MYSTERY AT HOWELL

Stranger Falls Unconcious on

K. R. Track.

Was Well Dressed and a Mason

Refused Positively to Oive

His Name.

Howell has ;i mystery. The folk

of the thrifty little village in South

Christian are deeply interested in

the identity of a stranger who lies

at the home of one of Howell's citi-

zens in a very critical condition.

At 11 o'clock yesterday morning

a well dressed man of rather pre-

possessing appearance walked

through the village, following the

track of the L. & N, railroad. He

looked neither to the right nor the

left and seemed oblivious of the

curious eyes that followed him.

About one hundred yards north of

the town he was seen to reel sud-

denly, throw Up his hands and fall

by the side of the track. He did

not rise and several citizens went

to his rescue. He was lying un-

concious where he had fallen.

There was a slight incision on his

head caused from contact with a

cross tie as he fell.

Kind and willing hands conveyed

the unconscious stranger to a store

and a conveyance was summoned

and he was taken to the home of

Mr. C. N. Fox, near by. A phy si-

cian was sent for. He w as at a

loss how to diagnose the case.

There was no evidence of intoxica-

tion but his features had the ap-

pearance of a victim of cocaine. He

was very feeble and at times de-

lirious and seemed to be suffering

intense pain. In his lucid moments

he talked to those who watched at

his bedside. His accent was that

of an Englishman. He refused pre-

aistently to give his name and for-

bade an examination of his papers.

He wore several Masonic emblems

and showed conclusively that he

was a member of the craft. He had

a gold watch on his person and a

considerable sum of money. No

one knows the mysterious strang-

er and he had never been in that

vicinity before.

tion met in this city Friday with

kins county and Hopkinsville, Con-

MACHETE OF CUBA.

It Is Mode in Nearly Thirty Dlf-

ferent Forms.

While military experts have beentelling us for years that the new-

conditions of modern warfare havemade the cavalry charge obselete,

we read nearly every day of Cubanvictoria* won by cavalry wielding

the "terrible machete."

Yankee hands forged the weaponwith which Cuban patroits are

carving out for themselves andtheir children an independent St ate.

The machete (pronounced "ma-chetty"), which la the implementfor all needs throughout Spanish

America, and has, in so manyfurious charges, brought triumph

to the Cuban insurgents, has long

been made by thethousand at Hart-

ford. Conn., and sold to all of our

Spanish-speaking neighbors.

This blade is first cousin to the

sabre of our own cavalry, but,

while the sabre serves only one

purpose, the machete serves many.leful in pea

Almost every Spanish-Ame

male above the age of child

carries a machete. The lal

is it, because with the machiits sugar cane, prepa

and trenches the ground for his

crop. The horseman wears the

machete, because with it he cuts

his way through the woodlands

during journeys over rough coun-

try. It is sword, spade and hedg-

ing-bill, ax, hatchet and pruning

knife.

The hidalgo wears it with ail-

.-red hilt and tasseled scabbard;

his humbler neighbor is content to

carry it bare and hilted with horn,

ood or leather.

You may have the machete in

nearly thirty different forms. Theblade, from ten to twenty-eight

inches long, may be either blunt

or pointed, curved or straight,

broad or narrow. The favorite

vith the laborer is the machete of

nedium length, with unornamented

handle and broad, straight blade.

pt*o things have made cavalry

licuous in the Cuban war at a

time when men had begun to think

if the cavalry sabre as sure to take

its place with the lance among the

weapons of the past. First, every

Cuban Owns a machete, and maya horse. Given fifty Cubans,

each with horse and machete, you

have for the purposes of this waran effective troop of cavalry.

Again, nearly every engagement

of the insurgent war has been

fought on rough ground, where the

nfantry hollow square could not be

itfectively formed.

Cavalry can rarely penetrate the

-quare of infantry bristling with

bayonets and ready to pour volley

after volley into an advancing foe.

Hut, on the other hand, infantry

formed, as troopa must be. upon the

rough Cuban battlefields, cannot

easily withstand the charge of cav-

alry armed with the terrible ma-

chete.

A Narrow Escape.

of Clarksville, came near being

Sensational Divorce Suit.

