stone cottage in Hartford, where
she is cared for by her daughters.
Notably active Of body, for her
years, she is ever on foot. and her
bent, slight figure, with its white
hair browning the dark, wrinkled
face, is a familiar sight in the
neighhorhood. She wanders in and
out, and is fond of slipping across
the street to the home Of her sis

The Coming Session.

General Catchings, of AIississip-
pi, who was member of the last
house committee on rules, in speak
ing of the legislation which win
occupy the attention of congress at
the special session this autumn,
said:
"The repeal of the Sherman act
and the reform of the tariff are two
great subjects with which we have
to deal. 1.-THE numerical strength
of the free silver vote is uncertain,
But it is certain many members
will oppose its repeal unless some
thing nearer to free coinage is of
cred, When the tariff debate
springs up, every protected indus
try in the country will have a re-
preventative on the floor With
the opposition SO strong, 1t will be
absolutely necessary to modify
rules, else nothing can be done.
it is nearly certain as anything,
and be that quite q considerable
change will be the results Of a con-
ference and past experience. Last
winter the committee on rules for
mulated provision which should
meet the case. 1t was to the effect
that it shall always be in order to
call up for consideration to report
from the committee on rules. The
rule declares that after report Of
the committee is made but one
motion to adjourn shall be enter
tanned. 1t will be as direct and
strong a method Of closure as can
be devised, and | have little doubt
of its adoption. By this course the
conduct of the business Of the house
will be placed entirely in the
hands of the majority. With re-
gard to the sentiment ofthe South
concerning the repeal of the Sher-
man act, | believe it is IN q formen-
tive state. Eighteen months ago
the South was strongly in favor Of
free coinage, but it is not so today.
| should say the sentiment is now
about half and half"

corbett Becoming Exclusive.

"Gentleman Jack" Corbett, who
with his wife is ensconced in a
suite at the Grand Pacific Hotel,
Chicago has been affected with the
hobby of exclusiveness. Corbett has
grown wonderfully discriminating
in the matter of receiving Critic,
the Australian, whom the Califor-
MIA club has offered to back against
all comers at his weight Critic
called on Corbett today, but the
champion was ''not in I" The
champion has hundreds ofcallers
daily, but like other great men
placed on the top rung Of the lad
der of fame he has come to make a
study of discrimination. In pri-
vate Corbett says he does not want
everybody tofeel at liberty to make
his acquaintance; and, going still
further, he does not want every
body with whom pugllism has
brought him in contact to presume
upon his friendship on that ac-
count.

Miniature Placer Mine.

Decidedly one of the most attract
i've exhibits of all the displays in
the very fascinating mining
building is the miniature placer
mine that is in daily operation
in the Oregon booth. Here the
curious people of all nations-and
more particularly those interested
in mining -congregate to witness
the operation of separating gold
from the sand, earth and gravel,
Just as tits brought from off the
bedrock Of a number Of the rich-
est placer mining properties of the
state. The process used is that in.
vogue wherever there is sufficient
force of water-hydraulic, The
mine in operation, while only a
miniature one, shows the entire
process quite accurately, and not
a day passes but the washings Of
gold amount to quite snug sum.
The gravel from the different
minesis is by turn heaped upon the
platform erected in representation
Of the side of hill or mountain.
Then the sluice boxes are arranged
and the force of the stream from
the hydraulic muzzle is turned on
and the mine is active, washing
out the virgin gold and congre-
eating it atthe rifles all the way
along down the sluice box, Thous-
ands witness this operation day
in and day out. The process Of
actual gold mining is new to them
and the superintendent are be-
sieged with questions, They are
also kept constantly on their guard,
for the relic hunter would make
quick work ofthe nuggets. Several
nice ones have already been stolen,
despite the vigilance Of the at
tendants. Mining men are all
interested in this exhibit, and they
are generous in their compliments
Of the hydaulic placer mine and
also of the entire exhibit.

