the Body into a River.
A New , N ork despatch says: A brutal
`;:eaurder, the sole incentive to which was
robbery,, was committed in Harlem this
morning. The victim, evidently a laborer,
lits.. , remains unidentified. About two
o'clock the murdered man was standing on
the.:corner' of Second avenue and 129th
•treet fntoxieated. Two men, John Reilly,
alias " Pop" Reilly, aged 26 years, and Ed-
ward Dooley, aged 23, known thieves, were
seen to speak to the murdered man. Dooley
accosted. him, but the man made no reply,
and the former struck him on the face,
.knocking him down. Reilly lent a hand in
'the assault, and both pounded their victim.
The victim managed to regain his feet and
staggered across the street. His assailants
followed and again beat him. Reilly made
a systematic search of the man's pockets" in
responte > to Dooley's -command to " go
through him." Then they led their victim
to the river front and placed him where he
would fall into the water. One Harry C.
Turner witnessed .the murder and notified
an officer. The body was found 'floating in
the river. The murderers were arrested.

the doughty sea warrior had his pockets

An Old Man Murdered and a Little Girl's
Head Crashed.
A Bay City, 'Dlich., despatch says : An-
other awful murder has been added to the
black list of this county. Last night Joseph
Lomnitz was found in his house on Fifteenth
street with his head crushed in,, and other
marks of violence about his body. In the
adjoining room was found his 5,year-old
child with the aide of her face crushed by
some blunt weapon, evidently a hammer.
The dead man's wife left home about 6
o'clock and went down town. She returned
shortly after 9 and found the doors of the
house all open. She went into the kitchen,
lighted a lamp, and a horrible sight met her
eyes. On the floor in a pool of blood lay
the • dead body of her husband. A search
revealed the little girl in the adjoining
room on the bed unconscious, blood stream-
ing from a ghastly wound on the face. In
another room was found another child sleep
ing. Evidences of a fearful atruegle were
visible in the kitchen, chairs overturned
and other furniture displaced. In the front
room was a bureau with one drawer pried , o
open, from which $8.5 had been taken. The 1''
murderer evidently entered at the front?
door, and was detected while,trying to open o

The Oar.
There was a jovial gathering last night in
the rooms of a well-known local oarsman to
see the old year out and the new year in.
,Among the guests were champion William
O'Connor and Fred. Plaisted, " the
champion of China," who aecom_ parried Mr.
O'Connor from New York. Mr. Edward
Harlan, " the boy in blue," just returned
from the Pacific coast yesterday, was
another of the guests. Ned is a bit sore at
the scurvy treatment he received from the
San Francisco newspapers, but he was
treated as any Toronto rowing man will be
in that city. Hanlan will probably go back
to San Francisco next spring and beat

O'CONNOB TO OARSMEN.
Champion Oarsman O'Connor has issued
the following challenge in New York papers;
Having read numerous challenges from John
Teenier, George IL Hosmer, Jake Gaudaur,
etc., who profess they are eager to row, I wish
to inform themthat 1 hold the challenge cup,
which represents the championship of America:
and I stand ready todefend it against all
comers. I will row any man in either hemis-
phere three miles, either straight away or with
a turn, for$2,500 to $5,000 a side, the trophy and
the championship of the world.
To prove that I am in earnest I have
depo,ited $500 with Richard K. Fox. Now, if
Teenier, Gaudaur or ,any other__. oarsman- is
eager-fo`r'e match, all he will have to do is
cover my deposit and forward articles of
agreement. I shall be ready to row any time
in June or July. FIrst come,_ilrst served.
JOHN TEEMER'S INTENTIONS.
John Teemer will declare himself early in
the spring. His splendid condition makes
him feel that the present season will be a
prosperous one for him. He will challenge
his old rival, Jake Gaudaur, and later, with
George Hosmer as partner, will issue a chal-
lenge to the champion double -scull crew,
O'Connell and Hanlan.

A Man Who Deprived. Himself of All tie

I was walking with Jones then:ether Oily
when he suddenly ' stopped, said a Detroit
Free Press reporter. " i yil
e " For heavens sake !" he exclaimed, with
e a wild face, " why didn't you keep me
from doing that ?"
" Demo whet 9 I . asked in complete

