by IL Eoston Woman.

was crowded. says the Boston Harula,
A good many of the passengers were
wOrkingmen. and those fortunate

open every time the car stopped. It

but those who formed this opinion OF
her when she entered the car iclt

Several of the girls had selected the
seats they meant to have when they

but dld not want to give up the battle,
decided 10 compromise rather than

looking woman
Instead Of quietly dropping into the
vacancy. as is usual in such cases. the
woman turned and said:
NJ, thank you. Sir. I am as vel,
able TO stand as you are: YOU had bet

up to The subject, She continued: II can
not understand this nonsense of civ

they were poor, weak creatures. I'M

men, who have been working hard all

Original Theory of Education.

Count de Lesseps has always had
theories on the education of children.
Part of his success in the Suez canal
was due to the help of Abbas Pasha,
who had been pupil of the count.
Aebas was very fat and luxury-lov-
ing boy, but with more than ordinary
intelligence. At the end of the first
month Of De Lesseps' direction of his
education his tutor with some pride
brought in the boys reports. DO not

Of Nevada, resumed his argument
against the repeal bill.
In answer to the charge that those
who opposed the bill were thwarting
the will of the majority, he denied that
such was the case. Filibusterers were
not silver men, but the administration
was filibustering against allowing the
will of the majority to be expressed.
They had used corrupt, most aggressive
and most outrageous means in secret at
first and in public now to enslave the
majority. Let the administration take
off it's hand and let the majority ex-
press itself in the senate, he said, and
silver would have nearly two to one.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 24.-[By Tele-

forfeited his life on a Georgia gallows
and the coolest, was hanged at Carriers
vile today. He was Will Dutton, and
the crime for which his life was taken
was the murder OF Mrs. Sallie Mobbs,
in November last. Mrs. Mobbs was a
grass widow, who bore rather shady
reputation and with whom Dutton is
believed to have been intimate. Dut-
ton was a handsome, dashing fellow,
who devoted most of his time to cards,
though his people are prominent and
stand we'll. His case has attracted great
attention owing to the strenuous efforts
that have been made to save his neck.
The time for his execution was fixed
once before, but be succeeded in secur-
ing respite on the strength of his
statament duplicating Mr.. and Mrs.
Marsey as the guilty parties. For sew
eral days delegation of Cartersville
people have been here to see the gov
ernor, hoping to secure com mutation of
his sentence, but the governor thought
he had been given every chance he de-
served. Today, in the face OF big
crowd, he stood on the gallows with
hands uplifted and protested his inno-
cence of the crime. He also prepared a
statement which was published in pam
phlet form with red cover and bear
ing his picture as frontispiece. These
he sold to the crowd about the gallows
at quarter piece to raise money, as
he put it, "to keep my body from those
internal medical students; l want de-
cent burial" When there seemed to
be let-up to the sale he took to writ
ing his autographs on the hooks to
make them 60 faster. He made ram

minutes Returned to the sheriff. "Have

He was told to 90 on, and he did e.
Finally he stopped and the sheriff
thought he had better 60 ahead. The

KANSAS CITY DEsPERADOES.
Attempt to Rob a Pawnshop In
s Broad DAYLIGHT,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 24.-[By Tele-
graph. lin the busiest point in Kansas
City, at l O'Clock this afternoon, two
young desperadoes made a daring at
tempt to rob Stevens pawnshop at 821
Main street. They sandbagged a fif-
teen. year-old clerk, after decoying him
to back room, but he recovered from
tine blow and gave an alarm before they
succeeded in stealing anything.
The would-be robbers waited until
the proprietor had left the store for
lunch, when they entered and, enticing
the clerk into rear room on the pre-
tense of wanting to redeem a watch,
struck him on the head with billy.
The clerk fell senseless to the floor
while the robbers made an attempt to
get at $1,000 in money, besides guam
tity OF diamonds and jewelry locked up
in nearby case. In the meantime the
clerk came to and, realizing what was
going on, ran and gave the alarm. The
desperadoes saw their game was up,
and, without having anything, made q
break for the door and started down
Main street. Though the street was
crowded at the time, the people did not
seem to realize what was going on and
the robbers escaped.
The clerk is unable to give an accu.
rate description of them, though he de-
clared they were neither over twenty
years of age.