THEY ARE HONORED
Monument to the Memory Of
the Five Anarchists
WHO WERE HANGED IN CHICAGO
And the Governor of Illinois psrdons
Fielden, Neebe and Schwab.

At Waldheim cemetry, where, in
November, 1887, the Haymarket
Anarchists were buried, a monu-
ment was unveiled Sunday. The
preparations for the dedication
have been on scale unprecedented
in anarchist affairs, and noted men
from America and Europe who
profess the radical views of the
Chicago groups, have been invited
to speak. Among those to whom
invitations have been sent are
Louise Mitchell and Prince Krapo-
tkine. 1t is believed that fifty
thousand people attended the
ceremonies at Walheim, which lies
about nine miles west Of Chicago
The men who lie buried are Par
sons, Spies, Engel, Fischer and
Lingg. One of the speeches to be
delivered by Mrs. Parsons, the
widow of the leader Of the. Anar-
chists The monument, designed
by Albert Weinert, is rectangular
plinth of granite upon a broad,
firm base, surmounted by an en-
tablature ornamented at the corners
by plain Ionic volutes. Directly
in front of the plinth upon a ped
etal is a heroic group in bronze,
the principal figure Of which is a
woman in an attitude of defiance.
Her head is thrown back in a fear
less manner and the face is full of
fire and determination. Her right
arm, with clenched hand, is crossed
upon her breast, and with her left
hand she is placing laurel wreath
upon the brow of peasant, who
lies dead behind her.
Bronze palm leaves are strewn
upon the base of the monument
at the feet Of the figure, and on the
lateral faces Of the plinth are
bronze medallion portraits of the
dead Anarchists. The inscription
is the last words of August Spies,
"Our silence will be more powerful
than our words can be-" The cor
nerstone of the monument was laid
last November.

They are Pardoned.

Governor Altgeld Monday par
doned Fielden, Neebe and Schwab,
anarchists who were serving life
sentences i'll the Joliet peniten-
tiary for completely in the Hay
market riot in Chicago May A,
1885, in which a large number Of
police were killed and wounded,
and for which Parsons, Spies and
others we're hanged and over whose
graves monument was unveiled
by Chicago anarchists Sunday.
After reviewing the history of
the Haymarket riot, the trial and
conviction Of the men, the COVER
nor says that the people who urged
for executive clemency based their
appeal on the ground Of assuming
that the prisoners were guilty, but
that they were punished enough,
but Others assert that the jury
which tried the case was packed
and according to the law the jurors
were not competent and the trial
was therefore not legal. Further
that the defendants were not proved
guilty of the charges in the indict-
ment and that the states attorney
declared that there was no case
against Neebe; that the trial judge
was either so prejudiced or else 20
determined to win the applause Of
a certain class that he did not
grant them fair trial. After re-
viewing these reasons, the COVER
nor says if the defendants had had
a fair trial there should be no exc
cutive interference in this case.
On the first proposition the gov
nor shows that the jury were not
selected in the usual way but men
were summoned who were known
to be prejudiced against the defen-
dants. On the indictment question
the governor says it is not known
who threw the bomb. He further
shows that the actual throwing
was probably an act of vengeance
by some one who has been NAL
treated by Police Captain Can
field. The governor also quotes
statement made by the then
Chief Police Ebersold, from which
it appears it is the policy ofa num-
Der Of police officials to stir up q
sentiment by largely exaggeratine
the number and activity of the
anarchists. Ebersold is quoted al
saying: II began to think there
was perhaps not SO much due tc
the anarchy business as they
claimed" The governor holds from
this that most Of the so-called con.
gpiracies were really mere creations
of police officers in search of glory
and reward by subsequently dis
covering them. AS to Neebe's in
nocence, the governor quotes from
a letter written by Mayor Harrison
in which it is shown that ther'
never was "a ~fsxY sI'lgarsa -ssss; ~

is stated that a steam shovel has
also been ordered for the purpose
Of getting sand gravel for the ce-
ment work. Two more concrete
mixers will be added to the two
they already have, thus giving
them capacity Of four hundred
barrels a day. As soon as tbs
water lowers two gangs will be put

