One of the speakers yesterday spoke of q
boy discharged from the reform school as
saying: II poured forth words in silent
thHnkfulness " 1t was u question in the
minds of the audience whether the boy had
been properly reformed.
There is one old gentleman who attends
every session Of the conference, and as reg

through interesting papers and pretty
sp eecheS by handsome ladies. Sometimes he
has company, too.
In one of the front seats yesterday sat q

she was rapidly recording the words of the
speakers by dextrous manipulation of the
keyboard.

PARDONING POWER.
An Eloquent Address by Ex-Gov.
George Headly of Ohio.

Ahed0Ay VI Oh1O.
The conference was called to order again
promptly at o'clock last evening and the
minutes of the morning session read by
Secretary Wright. The hall was packed
full, and when the president introduced ex-
Gov. Hoadly of Ohio there was prolonged
applause. Gov. Hoadly spoke for three
fourths of an hour on 1.-The Pardoning
Power" and was listened to with rapt at
tention and frequently interrupted by ap-
plause. Gov. Hoadly said
tis not my purpose to discuss the pardon
ing power broadly or historically, but to say
not deny that 1 approached the par
donlng power with prejudice. The
theory of pardon commends itself to my
Judgment as little as the practice. A care
full examination by a judicial board, with
power to grant leave of absence. would to
my mind be better than any pardoning
power. 1t is just as important 10 the state
to protect the innocent by couvicting the
guiltn as well as acquitting the Innocent
Very few public executive officers are fitted
by study to exercise this power There are
no books on the subject and no rules to he
followed. Therefore is the conviction preya-
lent among prisoners that pardoning
goes by favor. There is on
file in certain governors Office
correspondence. friend sought pardon for
two criminals. The governor gave him his
choice of one, as this would fill the quota! I

Mosquitoes That Kill Bears,


j. A. johnson, well-known mining ex-
pert. returned from Alaska few days ago.
Next to the rich ORE" said MI. johnson,
what I struck the most forclbly was the
mosquitoes. Why. sir, they kill the bears
Now it seems strange that mosquito could
kill bear, bnt this is the way it is done:
The bears come down from the hills into
the marsh-land to feed on berries-a sort
OF cranberry found there. AS soon as they
get comfortably to work the mosquitoes
attack them and go for their eyes. The
bears get up on their hind legs to fight
them off, and sink into the swamp. The
mosquitoes, which are of most extraordi-
nary size, keep at them until they are to-
tally blind, and then they have them COM
pletely at their mercy. have seen over a
dozen bear earcasses in those swamps posi-
lively killed by the mosquitoes"