A divorce suit which will attract

considerable attention by reason of

the plaintitf.s age and the promi-

nence of the partiesVas filed in the

circuit court yesterday. The plain-

titr is Mr. W. O. McGehee,of Trigg

ounty. He is Tiycars of age and

vas married to his present wife

learly three year ago. At the time

>f the marriage she was the widowj

if, M. West. Their domesticj

troubles began shortly after their 1

vows were plighted at the altar,

She developed such a violent and

ungovernable temper, he alleges anil

behaved toward him in such a cruel

md inhuman manner as to indicate

ffl her part a settled aversion and

dest rop permanently his peace and

happiness. He says sbeisqaarrel-

e. abusive, vindictive, coarse,

vulgar and profane and unfit for

any self-respecting man to live

with. In July 1896 her conduct, ac-

cording to his petition, became so

•Utrageoua that he w ent on a visit

to his children. When he returned

to his home she had left and they

have not since lived together. He

prays for an absolute divorce.

Suit Against the City.

W. L. Bradley has instituted

nit against the city and wants

$500 damages, He says in the pe-

tition that he is ~o years old and a

poor man compelled to earn his

support and the support of hia

family by manual labor. OnMarch 2(>th whilequietly and peace-

fully walking down 7th street, he

says he was set upon and assaul-

ted by a couple of the city s agents,

dragged through the streets andthrust into the lockup where he

spent 15 hours, (in Sunday morn-

ing he avers, he w as brought out

and told that a line of $6,33 had

been assessed against him and

that if he would sign papers pur-

porting to be a bond he might go.

The technical point upon which the

actio,, is based is the alleged con-

viction without a trial, without

w itnessea or the presence of the ac-

cused in court.

VICTIM OFAIlOTKIXLKIiK

•J.'ae Professor a Rutned Man Ovriugto One Shin or.

"If it had not beou for one of you

fellows I might now be supporting

myself comfortably by my hypnotic

powers instead of playing the piano

and doing vaudeville turns," said the

professor- after he had finished his

Ptiint at the Friday night smoker of

the Hotel Clerks' Life Saving, Social

and Outing club.

"It was four years ago," he contin-

ue^ "tihat I landed iu N«\v York with

enough money to run me for two

weeks and no prospect of an engage-

ment. I had left New York with the

Fly-by-Night Burlesque troupe. I

played the piano for them al night

and circulated handbills in the day-

time. We did a ragged one-night

stand business, but we managed to

pay expenses until we reached Three

Stivers, Mich., and nothing would go

in that town. They wouldn't have ua

there, and the company broke up.

Each member had to shift for himself

or herself.

"I hjd done something in phrenol-

ogy and hypnotism, and I made myexpenses back to New York and a

little more. I didn't know what to do

when I got here,andafferworkingtlie

saloons as a phrenologist for a week

I saw that I must strike a new lay or

Btarvc tod<eat.b. I am pretty strong in

hypnotism, and I had cultivated it

for several years. There are so manyfakirs around, however, that exhibi-

tions of it didn't pay.

"It was purely by chance one morn-

ing after 1 had paid my last dollar for

room rent that I discovered a way to

utilize my hypnoti

ithadn'tbeen for a hotel clerk 1 mighl

now be working it. I war- down on myluck, and I began looking through

the porsonals and lost and found no-

tices hoping rJhal something would

turn up. This notice caught my eye:

•• 'Found, a sum of money In a pocket-

book on Hrondway. Owm-r im -

proving property and paylns for adver-

tising Mary K. O.. 100 Weat— street.'

"It occurred to me that Mary was o

very honest woman, and I wondered

if I couldn't guess a description of

the pocketbook and the amount of

money and so get it to tide me over.

I speculated on what sort of a womanMary was and then came the thought:

'Why not hypnotize her and get her

to tell all about the pocketbopk,?'

The more I thought it over the better

I liked it, and 1 went to Mary's ad-

dress to see what 1 could accomplish.

YOU know that it is an easy matter to

hypnotize the average woman. 1

have done it easily many a time. For

ordinary cases I wear a large paste di

amond in my scarf and I ask the lub-

ject to look at'it closely. Li half a

minute she is under the influence.

