unconverted wilds of the East where
mugwumpery was born and tenderfeet
attained their highest state of sensitive
ness. came out to Albuquerque to visit
q friend. While walking along Rail-
road avenue he said to his friend:
There goes man met up at La

nunciation.
you mean La Hunta," the friend
replied "That is Spanish name. and
in that language j takes the sound
of h."
..Is that SOP Well, I must try to
catch onto that"
After strolling along a short distance
further he asked:
'WEere are those James, Springs,
of which see so much in the papers"
You should say Haymess Springs;
they are over here in the mountains
about sixty miles,
"Darn the language-it breaks me
all up. That's pretty nice house over
there-that's the Armijo house, isn't
it?" and again he gave the j its proper
pronunciation.
You mean the Armiho house; yes.
it's good one, too"
dam such q way of abusing the Eng
glish alphabet l reckon then. that
must be the Haffa Brothers store down
the street there?"
mo, that is not a Spanish name. L
think it is French. However. it is pro-
nounced as spelled"
"Well, how in Santa Fe is fellow
goin' to tell what's Spanish and what
isn'tP Why couldn't they build their
Language according to original plans?"
''Oh, you'll soon catch on. You will
find it safest to give the Spanish pro-
nunciation to nearly everything here"
An hour later they sat down at the
table of the San Felipe hotel, and after
scanning the bill of fare, the stranger
said to the waiter.
"You may bring me a nice juicy
piece of roast beef, some pigs howl
and caper sauce, some fricasseed hack
rabbit, some pork with apple helly,
some boiled potatoes with the hackets
on-unskun, you know-some tarts
with currant ja-I mean currant ham,
and, ah, some"
At this point the waiter swooned and
the guests in the room lei out roar Of
laughter that gave the chandeliers the
chills and fever. This made the stran-
ger mad and he leaped to his feet like
a crazy man, took off his coat and threw
it down on the floor and stamped on it
and howled:
"You fellers are trying to play me for
a sucker. but by the eternal you've
struck the wrong snag! Whoope! (and
he jumped up and slapped his fists) I'm a
destroying cyclone from Illinoy, an
kin lick the hull crowd! Spanish? kin
sling more Spanish in a holy minute
than Montezuma could in year! Kin

played me for a sucker but you mustn't

sound the hubilee. Somebody come
out and face me. Let some crow ga
loot come to the front and criticise my
Spanish hargon!
His friends got hold of him and took
him from the room, and as he went
through the door he remarked:
Il kin take hoke. but by Hupiter,
it makes me mad fur lot o. hackasses

1t was disgraceful to tax firemen. Exemp-
ton from taxes is about the only financial
recognition they get from government. He
had personally witnessed an instance after
the Central House fire, of what is COM

clothing destroyed at one fire than his taxes
three times would pay for. As TO the vol

BRIDGEPORT, CONN, June An Sep
TENDER last Philip Palladoni, for shooting
his brother, was convicted of murder in the
first degree, and by Judge Beardsly SEN
fenced to be hanged Friday, Oct. 5, 1888
He has been in the county Jail here ever
since. Soon after being committed he began
to display queer propenSities, the most
marked of which was that of standing for
hours at a time in his cell, both night and
day, in rigid attitude, with his head
thrown back and eyes uplifted, gazing stol
idly into vacancy Historical EXPLANATIONS
in Italian, in which appeals to the Deity and
calls for aid upon his departed relatives
were intermingled, have only broken these
fits of absorption. He would neither an
swer questions nor partake of food. These
and other evidences of a diseased mind ex
hibiting themselves frequently have led to
an examination of the case by eminent
physicians many Of whom declare Palla-
doni to be insane. Sheriff Garrison and
others believe the prisoner shamming.
Judge Lockwood, the counsel who defended
him during the trial, thinks otherwise, and
will take the case before the state board of
pardonS, which meets on Monday, June 4,
to have the death sentence commuted to
one Of life imprisonment The judges hope
of success before this board rests on the
matter of punctuation in the
statute covering cases like this,
wherein the location of a comma
renders the statute susceptible of meaning
that transfer may be made from the par
dons board to the legislature itself That
the board has no power to pardon in capital
cases is manifest; that the legislature, were
the case argued before it, might, and prob
ably could be induced to do so is equally
manifest. Counsel for the condemned will
ask the board to construe the passage in ac-
cordance with its intent, and to rule that
the comma appears in its present position
through the error of printer. Should it
be decided on Monday that the board have
power to either transfer or commute, new
question in criminal law will arise likely to
affect, through the comma, many cases
pending throughout the state, and of those
who are actually serving life sentences at

