knowing ones predict that it will be n
greater circus than the one lately on exbi.

tain some very fine and rare animals. The
horned gnu from the hot lsands Of Wood,
the spotted tapir from the jungles Of Jack.

Peasants, are mentioned among the new
features that will add to the interest OF the
occasion. Taking these Democratic Con.
ventions seriously, it is n matter .of l;velv
speculation why they are not regularly
billed with highly eolored posters and
illuminated window pictures like any other
legitimate show, Tor surely all they need
to make them attractions on the road. ms

and canvas tent, and these could easily
be supplied at small outlay.

this made the work quite hard. At first
he was always ugly in his way, and told
me from the start while they were try
ing to get reprieve for him, it was use
less; that he and Leighton were to be
hung and no one cOnld stop it. He had
the habit of wearing his hair combed in
old style down the sides of his cheeks
between his eyes and ears, and some of
the illustrated papers took sketches of
him in this way and it made him look
bad, but after awhile got him to wear
it brushed back up off his forehead and
it made wonderful change for the bet
ter. He was shaved just two days before
being hung, and although he talked and
acted cOOlly and uncOncernedly, / kept
careful watch on my razor"
How do you regulate your charges
among these murderersP 81 charge
none less than fifty cents shave, and
all my bills / find paid because they are
made out to the Sheriff, who is very
nice man."
"DO you use the same razor on all
men," "Oh no, not at all. The razor
used on Cox, BalbO, Leighton and the
rest of those men only use on murder
ers. The one you see now bought es-
pecially to use on Cox. l use other ones
for lesser criminals. They never think
of asking who was shaved last with my
raZOrs."
De CaniO here stepped into the cell of
Lennon, the East Tenth street murderer
who cut his young wife into pieces, and
the reporter withdrew.
