Proves Not Less Tragic Than
His Hanging
HARRY HAYWARD'S MOTHER
Faiuts Beside the Coffin OF Her
Youngest Son
A Post.Mortem Examination Indicates That
the Criminal Never Attained to
Normal Development


! Associated Press specisl Wire.
MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, Dec. lI.-At the
simple burial services over the remains OF
Harry Hayward this afternoon at the
Lakewood cemetery, there occurred most
tragic incident. The ceremony was held
in the little chapel at the cemetery and was
attended by very few friends and the
members of the family, Adry included.
After the words of scripture and prayer,
Mrs. Hayward desired to place some flow
ers on the casket and, supported by her
son, DIR. Thaddeus Hayward, advanced to
do so. She walked around the head of the
coffin, strewing carnations as she did so.
When she had arrived at the right-hand
side of the bier she hesitated. In response
to a signal from her, Thaddeus and her
husband loosened their support of her and
she stood alone. She raised her clenched
hands and broke forth in low moaning
tone: "Poor. dear Harry; poor dear
Harry. My baby boy; my dear baby.
God has forgiven-God has forgiven him.
Poor, dear Harry; poor. dear Harry Be
brave, mother: be brave and strong. The
chains bind me, but they cannot chain my
soul. come again. Poor, dear Harry;
poor, dear Harry my BABY
With this the mother started and turned
toward where Adry sat. In front of Adry
she stopped and lifted his face in her
hands.
Adry said: "Tell him I've forgiven
him, mother"
Her reproachful tones echoed in the
silent room. Seemingly half crazed, the
bereaved mother turned from her elder
boy to where her youngest. her darling, LAY,
and fell fainting into the seat near by.
A PosT-MoRTEM HELD.
Before the execution Harry Hayward.
at the request of his brother, DR.. Thad-
deus Hayward consented that an autopsy
be performed, and the body examined.
This was done at the morgue this morning
by committee of physicians he AIDED by
DIR. w. A. Jones, brain specialist. and
DIR. H. A. Tomlson, formerly superin-
tendent of the insance asylum at St.
Peter.
showed it was about normal in size and
shape. The line through the ears was
long. the forehead narrow and retreating;
temporal bones very thick. The brain
itself seemed small. 1t was taken to be
treated and examined more carefully.
Beyond much question Hayward was a
degenerate, according to one of the
, specialists who conducted the autopsy. OF
the four stigmata named by Caesar Lom-
brosa as Invariably characterizing degen-
crates, three have been found. viz. !:
Marked asymetry of skull, brain and face !;
protuberant front teeth, and narrow and
sharply arehed palate. The fourth lies in
the facial and nasal angles, and will prob
ably be found to exist when proper calcu-
lations have been made from skull
measurements. The brain has been found
to weigh so ounces, about normal and the
defects in it, il any, are too subtle for
either the knife or microscope to detsct.

THERE WAS NO EXPLOSION

Because the Bold Sailormen Worked With
out Fear
New YORK, Dec. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
Particulars have just been received on
shore eff what nearly caused the destruc-
ton of the United States cruiser Cincin-
natl and the loss of 800 lives.
1t was reported tn the officer of The deck
of the Cincinnati about 2:3O in the after
noon that some smoke had made it's APP
pearance in The dynamo room and all
about the neighborhood of the forward
magaz ne. The fire bell was rung at once
and the pumps were started. The smoke
in the cou partment adj Joining and above
the magazines was 80 thick that the first
officer to arrive on the scene gave orders
to flood the ammunition at once. The
matches we're opened and streams of water
from The deck hose were added to those in
flooding the compartment.
The circumstances were too critical to
admit of hesitation, and water was poured
in until the ammunition compartments
were completely filed. The SIN Ike had
by this time considerably abated and it
was evident that the water had risen above
the fire.
Captain Johnson, who, with the execu-
tive officer, Lieutenant-C Commander Ever.
EFT, had taken personal large, directed
all ammunition not yet under water to be
passed on deck. This was do ie with al
most incredible rapidly. Men worked
fast. The forward tlve-inch magazines
were next emptied, and it was found that
several of the boxes containing the fixed
ammunition were charred nearly through.
A little delay in flooding the magazines
would have caused a catastrophe.
The fire was right abreast OF the auxil-
larry oilers in a coal bunker partially
filled with soft coal. The heat from the
boilers had caused the coal to shoulder,
and this in turn had charred the shell boxes
through the separating buIkheads. 1t is
Thought no damage was done, unless it be
found that The ammunition was injured by
| water. The officers say the men worked
| with the same presence of mind and dis
regard of danger as though the magazines
were empty.
The Cincinnati is here to prevent filibus
| tering and TO enforce the neutrality laws.

