HARRIS PAYS THE PENALTY
EleCtrOCuted at Sing Sing for Poi
SOning His Wife
A FOOLISH LEAP TO DEATH
In a Daredevil Spirit a Switchman
Attempts to Shoot 5eething
Rapid-DrownedI

SING SING, N. Y, May S.-Carlyle
Harris, the young medical student
whose trial and conviction in New
York city for poisoning Helen Potts,
to whom he had been secretly married,
attracted so much attention, was
electrocuted in the prison here today.
Not since the first execution by this
method when four men, ,Slocum, ,Smeler,
Judive and Wood passed beneath the
deadly electrodes, has such interest
been displayed here. Throngs of peo-
pie gathered on the hillside overlooking
the gray prison walls, though the only
thing which they could hope to see in
connection with the execution was the
display of black flag above the tower
after he had been officially pronounced
dead. This great curiosity was partly
accounted for by the fact that he was
the first man of any intelligence to die
i'm the electric chair, partly to the wide
publicity given to the case in the news
papers and partly to the question of
the mans guilt, though as to the last
the chief element of doubt lay in Har-
ris' steady assertion of innocence.
Every possible effort was made to Sc
cure reversal Of the sentence, and
that falling, to induce Governor
Flower to mitigate the punishment,
but without savail. Contrary to the
usual custom, the warden did not read
the death warrant TO the condemned at
midnight, but Harris had been told
when the execution would take place.

Improved Christian Science

An exchange says that "laying on
hands" for complaint, especially in
children, is now taking the place of
Christian science. A mother cured
her boy Of cigarette habit with one
dose. She laid her hand on the boys
neck, her right hand on a substantial
slipper-and then laid the slipper
where 1t would do the most good. 1t
affected a cure and relapse is not
looked for.

MINING JOTs.

The Sunset Company has quit work
for a short time after sinking a forty-foot
incline and finding a few s%tringers.
The Jim Blaine mine is being worked
by Ned Gregory under bond with Sacra-
mento people. The Jim Blaine now
shows a four foot ledge of rock bearing
coarse gold, the ledge continuing to
widen with depth. The prospect here is
certainly very encouraging as the rock
runs into the hundreds.
Donelin, loft & Co., will prospect
their claim at once and according to in
dications expect to cross-cut the ledge
within the month.
E. 2. Bailey and Dave Washeim are
hard at work on a ledge which shows a
good prospect in gold and sulphurets,
but development only will tell the
strength.
There is considerable prospecting
going on in the district and prospects
develope so as to give encouragement
generally.

Silver Men.

The friends Of silver in nearly all Of
our sister states are e~nergetically organ
izing for the conflict. Shall Nevada lag
behind? She was the foremost of all
the states in her loyalty to the silver
cause in the late presidential campaign.
1t is time she was heard from in the pre-
ent cricis. Let every silver club in the
state and in every election precinct meet
in mass convention in their respective
localities, pass resolutions in earnest
protest against the repeal of the Sher-
man law, unless a free coinage bill be
substituted, and forward the same to
our senators and representatives in con-
gress. 1t has been suggested that a
state convention be called, but OF ac-
count of the great expense to delegates
and because it il better to have an ex-
preston of the people in each neighbor-
hood in mass meeting, We most earnest
ly urge the adoption Of the latter plan.

interests of silver. All friends of the
white metal are invited.
A. J.. Warner says: "There ie no
remedy for such financial troubles as we
are experiencing, and no way SO provide
against the recurrence of such troubles,
but to put under oiir structure Of credit a
broader foundation of primary or STAN
dard money and this cannot be done
with gold alone for the gold cannot be
obtained. There is no way but to make
silver again do part OF the work of gold
it did for ages before its fraudulent de-
monetization in 1873"
