George Primrose is an old favorite in Richmond, and when he comes next ednesday, matinee and night with his minstrels, he is sure to be given a warm welcome.

Zolo derived his name from Zolla, which means a clod of earth; and he was proud of this derivation. Among his remote ancestors he traced Italian, uerman and Greek blood. His great grandfather and grandfather were officers In Venice under the last doges. In India alone the losses to the British army from typhoid fever amount to half a baUa'ion a yea". The latest In the roof of Durham castle, England, there has been discovered a bucket containing bullets and gunpowder. It is believed to have been walled up about the veir 141. when the castle was being prewired to with stand a Scottish raid.

WAS TOO GAY ON A TRAIN Passengers Broke the Ice and Threw the Shivering Son of Italy into the Frigid Water Was Left on the Bank. CPuMIshers' Pressl Ellsworth. Pa., Jan. 26. The smooth crystal ic$ covering a creek that parallels the track3 of the Monongahela and Washington branch of the Pennsylvania railroad was broken by passengers of a north-bound train a few minutes after it left this place and a troublesome Italian passenger. John Dravino was hurled into the icy water several times. He was left shivering, teeth chattering, on the bank, while the passengers boarded the train again and went its way. The Italian, having been put off the train for insulting passengers in the smoker, caught and entered the last car, in which there were many women, and amused himself awhile by knock ing o?T their hats. This soon became tiresome and John then embraced several women. He picked out the prettiest girl in the car and tried to kiss her. Many of the male passengers In the smoking car heard of the trouble and went to the car to see what could be done. The creek nearby attracted their attention and It was decided to give the offender a ducking, and he got it. THE DEED OF A BURNS WOMAN TO DEATH Neighbors Attracted by Her Piteous Cries, Prevented from Rescuing Her by Fiendish Murderer. IPubllshers Press. Gulfpori, ....o-., an. 2ti. A fiendish crime was committed In Soria City, near here, by Will Smith, colored, of Scranton, Miss., who burned to death Fanny Tigg, with whom he formerly lived. The woman is said to have come here from Scranton to get rid of Smith, who followed her. Neighbors were excited by piteous cries for help coming from the woman's home. They found the building in flames, but were prevented from rescuing her by Smith, who stood guard in the doorway until the wall began to totter. The dead woman is thought to have been tied, as she continued to scream for help until dead. When the officers arrived Smith said he was sleeping and awoke to find the house ablaze.. Smith was arrested. STRAIN TOO GREAT, Hundreds of Richmond Readers Find Daily Toil a Burden.

I was trying something for my trouble when heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, and got a box at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store.

MYSTERY SHROUDS . MUHDERCU3 ATTACK

Dr. C. W. Town send, New York Physician, Shot Twice Presumably by Burglar. REVENGE MAY BE MOTIVE WIFE OF THE INJURED MAN, ALSO A PHYSICIAN, WITNESSED THE , AFFAIR AND AT ONCE GAVE HUSBAND AID. IPubllshers Press New York. Jan. 26.--Dr. Charles W. Townsend of Staten Island was perhaps mortally wounded, presumably by a burglar. The assailant escaped after the shooting. Townsend was shot twice, one bullet penetrating the stomach and the other the hip. The case is surrounded by mystery, but it is believed Townsend was the victim of a man who sought vengeance for a real or fancied wrong. That it was not the act of a burglar, as at first believed, is shown from the fact that not a single article was taken from the house, although hundreds of dollars worth of jewelry and silverware were within easy reach. This is also borne out by stories tod the coroner by Dr. Townsend and his wife. Mrs. Townsend witnessed the shooting. The coroner declined to make known any of the Information given him by Dr. Townsend and his wife. To do so, it fa ciM mmiM rA trt Aofont thA endfl , of justice. -From this statement it is inferred that the identity of the assailant is suspected. Dr. Townsend and his wife were awakened by a suspicious sound in their bedroom and a moment later they were startled by the flash of a match, which revealed a man holding a revolver. Leveling the revolver at Dr. Townsend, the intruder ordered him to arise at once, and then, without waiting a moment, fired. The bullet grazed Townsend's body and buried ltelf in the bedclothes. Another shot followed almost instantly and the bullet entered Townsend's abdomen and pierced the intestines. A third bullet lodged near the heart. Having; thus completed his work, the assailant fled from the room, ran down the stairs and escaped, but how he got out of the house is not known, as every door and window was closed when help arrived. When Mrs. Townsend tried to call assistance she found two of the three telephone wires leading to the house were cut. The third, which was to the office In the lower part of the house, apparently was overlooked. Over this wire a servant in the stable was notified of the shoot ing and word was also given the po lice. Whlla awaiting the arrival of A the police Mrs. Townsend, who is a physician, dressed the wounds and made preparations for the operation, which Bhe knew was necessary in the effort to save his life. It is feared, j however, that even with prompt atten tion the wounds will prove fatal. The police were unable to find any trace of the man who fired the shots. All the doors and windows were securely locked and no marks of any kind were left by the fugitive. Despite these conditions, however, the coroner appears to be satisfied that the man will be apprehended. The Townsend home Is scarcely half a mile from the home of Charles L. Ipier, which not more than a year ago was the scene of a tragedy strangely like this. Spier was shot in his home during the night and died of his wound. It was at first believed he was the victim of a burglar, but investigation proved that he took his own life. In the Townsend home at the time of the shooting there were in addition to Townsend and his wife his aged mother and his four children, all of whom occupied bedrooms in the upper part of the house. A close Inspection revealed ' signs that the intruder gained admission to the house by forcing a window in the physician's office on the ground floo". Tracks were found leading from the house to the water's edge, and it is believed the assailant, after his crimes made his escape in a boat provided in advance - -".

Xc death sentence has been executed for some time According to a Government naturalist, crickets have a tendency to chim synchronously, or in time with each other. It is said by this scientist that they chirp more rapidly in warm than in cold weather. The increase has ewn been rated at four chirps a minute for one degree Fahrenheit rise In temperature.
