Tipped the Crown Prince.

The following story is gong the
rounds of social circles in COpen-
hagen:
The crown prince, who loves to
take long walks, was promenading
The other day along the Strandney
when he came across one of the
tolIkeepers. After paying his tax
he began a conversation with the
good man, sitting on the bench
which the keeper occupied. A few
minutes later a rider came running
toward them. The crown prince
recognized him as Texas Jack, who
ha ridden 10 several races re-
Gently.
The sportsman neither knew tn
crown prince nor that he was to
pay toll for the privilege of using
the street. The keeper was obliged
to catch the bride of Texts Jacks
steed, as, speaking no Danish, the
latter did not understand the de.
mands made upon him and wish
ed to push by. Texas Jack was
growing angry when his royal
highness stepped forward and
announced in English that users of
the way had to pay 10 oere.
Upou hearing this The long hair
ed rider at once put his hand in
bis pocket, pulled out % oere and
gave the money to the crown
prince. The latter offered to re-
turn him 10 oere, but the Yankee,
with a majestic wave of his whip,
told the crown prince to keep the
\ change as a reward for helping
him ont OF bis difficulty.
| Ga the following day the crown
prince went to the races. Among
the competitors was Texas Jack
A few minutes before he was tC

he rode up in front of the roya
pavilion to make the customary
obelsance to the king. But he al
most dropped his reins hen, look
ing up, he saw the man to whom
he had given the fee on the proceed

Horrible Choctaw Execution.


A dispatch from Pamela, l. t.,
says: Monday put an end to the
life of Sllan Lewis, the Wil0urtOn
political prisoner, who has been
respited by Secretary Hoke Smith
SO many times. AT exactly ten
O'Clock Lyman Pdrsley, sheriff of
Gaines county, nred the fatal slot
which sent bis soul to tue unknown
Beyond his beautiful eighteen
years.old white wife, there was DO
other relative present to witness
the execution, and she was taken
away on the pretense that there
would be trouble, and she might
be killed. They were married la st
June, Immediately after he was re-
leased oil bond.
Just before ten o'clock the sheriff
and guards told him to come on
and get ready to be shot. de
said "Omah," which in English
means "all right" He pulled Oft
his coat and vest, and laid them
on the GROUND by his side. The
sheriff then painted a star just
under his right nipple, rolled the
shirt collar back, and spread a
blanket on the ground in front OF
the courthouse door. Lewis prayed
and made a short talk. The sheriff
stood within FIVE feet OF him, and
used a forty.four calibre Wlnches-
ter rife. The ball passed clear
through his body, ranging down
ward and into the ground.
Before the shooting Lewis was
blindfoIded, and two men held his
hands. When the shot was fired
the blood spurted out in stream.
He uttered a number or pitlful
groaus. He lived for thirty min
utes, aud the sheriff held his nose
and fnally smothered him. lie
died a horrible death. He was
shot by his enemy, and 1t is claim
ed was shot In the right side IN
order that he might die as hard as
possible. AS soon as life was ex-
tinct the sheriff turned him over
to the white folks, and then with
the horse rode away burriedly. He
evidently anticipated trouble, and
wanted to get away before it came
up.
| Every body is expecting trouble,
and it Is openly asserted that the
killing has just begun. O:lian
Lewis was tuIl-bloOded Choctaw,
about fifty four years old, aud had
once been sheriff of his county
i He faced death as braveDy as ever
man did, and never quivered.
Tho crima FIR which Sllian Lewis
was legally shot to death was thu
political assassination of five men
! and dates back to September TO-
1892. The case has attracted
considerable attention, and ha(
, not the United States government
interviewed, Lewis, and his eigh
, co.murderers would have long sine
i, paid the extreme penalty OF TIT
Choctaw law.

John Sherman Talks.


In a recent interview Senator
john Sherman said:
81 do not regard the present
as an indorsementOf the Mckinley
bill OF a demand on the part of the
people for radical tariff legislation,
There will undoubtedly be some
members who regard it as such,
but l hardly believe the party
will enter into any extreme
legislation OF this kind.
II would not favor any great
increase of duties. On the stump
in the campaign l SAID very plain
ly that was a moderate protec-
tlOnists and wanted only such du
ties as would insure a fair rate OF
wages for the workingmen OF this
country. l believe in so placing
the duties as to allow a healthy
foreign competition.
'IfI should see that any duty
was making a monopoly | would
take that duty off.
"The republicans went to an
extreme on the question IN 1897
because they had absolute control
ofall branches # the govern ment.
Iftbere had been any check they
would not have done So"
"Whether the republicans viii
modify the present tariff laws oil

ply to another: 81 am not can

AT Roanoke the Norfolk and
Western Railroad paid employees
S75, 600 wages for October.
Oysters from the Rappahannock

William Jackson, who gave his
wife strychnine last June in order
TO get rid of her and marry another
woman, was sentenced to ninety
nine years in the peniteDuary at
Greenrp, KY, on Saturday. 1t
would seem that it was thought a
sentence for Lille was too short a
time to do justice 10 his crime.
1t is computed that the aggre-
gate wealth of eight millionaire
brewers of New York city is S52,-
100000. The money spent by
workingmen to help provide those
eight men with paIatlal residences
would furnish $500 Of their
families with pretty 1000 cot
tages.

feat of last week in various way S
TO us it seems that the masses
are still entertaining the feelings

section their failure.

a large fish IN the river az Red Banks
As soon as he found that he had a monster
fish, he handed the pole to his brother-lI'
Inv, Mr.. A. +. Grandstaf, q veteran fisher

we'll that 1t would not do to attempt to
land this fish without "paying it out"
So, whenever the fish wanted to 90 this
way or that way. Mr.. Grandstaff gave

gone over hundred yards down the

even let 90 the pole. Then, getting into

"playedo the fish close to the island, Oh
the opposite side of the river. Here, after
getting the fish to the top Of the water
Mr. Boyd Grsndstaff shot it twice. Al
though the shot did not penetrate the fish,
they struck 1T with sufficient force 10
stun it con slderably, and it was then
drawn into quite shallow water, where
Charlie Brown, a colored man, got bis
hands into its gills and safely landed it.
1t proved to be what is known as leath-
err carp, 1t weighed ISL ponds, AMI was
50 inches long. The fish was put IN
