TO BEI HlANGED AGAIN. Will Purrs' Lawyers Argue That Ht Has Xladt One Hanging Bali the Judge Order- Aulother. A special to C Charlotte Observer from Jsckon, Miss., says: Wili Purvis. the Marion county white-cap per. has been re-senteucod 1ohang and -thatl, ends an it:teresting chapter of Mississippi histe. . Two years ago the life of the average negro farm laborer in South Missispit-i was matde niserable ii not uncerta by outrmres of murderous %'rhite-cap or ,anzi~ations in the county (Pike). These ir.i4night riders vented their spite on those who owned farms by whippi'4 and drivi tg oi1 the negroes and . Ih any instances burning their ebins and corn-cribs. In Lincoti iounty they be taie so bold that when a score of their ;tssociates were jailed, they rode into Brookhaven, two hundred strong, and demanded their release while Judge Christian was holding court, 'and the 'iational guard was called out to dis ;>rse them, the men under arrest being :sent to State prison. In Marion county numerous czimes were credited to the white-capt and a young man who had becomeoffended at one of their acts of villainy severed his vonnection with the band and turned State's evidence. On his way home from the cocet house he was killed from ambush. Circumstantial evidence was very strong that Will Purvis was the murderer. He was tried and convicted and sentenced to hang. The day for the execution came and thousands as sembled at Purvis to witness the hang ing. But the sheriff was not equal to' the emergency or else he had beer. bribed to let Purvis live. The ropart was tied so that when the drop fell the noose slipped and Purvis went t, the ground like a cbunk of lead Instead of danling in mid-air, The sheriff made as if he would try it again, but the crowd surged around him and prevented his movements so that the I condemned 'man was taken back to the jail where he has since remained. He still protests his innocence and his lawyer got the case before the Supreme Court again and argued that Purvis had been hanged once and the law vin dicated. The court held otherwise and ordered him re-sentenced, which was done yesterday by Judge Terrill, July 31st being fixed as the date. Meanwhile white-capping is one of the lost arts in Mississip-pti, The courts j have been so protirpt in bringing of fenders to justice Ihat what was two years.ago afrightfrel menace to the peace, and dignity of GT e State, is now exs. tinct, or will be, -when Purvis had paid I the penalty. tratural Gas in Tennessee. 1 few days ago there was an explosion o\ or natural gas near Whitebluff, in Dickens county, Tenn., that threw up several tons of stone and earth.

MORINLNG IN TIlE PARK. BY 3 ul 'E DBANGS. ENTRAL P A R K .as at its best, but it . was evident enough that Doug r a las Gray, as he en tered the park at its lower and prin; C eipal entrance, saw bothing 'of what ever there was oi beauty in the scene about him. Ap parently he was aot happy. He walked along slowly, Pith his eyes upon the path immedi tely before him, and with his hands Iqsped together tehind his back. There were but few people in the ?aths, and the drives were almost mpty, so that his attention to his own :houghts was not diverted by any oc asion to observe others, or by any aced to preserve himself from harm. Ie walked on thus, almost without ifting his eyes, past the sorry collec :ion of caged animals which were to be looked at later in the day by so many ,urious visitors; past the patient lonkeys, waiting the coming of the urse-girls with their charges; on brough the tree-lined mail and past he terrace, and so came to a bridge rossing a narrow part of the lake, rhere be paused for a few minutes nd noticed, wonderngly, how clearly ho trees and the blue sky, with the assing clouds, were reflected in the lull and almost muddy water. The resh air and the surroundings had oothed'and rested him, and, though iot conscious of the reason, he felt ess weighted with sorrow, or stronger tnd better able to bear his burdens, rhatever they might be. He walked n more briskly now, and skirting the amble, with its curiously successful mitation of nature's wildness, he resently came to a secluded bench, nd there he seated himself and, amiliar though he was with all the ark, looked about him as though the iew was strange and new to him. In eed, the circumstances were novel Lud his mood one unusual to him. 1lmost at his feet, or separated from im only by the width of the foot alk, ran the bridle-path, and beyond ras the wide, smooth drive. He looked differently upon the few drive:s with heir equipages, and with little interest .pon'the equestrians who passed before im. But within a few minutes there ame along the ,bridle-path, turning harply a corner just below where