McCabe and Neffi however played a strong game andnre looked" on as likely aspirants i for the championship. The third match was the bestyof the entire afternoon. O. Harrington and Ed Wilson were pitted against Fred Wiggins and Frank Gardner. The match started late and darkness overtook it. The first set was finished, Wilson and Harrington winning by' a score of 8-G. In the second set six games were played, Wiggins and Gardner having the advantage getting four of the six. In this set Wiggins and Gardner started like winners, getting four straight. This team has been looked on as of championship caliber but Wigging was badly off in his play. Gardner is Earlham's representative in tennis and held up the bulk of the work on his side of the court.

On the Evidence. Murray 1 Tuley, who gave twentyflvo years of continuous service as Judge of the circuit court in Chicago, was noted for the strict Impartiality with which he rendered decisions, oven when" his personal bias was strongly the other wny. On one occasion, bavins heard a certain famous suit, he found himself impelled to hand down a decision repugnant to his own inclination "Do 5 tu mean you think the defendant was not at heart a swindler?" demanded an intimate friend, who dared complain of the finding. "Billy," said Judge Tuley solemnly, 'I took that evideuee to Arkansas with tte and studied It two weeks. Then I brought It home and spent ten days more on it. Then I said in my decision: "'So far as the evidence shows the

defendant is on upright and honorable

Christian gentleman.' " Fr far as the evidence shows, " repeated the Jurist slowly and with em

phasis Then he leaucd forward in his clii. placed a hand on the other's knee r.iul exclaimed, with an air of .vindication: "But, Billy, I didn't say I believed It!" Water.

Publishers' Press! Canonsburg, a., July 30i Elmer Dempster, 19, negro, was arrested! for the murder of Mrs. Samuel Pearceiand two children, and the wounding of a third child. Dempster was takenfrfrom here to the Washington county jail at Washington, Pa. No blood stains were found on the prisoner. Suspicion firstrested on him when it was leanned that he was the last person seen about the house before the tragedy. Dempster was ai helper on the Pearce farm. After the departure of Samuel Pearce with', his -sister. Miss Fanny Pcr-rce. for fhe Canonsburg railroad station, Dempster is said to have been at the scene of thp tragedy looking after the stock. He' was put through a course of sweating and, it is alleged, he ma do a complete .confes

sion. The only things missing rrom the Pearce home are $12, a few cents and the revolver with which Mrs. Pearce and her two children Vwer murdered. When Pearce returned home from the depot hc found smoke issuing from a bedroom, evidently started to conceal evidences of the murder. He stamped out the flames at once. Mrs. Pearce, 25, was shot through the breast; Margaret, 5, and Dwight, 11 months, wove fchot through the head, while Robert. 3, had a bullet through the lungs. Robert was removed to a hospital here in an effort to save his life. According to the story told in his confersion, the negro attempted to assault the daughter, after the departure of Pearce. but was frustrated by the mother, who went to a bureau to get a revolver to shoot him. The negro says he secured the gun first, and after killing the mother and shooting the children, set fire to the house to hide the crime. Washington, Pa., July 30. Dempster was safely lodged in jail here. The officers had an exciting trip from Canonsburg. Two attempts were made to take negro from them. Shortly after leaving Canonsburg, a crowd of about 20 men boarded the car and with shouts of "Lynch him! Kill him!" draggeu the prisoner and officers from the car. A fierce struggle followed, but the officers succeeded in keeping possession of the negro, and finally drove the mob of with revolvers. When Washington was reached nearly 300 people gathered at the court house, but the crowd was eluded by taking the piisoner through the basement to the jail.

ork. July 30. A ouiet. mod-

r is the wonder of Wall

street and financial circles through

out the country, just now. From an ordinary clerk in the central office of

i,' the American Express Company, in

i Broadway, he has developed in less

olis, outwitting the keenest sharps in

i he bond market, and realizing a snug

fortune of $10,000 on the invested

capital of a 2-cent stamp.

Wall street is doffing its hat to Isamuel Byerly, formerly of Indiana, and wondering what manner of man hie is to win out from 1.500 competit- . rs for $3,000,000 worth of Panama nnal bonds and then successfully to

A few days ago Mr. Byerly was one

Byerly related it to the representa

Ghost or Illusion? A. minister of the gospel, according to this tale, was walking to and fro in a long passage that ran through the house and meditating upon his next sermon. There brushed by him a housemaid. He watched herpass and enter his study. Fearing that she would disarrange his papers.' he hurried after her, wentflnto bis study and no one was there. No means of egress was possible but by th one door through which he had seen the girl enter. He rang the bell and the housemaid came down from the. top of the house, where shehad been (performing her duties. And .the unmaial part of the story is that nothing happened no one sickened .jud died. The young woman married happily. And yet that minister of the gsnel is sure that he saw that housemtld pass him. Nor to this day does his istout and happy matron know thafshe was ever in two places at once.

Wealth In Old Roman Times. Our wealth, as mich as we boast of it, is comparatively puny as compared with the wealth of men of old.

Otho spent over $14,000,000 in finishing one wing of a palace commenced by Nero. Nearly $30,000,000 was found dn the coffers of Tiberius, and CaligulaVspent 1t all in

VIRGINS' GARLANDS.

Memorials In an English Chnrch o Girla True to First I.ovr. There are seven "virgins' garlands" still In existence in Minsterley church, Salop, the first of tiiem bearing the date 1554 and the last 1751. They consist of silk ribbons and paper, ball shaped, and are covered with rosettes, the inside center of the cane or wire frame supporting a pair of paper gloves. They represent a romantic custom of very ancient origin and are sacred to the memory of girls who while betrothed in their youth lost their intended husbands by .death, yet remained true to their first loves. Each maiden designed her own garland, and at her death this simple emblem was borne before her by the village lasses, the white gloves being afterward added. After the obsequies these garlands were suspended in the village church on a rod bearing at its estremity a heart in the shape of an escutcheon, upon which the initials and date were inscribed. These were originally fixed above the maiden's pew. Some of the earliest and forgotten garlands were composed of real flowers, but later the covered hoops described were substituted. There is a passing allusion to this "simple memorial of the early dead" in "Hamlet." "Yet here she is allowed ber virgin crants," "crants" signifying FiMftriiDoaferayhJs,
