The win r.ing definition is: "The row-colored sX'ctuc les through which we view ourselves." The following are some of the definitions sent in: The thin end of nothing sharpened to a point. The reflection of nothing seen in the glass of self con ceit. The tendency which most men have to keep their best goods in the front shop win dow. A bird that has a gorgeous wing, Yet has no beauteous song to sing. Fool's food. Emptiness priding itself on its contents. An attenpt to recommend ourselves by a behavior con trary to our real character. The minimum of egg a n d the maximum of cackle. The egotism of little souls. A hollow drum upon which any passei by may play. A merciful provision of na ture whereby fools are satis fied with theii folly. An inflated belief in the vastnesa of ou r supreme no th ingness. A mirror in which we al ways see the faults of others, but never our own. .A sensitive plant, which can not live without the sunshine of public applause. The peacock's tail of bu inanity. A grain of sand convinced that it is a mountain. The outward fullness of in ward emptiness. Everybody's private opin ion. The gilded robes in whbh ignorance wraps itself. A mean, petty conceit of any superiority, snowing the want of true greatness, A house of which the roof is emptiness, the walls shad ows, the windows ignorance, the doors conceit, ami of foun dation there is none. Self esteem caricatured. An undue sense of self ap preciation. Man'e meanest attempt to cheat nature. The incurable "1" affection which unfortunately blinds us all. Pride demoralized. The attribute that makes a farthing dip fancy itself an electric light. A small "I" rith a big doc. Concentrated essence of self opinion. The glory of raeen ambi tion. A permanent eagerness to bask in one's own splendor and to dazzle others by it. The difference between a fool's estimate of his own val ue and the estimate of the world at large. Pride in a state of efferves cence. An overdraft on one's per sonal account at the Bank of Self Esteem. The caricature of true am bitionregrettable in great men, laughable in small men.

Macon, C.A., Nov. 2 Dr.G. W. Kelly, one of the l ading pnysicinns of Jefferson coun ty, is in custody at Louisville" for killing his sister-in-law, who tried to rescue his 8 year-old daughter after he j had thrown the child in a forty-foot well. Kelly hud suddenly became a raving maniac. After being nrresti d he alternately chuck led and raved as he declaied what he hod done that God had told him to kill them both to save them from eter nal damnation. When the sister-in-law first realized that he doctor was insane he had then thrown his litil' daughter into the well. With a sudden scream she dashed .out to save the child. At this Kelly drew his revolv r and fired. The woman ran into the house and seeing lid oth er way of escape I a p e d through a window. As she did so the doctor fired again inflicting a wound in the hack. Her screams attracted neighbors, and after a severe struggle the madman was overpowered. Meantime the wails of the child in the well attracted a crowd to that point. What seems miracu lous she had not sunk below the water. Th1 bucket was lowered, the child got into it, and clinging to the rope was brought up. The wounded woman died! yesterday afternoon, but the child will live. Ccrbett May F'glit. A New York special dis patch says: The manage ment of the Coney Island Ath letic club is said to be great ly surprised over the manner in which it has been outgen eraled by the Olympic club of New Orleans which has just completed arrangements for another great fistic carnival, an international champion ship affair, during Mardi Gras week, the contestants being James J. Corbett and Charley Mitchell in the heavy weight class, Bob Fitzsim monsandJim Hall in the middleweight class and Jack McAuliffe, lightweight cham pion of Amenca, and Dick Burge, champion lightweight of England. Judge Newton, of the Co ney Island Athletic club, thought he was making a wise move when he left on a quiet trip to Chicago to se cure Corbett's signature for a oattle with Peter Jackson. He was clothed with author ity to make a generous offer in the shape of a purse for a battle between these two cel ebrated pugilists. He was thunderstruck when inform ed that Corbel t had already signed with Olymic club a t New Orleans to fight Mitch ell during Mardi Oras week, in February.

