AKIT OF BURGLARS TOOLS.

The most important article is the
jimmy, whose name has become, as
people say, household word, and
yet very few who have never seen a
jimmy know what it is. 1t may re-
lieve the ignorant and puzzllng ones
to know that a jimmy is but a cor
ruption Of the honest crowbar,
made of steel, constructed so that
the leverage is very great. They
measure in length from two feet to
three and one-half feet. Next to
the jimmy the alderman ranks next
in Importance, and concerning that
article even more inadequate no
tions prevail. The alderman when
in position, is an upright post
about three and a half feet high,
fastened to the floor by screws and
braced on one side at the top by a
plank or joist, so that it forms an
immovable pillar, against which a
drill or jack may be braced. The
most expensive tool in the kit is the
jack, an instrument constructed on
the principle of the screw of that
name, in common use, with the diff
ference that fine thread gave it al
most unlimited power, and that in
stead of fat plates to rest upon the
objects to be separated there are
claws which can be introduced into
cracks or other crevices. Besides
these tools there are wedges, whose
use is readily understood, monkey
wrenches, saws, files, gimlets, pin
GERS, skeleton keys and levers, tin
tubes with which to blow powder
under doors or into key-holes; fu-
ses and other little contrivances,
whose use might vary with circum-
stances. The implements are made
of the very best of steel, Of superior
finish, and complete set costs from
$500 to 81, 900. -

DIRECTOR GENERAL.

Mr.. A. T. Goshorn, of Cincinnati
has been appointed Director Gen.
eral of the Philadelphia Centennial
Exposition. Ohio is honored by
the selection, and the Centennial
has secured an ideal manager. Mr..
Goshorn is a phenomenon among
managers. Whatever he takes hold
of becomes from that moment sue
cess. His first venture was as
President of the Red Stocking base
ball nine. In a single season he
made ball playing a pastIme for
honorable men, and sent his club
through whole season without a
single defeat. Next, Mr.. Goshorn
was called to the managing chair of
the Industrial exposition, and for
two years he has made it the most
successful enterprise of its kind in
the country. In securing his sa-
gacity and experience at the head
of the Centennial Commission, the
managers have made rare hit. Mr..
Goshorn goes to Europe in a few
days to study the details of the vi
emma Exposition, and when he re-
turns he will give himself up to the
work of putting the Centennial in
form. 1t is n compliment to Ohio
that she is called upon to furnish a
Director General for the Exposi
ton, but as usual the Buckeye
State has the right man for the
place.

CROPS OF THE WEST.

The papers of the great grain
growing districts of the West con-
tinue to report that the spring has
been most favorable for the putting
in of wheat, and that a greatly in
creased breadth has been planted.
The crop will probably be a very
heavy one. The plants are remark
ably thrifty, and the principal dan
ger seems to be that they will grow
too rank, so that much will "lodge''
and be injured or destroyed by wet
weather about harvest time. 1t is
altogether certain, now, that the ex
port demand for American wheat
will be very heavy during the com
ing year. Farmers, therefore, need
entertain no apprehension of dull
market. Their wheat will be all
wanted at good prices. Their CHIEF
trouble will arise from insufficient
means of transportation.

SYMPATHY IN MONEY! MARKET

The sympathy existing between
the money markets of the world is
fast receiving very remarkable il.
lustration. A panic occurs on the
bourse at Vienna and securities de
cline in value, which decline still
continues. Immediately the rate OF
discount is advanced as the Bank OF
England, securities decline at the
London Exchange,and even in Wall
street there is general decline.
Yet in New York there is new deci-
ded case in the market,and a prom
ise of abundance of money is re-
ducing the rate of interest from day
to day. Despite this and the as
surance of continued financial case,
stocks are regular,and some Of them
show tendency to a farther decline
Yet this entire decline in value rest
on a really fictition basis.

CHRONOLOGY OF CHIEF JUSTICES

Altogether there have been but
five Chief Justices of the United
States Supreme Court. rhe first
was John Jay, of New York, who
was appointed September 26, 1889,
and who resigned in 1874, to go to
Great Britain. In December 1900
he declined a reappointment, and
died May II, 1929. Judge Rutledge
of South Carolina, was appointed to
the office by the President, July /,
1895, but the Senate refused to con-
firm the appointment. William
Gushing, of Massachusetts, declined
an appointment, January 81, 1896,
and March A, of that year Oliver
Ellsworth, of Connecticut, received
the appointment. He resigned in
1900, on account of his health
John Marshall, of Virginia, occupi-
ed the Office from January 81, 1901,
to July 6, 1885, when he died. De-
cember 2S, 1885, Roger B. Taney
took the bench, which he held until
mis- death, in October, 1864, and on
December 6, 1864, Salmon P. Chase
succeeded him. .ra..

