THREE MEN LYNGHBD.
One of the Cotton Family Murderers Burn-
ed at the Stake by a Louisiana Mob.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.—John John-
son, murderer of the Cotton family,,was
burned rat the stake by a mob in front of
the Cotton residence, near ~Amite City,
early today. Archibald Joiner, a confed-
erate, and another negro murderer were
banged by the mob.
Gus Williams, the third man lynched,
was accused of murdering his wife. All
three of the men killed were negroes.
Johnson and Joiner, according to the con-
fession of the former, were guilty of the
murder of five members of the Cotton
family near here some time ago. '
Johnson and Joiner were brou ht to
Amite City from New Orleans ye rday
to plead t0 the indictments against them,
and after the hearing were remanded with- .
out bail. Dining the day a party of men
called at the jail and Johnson made his
confession. According to his story, the
murder of the family was peculiarly
brutal. He said that he had aIWays liked
the Cotton family, and would not have
harmed them had it not been for the fact
that he was bullied into what he had done.
He went to the house armed with an ax,
not to hurt any of the members of the
household, but to prevent their escaping,
as he had been told to watch a door. The
murder, Johnson said, was planned by
Bud McKnight, a white man who was a
suitor of the girl, Maude Miller, whose
mother, Mrs. Cotton, whipped her for al-
lowing McKnight’s attentions. This is
the only motive he knew for the crimes.
He said Arch J oincr shot Cotton, the head
of the household, with a gun, then struck
Merven Stevens, the son of Mrs. Agnes
Stevens, with an ax, on the forehead,
knocking him back on the bed and killing
him. Joiner finished the men and then
'went into the room which was occupied
by Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Cotton and Lizzie
Miller, with Maude and several children,
and killed the three women. ‘

age 70 cents per ounce and $3 per day when
it shall average 75 cents or over was reject-
' ed by the miners by an almost unanimous
vote. This action has put an end to all
negotiations. -
Explosion In a Pay Car.
WALLINGEORD, Conn, Jan. 21.—An ex-

500 feet, the metal evidently having torn
through the roof of the car. It is reported
that the heater was blown to pieces.

H003 EXECUTED.
The Murderer of Minnie Ingcrsoll Put‘
to Death In the Chair.
AUBURN, Jan. 21.—John Hoch went to
°his death in the electrical chair at a few
minutes before 1 o’clock this afternoon.
The execution was entirely successful.
The crime for which John Hoch paid
the death penalty was the murder on July
10, 1895, of an innocent 15-year-old girl,
Minnie Ingersoll, who lived with her
brother Eugene and an old man named
Nicholas Strife at Chapel Hill, a short dis-
tance from Lowvillc. Hoch was in love
with the girl, but she had rcpulscd him.
and for this he determined to kill her. He
went to her home on the evening of July
10, secreted himself near the barn, and
when the girl and Strife appeared he fired.
She was instantly killed and Strife was
badly wounded, but recovered. Hoch fled,
but was captured the next morning about
3 o’clock by a posse. He was tried at Low-
ville and convicted. He was sentenced to
die in the prison here Jan. 26, 1896, but
an appeal was taken and a. new trial
granted. The verdict in the second trial
was murder in the first degree, and the
week beginning Jan. 17 was the time fixed
for his electrocution.
IRISH TAX INQUIRY.
Government to Complete It and Allow
Debate In Commons.
LONDON, Jan. 21.—-—Thc Times expresses
the belief that the royal commission will
pursue its inquiry into the financial rela-
tions of Ireland. .
With the exception of The Daily News,
the Liberal organ, the newspapers all ad-_
mit that Mr. Balfour’s announcement in
the house of commons yesterday that a
separate occasion would be given for the
discussion of the Irish financial commis-
sion’s report, and that the government
proposed to complete the investigation,
will considerably shorten the debate on
the address.
The Standard (Conservative) declares
that many Liberals objected to the main
conclusions of the recent commission.
The Daily News says that the decision
to enter upon a fresh inquiry extricates
the Irish members from adilcmma, be-
cause the Irish Unionists would have de-
clincd to support Mr. Blake's amendment
tothc address, which was regarded as a
vote of censure on the government.
The .Mexican Method.
POMONA, Cal. Jan. 21.—Henry Gray,
who recently went to Mazatlan, Mexico,
to visit his brother, Joseph Gray, a well
known miner of Arizona and a graduate
of the State university of California, writes
that the latter has been murdered in the
mountains, 47 miles from Mazatlan. Jo-
seph had been in Mexico two years looking
after his mining interests, which he had in
connection with Richard Gird, the sugar
beet millionaire of China.
A Doctor‘s Wife a Suicide.
BUFFALO, Jan. 21.—Dr. John J. McCul-
lough of 1175 Main street, akae today to
find his wife missing from his side. On

cut from ear to car. She was quite dead.
The deed was unquestionably suicide, as
the woman had been mentally unbalanced.

