Extenuatiup circumstances.

Judge-What, you plead extenuating
circumstances? Why, your crime was
simply terrible! After robbing the
poor family of what little money they
had managed to accumulate by almost
starving themselves, you murdered them
all-father, mother and eight children,
pouring kerosene on them and setting
them on fire. Then you burned their
house and killed eight of the officers
who tried to arrest you. And what,
may I ask, then, are your extenuating
circumstances?

WINTER AT THE MILL,

The winding lane is filed with snow;
The cold sky wears frown;
As far as hazy dreamland seems
The warm o'er1owing town.
And everything is white and chill
When it is winter at the mill
The mill wheel with its merry whir,
In icy hands is fast;
No CHEEKY neighbor seeks the door;
No traveller wanders past;
The path is lost across the hill
When it is winter at the mill.
The miller reads his almanac
And wishes it were spring,
When logs come tumbling down tn
stream,
And larks and veeries sing;
The whole wide world is blank and still
When it is winter at the mill.
The miller's wife, sore discomfort.
Sits by the easement low,
And knits and watches the gray smoke
From village chimneys blow.
There is no gossip. good or i'll.
When it is winter at the mill.
But to the miller's little maid
Time hastes on rosy wing.
The fairies she could never find
In any haunts of spring
Fill all the irelit chimney nook
Through magic of story book.

SONG.

There's beauty in the dawning light.
And twilight fair or starlit night
Has each its charm and grace.
But loveler still on earth to me.
The fairest thing my eye can see
The beauty of thy face.
There's calmness on the oceans breast.
AS deep and blue it seems to rest
Meath bluer heavens above,
But deeper, calmer, still to me
Than ever sea or sky can be,
Thine azure eyes, my Lowell
There's music in the running stream,
And music when the woodlands seem
Awake with songs of birds,
But sweeter, dearer, still to me
Than natures voice can ever be,
The music of thy words.

OH, NO, COMMODORE!

Commodore Gerry made an address
yesterday before the Convention of the
Humane Societies OF the State. at AL

introduction of whipping-posts In the
State as a means of punishment. rec
ommending their use especially In the
cases OF persons found guilty OF cruelty
to children.
No offense can be committed more re-
voting TO humanity than that OF the
cruel treatment of child. No man
or woman in the community could feel
the slightest pity for n person con-
victed OF such n crime. however Sc

whipping post is thing OF the past,

NOT HIGH ENOUGH UP.

The session of the Lexow Committee
yesterday was one OF dramatic interest.
Mrs. Urchittel, the woman who alleges
she was prosecuted because she refused
to pay blackmail to the police, and whose
children were taken from her and com
mitted to the care OF the Gerry Society
created a scene by begging for her chill
dren to be restored to her and imprint
ing kisse' on Lawyer MOSES hand.
Officer Hussey. against whom several
charges OF attempted extortion have
been made, added to the excitement by
abusing a witness in the Committees
room. Four men swore that he threat
ened to shoot the man. He swore that
he didn't.
These scenes are very sensational and
certainly show a very bad condition OF
affairs and much rascality on the part OF
the men charged with the alleged Of
lenses. But the accused are individual
members OF the force. who seem to have
INDUCED In crooked practices, on their
own account.
Now, the people would like to see the
Committee go higher. They have been
told that the corruption undergoing ex.
posture reaches to the heads Of the Po'
lice Department. II this Is true. why not
prove the fact at once7 1t Is very neal

LEVI PHoNoGRAPH NOR TON.

remarks OF Candidate Morton yester-

the information was u mere matter OF

his selection by Mr., Plat and had
accepted long before the delegates to the

pected that he would have had prepared
some sort OF fitting speech for the oc-
casion.
But why should any surprise be ex-
pressed at Mr.. Morton's twaddle? He
did not have Plat at his elbow as a
prompter, and he did not know what
to say. But he promised to write his
acceptance in the form of letter, and
this will be prepared for him by Boss

A NEW BOSS.

Gen Kerwin. the new Republican

OF a political organization. In a small
way he is a party boss
The Generals friends have been acting
with the Milholland Republicans. But
they have become dissatisfied with Mil

Of the traces. Last night they met in
the small hall OF Cooper Onion and
organized as a separate and distinct
party, electlng Gen. Kerwin as their
President.
The principal evIl OF the Police De-

politics or with political organizations.
When Gen. Kerwin was made a Com
