SENTENCED TO HANG.


CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-At the close Of
Judge LOngbeCker's address in the Cronin
case yesterday afternoon Judge McCOn-
nell read the charge to the jury. In open
ing his instructions Judge Mcconnell told
them they were judges OF the law as well
as the facts III the case, and had right
to say that they knew the law better even
than the court itself, but before assuming
such solemn responsibility they should be
sure that they were not acting from caprice
or prejudice. After defining murder and
accessory and circumstantial evidence and
conspiracy, the Judge said, in regard to
Beggs, that it was not sufficient for them
to find that resolution was adopted for

in camp 20, February s, but it must
further appear beyond all reasonable
doubt that such a committee was ap-
pointed by Beggs, and in furtherance of
a conspiracy to commit murder. II the
jury believed any or all OF the defendants
had conspired to kill Cronin they were
guilty of murder, whether the identity
OF the sCtual murderer be established or
not. Whether Burke rented or furnished

Cronin was murdered there, vet they
would not be justified in concluding that
BURKE WAS A PARTY
to the alleged conspiracy, unless Burke's
acts were intended by him to assist ia the
murder. Same applied to Coughns act
in hiring Dinan's horse and to O'Sulli-
vans contract. The jury could not le-

chance and probability, and if, after care

The jury remained out all night and at
8 o'clock this morning came into court
An immense throng crowded the court
room, and when the foreman announced
the word equity" there was intense ex-
element. The verdict declares that

of murder in the first degree, with Riggs
and Kunze accessories. The first three

BLINDNESS IN HORSES.

Neglect and carelessness make more
blind horses than any other two things,
writes d. Atkinson, NJ. D., in the Wash
ington Star, and many u valuable horse
has been irretricvably injured by the
owner or his servant. The blinds or
blinkers on the bride frequently induce
blindness, or cause serious injuries to the
eyes. If not properly adjusted they ag-
gravate the horse, and in time causes seri-
Gus trouble. Some advocate the use of
open brides, but If proper blinkcrs are
used, and used as they ought to be, there
is no danger of eye trouble being caused
by them. Damp, dark stables are other
causes of defective cyesight in our ami
nal friends, which very few ever think
about. When snow Is on the ground in
the winter many horses have serious
shock given to their eyes II they are
taken from the dark stables right out into
the open light. A severe pain will shoot
into both eyes until the animal gets ac-
customed to the light ,and il this practice
is persisted in the horses eyesight will
become seriously impaired. Dampness
also affects tho eyes, and stables should
be guarded against this. Plenty of light,
and fresh, pure air should be allowed to
come into the stables at all hours of the
day, ,and the general health of the animal,
as we'll US his eyes, will be kept good.

alton Of affairs in Zanzibar and SAMOA,
fror; the expenditure of the peoples
mdaDy, from the thousand and one cub
jeces which touch the popular interest
about as deep as discussions on Greek
particles, to talk about the wants and
rights of the majority of London work
ers. That is coed, though nofso good
as It might bo. Tho House talked
much, but did nothing. It is, indeed,
capable of doing little. It'"is the
smaller elective institutions from which
the long lcoked-for dawn of hope from
the democracy will come-from the
Ground Rents Committee which is
about to inquire into the price-about
fifteen millions-which the people of
London pay for the privilege of work
ing in it, and to solve the problem as to
how the fruit of the aggregate toll Of
the great city can be appropriated to
the necessities Of the many instead Of
to the luxuries of the few.
There were plenty Of facts given yes
terday. But we don't want facts.
Facts crowd in on us. There ere
three hundred thousand Of the very
poor in London. That is normal
state. These people are never prop
erly housed, never properly fed, never
properly rested. After they leave
childhood they have no leisure. In tho
bad times they suffer actual starvation,
relieved by the charity of their neigh
bors. Out Of the half million inhabi-
tants of the Tower Hamlets, nearly
10000 are too poor to live. Twenty
shillings week is an average wage.
A fourth of this is spent in rent. At
least It's. 4d., as Mrs. Barnett shows,
ought, at the lowest figure, to be spent
on food. But if all that is spent, there
is only 3s. Sd. for the rent, instead of
5s., and there is nothing ng-positively
nothing-for Goals, clothes, boots, club
money, schooling, illness. That is the
normal condition; but loss of employ
ment is always q factor with the un-
skilled lsborer, who has often TO fight
daily battle for his daily bread, and
who because there are more people
in London every year, and tho land
lords take care that there shall be no
more land-must, before he can even
begin that struggle, pay 25 per cent.
premium to the land monopolist. This
is the London of to-day. What may
the London of tomorrow be-in o war,
under new commercial conditions, such
as may arise in the attempt to dimin-
ish tho cost of production and enhance
the price of the product-with less
work for the laborer and more for him
to. pay for his bread, his salt and his
coal? What prospect is this that

