District Attorney J. W. Cur-
ley, of New Orleans, was assas-
sinated in bis office last week,
his slayer, C. B. Lyons, then
killing himself.
The tirst bale of the present

Mob law is prevailing to an
alarming extent in various
States. Hardly a day passes
that the daily papers, fail to
chronicle a rape, followed by the
sure work of Judge Lynch’s ex-
ecutioners.
Hon. R. M. Love, when killed
htd an accident insurance policy,
for $10,000. The company re-
fuses to pay the policy on the
ground that Love was killed by
a lunatic. It will probably go
to the courts for settlement.
For over ten days the columns
of the daily papers have devoted
column after column discussing
the condition of Pope Leo,
chronicling every time he moved,
and the least incident, no matter
how slight, that has transpired
in Rome since the illness of the
Pope, all of which is calculated
to give a Christian that tired
feeling.
Mr. Tillman, who killed Editor
Gonzales, has secured a change
of venue. The grounds were
that the newspapers and preach-
ers had prejudiced the neighbor-
hood against him. When any
man becomes afraid of the news-
papers and preachers he is not
a fit person for good society.—
Dallas News.
A nibbler is a man who enters
a grocery store, runs his fingers
into a sugar barrel and laps up a
couple of ounces of sugar; eats a
handfull of nuts, and then goes
over to the cheese case and cuts
off a slice for a taste; then as a
matter of course, he must have
a few crackers, and perhaps be-
fore he has made up his mind to
purchase a quarter of a pound of
tea he has eaten the profits of
two dollars’ worth of groceries.
To wind it all up, after getting
