hard times, while the goldites, the trust

lDogs Can Talk.

A curious sight was witnessed one
afternoon on the wharf at Cincinnati.
y gentleman, accompanied by two
fine specimens of the water spaniel,
went down 10 the landing of the New
port ferry. at the foot of Lawrence
street. Somehow he became separated
from the CANNES, or rather they failed
TO follow him aboard. The boat had
got out in the stream, when the dogs
caught sight of their master and dis
covered he was fast leaving them.
Standing Oh the edge of the float, they
both set up a vigorous yelping. which
attracted the attention of the bystand-
ers.
Suddenly the older and larger dog
plunged into the river and began to
swim rapidly toward the Kentucky
shore. He had gone about 100 yards
when he seemed to become aware that
his brute companion had not followed.
Turning around, he SWAN back toward
the spot where the younger dog stood.
As he drew alongside the float he
made no effort to get aboard. The two
began TO bark at each other-to hold
an animated conversation i'm the dog
tongue, as it were. The older dog, as
he iloated by the side of the landing,
barked encouragement to the more
timid animal, and apparently was urg-
ing the latter TO jump into the water.
The barking duet lasted some minutes,
and then the younger dog, seemingly
convinced by his companions assur-
ance, grew bold, and suddenly bound
ed into the river.
The first dog gave a delighted yelp,
and, both turning their noses toward
Kentucky, began TO swim straight
across, side by side. Both continued
to bark until they reached the shore,
and could be heard on both sides Of
the river, The people on the ferry and
the Kentucky shore saw tle strange
race, and, with people on this side and
on the bridge, watched it TO the end.
The dogs landed opposite TO the bar
racks, where they were awaited by
their owner, who, with several other
gentlemen, had hurriedly walked
down the bank. There was no limit
to the delight of the two animals as
they rushed up to their master. The
river at hat point is nearly half a
mile wide. The action of the dogs
seemed to indicate that they had a Ian
guage of their own. and the paternal
manifestations of the elder brute were
most interesting to ee.-Cincinnati

Is Elecsrocntion q Failure i?

II is doubtful il electrocution had fair
and square test at Auburn, but the expert
nent in which KEMMI.ER was killed has so
shocked public sensibiities that il is proba-
bic the Legislature will repeal the law.
In the first place the dynamo was badly
operated, and the electrical pressure fiuc-
mated until at one time il ran down as
low as 500 volts, whereas 800 was desired.
Had KrMMLER not been docile and ac-
commodating prisoner great difficulty
would have been experienced in Aiming
the electrodes, but he seems TO have been
the most composed man present and
readily, if not cheerfully, rendered the Of
fcers valuable assistance. His head. how
ever, should have been shaved instead OF
cropped, so that the contact with the
flesh would have been perfect. Mr.. ED1-
SON saws there il no reason why the cur
rent should not be applied at the hands
since nearly all the persons killed by cleo
tricity come to their deaths by handling
wires.
And the blunder was made in turning
the current off SO quickly. DIR. SPrrzKA
thought KEMMLrR was dead-he dared not
feel his pulse-when he unfortunately
gave the signal to turn the current OIL.
Then respiration was renewed but there
is no evidence that the condemned suffer
ed any pain at all or regained conscious
ness.
Altogether the scene was one that shock
ed the stoutest nerves. 1t made such peo-
pie as coroners, lawyers, doctors and re-
porters FAINT
There is now a great cutlery against cleo
trocntion. The experience OF the day before
yesterday would be of great value IN future
but unless popular clamor dies out or the
Legislature refuses to hear 1t the death
penalty IN New York will in future be adj
ministered by means of the gallows and
not the death-chair.
Arope is effective and easily understood.
Electricity is a mystery, and demands ex-
pert operatives.

THEFeDERAL ELECTlON-LAW.
Senator Quay Being Interviewed Says 1t
Can't Pass This Session.

senator Quay Being Interviewed says III
Can't Pass This Session.
Washington correspondence New York Herald.
For some time rumors have been floating
around Washington that Senator Quay,
chairman of the National Republican
Committee, was opposed to the Federal
election bill and didn't care to see it be-
come a law. Various reasons are assigned
for his opposition to the bill. One is
that he thinks the measure an unwise
piece of legislation, one not calculated
10 strengthen the Republican party. He
is said TO regard il as poor politics TO
force through such an unpopular measure.
Others assert that the Senator has been In
fuenced against the bill by Republican
capitalists in Pennsylvania who have In
vested largely in the South. Senator Quay
himself is said 10 have interests of some
value in Florida. Whatever may be the
friends that he has no heart in the success
of the measure.
In view of these rumors called this eve
ming upon Senator Quay at his residence to
ascertain definitely from HIM his position
on the Infamous force bill. He received
me pleasantly, and in answer to the ques-
ton, "What is your attitude as to the force
bill =" he replied laughingly: TO begin,
let us call il the Federal election bill. That
Is tilt tNtpupilCdu ~
me appear in the Herald as speaking of il
AS a force bill. Well. i do not care to
discuss its merits as long as it is pending
before Republican caucus-you can
readily understand that. But as TO the
prospects Of its becoming law. will say
that in my opinion 1t cannot become a law
at this session of Congress. My reasons for
this assertion are these: The bill can never
pass the Senate this session without q
change of the rules by which debate can
be limited. No such change of the rules
can. in my opinion, be effected. This il
all care TO say at this time on the sub.
ject."
Ii is understood that Senator Quay has
received within the past few weeks null
titude of letters from all over the South
beseeching him as chairman of the Re
publican National Committee TO use HI:
influence TO prevent the enactment OF iegis
lation which his correspondents assure
him will undo all that the past twenty five
years have accomplished in celebrating
sectional animositIes and promoting fra
r.lat,npa
