HE QUIT FOlt GOOD.
A SENSIBLE MAN WHO kWeW IT WAS
TIME TO LOOK TO HIS HOME.
"No, boy, I am going to quit this
time for good," said a melancholy young
in ii d to a crowd of cronies as they stopp-
ed him in front of a saloon and asked
hiui to "take something." "You know
I have been with you for years, and the
'painting' we have done has given this
town a vermillinn hue. But I must quit
now. It may go a little hard with me at
first, but in a short while I guess I will
be able to rid myself of all desire for
those jolly rants and revels that we have
had together. Yes, the resolution is a
sudden one, but it is none the less firm
" 1 ou see after 1 was married I quit
you fellows for a long time and then grav
itated baek to you. It was not that I
loved my wife any the less. I just got
careless and thoughtless. Somehow
seemed to think that since I was provid'
ing her with all the material luxuries of
life she ought to be satisfied. I didn't
intend to negleot ber, you know, and
thought she didn't care if I did come
down town occasionally at night.
"Since these nocturnal absences from
home have become so frequent I notice
that a change has appeared in her nature.
Her sparkling vivacity that used to
charm and electrify me commenced to
wane. Still she strives hard to appear
happy. But she is not the woman she
used to be. Her face has grown wan,
her cheeks sunken, and the merry gleam
has left her eye. When I arise in the
morning with reddened eyes and no ap
petite she looks at me pityingly and hugs
the baby closer to her bosom than I ever
noticed her do before.
"No, she has never spoken to me about
it. 1 ou see, that s the devil of it. If
she would just pitch in and give me a
tongue lashing her sorrowing look would
not make feel so like a dog. She just
looks that s all. Oh, no, she doesn't
fear for herself except as I am affected.
That look tells me plainer than words
that she feels I am killing myself and
will soon be lost to her. This morning
she told baby to kiss papa good
by. There was a strange pathos in her
voice when she spoke the words that I
never heard before. And then she turn
ed away and broke into low sobs that she
tried to hide from me.
"Good God, boys, I didn't think those
things ever existed out of the novels or
off the stage! Thai's the reason I tell
you that I have quit. I like you all,
know yon are splendid fellows, and that
you are my friends. But but er
she's the best friend I ever had or expect
to have, and and well, I'm going to
be her friend too " The crowd dispersed.
Nobody "took anything." St. Louis
Chronicle.
JOHN ALLEN'S LATEST.
"There are quite a number of citizens
here from tho South, but I am the only
prominent man I have seen from our sec
tion," said Congressman John Allen, of
Mississippi. "You remember the reply
of the man when asked who were at a
certuin meetiog. 'Myself and several
other prominent persons.' was what he
said. I am, as you see, suffering from a
sprained leg, I uot it running so hard
for f ongress in my district. Really, this
campaign of educution ou the tariff is
not altogether encouraging. Tho othor
dny I tried to show one of my colored
constituents the error of the Republican
policy of protection. He works for about
?8 smooth. 'Hiram,' said I, 'what did
you pay for tlmt lui&j you've got there
in your hand?' 'Fifty cents,' he said.
'Well, don't you koo,' I suid, 'that if
it wasn t tor tho tariff you oould have
got it for 25 ceuts?'. 'Jul)!' he said,
"what do I care fur a quarter?' " Chi
cago Letter in the St.f'Louis Globe-Dem
ocrat.
If yoa are troubled by a tickling sensa
tion in the throat and cannot sleep for
coughing you will find that a few tea
spoonfuls of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup will

ment, and in a duy or two it will be effec

HE WAS SHOT
THROUGH THE HEART AND YET LIVED
A REMARKABLE FACT REVEALED
BY A POST MORTEM EXAMINATION
A post mortem examination held over
William Tillman, colored, who was shot
and mortally wounded last Friduy night
by Ben Iluskins, revealed the remarks'
ble fact thut the bullet, a (112 calibre)
had passed through the negro's heart
notwithstanding which he lived un
til Tuesday afternoon. The bullet, Dr
Wilder says, passed through the right
ventricle of the heart. From the point
of entrance to exit was two inches. Th
bullet did not pass directly through the
centre of the ventricle, but rather in an
oblique direction. The track of the ball
from its entrance of the ventriclo to its
exit was three-quarters of an inch. The
post mortem was held by Dr. II. M. Wil
der, assisted by Drs. Faison and Mont'
gomery. The astonishing fact revealed
by it was an interesting theme of discus
sion yesterday amongst the medical fra
ternity. Such an occurrence has been
known in medical science but rarely
never before in this country. The negro
was up and walking about the morning
after he was shot.
