.”
What a noble soldier I should have
made! I am sitre that, in the event of
being "ordered to the front,” I should
have deserted at the first opportunity.—

There nre a great many articles left in

tlie number of toothbrushes left far out

porter said: -We are required to turn

tho company. These articles nre labeled
nnd laid away in a building especially
constructed. There is hardly u trip that
Ido not tnrn iu at least two lost tooth
brushes. 1 suppose all other porters find
equally ns many. There is a simple
reason why toothbrushes are lost.
“When a person nses his brash lie does
not like to pnt it back in tbe satchel
while it Is wet, and therefore bo lots it
remain out awhile to dry. Thun he for
gets it, and it folia into onr hands. I
don’t know what the company does with
the immense number of toothbrushes,
bnt I suppose they sell them to some
person who cleanses them and in tnrn
sells them to different drug stores.”—
