Robvery was apparentâ€" ly the motive, as the man‘s trousers were loosened at the waist, where it was helieved he carried a belt containing money. Moreover, blood stains in the right hand pocket indicated that the murderer had thrust his hand into the pocket. That there had been no strugâ€" gle was evidenced by the fact that the few pieces of old furniture in the room in which the deed was committed had rot been disturbed. * The murderer, who _ had lppnrendy been frightened before completing his search of the victim‘s clothing, overâ€" looked a bag containing $100 in gold of _ Macedonian denomination, â€" which was found sewed to the linen of the victim‘s _ inside vest. _ The murdered man wore two pairs of trousers _ aund two vests. The: body â€" was found by _ Palla Stefoff, who is detained as a material witness.

FATAL SMASH. DOPE FIENDS HIS EYE DAMAGED. animals ?" A SPIDER AS PET. To be Built Principally For Parâ€" A great ship canal across Scotland is now being discuesed as a feature of the general plan for British mational deâ€" fence, At the present time there are two waterways across Scotland. One of them is the Caledonian Canal, which has a large number of locks and will reâ€" ceive vessels up to 160 feet in length. The other is the Forth and Clyde Canal, 30 miles long, 27 feet wide at the botâ€" tom and 10 feet deep, which was openâ€" ed for traffic in 1790. None of the proâ€" jects under discussion relates to the Calâ€" edonian Canal, but there are several with regard to the other. One of them is to enlarge it to accommodate the heaviest battleships of the navy, and the other is to alter it into a tidal canal with hydraulic lifts at each end,. Other plans for a ship canal have also been proposed. One of these starts in the neighborhood of Clydehbank and _ runs nlong the Forth and Clyde Canal for some disiance and then through the valleys of the Kelvin, Bonny and Carron to the Forth River, This project conâ€" templates six locks at each end of the canal. Another route is from Grangeâ€" mouth on the Forth to Loch Lomond, _up that lake and across a narrow neck of land to Loch Long, and through the ‘ latter to the Firth of Clyde. This last Which Mr. MacWhackt HMopes His Son Will Never Contract. route is advocated by the Forth and Clyde Canal National Association, . of which the Duke of Sutherland is presiâ€" dent, and is estimated to cost about $00,000,000. Although it is believed that a canal along any of these routes would be used to a considerable extent by merâ€" chant vessels, the main argument for the great expenditure is military, and a decision to build along any one of the routes is likely to be determined by the strategic importance of the work. "I suppose it‘s a fact," said Mr. Macâ€" Whackt, "that about the worst habit you could contract is that of sitting down and waiting for something to turn up. "I‘ve known a lot of men that have had this habit, but I have never known one of them to have anything come to him yet. Of course there‘s a chanee of a man‘s being struck by lightning, but if you take the total population of the world and divide by the number struck you would find that the chances of beâ€" ing struck are very small, and the chances of anything coming to a man who is waiting for somflhil;fi to turs up are a great deal emaller still, "You see, as I tell my son, William MacWhakt, jun., something, that is to say, the something that we are alâ€" ways looking for to turn up, is really not, as you might say, a thing of auâ€" gratory nature, tnai is, not a thing that seeks people. In fact, one of its chief characteristics consists in its inclination to stick somewhere, generally more or less far off, in which it is like gold in its raw shape, which lies buried in the earth at a great distance, where we must go and dig for it and dig hard if we want to get it. Measles and various other afflictions come to us, but not #0, as a â€" rule, with something, meaning prosperity, which we must go out and seek. "So I tell William that 1 hope he won‘t join the great army of those who sit down and wait for something to turn up, le might be struck by lightning, but the chances are so much again«t it that it would be a terrible waste of time to fiiuw ‘em out, and there wouldn‘t be anything coming to him then. "What 1 hope is that William will get out and look and dig for what he wants and not sit down and wait, and he won‘t find the competition as keen as perhaps he thinks, for really there are not such an everlasting lot of steady, stick to it diggers. ‘There‘s a chance jor every man that means business. "I tell Willie that if he doesn‘t get the biggest prive in the whole world he‘ll get something, and something worth having, if ho‘}l only get out and get to work around among men in whe places where the «lifiaingn are found. "That‘s what I‘m hoping William, jun., will doâ€"go out and work like a man for what he wants; the thing of all others that 1 hope he won‘t do is to it down and wait for something to turn up."â€"New York Sun, In chronicling the death of a 17â€"yearâ€" old athlete, of Pittsburg, and the colâ€" lapse, physical and mental, of a New York waiter, both of which resulted from the craze for longâ€"distance, or Marâ€" athon, racing, the New York â€" HMeralid strongly condemns this form of exco«s in athleticism. It say«: "Marathon madâ€" ness correctly describes the folly of im matured boys and physically incompeiâ€" ent young men trying to emulate the feats of mature, strong, and carefully trained athletes. ‘The news columms of late have chronicled the death of many of these overâ€"ambitious and indisereet boys and men, but for every one whose death is chronicled thore are unheard of scores whose constitutions are perâ€" manently ruined, â€" Physicians attached to free clinics in this city can tell a story about that." Great as is the evil done in the case of adults indulging in these contests, it is probable that the results are #til} more deplorable in the case of immature lads subjected to such physical strain. . Evidence abounds 10 prove that it is ruinous to them; and it would be well if boys could be dissuaded from entering such trials of speed and endurance. lndeed, the laws made oy society for its good in many ways interâ€" fere with youths when the reasons for interference are lees obyious than is the harm done by Marathon racing exces«es, Just think of the ontery that would heâ€" raised if a parent required or induced a lad to put into the sawing of wood o1 hoeing of potatoes the work and endurâ€" ance called for by one of those Maraâ€" thon contests! A small boy went into a South Boston drug store, wrinkled his face, rubbed his head and rubbed his left foot up and down his right leg in an effort to rememâ€" ber something that had escapod him. "Say," he began, "will you tell me the name of the place where we Americans have so many soldiers?" "Fort Bheridan ®" "Oh, no, it‘s further away than that and a new place." "The Philippines ?" "That ain‘t just it, but it‘s someâ€" where around there." THE WAITING HABIT, "Perhaps you mean Manilia." “)lflli‘lr!
