STATE SENATOR nusonsno.

Peter R. Morrissey Instantly Killed by i
\Vornan of Bad Character..

ST. LOUis,,May 14.——State Senator Po~
fer R. Morrissoy was shot and instantly
killed today by Maud Lewis, his mistress.

The tragedy was enacted in her room on
the second floor at 2719 Wash street. Mor-
rissey went to the house ataverylate hour‘
and\had retired when the crime was com-
mitted. , ,

The woman had been mentally unbal-
anced for some time, according to the
statements of her neighbors. She'is sup-
posed to have been insane at the time.
Thofirst information. the neighbors had of
the tragedy was from the woman’s screams.
They ran in and found her in a frenzy of
grief and terror, bowing over the body and
calling on Pete to ”come back. ” The first
witnesses on the scene could gain no in-
formation from her as to the precise man-
ner in which thrmurder was accomplish-
ed, but everything indicated that Morris-
sey was asleep when he met his death.

The weapon used by Maud Lewis was an

American bulldog revolver of 88 caliber.
Tw'o shots were flred,‘ one entering the
mouth and the other penetrating the brain
through the left eye. Death'was instanta-
neous. _ . .

As soon as the neighbors ascertained that
Maud Lewis was the principal in the trag-
edy they sent word to the'Four Courts. and
Detectives Smith and Howard were dis.
patched to the place. They Were unable to
get a coherent statement from the woman,
whose ravings became more violent and
desperate every minute. They had her
sent to the City hospital in a patrol wagon
and permitted on undertaker to take
charge of the body. The deceased Was'born
in St. Louis Aug. 13, 1855, and was odu~
catcd at the St. Louis university. In, 1885
he was elected to the municipal assembly,
and at the time of his death he was a

member of the Missouri state senate, elect-

ed by the Democrats. His business was
thatmof saloon and lodging house keeper.
Morrissey lived with his father, mother
and-sister in rooms over his saloon, south-
east oorner of Eleventh street and Clarke
avenue. He was a single man. At the
City hospital. soon after Maud Lewis was
received there, it was stated that she was
violently crazy, though whether her condi-
tion was due to remorse for her not or auto-
datod the crime could not then be ascer-
talucd.

Maud Lewis is 25 years old and was
born and reared in St. Louis. She is said
She was
in the City hospital from Aug. 28 to Sept.
10 of last year suffering from hysteria.

Morrissey was notorious as a crooked
worker at the polls. Ten years ago he was
indicted for ballot box stuffing, but the
influence of the leaders of the party kept
him out of the penitentiary.

LJFE AMONG THE SHAKERS.%

_.

The Strange People of the Kentucky Set-
tlement Are Fast Growing Fewer.

They pray, work and live. They have
banished all passions. They know not
the parental sentiment. Father and
mother are names strange to their lips.
Each man is a. brother; each woman a
sister.

Their town of Pleasant Hill, Ky., is
without a tavern. They speak with a yea
and nay. Strangers are barred from their
community; visitors are seldom wel-
come. Indeed, these Shakers are queer
and unintelligible people—“u. small com-
pany striving to live the celestial, life;
the pure, virgin, celibate life of Christ,
and who fully indorse the communistio
principle of the Pentecostal Church.

They live in communities called fam.
ilies. The Central is the largest, and is
the pioneer family of the settlement.
About midway in the one street of the
town stands a large, heavily built stone
building. This is the home of the Central
family. It was built in 1824 and has two
entrances, one for the men and one for
the women. Some improvements have
since been added,aud it now includes,
besides the sleeping and meeting rooms.
-a cookery, bakery and dining hall. All
’of the apartments are roomy and scrupue
lously clean. The men’s apartments are
on the opposite side of the hall from the
women’s. The two sexes eat apart, at
tables ouopposite sides of the dining ball.
This division is carried out through the
entire village.

The meeting room is on the second
flOor. A few benches are scattered about.
At worship there is usually one person in
thocohgregation who leads in the slug-
ing and speaking. At intervals they are
visited by an elder. Because of a few ill-
mannercd people who have dared to enter
the sanctuary and ridicule the worship-
ers strangers are excluded from the
Shaker Church. The Old time Shaker
dance is seldom used. Some members'
who still cling to the idea take part in
the shuffle, but many of them are grow-
ing too Old and feeble for the exertion.

