Marquette, ought to have done the
same The coroner begins his investiga

spared to find who is to blame.

OTTAWA Nov 80. The impression
prevails among the officers of the De-
parument of Justice that r. H. Nc
Greevy and o. E. Murphy can be ex-
uradited for the offenses with which
they are charged, viz, conspiracy and
false pretences. In the extradition
treaty between Great Britain aud the
United States, passed July IL, 1883,
and proclaimed on March 3d. 1890, there
is one paragraph which is Thought to
be applicable TO the case of either of
the accused, but IL is considered un-
likely that tho United States would
grant the evtaaIition, as the plea
would be set up that the paroles were
wanted for political oiIensas.

CoNcoED, N. H., Nov. 30 There is
not little excitement here over Sena-
tor Cnandlors letter from Washington,
n the case Of Murderer Almy, now
waiting the death penalty here. The
Senator's opinion that Almy has fair
ly good chance to cheat the gallows is
causing much discussion In his letter
be says:
"Our State has had two memorable
murder trials, those Of Sawtell aud
AL my, which have attracted attention
throughout the world. On the first, the
doors and windows were set wide open
and the lives of all the persons in at.
tendance were endangered as much as
was Sawtelrs. The two judges took
severe colds and narr owly escaped pneu.
monia, although they bought horse
blankets for themselves and the ury.
"The exposure to universal sickness
ordered by the Court was cruel and dis
graceful In the Almy trial the Same
was repeated. Every body's life was
periled by opening the doors and win
dows. am Informed that the windo ws
were entirely removed To cap the
climax Of absurdity, the prisoner was
removed to the State prison without the
sentence of death being announced to
him. and waited in prison week before
he knew It.
"Consider, o ye jurists, the spectacle
presented by New Hampshire. A Grim
/ inal under sentence of death for muir.
/ der, yet ignorant Of the fact. The law
yers of the nation have looked on wi IL
amazement, and nothing but the execra
tion in which Almy is universally hello
prevents an outcry Of the same from
any part of the Union New Hamp.
shire, by statute, or the arbitrary fiat oil
honorable judges, may have altered Z
fundamental principal of criminal law
/ have not examined the books. But
unless Almy's sentence is publicly an
nounced to him l do not see how, law
fully, he can be hanged, or even mucl
longer imprisoned The warden can
not hold him for trial, because he h a
already been tried. He cannot hold
him to hang him, because he has mo-
been sentenced. After awhile he will
be entitled to release on habeas corpus
and can 90 free.
"To prevent all questions he shoulC
be taken back into the courtroom, tn
doors should be closed against the wind
and frost and snow of winter, and h
should be sentence to death as the find
ing of the judges and law and decenc
requires and the people of New Hamp
shire should consider how to preven
such judicial anomalies hereafter as tn
State has exhibited twice in her rec en-
history"

A Now wItness in DE. eravs., Case.

CHICAGO, Nov. 80. The opinion of the
Denver public was about evenly divided
q week ago as regards the guilt or in
noceuce of DR.. Graves, but the belief in
his guilt is growing. John H. Conrad
last night remarked that much of the
important evidence in the case is yet
unknown to the public, and that it will
cause a great sensation when published.
From the tenor Of his remarks it Is be-
lieved that the Piukertons have secured
a new witness, who will testify aS to
having prepared the fatal dose.

A Clock That Sounds s.raps."

An alarm clock is usually used for
getting people up, not for sending them
to bed, but I know of at least ope au-
thentic case in which the latter end was
attained by it. A nervous, active wom-
an, who refused to take an afternoon
nap because she could "never think Of it
until it was too late," was astonished by
the gift of an alarm clock, with the dial
set exactly at 8. 1t sounded regular
summons to daily rest. Its imperative
call could not be disregarded, and in a
short time she found health and spirits
much improved by this fantastic use of
q familiar convenience.-Kate Fields

that none of the imported stock that
sell for fifteen cents straight up to dol
lar is left lying about subject to the hon.
esty of the customer. Perhaps the deal
ers have come to the conclusion that the
man who would have the courage to
smoke five cent cigar may be relied
upon as always able and willing to pay
for it whether watched or not.--New

Russian serxant Girls.

We have pleasant way of growing
and grumbling over the ineficiency of
our Mary AIMS and Elias, and consider
ourselves very badly used because they
do not come nearer the pinnacle of per-
lection, but the Russian servant double
discounts ours in vexatious incompe-
tency, and the Russian mistress has
trials beside which ours fade into insig-
nificance.
Every household has host Of retain
ers. They go off to sleep at any hour in
the day. They annex anything within
reach, and truth is an unknown virtue
to them. A lady cannot help about her
house or she loses all caste with and au-
thority over her servants. She can only
scold and wait for the spirit of the do
mestic to move her toward the accom-
plishment of her duties.
The servant is expected to provide her
own mattress, and usually sleeps on the
kitchen stove in winter and out in the
yard in summer. The idea of providing
q room for her servants never occurs to
the Russian housekeeper.-New York
