COLORED MAN CONFESSES TO DEED

THE CITY IN BRIEF

Try one of Price's Egg f rappes ; they are fine. Father Spellman of New Castle is visiting with friends in this city. Mrs. David Hastings and her daughter, Miss Belle Hastings of Pittsburg, Pa., are visiting Mrs. Sharon E. Jones. Jason Holloway of New Castle was here on business yesterday. Those Egg drinks at Price's are delicious and . nourishing. Mrs. S. Winold of Cincinnati has been visiting Mrs. L. H. Bunyan. They went to Fountain City yesterday to attend the District meeting of the Woman's Missionary society. Price's Ice Cream is the very best made from pure sterilized cream, eight flavors. Grace Church Epworth League will hold an all day market tomorrow at the corner of 9th and Main street. It Phosphate drinks are cool and refreshing; you get them at Price's. A. O. Snively and family have moved from Lynn to this city. A box of Price's Chocolates will be nice to take to that picnic. Phillip Robbins and Norman Craighead will leave in a few weeks for a trip through the west.

Brrrrr-Brrrrr. Hello. Is this the police department? "Yes'm, what is it? "There's a man sitting down on the river bank at the foot of North Fifteenth street. He's acting queer, and

t think hfs the crazy man. who es

caped from Easthaven."

"All right: we'll send a man down

right away."

Repeat the same dialogue three times

In less than five minutes, only changing the designation of the place from

Fifteenth street to North J and Tenth

street, the North Tenth street dump and then back to Twelfth street and

the river. That will give some idea of the frequency of the telephone calls received by Sergeant McManus about 9 o'clock this morning. All related to the presence of an unknown man who

was suspected of being insane.

With no more definite information

Patrolman Edwards was dispatched,

It was only a few minutes later that he made use of -the telephone and inform

ed headquarters that the man could not be found. McManus remembered

the days when hesed to chase bellig

erents through the river bottoms and

set forth to assist Edwards. About 10:30 o'clock the two located a peculiar acting man along the river bank, but it was not the one, whom the police had expected to find. It is Emanuel Matthews, a resident of the North End, who fell into the toils. The officers

had counted upon locating Thomas

Wilson, the fugitive from Easthaven.

Matthews mind has been affected for

some time and this morning his actions were such as to attract the notice of

residents of the North End, who noti

fied the police. The man has not been declared insane, but his peculiar behavior of this morning and the fact

his mentality is known to be weak

probably will resultin a sanity inquest

The asylum patient has not been locat

ed by the hospital attaches nor the po lice.

A PECULIAR SPIDER.

Ho Catches Birds as Big as Larks In

His Mammoth Web.

Far tip in the mountains of Ceylon there ia a spider that spins a web like

bright yellowish silk, the central net of which Is five feet in diameter, while

the supporting lines, or guys, as they

are called, measure sometimes ten or twelve feet, and, riding quickly in the early morning, you may dash right

into it, the stout threads twining round your face like a lace veil, while, as the creature that has woven it takes up

bis position In the middle, he generally

catches you right In the nose, and,

though he oldom bites or stings, the contact of his large body and long legs Is anything but pleasant If you forget yourself and try to catch him, bite

he will, and, though not venomous.

his Jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak, and you are not likely to forget

the encounter.

The bodies of these spiders are very

handsomely decorated, being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the

upper part is covered with the most delicate slate colored fur. So strong

are the webs that birds the size of

larks are frequently caught therein

and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim. A writer Bays

that he has often sat and watched the

yellow monster measuring, when

waiting for his prey, with his legs

6tretched out, fully six Inches striding across the middle of the net and noted

the rapid manner In which he winds his stout threads round the unfortunate captive. He usually throws the colls about the head until the wretched victim Is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented dark nooks of the jungle you come across most perfect

skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares.

Violet Ink the Cheapest. "Look here, you, a literary man can't afford the extravagance of violet ink." The literary man tore thoughtfully a pendent piece of leather from the sole of his shoe. "I know," he admitted, "that violet Ink costs thrice as much as black, but black corrodes a pen in a week, whereas violet is noncorroslve, and with its use it is possible to make one pen last six or seven months. The late Russell Sage, who used violet ink exclusively in his office, revealed this great truth to me during my brief clerical career in his office." Exchange.

Didn't Want to Be Singular. It was in the drawing room after dinner that they discussed an absent maiden friend's bad points with the usual grim and scathing glee. Having thoroughly dissected her personal appearance, they next paid attention to her mental shortcomings. "She is a very singular girl," spake the one. Tes, Indeed." responded her companion. "But, then, that is not her fault, for I never saw a girl so anxious to be plural." Argonaut

St. Petersburg, June 19. Russia has

instituted inquiries with regard to the

exact wording of the speech alleged to have been' made by Emperor William of Germany at Doberltz recently on the occasion of the cavalry maneuvres, but no further action will be taken. In this address the Emperor is

said to have intimated that Germany was ready to defend herself against all possible enemies. The Foreign Office here recognizes

the right of a monarch to express him

self freely on military questions be

fore a military audience and little concern is felt. The incident, howev

er has avoked a number of condemnatory articles in the St. Petersburg

press. The spirit of the newspapers is gen erally hostile tb Germany.

Baby Clothes of a President.

in the corner of the National mu

seum, attached to Independence hall

and under a neat glass case, there is a little suit of silk baby clothing that seems to attract much attention, espe

cially from the women visitors. It includes a tiny cap, dress, waistband and handkerchiefs made, according to the card attached, "for the sixth president of the United States by the wife of the second," Mrs. John Qulncy Adams. As her eldest son. John Quincy Adams, was born In 1767 and the tiny suit was evidently worn only a few times in his earliest infancy. It Is now more than 140 years old. As evidence of maternal love and care the many delicate cross stitches in colored silk are preserved with marvelous delicacy. They are sure to attract admiring remarks whenever a group of matrons or stylishly dressed younger women bend over the case. Philadelphia Becord.

Discontent. When discontent seises upon the mind it is like the deadly cancer, reaching out with its tentacles for sound flesh to feed upon. It must be checked In its incipient stage. The caustic of self arraignment must be unsparingly used and the salve of cVnmoa sense liberally applied. Self treatment is necessary to insure a care.
