DRELIOGE, THE NEGRO, CONFRISES
Hg Out the Throat of Mrs, Baudig-Says
He was Drunk.
It is to drunkenness Bert Delige as-
cribes the murder of Mrs. John
Baudie,
The negro confessed having com-
mitted the crime. He threw her to
the ground in a corn fleld, and then
cut her throat from ear to ear. Fur-
ther than this the details of the mur-
der was not given.
During the past ten days the ac-
cused murderer had been showing
signs of weakening. His attitude was
changed. laostead of making it ap-
pear he was unconcerned, he devoted
much time to prayer. Oa Monday he
confessed the crime to the pastor of
the lacal colored church.
It is likely that the finding of the
razor, under a stump, with which the
crime was committed led Dalige to be-
lleve there was no hope for him to es-
cape conviction of the erime, and that
confession would be the best possible
thing for him to do.
Itis thought by some that Delige
#140 murdered Mr, Baudis in Williams-
port, but nothing to substantiate such
a belief has been discovered or said by
the negro,
The confession of the crime will
very much shorten the murder trial,
which is booked for the next court,
yet if an eflort is made to show thst
Delige was too drunk to realize what
he was doing, the case may consume
several days.

When King Gustavus 111, of Sweden
was in Paris be was visited by a depu-
tation of the Sorbonne. That learned
pody congratulated the king om the
Lappy fortune which had given him so
great a man as Scheele, the discoverer
of magnesium, as his subject and fel-
low countryman.
The king, who took small lotetest in
the progress of sclence, felt somewhat
ashamed that be should be so ignorant
as never even to have heard of the re-
nowned chemist. He dispatched a cou-
rier af once to Sweden with the laconic
order, “Scheele is to be Immediately
raised to the dignity and title of a
count.”
“His majesty must be obeyed,” sald
the prime minister as he read the or.
der, “but who in the world is Scheele?"
A secretary was told to make loguiries,
tle came back to the premier with
very full information. “Schgele Is a
good sort of fellow.” sald he, “a leu-
tenant in the artillery, a capital shot
and a first rate hand at billiards.”

The ordinary method of filling the

In the seventeenth and elgbieenth
centuries Venice set the fashion in all
matters of amusement and was a sort
of combination of our Monte Carlo and
Paris. Throughout the eighteenth cen
tury the Venetians were seized with a
perfect mania for masquerading and
gambling. Paris and Loudon followed
suit, and the two most popular amuse
ments, both public and private, were
masquerades and gambling saloons
People not only wore their masks or
visors at balls, but Io the mall apd the

matters got to such a pass that when

to find that at least a third of the com

The Judges Ride.
Customs change slowly with the law-
yers, but the procession through the
streets at the reopening of the law
courts was not always the casual af-
fair it now is. Until the middie of the
sixteenth century ihe “jodges’ ride” to
Westminster ball was quite an impos
ing spectacle, all the legal dignitaries
beiog wounted on mules, like bishops
and abbots on a pligrimage. Mules
presently gave place to borses, which
In turn were abandoned for coaches.
The last procession on horseback took
place in the time of Charles 11. and
was then regarded as an loteresting
revival, It was not greatly appreciat-
ed, however, by the judges themselves,
who foupd thelr efforts to remain in
the saddie far from conducive to a
digolied appearance, and before the
Journey's end one of their number,
