Polite Death Minisfrants.

There were formerly as many ex-
ecutioners in France as there were
courts Of appeal, and each one was
called after the name Of the city where
his court was located-''M. de Paris"
M. de Lyon" etc. writes a Paris cor
respondent). Since 1872 there has
been only one chief headsman. The
license OF the last of the four genera
tons of Sansons was revoked in 1S47
for putting the guillotine in pawn one
day when he was short. His ucces-
o was Heindereich, who was trans
ferred from Amiens While San
son was a slovenly man. Helm
dereich looked like a gentleman.
He was six feet tall, with a cold, calm
air, a clear eye, and o his white
hair, whiskers and mustache cut close.
When he operated" be always had
on a dress suit and a white necktie.
After each execution he went 10 st.
Ambrose church and had mass said
for the man whom be had Just
launched into eternity. Heindereich
had a strong hand and an impera-
tive voice, and when he laid his
hand on the patients" shoulder
there was no possible chance OF
resistance. Heindereich perfected the
guillotine in several points and abol-
isbed the high platforms He died
in 1872, after fifty years service.
Roch, the next headsman, was q
jovial man. He was the son of an
executioner, and aided his father and
uncle, who was also de la partie, for
all the executioners belong more or
less intimately TO the same family
marrying and intermarrying among
themselves. Roch was of average
height, thick set, had gray side whisk-
ers and wore little gold rings in his
ear When he performed his official
duties he wore a frock coat and looked
like q workingman dressed out in Sun
day clothes. II was Roch who dis
covered the present plan'of binding
the criminals. 1T is for my personal
convenience that I invented that fash
ion. and no n rel complained" he
used TO say. . Roch was very proud OF
the guillotine and called il his Jewel"
When his duties summoned him AWAY
from Paris the first thing he did after
the guillotine had been dismantled
was 70 send a telegram 10 his wife,
telling her how the affair had passed
of, whether there was q large crowd,
and the hour she might expect his re-
turn. Mime. Roch had a high idea Of
her Observation-Disclosures skill. When
he died she exclaimed: For work
quickly and properly done, they will
never replace my poor dead husband"
Roch died in 1879.
Deibler, 'the present executioner, Is
o dark complexioned man of about
10, very gentle In his manners and
very uncommunicative. His greatest
dread Is the journalist This Is prob
ably because he has been frequently
cri6cised for want Of cleverness In ia
work. Although he has been an en-
ecutioner or assistant since 1858, he
has never acquitted the skill OF his pre-
decessors. DeibIer married the dauph.
ter Of the Algerian headsman, and
has two children. He lives in a mod
est apartment near the 81 Louis hos
pital, in a house adjoining the polics
headquarters Of the Tenth ward. The
executioDer receives q yearly salary Of
$1,000 and travelling expenses, and,
asa perquisite, his eldest son is exempt
from military service. New York

The Boston Transcript says: Ex-At-

ing deer in Arkansas for over a month.
A rather peculiar explanation is given for
this apparent disregard of the game laws.
The state owed him $4,000 for legal SER
vices, and although the bill was not dis
puted, the legislature failed to pass an
appropriation to meet the claim. Final
ly as a compromise measure the game law
was amended for his especial benefit so
as to allow deer shooting after August l.
All during last month Garland was chas-
ing deer, under the new law, and he says
ne is perfectly satisfied with the settle
ment OF his claim against the state.

A SECOND TIME THE DEMOCRATIC NO9II-
NEE FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY.
The III delegates of the New Jersey
Democratic state convention at Trenton
on September 10, were solid for ex-
Governor Leon Albeit for head of their
state ticket. The little Napoleon of
the Jersey Democracy swept the field
with cyclone of harmony, and he was
nominated with love feast of unanim-
ity to which the kick of the Hudson
county ''irreguiars was the sole ex-
Ueption and these subsidized before the
momentum of the Albeit column
which was rendered enthusiastic by
the recollection of their favOrite s
election in 1888. Leon Albeit
was born in Philadelphia, Pa where he
began the study of law with District At
torney Ashmead. Coming to New Jer-
sey in 1853 he formed a partnership with
w. j Fuller, rose rapidly in his profess
SION and became recognized as an au-
thority in municipal and constitutional
law. At various times he has been cor
poratiOn counsel for the cities of Union,
BaYonne and Hoboken, and for eight
years acted in that capacity for Jersey
City.
He has been a member of the assembly
during five terms of that body, and was
speaker of the house during two of them.
He has served one term in the New Jer-
sey senate and was made its presi-
dent. In 1877 Governor Mcclellan ap-
pointed Mr.. Albeit chairman of a COM
mission revise the municipal laws of New
Jersey, which task was performed with
signal ability. He has always been ac-
tive in politics and is an interchangeable
worker. Sixteen hours OF the twenty
four, he devotes to earnest labor, and
while he has given all the time he could
spare to politics, he has never allowed
them to keep him from the daily duties
at his office.
The ensuing canvass promises to be the
warmest known in New Jersey for some
years.

