i OO LIER RSE i The Bullet of the Louisvitle Newspa- per Correspondent Does Its Deadly Work. Washington, D. C., March 11.— Ex-Congressman W. Preston Taul- bee of Kentucky, who was shot in the head by Charles E. Kincaid, correspondent of the Louisville Times, while they were descending the east staircase in the house wing of the capitol on the afternoon of Friday, February 28. died at 4:45 this morning, at the’providence hos- pital, whither he had been removed after the shooting. Mr. Taulbee had been unconscious for some time before death came, and the end was painless. He had been rapidly sink- ing since last Saturday and his death had been expected since that night. Yesterday he grew so much worse that the physicians in atten- dance knew that he’could not last an other day. His family had been summoned and when he passed away his broth- er, Dr. Taulbee, his son, about 19 years of age, his brother-in-law, Dr. Payne, the attending physician. and Major Blackburn of Kentucky were around his bedside. Death was due, of course, to the effects of the pistol wound, but the immediate cause cannot as yet bestated. The police had been following Kincaid, who has been out on $2,000 bail, since it be- came evident that Mr. Taulbee’s ease was well nigh hopeless, and he was arrested a very short time after the latter’s death and locked up to await the action of the court. Mr. Kincaid made no effort to escape while he was at liberty, and announc- ed his intention to surrender him- self to the authorities in case his pis- tol shot should result fatally. Mr. Kincaid was asleep at his boarding house when the police aroused him at 5 o’clock this morn- ing and informed him of Mr. Taul- bee’s death. He requested to be al lowed to sleep an hour longer, but the orders of the officers were pre- emptory, and Mr. Kincaid dressed himself and was taken to the first precinct station on Twelfth street where he is now incustody. Consumption 18 on the Increase. @From recent statistics it appears that consumption is on the increase through- out the western states. The principal cause, it is stated, is due to neglect of common Coughs and Colds. It is the duty of all persons whether ot delicate or robust health, to haye e remedy at hand at ali times in readiress, anda cough crcold may be broken up betore it becomes seated.

The Man Who Facinates. “And would you marry the sort ofa man who facinates you?” “Yes, indeed, I don’t think there areany of them good enough, so there is much choice, and you are more apt to be happy with the man who facinates you to the extent of making you forget his faults than with the ove who has so few faults and is so moral he is just anything else.” “Tll tell you the kind of man I call facinating,” said a right chatty married lady with well gestablished opinions. “It is the one who always says the corteous, agreeable thing whether he means it or not. The one who helps you out of a street car as if you were a princess loyal. The one who continually piques your curiosity by making you feel that he is keeping some thing back, and that he never allows you to be- lieve that you know all about him. Tlike him to be cultured in the broadest sense, to have traveled and read and thought so much that he has something to say, and with au- thority, on all subjects, and yet who pays the most subtile of all compli- ments by occasionally deferring to your opinion or asking your indorse- ment of his views.” “The man I call facinating,” said & girl with a reputation for possess- ing all the facinations belonging to women, as well as understanding those peculiar to men, “is the big, manly, strong, gentle one. I don’t admire that detestable creature known as the male flirt, but one who when thrown with a person of the opposite sex, makes her feel, for the time being at t. that she is the only woman i HE IS DEAD. | worth talk- Minnesota Farmer’s Alliance. St. Paul, Minn, March 5.—The ance packed the House of Represen- | tatives at the Capitol to-day. Ignatius Donnelly opened the speech-making with roasting the railroads. His) opinion of the treatment of Minne-| sota farmers and the big millers and | railroad magnates was couched in| unique language: “I believe,” said Mr. “that there is $10,000,000 annually stolen from this state in the last twenty-five years there has been enough money stolen from Minneso ta farmers to pave with gold the floor of Hades.” The remarks of Gov. Merriam were the subject of warm commen- dation. On the tariff the Governor said: “The expenses of the administra- tion have to be borne, but in my judgment the necessary revenue for the purpose should fall upon shoul ders able to bear it. Tax the silks, the satins, the diamonds, the liquor and tobacco, and remove the tax from those necessary articles most widely diffused in their uses. It is exceedingly difficult to prove to the farmer that itis to his interest to remove the tax from luxuries like liquor and tobacco and retain it up- on sugar, clothing, hemp, from which binding twine is made, and the like articles, which he has to have.” It is expected this speech will go far toward securing Gov. Merriam and indorsement by the Alliance. If he secures this he is sure ofa re- nomination and re-election.

Va., March 11.— Authentic information has been re- ceived from Princeton, Mecer coun- ty that on Monday night a mob of 300 men went to the jail at that place and took out Charles Dabney and Weatherford Irving, two color- ed muitlerers, and shot them to death. Dabney and Irving were two notorious desperadoes employ- ed in the mines. On Sunday a week ago the killed and horribly muti- lated Jess Stanton, an inoffensive old negro saying that they wanted some fun. Both of them fought desperately when taken from the jail and were nearly torn to pieces by the mob.

