CORONER'S JURY PAILS TO PIX
INDIVIDUAL BLAME POR HOL-
LIOAY’8 DEATH.
EXCITEMENT HINDERS COURT
Judge Dissolves Grand Jury at the Ret
quest of the Jurors—Company
H Arrives.
Cairo, 111., Feb. 22.—No Individual
Deputy Sheriff was named In the ver-
dict of the Coroner s Jury which In-
vestigated the death of Alexander kf.
Halltday, who was killed in the mob
Thursday night seeking the life of
John Pratt, the negro purse snatcher.
The verdict was returned last night
soon after the taking of the testimony
of many witnesses.
It found that Halllday came to bis
death by gunshot wound caused by a
weapon held In the hands of one of
Sheriff Fred D. Neills' deputies, fired
from the north window of the Circuit
Clerk’s office In the court house.
The happenings of the day did not
tend to allay the excitement of the
cltlxens. Judge W. N. Butler dissolved
the Grand Jury at the request of the
jurors and now Sheriff Nellis will have
the selection of a new Grand Jury
which probably will convene March 7.
In addition to dissolving the Grand
Jury, Judge Butler adjourned court for
two weeks because of the unusual ex-
ettement. The arrival of Company H,
of ShelbyvIUe, made the number of
militiamen on duty hers about 850. Tbs
new arrlavlt Immediately began the
patrolling of the city.
The Coroner’s Jury recalled several
of the negro Deputy Sheriffs and quiz-
red them as to who fired the rifle that
uses steel Jacketed bullets. Each wit-
ness denied being responsible for Hal-
llday's death. Chief of Poliae Egan
told the jurors that Sheriff Nellis re-
fused to allow him to go to fialilday's
body in the courtyard.

SOMETHING SHE DIDNT KNOW
Colored Lady Evidently Had Eton*
Ing in ths Best of Now York
Society.
Two ladles, strangers to each other,
were seated upon a bench on ths
platform of a New York suburban sta-
tion waiting for a train. Ons of them
was young, pretty, and very stylishly
dressed. There was plenty of room
on the bench and s neat-looking col-
ored woman leading s spotlessly clad
llttlo pickaninny by the band, cam*
and sat down between the two women.
As sho did so the younger got up and
began pacing up and down tho plat-
form. The darky's eyes biased and
she was offended at once.
"Huh!” she exclaimed, ostensibly
addressing ths four-year-old pickanin-
ny, but really speaking for the bene-
fit of the lady at the other end of
the bench. "She’s got bad blood in
her. all right—thinks cos she’s got
good clothes, she owns dls bench.
"Why did she get up Auntie 7” asked
the child.
“Cos she thinks she's too good to
•It aside of us,” blustered the woman.
"Can’t anybody sit on these benches,
Auntie?" questioned tha child.
"Of course they can, chile—but she
thinks just cos she's got good clothes
she's too good to Bit aside of us. Little
she knows," In a louder key, "little
she knows dat Mrs. Astorbllt comes
and sits in our house by de hour—
little she knows dat 1 reckon.

Ink at 9100 a Pound.
“The best India Ink—It etould
really be called China ink—never
leaves China,” said a missionary. "It
costs $100 s pound, and the scribes
use It in writing the correspondence
of the royal family and the mandarins.
“India Ink Is made of the oil of the
poisonous seeds of the sosamum or
colsa tree. Varnish and pork fat are
added to this oil, and then, by means
of combustion, all la changed to
lampblack.
“The lampblack paste mixed with
glue is beaten for days on an anvil,
fine musk Is gradually mixed In to
give perfume, and the purest gold leaf
to give a'rich luster. Finally the ink
Is dried In molds for about a month.
“What makes the best India ink so
costly is Its purity, and, above all, the
long time given to Its combustion and
subsequent Jjeatlng., If you saw Its
beauty you wouldn't think It dear af

Hsr Bright Idea.
The daughter of a Providence
clergyman was reading In her eccles-
iastical paper an account of a religi-
ous ceremony in a western diocese:
“The solemn eucharfst was sung by
Bishop Weller, with Bishop Grafton
pontificating from the throne." "What
does pontificating mean?" she asked
her father. "Have you studied Latin
and don't know the meaning of a very
simple word?” was the reply. "Oh,
yes, 1 see, It means he bridged 1LN—

"You told me,” she sadly said,
"when you persuaded me to elope
with you that you would never per-
mit anything to come between u«—
that you would cherish my Ipve all
your days and that I should never
have cause to regret for a moment
that I had placed my happiness In
your keeping.”
"Oh. well, confound It." he replied,
"what's the use of harping on that
now? If you hadn't kept a lot of your
faults hidden from me I’d never have
fallen In love with you or wanted yoa
to elope, so you have only yourself to
Marne."__