When the maid answered my ring at

the address given in the advertise-

ment I told .her that 1 had come to

claim the purse. She shouted up-

stairs:" 'Mrs. Green, here is the gent what

lost the money,' and Mrs. Green cami

down evidently very much disturbed

by her maid's awkwardness. Mrs

Ghrteri was a motherly, philontthropie-

looking woman, and as sh« began

apologizing for her maid I concluded

that she was a good subject.

"'Jiefore 1 say anything aboul the

pocketbook, madam,' I said, 'won't

you be good enough to look at thisdia-

mond in my scarf pin and see if it is

cracked? A boy threw a stone at meas I entered the bouse and it struck

this pin. I am afraid that he injured

it.'

"Mrs. Green wassympatheticandas

I stepped to the light she looked at

the pin. She brought her Byes close

to it and at my request stand at it

steadily until I said:" 'Now, Mrs. Green, that is not ft

pin. It is a poeketbok. Can you see

'"Yes, it is a pocketbook.' ihoan-

iwered, in u mechanical voice.

"'It is the pocketbook which you

found on liruadwny.'" 'Yes,' she answered." Dcscribo it in detail,' I com-

manded."'It is a hhick pocketbook,' sin-

said, 'with a silver monogram,".!. T.B.," on the back. It contained thren

$20 bills and one ^.Miill. T!. ill"

"Thank you, Mrs. Green,' wid I

passing my hand

MiBd be surprised to Rnd howhonest people i lu re are in this

Nearly every week two or

poeketbooks are picked up by-

people who arc anxious to return

Then tin re is jewelry, and be-

the two I managed to make a

jood income. Occasionally I

would find that the advert iter was a

person wbom I couldn't hypnotize,

ind then I backed out as gracefully

ns I could. 1 was very ?urec>>ftil, how-

ever, and the simplicity of the schemepleased me. I wondered why it hud

never occurred to nnv other h\pno-

.sts. To my friends I explained myrctoperity by saving that an uncle

md left me a little fortune.

"Well, sir, it so happened in the

course of business that I investigated

advertisement which ran as fol-

lows:' 'Found In the hull of the Hyphen hotd.porkcthonk containing money and pa-

ptrs. Inquire of Shiner, night oltfH at

I ought to have known better,

I didn't. That evening I went to

hotel and inquired lor Shiner,

lie was a very dapper little man and

as soon as I saw him 1 had my doubts.

I didn't intend to back down until I

was forced to, however, and, telling

him that I came to recover a pocket'

book, I asked him to step into the in-

ide office with me and incidentally

ell ine.what he thought of my dia-

mond. The pin interested Shiner

and as soon as we got under the light

began to examine it. I saw from

the expression on Ml face that I had

made a mistake.

Why, it's simply imitation. It's

not the real thing,' he exclaimed.

Must look at mine by way of compar-

and he unbuttoned his coat and

displayed a stud as big as a walnut.

It radiated light in many colors. I

turned my eyes toward it and al-

though Tw:ts nearly hlinded I could

not turn them away. It was real and

dazzling.

As I looked it seemed to be- wink-

ing at me and then it told me to tell

why I had come to the hotel. 1 told

the whole story from the beginning

and suddenly I v. as aroused by B slap

on the back. I was in the office.

Shiner was looking at me with a grin.

" 'Well, you arc a smooth article,'

he said, 'but you should not attempt

to hypnotize a hotel clerk, and above

all to flash a paste diamond on him.

Did you. know that my stone hypno-

tized von and that vou have given

your snap away? Well, it did. 1 know

I spote you unless! bearofyour work-

ing it again. Let me (ell you, how-

ever, tihat your nerve is gone. Youcan't hypnotize again because your

nerve, is gone. Now get out of here,

quick.'

"I got out and I found that the

clerk had told vhe truth. My hyp-

notic powers wen-gone. I wasruinetl.

I went back to thumping the pian

and doing vaudeville acts. It doesn*

pay nearly *o well. Because of the

evil which Shiner did to me I charged
