ANARCHISTS FRsx.

Governor Altgeld of Illinois has
pardoned Samuel Fielder, Oscar Neebe
and Michael Schwab, the notorious
Anarchists. who have been serving life
sentence in the Joliet ,Penitentiary.
Their crime was for completely in the
Haymarket riot in Chicago on the night
Of May 4. 1886, when dynamite bomb
was thrown into the ranks Of the police
from the midst of the mob, which ex.
ploded and wounded sixty.six people,
seven Of whom afterwards died OF their
injuries. For this offense August Spies,
Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielder, Albert
r. Parsons. Adolph Fisher. George
Engle. Louis Lingg and Oscar Neebe
were arrested and found guilty on their
trial. All but Neebe were sentenced to
be hanged. The penalty in his case was
fixed at fifteen years Afterward the
sentence OF Schwabe and Fielden was
COMMITTED to life imprisonment. Lingg
committed suicide in Jail the night be.
fore he was to be executed. Therefore
only Spies, Parsons. Fischer and Engsl
were publicly hanged on Nov. IL. 1887.
Judge Gray. who sentenced the
Anarchists. bitterly opposed their par.
don. Notwithstanding this. however,
the Governor. assuming that these three
men did not have fair and impartial
trial, pardoned them. and they have
gone forth free men.
This is a great difference of opinion as
to the course Of the Governor. and some
bitter criticism has been made about his
action. .. :.

Dangerous colors Used by tho Romans

One of tho most famous preparations
among the ancient Romans for the com
pleXion was that of popp@a, made of rye
or barley flour mixed with Oil; which was
washed off with milk. 1t should be re-
marked here that this preparation was
rather for the preservation and restoration
of the skin, seriously affected by the colors
of various kinds applied when the Roman
ladies were in society. The white lead used
to deaden the complexion when it was too
fresh was always dangerous, and minimum,
or red lead, equally so. Anthony was in
common use. To give freshness of color
various substances were employed, among
the rest dye prepared from seaweed In
addition to the red and white applied to
the face, to initiate What was supposed to
be the natural hues of the complexion. n
certain blue was added to show the delicate
tracery of the veins.-San Francisco Chrop..
