The Canadians who are still berating the
government for the execution Of Riel will
desire to be informed why clemency has been
extended to Thebaw. 1t will, perhaps, be
difficult to make them understand why the
life of the half-breed who headed an insurrec-
ton should be demanded when that of a
cowardly heather, whose treachery imperiled
thousands of innocent persons, should be
spared. Justice as it is dispensed by those
high in authority, is not always understood
by the plain people, and the mysteries of
diplomacy they can never hope to grapple
with successfully.

What Killed Mr.. Hendricks?

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal.
Sundry editorials, interviews and communic..
tons, published in the Journal lead TO the CON.
victior that there is confusion in the public
mind and also in the minds of some medical
men, touching the immediate cause of the death
of Vice-president Hendricks
Part of the confusion doubtless arises from
carelessness in the use of language While a
layman can be excused for using the term paral
ysis to express loss Of function in any organ Of
the human body, physician is not entitled to
such leniency. The technical definition of parak
ysis, given by Dungllson, is abolition or grea,
dimnution of voluntary motions" All volunta.
ry motions are produced by muscles under the
control OF the will, and as the brain has no mus.
cles and the heart is not subject to the will ii
an offense against technical accuracy for ply.
stefan to speak OF paralysis Of either the brain or
heart
Having but slight personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Hendricks, and no direct professional obser.
walton of his recent or remote ailments, my di.
of his illness and death, complemented by a
similar knowledge of his condition when he lost
his toe and during the intermediate time.
From such distant stand point the testimony,
Is seen to converge with such convincing GER
talpty TO the conclusion as to leave no SHADOW Of
doubt that the immediate cause of the death OF
Vice president Hendricks was apoplexy, |, e., a
clot of blood in his brain from ruptured blood
vessel, already publicly stated by at least oDe
eminent physician.

Mrs. Hendricks's Remarkable Fortitude

indianapolis Special to st. Louis Republican.
Your correspondent talked tonight with Mrs
Hendricks She was apparently in good spirits,
and evidently had made up her mind to face the
future with all the courage Of her nature She
said she could not break up her home and 60
and live with others, as had been widely tele'
graphed; that she preferred to remain among
the scenes and surroundings made sacred TO
her by her husbands presence, and that she
had already determined to begin her struggle
with life as soon as it had dawned upon her
that the battle must be waged alone For
that reason, she remarked, she had sum.
moned all her energy to sit at the first meal
after his death in her sual place at the
family table, and had accomplished it. For TINS
reason, too, she received the members OF the
Cabinet, senators and other dignitaries from
Washington She said she knew that Mr.. Hem
bricks would have expected her to put aside her
grief and receive these gentlemen just as she
had done. She would allow no personal consio'
erations to dispute with her the line OF dnty 40
she understood it. The conversation tnen

An Electrical Counting Machine


The chief clerk of the Massachusetts,
state bureau of statistics, started to
make an instrument on which every
step in addition would be performed
mechanically without any puzzling side
rules, and he seems to have succeeded
perfectly. One movement brings any
single digit from one to nine into its
proper place; the instrument carries
automatically, and any digit may be
added to a number already down by
two motions of the hand. The power
of the electrical battery and the size of
the machine alone limits its capacity,
and its speed is from two to 81 times
that of the most expert accountant.
Amy one can learn to operate it in a
few minutes.
The record is shown on dials some
what in the same manner as on the
street car conductors registers, except
instead of making nine motions to reg
ister nine units, one movement only is
required, and the movement of the dials
is effected by electricity instead of by
cogs. The perfection of the devise is
such that on the machine in the census
Office, which has nine dals, the addi-
tion of one unit to the registered num-
Der 99Y, 999, J97 sets all the dials at
zero, 80 that if there was another dial
the record would be 1000, 900, 600.

How Dolly Madison Got Her Husband.
rCcr (govaland TaadarI

Dolly Madison, the brilliant and beau
tiful wife Of the fourth president,
rather imposed upon Mr.. Madison dur
ing their courtship, and the blind god
of love made him believe her to be much
more intellectual than she really was
He was in doubt, however, and deter
mined to test her. To do so he sent her
a semi philosophical book to read Just
as he was about to leave for Virginia,
and asked her to send him written
opinion of its merits after she had read
it. Madison, by the way, was at this
time a member of congress at Phila-
delphia, and he was boarding at the
home of his sweetheart, who was then a
buxom young widow, with her husband
hardly cold in his grave.
AS soon as ha had left for Virginia,
the sly Dolly took the book to Col.
Aaron Burr. She told him of her pre-
dicament, and got him to write the let
ter for her OF course, it was a master
piece, as Burr was one Of the most cult
ured aud scholarly men of his age. She
then mailed the letter to Madison at
Montpelier. He was delighted with the
wonderful intelligence it exhibited, and
he proposed instantly upon his return
to Philadelphia. She made an able wife
and entertained as well, If not better,
than any other presidents wife since
that time. The fashionable world went
wild over her beautiful dresses, and her
turbans alone cost over 81, 900 q year.

fCor. PhTadelrhia Times.

The natural bridge is one of those few
things that neither words nor painting
can adequately describe. 1t is q real
bridge of natures own architecture and
fashioning. and full lis the rarely united
qualities of massiveness, ruggedness
and boldness, and beauty, symmetry
and grace. 1t is composed of very dar~
blue limestone rock that in places, and
especially in moist or wet weather, Is
black, and is 2l5 feet in height from the
bed to the stream that flows be,ow 1T to
the surface of the arch.
In walking or driving along the road
that leads o er the bridge it would not
be noticed Just as the bridge is ap-
preached the road begins to ascend and
from the bridge it descends, but the
formation is so curious and the growth
of trees so thick that it is not possible
to look over the bridge or to see what
there is below. Aside from the wonder
and mystery attached to the processes
of nature that have worked this marvel
the principal interest OF the bridge lies
in the beauty of the arch. There are
no two points of view in which the
bridge looks alike and it is a curious
study to compare the hundreds of
photographs of it and see how very diff
ferent they are. The best view of the
bridge is afforded in the deep gorge be-
low It, where runs the stream which it
spans, which is known as Arbor Wit .
creek, receiving its name from the trees
that are so numerous.
There is not the slightest crack in the
bridge anywhere and it is as perfect a
work of art in stone as nature ever exc
cuted. The stone, which is the same az
the Isle la Motto marble from Lake
Champlain, aboundS in the vicinity and
most of the walks beyond the bridge
and above the stream are cut out of the
solid black rock The thickness of the
arch is fifty five feet and its average
width at the top is eighty feet. There
is always water flowing under the
bridge, sometimes more than others, and
the passage is usually over stones or 9
rocky ledge. The mostly accepted
theory of the arch is that it was w'rr
away gradually out OF the limestone
just as the numerous caves in the re
gion were formed.