Tlkd 1000 Xili-s. New York, Oct. 18. May or (Jraut, of New York, pat in his olfice in this city to-day and talked to Mayor Wash burn in his office in Chicago The conversation was carried on over the longest telephone line in the world. The American Telephone Company has just finished this long-distance telephone, and this was the opening. The line is 1,000 miles long. The conversation was cur ried on in an ordinary tone of voice, nnd the gentlemen could hear each .)ther plain ly. Mayor (Jrant congratu lated Mayor Washburn o n the prospects of the World's Fair, and said he regretted he could not be on hand him self. The Mayor of Chicago answered pleasantly. Theconception of a long' distance wire between Chica go and New York was that o E. L. Hall, vicepresidentand general manager of theAmer i c ii n Telephone Company. Mr. Hall has hud this idea in view for fourteen years, and has worked at it near s i x years. The first. long-distance communication was effected between Philadelphia and N. Y. in 1S."i. It was shortly after extended to New Eng land States and t hen to Alba n.v and Buffalo. The next s p was the construction of the line between Chicago and Milwaukee. The work of ex leiision was then carried cast through Eastern Pennsylva nia, and a line was built from Uuffulo by way of Erie to Pittsburg. The extension to Chicago followed. The diffi culty of securing a good tel ephone service, it was found increased greatly when the distance exceeds 200 miles but Mr. Hall obviated the difficulties by using the best material, and also by using the metallic instead of the earth circuit. The wires are strung just balancing each other, and at intervals of 1, 300 feet they cross so as to prevent noise. The line b e -tween Chicago and New York has such important places on the route as Newark, Harris burg, Reading, Pittsburg. To ledo, Cleveland and Detroit, though Cleveland, through some misunderstanding, isnt yet connected. Complex Machines Meke Ifahpicg. Hairpins are made by au tomatic and very complica ted machines.

The hairpins are then put into a pan and japanned after which they are heated in an oven with a tempera ture of from 300 -iOO degrees. There are but four American factories. The largest are in Birmingham and Waterbury Conn., the other in Philadel phia and Brooklyn.

Chris Miller, known to the sporting world as the"Hobo ken Chicken," a smart little bit of a man who despite his German label hails irom the Emerald isle, lias conceived a startling idea which he in tends to carry out with two week's notice. Chris is fit ting up for a. ramble around the confines the U. S. He has studied all the latest maps, familiarizing himself with the lay of the land, and in a few days he will leave for New Or leans to set out upon his journey, accompanied only by a colored boy, a lot of his own photographs, a mackin tosh, a pipe and some smok ing tobacco. Leaving New Orleans about Nov. 1st, he will strike out along the gulf const, the Rio Grande river, and the United States boun dary to the Pacific coast which he will follow to Cali fornia, to Portland, and to the forty-ninth parallel of lat itude. Thence he will walk to the head of the great lakes and so on until his journey is completed at the starting point, New Orleans. Miller figures that the walk will occupy two years of his valuable time, as he will av erage in fair country twenty miles a day. No wager d e -pends upon the time, and he is not ambitious to make a record. His baggage will con sist of a knapsack contain ing the artielcs named. He will not burden himself with a change of linen, as he dm lay in a fresh supply at ev ery stopping place. He is no novhe as a traveller, as he has befrl over the best part of the world and he trusts to his ability as a fluent talker in French and German, which he learned at Heidleberg and English, which he mastered at his home in Dublin, a n d the sale of his pictures to car ry him through. A special from St. Augus tine to the Florida Times Un ion say;): At the opening of the school ceremonies for Co lumbus-Day Professor Kno- bloe read the following pray er, said to be the original words offered by Columbus when he landed on the Island of San Salvador. This pray er the Spanish king ordered to be used by Balboa, Corttz and Pizarro, when making new discoveries. It issaid to be the first translation ever k n o tV n to the American tongue, and was sent from the old cathedral at Seaville, Spain, by Miss A. M. Brooks, who is now engaged in com piling a Spanish history of America: "Lord God, Eter- mt and Omnipotent, by Thy sucredvord Thou has creat ed the heavens and the earth and the sea.

If a com par atively tender kii'd could be frozen up in uutumnand con tinue in that condition until spring had come, so that there wou'd be no change of condition during all of that time, it would be pretty like ly to come through all right. This uniformity of condi tion cannot be maintained unless great pains are taken to give protection before the actual setting in of cold weather, and then not as per feci ly as we would be glad to ha .e it; but by shading and breaking the effect of tne sun we can in a measore control co iditions, and this is what wf must aim at. ?y keeping the sun from th uving out a frozen plant we prevent the rupture ot ce Is which takes place when conditions of cold and warmth alternate .in great extremes. It will therefore be readily understood that m protecting a plant wearenot trjiug to keep the frost from it, or this cannot be done, but we are trying to keep the sun from undoing the work that the frost has already done. Plants in the house are of ten frozen; but by thawing them out era dually they are often saved, and frequent ly no great damage seems to have been done. But if they are obliged to go through this ordeal much in rapid sue cession they are sore to die. If outdoor plants can be saved from the rrpetitidn of a ftimi'ar ordeal it is possible to w inter quite tender kinds satisfactorily. If kinds whose cells are strong enough t o withstand the influence of al ternate periods of (-old and warmth can be so protected as to prevent them from be ing subjected to unnecessary experience of this kind, it quite naturally follows that they will come through the whiter in a much stronger condition than where they are left, exposed to our sud den ar.d frequent changes of weather. Because of this, I am an ad vocateof protection for all plants. It is absolutely nec essary for tender kinds, and advisable for the hardiest. Dcmorisfs Magazine.
