White Man Killed by Nsgroee. Nashville, Team, May 26.—In Tip ton county Tennessee, 10 miles south of Covington, Friday afternoon, Jack Biddle, a young white man, was shot to death by Bob Williams, negro. Bid dle was manager of a farm and the negro worked for him. L He went to th© negro’s house to remonstrate with him for not working, when he was attacked, by Williams and his broth ers.

Spectacles were invented late in the thirteenth century. The use of glass to aid the sight of defective eyes Is, however, much older. Nero looked through a concave glass In watching the glndlnt viul games, and many other historical men of his day were depend ent on simitar devices for lengthening their sight. Till the latter part of the thirteenth century only the single glass was In use. lu 1200 the double glass was in vented, and in the fourteenth century spectacles were used quite frequently by the very wealthy and high born,, al though they were still so scarce that they were bequeathed In will with all the elaborate care that marked tho dis position of a feudal estate. Tho first spectacles were made In Italy. Somewhat Inter the manufacture of cheaper glasses sprang up In Holland, and It spread late lu the fourteenth century to Germany, Nuremberg and Ratheuow acquired fame for their glasses between L100 and loOO. For many years glasses were used only as a means of aiding bad eyes, un til the fashion of wearing merely for the sake of wearing them sprang up in Spain. It spread rapidly to the rest of the continent and brought about the transformation of the old thirteenth century spectacles into eyeglasses and •Bventually into the monocle. Qulckallvrr.