half dozen men near the table attracted
attention.
Come down here" several shouted,
heres man wants to embrace you"
Yes, sab; yes, sab; I'll be dab. Jus
wait till takes in this gentleman's money,
he shouted back
Hurry up; come down here; we're wait
ing for you," came the cries again, and
presently the perspiring and excited negro
descended from the table and made his way
to the ground.
A tall, stalwart, black haired man, with
the true southern SLOUGH clothes and hat,
confronted HIM with open arms, and in a
moment the two were locked in a genuine
hug. FAeir faces touched, but they did not
kiss. The crowd shouted, cheered, and
yelled delightedly at the spectacle. The
black bearded man seemed pleased and
proud, and his friends patted him on the
back and applauded him, but no one offered
to follow his example.
When dollars came slowly the negro an
nounced that quarters and halves would
pay for three and six months subscriptions,
and he got small coin enough to fill in ali
the chinks in his pocketful of dollars.
Afterward he was carried off to the Ken
lucky headquarters, and repeated his speech
there in the presence of Gov. Buckner and
other leading men. But prosperity had I'M
nerved him. He lacked the delicacy of
touch which had characterized his first
effort. He sprung his Public Educator too
quickly, and little clunsily. The gov
ernor and few others contributed dollars,
but it was paUromzingly, and not proudly.

COMMODORE DECATURs BODY.
"Over a quarter Of century after the
interment Of Commodore Decatur in the
vault at Kalorama, under the direction OF
Colonel Bomford, removed the remains to
Philadelphia. Commodore Decatur received
his death wound in a duel with Commodore
Barron in December. 1920. The fatal shot
entered the body on a line with the heart
but on the right side, and at the time Of his
decease it could not be found. When We
entered the vault we found that the top and
SIDES OF the coffin had completely decayed,
and the bones of the head were bare, but
the skin was like parchment drawn over the
frame. Col BOmford mentioned the fact
that the hall had not been found, and one
of the workmeu on the grounds placed his
finger in the hole in the breast and tried 10
find it, but failed. We then lifted the body
gently and laid it in new coffin, the body
being intact, excepting that one arm was
off. Col. B1mford seemed DESTROYS OF know

something fell from hole in the back, ana

She Carried Two Pistols.
FS'om the Pittsburq Dispatch.

FROM me fftlSOufq DtSpdtc1.
Since the epidemic of burglanes and high
way robberies broke out with such violence
in the East End, great many ladies', am
told, who reside in that otherwise favored
locality, have taken to pistols and pistol
practice. They not only have large bull
dog revolver stored handily in a bureau
drawer in their sleeping apartments, but
some of them, at least, also carry a gun in
a convenient pocket at their waist. The
pistol used as part of a street dress has to
be very small of course, but there is every
reason to suppose that it is likely to be dang
erous to the wearer, if not the footpad for
whose benefit il is worn.
Last night was talking about this fash
ion of fire arms for women's wear to a
lady who is rather disposed to criticiSe her
own sex. She laughed at the idea Of the
East End ladies' taxing to self-defence with
guns which are liable to 20 off and make a
horrid noise.
Besides said She 81 am pretty well as
sured that net one of those pistol. armed ladies
would ire pistol under any circumstances
remember shortly after the close OF the
war meeting young lady at a hotel in
Nashville, Tenn. The young lady was said
TO be strong-minded, and she assumed a
rather naughty style and loud voice when
she talked to me More than that, she
opened the jacket she wore and showed me
her belt, in which were stuck two small pis-
tolls
81 would like to see anybody insult meg
she said, as she left me TO go upstairs to
change her travelling dress before dinnor'n
81 went into dinner, aud had no sooner
seated myself than we heard the most APP
Railing screech, and a serious of ear-pierc-
ing screams coming from the upstairs re.
giou. The proprietor of the hotel, several
gentlemen, and all the walters ran upstairs
to see who had been murdered.
"They all came down again in few
minutes, to the last man laughing fit to kill
themselves.
ave begged TO be enlightened What was
the tragedyso mirthful in its iinalel Then
ii came out
"The Young lady with tho pistols had
seen or rather had a vague misgiving that
she might see a mouse. She was sure it had
run under the bed. The men found the
young amazon standing on tho bed with
pistol in each hand waiting for the first sign
of a mouse"

The Facts in the Case.

BLACKsHEAR, GA, June 7.-Editor
Morning Nel0S: My attention has been
called to paragraph in your issue of June
8, stating that P. L. Gregory, butcher, at
Blackshear, was horsewhipped Monday,
but the particulars had not been furnished
the press. This paragraph does me an in
justice. The facts are as follows: One w.
B. jenkins came here some weeks ago and
claimed to be from Emanuel county. He
stated to several parties here that he killed
a negro in Emanuel county and had tc
leave there. know nothing about this, or
about him.
On last Sunday morning, not Monday
as published, was sitting on the platform
at the depot, when jenkins walked up with
his buggy whip in his hand. Approaching
me, he drew his pistol, and, presenting it at
me, cut at me few times with his whip
and then turned, jumped in his buggy and
drove off, and has not been back yet. He
charged me with having written the author
tiles in Emanuel county of his whereabouts
which charge was absolutely false. This
constitutes the horse-whipping, and the
facts, as stated, can be verified by plenty
of eye witnesses. Respectfully,
p L. GREGORY
