AN AMATEUR MURDERER Good Reason for Telling the Story at Tills Time. . Now that (ho chances are that I shall be nominated for Congress nest elec tion, I hare been looking ever my past life, and I can not help but admit there are many incidents In it that if unexplained will seriously jeopardise my chances of being at the head of the pells. Supposing that in the heat of the contest my opponent suddenly charged tue with being under arrest for murder, and that, too, on my own confession, I Terr much fear that in the turmoil f a political meeting 1 'would not be, heard with that patience that would enable me to clear myself in the minds of the less partisan of the annrence. Dny U? Well, I couldn't very well do that, because the chanro would be tine, and it is well known that what ever else a politician mar do, he can never, never tell a lie. lie is like the curly-headed toy of the poem, or George Washington, or a newspaper in that respect. So I rather vhoose to tell the facts of the matter while the publio mind Is reasonably rain and then hare this account reprinted in the form of a cir cular durinjr the contest if the charge it at that time brought against roe. A friend of mine, a first-rate fellow ana an artist in tact the terras are generally synonymous was Instated master of a Masonic lodge, and after the ceremonv he gare a grand dinner at Anderton s Hotel, the Masonic tar- em of Fleet street. London. The ceremony took a great deal of time, and wh?n the banquet which fol lowed was over it was very late. found that all conreyances had stopped for the night. I tried to engage a cab. but as I lived a long way out. the cab bies showed great reluctance in accept ing so distant a fare. The nieht was clear and the walking good, bo I struck out and determined on the way to see some unfamiliar parts of London at an unfamiliar time. I buttoned my over coat arjout me and started out on foot. After I had gone several miles through the silent town, meeting no one but an occasional policeman or some ragrant like mvseir, 1 began to regret that I had not put up at one of the down-town 'hotels. An unaccountable thirst took possession of me, and this was the more remarkable as I had done what I conld during the dinner to quench it. Oi course at this hour there was no place open where a tired way farer could refresh himself. Looking down a side street I saw i bright lisht stream out on the r ad. and I said to myself that I could likely ret at least a glass of water there. I found this place to be apparently public, house. It stood, on the corner and had large windows covered on the lower half with red curtains through which a person conld not see, but to fudge by the sound of revelry within there was no lack of something to drink. It seemed strange that any place should so defy the law, but I was thirsty and went in. The moment opened the door there was an instant hntli and fi'frp onA lr ,V o.i tiiwrii4 mA ts well as they could throueh the eloiuis of smoke that filled the room. Ar-etrfl'-yh bar was erected to the right of the entrance, and behind it were barrels of beer. A stal wait barkeeper was filling glasses from these barrels without the aid of the ordinary useful and ornamental beer pump. Til take a glass of beer, if you please," I said, putting down my money. "B?er, sir? Yes, sir," stud the man. But he made no motion to nil my order. Ha looked toward the end of the room and a burly man in his shirt sleeves came forward. What's your, name?" he said. gruffly. My name," I answered, "is cash. I have found it a good title to travel under in different parts of the world. There's my card," I continued, point lng to the shilling on the table. am very thirsty and I Want a class of beer." )X you eo, do you? Don t you know that no beer's sold in London at this time of night?" "Well, you" seem to be having all ' you want here. "Oh, we seem, do wer And you want to make sure, do you? Now, we've had enough of your company. Haven t we, lads? Tbere'was a roar of assent at this and the beer mugs rattled on the deal tables. The bnrly man strode to the door and ooened wide. As he did so there appeared to - be a move among the assembly to as sault me, but the man held up his band and said, anthoritativoly: "Not hero, lads." "Now," he shouted, turning to me, "you qet outf" I never bandy words with a man who is much larger and 'stronger tham my self, and the speed with which I got out on the pavement rendered futile his good-n at ored attempt to assist me out. I heard the door bolted and the hnbbnb renewed with greater fierce b -es than before. I walked around the corner and stood a moment looking at the ruddy win dows wondering what the meaning was of such a reception. Even if I had tumbled into a private gathering, which seemed possible, the desire for a eool glass of beer ia not looked on by the average Englishman as putting a person beyond the pale of civil treat ment. It is a yearning they generally appreciate and sympathize