A WHITE MAN'8 GOVERNNENT.

4 WHITE MANS 60 FERNHENT.
In an article under the above heading
the following was printed in yesterdays
GAZETTE:
The man who dreams of a Hayti in any portion
of the Union is blind to the history of the world,
TO the cruel hopelessness of looking to a Demo-
cratic inferiority, and to the significant warning
of white cohesion in the refusal Of the white man
to admit to citizenship any other colored man
than the negro, and him only under the whip
and spur OF partisan triumph, partisan necessi-
ties and partisan malevolence.
Dominant inferiority - not Demo
cratic inferiority - was written and IN
tended. TIE GAZETTE was speaking of
white and colored. superior and inferior,
forces in government without reference
to or thought of partisan divisions. The
Lilly White' Republicans throughout
the South bear testimony to the fact that
white Republicans (who dc not hope for
Office through negro ascendency) re-
sent colored dominancy as much as white
contention was that when it comes to
a contest for government between the
white and any OTHER color, all white
men practically will join hands in re-
sisting the subordination of white TO
black, and the sooner black men are
made TO recognize this great racifI
truth, the sooner he will give over vain
aspirations and futile hopes that only
retard the advancement which is posi-
BILE to him.

JUDGE A. B. FLEMING, DECLARED ELECTED
BY THE COMMITTEE.
The legislative committee, which has
been IN session at Terra Alta, w. Va. !,
since May last, concluded its labors on
the 9th instant Gen. Golf, the Repub-
lican candidate for governor, had upon
the face of the returns an alleged major
ity of 10. There were $500 votes con-
tested, and the net gain made by Judge
Fleming, the Democratic candidate, is
1924, which makes the Democratic candi-
date, according to the committees re-
port and decision, pa ahead of Gen.
Golf. The committee adjourned on the
10th, subject to the call of the chairman.
Another session of about three weeks will
be held for the purpose of writing up the
report, which the committee say will be
ready about November l. When the re-
port is ready the governor viii convene
the legislature in extra session to pass
upon and to determine finally who is
elected governor of West Virginia. There
is little doubt but that the legislature
will confirm the report of the committee
and that Judge Fleming will be the next
governor of the state.
Born IN Marion county, Va, October
%, 1889, Judge Fleming abandoned the
plow and the hoe in 1859, when he studied
law, and finally in 1862 returned to his
native county, where he was sent to the
legislature in 1871, and succeeded Judge
Lewis on the circuit court bench in 1873.

fore that party should not attempt to

which it has taken through Secretary
Noble was forced. The people had more

of his reckless squandering Of money

ton, his impudence, his vulgarity
The pace he set at the beginning of his
incumbencY was too fast to last. No po-
litical organization on earth could afford
to retain in office so senseless, cautiOnless,
incessant and defiant a lOOter. The
stomach OF the country rebelled against
him. IT Is a strong, digestive organ,

These exhibits are of great benefit to the
respective sections in more ways than
one. In the first place they stimulate
rivalry among neighbors in the raising Of
various products, and this rivalry has the
effect of increasing interest in improved
stock and the most approved modes of
cultivating the soil. Then, again, these
fairs bring together the best products of
their counties and sections, where they
are arranged in convenient form for the
inspection of those who are on the look
out for homes and farms in the most
promising portions of the country. A
number of these fairs have already been
mentioned in these columns-those at
Jacksboro, Dublin, San Angelo,
Brownwood aud Abilene-and now
comes another claiming attention.
This is the grange fair, to be held at
McGregOr, October to "A, inclusive.
The premium list is long, embracing
almost every farm product, either ami
imal or vegetable, and the prizes Of
fered are very liberal. McGregor lies
in the heart of the rich black land re-
gion, and it will be surprising indeed
if the farmers of that fertile section do
not make some most excellent exhibits.
The exhibits, however, are not to be
confined TO any particular section, and
articles from any portion of the state
will be entered for competi ton. The
outlook is promising and the fair will
doubtless be a gratifying success.