SEED CLOVER.

Seed clover is, year after ycsr, one D.
the most profitable crops of the far m,
where the conditions are favorable to Is
growth. The crop of the country is
never so large as to glut the market
The man who has to buy clover seed in
the spring invariably pays what seems
like stiff price. Not infrequently the
seed clover brings more than the first
crop cut for hay.
One reason (perhaps the principal
onc) why the crop of seed clover is SO
small, is that, as usually handled, it is
most disagreeable. Generally it is moved
away, as 1t is not thought possible to
keep 1t in stacks; and the wheat can bo
threshed out of the mows by the time
the seed clover is cut. There arc few
more disagrceable jobs than hulling
clover in the bar. The dust is sitting.
Men who suffer little Inconvenience III
threshing grain under cover, find that
their lungs and throats will not endure
the dust in the barn where clover is
hulled. Besides, every corner of the
barn is fouled. 1t is impossible to keep
the dust within bounds.
This objection is obviated when the
clover is stored in barracks, where IL may
be kept rs well rs in NOW. The bar
rack is simply roof, with the sides open.
Seed clover may also be kept in good
condition in stacks topped with timothy

PROTECTION FOR SORE SHOULDERS.

Cotton cloth well smearcd with pure
tallow, wrapped around the collar, is uu-
doubtedly an excellent preventive of sore
shoulders, but to oil tho collar inside
often enough to keep it soft is equally so,
and is much more quickly and easily
done. Be careful at the same time to
keep the collar perfectly clear of any hard
substance sticking to it, and see that the
collar fits nicely to the shoulders, and that
1t does so without being either too tight
or too loose. When the horse is brought
into the stable after being worked, if tho
least sweaty the collar should not be re-
moved till his hair is we'll dried under II.
Some persons, when their horses are kept
regularly at work, let them wear their
collars all the time-by night as we'll as
by day. They say this keeps their skin
tough, and it is not nearly SO likely to
become CALLED.

Lengthening Life OF Humanity.

1t is estimated that the life of humanity
has gained twenty-five per cent. all the
world over in the last fifty years. The
lowest average that has been calculated is
twenty.three years, which represents tho
life expectancy of the Soudanese; but
even this is high when it Is remembered
that in Geneva in the thirteenth century
fourteen years were oil that were allotted
to man. The United States census of
1850 shows that 2. AT per cent. of the per-
sons who died in the previous decade
were more than seventy years of age; in
1850 tho percentage was 7.54, and i'm
1880, 1t was 1926. The deaths of
adults have diminished in a continuous
ratio, SO that the proportion of infant
victims to the whole number of deaths is,,
constantly on, the Increase. In 1850.
1890 per cent. of TIE whole number Of
deaths were Of children less than one
year old; in 1860 the percentage was
20.74; in 1880 il was 1894. These

A FIsating.Island Wonder.