with. As I stood there meditating on the circumstances a side door opened and a woman head appeared. Looking - f urtively up and down the street she wli'sr-ere l ben she saw mo. Don't stand there, but asked, "what have i mi" Whyr" I one?1" They tUUtk you re an Informer. ll.ii. r "111 gn back and show them fiu o an informer. What mould 1 inform about." "Oh, don't slaud there but go! They're too much drink In them to listed to you. Cut tor It or there'll be murder." With this tho door was closed as softly as it opened, and thinking that perhaps the woman knew better than what sort of companions site had, J cut for it." Before I got around the corner I no ticed three men come out, and seeing me cutting for it they followed, but not with as much haste as they would have done, I thought. If they wanted to catch me. Nevertheless before I had turned the next corner they were at the first turning, and a they came into the light of the corner lamp l no ticed that each had a stout stick in his hand, I ran down the next street and n a very few moments saw why they ilid not hurry. I win, in a trap. Up u the darkness before me loomed tliU huge brick viaduct of a railway that ran above the housetops. Against this ended the street and there was no way out except the road by which I came. Just as the position of affairs iawned on ma my three pursuer sp ared at the other end of the street. There was a lamp about half way down the street and I reached it a little before they did. AeIL ' 1 said, dcioctedlr. "1 sup pose it's all up. I see you know ma.' You won't know yourself when we be done w'yo," said the foremost ruffian. Oh." I exclaimed. "I give myself up. i am tired ol hitting, ami intend ed to g've up to the first policeman ! met But you may as well have the reward among vou. I suppose. It won't make any difference to me." "What reward? cried another of the gang. The one hundred pound. You know, of course, that I am Brown, the murderer. " Now, hre was a curious phase of human nature. Up to that moment they had been pressing around me. each waiting for the -other to strike first. But the moment I mentioned ny name they felt back aghast, as If It would have been contamination to touch me. And yet they were thein- elves EO:nz to make a brutal assault that for all they knew would end In murder. Brown was not the name of he murderer that all London was searching for at that time, but that name will serve. n nan neon week In hiding, with the toils yetting closr and closer around aim.

I could ee that the three had half a mind to fnt for it" themselves. "Will von go quietly with us to the station?" said the foremost ruffian. Certainly. Two of yo i can take my arm and the other follow with his s:ick. I con'dn't get away if I tried." They declined to touch me, but one walked on each side while the third followed. "This is Brown, the murderer. said the foremost ruffian to the sleepy inspector at the station, which we reached after a long walk. 'WkaWr' cried that functionary. as he sprang up, wide awake. The two policemen who were sitting in on a side bench jumped to their feet. slipped off my overcoat and stood In the dingy station in all the dazzling glorv of full evening dress. The ruf fians rubbed their eyes as if a Iran formation scene had taken place. Of course a man may be a murderer in dress suit, b it than is not the nopal ar conception of him. The policemen looked at me and be gan to laugh. There" the picture of Brown," said the inspector, pointing to the walk I am not handsome, but I did not In the least resemble Brown.

CURE FOR INSOMNIA. .4 Simple Method of secarlnc Refreshing nd Cninterrapted Sleep. I had frequently noticed that when engaged in deep thought, particularly at night, there seemed to be something like a compression of the eyelids, the upper one especially, and the eyes themselves were apparently turned up ward, as if looking in that direction This invariably occurred, and the mo inent that, by an effort, I arrested the course of thought and freed -the mind from the subject with which if. was en gaged the e3'es resumed their natural position and the compression of the 'ids ceased. " Now, it occurred to me one night that I would not allow the eves to turn upward, but kept them determinedly in the opposite' position, as if looking .lown ; and. having done so for a short time, I found that the mind did not re vert to the thoughts with which it had been occupied, and I soon fell asleep. I tried the plan again with the same result; and after an experience of two years I can truly say that, unless when something really annoying or worry ing occurred, I have always been able to go to sleep very shortly after re tiring to rest. There may occasionally be some diffi culty in keeping the eyes in the posi. tion I have described, but a determined effort to do so is all that is required, and I am certain that if kept in the down-looking position, it will be found that composure and sleep will be the result.