HANGED.

Nixon, the bill poster, suffered the
penalty of murder at New York Fri
day, The fate of Stokes is almost
certain. His counsel have exhaus-
ted every artifce and subterfuge
known to criminal practice for the
purpose of securing him a perman-
ent immunity from the gallows, but
in vain. The presentation of his
case to the Court Appeals Is a mere
form; no one, not even Stokes him
self, supposes for a moment that it
can save him from the gibbet. 1t is
only when we contemplate the pun
ishment of Foster and Nixon, and
the almost certain doom of Stokes,
that VIC realize how great a change
has come upon the ways of New
York justice since the day when a
jury boldly pronounced Mcfarland
innocent. Hanging is not ''played
out" in New York, and will not be
while Gov. Dix retains his seat.

MANIA FOR PoISiNiNG.

That is a singular view which is
taken by Baltimore lawyer Of a
mania for poisoning. He thinks
that when a man or woman poisons
a human being without detection,
in ninety-nine cases out of a hun
dred the poisoner becomes insane.
His reasoning is that one successful
of this sort begets such sense of
power and of ability to remove at
will every human obstacle, so blunt
ing, at the same time, the sympathies
that in nearly every case the mind
becomes warped, and the prisoner
is ready with the deadly draught to
avenge the most trifiing disrespect
or wrong" Let those who think of
poisoning any body take warn

THE GRABBERS.

There is only one place where the
money grabbed by the back-pay
swindle will stick, and that is in the
pockets of the grabbers. Their eff
forts to give it away are unsuccess-
full. A preacher in Minnesota to
whom his Congressman sent $75 of
it, Indignantly returned it; one of
the counties in Farnsworth's district
returned to the National Treasury
the amount which he sent them as
their share of it; and now the New
York Board of Education, to which
Roosevelt has sent his share to be
distributed in prizes to the scholars
has refused to accept it. Uncle Sam
is the only one willing to take such
gifts, and he takes them because the
money was first improperly taken
from him. E sb-li ea -a r:I.

A TORPEDO ON A RAILWAY TRACK.
DiaboIicaI Attempt to Destroy a Train.

The. papers in the oil regions con
tain an account of a most internal
attempt to destroy a freight train
on the Allegheny valley railroad by
means of an oil well torpedo The
nitro glycerine magazine of Col. Rob
erts, near Scrubgrass, was entered
and robbed of three-quart torpe-
do, which was placed on the track,
probably with a view Of wrecking a
freight, that an opportunity for plum
der might be afforded. The train
came on, and the cow-catcher threw
the torpedo off the rail. A partial
explosion of the contents of the tor
pedo took place, lifting the side of
the engine clear off the track and
letting it drop back again upon the
rail; it is likely a little of the con-
tents of the torpedo had been spill
ed on the rail and exploded clear
of the rest it in the case. The ten
der and first freight car passed the
torpedo, but Jared it down against
the rail in such a position that the
fang of the wheels of the Second
car crushed and exploded it. The
effect was to break the wheels of the
car to flinders, to tear a great rent
in the boiler tank, it was an empty
iron tank car, and pretty generally
used up the car; to cut a large
piece out of the rail and excavate a
hole in the ground as large as a
mans body. The torpedo happen
ed to be one filled. not with glycer-
inc, but with Illuminating powder
which had got damp; otherwise the
explosion would have sent the train
and all on board to "Kingdom
come" 'sa7r
The detective force of the road
was Immediately put to "work up"
this case. 1t was done with so much
skill and energy that the right par
ties were nabbed. The detective
arrested at Scrubgrass Lafayette
Scott and George Mills, They were
taken to Oil City, and in default of.
bail were remanded to the county
Jail to await the action of the grand
jury. They will probable be held
under the act forbidding and pun
ishing placing Instructions on rail-
way tracks, under who the penal
ty is not less than three years i'm
prisonment. 1t is said the eviden-
ces is amply sufficient to convict
them. Scott is twenty years old,
and lives about a mile from Scrub
grass. Miller is only seventeen and
is the son of a widowed mother
living at Scrubgrass.

STUART MILE AND HIS.WIFE

A touching episode in the life ol
John Stuart Mill was the wonder
full love he bore his wife, and the
tenderness with which he cherished
her memory. He made his home in
the south of France, near her grave,
and all the devotion of his great
heart centered in the little mound
that covered her dust. How loyal
was this love, is shown in the dedi
cation of his book of essays 'On Lib
erty." There is nothing more manly
or touching in the annals of litera-
ture. 1t reads: "To the beloved
and deplored memory of her who
was the inspirer, and in part, the
author,ot ali tina tbs best in my writ
ings the friend and wife whose exal
ted sense of truth and right was my
strongest Indictment, and whose ap-
probation was my chief reward-I

THE HIGHLY MORAL LOTTERY.

