SHOOTS UNO KILLS HIS WIFE
Mack McCaster, Colored, Uses
His Revolver Effectually.
THE MURDERER AT LARGE
The Trouble Grew Out of a Separation
Caused by the Husband’s III
Treatment.
Mack McCaster. colored, killed his wife
with a revolver last night.
The tragedy occurred near Avondale
about 8:30 o’clock.
The woman died almost Instantly and
her slayer made good his escape.
Not Living Together.
McCaster had been married about two
years, but a few weeks ago his wife left
him on account of ill treatment. They
had been living In the Sloss furnace
quarters, where McCaster was employed
■as a common laborer about the plant.
It Is said, he beat her and she took up her
home with her brother-ln-law, Kd Durr,
and his wife.
Last night McCaster called to see his
wife at Durr’s home. Durr was called
away a few minutes and left his wife
and McCaster's wife sitting in the room.
When Durr had gone McCaster said that
he wanted to speak privately with his
wife, and the two went into another room.
It is said that he abused her with
Harsh Words.
and she attempted to leave the room.
Just before she reached the door Mc
Caster called to her authoritatively and
she faced him. He levelled the pistol at
her and pulled the trigger. Two bullets
struck the woman in the breast. Her
sister ran in Just as the murderer's vic
tim fell to the floor
iUUl tuujr ** uuituvv..
McCaster dashed Durr's wife aside and
ran for the door. Durr had not gone far
land when he heard the shots he ran hack
to the house. The two men met at the
door. McCaster pointed his weapon, but
(the other tore it from his hand and grap
pled with the fugitive. Durr's wife
screamed when she saw the struggle on
the threshhold, and Durr, thinking she
was hurt, released his hold on McCaster
and the latter ran off in the darkness.
The wounded woman lived only a few
minutes. Durr and his wife attended the
wounded woman as best they could, and
Itev. W. M. Walker, who is also a broth
er-in-law of MeCaster's wife, came to the
city and notified the police.
Every effort was made to capture Mc
Caster, but without success up to a late
hour last night.
It Is said that he is given to drink, and
was under the influence of whisky last
night when he shot his wife. He is a
black negro, about 25' years old, walks
erect, is about 5 feet 7 inches high and
weighs about ICO pounds.

BUYING LIFE INSURANCE.
The Equitable Life Insurance Society
Would Appear to Believe It Pays to Sub
mit Facts and Figures Through the Me
dium of Newspaper Advertising for the
Decision of the Public.
The recent libera] use of newspaper ad
vertising space by this leader of the great
life insurance companies of the world is
worthy of note. Putting forth the ad
vantages their company have to offer
the public in the way of safe insurance
as a profitable investment, they thus ap
peal to the business acumen of men of
affairs to decide the question of where
can best be bought insurance which in
nires at least at cost, or which shall be
i the best Investment at the' end of a term
of years. The advertising thus done ef
fectively supplements the work of the
experienced insurance solicitor. A care
ful study of the sixteen comparisons with
fen other large companies shown in the
advertisement of the Equitable appeals
to the best Judgment of the man in need
of insurance, and prove it to be one of. If
rot the safest and strongest, companies
dn the world. The Equitable Society has
just passed through a thorough and ex
haustive examination by the superinten
dent of the insurance department of New
iYork, whose report is full of the highest
praise for the financial condition of the
Equitable.

Short in His Accounts.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 19.—It has devel
oped here today that there is a shortage
in the accounts of Treasurer R. L. Ry
land of King William county. A special
to the dispatch from West Point says:
For nearly a month past there have been
rumors of irregularities in the office of
the King Williams county treasurer.
During the past two weeks these rumors
became verified, and now It Is a solid
fact that there Is a shortage In excess of
$12,000. Of this $5000 Is due to the county
of King Williams and the balance at the
state auditor's offidfe In Richmond. Mr.
Ryiand has deeded all hts property, val
ued at $6000 or $7000, for the benefit of
his bondsmen, out of which the deficit
can be made good. Mr. Ryiand a short
time ago lost his house by fire, and has
been very lenient with the people. Great
pity Is expressed for him by all classes.

"MEN MUST WOKE
AND
WOMEN MUST WEEP.”
It was a great poet who penned the
above lines, but he was very much
mistaken. He was wrong in saying
that women must weep. Women
were never intended to pass their lives
in misery. Why should they weep?
Women’s Weaknesses are the
curse of womanhood. They have
wrung tears from many a wife and
mother. What a pathetic story could
be told of the suffering caused by sick
headaches, backaches, miserable tired
feelings and the thousand and one pain
ful symptoms which so many women
endure. But it is all unnecessary.
They can be cured. Thousands
of happy women testify to this fact.
Ask them and they will tell you how
much they owe to the benefit received
from taking Warner's Safe Cure, the
best and most reliable remedy for all
ailments of womankind. As a means
of relieving and curing kidney, blad
der and female troubles and even the
dread Bright’s disease itself, this great
Safe Cure has never been equaled. A
short trial will speedily prove what it
can do for weak, weary women who
ned help.

