The Use of Bottle.

An Irish orator was arrested in Lon don the other day for drunkenness, but he pleaded his own cause and got off. He said: "It happened this way, your hammer. was lect'rin on home reool in Hoide park, and 8 lot of Orangemen wid no ar gyments but leathery lungs was ob- structin me. The debate was at it's height when a polisman came up and moved the closure. Mccarthy he says, 'go home and finish up your spache to- morrow night So away went, but when turned the corner into the Edg- ware road polisman said I was drunk, though was as sober as any member of the house of cammons, and here am, your hammer" This was the explanation given by John Mccarthy, bootmaker and home rule lecturer, of his appearance be- fore MT. Plowden at the Marylebone po- lice court. Didn't you have bottle with you?" asked the constable. "I had, !" said Mccarthy.

Most of the witnesses reached the warden's office long before that hour, especially the press rep resentatives The friends of the warden, several of whom came, gathered in the outside office and chatted nervously until summoned to the death room. The physi- clans talked calmly of the execution, dis eussed it from scientific standpoint and told of their former experiences at such sc nes.
 As for Carlyle Harris, the coolness which he has shown ever since his arrest had not all departed. He is said to have passed what was to be his last night on earth calmly. The death watch say that he slept for several hours. He smoked several packages of cigarettes, as usual, and he ate some breakfast.
 Harris Last Day.
 Harris spent the best part of his last day on earth, not in communication with spir- itual advisers preparing for the great here after, but with pen, ink and paper, review ing the past and seeking to place himself right with the world he was about to leave. His words will be spread broadcast throughout the land in his last attempt to establish his innocence in spite of the yer ulcC or the courts. tuner men cOnuemneu to die give little heed to the verdict of this world when the last hope of averting their fate is gone, and devote themselves to mak- Ing their peace with God. Not so with Harris.
 He saw Chaplain Wiles for few mo ments aud devoted hours to his screed for publication.
 He undoubtedly realized when he de- cided four days ago not to ask for respite that he could not stand further strain.
 Dr. Irvine, the prison physician, saw him last night and said that while Harris showed a little more nervousness than usual, he could discover no signs of break ing down. Harris appetite had been very light ever since he has been in Sing Sing, and he ate very little yesterday.
 Mrs. Harris remained at the boarding house on State street Sunday, and did not go to the prison. She took her last fare well of her boy Saturday afternoon. The scene was one of the saddest that has ever been witnessed within the grim walls where all is sadness.
 Father and Mother Together.
 Mir. and Mrs. Harris have been separated and have lived apart for some time. The sons have been with the mother and when Carlyle was arrested it was the mother who

 Lieutenant Peary added that while in Colorado he purchased number of prairie wolf skins for clothing and some burros, which would be utilized to transport sup plies from the edge of the mountains to the inland ice, and upon reaching the ice snow wshoes would be placed upon their feet for ice service. He thought these animals would easily survive the winter in the polar regions, and even if they did not, much service could be gained from them during the fall months.
