his elevation to the bench, no has honored
that exalted position, and his decisions will
bear the closest scrutiny and criticism OF
the most learned deciple Of Blackstone
now at the county bar. There is no Demo-
cratic candidate who has been mentioned as
his successor that is his equal in legal at
tainments, and his social characteristics are
Of the highest order.

dorse Judge Green for denomination.

PARIS, July 2S.-The double execution
Of young Berland and Dore was a most
exciting and horrible scene. When Der,
land was being taken to the guillotins
he fought the prison guards like an
inoAruRte demon, pounding, tearing and
scratching them every foot OF the way
from the condemned cell to where the
shadow of the great knife fell upon the
still struggling group. ,
Even after the miserable wretch had
been forced into a recumbent position
he made furious efforts to break away.
The united efforts Of three assistants
were necessary to hold the young MUIR
derer still long enough to permit Of the
eEecutioner doing his duty.
When the bl de finally rushed downs
ward It did so to send out of the world
one who left it shrieking, curslng and
struggling to the last.
Dore submitted quietly to his fate. y
Three hundred policemen on foot, $50
infantry and 100 mounted officers sur
rounded the guillotine.
No ooner had the heads of the MUIR
derers rolled into the basket than the
crowd surged forward and with a mighty
Il broke through the Gordon OF sol
diers and policemen stationed around
the guillotine.
An American who was anxious to see
an execution by the g|uillotine paid $400
for the use Of a window commanding a
good view Of the place.

PHILADELPmA, July Ex-senator Quay
Is expected to arrive in town to-day to
arrange for tho Meeting of the National
Republican Executive Committee, which
meets here tomorrow, and enough Of the
other members will be on hand, it is said,
to make n quorum.
Vice-Chairman Clarkson will arrive to-
night and Col. Dudley is already ION
the way. There is little business to
come before this meeting, the most i'm
portRnt matter being the probable resig-
nation Of Quay as chairman and the
selection of Clarkson as his successor.
1t is a fact that as yet none Of the poll
tioians know whether Quay really in
tends to drop out, and every one figures
it hat his chances Of doing so are just
even.
1t is known that Fassett, the New
York member; Dudley, New and Conger
favor his retention, and it may DO that
the committee will refuse his resignation
If it is offered.
A Republican very close to Senator
Quay says that If certain things happen
at the meeting he will retire, and if
these certain things do not happen he
will stick. What these Certain things"
are no one seems to know.

WORCESTER, Mass, July 29.-General
Draper, on his arrival here from Nara
gansett Pier, was asked about the sensa-
tional reports in reference to the Nara
gRnsett dinner. He did not consider
them worth discussing, "You may say,
however, that the dinner WAS not given
to any one in particular; being simply
an informal gathering of my personal
friends. Miss Winnie Davis was one of
the guests, and | took in Mrs. Carlisle,
wife of the Senator. There was nothing
unusual about II Ia any way"

his young head, which at that time, lacked

paper making. But g mighty change has

coming to this town, died or even got sick
over his coming, neither did one of the
Pottsville newspapers ever say an unkind
word of him. Now hat his old time

THE eight plate-glass factory in
America, with buildings covering five
and a half acres, is now being construct
ed at Irwin, Pa. Before the industry was
established in this country, plate glass
cost $2.25 a square foot. American
competition, under protection, has re-
duced the price to rs cents a foot, and
improved the quality. The new
works will give employment to 500

On the train the other day I overheard
two prominent Democrats discussing the
political situation. From their remarks,
and the inference to be drawn therefrom, it
seems quite probable, if not a foregone
conclusion, that the coming Democratic
convention will endorse Judge Green for
denomination. From a Republican stand
point l don't sec what difference it will
make, for there is no doubt of his election
if he secures the Republican nomination.
But why bring the judiciary into par
tisan politics.
Every fair-minded citizen, with the
probable exception Of the political office
holder, will agree with me that the quail
f~cstions of a candidate for the Judgeship
should not be estimated from a political
standpoint. There are other attainments
necessary, and which should influence the
citizen in summing up the qualifications of
a judicial candidate.

never been questioned, even by the men
who differ with him politically. But, on

The other day l was conversing with one
OF our most influential and prominent citi-
zens, whose opinion on most any subject of
public interest l hold in high esteem. Dur
ing the purse of our talk the members of
the w. Q. T. U. and its raid upon the
whiskey traffic was brought up, and the
gentleman in question proceeded to criti-
else its members very severely, and went
50 far as to style them AS altogether too ia
natical and visionary.
Now, this is all wrong. While 1 am not
a member of the Union, yet we must reeog-
nize the great fact that the women who
compose it are an earnest, generous and
philanthropic body, working in the best in
terest of society. They do not act upon
the theory Of the revivalisL, who drives re-
cruits into camp. No. Theirs are the
cslmor and more se~lfconviuoing methods,
and they'll win by these if the game is to
be won at all.

LONDON, July 2S.-In the House Of
Commons, upon the vote for the support

certain convicts under life sentence, and
especially John DAILY, ought to be par

He said there was every reason to believe
that DAILY was guiltless of having dynai
mite In his possession with intent to
cause an explosion.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Lib

any relaxation of Days punishment.
Home Secretary Matthews said that
the alleged proofs of Days innocence'
had been examined, and found to be in-
ventions. The sentence, therefore, must
stand.

mains that the noble work voluntarily ac-
cepted by these women is for our indi-
vidual good, Every criticl of the Union,

forced to acknowledge that he or she had
not gone into anything like a careful con-
sideration and examination of the theories

adelphia the other day, was one Of the
most intrepid of men. He once or
dered the king and cabinet Of Corea off
their own parade ground because they
tried to dictate to him concerning the
handling of the native troops. Capt.
Lee was employed by the Corean gov
m~nt as military instructor of the
army four years ago, and he knew his
business in every phase. With two
other American ofScers, who were en-
ployed with him in similar capacities,
he had charge of the army and gave it
thorough instruction, elevating it be-
yond the standard of even the Japanese
troops, the best drilled in the east.
Lee and his fellow officers didn't get
along together very well. The troops
liked him exceedingly, but on the day he
ordered the king and cabinet off the
parade grounds because they got in
the way there came near being re-
volt among them. Lee was inexora-
BILE, if polite, and the king and the cabi-
net left without a word of protest.
They always respected Lee for his ac-
ton and treated him with great cour-
tesy afterward.