It hat Stay Be Seen la the Chinese Qutr ; trt of Kn frenolsco, One marked feature of litn Franc-lnso I especial Interest to F.teiii visitors Is the Chinese quarter. There arv suid to be 800,000 people In the city, of whom about 30,000 are Chinamen. The umber, owing to the restrictive legis lation by Congress, is steadily dimin ishing, and the oltlisens look forward hopefully to the time when the Chinese will cease to be a disturbing factor in their population and Industries. Un der the care of an experienced guide, acquainted with the language and peo pie, wo made an evening vMt to China town. We noticed several Joss-houses, where were all the paraphernalia of heathen worship. These places are a seniroe of revenue and the privilege of keeping them. It Is said, is sold to the highest bidder. Here are the altars, the Incense, the burning lamps, the Im ages and the worshipers, but In them all we saw no evidence of reverence or of religious feeling." Some of these temples are decorated with elegant woods, earrings, screens, bronaes, im ages and hangings of golden embroid eries, -.one place ol interest, we visiteu was a banquet kali which, we wore told, was the Chiuese Delmonlen. Hera dinners are given by the wealthy mer chants and others to their friends or to distinguished visitors. ' A banquet seemed just to have ended. Musicians making a horrid din, singing women with most unmusical voices, young girls and men gambling with dominoes or other devices, are in various parts of the rooms. A lordly Chinaman re clines upon a richly upholstered chair and smokes his fragrant cigar with an evident air of self-esteem and self-sat isfaction. In one corner is a luxurious ouch, on which recline two elegantly dressed Chinese. On the finger of one sparkles a large and exceedingly bril liant diamond. Between them Is a lamp. Euch has the opium pipe, and one is in the very a t of preparing to smoke the drug which, while it yields delicious unconsciousness, saps the very foundation of her.lth and moral char acter. We partake of a cup of fragrant tea and sweetmeats, for which we pay around price (the Chinese know how to charge), and go on our way. Two atures of Chinese life are patent to us as we walk lite street, first, tne woman slavery, and second the gam bling hells. Under the stars and stripes a slavery worse than that which held the Southern negroes exists iu San Francisco. Nor is it unknown to the authorities. Women, even girls of teuderest age, are brought from China, bought as slaves, held as slaves, guarded as slaves, and sold as slaves Walking along the streets, one ses them looking out of little grated win dows, the victims of man' avarice. Visiting the mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church on Sunday, wo saw at the services nineteen women and girls who had been rescued from this slavery, and are sheltered, educated and Christianised by the missionary and his assistant. As we passed through a narrow street our guide called attention to men standing guard. These were sentinels watching at the doors of gambling dens, ready to give warning at the moment of danger. The doors are iron-clad, and on in specting several we discovered the marks of the sledge-hammer, where on previous occasions the police had broken in. In one square, on the right and on the left, there must have been two doaen such places, and perhaps as many pitiful women slaves peering out of their little grated -windows. These things are all known to the authorities. Their openness more than Justifies the report that hush-money is paid to the police. Cue can not but conclude that the Chinese are an undesirable popula tion, not merely, as the average Cali fprnian will tell you, because he works more cheaply than the American, sends his money out of the country and brings leprosy in, but, more than all, he is a moral leper, corrupt and corrupting, and ho community can harbor him and daily see and tolerate his vices without coutagion.