Situated high up in the main Rocky
Mountain divide, in the eastern part Of
Idaho, Just south of the botthdary line
between TINT Territory and Montana,
and few miles west Of the Yellowstone
National Park, is Henry LaRe, beau
tiful sheet Of crystal water, having an
area Of about forty square miles. The
contour Of the lake is oval, and the
wooded banks bear luxuriant growth
OF mountain grass. On o casual ex-
animation there appears to be no outlet
to this lake, but closer observation re-
veals small creek issuing from the
southwest side, which is the beginning
of the north fork of that mighty artery
Of the Northwest, Snake River. On
this luke, sometimes ON the north side
and sometimes to the southwark, or
wherever the breezes chance to bear
1t, is curious floating island. 1t is
about 300 feet in diameter and has for
its basis mat of roots, so dense as to
support large trees and a heavy thicket
Of underground. Decayed vegetation
adds to the thickness of tho mat, and
forms mold several feet in thickness.
On the edge of the floating forest, in
summer time, may be seen q luxuriant
growth Of bluejoint grass, the roots of
which form 80 compact a mass as to
support the weight of horse. Any
number Of men have no difficulty in
walking about on it. Farther back
among the trees one might build

just as solid and safe rs though there
were not 100 or 200 feet of water be-
meath. There is willow thicket near
the center of tho island, and scattered
among these willows and contiguous to
them are number of aspens and
dwarf pines. These catch the breezes
which float over the island and act like
sails on boat, and move the nearly
two acres of land hither and thither
over the forty square miles of water.
This shows why one may one day sec
the island on one side and the next on
the other side Of the lake. Henry Lake
is exceedingly picturesque. Around it
rise snow-capped peaks, among which
are some of the highest of the conti-
nent's backbone, partly covered with
verdue of forest and grass, and show
ing here and there formations of granite
and unique basaltic columns. During
the hunting season the waters swarm
with wild fowl. There are beaver,
too, and plenty of large game may be
had In the adjoining mountains. .-Vest

PEACH YELLOwS.

According to my observation, says
Josiah Hoopcs, in the New York Tribune,
the peach is less liable to disease under
high culture than when neglected, OF on
poor soil. On the principle that yellows
will appear under all conditions, many
growers give trees little or no attention,
depending upon one or two good crops
for profit before the disease attacks them.
This is opposed to systematic good cul-
ture, and to the careful orchardist Is
specially repulsivc. More than ono
scrupulously clean orchard Is to-day
and profit than their neglected competi-
tors. 1t has been asserted that by heavy
manuring and liberal applications of
potash in some convenient form, ycllows
will in measure be warded off ,on account
of the consequent strong healthy growth.
If cultivators generally would study the
practical part of the subject, and note the
conditions under which the disease ap-
pears, and is increased, they might render
valuable assistance. A prejudice formerly
existed against planting yellow -Aeshed
peaches, under the impression that they
were more easily contaminated, but more
extended experience disproyed this view.
The yellows is no respecter of varieties
or places. Where it finds proper con-
ditions for development there it operates,
and continues its work of destruction.
However, we can unite upon the heroic
rooting-out and burning of any infected
trees as soon rs the disease is discovered.
The malady may have been communicated
to other trees, but as diseased tree is
worthless, the sooner it is removed the
better.

POULTRY NOTES.

1t has been generally advised to keep
only pullets or year-old fowls for laying,
but have learned that three and four
year old fowls will lay as many eggs in n
year as younger ones. It has also been
thought for many years that broken oys-
ter and clam shells, If not necessary, were
beneficial to fowls whether laying or not,
and-some professional poultry keepers
to the contrary--I think they are, for my
fowls when let out go for the pile of;
shells and eat them as they would corn,,
and think II the shells were not of some'
service to them they would not do that,

Look at them now, and Mt once answer "No."
Think of a manhood with rum tainted breath,
Think Of it's end, and the terrible death.
Think of tho homes that now shadowed with

Think Of lone graves both unwept and un-

Hiding fond hopes that were fair as your

Think of the demon that turks I'm tho bowl,
Driving to ruin both body aud soul.