The Protestant Episcopal Minis
tiers of New York held a meeting on
Monday Of last week, to discuss the
subject of church fairs and the sin
fitness of lottery gambling in con-
nection Herewith. One of the rev.
erend gentlemen unqualifiedly con-
demned the raising Of money for re-
ligious purposed by any games of
chance, but majority of his clerical
brethren diffed from him and argu-
ed that these little devices of the adj
versary were the only means by
which the worldly-minded could be
made to bear portion of the bur-
dens of supporting the gospel. To
the lay mind this argument is very
thin,and we very much fear that the
goddess young men who stake their
dollar bills on afghan robes, star
bed-quilts and satin lined dressing
gowns at church fairs will not see
the sinfulness of endeavoring to re-
plenish their depleted pocket books
by "coppering on the ace"at the
nearest club house on their way
home. We hope the New York As
sembly will follow the example of
the Ohio Legislature and pass law
so sweeping and stringent as to put
a question on all this kind of bust
ness, which speak plainly, Is swind-
ling, no matter whether the money
goes to buy parasols for the heath
en- or fast horses for young Ameri-
ca. Society wants no more of these
highly moral lotteries,and we regret
that the pulpit should be found with
the adversary in the great crusade
against this iniquity, leaving the
press to fight in the cause of morali-
ty unaided. But such seems to be
the melancholy fact.

AN OLD ENEMY UNDER A NEW
NAME.

The Republic says: The Demo
cratic party has at last found its
Moses. Hendricks, of Indiana, is
reported as the coming man who is
to lift Democracy from the gutter
and place it upon the throne of po-
litical power. He has already had
conference with his antiquated
friends who have grown old waiting
for office, and has assured them that
if they will follow him he will lead
them into the promised land. This
Indiana statesman, it is understood,
proposes radical change of pro-
gramme. He has not as yet advised
his friends to join the Republican
party, but he has done the next
thing to it-advised them to drop
the Democratic name and assume a
title that will at least disguise the
old material, and convey to the pub
lie an idea Of patriotism and hon
esty. This is a bold step, but a
leader to be worth anything must
be bold; so in this new departure
Hendricks proves himself a leader.
He calls upon his followers to make
sacrifice, but as they have nothing
TO lose except name and every
thing to gain, it is quite probable
that this latest political prophet will
have q respectable following. We
are willing to do all we can to help
Hendricks in this labor of love. The
old Democratic party has been gal
vanized into life so many times that
we are in sympathy with anything
that will permit the old shell to be
buried from sight, in a grave so
deep and secure that no political
resurrectionist can disturb its re-
mains hereafter. What Greeley
commenced we sincerely hope Hend-
ricks will finish. If he can succeed
in demolishing the name of Democ-
racy the reformation. will be com
plete, for there has been nothing
left but the name for the past ten
years. For the sake of human civ
ilization we trust that Hendricks
will be encouraged in his good
work. He has some tough custom
ers to deal with, but il he has faith
enough to wrestle in the good cause
he may before the close of the pres
ent century see the consummation
of his hopeful dreams.

The selection of Hon. Morrison

is remembered that neither political
party commanded a majority in the

received enough votes from the side
of his political opponents to make
sure his election. He is lawyer OF
eminent ability, being a graduate

A NEW LAW.

The Legislature of Illinois has
passed a law designed to remedy the
grievances of which farmers of that
State have been complaining for
some time past. 1t has been signed
by the Governor, and goes into eff
feet July l, declaring "more than a
reasonable rate of toll or compensa-
tion," an "extortion" punishable for
the first offence by a fine of not less
than 81 ,000,nor more than S., 600, to
be recovered in an action of debt, the
trial to be by jury. The fine for the
second offence is $4,000, for the
third 500, 900, and for every subse-
quent offence $4,000. 1t also en-
powers the State Board of Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioners to
fix and set forth schedule of max
imum freight and passenger rates.
This schedule, when fixed and set
forth, is to be binding both upon
the companies and the courts. ''Un-
just discrimination" which is defin-
ed as the charging, collecting or re-
ceiving for the transportation ofany
passenger or freight of any descrip-
ton, for any distance within the
State, the same or a greater amount
of toll than is at the same time
charged, collected or received for
the transportation, in the same di-
rection, of any passenger or like
quantity of freight of the same class
over greater distance of the same
railway" is also made punishable
by equally heavy fines. Certainly
this enactment is arbitrary enough
to satisfy the most bitter opponents
of excessive railroad charges.
