Smyth again sentenced Drlseoll TO death,

ton, His counsel claimed to have new
evidence 10 the effect that Carrie Wilson,
q girl who witnessed the shooting, had nd
mitted that she sworc falsely in testifying
that Driscoll shot Beetle. Recorder Smyth
denied the motion made for new trial,
and the court Of appeals, to which appli-
cation was made last week, also denied the
motion. Executive clemency was sought,
but all that was obtained was respite Of
three days. Driscol clung to hope up to
three days ago, During his imprisonment
in the Tombs he turned deaf ear to the
priests and sisters who besought him to re-

days, since he became convinced that no

about the prophecies which came true. Their
elders smile pityingly. They remember when
they, too, tried spells and charms, with GER
tain foolish faith In them. And sometimes
they sigh as they look back over their own
lives.
October is grave, almost mournful,
month, fun OF an unspoken sadness and the
melancholy brightness of dying leaves It is
fitting that its last hours should be dedicated
to weird and strange fancies It has in it
some OF the warm splendors of the summer
and the dumb despair of the winter.
Dickens thus describes late October even

moment, and its glory was no more. The sun
went down beneath the long dark lines Of hills
and clouds, which piled up in the west an airy
city, wall heaped on wall, and battlement on bat
Element; the light was all withdrawn; the shining
church turned cold and dark; the stream forgot
TO smile; the birds were silent, and the gloom Of
winter dwelt on everything.
Everybody knows Burns poem, "Hallow-
Gen." which pictures the eve as it was and
probably still is on Scotch soil There are
books devoted to old customs and supersti-
lions which set forth the proper thing to do
on Halloween. The old fashioned almanac
paid some attention to this day and helped
out the young people by giving various
methods of their reading the future. The
modern almanac is too frequently stunted
thing, shorn of all information that would
be pleasing to romantic young souls.
Yet tradition will continue to dispense the
lore OF Halloween, the young will crack nuts,
pull up cabbages and try spells until the I'M
romantic realities come so thick and fast
upon them that they have no more hours for
happy foolishness.

very substantially and thoroughly built
from the concrete foundation to the top of
the handsome tower which adorns one cor
ner, looming 100 feet in the air.
According to the architects plans, the
building will consist of three stories, a base
ment, and the tower, from which will be
visible magnificent view of La Crosse and
the surrounding country. The walls of the
first two stories are of massive granite set
off by polished columns at the entrances and
windows. The upper stories are Of pressed
brick, relieved by freestone trimmings. TIE
interior is quite as attractive as the exterior,
being finished i'll hard wood and tile. The
building is absolutely ireproof, and conve-
niently located near the center of the city.
The structure will be occupied, when COM
pleted, by the postoffce, the internal revenue
and land departments, United States courts,
and the Offices Of the surveyor of customs.
Exclusive of the heating apparatus the build
ing contracts amount to S90, 900.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has agreed with itself that
again i'm the drummer tax question,
deciding for the second time that all
State laws imposing license tax upon
commercial travellers from outside of
the State are unconstitutional. The de-
cisson handed down yesterday was
upon case carried up from the State
Court of Texas. The Court held that
the Texas case was in no respect diff
erent from a former case carried up
from the Tennessee Courts, i'm which
n similar decision was renderd. This
second affirmation of the principle
that commercial legislation which dis
eliminates against the residents of 9TH
er States is in conflict with the clause
of the Constitution that gives Congress-
sole power to regulate interstate COM
nerce will probably bring to an end
all attempts on the part of the in
iividual States to make flesh of their
own drum mers ard fish of those OF
other States.

The Tobacco Chewing Habit.

There is one old time habit that used to be
widely prevalent in the United States, espe-
cially in the west and south-the tobacco
chewing habit-that has certainly declined
in the present generation. The manufac-
turers of chewing tobacco say that the trade in
it has not grown with the growth of our popu-
lation, but that in many states it is less than
half as large as it used to be before the war.
In the New England states it has become of
very slight account. We think all old time
New Workers will agree in saying that the
chewing habit has fallen off greatly in this
city and state, and that tar FEWER Worklngmen

greatest hold are Kentucky, Missouri, Ten.
nessee and Arkansas. 1t is an unwholesome
habit, offensive to ladies, and ought to dis
appear.-New York Sun.

