The city of Paris has lately become the
possessor of a remarkable collection OF
documents, which will a great inter
est in years to come for historical investi-
gators. This was the series of death
warrants, extending from April I, 1903, tc
Dec. s, 1882, belonging to Samson, the no
torious headsman of the revolution. The
collection was bound up in nineteen vol
umes, and Samson had prefix.d to each
volume n summary of the contents. 1t
appears that during twenty. five years he
executed 7,l43 capital sentences, being an
average of 2l7 executions each year
rather a busy life. During the twenty
five years he only twice assembled the
scaffold without n fatal result-once in
1915, when Gen. Count Lavalette vas to
nave been executed for compl city in the
return of Napoleon. but escaped the
night before through the heroism Of his
wife. Tn second time was 1917. when

The cHANTILLY FOREST.
The Vast Hunting Grounds of the Exiied
Duo d'AumaIe.

The VAST Hunting Grounds of the Exiled
Duo d'AumaIe.
The Chantilly forest, covering nearly
1000 acres, is said to have within its
boundaries many hundreds of deer, be-
sides an enormous quantity of small
game. But it happens that the forest is
cut through in half a dozen directions by
public roads, along which are constantly
galloping the twelve or fifteen hundred
race horses always in training in the
neighborhood, and that this makes the
game exceedingly shy. 1t is. therefore.
considered far more difficult to hunt
successfully in Chantilly forest than in
any other OF the woods in the vicinity OF
Paris. The Due d'Aumale had such n
wonderful collection Of staghounds that
the hardest stag, it is said. could not
hold out against them for more thar five
hours; and if the animal lost his mead on
the start he would be run down in less
than an hour. After July of 1880 the
hunting stud and even the carriages of
the last prince of the house of Condo
were sold at auction, exactly as these OF
the Due d'Aumale have been. One rea-
son why the dukes dogs and horses
brought such moderate sums is that most
of the younger French sportsmen have
no idea of INDUCING in such difficult and
dangerous hunting as pleased'the Due
d'Aumale, and they realized that his
horses and hounds had been trained to
more stirring business than they cared
to undertake.
The Chantilly stables of the duke con-
faipal a. ,n,L ~ ata- L.,,I, 49, r..
hunting roe-bucks, and one for the boar
chase-a f~avorite amusement of the
Prince de Joinville. The stag hounds
numbered seventy. and among them
were several pure b.ooded ones known
as the blancs du roy. There were forty
fox hounds of the celebrated northern
race, and a dozen of the famous dogs Of
Patton.
On hunting days the pack was led by
four bl~oodhounds and a number of Pait-
erin bastards, whose airy speed was the
subject of admiring comment for miles
around. No matter how fast the stag
hounds might go, the ~bloodhounds in
variably took the lead, and were never
known to have lost it. Two of the
blancs du roy, named Nerbulo and Roy
ale, We're specially renowned for their
power of endurance. After an all-day's
run they were as fresh and lively rs at
carly morning, when all the others hung
head and lowered tail, and seemed
anxious for nothing save to regain their
kennels. In the boar pack there were
100 dogs, all perfectly trained. The
comical little beagles, twenty in number,
used for hunting the roe, were carried
away by the duke to England.-Boston

Magnetic Wells of Michigan,

Professor Jean Jarentski of Paris has
gone to inspect the magnetic wells Of
Michigan. The theory upon which he is
now at work Is that at some depth there
may be found a stratum of mineral which
is heavily charged with magneti C cleo
tricity. which may be brought to he sur
face and utiliz d. This theory has re-
ceived partial confirmation In the exist
ence OF magnetic wells in Europe and in
this country. AS those OF Michigan
are In n location which could be used, in
connection with the power, TO build man
ufactories, an essential which none OF
the others possess, II syndicate of French
men, believers in The theory, has sent
Prof. Jarentski here to experiment upon
the subtle force. The wells are now
flowing water from the depth OF eight
hundred feet so highly charged with cleo
tricity that a knife blade or steel bar
held in the water for a few moments be
comes highly magnetized. The waters
have become celebrated in the vicinity for
their healing power when used for nerv-
Gus diseases or debility. In connection
with their history is the story that while
hnd that the string of tools became mag
netized, and that n steel line used in
measuring the depth became charged,
and it was with difficulty that the well
was put down to the water. The profess
sor is confident IA at some point he can
find strata sufficiently charged to run
mills and factories independ.n Mt of steam
or other forces.=Boston Transcript.

