THE MAJESTY OF THE LAwi

The hangmen are having harvest. All

executions. Not paper can be picked up
but In its columns can be seen the account
Of at least four or five hargings. This ter
rible consequence, this mode Of legal ven-
geance now being visited with slch dread
certainty on all sides. is not confined to the
punishment for any one offense, but is
melted out for a whole catalogue Of crimes.
Murder, arson, burglary, rape, robbery and
al the miserable category of crimes have
Furnished ~ late their full quota Of victims
for The gallows. Not alone has Dublin been
enjoying this feast Of blood, but in every
section Of the world the law has been main
taing its majesty and upholdiDg its oig-
nifty By this fearful sacrifice OF human life,
this libation poured to the spirit Of offended
Justice. A few years ago the very reverse
was the case. an execution was an exception
10 the established order Of things, and moth.
Apg was made so lightly Of as the law and

Days OF tho Clipper Ship.

The fast. sailing clipper, Young Amor
Ica, which for thirty years has led the
| average records of the Pacific coast sail
ing vessels, is now at Portland, Oregon,
and the local tars recall the, exciting
times when the 80 days sail from San
Francisco to New York was q matter of
speculation and gambling. About ten
years ago the Young America reached
San Francisco, being 80 days from Liver
pool, and the fastest time on record, and
a few days later the British ship Esco-
cesa arrived with the next best record.
This led toa newspaper controversy in
which the relative merits of the ships was
freely canvasscd; and, finally, Theodore
II. Allen published n proposition to the
effect that, if both ships could leave San
Francisco within twenty-four hours of
each other, he would bet five thousand
dollars on the Young America, which
offer was taken. A furor of betting arose
which was never equalcd in the history
Of dccp-sca navigation. The Davy
Crockett was nearly ready for sea at the
same time, and pools were sold on the
three vessels, the Young America being
the favorite. On the 2Sth of February
the Escoccsa and Young America were
towcd out Of San Francisco within half q
mile OF each other. Tho wind, which
was very light, was from the west. The
British slip Patrician, which went out
just ahead of them, was caught in calm
and drftcd in upon the Potato Patch
reef, outside Point Bonita, where she
went to pieces. Next morning n bark
arrived from Batavia and reported huv-
ing met both ships. She met the Young
America forty-hvc miles off the Farra.
lones, and the Escoccsa three hours and
II half behind. This weather lasted some
days, and the Yankee ship never lost her
| advantage, but increased it to such an
| extent that she beat tho Escoccsa fivo
| ya:ls and the Davy Crockett eleven, al
though her time on this voyage was one
| hundred and eight days.

THE COUNTRY TAVERN.
Tho Difference Between That md the
Great City Hotel.

A country landlord tells Peck, of the
Milwaukee Sna, that every time he goes
to city hotel he declares that he will
not go again. He says" Here, when
traveller comes in, the starched and
roned clerk, simply hands him pen al
the register, taps bell and sends a boy
with the traveller up the elevator to q
room, and the business is over with.
without any words. With me, at my
motel mp home, it is SO different that YOU
wouldn't think, if you were there, that
IL was the same business. You take it
on cold night in winter and the scenes
around my camp fire are altogether
different from what you see here in this
cosy palace. When the train gets in.
that is about four hours late. and tho
two or three tired and chilled travellers
get into the office, and repister. and
huddle around the stove, and growl about
the poor fire, at the same time TELLING

porter for night and day work, and alI

"All the time the guests down in the

up, and wondering if there is a fire cs-

the facts are that the hotel is only two

each and every man up and dressed in

Dying With Their Boots On.

