A DASTARDLY CRIME.
*'iend Enters an Asheville Home and
Attempts to Fire Bed.
Asheville, N. C., August 12.-When
the family of J. A. Wild, living on Hill
street, awoko yesterday morning, it was
disoovered that some fiend had entered
the house during the night, administered
chloroform to Mr. Wild's (daughter and
attempted to set Are to the bed on which
she slept. Nothing of value was taken
from the house exoept a wateh, whioh
belonged to Henry Wild, a son.
The family did not retire until after
midnight, and when Mr. Wild arose yes
terday morning he found the'doors of
his house open and the place strongly
filled with the odor of chloroform.
Upon going to the room of his daughter
he found her in a deep sleep and had
muoh difficulty in arousing her. On the
bed was a small bundle of rags thiokly
saturated with chloroform, while her
clothing and hair smolt strongly of the
deadly drug. A large number of half
burnt matches were strewn on tho bed
in which she slept mid the bedding was
scorohed in a number of places.
A bloodhound was taken to the soene j
of the attempted orime and apparently j
found a strong scent, whioh led tho offi
cers through a nearby oornfleld, where a
watoh fob was picked up, whioh had
boen attaohed to the watch stolen from
Henry Wild, whioh indioated that the
misoreant had passed that way. The
trail was later lost, owing to many peo
ple having crossed and recrossed it,
thus interfering with the dog.
No further clue has been discovered,
although the search still continues.
Should the misoreant be disoovered, his
life may pay the penalty for his daring
crimo.

STORY OF POOR BOY'S SAVINGS.
A Foot-Sore Printer Makes a Mint
Out of Three Hundred Dollars.
[Portland. (Ore.) Dispatch, August 9.]
There landed In Portland fifty-eight
years ago a foot-sore and weary printer
boy, looking for a job. He came from
Pittsburg, Pa., before that oity began to
turn out millionaires like sausages. No
one would haye pioked bimtfor a winner,
but that he ir? co-day the biggeit success
financially in the Pacido Northwest is
universally admitted.
This printer boy is now better known
as Henry L. Pittook, ohief owner of the
"Oregonian," which helped to organize
tho Associated Press, and one of the big
timber barons of the Paoiflo Northwest.
In addition to running hisa'newspaper,
just fifty-one years ago to-day, young
Pittook got together $300 and bought a
block of ground. It was way out in the
woods and oovered with timber. Port
land was the home of the Oregon peni
I tentiary then and he made a contract
with the State government to have the
conviots olear his ground for $100, mak
ing the total coot $400. He oarried this
property for four years without getting
any return from it, and then he married
and built a little cottage on one corner ;
as be prospered he built a larger house,
but an exceedingly modest one, and he
is just moving from that to-day to give
place to a modern sky-sorapor.
This block, wbioh cost a total of $400,
has been leased 'or 00 years. The
ground rent for the first ten years will
be $30,000 a year, and each five years
this will bo increased 10 per cent until
from January 1, 1007, to December 31,
2005, the annual rent of the blook will be
$103,508, and all this free of taxes or any
other expenso.
Mr. Pittook built the first sky-soraper
in this part of the United States. He is
ono of these young old men who partici
pate in all publio affairs. Like many
another auooessful man he is proud of
the fact that he has never been out of
debt for a single moment of his entire
life.

Little Girl is Carried Off from Under
Her Father's Eyes.
New York, August 12.-All day and
all night a distracted father and mother
sought through the streets of the lower
East Side for their lost baby girl, only to
learn yesterday, from a letter slipped
under their doer, that the ohild was in
the power pf the dreaded Blaok Hand
Band.
After reoeiving two previous notes
telling him that his ohild would be kid
naped unless he parted with a sum of
money, Bocco Valarde, a well-to-do
Italian merohant, found that the band
had carried ont ita threat.
In broad daylight, on one of the busi
est corners in a orowded district, little
Dominioa, five and one-half years old,
was playing with a number of children
on Tuesday morning, in J.'U?M view of
her father. A few minutes later the
ohild had disappeared.
Valarde owns and conducts a fruit
and green goods store at No. 2J Monroe
street. ^
Orly one day before tho ohild disap
peared Bocco had received the seoond of
two letters from the Blaok Hand
Band, marked with the familiar skull
and oross-bones. In it he was told that
unless he gave $300 to a man who wonld
oall upon him, one of his children would
be kidnaped. No man had called, and
Bocco at onoe connected the disappear
ance of the ohild with these letters.

How Ho was Cured of Balking.
[From the Nashville TennesAoean.]
"A balky horse ts the meanest thing
this side of Memphis," said A. L. Nich
ols, of Brentwood, Tenn. "I had a horse
one time that balked on all occasion?.
He would balk if you whistled, balk if
you laughed and balked if you looked
from the corner of your eye.
"One day ho balked and I could not
mako him move forward to save mi. An
old negro man happonod along and sup
plied a remedy. Goiug to the side of the
road, he pulled a handful of dog fennel
wood. Taking this, ho rubbod it under
tho horse's nose. The animal shook his
hoad once or twico, raised up his tail and
started down the road in tho merriest
trot you over saw. That treatment of
dog fennel ourod tho horso of balking,
no nover mado another attempt to act
ugly after that." ,

linn n, outs, burns and bruises are re
lieved at onoe with PinesalveCarbolized.