THE Sun, as is natural under the cir

macher, and wants everybody else to fol

tackled something vigorously, perhaps it
was the 'bill'-if the bill had motives
to question. On a former occasion the
Sun said
There are in Cheyenne a number of
residents who havn't a dollar invested in
the city, but who own cattle in the country.
Among these gentlemen is the author OF
this "bill' (Nlr. Teschemachcr),
In its issue Of yesterday morning, the
same paper remarks
The gentleman, We are pleased to say,
has business and a home in Cheyenne,
and has come TO stay.
Perhaps the attack on-that is. of
course. on his "bill'-was merely designed
to make him invest 10 the city, and thus
qualify him for the Suns Appreciation.
No doubt Mr.. T~eschemacher Is compe.
tent for any task of legislation: nothing
worse has been said of him than the San
has charged, that he has advocated meas
ures maniiestly unfair and unjust, and
that he has done this from motives not
above suspicion. 1t does not follow that
the charge is true, or the Sun could not
have been rcconciled.

NOBODY insinuates hat Delegate Carey
made no effort to serve his constituents.
On the contrary, it is probable that he
honestly and earnestly did all in his power
to secure some practical and beneficial re-
suits, and failed through no fault of his
own. But he failed. and it is useless to
deny the fact. All vapid boasting of
effective service and magnificent record is
insufficient to conceal the truth. Should
he be re elected, he would probably fail
again. No doubt he worked as faithfully
to secure a fourth judge for Wyoming as
did Toole for Montana-at least such is
the inference from a letter to which the
SIM gave editorial prominence last March
did he succeed?

THE Republican platform has some
fine promises relative to the protection of
miners, which may lead them to doubt
whether or not it really was a Republican
governor who vetoed the coal weighing
bilR One thing, however, miners and all
other citizens in the employ of Others
may rest assured of, and that is that they
will be protected against any recurrence
OF the insolent and ALMOST open intimida
ton practiced by Republican bosses
in former years. If one is threatened
with discharge beforehand in order to in
fluence his vote, or subsequently ~discharg-
ed from employment, let him report such
palpable violation of plain law, and there
will be as speedy and sure a remedy found
as courts and juries can afford.

PUBLIC feeling is clearly against the use
Of money for the purchase OF votes. and
will evidently sustain any attempt on the
part oil a Democratic committee to punish
II 1t cannot prevent any recurrence of the
corrupt and criminal practice, observaut
vigilance on election day, and vigorous
prosecution afterwards. The present at
torney for the people could not effect
much. but capable assistance might be
secured; besides. in an election for dele.
gate the United States would come in and
take a hand. That this danger is no
fancied bugbear, there is the best reason
to believe. Only last April the Sun had
unquestionable proof Of attempts at brib-
cry by n party opposing the railroad
bonds, and deserved praise for d%enounc-
ing 80 prominent a member of its own
party. That journal may not be equally
vigilant, but it is not likely that the active
politician, then denounced by his "
party paper as dishonest. aud many more
beside will be less busy OH election day
and for days beforehand in purchasing
votes, because the election is general instead
Of being held for a special purpose. There
is one ccnsoling reflection: the voter who
is purchasable cannot be relied upon to
perform his contract. but will frequently
pocket his price and vote as he ~pleases,
after all.

lows
That the principles of the Democratic
party as enumerated in its platform
adopted by the national Democratic con
vention at Chicago on July 10, 1884, are
the rule and guide of our political faith
That we affirm the principle enumera-
ted in our national plotfofm, that the fed
eral officers in the territories should be
restricted to citizens previously resident
therein;
That we believe that the interests of our
territory demand a reorganization OF the
judicial and executive departments of our
territorial government;
That the growing interests OF our terri
tory demand increased facilities in our
mail service;
That we believe in nominating and
electing men to the different Offices wholly
upon the ground of principles, merit and
capability;
That we do hereby make a solemn pro-
test against the controlling influence Of
wealth In our elections, and pledge our
selves to do all in our power to discourage
and prevent the corrupt use of money in
this and all future elections;
That we demand the enactment of laws
providing for arbitration between EN-
p,oyrrs and employed. and to enforce the
decisions of the arbitrators;
That we demand the abrogation of all
laws that do not bear equally upon capital
and labor, and the removal of unjust tech
