Culpepper, a leading and wealthy physician of Portsmouth, was found dead in his office with a bullet wound in the head and a pistol lying by his side. The words "broken health," in Culpepper's hand, were found written on a postal card on the physician's office desk.

NO MASONIC FORMALITIES Paris Police Authorities Prevent Catholics from Carrying Out Masonic Rites. ' - Publishers' Press. Fans, Dec. 28. There were serious disturbances at Masonic headquarters, where the police disbursed a crowd of Catholics, who forced an entrance, to the building and expressed their pur pose of carrying out certain Masonic rites. Certain members of the crowd previously made legal declarations at the prefecture of their intention to hold a public meeting.

Isew oritans, Dec. zs. a party 40 strike breaking firemen from St. Louis and Cincinnati arrived here and were located at quarters furnished by the Southern Pacific company. It is reported that union engineers are making no objection to the placing of nonunion firemen on their engines, and this conciliatory attitude of the engineers is said to be due to their opposition to the present demands of the firemen. - Japs Deported. El Paso, Tex., Dec. 2S. Immigration officers caught 18 Japanese at Palair, eight miles from here, on the Ric Grande river.

The Filipino people are elated over press reports that President Roosevelt contemplates visiting the islands next summer. The native press received the announcement with enthusiasm. Physians Wed. Cincinnati, O.. Dec. 2S. Dr. William Wherry, 32, married Dr. Marie B. Nast, 26. It is said they met at the bedside of a patient they ni?n. were attendin: Cnitivnle itesnlar Habit. There can be uo question that men of regular habits are healthier, happier, live longer and do more than those who obey caprice and impulse. . The adoption of hygienic habits saves the nervous system an enormous amount of friction and waste! It preserves vitality. Regularity economizes not only physical stamina, but time as well. The man who knows no system in the details of his life, who exhausts nature at the instance of a passing whim, who drinks and smokes to excess, who wastes the talents bestowed upon him is the one who must sooner or later fal a victim to disease. Regularity with moderation in all things should be the motto of life, and it should be remembered that regularity does not necessarily preclude the enjoyment of variety. A certain amount of variety -events mn from becoming a mere ichlne, but variety should not interne with those regular habits of life . hioh are necessary to the mainte nance of ' ; '

Queen Maud of Norway has a book of newspaper cuttings labeled "Things We Hare Never Said or Done." In this she pastes all sorts of fictions about herself, King Haakon and her friends. , The shah of Persia finds relaxation from the affairs of state In the use of the knitting kneedle and is evidently proud of the accomplishment, for when he was in England be presented a pair of silk stockings of his own making to the Prince of Wales. King Edward is said to have given clever advice to hi3 niece", Queen Victoria of Spain, when she complained to him of the restrictions of the punctilious etiquette of the court of Spain.

The Publishers Paper company, which has its mill at Portsmouth, N. IL. has just been making its first batch of paper, and it finds that salt water, which is the only supply available, serves as well in paper making as pure fresh water. Practically the first discovery of gold in Western Australia was made in 189L By the end of the century $44,000,000 of gold had been mined. The value of the mining machinery In use today is about 120.000.000, and there are fully 18,000 miners, who receive good wages.

O. Th machine is said to reduce the cost of bulb production to one-quarter the present figures.
A ROYAL WELCOME FOB GREAT STAR
Knights of Columbus Reserve Large Plat of Seats for Madame Modjeska. TO DECORATE THEATER FAMOUS ACTRESS WAS COURTEOUS TO KNIGHTS AT THEIR CONVENTION AND THEY ARE TRYING TO REPAY HER. When Madame Modjeska appears at the Gennett ' Monday night in "Macbeth, 'she will get a reception such as has never been accorded an actress in Richmond before. The Knights of Columbus will be responsible, pri marily for Modjeska's royal welcome. Because she was so untiring in her efforts to entertain the wives and laties of the Knights of Columbus at the National convention of the order at Los Angeles, her home, the local lodge will make a special effort to return the courtesy. Already the Knights have engaged a large number of choice seats on the first floor, for the peerformance and the matter of decorating the theater in the K. of C. colors is being considered. A beautiful floral offering will also be given the fam ous actress. Many lodges over the country have taken the same pains to give Modjeska a cordial reception when she appeared in their cities, as the local order is doing. Atty. William Kelley, who at tended the last national convention of the knights, said last evening that all who had been to Los Angeles felt es pecially kindly toward Modjeska as no one could have done more toward making their visit to Los Angeles more pleasant than she. Modjeska has been unable to take part in recent performances on ac count of a sprained ankle and Mana.' ger Swisher, desiring to know if she would appear here in person, telegraphed her manager yesterday. lie received this reply: t "Lexington, Ky.

Publishers' Press. London, Dec. 2S. All the members of the crew of the Japanese liner Awa from Antwrep to Middlesborough, which ran on the rocks off Red Car, were taken oft by the lifeboats. 'A telgram from Holyhead says an unknown vessel has foundered ofi Rhoscolyn Point, Wale3. Distress rockets were sent up and a life saving crew searched for hours, but found no sign of the vessel in distress. Nine persons were found frozen to death on roads in England during 24 hours. The list doubtless will be much lengthened when communication with localities snowbound is restored. THE SUBMARINES. Submarine science, like that of navi gating the air with certainty, is still "In its Infancy." Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. It will not take many more accidents to eliminate the submarine from naval armaments through the impracticability of obtaining crews. Philadelphia Inquirer. As experiments the boats are to be encouraged, but the navy generally Is probably correct in not attaching much military value to the type as it has thus far been developed. New Orleans Times-Democrat. CROPS.

As a general proposition, the people who owe you money won't even pay you good wishes. . The only way to tell whether a scheme is any good or not Is to try It and abide by the decision of the court whe,n it appoints a receiver for your business. f7A I AND e HCUftS.

A good opinion of yourself may be a material drawback to you unless you are able to impress it upon others. Along with horseless carriages and wireless telegraphy seem to come marriageless marriages.
