HANGED HIS OWN FATHER.
remarkable Scene IN u Gaiiows In tho
State of Washington.

"' " '''''NN :" WV
State of Washington.
IL was II strange meeting of father
and son on the occasion of the hanging
of old Bill Stcbbins for tho murder of
his second wife ut Spokane, says the
Review of that city. The murder was
atrocious, the people said, and there
were few glanccs of sympathy for the
doomed man among the morbidly
curious starcs of the little crowd that
filled the Jail yard.
The shcrif's deputies had attended
TO the details. The trap was set ready
to be sprung and in an instant send n
man into the great beyond. The
moose had been made carefully of the
best hemp rope, creased with tallow
for that occasion. The procession had
moved ny the steps e. the platform.
With busincssli!ic dignity the sheriff,
| who had been notified, stepped from
his office, crossed the courtyard, and
mounted the scaifoli with the death
warrant In his hand lie read the doc
ument In n calm voice, as one would %
notice of n sherif's sale.
"And now, SIR" he said, turning TO
the condemned man, you are ut lib
crty TO speak IL there Is anything on
your mind"
Throughout his trial. In the dark
hours after his sentence, though the
last night of life, and while viewing
c%uriously from his cell the rays of the
last sunrise he would ever see on earth.
the victim of the law had been stoical-
ly sullen. Emotion had never shown
itself in his face. lie had taken his
fate philosophically from the first,
making no defense, saying nothing
when the stern judge had given him
an opportunity to before passing sem
tcncc. Few noticed it, but II seemed
as II n tear glistcncd in his eye then.
Addressing himself to the sheriff, ho
said in n suppressed tone:
won't you shake hands, my boy,
before l go?"
The sheriff did not hear him, or IL
he did no n could have told It.. lilo
was still the businessliSe executive Of
ficer of the county in which he lived;
nothing moro.
81 know | didn't treat you right
the condemned man continued, show
ing q trace of excitement, NOR did
your mother either, but n word of com
fort to u nan that's going to die isn't
much. Won't you say something's"
Twenty years of battling with tho
world on his own hook had hardened
the shcritf's heart. Silently he mo
toned the assistants to buckle the
straps, adjust the cap and fix the
moose.
Then with steady hand and unwav
cring countcnancc he pressed the but
ton and sent his father into eternity.

BRAINS NEEDED IN BURGLARY.
Much Time and Labor Expended When
the Prospective Booty IL worth While.

~ ~
Few people have an idea of the i'm.
mensc amount Of labor, forctllought
and scientific skill brought to bear on
a big burglary, says a writer In the
New York Recorder. The first thing
necessary is to find a house containing
sufficient valuableS to repay the
trouble and risk. and this first stcp
alone may take many weeks. Let IL
be understood that only the highest
class of expert burglars are meant;
men with comfortable banking ac-
counts and houses of their own, and
who, after reducing the risk TO n mini
mum by elaborate plans, acquire
enough in n night to keep them in
afluencc and eminent responsibility
for more than Il year, although having
but a third share, as these burglaries
are invariably worked by three.
To illustrate the wonderful
and lcisurcly way of proceeding adopt
ed by burglars take n case related by n
prominent detective. Tho principal
of the burglars In this instance hav-
ing fixed on n certain house, was una
bic to acquire sufficient information
concerning IL and the wners. This
man then went to the local butte her
supplying the house and applied for q
situation as driver of ono of his carts
which delivered meat at customers
residences. After producing unques-
tionablc references (how obtained no
II ever knew the a was engaged
on the round, which included the house
fixed upon. Incredible as IL may APP
pear, he stayed with his employer for
owe seven months, and gave the ut
most satisfaction; his only failing be-
ing n weakness for chatting with the
servants. Five days after his resigna-
ton n gigantic burglary was effected
at the house selected, and property
valued at over $4,000 was stolen. The
thieves had smoked several cigars and
drank q bottle of port, so that they
were in nc hurry, and, to crown all, the
booty was conveyed to its destination
in tie owners pony phacton, which
was duly returned the same night; but
no real clcw was afforded, and the bur-
glars were never captured.
On another occasion a chambcrmaid
was escorted out, with n view to matri-
mony land burglary, for two months
before the event came off. A convey
ancc is always at hand, and generally
of stylish appearance; in fact, on one
occasion n brougham was used, which
the passers-by, and even the policeman
on the beat, imagined was the proper.
~ Of one of the residents close by. AS
regards tools, very few arc necessary,
owing to the skill and ingenuity of the
operator. With n jimmy, ~sprcader,
drill, Il few pieces of strong bent wire
and a little g%unpowder, the expert bur
glar can make his way anywhere,
To these arc sometimes added n SET
of 'stumblers." These are lengths OF
fine steel wire, with pointed stakes
about n foot long attached to each end
and half a dozen of these make but
little bulk. These stumblcrs are fixed
on the lawn or paths about the house
in such a way that the wires are raised
about six inches from the ground, and
prove such a success in case of pursuit
that the burglars are compelled &c
hang pieces of white paper from the
wires in order to escape their owr
traps, as they always run over them.

Russian Women Who Smoke.

So fond are Russian women of smok-
ing that the cars minister of the in
terror has ordered the railway officials
in the empire to provide passenger
trains with smoking compartments for
the use of the fair sex. 1t is said on
good authority that nearly all parried
women I'm Russia smoke cigarettes,
and that the habit has begun to obtain
largely among the unmarried, with
the result that smoking cars are now
as much of n necessity for travelling

Convention of American ship Canal Pro-
moters at Washington.

moterS AZ w aBulnKtons
WASHINGTON, Jan. PA convention
of representatives OF commercial bodies
and lake interests of the country, called
by the Duluth chamber of commerce to
organize movement in support OF the
scheme to unite the Great lakes and the
Atlantic ocean by ship canal through
United States territory, met here today.
Between rs and 100 were present. w.
r. Baldwin, president of the Duluth
chamber of commerce, was made tenn
porary chairman. After some speech
making committees on credentials and
permanent organization we're appointed
and recess taken till afternoon.
At the afternoon session number OF
addresses ere made. among them one
by George h. Ely of Cleveland, who ad-
vised that for the present the conven-
tion confine itself to declaration in
favor of an appropriation by congress to
make survey of routes for the canal. .
Speaking of the extent of internal
improvements in this country, Ely said
the impression prevailed that the
United States expended more than any
other nation. AS matter of fact, he
said, there had been expended, all told,
by the national and state governments
from 1887 to 1890, for the improvement
of rivers, harbors and building canals,
less than $3.50. 100000. France had ex-
pended over $500, ,000. 900, with nothing
like the expectation of permanent bene-
fit that promises to the United States.
The committe on permanent organlza'
tion reported, recommending the fol
lowing officers: President, George d.
Ely of Ohio: vice. presidents, G. W. Os-
good of Vermont and William A.
Sweet of New York, with an honor
airy vice-president from each state; Sec
retary, S. A. Thompson of Minneapolis.
Ely stated his platform to be in favor
of water way from the lakes to the sea
over territory of the United States, and
independent of Canadian lines of trans,
portation, and demanding cessation oi
legislation in favor of Canadian lines.
