MORAL MURDERER.
stumseiIers Get "a Deserved Scoring at the
bar of Justice.


Judge Hubbard, of Nebraska, in
passing sentence upon some convicted
rumsellers recently, characterized in
vigorous terms their evil business. He
said:
There is something in the taking of
human life instantaneously that shocks
and terrifies the mind Of ALL and yet
we look upon that man who takes life
quite as surely but by slow, lingering
process, ii not without condemnation,
at least without horror You who
stand before the court for sentence are
in every moral sense murderers, and
you are IN the spirit, II not In the letter,
guilty OF manslaughter; so the law
says whoever aecelerates the death Of a
human being unlawfully is guilty Of
the crime. Your bloated victims upon
the witness-stand. and who undoubted-
~ committed perjury 70 screen you
from the law, not only abundantly tes-
tify that you are accelerating death,
but that you are inducing men to COM
init still greater crimes than your own.

OF responsibility, but how morally
leprous and scrofulous you are inward

Duncan Matheson, a Bible-reader to
the soldiers in the crimea, was return
ing one night to his lodgings in an old
stable. Sicl1ened by the sights he had
seen, and depressed with the
thought that the siege Of Sc
bastopol was likely to last for
months, he trudged along in the mud,
knee-deep. Happening to look up. he
saw tho stars shining calmly in the
clear sky. Weariness gave place to
the thought that in Heaven is rest, and
he began to sing aloud the old hymn:
How bright these glorious spirits shine,
Whence all their bright arrayf

was in soiled and ragged clothes, and

Piano Organs From London.

Piano organs are the latest form of musical torture that has been devised. The piano seems tu have fallen into dis repute in Europe. In London it is un- fashionable to play one of these instru- ments, and in Berlin there k a law against playing one with the windows of the house in which it is located open. The piano makers "f tho old world have therefore been looking for new field to exploit and they hit upon the piano or gan Lcndcn mokee them and is send ing hundreds of them all over the world They are taking tho places of hand or gans. h New York and eastern cities you can now hear in the streets as many piano organs, as they arc called, as you can hand organs. They aro not organs at all, but loud toned upright pianos that are mounted on wheels and can be trundled about easily.
 They may be heard several blocks away. Tho hand piano is fast displacing the hand organ in popular favor, but it hasn't the variety of music of the latter. Hand organs are made in this country. and when any new tune comes out it can soon be inserted in the organs roper tories, but the pianos have to be sent to London for any change or repairing that is necessary. In this respect, and in this only, the organs have the best of it.-St. Louis lObe-Democrat.

The Pluck ofthe Greyhound.

The sire of Fullerton, when running at Haydock park, struck hurdle. under meath which the hare had escaped, with such force as to fall back apparently dead, vet he afterward won the final course. Princess Dagmar, another Wat erloo cup winner, in running her first course. saw the dog against which she was contending drop dead at her side The hare also died just inside a covert into which it had escaped, yet the grey hound managed to win two more courses "a feat which speaks more for the cour- age of the animal than for the humanity of her owner.
 The lightning speed at which the courses are run and the quick turns of the hare on rough ground make severe falls, and even broken limbs, not un- common. Yet dog so injured will of ten try to renew the chase, falling again, yet making vain and painful efforts to avoid defeat. The type of courage so exhibited, individual" as distinguished from corporate" courage, is perhaps shown in its smost highly specialized form in the greyhound among dogs. The i'm pulse receives no aid from the associa- tion of other animals of the same kind. The dog which is slipped with the win ner is a rival, not a comrade.-London Spectator,

ELECTRIC CANALBOATS.
Test Is Being Made Today With Trolley
 Wires at Rochester.

ALBANY, Nov. 7.-Superintendent Han nan of the public works department says that today's trial of electricity as a motive power Cu the state canals has attracted at tention all over the country. The test Is being made at Rochester The plan that is being tested today provides for the use of trolley wires suspended on either side of the center of the waterway from poles erected along the banks.
 The electric current passes from these to a motor in the stern of the boat through flexible wires attached to travellers, which move on the upper side of the trolley. The flexible wires are placed on an automatic reel on the deck of the boat, from which they pay out and thus provide for the lat eral motion of the boat. The motor is at tached directly to the propeller shaft, and the whole equipment is said by experts who have examined it to be very compact and simple
 This Is the first application of electricity power tO the propulsion of commercial yes sels, although it has been very successfully applied to pleasure boats. The experiment tai canalboat Is christcued the Frank w Hawley of Rochester, in honor of the vice president of the Cataract General Electric company, under whose direction and su- pervision this first commercial application of electric power is made. The tests will be witnessed by Governor Flower, Comp troller Campbell, Superintendent Hannah, State Engineer Schenc! and several other state officers.

 Mir. Hayes, it is said, will have docu- mentary evidence to back up his charges before the general assembly today.
