EDITOIkIAL NOTES.

England is doing pretty well with Cyprus. It has reduced the taxes formerly imposed by the Turkish government and expended liberal sums for education and various pub lie improvements and has ESQ, ,000 in the treasury to the credit of the Cyprus account. England pays Turkey e8S, ,000 per anr1um for the rental of the island, and before many years will be making clear profit out of the speculation besides greatly benefting the Cypriotes.
 In Paris, where the papers have inaugu- rated war on high prices for bread, and are driving the bakers to cheapen bread, several curious phases of the campaign have devel oped. In some places cooperative bakeries have been started, and some of the bakers threaten to strike and stop baking if the agi- tation is not stopped. The idea of a trades man striking against the public is regarded as new one and is bringing down on the bakers heads all of the phials of Parisian wit.

The most perfect and comprehensive ap- plication of electricity to lighting ships of war has been attained on board the British ironelad Colossus by the use of the Anglo American Brush system. The most remote parts of the vessel are illuminated, ineandes- cent lamps being used below decks and three powerful search lights and incandescent yard arm lights above. The interior illumination is effected by 150 lights of 20 and 240 lights of 10 candle power, the lights being manu- factured by the Brush company. At the re- cent trial at Portsmouth the three dynamos and engines were run continuously with a full load of 189 amperes and an electro mo- tive force equal to 80 volts. The dynamos rotated at the rate of 400 revolutions g min ute with 40 pounds pressure of steam.

death warrant was read to him. lie was
strictly temperate and refused all stimu-
Iants. At 9:15 the crowd of pass hold
ers began to surge into the Jail, joking
and chatting about the execution, in full
hearing of the man preparing for death
Fully $50 people were admitted. Ribald,
jokes and loud laughter while johnson
was engaged in prayer with his spiritual
adviser, caused him to shudder slightly,
but he prayed on. At 1905 the trap was
sprung and the culprit launched into
eternity.
HIS CRIME.
johnson was tWenty-three years of age.
and had served one term i'll the Peniten-
tiary. He became enamored of q women
living at Napoleon, who threatened to
marry rival unless he procured GER
tain sum of money by certain given
date. johnson learned that George w.
Williams, of Fulton County, Ohio, had sold
some property and went to his house on
the night of October Esd, 1883. He saw his
victim go to the barn to feed the horses.
and following him deliberately chopped
him down with an axe. He then re-
turned to the house and knocked at the
door which was opened by Mrs. Will
liams, who supposed it was her husband
returning from the barn. On seeing
johnson she screamed and ran, pursued
by the murderer, with the blood drip
ping from the AK She lied to an inner
room and begged piteously for her life
and that of her, little ix-weeks-old
babe, asleep in the bed, but ri to no pur-
pose. The murderer knocked her down
with the ak, and then buried it in her
head three times up to the helYe. He
then ransacked the house, obtaining only
about $50, and fed. Two days after he
was arrested on suspicion, on account of
some articles having been seen in his
belonging to the murdered
couple, and was subsequently tried and
convicted.
