At § o'clock on Sunday evening. while Alfred Haullman, an aged fer mer of Pequea township, Lancaster county, Pa., was sitting at the bedside of his sick wife, in company with Mr. Kreider and Mrs. Cramer, two neigh: bors. two masked men entered tue room and demanded money. The sic: woman called to Mrs. Cramer to give them: what was in a kettle in the room. Mrs. Cramer picked up the kettle con- taining the money and fled.

Farmer and Wife Slain In Yard. Mr. and Mrs. Henry James, aged be: tween sixty-five and seventy years. ving on a farm in Eastown, betwecn Newtown Square and Berwyn, Pa. were found by neighbors murdered iu their barnyard. An axe had evidently been used in the perpetration of the crime. Both bodies were also hacked so completely to pieces that they were scarcely re- cognizable. It is supposed that robbery was the motive for the crime, as they were be- lieved to keep a considerable sum of money in the house. Both bodies were fully dressed. Joseph Chogwaskie, a Polander, who was formerly employed as a farm hand by Mr. James, was arrested in Chester on suspicion. It is said his clothing and shoes were spotted with blood, 115-Year-Old Man Killed By Fall.

The sight and sound of what he de- scribed as a baying Rip Van Winkle, caused John Nee, of Rowleysville, N J., to go racing into Dover, spreading an alarm that a wild man is living in the woods near Mount Hope. Nee told Marshal Bryan that while bunting with his dog, his attention was attracted by what sounded like the baying of another hound, but proved to come from a weird human-like crea. ture, who was scudding through the woods on all fours, his long grayish beard trailing under his body. Nee's dog started for the peculiar being, but was frightened and chased by the a!- Jeged wild man, who, according to Nee, finally galloped away into the woods. Cubans Are Again Freed.

A mountain lion crunching the life less and mangled body of her two- vear-old boy was the sight that greeted Mrs. Chris Brown when she entered the family tent, four miles from the Hotel Delmar, at Balboa. Cal, after a short walk. The mother. in despair, rushed screaming at the beastly slayer of her child. The lion growled savagely and backed slowly out of the rear of the tent, its mouth dripping with the baby’s blood, and disappeared. The lion had partly dis- membered the child after slaying it. The Brown family arrived from Dela- ware two weeks ago. Editor Hurt By Train. William I.

Railroad to Be Built With National Funds and to Be National Property. Panama, Feb. 2.—The allegations of Representative Rainey, of Illinois, against Obaldia, president of Panama, and others, have brought out denials from the president and sixteen mem- bers of the national assembly. A state- ment which states that they were present at a meeting in Obaldia's of- fice where the contract for the ex- ploitation of the timber industry along the Atlantic coast of Panama was dis- cussed and that during the meeting neither Obaldia nor anyone else said or implied that Charles Taft, William Cromwell or Richard L.

Turquoises are the favorite stones of ali the Mongol races and are generally worn in their original state except by the Chinese women, who have them roughly cut and wear them mixed with pearls and coral, Both the Tibetan men and women ornament themselves with lump turquoises, the men wear- ing them attached to their single gold earrings, which are worn in the right ear only. The women of Ladakh carry their of a broad strip of red cloth studded with huge turquoises, which, starting from the forehead, is carried over the head and hangs nearly to the waist.

The Bhutia women in the Darjeeling district wear quaint brass ornaments are cheap, but the Mongollans have the embossed silver plates which form such a becoming headgear studded with really fine turquoises, for which the owners have to give valuable furs in exchange. Cornhill Magazine, Men, Women and Bundles. “Wrap them up separately,” said the woman at the counter, “and not in one big package.” And then, still speaking to the clerk, though obviously for the benefit of others within hearing, she went on: “It looks better to carry a lot of little bundles than one big one, and it's easier too. You can pack them In handily between one arm and the body and leave the other arm free. Now, if all these things were In one big package 1 would have to use both hands to it or ran the risk of drop- ping it.” So sayiug she stowed her purchases deftly alonz her left side, keeping them in place with her arm, and de- parted. A man who had heard her looked incredulous and when his turn at the counter came had all his pack- ages made into one big bundle and tied securely. As he slipped his fin- gers under the cord and lifted the bun- dle off the tounter he remarked: “This is my way.