he at, a young woman on horseback. As he came abreast of him and saw who t was sitting there alone she checked er horse so suddenly that he was brown well back, to his manifest dis leasure, while she herself was almost nseated. To avoid her and her horse he groom who followed close behind as forced to make a quick, sharp rn, but he did so adroitly, and then, topping, he waited as patiently as he ~ould at a discreet and proper distance. nd Douglas Gray, when the young ady stopped before him in so unwise manner, he rcse in alarm and hur ~ied toward her. "You should not have done that," ts said in reproof. "Oh, good morning, Mr. Gray!I" he responded, with an inflection hich, to Gray's ears, perhaps then a tle more sensitive and quick to hear iffense than usual, had a sound of arcasm. "Good morning, Miss Leith," he eturned, though simplv, and then epeated, "You should not have . done hat. It was not safe. Really, Ethel, ou are too reckless." "Thank you. You are very kind," be answered, and then, with a quick hange of manner, she added, impa iently, "It was cruel in you to follow ie here." "Cruel?" he repeated in astonish ient. "Yes, cruel. I did not think you old. I thought-" "But to follow?" he said, interrupt rig her. You are hardly fair. You re on horseback ; I on foot. And I was ere first, you know. Surely I did not yllow." Miss Leith looked at him quietly r a fe w minutes, making no response i words, a smile just showing upon Ler lips as though she was amused ut did not wish to show it, but the mile grew and then she laughed ua strainedly, and so musically that e singing birds might have been lenced in listening envy. "Well?" Gray said, inquiringly. e was puzzled and a little hurt, too, at had he been more acute he would ave perceived that her laughter was t in derison of him, and that it was ot altogether joyous. The humor of e situation she felt ; but the situa on itself hurt, too. "Well?" he repeated. "It is so absurd," she answered, as e regained her self-control. "Indeed, Miss Leith," he returned, rith a great assertion of dignity in is manner, "You will pardon me if I y that I cannot see what can be so bsurd." "Well?" he said again, as she aused. "I hope you will explain." "I have been so unhappy so long ver since last night - because- be mse-I so feared you might have en hurt-because I did not know hat might have been the effect upon 'ou of my-my-" "Refusal of me," Gray said, as she esitated. "It was a refusal, you knorw -a very decided refusal; and I do ot see why -" "But you ought to see why," she riterrutedi. "I was about to say, only, that 1 [id not see why you should be afraid f the word." "Oh !" "A refusal it was," he repeated, adas to your reasons, of course I 'ould not ask. Who would, and for hat matter, why should I care to :now ?" he asked, bitterly. "Why, indeed ?" she returned as iutterly, and then ,continued abrupt : "1 am not heartless. I want you o know-I really do-all the night ag I worried and worried because I eared you had been so wounded. I -She laughed again before she went 'on-"here you are enjoying all this as if nothing had happened. It was absurd of me, was it not?" "Would it have gratified you had I -had I killed myself, say?" "Don't !" she said earnestly. "Men have been known to do that, you know," he pursued; "and for less eause than I have, too.' "Oh; Please do not speak so," she returned. "Promise me-I know you will not-will not do that; but prom ise me you will not do anything you should not." "I will do the best I can," he re plied, seriously enough. "You are laughing at me," she re agonded, passionately. "You made Ina think you loved me, too." "I am very glad I did make you think you; but it should not have been hard---I had only the truth to tell." "And yet you are here?" "Yes. I am her-, as you see." "And you don't mind at all?" she said, petulantly. "Ah, yes, Ethel, but I do mind," he returned, gently. "Perhaps if I did not mind so much I would not be here. I loved you, and-but-" he said, interrupting himself, and then he continued with a sadness which she, being busy with her horse, which had become restive, did not notice, al though she heard his words-"but I dare say you do not wish I should go into all that again, do you?" "No," she answered, curtly, an noyed that he should so ask her if he should speak of his love; and then, in her annoyance-an annoyance he was conscious of, although he could not understand it-she struck her horse and urged him forward so that he be gan at once a hard run, which carried him and his rider quickly out of sight before she could check and turn him, as she tried almost at once to do. When at last she succeeded, and came back to where Gray had stood, he had turned and was walking away, striking