ALE.
Many a nervous woman sits up all the
night and tries 0 read herself sleepy. N inc
to one she do ’t accomplish her purpose.
Nine to one, she gets more and more ner-
vous. The slightest sound strikes terror to
her heart. The dark corners of the room
contain a thousand frights. She doesn’t
know what she is afraid of, but she is afraid,
actually, honestly, nervously, abj ectly afraid.
Healthy women are not cowards. If a woo
man is nervous and, sleepless and afraid of
the rustle of her'own dress, there is come-
thing the matter with her. The most deli-
cate nerves in her body are set on edge by
weakness or disease. Nine-tenths of the
nervousness, irritability and bad temper ii
women is merely a. symptom of ill health—
ill health of the delicate and sensitive or-
ganism that makes her a woman. If she is
overworked, or over-worried, the effect will
show itself there first. There is no use tak-
ing harmful and'fleadly narcotics for ner-
vousness and sleeplessness. It will leave
the body in a worse condition than it was
before. The way to effect a cure is to cure
the cause. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip-
tion will do it. It has cured tens of thou-
sands of cases of female weakness and ner-
vousness. It is a most wonderful invigorat-
ing nervine or nerve food. It brings sound
healthy sleep and restores the glow and
bloom of health. It is the only medicine
now before the public for woman’s peculiar
ailments, adapted to her delicate organiza-
tion by a regularly graduated physmian—
an experienced and skilled specialist in
these maladies. It cannot do harm in any
condition of the system. Its sales exceed
the combined sales of all other medicines
for women.
The story of its discovery and its
wonderful success is told in one part of
Doctor Pierce’s great thousand page book,
”Common Sense Medical Adviser,” which
will be sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent
stamps to pay for mailing only. ‘World’s

SOCIETY GIRLS’ MUD .WASHES.
W'hat Old Romans Know and What Cleo-
'\ ' ptztl‘a Used as a Beautificr.
The old proverb that there is noth-
ing that has not some use in the world
if we only knew what it was has been
verified again. This time the discov-
erer. was the summer girl who has re-
turned from her outing at the seashore
The bugaboo of
the summer girl’s season is the tan
which she brings back to the city with
her. It interferes with her wearing of
evening gowns. And she will go to
almost any extreme to accomplish
that result in a. hurry.
The latest wrinkle of the city girl is
mud. Plain, dirty, sticky mud. The
idea is by no means new, but it is the
first time that society as a whole has.
accepted it as a skin bountifier.
Swamp mud or mud from the bed of
streams is the best. The skin should
be thoroughly cleansed and dried un-
til the skin feels wzirm and the persa
piratiou has started. Then apply the
mud thickly, taking care to keep it
from the eyes. It is especially neces-
sary that care be taken to cover all
portions of the skin alike, as the
smallest patch of uncovered skin is
likely to stand out with disagreeable
plainucss the next mornin".
The feeling of the mud on the face
is not as unpleasant as one might at
first suppose. It feels much as a coat-
ing of vaseline ortcold cream would.
and its beneficial results are. much
greater. The hands are treated in the
same way, except that it is advisable
to.wcar an old loose pair of gloves to
prevent the mud from beigig rubbed
off during the night.
The idea of the mud wash is as old
as history. The old Romans knew of
it, and it is probable that Cleopatra
used the prescription to enhance her
charms. In the lVest mud is a pana-
cea for poisonous bites and stings.
And the rural maidens Use it to whiten
their skins.
The‘ idea may be distasteful to a
great many people, but it is the fad
just at present, and has many dove--
tees, as social fancies always do.
Mothers and Babies.
I wonder if mothers know how
cruel they often are to the babies
without thinking of it. The poor little
baby cannot describe its feelings, and
how should the mother know? Dress
your baby up as much as you please—-
babies are generally pretty in any-
thing neat and clean—but be careful
how you dress ”them. I began to
count one day on my way down town
how many babies I met with their
pretty little bonnet strings tied back
of their cars so tightly as to keep the
bonnet on and to deform the ears for
life, but after getting to fifty I gave
it up. Have you ever noticed how
many people there are with cars out
of shape from no other cause than
from improper arrangement of caps in
infancy? Baby looks sweet, I’ll allow.
but wouldn’t it be better to start a
fashion for baby to look sweet and
comertable at the same time. Ask
your doctor about it, and I think he
will tell you that I have not exagger-
ated in the least—J. I-«Z. Ludlum.
Children’s Cloaks.
Cloaks for children are made of silk.
bengaline, velvet and cloth. both
smooth and 1'ough,, so it is difficult to
go astray in materials for this pur-_
pose, and they are worn both leng
and short, especially by the older girls
who like the short jackets of camel’s
hair. Dark red is a fashionable color
for coats, and some of them have vel-
vet capes, and a trimming of brown
fur. Grebe is used on tan and green
clOth to trim the revers, and muffs of
cloth or velvet are made to match the
coats. Some of the coats are full in
the back, while others are fitted in
plain, but they all have loose fronts.
The model shows plaits in front
' ., trimmed with cords and buttons, and
the collar is edged with beaver; Some-
thing quite new is a coat of green
cloth made with a waist, which has
revers in front, and is embroidered
with shades of green silk, and is
trimmed with mink.
' Monogrammed Linen.
When a monogram or initial is used
upon linen, it may, upon the table»
cloth, be placed a little to one side of
the space covered by the centrepiece.
There are, however, other less conspic:
nous positions, which are preferred by
some. as at the centre of the side bor-
di 2'. lfpon napkins, the monogram or
initial never seems so well placed as
when Worked in one corner. In this
position, when the napkin is folded
in' the customary square, it forms a
pleasing ornament upon the face of
{the folded napkin.
E Ends of Beef. . .
’ A good-sized roast of beef will give
one hot and one cold dinner, cold
meat for supper, a beef sauie
with pointers for breakfast, and
then leave plenty of soup mate-
rial. The beef fat should be
tried out' and saved for frying pur-
poses. and if anything is thrown away
it will he only the bones and the meat
after the soup is boiled, and even this
mint ma :1 :5 a fair hash.
'i‘u Keep Cranberries.
I keep cranberries in water all win~
tor in man. glass jars, so as to serve
the-1.. rim-mt; June, July and August.
i ii lire jars full of berries, all sound,
then add cold water, screwing on the
caps as in ordinary canning. If. placed
in a cool, dark cellar, I find no trouble
in keeping them for a year or more.—
