Winchester, Tenn., May 7.—Henry Judge, Joe Delp and John Evans were hanged to-day for the murder of Simon Bucher and his wife last Auguss. The three men exhibited the same indifference and stolidity that mark- ed their corduct during the trials and walked without assistance to the scaffold. A large crowd was expected and threats had been made to tear down “the fence inclosing the scaffold in order that the execution might be made public, Sheriff Stewart was prepared for such an emergency, but set the execution for an early hour, in order to prevent trouble. Dauriug the trial Delp made a full confession. It wasshown that Judge conceived and planned the deed, and his motive is said to have been prompted by 4 desire to get rid of Bucherand his wife, because they had the oversight on some mountain land upon which Judge wanted to trespass for the purpose of stealing Judge employed Evans and Delp to do the murder.

Several letters from other towns and cities were read indorsing the movement. A gentleman of the name of Kicks, in accepting the presidency of the new society; said: is “Itis high time we »eserted our manhood and made a determiged ef- fort to down this habit which threat- ens to wreck out homes.

At Raleigh, N. C., beautiful Isabel Porter, who had been chosen by her seoolmates for queen at the May- day clebration, given by the pupils of the Biltmore Pari-h School, died of pneumonia forty eight hours be- fore she was to have been crowned as queen. During the last hours of her lifeshe talked constantly of her dress she was to wear, of her schoolmates and teachers and of the celebration. At the funeral the honors of the queen of the May were given her by herschool- mates. She was buried in the dainty white dress she was to have danced in, and her schoolmates wove a crown of flowers which was placed upon her head as it would have rested in the celebration. The celebration, too, was held; but out of love for the dead queen and respect to her memory, all that part pertaining to her was omitted. Texas Hail in Drifts a Foot Deep Guthrie, Okla., May 7.—As aresult of the heavy rains falling along the Washita’ river in southwestern Okla- homa, that treacherous stream is again out of its banks and doing great damage to crops, bridges and lowland residents. The Rock Island Passenger was held at Mountain View last night seven hours by a washout. The heavy rain was followed by hail, which broke half of the windows in Mountain View and came in such quantities that it drifted a foot deep. The Kiowa Indians as a tribe ure seoking the highlands, an occurrence which always predicts a disastrous flood in the Washita. MILLIONAIRE’S POOR STOMACH The worn-out stomach of the over- fed millionaire is often paraded in public prints as & horrible example of evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. Theproportion | AS | Denied, However, That Kinz Eé- ; Ward Wears Suit Only Once. Never Dons Less Than Three Cos tumes a Day and Has About 200 Complete Changes—Gives Tail- or Thirty Orders a Year. The story emanating from Germany that King Edward never wears the same suit of clothes twice has been causing no lite amusement in Mayfair, London. Of all the absurd stories, said a person who is in a position to speak authori- tatively on the king’s wardrobe, this is the most foolish. The king certainly has a large stock of clothes, and it is seldom that the king when on the con- tinent, is seen wearing the same suit, which may have given rise to so absurd a report, but his clothes are never dis- carded after being once worn, unless, as sometimes happens, he doesn’t like them. The king never assumes more than three suits of clothes every day. When he rises he puts on an easy-fitting loung- ing suit of black, navy blue, or dark mix- ture. Later, if he is going to shoot, he dons a brown tweed sporting costume, with his favorite tyrolean hat and feather, If his majesty has been sub- jected to any great exertion during his outing he undergoes on his return a system of massage and then dresses for dinner, So if the king made it a rule never to weor the same suit swice, a simple cal- culation shows that he would require no fewer than 1,995 suits in the course of a year which would bring up his tailors’ bill to about £10,950 ($54,750) a year. As a matter of fact, the king still wears once or twice a week the frock coat which he had made at the time of his coronation. The king undoubtedly has the largest wardrobe of any monarch in the world. At Windsor, at Buckingham palace, and at Sandringham the king had a total of 200 suits of all kinds, besides nearly a hundred hats and caps. He has, more- over a splendid selection of. fur-lined overcoats. Tt may be added that for morning wear the king at present favors a trousers pat- tern with a thin vertical stripe.

SDOOOM SAGAN SASS AA bea SPA AAA HAG FARM LOANS, To be able to borrow money on real estate on long time, with the privilege of making payments before due, is an advan- tage which the frugal borrower appre- ciates. We loan money in this way and white vest slip, which he lately made fashionable, has been discarded. He also likes velvet collars on his over- coats, To sum up, the king orders about 30 suits in the course of a year. It is seldom that King Edward is em- barrassed, but there was a moment when he clearly was disconcerted at the close of the ceremony at the opening of parliament. The king read his speech, of course, seated, with the plumed hat of a field marshal on his head. When the reading was over all he had to do was to remove his hat, offer his hand to the queen, and conduct her from the house, But there came the difficulty. The king was at the aucen’s left, with his hat in his right hand and the parch- ment on which his speech’ was en- grossed in hfs left. He looked from one hand to the other, then at the queen, and transferred his hat to his left hand. but this only left the right hand, the wrong one, disengaged. Grasping his hat again with his richt hand, his ma- jesty made a desperate attempt to stuff the roll of parchment intoit. The at- tempt proved unsuccessful, however, and at last In despair he squeezed up the roll as small as possible and offered the queen two fingers. POSES AS THE PONTIFF, Servant at the Vaticnn Givens Sittings to a German Sculptor at Lat- ter’s Request. Pius X., strolling through the vati- can the other day, came to a room in which the German Sculptor, Joseph Frederick Limberg, is modeling a bust of the pope, copies of which are to be distributed toall the parishes of Germany. The painter was hard at work and on the platform where Pius X. had given the artist several sittings was standing another iive pope, or, at| least, a'live person dressed in all the insignia of the head of the church Pius X. immediately withdrew with- out giving evidence of having seen any- thing, but in conversation with sev- eral prelates later he made fun of the adventure. It seems that the artist, not satisfied with the few sittings the pope had given, persuaded a servant to pose for him In clothes borrowed for the purpose from the papal wardrobe, HAS GOLD ON HIS FARM.