at the plants along the path with his cane, angry and hurt that his tround should have been so ruthlessly and so needlessly opened. But, in truth, it had not gone far, if at all, toward healing. "Mr. Gray!" Ethel called, for. he was not yet out of hearing. -Mr. Gray, you had not finished," she went on as he joined her. "Finished?" he repeated. "I don't know. But I am sorry to have driven you away by speaking of my love. 3 shall not so offend again." "Oh," she responded, demurely. "Besides." he continued, at once breaking. his promise, "you have told me that I was able to make you be lieve that I loved you. Why should I speak of it again?" "I don't know, I am sure," was all she could find to say. "Of course it is all over now. I would like to assure you, though. You were good enough, you know," he explained, "to say that you had been worried. I can only thank you for your kindness and interest, and say,as I said before, that I mean to do the best I can. I will not be over some," he added with determination, "or let my.life be ruined." "It will all. be easy 'enough, I fancy," she returned. "Don't," he pleaded. "Don't say anything so untruec. It will no be easy." "But you left me so suddenly last night, and-and-" she went on with hesitation and evident embarrassment, "and you began so soon to forget and to be here and interested in other things." "Oh, yes," he assented as she paused, "but, at all events, I did not begin to try to forget until you forced me to. And," he continued, grimly, "I have not succeeded very well, either. But I will." "Oh, certainly you will. There is no doubt of that. There are so many things a man can be interested in." "Fortunate' a man is compelled to be-at least, I think fortunately. He has his affairs." "That is just it !" she interrupted, petulantly. "His affairs, indeed!" "Yes," Gray went on, not heeding, apparently, the interruption. "And it is fortunate for me that I am com pelled to be interested in my affairs, is it not? If mny way had all been made fcz me I could afford to nurse ny grief and to make much of it, and I dare say I would. And that would not be good to do, surely." "No, I fancy not," she answered, doubtfully, and then with a quick change of manner she asked him: "But why did you leave me so sud denly last night?" "There are times when a man can not retreat too quickly," he returned, quietly, "and it seemed to me that I had come to one of them. It was all or nothing with me. I had been lover so long-I was your lover, you know. Even though ~you did not know it, and whether you wanted me to be or not, I was; and you do know it now. When [ cosld not be -that I could not be anything. I have loved you-how can rs tell? When didl fIrst meet you? Ever since then I think I must have loved you, and looked forward, and hoped to win your love and you. I was blind, perhaps, and deluded, but ny hope was very real to me. When that was killed, or gone, there was othing left for me to do or say to you. And I would not urge you; I would not plead for your love; I would not tell you that with it to help and encourage me I might win the world. Pshaw ! AltLhugh I did think it the one good thing which could come to me in life, I still did not want you to give it to me in pity, or because I wanted it and begged for it. No; I wanted it only if you could give it to me freely, and as a right. That is all." "Oh, that is-" "Except," he interrupted, "I want you to know that because you find me, as you said, trying to be interested in all this". -and with a comprehensive gesture he indicated all the fair view before them--"that I love you any less or think your love any less good to have and to keep. But," he went on, grimly, "we kr.-w- I can remem ber how cruelly a child suffers when he finds he cannot have the moon. But he lives through it. Hie has to, alas ! "Oh, I have no patience," she be gan; but interrupting herself, went on, abruptly: "If only you had been wailin t tnut me !" "Trust you 10 he repeated, is astou ishment. "I asked you to share all my hopes. Why. I asked you to be my wife! What stronger evidence of trust can a man give than that?" "Oh, that!" she said, contemptu ously. "Well, that is of some consequence, though you speak as if it was of none at all." "A man might ask a woman that because he wanted a wife." "Yes, he might." "Or because he though he owed so much to her." "Yes, I suppose so; but you know'? why I asked you," he returneJ, look ing at her curiously. "I know now-yes,' she answered. "But you know," she went on, im petuously, "you have spoken so often and so bitterly of women who-whc hinder their husbands and are drag upon them-of women who do not help their husbands. As if a woman'.t sole mission and sole aim should be to help some man !" she added, contempt uously. "What-" he began, but again she interrupted him. "And I don't see why a man--men are so strong!