The kind of food furnished to young animals during the earliest part of their existence, has an Important influence on their character and usefulness in afterlife. Nearly all breed are just what their respective breeder make ot them, and the profit derived from thvdr culture is governed, to a great extent. by the way they are fed and managed when very j-onng. Since so much of their future usefulness and value in after life depend upon their treatment when young. St would amply pay the breeder to give them a little extra at tention at this time, and see that every want is supplied in the best possible manner. The trouble generally is that the breeder is too anxious to have his young stock grow fast, and oftentimes he is found forcing them along to early ma turity with fattening food. This will give them a sleek-looking appearance, and this is Just what a great manv breeders are working for. but which really is a detriment to the utility and value of th stdck in question. "What should be aimed at by all breeders in raising their farm stock is a large frame well supplied with strong mus cles, and of course this can only be ob tained to best advantage by feeding on the right kind of food from the si art. Fatty food should always be guarded against, as excessive flesh is quite -burdensome to the young animals, and pot what they fhonld have at all. It is not the nature of young stock to be overfat, and when they are found in this condition it is a sure sign of overfeeding, or injudicious feeding, to say the least.' The food they eat at this stage of their life should be of such a nature as to develop bone and mus cle rapidly, and this is the end which all breeders ought to work for, as it if mnch more profitable for all concerned.

LEARNING TO SWIM. Aa tmpwtnt AeeweapUaliBBaa Taat RhsMtld tie Acquired by Everybody. Learning lo swim requires Intellect ual as well ns physical effort; the form er Is rarely uscl. and the. consequence is that it sometimes takes months, and often years, to learn. The great troullt in learning is th nervousness that every one f-cls at first about get ting the head under water, and all ef forts are used in keeping; the head out The experience of the writer In teach ing lioys to swim has convinced him that this is wrong. A cowl swimmer should be able to swim under water as well as at the surface, and tbe first step ,in learning should be to get ae customed to having tbe head under water. The lenmcr should at first have all fear taken awar. and then tbe rest is eay. Hie writer has taught quite a number -of boys to swim, aud In many ca they have learned at the wry first lime trying. His method is ss follows: Take the learner into the water, chiar water if It can be found, tbout waist deep, so that he knows that he can recover his footing at any time he chooses. The first effort should be to hold the breath and submerge the face, keeping the eyes open, or better still, if he can do it at first, submerge the-whole head. This shou'd be prac ticed until nod-fficulty is experienced In keeping the eyes open, and exclud ing the water from the month and nose, aud until all nervousness is gone. There need be no fear of injury to the eyes or ears. 1 hen the learner 'should select an old ct, say fifteen feet away. plunge boldly under the water, and make the best of his way to it by swim ming under water with his eyes open. and fixed upon the point selected. In almost all cases, his mind being re lieved from fear, he will instinctively adopt the methods calculated to accom plish the end desired, while, on the other hand, a nervous effort to keep the head out of water fixes the mind upon that alone, and the effort is made in that direction, rather .than in learn ing to swim. ' Some Instruction fn making the stroke, however, should be given. The finger ends should be brought to gether at the breast, with the thumbs side by side between the palms of the hands and level witn their upper edge; with the hands in this position. the arms should be extended to their full length, when the backs of the hands should be rolled inward, bring ing the thumbs down, until the backs f rm the letter V. the thumbs' being back to back and the edges of the forefingers touching. The learner is now in position for making the most Important movement in learning to swim, and this is made by sweeping the extended arms an dishing" hands rapidly around until they touch the aides, when they should again be brought to the breast ready for an other stroke. There are few readers who have not seen the movement of the frog in the water, and the aim should be to Imitate it in the move ment of the. legs. In the recovering stroke the movement should be slow; that of the propeling stroke rapid by comparison. O ily about two and one-half pounds of lifting force, in addition to the buoyancy of the body, is required to hold the head entirely out of the Water. O. Guthrie, in Chicago Herald.
