on Dealer flail Chued Ills Wife Through
the Streets With I liorsewhlp, Each
With a Team of Horses—Rescued by I
Pinelty Professor.
Wissrso, Conn, July 20,—This quiet
old town is undergoing a sensation, the
like at which it has never before expev
mood. The good people of the village
were startled by the screams of a woman
in one of the main streets or the village,
and on rushing to their doors saw H. J.
Hall, a wealthy oil merchant of 20 Platt
street. New York city, horsewhipping his
wife in the public street.
Professor McCarthy rushed to Mrs.
Hall’s rescue, and then a most sensa-
tional scene ensued. McCarthy grabbed
Broker "all, and ti desperate struggle took
place. McCarthy. though a much amnller
man than Hall, grabbed the latter by the
threat and choked him into submission.
Hall. who had held of his wife's dress
near the throat, llnally released his grasp,
and Mrs. llall escaped, and jumping into
her carriage drove away. Hail and Mc-
Carthy still kept up their struggle. The
broker almost went mad in his rage and
threatened to draw a revolver, but the
plucky professor held on until he thought
Mrs. Hall was out of danger.
Raced Through the Village.
Finally llall broke away from McCar-
thy, but no sooner had he gained liberty
than he jumped into his carriage and or
dared his driver to overtake his wife at all
hazards. A crowd followed the inadIman's
chase, but the horses in both tenuis were
being pushed to their utmost. and the
spectacle so far as the village was concern-
ed was over.
The story of the trouble as given out is
as follows:
Mr. Hall. who is about. 46 years old,
and his wife, who is much younger, have
quarreled for a long time. and only a short
time ago Mr. llall began proceedings for
a divorce. A reconciliation was made.
and they have continued to live together,
and with their two children have been
occupying a cottage at Highland Lake.
They “have kept a large establishment
and everything they wish, as Mr. Hall
has always had plenty of money.
On the day of the trouble Mrs. Hall
was seen driving through the village in
one of her carriages. She had some friends
along, and Mrs. liall had just stop; ed
for her two children, who had been in the
village. when Mr. Hall dashed up with an-
othcr team and jumped out and started
for his wife with n lliil'HEWllljl.
Struck llrr \"Illt a Whip.
A few words [liirsil'll boiwwn them, and
thorn he struck ln-r sovaw-ly rl‘i'i'l'lll [lines
over the head and shoulders. Mrs. liall
ran to her carriage, and jumping in told
the driver to whip up the lillrrcri. Mr.
Hall had a single lcuui near by and set
out in purnnit only a “W yards behind.
The serum Wits inviting. Mrs. Hall was
bestmchiug the driver of her carriage to
hurry. and .‘vll'. Hall was helping whip
bis born- into a run and urging the driver
to go fusion ln front of liaiird’s drug
store llull overtook his wife‘s carriage,
and slowing up he jumped out and start-
ed, whip in hand, for Mrs. iiail.
"(foule- um of them will you?" he cried,
and be dragged his wife roughly into the
road and tried to choke her and boat her
with the whip.
Several persons rushed out of the drug
store, but Professor .‘\lci.’:irtiiy wth the only
one who had the courage to fatal iinil.
Mrs. Hall in the meantime had been
screaming for help, and her cries had
brought out half the village.
Bank of Whisky the Cause.
in the pursuit that followed. after Mrs.
"all had been released throimh the inter-
vention of Mr .‘tlef'artby, lliill caught
up with his wife twice. and both the man
and Woman used their burst-whips on
rut-h other. After the last encounter some
settlement was uppnrvlllly rt-m‘hvd. as the
chase WM discontinued. and Hall and his
wife returned separately to Winstcd, the
fight having led them sonuuiistaurc away.
The fzflllm' of tho iiilulr is said to have
been the dlsmvnry of a bottle of whisky
on the dining r-mm table by the husband.
it is said that the servants told him that
his wile had lwon drinking, and when he
tried to find out from her if this was true
received a sow-re tongue lashing.