All of the buildings are constructed on
the same style, but are smaller than the
Central House. They have their winding
stairs, large rooms, wide corridors and
Verandas.

The postoilice is in the yard of a. bui1d~
ing built in 1839 for the tavern. At the
opposite end of the town is the broom
factory.~ It is an Old fashioned brick
building, which, with its surroundings,
presents a primitively picturesque ap-
pearance. Here, as everywhere, order is
thd sign. The men work on hour after
hour, saying but little, cutting, binding
and sewing their brooms.

There are less than 100 inhabitants, but
these carry on the work co-Operatively
and :successfully. The town bell is the
power which regulates all life and rest in
the community. At 4 o’clock in the morn-
ing during the week, and at 5 o’clock on
Sundays, the great bell awakens every
sleeper. The women look after the house,
doing the sewing, mending, laundry and
dairy work, the men go out upon the
farms to earn the dollars which support
the society. At ‘12 o’clock the-bell calls
them to their noouday meal; at eventide
it commands them to leave their labors.
At 8 o’clock but few are stirring, and
scarcely a light is to be seen.

A pretty story illustrates the veracity
of theseShakers. One of the brothers, on
returning from a business trip, reported
having sold a horse for a certain amount.
His companion remonstrated, saying the
horse was not worth the amount by $0.
At once the trader returned the $50 to his
customer, begging his pardon and asking

him to accept the money.

One is led to wonder why the societies
are disappearing. This steady decline is
not because the good, old people are de-
sertlng the ranks, but because the young-
er members, daughters of widows or
adopted orphans, on reaching the age of
discernment, become discontented with
the quiet life of the village. There is no
marrying or giving in marriage, for they
are strict followers of Christ. Living
thus, the young people dream Of love,
courtship, roman co, the round of pleasi-
ure and glory that the world Offers, until,
in their solitude and reveries they can no
longer endure the Sliakers’ somber exist.
once and fly to the world again.

THE BENEFITS OF SCIENCE.

The Small Boy Utilizes the Telephone to
Ills Advantage.

The small boy had broken the parlor
window. Of course it wasn’t really the
small boy who was the offender; it was
his ball that actually committed the
crime, the small boy having merely
tried to see how many times he could
hit the wall of the house without strik-
ing the window. And the ball perversely
hit. the window, smashing right through
the pane and sending splinters of glass
in every direction. Thatwas the con-
dition of things when the small boy’s
mother happenedto enter the parlor a.
.few moments later. But of the small
boy and the offending ball nothing
was to be seen. Before long the small
boy entered the house. He came into his
mother’s presence with a brisk and cheer-
ful step, smiling pleasantly as though a.
disagreeable load had been lifted from
his mind. ‘

“Oh, Tommy,” cried the small boy’s
mether; “to think of your smashing the
parlor window like that. How often
have I told you not to play ball near the
house. It was very, very naughty of you,
Tommy. And just think what papa
will say.” ,

“Oh, it’s all right about papa,” re},
plied the small boy. “I went straight
and told him all about it,” virtuously.

“Well, you were a good boy to do that,
any way. ,Yes, that was very right and
brave in you. Did you-go all the way
dcwn to the office, Tommy, dear? And
what did papa do?” , _

“W'ell, he didn’t do much,” answered
the small boy, “because, you know, he
couldn’t. I didn’t go down to the office
to tell him I broke the window. I just
went to the drug store and telephoned

Realism in Reading.

At a reading by George W. Cable at
Plttsburg the other day occurred the line:
“Let me see, when I was here before did I
tell you the story of Solongadou?”

This was given in Mr. Cable’s peculiar
conversational style. Prompt] y came
the ansWer, in a Woman’s voice, from the
middle of the hall:

“Yes. sir.’.’

The audience broke into peals of
laughter and when the merriment sub-
sided Mr. Cable said,.apologetically:

'fBut I want to tell that story again,”
whichvhe proceeded to do.
