HLEY A SLICIDE, , Cousia of the Rear Admiral Used Her Father’s Revolyer. Baltimore, Md, Jan. 15.—Miss Anna Hoke Schley, a cousin of Resr | Admirl Schley, and one of the most beautiful and aecompiished women in social circles in this city; ended her own life at her home here to day. Although only 28 years old, the life of Miss Schley bas been one of continued self sacrifice and noble motives Her father, Col. William H. Schley was a veteran of the M Aa War eanbau wed & v er during the civil war, died after « lingering illness just one month ago. The enfeebled condition of the vet eran left Miss Schley very little time to herself, but she never faltered and always seemed ia a contented frame of mind. Miss Schley had been a sufferer from stomach trouble for a year or more, and this, coupled with her domestic duties, told upon her ner vous system. When death overtook the parent to whom she had devoted herself she was prostrated with arief and refused to be comforted. Having more thaa ordinary knowl- edge of handling business affairs the settlement of her father's estate was left in Miss Schley’s hands. She took hold of the matter vigorously, but it soon became evident te those around her that her mind was giving away under the strain. While other members of the fami ly were taking an afternoon nap at 3 o’clock in the afternoen, Miss Schley secured n old revolver, which her father had carried during the civil war. She loaded all except one of the chambers, and as the car- tridges were very much eorroded it required considerable effort to do this. Then going to her room Miss Schley locked the door and shot herself in the left breast. Members of the family were aroused by the report of the revol ver and hurrying to the room broke openthe door. They found Miss Schley was dead. It was evident however, that death had not been instantaneous as she had pressed a handkerchief to the wound inan effort te staunch the blood. From the incoherence of several notes found in the room it was at ouce seen that Miss Schley was de- ranged when she killed herself. Making Cob Pipes. The cob pipe originated in Mis- souri, and was first made in 1877 by Harry Tibbe, a native of Holland, who operated one of the first corn- cob pipe factories in the United States. The finest cobs for theese pipes came from Missouri by the car load and sell for 25 to 27 cents a bushel. The cob for a pipe differs from the ordinary cob, inasmuch as it is larger and more heavily wood- ed. The cob is first taken in its rough state and sawed to the proper size and then bored and turned and the pores filled with plaster of paris. They are then made smooth and sand papered and given a coat of shellac, after which the pipes are turned over to girls, who adjust the stem. The cane used for the etems comes from the south. Fancy cob pipes go through the same process with a little more work.—Indianap- olis Journal. DUVALL & BUTLER, FARM LOANS. ever offered in the county. Call on us. ae PERCIVAL, MISSOURI.

I did not see all the beef bought for the army, and I have never expressed an opinion about the 199,000 pounds in controversy. The beef furnished me at Santiago was good and all that I saw there was good, but I cannot inspect all the beef produced in the United States.” “Indefensible, utterly; utterly in- defensible,” was General Shafter’s Opinion of General Eagan’s tirade against General Miles ‘I have kept out of all controversies growing out of the war,” be said, “and I am go ing to keep out of thie one.” DENOUNCED IN PULPIT. Big Sensation in Cnilicethe, Ohie, Church. Chillicothe, C., Jan. 16.—At the Park Street Christian Union Church last night Rev. Charles O’Shay was openly denounced while in the pulpit. O’Shay spoke briefly of the hard- ships of a Christian life and said he expected to be arrested before the meeting was ova and wanted every one to stand byhim.
