RUCH4NAN'S LOVE.
A Farmers Wife Who Might Have Been
Mistress of tho White House.

II
Mistress of the White House.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. ia few
weeks ago Letitia Bovee died few
miles from Lake City, Mimi, aged 97.
Letters and trinkets of hers have just
come to light which tell strangely
romantic story. She was born at Erie,
Pa, in 1890 and spent her childhood and
young womanhood there, her maiden
name being Duncan. President Bu-
chanan, while printers apprentice at
Erie, fell in love with her. His love
was not returned. When his offer of
marriage was declined he wrote the
following letter:
sMY DEAR LETITIA: shall never link
my fortunes with any one, my dearest
girl, unless they are with you. Your
fathers cruelty is measured by the depth
Of my pockets. l shall never marry,
Lefty, dearest, so fare thee we'll until
death. JAMES BUCHANAN"
Buchanan wrote other letters and gave
Miss Duncan a small open faced gold
watch. These relics are in the posses
sion of Mrs. Bovee's executors. Miss
Duncan loved a young naval officer
named Dan Turner, but her father
would not permit marriage. She re-
NAMED single until her old age, when
she was married to Minnesota farmer
named Boyee.

DEATH BY ELECTRICITY.
The New York Commission Favor the
Adjustment of Hanging.

Adjustment of Hanging.
New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE report Of the
commission appointed by the Legislature
in 1886 to report the most humane
and practical method known to
modern science of carrying into
effect the sentence of death in capital
cases has been transmitted to the Legis-
lature. 1t recommends killing the cul-
prits by electricity. The committee OBJ
jects to the guillotine, because of its use
IN the French revolution; the CARROT
does not do the work in a successful man
ner; shooting is too bloody and
too demoralizing, while hanging is too
cruel. The use of stimulants and drugs
is considered demoralizing and unsatis-
factory. In conclusion, the commission
reports in favor of electricity and
recommends that chair, with q
head and a foot rest, be used
in which the condemned man shall
be seated. One wire is to be connected
with the head-rest and the other with
the foot-rest which would be a metal
plate. The electric current could be sup
piled by electric light wires. The commits
sion recommends that the date Of the
execution be made uncertain so that the
criminal may not know what day he is
to die; and that the corpse go to the doc"
tors or to nameless grave without re-
ligious rites, and that the newspapers be
forbidden to describe the execution.

justify the hope that it will be success
full. The Pope, it says, cannot go beyond

icy of prudence and moderation, the
Irish question being an economic and
national one and not of religious nat.
