A Sensational Damage Suit. Washington Post. Lynchburg, Va., Aug. 28. Suit has been instituted in the Circuit Court of Lynchburg by B. J. Holt against Thomas It. Turner, Henry S. Anderson, Samuel R. Carter, and W. N. Turner for $7,500 damages. Holt claims that he was assaulted and beaten by the defendants with out just cause and seriously injured. The defendants, on the other hand, claim that Holt insulted a girl , of about twelve years, a neice of the Turners; that he was offered the alternative of being prosecuted by law or of taking a whipping; that he chose the punishment, and was ac cordingly given a thrashing. Holt claims in the bill filed that he was strapped to a bench and beaten with a board, causing injuries which confined him to his bed for weeks, and which came near proving fatal. The parties to the suit are all well connected. Objected to Minister KUaing hi Bride. Green Backville, Va., Aug. 30. It may be a good long time before Rev. James P. Porter of Chincotea gue, kisses another bride without asking 'the groom's permission. Joseph McDuff and Miss Agnes Tul ley went to the residence of the minister the other day to get mar ried. The ceremony was performed, and as was the custom in this sec tion, the minister kissed the bride. The next instant McDufTs fist shot out and caught the minister in the jaw, laying him limp in the corner of the room. Friwnds seized the angry groom and explained to him that this was the custom of the ministers. McDuff was mortified, and as a peace offering drew forth two $10 notes which he tendered to the dazed and surprised clergyman. Those contemplating Hallowe'en festivities will be interested in The Designer for October, for in it are given novel and most entertaining suggestions for such affairs, quaint illustrations aiding the the descrip tion. October brides-to-be are es pecially considered in this number, for it contains bridal toilettes, a summary of a charming yet not ex travagant trousseau, and Etiquette Hints on bridal affairs. "Points on uress-maKing" treats oi the new sleeves for coats and jackets, and the fashion designs presented are chosen with marked reference to coming Autumn days. A short story of unusual interest by Charlotte Hall is entitled "A Daughter of the Sun down Sea," and is illustrated most artistically, as, too, is ihe bright lit tle comedietta by William Lincoln Balch, which tells the story of "Gay's Engagements." "Faint Heart and Fair Lady," the Ken tucky love story by Henry I leve land Wood, is continued in this Issue, and a short story for children, "What Teacher Taught Tom," should be of service not only to parents with restless offspring of tender years, but to kindergarten teachers as well. "The Model Kit chen" pictures and describes many articles that are probably new to Designer housekeepers, and less practical but certainly most attrac tive are articles of an entirely differ ent nature given under "Dainty Lace Adornments" and "Novelties in Crocheting." Health and Beauty' continues the treatment of the arms and hands, while "Household Hints,' "Nursery Love" and "Cookery" are as valuable ashey are appropriate to the season. Last, but by no means least, must be mentioned with much commendation the mil linery styles for Autumn head covering. David Porter Heap, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Lavinia Hart, Julian Haw thorne and John Brisben Walker are among others who consider the various phases of the Exposition. Under the direction of the editors of The Cosmopolitan, 205 photo graphs were prepared showing every variety of architecture and every phase of life, not neglecting the Mid way, at the Pan-American. These are engraved and printed In a style never surpassed in The Cosmopoli tan's high standart of art. The Cosmopolitan's Pan-American souvenir will be an even finer num ber than that of the Chicago Fair. The edition of the Pan-American Exposition number (Sept. number) is absolutely limited to 500,000. ITKCHER GUILTY OF MURDER- CSE HE USER Of TKE U8S SEMTEKCED F0I LIFE.

In general- there is an in crease of deaths from old age dis eases and a decrease in the diseases of infancy. While Infant deaths still constitute about one-third of the total, there is an encouraging falling off in deaths from infantile diseases. This improvement no doubt is due to better sanitation, purer water, and a more geueral observanea of the laws of health. The Average American is Well Fed.

The fraud was first discovered in United States assay office at Seattle where it was noticed that quantities of gold dust which should have run at about $15 an ounce did not run over $7. For a time this did not arouse suspicion. It was thought to be dust at low quality. Subse quently attention was drawn to the matter, by Mrs. Dignon of Seattle, who had received a gold nugget from her mother, Mrs. Woods of Dawson. This nugget Mrs. Dig non had taken to a jeweler to be mounted on a pin. While cleaning it with acid, the jeweler discovered that the nugget was not gold at all, but merely brass and copper with thick wash of gold. The matter was then turned over to the secret regarded as eccentric in some re spects and known to have had hoard- service officers and an investigation money beeran.

Mr. Newman had also stated that a bucket of gold could be found in the garden.