A Letter From Constantinople.
Boston, Nov. 19.—A letter has been re
ceived in this city from a reliable cor
respondent in Constantinople, who says:
"Wherever the influence of the porte
in contradistinction to that of the pal
ace has prevailed, even when the con
flicts have taken place, wanton massa
cre has been checked.
"The government, porte and palace
alike Is doing its utmost to convince Eu
rope Jhat Armenians everywhere are the
aggressors. Thus gross calumny comes
to the justification of the massacre and
many are deceived. The Armenians are
being exterminated. Shall we deny them
the quality of manliness to stand fbr
their lives?
party has been a grievous blunder, but
the question has now passed that stage.
"The reaction against England has
begun. Russia's time seems not yet to
have come. Will there be any Arme
nians left to profit by coming changes?
"Again and again we hear that the
sultan Is soon to be taken off. One
might almost say that the forces of the
empire are devoted to guarding his per
sonal safety. It does look sometimes as
though within a year his throne and that
of his dynasty would go down together.
It Is hardly possible to conceive of times
more critical. My own impression, as
time passes. Is that Moslem fanaticism
is directed against Armenians alone.
“Our confident hope till one month ago
that the Christian Europe would forcibly
stop the fiendish and mad and lying
spirit of revenge seems doomed to bitter
disappointment. None can comprehend
what a slaughter house Turkey is be
coming. or what a terrible incubus the
chief criminal Is upon his own people as!
well as Christians."
A Dense Fog in New York.
New York, Nov. 19.—A dense fog set
tled over this otty and vicinity, greatly
delaying traffic in the city and harbor.
All suburban trains, elevated trains and
street cars were forced to move very
slowly and cautiously, and persons on
their way to work or to their places of
business were from thirty minutes to
one hour late. A serious rear end col
lision occurred on the Brooklyn bridge
shortly before 8 o’clock this morning,
which was directly due to the fog. Ssv
ereal cars were telescoped. Thomas Coop
er, conductor of the crushed train, had
both legs cut off above the knees, clean
as if done with an ax. A passenger named
Oraunit, a medical student, had one foot
cut oft In a similar manner.
Booking for a Black Fiend.
Raleigh. N. C., Nov. 19.—Governor Carr
today offered a reward for the apprehen
sion of Robert Scales, a negro,.for a most
brutal assault on Miss Belton, a 17-year
old girl, at Madison, Rockingham county.
She was sitting on the steps of her home
a day or two ago, her parents being ab
sent, when Scales approached and asked
her to go to the Btable. She refused and
he seized her by the arm and tried to
drag her. She screamed, he drew a re
volver and swore if she screamed again
he would kill her. She did scream and he
fired, the bullet knocking out one of her
eyes. Then he fled. Her little sister was
an eye-witness of the whole affair. Miss
Belton may live, though her injury Is
I very dangerous.

them all there must be one BEST. THE BEST is THE

Cleveland, O., stepped from the car as
he thought to the station platform to as
sist a lady passenger to alight. The la

porter that the conductor had fallen over
an embankment. Instead of this, how
ever, it was found that he had fallen
over the side of a trestle to the Cleveland

b»low. When picked up he was dead,
his neck having "been broken.

VERY SLICK POLITICIAN.
What Somo Americans Think of Li Hung
Chang—His Enormous Wealth.
Chicago Record.
Li Hung Chang is not only what the
young Americans call "a very slick pol
itician,” but is possessed of enormous
wealth and has reduced the practice of
bribe giving and taking to exact science.
He is undoubtedly the richest man In
Asia. No Indian prince, not even the
sultan of Turkey, has wealth to com
pare with his. Although he is not worth
as much as $500,000,000, as I have seen
it stated recently in the papers, the man
ager of the principal bank in Tientsin,
who knows as well as any one, esti
mates his fortune at £40,000,000, or $200,
000,000. He owns a large part of the
province of Nigan Wht. His estates at
Wuhti are enormous. He has pawn
shops in almost every city of the empire,
and they are said to furnish tho most
profitable business in China.
He is the largest shareholder in the
Hong Kong and Shanghai bank and the
China Mutual Navigation company,
which runs a line of steamers along the
coast. He owns coal mines at Kal Ping
and other places along the coast of the
Yellow sea, and also those in the prov
inces of Shangtung and Shansi. He owns
the railway between Tongku and Shan
hai-quan.
He owns acre after acre of valuable
real pstate in Tientsin and Shanghai,
two of tho most Important cities of the
empire, and has a large holding In the
shares of every corporation of impor
tance in both these cities, as well as at
other points in northern China. He owns
a big cotton mill at Shanghai, is inter
ested in copper and iron mines, nnd an
inventory of his property would linclude
a portion of every enterprise north of the
Yang’tze river that is worth investing in.
The present incumbent of the White
House Is not exempt from the established
prohibition of third terms, because of
his not wearing gilt buttons and braid
on his customary frock coat or not gird
ing his ample person with a sword. The

we reduced the price they cost one-third
less than any other first-class pattern.
