youngest looking so-year-old men in
public life, and when he is at home in
the marble-ribbed Green mountains of
Vermont he looks spry enough to drive
team to the corner grocery for fod-

is shoeing his oxen.

One day sat in a car scat on the

careworn lady, who was taking little
boy from Boston to Maiden. AS the
little boy was of a very inquiring mind

some of the questions.
''What is that, auntie?' the little boy
commenced, poin ting to stack of hay

''Oh, that's hay, DEAR" answered the

''What's hay, auntie?''
"Why. hay is hay, dear"

miles from shore) that he finds the
'Sapolio' in a sea-way is scrubber
but very leal1y." No better proof of his
GOODNESS and pluck could be given.
The start was made at 4:3O Wednes-
day, July Goth. the destination being
Palos. Spain. Capt. Andrews has in
structions to scour the seas until he
discovers that port and the starting
point of Columbus. It is believed that,
sailing in a fourteen foot boat without
SO much as c hot cup of coffee to vary
his diet OF biscuits and canned goods, he
will, single-handed. eclipse the record
OF that Spanish-Italian adventurer who
almost failed to cross the great ocean
with three ships, 100 mon. after secur-
ing the Queens jewels to pawn and
having the blessing Of the Church
thrown in. This Columbus is sailing in
boat which had never been in water
until the hour when he started on his
1000 mile trip. He has been spoken
In mid-ocean several times, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate
success. His effort should interest all
Americans as test of pluck, endurance
and good seamanship. That it is not a
3oolhardy affair is proved by his for
mer success and by the notable trip in
which he battled for sxty-two days
without reaching the other side Thou
sands of people saw the start, his pres
ence at different points on the ocean
has been noted by large numbers of
vessels, and his landing on the other
side will no doubt be made matter of
public demonstration and rejoicing. AS
he sailed from the pier he said, ':In
sixty days will be in Spain," and up
to the last reports he had made better
time than he anticipated. Every day
during the voyage a bottle will be
thrown overheard noting the location
and other information about the. trip.
If Capt Andrews succeeds in reach
ing Spain and joining in the October
celebrations which will be held in
honor of the discovery Of America, he
will then return in one Of the great
steamers and arrange to exhibit his
boat and the log which he writes up
day by day, at the Worlds Fair in Chi
caSo, where he will be one of the fea-
lures OF the magnificent display which
the manufacturers of Sapolio are now
perfecting. The assurance. we might
almost say the irnpudence. of these ag-
gressivc manufacturers in securing a
Columbus OF their own is probably with
out precedent in advertising.

There were 5000 people in and around

1t was expected that Halls friends,
who had exhausted every legal means
to secure Halls release or a mitigation
OF his sentence, would resort to vio-
lence, and guards wer" on duty around
she Jail and in the vicinity of the court
house all night. Outposts of three
men were stationed on each road
leading into the town, and every
man who came in was searched, and if
found to carry rifle or a pistol such
weapons were confiscated. The same
plan was followed all morning, and be-
fore II o'clock the guards were in pos
session of a sufficient number of weap-
ons to equip {; regiment A picket was
stationed in the tower of the court
house, with instructions if the out
posts got into trouble to notify the
regular guards. Strenuous attempt
was made during the night to keep
moonshine whisky out of town, but
despite the vigilance some of it was
distributed, and every drunken man
was promptly arrested. by 10 o'clock
Friday morning there were from 8, 900
to 1900 people in the village. But
there was no attempt to release Hall.

Sensational correspondents here have
credited Hall with ninety-nine mur-
ders, but of course this is an exaggera-
ton. His record is bloody enough,
however. He himself admits that the
number will reach five, not counting the
men he killed during the war. He was
in the confederate army and once said
that he killed six or seven men while in

were messmates who had disagreed

The particular crime for which Hall
was sentenced was the shooting of
Special Policeman Enos 3. Hylton, at
Norton, Va. Hylton was taking a pris-
oner to Jail, when Hall demanded that
he release the man, and upon the
! officers refusal shot him in cold
blood. Hall had eloped with Hylton's
sister after numbering her husband,
and Hylton is said to have sworn to kill
the man who murdered his brother-in-
law, and it is pretty certain that Hall
heard of it and took advantage of the
fact of Hylton having prisoner under
arrest to pick a quarrel with him and
kill him
