The recent hanging of two Hebrew
murderers at Wilkesbsrre, Pennsylvania.

Dr.. A. D. Wey, physician and director
of the Elmira reformatory. is making
some very interesting experiments in re-
forming criminals by gymnastic treat
ment. He holds that criminal acts are
not to large extent the result of malev-
olence, but are due to deficient moral
sense and irrational impulses. Bad en-
vironment, shiftless habits of life and poor
food, together with lack of physical train
ing lead to idleness aud ends in crime.

that within few months our regulars will

has but recently adjourned from Its final
session at springa cid, and Its report has
not yet been made public. General Soho

FROM t0c C6liioTniAn
1t was late whea Te let the Lick obser-
vstory aud began th- downward trip. 1t
was 20 dark thst 1 deter mined to ride
down as far a: Smiths, making the start
from there afresh in the morning. The
coach 1 happened to catch contained
party of Raymond e1cursionists, among
whom were several iooular gentlemen who
evidently considered the driver fair game.
The road down from the summit of Mt.
Hamilton is in ali probability tine finest
cut road In the world. but Ii Is steep,
abounds in sharp turns and terrific prsci-
pices, and is not a road one would select
to go down at full speed. Yet when the
four-in-hand turned down into the road
the driver spoke 10 the leaders and away
We went at a run.
SITS perfectly cafe" said the driver
you don't call th!s fast driving, do
your said a tourist who sat By me.
"Why, this is nothing Why dOn't You
stir them upT
The driver glanced at the speaker,
mashed his hat firmly on bis head, and
brought crack from his whip like the
report of a revolver, at which the horses
sprsng forward in q mad gsllop. Crack
came the whip again, and with a terrific
sway the heavy coach swung around the
curve and went tearing down the road.
Fitfui shrieks began to come from the Gin
Sides" and the tourist who had made the
remark was clinging to the rail with des-
peratIon and a face that looked white, yet
be said not a word.
Trees, spectral trunks, great oaks and
sycamores few by, clouds of dust rose and
hid the landscape SO that the horses seemed
rushing into O fog-bsnk. Over bridges
we went, the thunder of hoofs rising In
| the night with a weird and forbidding
/ sound The pace kept increasing; the
| horses were at a dead run, sweeping
round curves with frightful swing, now
/ coming up under the brake with q terrific
crash, then tearing msdly on in the wild
race for the lights of Smiths away below
In the gloom.
II the silent tourist on the box seat,
holding on for his life, was a lover of ma
| ture, he had q rare and rapidly passing
| panorama. Great trees with long branch
| ing arms reached out, seeming to intercept
| the road Gulfs of gloom opened up sud-
| denly as the cosch dashed around curves.

/ tinct, where on every side masses of YER
| dure made the night more impenetrsble-s
black gulf all about, down which they
seemed skurrying. On plunged the coach
i horses and driver seemingly gone mad.
/ Once only did the tourist draw q long
| sigh, and that was when the coach reared
at desperate curve and made the turn OF
two wheels. After plvoting around In I
remarkable manner, we rushed away in q
cloud of dust over the little bridge int
the blending and se.coms light of Smith

It seems the purpose of Postmaster Thomp-

cannot turn 1t back.
A Committee of the Lower House of the
Convoeation of Canterbury has just issued
an interesting report on the incomes of the
clergy of the Established church in Great
Britain. The figures have been compiled
from returns furnished by IL, 299 incum-
bents, being 80 per cent. of the whole num-
ber. The net income of each beneaee has
been arrived at by deduoting all necessary
outgoings-all outgoIngs, that is to say, as
to the payment of which the incumbent
has no option, charges which he Is com
PEELED by law to meet before he can begin
to reckon what he can call his income. 1t
appears that there are 5,552 bsneHces IN
England and Wales the net income of
which is less than 81, 900 a year, which is
held to be the very smallest income on
which clergyman can deoently maintain
themselves. The committee proposes to
create general relief fund for the whole
Church of England, administered by
committee sitting In London, on which all
the dioceses in England and Wales shall be
represented. 1t further recommends that
diocesan committees be appointed to raise
funds in eabh diocese, and consider the
applications for aid before they are sent up
to the central committee. The investment
of such a fund for the permanent endow-
ment of each benefce is declared to be not
practical at the present time. The relief
must be given in the shape of continuous
grants under proper conditions"

Oregon is one of the States that will
receive daily shipments of ripe fruit and
fresh vegetables in season to renew her
exhibits at the Worlds Fair. She is
now receiving cherries and Strawberries,
and the shipments have all come through
in fine condition, establishing the truth
of the statement that Oregon fruits are
good shippers. In that States exhibit
in the fisheries building one of the most
attractive displays of the whole fair has
been holding the crowds about the Ore
gon booth during the past few days.
This consisted of fresh royal chinook
salmon from the Columbia river. The
largest fish weighed eighty-two pounds,
and was the largest salmon ever caught
in the West. These fish were frozen in
side of solid cakes of ice before they left
the Coast, and they came through nicely
in that shape. They looked beauties
through the crystal ice.

ance of a red headed woodpecker will set
a whole lot of sparrows to flight, and the
only time they will face him is when he

Eccentric Diners in Paris Restaurants.

LCSeHtTlC DlheTs III EdFiS restaurants.
The Paris restaurants have wealth of
stories about eccentric diners. Prince
Soltykotf, according to the gossips, was
accustomed to consult the menus at two
of the most celebrated houses, choosing
that which had his favorite dishes. After
dining well he used to give the waiter in
structions to wake him in a couple of
hours, whereupon he would drop into
sound sleep, and hardly move until his
time was up
The Duke of Brunswick was frequent
customer at the house which often secured
the princes patronage. On one occasion,
it is said, Russian committed suicide at
table near where he was dining. The
nobleman consequently sent for the pro-
prietor and bitterly upbraided him for
allowing his digestion to be upset by So
tragic a scenel
1t was in the same restaurant that
number of gentlemen dined daily for forty
five years-a record which beats that of
the Grand hotel, of indianapolis, the pro-
prietor of which says that he had a boarder
who regularly paid his monthly bill for
sixteen years. london Tit Bits

An Old Style Sailboat.

Captain Collins, who is familiar with all
the builds of foreign fishing boats, tells
about the Newfoundland pinkie boat, some
few of which are still found off the New
England coast. For size and build, the
pinkie is clever boat, with her strong
sternpost and sharp bow. 1t is highly
probably that the pinkie is a survival OF
the oldest form of Morse boat brought to
England thousand years ago, and as for
that, the lines of the dory came over to
New England with the pinkie from the
mother country. York Times