Siberian Natives Make His Sinking I'M
possible and Then XIII Him.
Capt. E. j. Clifford, of the whaling
bark Triton, which arrived in port re-
Gently, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle, relates the particulars of an inter
esting whale hunt, of which he was
witness. The natives of that region
are people of low intelligence, their
chief employment being the capture OF
inhabitants of the waters that wash the
Siberian coast. These people have be-
come experts ia the vocation that fur
nishes them with the necessaries OF life.
The story as told by Capt. Clifford is as
follows:
1--WE had been laying at anchor for
several days in small and almost land
lock BAY, and had done some little trad
ing with the inhabitants of a village
about half mile inland. One morning
all hands were awakened by a great
hubbub on shore, the cause of which
was the presence of a school of sperm
whales three or four miles outside the
harbor. In short time ten canoes,
each containing from six to eight ma
tives, put of and made straight toward
where an occasional jet of water marked
the spot where the big fellows were
sporting.
81 was good deal puzzled to know
how those fellows were going to cap
ture one of those huge animals, which
is by no means an easy prey to the best
trained boats crew. supplied with all
the modern appliances. The boats kept
close together and approached the
school with great caution. When with
in about three hundred yards of the
nearest whale the canoes separated,
and as the big fellow came up to blow
they rapidly closed in from three sides
at once The whale by this time was
lazily rolling in the trough of the sea,
apparently unaware of the approach OF
his enemies. So well timed was the ap-
proach of the canoes that they were all
within easy reach of the whale when
the leader gave the signal to throw the
harpoons. In moment at least thirty
harpoons were sticking from the shiny
back of the whale, and the canoes shot
back out of reach of the big fulzes in
less time than it takes to tell it.
Sand here comes the strange part OF
the performance. Attached to each
harpoon were about two hundred feet
Of line, and on the endof each line were
reindeer skins inflated with air. In one
or two instances casks were attached to
the lines. You can imagine the situa-
ton. Here was the whale with enough
buoys attached to him to,foat ship,
and when he attempted to sound he
| would be brought to the surface again,
only to receive shower of hand lances
from the canoes. The sport did not
last long, and four hours from the time
the canoes left the beach they lowed
the whale in and men and women wers
at work cutting him up"

Women Librarians in tho south.

In nearly every southern state
woman is state librarian. The legisla-
ture of Mississippi has elected woman
to that position for the past twenty
years. In Kentucky and Tennessee for
almost as many years women have held
the Office at handsome salaries. The
secretary of state Of Tennessee, In
whose Office the librarian works, says
in private letter: "Since we have had
women in the Office they have not only
given satisfaction liz the work but
have rendered the Office where the
work is done far more comfortable and
attractive" South Carolina pays it's
librarian. a woman, $4,000 a year.
West Virginia has a woman as assistant
custodian of all public buildings, prop
erty, etc, and in that capacity she has
charge of the state library.

Suit of RattIesnake skins.

Peter Gruber, the rattlesnake king Of
Venango county, Pa, has had made the
most unique costume any man ever
wore. 1t consists of coat, vest, trou-
sers, hat, shoes and shirt, and is made
entirely of the skins of rattlesnaises.
Seven hundred snakes, all caught and
skinned by Gruber during the last five
years, provided the material for this
novel costume To preserve the bril-
liancy and flexibility of the skins in the
greatest possible degree the snakes
were skinned alive, first being made TN
conscious by chloroforn. They were
then tanned by method peculiar to
Gruber and are as soft and elastic az
wooden goods. The different articles
for this outfit were made by Oil City
tailors, shoemakers and matters, and the
aaata1u,aa is valued at $1,000.