A brother lives near their place, and when he was visiting them recently they gave him a trunk with instructions to keep it until called for. Hesuspected nothing and took the trunk home with him.

KANGAROO HUNTING. | Utilization of Their Hides in | the United States. | There are 6,000 kangaroo skins re-| ceived in Newark, N. J., every week. | They are all tanned in one large estab | lishment on Sussex avenue, and then made into fine shoes. Aus: and New Zealand furnish kangaroo hides for the world. The kangaroos are killed in Australia about 300 miles back from the coast, and are shipped from Melbourne, Sydney and Newcastle, in Australia, and from Masterton, in New Zealand. Up to 1869 the kangaroos were killed and eaten in Australia, and | their hides were cut into shoe-strings. But an Englishman named Brown in that year discovered the remarkable character of the leather, and brought several thousand skins to this country. He tried to sell the hides to tanners; but they were shy of the novelty, and he had to sell them at a sacrifice to a book-binder. The book-binder made triangular corner pieces in ledgers and commercial books out of the skins, and so ascertained the good quality of the leather. It was in this way that the larger leather factories were first attracted to kangaroo hide. The skin was found to be very tenaeious, and the compactness of the grain prevents its absorbing water, while the acids in blacking meet with an almost impervi- ous substance. It was hard work for years to get the kangaroo skins. It was not until the Newarker, who now tans them, sent agents to Australia three years agothat the demand could be sup- plied. The characteristic climate of Australia and the pugnacity of the kangaroo make hunting the hides dan- gerous. Winter starts in May and ends in December in that country. The rest of the year the heat is intense, the ther mometer frequently reaching 140 de- grees. Eight men hunt together for kangaroos. They are called a ‘“‘set.” When brought to bay the kangaroo jumps like a flash for the hunter's chest and tries tocrush it in with his fore feet. To prevent this each man wears across his breast a two or three-inch thick matting. Armed with a spear, with aclub attachment at the other end, they ride upon swift horses into a herd. With the agility and equipoise of circus riders they stand erect upon their horses and use their spears and clubs. The kangaroo is able to jump clear over a horse. As the game is bagged it is skinned, and the]! skin is stretched on the ground and } pegged down to prevent shrinkage. The flesh furnishes meat for the camp. Each man places his private mark upon his booty, and when they have 100 skins apiece they return back to civili- zation. There are twenty varieties of kangaroos, among them the blue, red Wallaby, black, gray and Forester, the latter furnishing the best leather, as it lives mainly in wooded sections. When the shipping ports are reached the hunt- ers dispose of the skins by auction to the highest bidders and realize about seventy cents a pound. Kangaroo hunt- ers make large profits. One man is known to have cleared $4,500 free of liv- ing expenses in a single year. tanning of kangaroo skins is confined to men employed by Americans, as other dealers can not afford to pay the high prices for the raw material. The result is that Parisian and London shoe man- ufacturers buy their stock of kangaroo leather directly from Newark, and| prominent dealers in Germany, Greece, Spain, and even Australia itself, receive their supplies from the same. manufacturer here scouts the idea that the original seven-league boots were made from the skin of the great Austra- lian leapers.—Providence (R.

A business man of Detroit, whose of- fice is on Woodward avenue, relates this singular experience in the Free Press: “I wanted a ten-dollar bill changed, and as I was alone I stepped to the door and called a little newsboy whom I had frequently employed to run on errands, and told him to carry it to the nearest store and get it changed. I then went inside and waited. My partner came in and ridiculed me for what I had done. ‘* ‘You will never see the boy or the change again,’ he said. “I must say his prophecy looked pos- sible when as hours went by the boy did not return; still I trusted him. I could easier believe that he had been run over ormade away with than that he had stolen the money. “I did not change my mind when a week had passed. I did not know where he lived or who his associates were, and no newsboy seemed to be missing. The second week was nearly gone when a woman came into my office one day. She was crying. “ “Are you Mr. ““T am, madam. you?’ “Then she told me that her little boy was dying; that he had been ill nearly two weeks, and kept constantly calling myname. I went with her and found my missing newsboy. As soon as he saw me he began to rave. “ET lost it! I lost it! was the burden of his cry, but I alone knew what he re- ferred to. He had lost the ten-dollar note, and it had preyed on his mind, causing brain fever. He died in my | arms, unconscious that I had trusted | him from the very first, and that I | would have done any thing to save his life. I have not a doubt that he either | lost it or had it snatched from him, and his sensitive nature kept him from tell- | ing the truth, and he gave his life up in | the struggle.” ! *MATCALESS « FOR « SHAMPOOING + ?? she asked.