Dr. Paul Barringer, of the University
of Virginia, who is at present in tho city.
says there is no record of such a remark
able wound occurring on either side dur
ing the late wai it is the first instance
he has ever known of a man being shot
through the heart and living for any pe
riod of time over a few minutes. Dr,
Barringer will take the heart to the
University of Virginia to be placed with
the specimens in the medical department
Charlotte Observer.
ON THE SITUATION.
A Washington special to the Balti
more Sun says: Congressman Springer,
of Illinois, chairman of the Committee
on Ways and Means, returned to this
city last night in full health. In the
course of an interview he says that the
people of the country are entitled to a
thorough revision of the tariff, and the
work ought to be done as early as possi
ble. An extra session seems to him to
be absolutely necessary. The new tariff
bill, ho added, cannot be modeled on the
lines of the Mills bill, for that measure
was framed in response to Mr. Cleveland's
exhibit of a surplus of 8100,000,000 in
the Treasury. The ocxt tariff must open
the way toward an increase of the reve
nues, not their reduction. There is an
absolute necessity, Mr. Springer contin
ued, for au extra session to provide means
for meeting the threatened deficiency in
the Treasury un the 1st of July. While
the deficiency must be met, no new im
position must be placed upon the people.
STATE PENSIONS.
State Auditor Sanderlin and his assis
tants have been busily engaged in send
ing out pension warrants. The amount
this year is 897,000, an increase of $10,-
OUU derived from the additional tax paid
by railroads, thanks to Senator Aycock's
committee and the Railroad Commission.
This year those who are incompetent to
perform manual labor (there are 511 will
get $08; those who lost a leg above the
knee, or an arm above tho elbow, (there
are 23G) will get 851; the 36G who lost
a foot or leg below tho knee, or hand or
arm below the elbows, or have a lee or
arm reudered utterly useless by reason of
a weund or permanent injury, get $34;
the 1,239 who lost one eye and to all
widows remaining unmarried, and all
other soldiers who are otherwise disabled
to perform manual labor by reason of
wounds received while in the Confederate
service, get $17.
Mr. G. S. Mason, 184 Huron street,
Toledo, 0., speaks like a man who thor
oughly believes what he says. He writes
from his home: "Salvation Oil only
costs 25 cents and I want to state to you
here myself and wife value it tii'ty times

tism this week.
MAN EATING FKOGS.
THIS YARN FROM GEORGIA WOULD MAKE
MUNCHAUSEN BLUSH.
Savannah News.
I'eoplo living on tho line of the Chick
aruauga aro excited over a number of
strange and enormous frogs that infest
the neighborhood. These frogs were
brought from the Mississippi swamp in
1886 and put in the Chickamauga river.
They are said to be of enormous size when
grown. These, being very small when
brought, aro just now beginning to show
what they can do. One has been catch
ing chickens, but they live principally
upon fish. When the fish are driven
away by high tide and they are starved
for a few days they will attack a person
The one that passed through Lafayette
would have been captured, but the man
had to go to his house for his gun, and
the frog made one leap and was out of
reach of a fair shot after devouring quite
a number of chickens. The Lafayette
Messenger reports that M. M. Burrows,
Mr. Manly, and his son William were out
in the bottoms a few days later and dis
covered one of these frogs on the river
bank. The men, seeing the danger they
were in, immediately made an attempt to
get away. Mr. Manly, being an old
man, directed his course to an empty cot'
ton house which was near by for refuge.
Just as he was entering the house the
frog seized his coat tail, leaving him al
most breathless and with nothing but
the shoulders and sleeves of his coat.
I f I . - m
a lew minutes later Monroe came
near the house where Mr. Manly had
taken refuge, and seeing the frog tussling
with the fragments of the coat, and fear
ing that it had devoured his father and
brother, made a determined attack on the
creature, but was forced to retreat after
being badly hurt.
FREAK OF NATURE.
THE IMPRINT OF A HUMAN FACE UPON
' A BABY'S HAND.
