a QUAKER CITY INDUSTRY.

HanSmsn's Hopes u Finer Qualify Than
Those Used for Ordinary Purposes
Rope used for executions is made ale
most exclusively by philadelphia rope
factory and differs from ordinary rope
for commercial purposes in that it is
made by hand, instead of by mnchin-
cry, and q finer quality of rope is en-.
ployed, says the New York Herald.
Orders for such rope orc received by
the Philadelphia firm from all parts Of
the country. When the ropo to be used
in hanging is received by the sheriff it
is usually locked up carefully and kept
from curious eyes. AS tho day Of oxe-
cution draws near tho rope 10 soaped
literally with common kitchen soap,
SO it may run freely through the moose.
Then it is thoroughly stretched, one
end being tied to tho gallows beam,
while to the other end Is attached
about three hundred pounds of stone
or iron. The ropc is allowed to
remain at this heavy tension for
hours, and then, after having been
well soaped again and rendered per-
fcctly supple, it is laid away to await
the day when it is to be used for bust
ness purposes. After use the rope is
usually considered to. be one Of the
perquisites of the hangman. If he is
not the sheriff himself, that official
usually cuts Off few inches of the
moose and divides it up among his
favored friends as relics. The hang
man is then at liberty to dispose of the
remainder as he chooses. Usually he
sells 1t at fancy prices to curiosity
seekers or to dime museum managers
and others on the lookout for curiosi-
ties. After the hanging of the four
Haymarlset anarchists-August Spies,
Albert r. Parsons, Henry Fischer and
William Engel-in the Cook county
Jail ut Chicago, in November, 1887, the
ropes were taken from around the
mems neclss by Sheriff Matson's depu-
ties. The greater part of the ropes
were cut up almost Immediately after
ward and given as relics to the wit
nesses of the execution and others
Seven dime museums in different parts
of the country about q month later
were exhibiting four uncut ropes,
which were sworn to Us having been

which the four anarchists werc hanged.

SAVED BY A PAWN TICKET.

a Philadelphia Society Swell Who Feared
Disgrace II He Died.
A young man we'll known about town
in Philadelphia came very near pass
ing in his chips short time ago, but
anxiety about a pawn check probably
saved his life. He was suffering from
severe case of pneumonia, and, nc
cording to the Record, his physicians
despnired of pulling him through. The
grim reaper was about to cut him
down, when the young man suddenly
recollected that during a financial en-
bsrrassment previous TO his illness he
had pswned his handsome gold watch
in order to raise the necessary cash.
The pawn ticket was even at that mo-
nent under his pillow. With remorse
gnawing at his vitels he hastily sum-
moned his bosom friend, to whom he
confided his plight. 81 don't want to
die and have any pawn tickets found
on me-" he exclaimed. "For heavens
sake get it out" The friend took the
ticket and hurried away with all pos
sible speed to execute his commission,
fearing he would return and find the
owner of the watch . corpse. Strange
to say, the experience seemed to have
an exhilarating effect upon tho sick
man and he began TO mend at once.
To-day he Is as we'll as ever, but he
swears he will never pawn anything
again.

CARING FOR THE WAGE GARNER.

Certain readers OF the New York
Tribune asked for elementary iufor-
nation ON the silver question. The
Tribune got down as close to tho
earth rs it could and replied that
po)r countries use silver because a
man who gets 10 cents a day can car
ry a weeks wages in his pocket, but
rich countries use gold TO relieve
man who gets 80 day from the
weight. This lucid explanation leaves
the advocdts OF silver coinage with
ont word to say. He can no longer

Corvallis Times. The recent transfer of

tract that was purchased by Hogg and
the Englishmen in 1873, and this same
half which belonged to the latter was
sold by the sheriff in 1888 for taxes, and
Hogg was the purchaser. A short time