best way is to select him yourself, as taste
differ, says Fred May in the Minneapolis
Spectator. Do not go to the market for
him ; the beat are always brought to your
home. Having caught one, you must learn
how to cook him, to make a good dish fail
your home.
Some men are roasted too much in cooking
and some keep them constantly in hot
water, while others freeze them in conjugal
coldness. Some keep them in pickle all
their lives. Such women serve them up
with tongue sauce. A little spice improves
them, but must be used with judgment.
Now it is not to be supposed that husbands
will be tender and good if treated in this
way, but they are very delicious when
managed as follows :
Get a large preserving kettle, called the
kettle of carefulness, which all pod house-
wives should have on hand. Place your
husband in it, and place it near the fire of
conjugal love. Let the fire be clear, and
above all let the heat be constant ; cover
him over with affection ; garnish him with
the spice of pleasantry ; add a little sugar
in the form of what confectioners call
kisses ; let • them be accompanied
with a sufficient portion of secrecy,
mixed ' with prudence and modera-
tion. .'Nexer use vinegar or popper on any
account. In getting him ready for the
kettle, see that the linen you wrap him in
is of the best and the tie strings newly
sewed on. Tie him in by a strong silk cord
called comfort, keep your cover of duty
well over him and your steady fire of love
burning bright.
Do not stick him with a fork to feel if he
has become tender, but stir him gently, and
you can not fail to know when he is done.
If he should sputter and fizzle do not be
alarmed. Some do this until quite done ;
for, like the lobster, he is cooked while
alive. When done, take him from the
kettle and place him at your neatly spread
table, and serve him a good dinner. Unless
you become careless or set him in a cold
place, he will keep well cooked in this way.
Now to be fair we must look at the other
side. The husband who is prepared for his
home table in this way must always come
home ,good-tempered, leaving business care
behind, and do not vent its annoyance on
your wife. Make yourself agreeable to your
wife and friends. Be' lenient to your wife's
faults. Be punctual at your meals. Re-
member a cook cannot keep a dinner wait-
ing without its being spoiled. If you should
be in a hurry do . not expect she has two
pair of hands. Be as kind and attentive to
her as ypu were before your marriage.
Don't beafraid of a little fun at bonne and
make her shut the house up for fear the sun
should fade the carpets, for a merry heart in
the home does good, like medicine. Home
should be a woman's heaven in the world,
and if your wife keeps your home in order,
her meals regular and well served, and does
her best to please, let her see you appreciate
her, and she will be preserved in the jar of
perfection, as you have been cooked in the
kettle of carefulness.
e " Nonsense !" I declared, and Jones
a looked grieved, but held his peace.
That very night at supper Jones spilled
his salt, and he cast at me a look of dismay
that would have been comical but for the
mental anguish it expressed.
In the neighborhood of 12 that very
night I was awakened by Jones—we were
bachelor friends, and occupied the same
room.
"What's the matter ?" said I.
" Don't von hear it ?"asked Jones in
per-
fect agony, with the point of his peaked
nightcap nodding over his face in the most
dejected manner imaginable.
At that moment I did hear it—a long,
unearthly howl from a neighbor's dog. 51y
own blood chilled for an instant, and then I
shook off the feeling immediately.
" What of it?" I asked pettishly.
" What of it 7" repeated Jones reproach-
fully. " Why, it's one of the worst signs
in the a orld. Somebody's going to die.',
" Mr. Jones, I'm sorry indeed to be the
bearer of bad news, but—"
Jones turned white and fell against the
fence.
"But what ?" he gasped. • ern
" Well, your grandmother.:died this m
in'" There," sighed Jones, turning to me,
" what did I tell. you, Snifkina? Those-
signs
hosesigns we were talking about can be de-
pended on every time."
" And left you $10,000," continued De
Smith.
. "You owe me the cigars my boy," said I
calmly as Jones braced himself up.
" Wait. Did she leave any one else any-
thing ?"
" Yes, she remembered your cousin, Ned
Huston, by a cool $50,000."
" Good luck, eh ? said Jones, turningto
me once more ; " I've been looking for- •
ward to that $50,000 for the last ten years,
and here's what 1 get. That's a blow be-
tween the ribs, old fel. There's a cigar
store. Come in, De Smith. It's on Snit-
kins.
" The whole neighborhood hears that
dog," I returned, " and I can't see why the
dickens you want to worry about all crea-
tion. - Go tis sleep and bo sensible."
" I can't go to sleep.' I'm so nervous and
fidgety. l'm going to have some bad, luck,
now you see."
" Look here !- I'll bet you the cigars you
have a run of good luck inside of twenty -
fours hours." -
" Pll just take that bet," said Jones in a
hopeless voice, and I turned over and went
to °sleep, while he walked the room all
night.
The next morning at breakfast Jones
dropped his knife. Later on he tipped
over his salt again. Then he fell down the
steps as we' started away, and finally
tore his coat on a protruding nail in the
gate" had unlucky signs enough to over-
whelm me—there 1 did you see that cross-
eyed man pass us ? That means calamity,

On the next corner we met De Smith, a

A NERVOUS HEADACHE.
Be Cured With Hot Water and a
Good Rest.
It has been a hard day, and the tired
lines in your face show it. The muscles of
the face have lost their firmness, and the
l nes about the cheek and mouth and eyes
droop wearily. You look ten years older
than you know you are, and you feel sadder
than you have a right to be. Worse than
all, a sharp pain shoots from the left temple
over the forehead and down the left side of
the face. You know that means a nervous
headache and a night of agony unless some-
thing is done quickly.
Try this : Slip off your bodice and bare
your neck. Twist your hair into a loose
knot on the top of your head. Then take a
sponge and a basin of hot water—just as hot
as you can bear it. Pass the hot, wet
sponge slowly and steadily over the face.
and. forehead for eight or ten minutes,
keeping the sponge as hot as it can be
borne. By that time your face will look
and feel as if it were parboiled. But don't
worry. Then bathe the back of the neck as
you have done the face, carrying the sponge
each time well up the back of the head.
Keep this up for the same length of time
then, without looking at yourself in the
glass, because that would he sure to dis-
quiet you, dry you face and neck softly
and go and lie down flat on your back.
e• Close your eyes and think of just this one
" thing : how heavy you areon the couch
g and how easily it supports you. That is
really an important part of the cure. Lie
there for half an hour, if you don't fall
e asleep, as you probably will: Then get up
+ and take the deferred' look in the glass.
Thetired look has gone ; the muscles have
. regained their tone ; the wrinkles have die -
appeared. You look like your younger
sister. Best of all, the darting painin the
head and the pessimism of the soul have
gone, too.—Pittsburg Despatch.

sounded cannibalistic, and someone listened.
" Ile will make his way thr8ugh the crowd,

a pause she continued : " And nice, fat
men always take me across the street.
they don't always know it, but that does
not matter. I follow them as closely as
possible, and never get run ober. The
truck drivers pull up and swear at them.