-I don't see why a man should need a woman's help. And you have told me so many stories of men whose lives have been ruined by' bad or unwise marriages. Oh, I rc member everything you have said everything." "But what has this-" "And you know you have thought me frivolous," she 'continued. "Surely-" "Oh, you have not rebuked me in words, I know," she went on, inter rupting hin again, relentlessly, "but your manner. As if a girl ought not to be happy and careless and free as long as she can be. Troubles and cares come soon enqugh !" "Ethel, for heaven's sake do let me speak! I am trying to understand." "Well?" "Do you mean to say that that is why you declined? That you refused me because you thought it would be better for me?" "Well--oh, don't! You will frighten my horse." "Oh, bother your horse !" Gray said, warmly. "There is only one thing I ought to do and want to do." "And that?" Miss Leigh asked, as she tried to soothe her horse, which had starteu and become restless as Grav had come closer to them. "~Simply take you, and keep you." "How that would look," she re sponded, and continued: "It is very fortunate that I am up here and out of your reach-now." Then she gave her horse his head and, urging him forward, began again her long-interrupted ride; but belore she came even to where her groom was waiting she changedher intention and turned toward the city. As she passed Gray, who still stood where she had left him, she called to him: "It is so late I should go home-and I am goinig." And with a long, easy stride her horse soon carried her out of Gray's sight. As the sun had risen higher a haze had come, softening the outlines of the distant trees, and giving promise that the day was to be a warm one. It was indeed already much warmer, but, nevertheless, as Gray retraced his steps toward the entrance he walked rapidly and far more vigorously than he had in the invigorating air of the earlier morning.-Leslie's Weekly. That Terrible Sparrow. Irerhaps the strongest argument against the sparrow is that he drives away the song birds. In certain cases, that is possibly true. When the com ing of song birds is encouraged by the building of boxes for them to nest in, the sparrow is quite prone to oust the song birds and take possession ot the boxes. If he finds a tree to bo particularly convenient, lie takes pos ession of that, and so it is unfortun ately true that some of our native songsters are rarer than they used to be. Unfortunately, ho wever, the spar. row is the least of the enemies of our song birds. The bobolink has-become rare in New England, but it is the mowing machine and the early cut ting of hay, not the sparrow, that has driven him away, and elsewhere it ir to the small boy and the purveyor of the restaurant, who go out to hal) everything and anything that has got wings that we owe the disappearanco~ of our song birds, much more than to the sparrow. In Enrope song birds and sparrows thrive together, and for one song bird that is native to the United Sta-tes, there are at least ten or twenty that are abundant in Europe. In the United States we have few song birds, and they ought to beprotectedagainst all enemies, even the sparrow; but in Europe the larks, the finches, the nightingales, find no difficulty in liv ing in the neighborhood of the spar row, and in this country, if we wonbd take away the gun from the small boy and put the purveyor of the restan rant in jail, it is probable thatt our song birds would Inourish quite weL' in spite of the sparrows. -Our Animal Friends. Trombone Cure for Lungs. "When I was in the early 20s," said Mr. Eugene Coffin, of Albany, N. Y., "I worked in a shop devoted to the manufacture of mathematical instra ments, and inhaled so much line brass that my lungs became seriously aflect ed and my whole system seemed un dermined. My doctor told me that if I didn't quit the business I'd make a premature trip to the bone yard. and threw in some advice gratis. He said the best thing for me to do was to take up some kind of brass instru ment, a trombone, for instance, and blow it with great vigor and regular ity.' It would repair my damaged lngs and restore the organs .to their normal condition. "Well, I took his advice, and ere long developed a fondness fo: all sorts of horn instruments. But best of all, I found - that what the me.dical man said in regard to the efet of a trombone upon my health was veri iied. From being an eacae wreck I became the proprietor ot a double chin within two yecars, and when I paid a visit to the sen of my Iold labors not one of my former fel low workers knew me.