The little bamlet of Roseburgh, S. C,
is to the fore with a curiosity which is
ahead of all others. This is a 3-weeks
old baby, whose right band bears the
impriot of a human face. The face oc
cupies nearly the whole palm, and is as
clearly outlined as if drawn on porcelain.
It is the countenance of a little child
about throe years old lying asleep, with
the eyelashes drawn in fine dark lines on
the full cheeks. The mouth seems to
be slightly parted and the lip; are deli
cately tinted.
The baby whose palm contains this
singular portraiture is the child of Clark
Osborne, a thriving merchant of Rose-
burg, and Mrs. Osborne declares that the
face in the infant's palm is that of a little
girl she lost about three months before
the baby's birth. Relatives and intimate
friends also profess to be able to see a
strong resemblance to the dead child.
When the baby was first put in its
mother's arms, she looked at the hands,
and with a loud cry fainted away, but on
coming to herself exhibited the little
creature's hands to tho attendants, who
saw at once the strange likeness to the
dead and gone sister. Mrs. Osborne was
at first much frightened over the singular
circumstance, but at last became con
vinced that this strange portrait was sent
to comfort her. Physieiaus say, bow-
ever, that the mother's curcssos of he
doad child impressed the unborn infant,
who merely repeated ber mental pictures
of the little girl as she lust beheld it.
The image on the palm was much
clearer the first few duys of the baby's
life thuu now, and is thought to bo grad
ually fading. The family are very sensi
tive on the subjeot, and have refused to
show the child except to relatives and
most intimate fiiond, but a dime muse
um manager has already made proposi
tions, which have been declined Phila
delphia Times.

BROWN'S IRON BITTERS i
A NEW RELIGIOUS CREED.
THE HOLY ONES THEY WORSHIP IN
THE OPEN AIR GIVE UP TnEIR JEW
ELRY. For more than a year thcro have been
around Raleigh white and colored peo
ple who claim to be holy, and they have
been preaching and proselyting all they
could to their peculiar religious belief.
When this sect was first started in this
city it was by a white man and several
white women. After they had been
here for a few months they left and were
succeeded by a negro man by the name
of E. Loney, who came here from Rich
mond, Va. Loney claims to be sent of
God to give the last warning to the saints,
and admonishes his heroes to sell all their
property and give it to the sustenance of
the Gospel. ,
With Loney came women and they
have been preaching and exhorting in
and around Raleigh for the post year.
He teaches that unless men and women
are sanctified by the Gospel before mar
riage, they are violating God's law I
living together as man and wife. Thou
who were married before they were sam -tilled
must leave their wives and husband
or they will be lost and damned forever.
The Holy ones prefer to follow thi
example of the early Christian and
worship in the open air, they do not go
into a building unless compelled to do so
by the weather. At every meetiog they
call upon all members to give up all their
jewelry, declaring that they cannot be
holy unless they give up all property of
this character. The ornaments and
trinkets arc usually taken off and piled
up together in a heap on the ground,
surrounded by (he congregation, and
then Loney and the four women tuke
possession of it and it is never seen any
more by the former owners.
They also teach that it is wrong to
call in a physician in the event of sick
ness, saying that God will do his will
with the sick if he desires they will
recover and get well, otherwise, they will
die and no physician could save them.
One colored woman is known to have
carried tho doctrioe so far tbat she would
allow no physician to attend her sick
child and the result was death. I
There is a feature of Mormonisin also.
They teach tbat the men of the sect may
have as many wives as they choose, if
the women also belong to the sect, and
that they may barter with the male mem
bers for a new wife provided the woman
belongs to the holy ones.
This ne"? religious sect has rapidly
increased and now numbers several hun
dred. Buroin Snipes and J. Wilcox, of
Mason village, have been converted and
liavo joined and have been assisting
Loney in preaching and exhorting. Maoy
women havo been turned nearly crazy by
these doctriues, and many of them have
sold their personal property and given it
to these three men and have joined the
sect and left their husbands and children.
Loney, Snipes uud Wilcox have taken
up with the wives of other meu. T o
weeks ago these three men and fifieen
women left Raleigh for Wilmington,
where they are reported to have been
preaching in the Sum Jones Tabernacle.
Snipes took with him Easter Shepherd,
the wife of Wasliiugtoo Shepherd, and
on Thursday last tho outraged husband
retained Mr. J. (J. h. Harris for the
purpoio of having his wife brought back
uud to bring Suipes to the bar of justice.
