HARRISON Ann rHE civil SERVICE.

HARRISON AND THE civic SERVICE.
T.. l.. GOdkin. editor Of the NJ
HOn, has something to say about
General Harrison and civil service
reform, In n late number OF the
New York JBdcpsnd"Bt. He thinks
the President elect will do more
for that cause than any Of his Re
publican predecessors aud, possibly,
more than President Cleveland.
Well there IL this AbObt IL: Neither
General Harrison or his party will
BE- hampered 10y fiambOyant pledges
of what they are going to do. And
the Presidsnt-elect will not enter
upon his duties by pretending to do
one thing and end up by doing
another. In other words he Will be
fair with his political friends and
foes ~ we'll. lie will not take the
people into his confidence today
only TO make them victims Of decep-
ton tomorrow. so far, We think,
rs General Harrison has or may
pledge himself he may be relied
upon for fulfilIment. lie will prove
a sincere and consistent executive.
We believe that nothing which has
Leen gained for genuine civil service
reform will be lost under Gen. Har-
rison; and that at the end Of his
term IL will not be referred to In
terms Of reProach because Of his in
depreciation and application Of the
principles which IL involves.

Brilliant Gathering of Alumni al the Annual Dinner.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Chauncey M. M.Depew,
 president of the New York Yale Alumni as-
 sociation, presided at the annual dinner of
 President Dwight of Yale was on his right
 and at the same table sat Rev. pr. Van Dyck representing Princeton. Among the one hundred and fftys@alumni present were ex- Speaker J. W. Husted, Major Bundy and Thomas Darling, class of '36. The banquet hall was handsomely decorated, Yale blue predoninating. The walls and chandeliers were hung with boating, base ball and other trophies won by Yale dur ing the past twenty years. Over MT. Depew's head was suspended with blue ribbon the football with which Yale defeated Princeton last fall Mir Depew was the first speaker. He said man had been found who knew how to direct university and his name was Timothy Dwight. (Ap- plause.) The graduate of thirty years ago could not enter the freshman class of today. Daughter and appleuse) There are two great institutions in this country-the United States government and Yale college One is struggling with surplus and the other is heroically struggling with deficit and still it manages to be the best college in the coun- try. MT. Depew also referred humorous1y to that beatifc vision of the New Haven girl, and said whenever the old Yale man re- turned to New Haven he still found the same girl radiant as ever. He also rejoiced in the present athletic status of Yale, saying that Columbia looked on and tried to imi- tate. Princeton applauded and despaired and Harvard congratulated and went home and kicked-but they did not kick hard enough at the right time.
 Dr. Dwight on rising heartily ap- that he was trying to become rival to Mr. sity wanted $2, 900. GOO. They had made a respectable beginning, but they wanted more and he wished to have those present consider the needs of the university seriously. The university was making gratifying progress and they hope to have it go steadily.
 Isaac H. Bromley of the class of '53 in the course of speech prophesied that Mir. Depew will year from now be the President-elect of the United States (applause). ''Thst is the first serious mention of your name, Mir. Depew." he added. ''I'll make you minister to the Sandwich Islands, " replied MT. Depew. '"Thanks," said Mir. Bromley, ''that's better than nothing.n
 Dr. Fisher cf the Theological seminary, James W. Husted, E. 0. Wetmore of Harvard and Rev. Dyckman also spoke briefly. There were no formal toasts. Letters of regret from Senator Evarts and Mayor Hewitt were received.

HIS Last Message ono of Love to HIS
 nEofErRr.

Mother.
 BOSTON, Jan. 20.-At exactly 9:23 this
 morning in the Middlesex jail at East Cam
 bridge James Edward Nowlin, for the murder of George E. Goldman, paid the death penalty.
 Early this morning crowd assembled about the jail, but only chosen few were admitted
 to the scene of the hanging. Sheriff Cushing, with three deputies, had charge of the execu- tion, and in many respects it was well car ried out. The trap was sprung at 9:23 and after very short struggle the body hanged motionless for twenty-five minutes, when it was cut down, delivered to Undertaken Runy, driven to Somerville and taken in charge by relatives.
 Nowlin's parting with his mother last ! evening was ffecting, but not so painful as would naturally be supposed. They gave evidence of firm nerves. They prayed to- gether for an hour, and when the sorrow | stricken mother lefs the jail about o'clock | last evening the last words of her son exhort ed her to bear up and be reconciled to the | sentence which fate had decreed.
 Nowlin talked freely with his keepers, Messrs. Gilman and Cutting, during the rest | of the night. He spoke fervently of his
 mother and asked many questions about the
 execution. He went to bed about midnight and slept soundly until o'clock.
 | Shortly before he arose, dressed himself carefully in clean clothes and at 2 bre ak ! fast, consisting of beefsteak, potatoes, rolls | and coffee, was served him, which he ate with 8 hearty relish. After the meal he sat | down and was engaged in reading his Bible when Rev. A. M: Osgeod, of Someryille, was 1 admitted to the cell. The minister prayed | with the young man, who expressed peni- | tence and sorrow for his crime. Nowlin's | eldest brother had short meeting at which 1 both were deeply moved. About o'clock l the condemned man was taken from his cell | to one in another part of the jail. In mak- ! ing the change he was obliged to pass the galIows, which he eyed critically
 but without tremor. Rev. J. F. Bartlett, of the Winter Hill Baptist church, then came in and prayed i with Nowlin. A few minutes later the pro- cession was formed and the march to the gallows taken up. The scene was quickly
 over and the boy met his doom without a finch. His last message was one of love to his mother.
 James Edward Dowlin, the youngest muT-
 derer ever hanged in Massachusetts, was em- ployed for two years by George E. Goldman, a Somerville milkmsn. January of last year Codman's remains were found strewn along l lonely road in the town of Lexington,
 Mass. The arms, legs and head had been
 chopped from the body and hid in different
 places along the road. Nowlin was immed-
 lately suspected and arrested. He confessed
 the crime, telling how he killed his employer
 by blow of an axe and then carried the dis membered parts in sleigh to Lexington. H. |, | was but seventeen years of age when he com
 mitted the crime. Goldman had about S60( on his person at the time of the tragedy, ant : the money was what Nowlin wanted.

To Bring About a Settlement of the
 Reading Strike.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-There is new scheme on foot to bring the miners strike to close. Ex-Asssmblyman Hines went to Pottsville to enforce the scheme, which is that all the strikers apply to the poor author ities for admission to the roorhouses. A big tax would have to be levied and the corpora tions would have to pay it. Hines thinks the operators rather than pay would bring the strike to a close.
 READING, Jan. .20-It is now nearly week since all the Reading company's and individ- ual collieries closed and careful estimate places the number of loaded coal cars which have left the Schuylkill regions during this time at 350 with no prospect of future ship ments until some of the mines resume. It is admitted the shipment of bituminous coal and coke from the West into the Schuylkill seriously affects the plans of the strikers. The Reading Knights of Labor as we l as the members of the order throughout this sec- tion who refused to strike are contributing liberally to sustain the miners.