To recall it letter once mailed is al-
mom as difficult a melt as to take
back in.) assertion once uttered. The
sender must appear at the postofiice
and is handed a blank to fill out. In
this he must state when and where
be mailed the letter, how it was ad-
dressed. must describe the envelope,
state the amount of postage prepaid
and testify "that thoabove men.
tioned letter was written by me or
by my authority, and I desire to re-
call it for the following reason," and
then state the reason, which is usual-
ly, ”Mailed by mistake.”
He must then sign his name so
that the writing maybe compared
with that on the letter and signa
receipt. If the address cannot be
shown to be in his handwriting oris
printed or typewritten, he must de’
scribe somopoculuirities of the en.
velope sufficient to identify it. If
he is unable to do this. the letter is
not released unless the postmaster
knows the applicant and is satisfied
concerning his gmxl intentions. If
he is satisfied. he asks for estate—
tnent concerning the contents, and
the applicant is then obliged to open
the letter and read portions of it in
the postmastor‘s presence to prove
that it is the one described.
If the letter has been sent away,
the process of recalling it is still
morcdifiicult. A similar blank has
to be filled out and a minute descrip-
tion telegraphed at the sender's ox-
pense to the postmaster at the office
of its destination. If discovered in
time, the letter is then intercepted
and sent to the department at Wash-
ington with a statement of the case.
Why should any one want to recall
alcttersomuch as to take all this
trouble? Well, there was one case
at the local office recently where a
valuable deed was mailed, and the
sender received information that sat-
isfied him that the sale should not
be made. In another case an im-
portant contract was sent and infor-
mation received immediately after
made it imperative that it should be

'A VEGETABLE THAT ‘ENJOYS A DE-
SERVED POPULARITY. .
It Grows Wild In Some PM“, but Flour-
ishes Best In a Well Kept Garden-J"
Relation to the Famous Asphodcl—The
Seeds Used For Com-o. ‘
As a ticltler oi the palate asparagus
has come down the ages with all the
weight of Greek and Roman approval.
Plato ate it by the platefnl. and Aris-
tophanes, the humorist, regarded it as a
great aid in digesting the crank phi-
losophers of the day. ,,
It is ‘ an odd fact that this culinary
plant is closely related to the famous
asphodel, which was supposed by the
ancients to be the leading flower in the
gardens of the elysium, the Greek pur-
gatory or paradise. 'A part of the
qnnintncss of this lies in the fact that
theroots both possess purgatlve quali-
ties. The roots and fruit of both were
formerly much used in medicine for
this purpose. ,
According to the superstition of the
Romans, the lllllllcil of the dead fed on
the roots of the asphodel. They planted
it, therefore, in and around the come-
teries. Hence to this day it covers with
its beautiful golden blossoms as profuse-
ly as dandelions the Apulian hills and
valleys, and the sheep feed on it greed-
ily.
It belongs to the some natural order
of perennials, and the only (inference
between the asparagus and the usphodel
appears to be in the fruit and the color
of the flewers. So abundant is the wild
asparagus in the stoppes of Russia that
cattle out it like mass, just as Italian
sheep devour its botanical cousin.
Not native to America, it. has here,
however, been raised to its greatest per-
fection as a table delicacy. Perhaps no
other plzuit gives as good proof of what
cultivation can do. In its wild state it
rarely grows higher than afoot or thick--
or than a slate pencil. Culture has mnl
tiplicd its height by four and its thick-
ness nearly as much, adding also to its
flavor—not, however. to its value as a
food, for it still possesses very little nu-
tritive substance.
It was once regarded as a garden or-
uauu-nt in this country, and in New
England rural plum-s especially was used
in lnakini.r up bouquets. Dried speci-
mens can still lw found in Maine and
.‘lassiicliusvlts parlors. Nor is this,