There Is class of individuals with
melo-dramatic notions of what consti-
sutes heroic aim in life. They are, for
the most part, men with very ill-deincd
notions of the rights Of other people. To
secure by any means, foul or fair, tho
money other men have done honest work
to earn, is considered by these heroes en-.
tirely legitimate To lie dead drunk in
q low groggery or in the gutter seems to
| them the very acme of human enjoy
| ment. But the very highest felicity to
which the real leaders of this class of he
roes can aspire is the privilege of dying,
as they so tersely express it, with their
boots on.
1t is needless to say that these So called
heroes nearly always have their ambi-
ton in this respect gratitied. jim Elliott,
ex-convlct, cX-prizc-fi8hter, ex-every-
thing that honest mon usually avoid, met
bigger coward and better shot than
himself a short time since. and made hi
exit in blaze Of rovolvcrs and glory
George Coylc, the oil region bruiser, who
was proud of the record of having
cleaned out all tho lesser bullies in that
lively corner of creation, undertook to
clean out grog shop to oblige friend
and got cleaned out himself for good and
all. What happened to these noted
roughs happens to nearly oil ofstheir
kind who don't die with dclirium tremcns
before the pistol or knife has had aseood
opportunity to get in their work Such
heroes seldom lingcr on this mortal stage
past middle life. An old hero of this
illI is as hard to find rs a needle in a hay-
stack. They usually die with their boots
on.
We're it not that there seems to be an
intcrminable crop of young fools who are
instantly recruited to fill the ranks of the
expiring heroes, they might we'll be dis
missed without further comment But
like the traditional housc-hy, who, when
killed, always has thousand to its
funeral, the dead bruiser finds any
amount of brainlcss imitntors. The dime
novel and cheap story-papcrs nre cducat-
| ing hundreds and thousands of addlc.
headed boys to seek their highest delight
III prizc-tights, cock-pits, low dance
houses. and general scenes of riot and
disorder This they call enjoying them
selves and seeing life. 1t is certainly Ell
ioymcnt of the very lowest order and not
mfrequcntly ends in death to its dcvotcc
with his boots on. A young man must
he hard up for an aim in life who can't
find n better one than that. -PhjIadck.

TOO MANY SALOONS.
Efforts of the Church Temperance Society
TO Make Them Fewer.

'"The fact is" said prominent mem
Der of the Church Temperance Society,
of New York City, call classes drink too
much. From the gilded saloons up
town and downtown, where costly works
of art hang on the walls, adorn the par
lors and make attractive the scene, to
the lowest dive i'll CHEEKY street or the
meancst hole i'll Chatham street, the les
son may be drawn. Who, for instance
could eXaggcrate the scenes born of in
temperate use of alleged wine in the
wine rooms of our great masquerade
balls There is not gin mill in the
city where drunken men are not manu-
facturcd daily. Murder, lust, disorder
OF all kinds find their inspiration at the
public bar, and it is intcmperatc use of
liquor at public bars which the society
hopes to stop. One particularly good
feature is the socicty's interest in the
boys OF to-dny-the men of tomorrow. !"
"But boys don't drink?
"Don't they, though? Go down town
and sec the boys from fourteen to nine
teen, clerks i'll Offices and stores, 0tlunCh
They not only drink, but the guzzlc.
Follow them to the theatre Mt night; see
where they go between the acts. Poison
ing the air with what in their gullibility
they call tobacco and stenching the
nelShborhood with their nasty cigarettes
they rush IN drovcS to the nearest gil
mill, drink their brandy. whisky or Kin
and sCltzcr, and take another 'stinl,
weed for their nerves. Perhaps they
don't consider themselves boys, but in
eye OF the law and common sense they
are boys 'all the same and very silly
boys at that.
''To meet tho case of these boys in
coachmcn's coats and toothpicli shoes
will be an earnest effort in the work of
the society, and, further than this, it will
take coGniHancr of the smaller boys who
also drink" .
"What! Smaller boys drink! Non,.
sense" tSt
"Iat us sec how much nonsons6'
there IS III the assertion. In the first re-
port put out by the Citizens Law and
Order League, of Massachusetts, it was
stated that nearly all dealers in intoxi-
eating liquors i'll the City of Boston sell
to minors to drink on the prcmisca. and
also to very little children to carry home.
In one saloon visited hy officers of the
society, twenty boys under fifteen were
found drinking, and in another thirty
boys between sixteen and eighteen. OF
thrty'slX cases of infringement of law
prosecuted within n few weeks. twenty
one were for selling drink to minors.
What future can he expected of these
boys, and what must the effect be upon
the little children who habitually meet
the sights and sounds of tho liquor sa,
looms when they go to fetch liquor for
their parents? 1t has been stated that
mnety-fivc per cent. of the vicious
youths of cur country come from homes
whore there has been excessive drinking,
and there is no reason TO doubt the truth