Nothing could be more dreadfgl than the extent to which human sacri fce entered into the religious observ once of the Aztecs before their con' quest by the Spanish pioneers. Tht chronicles of the Conquistadorer abound in ghastly descriptions of the huge teocallis or sacrificial pyramids on which human lives were offered up by thousands to appease the cruel gods-f erocious looking idols invent ed by the crafty priest, In some ol them they found vast piles of skulls and bones, mute evidence of the bloody tragedies which had b~eenl en acted no one knows how many desolate centuries before the light of civiliza tion dawned. In the narrative of Bernai Diaz del Castillo, one of Cortez's soldiers, he speaks of seeing such things in the teocallis in the City of Mexico as were simply appalling. On the sacrificial stones he saw human hearts and piles of bones, and clotted blood was every where. As many as 500 victims in a day are said to have fallen beneath the knives of the priests with indescriba ble atrocities of mutilation.-.-Phila. IS IT A MO NOPOLY? This Question Goes into. the U. S. Courts. The attorneys of Julius Lowenstein, of .orth Carolina, have begun proceedings in the Circuit Court of the United States for the recovery of a barrel of whiskey which was seized by the dispensary constables dur ing May on the grounds that the dispensary system is a monopoly, and that as such it is repugnant to the Act of Congress of 1890, en titled an "Act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraint and monopoly." Of course in bringing this action the lawyers not only propose to attempt the recovery of damages for Mr Lowenstein. but also to at tack the constitutionality of the dispensary law. It will be remembered that Judges Mc Iver and McGowan have both already declar ed the dispiensaIry law to be a monopoly, and it is probable that some stress will be laid upon this circnmstance. The case will not be heard in the Umitcd States Court until the fall term in Charleston. S. C. Old Liberty at Atlanta.

A prompt protest came from the home office to the effect that the latter figure was too low, and the obliging colonists have raised it to $35,000. The Gov. ernor is one of the officials which the British Government does not allow the colonists to elect. 000K BOi SEvery housekeeper wa *things toeat, and h< ~'"The Royal Baker $ Contains One thousa * every kind of cooking + Rudmani, New-Yorl + Free by mail.

They sent me, together with hers, to Washington-a ride of about 160 iles. Raving no room in the box cars we ere placed face up on the bottom of flat rs. The sun beat down upon our unpro-, ted heads. When I reached Washington was insensible and was unconscious for ten ys while in the hospital. An abscess gath ed in my ear and broke; it has been gath-. dng and breaking ever since. The result f this 100 mile ride and sunstroke was heart isease, nervous prostration, insomnia and beumatism; a completely shattered system rhich gave me no rest night or day. As a ist resort I took some Pink Pills and they elped me to a wonderful degree. -My rheus tatism is gcne, my heart failure, dysepsia nd constipation are about gone, and the ab mess in my ear has stopped discharging and iy head feels as clear as a bell, when before t felt as though it would burst, and my once battered nervous system is now nearly 5und. Look at those fingers," Mr. Edwards aid, "do they look as if there was any rheu iatism there?" He moved his fingers rapid F and freely and strode about the room like young boy. "A year ago those fingers were arled at the joints and so stif that I could ot hold a pen. My knees would swell up ad I could not straighten my legs out. y Dints would squeak when I moved them. Siat is the living truth. "When I came to think that I was going o be crippled with rheumat:sm, tog rith the rest of my ailments I tell you l eemed not worth living. I suffered fro lespondency. I cannot begin to tell yo*" aid Mr. Edwards, as he drew a long brea 'what my ieeling is at present. I think it 'ou lifted ten years right off my life and lefB e prime and vigorous at forty-seven, I ould feel no better. I was an old man and. ould only drag myself painfully about the, touse. Now I can walk off without any rouble. That in itself," continued Mr. Edwards, "would be sufficient to give me ause for rejoicing, but when you come to onsider that I am no longer what you aight call nervous, and that my heart is ap arently nearly healthy, and that I can sleep ights, you may realize why I may appear to' peak in extravagant praise of Pink Pills. Lhese pills quiet my nerves. take that awful lepression from my head and at the same ime enrich my blood. There seemed to be Lo circulation in my lower limbs a year ago, y legs being cold and clammy at times. (ow the circulation there is as full and as risk as at any other part of my body.