In 17sS the great island of Australia-the
largest island of the world-began to be
opened up to civilization. One hundred
years have rolled round, and Australia is one
of England's greatest colonies. In Melbourne
last summer the Australians celebrated the
centennial of the settlement of the country,

were convicts, and Australia suffers to this
day from this fact
The event is celebrated by worlds fair,

THE GREAT CHIEF OF THE COLUMBIA.
"Great Chief of the Columbia River" and
attributed to it the most wonderful powers.
This great and curious rock, of which the ac-
companying cut is an excellent representa-
ton, undoubtedly served as model for the gil
gantic "totems' which the Indians used to
carve with wonderful patience from enormous
tree trunks. Like many objects Of worship
among uncivilized races, however, the Great
Chief of the Columbia River was not supposed
TO be altogether good in his intentions; on
the other hand his influence seems to have
been more generally regarded as baleful.
Among the traditions which chung round the
great rock was one to the effect that in a
moment Of anger at some terrible deed of a
gigantic chief of days SO far remote that no
one knew their chronological location, the
Great Spirit turned the refractory one into
stone and condemned his petrified figure to
forever breast the fury of the elements, an
eternal monument to the folly of mans OPP
posing his strength against that of the in

tober, is called Hallow even, or Halloween.
About it originally chung many poetical su-
perstitions, which have mostly degenerated
into burlesque. These had their origin in
Scotland, land Of the weird and uncanny.
At midnight certain incantations and charms
would disclose to her who performed them
her future matrimonial partner. And it was
also believed by the rustics that any one who
would watch in a church porch ON ALI Souls
night, the night following Halloween, would
see the ghosts of those who were doomed to
die in that parish within year. One by one
the grewsome procession would troop by to-
wards the graves. foreshadowing their last
trip to the churchyard. Many an over
curious maiden tried this dismal means of
learning something about the future, only to
be rewarded by the cruel pranks of the
youths who masqueraded as ghosts in order
to bring their sweethearts to terms.
Halloween has long taken on merry col
oring. In England arose the fashion of duck
ing for apples in a tub of water. Nuts were
named for the lasses and laddies and placed
in the front of the fire to see whom each
should marry.
Cabbages have always figured effectively in
Halloween practices. Why, it would be diff
cult to tell; just what occult power a cabbage
possesses mas never been denned; Out certain
it is that these innocuous plants usually have
rough time of it ON Halloween. In Scot
land the girls went forth at midnight and
each pulled cabbage from the earth. If it
came up without breaking and brought with
it a goodly portion of earth she would be
married within the year to husband of en-
viable wealth.
Superstitions change with the years. They
either grow in intensity or lapse into bur-
Iesque. The one pertaining to cabbage was
finally translated to mean that no thrifty
persons permitted their cabbages to stand in
the ground as late as the last day of October.
When any were found ungathered on this
particular night it was considered quite
proper to rebuke the carelessness and shift
lessness of their owners by pulling them up

M HUMAN FORM.

The Great Rock Chief Of the Co1umbia
River.
Towering high above the rushing waters Of
the Columbia river, on an island in the
stream at the place called He'll Gate, LOT
miles from Portland, Ore. and twenty-one
miles from the Dalles, great rock has
reared its nature sculptured head for count
less ages Its front presents most startling
resemblance to great, grim, human face,
and when the white man first trod the wild
region over which it keeps watch and ward,
the Indians who followed the chase there did
it awe struck reverence. They called it the

and throwing them at the doors Of said
owners.
This practice still obtains in villages and
towns which are blessed with lads who class
cabbage pulling and throwing as humor.
Certain other attempts at being funny are
INDUCED in by cabbage throwing brigades.
They think it enough TO set the whole town
roaring when they transfer the undertakers
sign board to the doctors Office. Hiding
gates and painting dragons on the minister's
house is also high order of mirth to them.
To put stuffed donkey at professors desk
or in the most iron clad preachers pulpit is
feat for which they will labor heroically
and consider themselves rewarded by the
anger and scandal it arouses.
Indeed. instead of being q hallowed or
holy cen the last evening of October has been
almost universally given over to pranks
quite the reverse of holy. Formerly, when
a belief in elves and witches existed, this was
the night on which they chose to go abroad
on baneful midnight errands. 1t was sup
posed that the fairies then held grand an
niversary, and fairies were always supposed
to be in sympathy with the young, particu-
larly with those who were in love.
Since witches and fairies have vanished
their Halloween tricks have been kept up by
able bodied fairies of full growth in strong
sympathy with the spirit of mischief sup
posed to belong to the little brown people.
