INNOCENCE ON THE GALLoWS

1t is possible that innocent men have
been hung, and strange story is told by
Hiram Bowermaster, recently discharged
from the Western Penitentiary, of Penn
sylvania, as to the murder of Mrs. e.
Cready, a crime for which Silas Gray is
now under sentence of death. Bower
master swears that Jack Pettys, fellow
prisoner, confessed himself the author of
the crime for which Gray was tried, say
ing that he took that woman across the
mountain and made away with her."
subsequently Pettys hanged himself in
his cell, and Bowermaster asserts his be-
lief that the suicide was the result of re-
morse for killing Mrs McCready. Gov.
Pattison has difficult task to determine
whether the ex-convict is lying to save
Gray's neck, but he will doubtless order
new trial If Bowermaster gives any
probability to his story when he tells it
in the Governors office at Harrisburg.
The recent pardon granted to man who
spent more than quarter of century
in the Michigan State prison Cor the
murder Of Estabrook, wealthy bachelor
will aid Gray in his attempt to secure
new trial. Gov. Bcsole was convinced
Clman was innocent of the crime for which
he was condemned to life imprisonment,
Silas Harding, the real murderer. hav-
ing accused him of the deed through
malice. The most searching investiga-
tion must be made as to Bowermaster' S
story. in order that Silas Gray may not
die on the gallows if he is not guilty
The hanging of one innocent man would
create popular aversion to the gallows,
and the blundcring of one jury may do
irreparable injury to the cause of justice.

OUR COTTON CENTENNIAL

The celebration of the Tooth anniver-
sary of the first expectation of cotton
from the United States will occur in 1884,
at city yet to be named. The event
will be one of great interest in the whole
nation, and, indeed, in Europe. The
people of almost the whole civilized world
wear American cotton on their backs,
and the Old World purchases one-third
of the earth's annual crop of cotton in
the United States. Mighty has been
this product of the Southern fields, and
still mightier is it to become as con-
tributor to the country's wealth, for the
psople are beginning to understand that
1T is folly not to manufacture the crop at
home and thus double it's value. To en-
courage cotton manufacture and the uti-
lization of cotton seed, and to dissem-
mate information as to improved methods
OF cotton culture, the projected Cotton
Exposition will be an effective agent,
and it is wise to expand the scheme to the
proportions of an international enter
prise. 1t has been provided that the
President of the United States shall
make proclamation as to the opening and
closing of the fair, and invite foreign ma,
tions to send exhibits, which will be ad-
mitted free of duty. The medals to be
awarded will be struck at the United
States mints, and every State and Terri.
tory will be represented in the Board of
Commissioners. The charter provides
that the exposition shall be held undsr
the direction of the United States gov
ernment and the National Cotton Plan
ters' Association jointly, and thus far
the arrangements have been admirably
made. If the location chosen is good,
the Cotton Centennial of 1884 will be
even more successful than was the ex-
position at Atlanta. 1t is probably the
last international exhibition to be held
in America until the celebration of the
400th anniversary of the discovery of
America by Worlds Fair in New York
in 1892, and it ought t. be one of the
greatest enterprises of its kind in the
world history

UNIVERSAL WEATHER SIGNALS.

An excellent suggestion is made by
Mr.. ii. j. penrod, the author of uni
versal code of weather signals, as 10 the
distribution Of weather indications. AS
he says, a large class Of people interested
in the weather predictions cannot visit
the postoffices, telegraph officess, railway
stations and newspaper office where the
bulletins Of the Western Bureau are to
be seen, and system to promptly convey
the predictions to the people is needed.
Mr.. Penrod has devised code by which
the weather predictions may be signaled
on railway rains, steamboats, and stages
either by the use of figures or colored
discs, and in every town by the use of
flags, bells or cannon. 1t might be diff
cult to read figures on railway trains,
but large colored discs could be readily
distinguished, and their use to signal the
weather predictions might be great an
advantage to farmers, to whom the prog
nostications of the Weather Bureau sell
dom come until after their fultillment.
1t would also be difficult to understand
what weather to expect from the the fir
ing of cannon or ringing of bells for mis-
takes would be made as to the number of
guns fired or bells rung. But there
would be no difficulty in distinguishing
the color of flags displayed on tall staff
and that mode of signalling the weather
predictions would be very useful in all
the towns and villages having a tele-
graph. The people who, next to navi-
gators, most need TO know the the wealth
er predictions, are least able to obtain
them, and it would be a great benefit to
the rural population if weather signals
were carried by railway trains and dis
played from tlagstaffs in every telegraph

THE WANDERING JEW.

1t is an old and well-known theory
that the ancestors of the Indians of this
country came originally from Asia, were
descendants of the ten lost tribes of
Israel. This theory finds an unexpected
and hitherto unnoticed confirmation in
the name of the Apache chief who is now
entertaining large part of the United
States army in Arizona and the contig-
uous territory. 1t was not to be ex-
pected that the spelling should be exact
ly the same, but surely it is near enough
for all pathological purposes to establish
without any doubt the descent of the
person referred to from the Israelites.
If he is of the same blood as the rest OF
his tribe, it follows that they, too, are
children of Abraham. 1t will be remem-
bered, as confirmatory of this theory,
that Abraham himself was capable OF
conducting a foray with great general
ship and distinguished success. as wit
ness the manner in which he chased np
the our kings who had beaten the FIVE,

THE FOURTH CENTENNIAL OF
LUTHER,S BIRTHDAY

The four hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Martin Luther, the Reformer OF
the sixteenth century, will occur on Sat
urday, November 10th. Attention has
been already called to this fact, and it is
proposed to celebrate it appropriately
throughout the country. In New York
this will be done on large scale, with
accompanying address in English,
German and Swedish. In order, however,
to testify in the most marked manner to
the great value of the services of Luther
to mankind, subscriptions are being
taken for the purpose of securing an ex-
act counterpart of the famous statue OF
the Reformer, which was erected some
years since, at Worms in Germany
This. it is proposed to erect in the city
of Washington. Among other plans fol
the celebration in Brooklyn is the al,
rangement for an address by Carl Schurz,
on the evening of the anniversary, on
"Luther's Work and its Craftsmanship