A Scarcity of Skeletons.

A professor in a New York medical
college told me yesterday that just al
this timethe was an unusual scarcity
of materialin the skelenton market. AS
with everything else, there is wide
range in the prices of skeletons. The
domestic article may be had for $50,
while the imported runs from that to
$500, the average price for good
French skeleton being about $50. In
the high priced article the nervous and
circulatory systems are preserved. An
ordinary skull, with cross-bones, such
as are used at the feasts of the ghoul
clubs, may be had for $40, but real
fine article, that will unhinge and let
you see what is contained inside, will
cost you in the neighborhood of $25.
The very finest specimen of articula-
ton is skull that costs S75. A slight
pressure on a spring is sufficient to
open the Uranium, and all the nervous
system of the head is revealed, CULVER
ing as if it were filled with life. The
illusion is produced by attaching each
part to a spiral spring or wire, which
is in turn fastened to an upright brass
rod. Secondhand domestic skeletons
can often be purchased as low as s15
or $40. They are first prepared by
amateurs, either medical students or
janitors of hospitals, and when the
students are through with the bones
they are willing to let them go at al
most any price. If you want foot or
a hand, you can buy them separately,
but most articulators object to selling
arms, ribs, or collar bones unless the
purchaser is willing to take the entire
frame. Y. Advertiser.

AS Hot as Sahara.

The great Sahara Desert of Africa is
regarded as the hottest region in the
world. The vast plain which extends
1000 miles from east to west, and 1000
from north to south, has temperature
of $50 degrees Fahrenheit in the hot
test day of summer. This is about the
temperature of the hot room in the
Turkish bath. 1t is said that the
caravans, which usually consist of
from 500 to 1000 camels, with their as
sistants, experience great suffering
through the intense heat and the de-
privation of water, as the distance
between wells very often exceed ten
days. There are numerous instances
on record where whole tribes have
perished from thirst, as the wells and
springs to which they had iourneyed
had been dried up by the heat. II
would be impossible for any one but
the acclimatized Moors, Berbers and
Arabs to live, even for day, in the
heart of the rainless Sahara. In spite
of the fact that the days are extremely
hot, the nights are nearly always un-
comfortably cold. and the travellers
are obliged to burden themselves with
blankets in order to endure the change.

Why the Farmer is Tired.

The American farmer is get
ting tired of Democratic sneers at
the home market. He has been study
ing the subject in the light of practi-
cal experience. The demand for his
products is undiminished, but he feels
the effect of the scarcity of cash
through slack work and small wages,
occassioned by the operation of the
new Tariff law. The farmer probably
feels most sensibly and keenly any
impairment of domestic industries.
The fields are dependent upon the
factories. They work together and
usually benefteach other. The foreign
market buys now from six to eight per
cent. of our farm products, while the
slurred and despised home market
consumes from 92 to "a per cent. The
more this home market is protected in
its varied sources of vitality, the better
it is for the farmer. He hasno chance
in Europe except in times of war or
famine.-The Hawk-Eye, Burlington,
Ia, April 8, 1895.

GARFIELD AS A REVIEWER.
He Was Highly Pleased at Doini
Such Work.

Concerning Garfeld's inordinate
love for books new story is told
here.
When he first came to Washington
his salary was not sufficient to sup
port his family and to crafty his taste
for literature, and it was his large ex-
penditure for new books, in fact,
which kept him poor and added to his
difficulties.
In those days Garfield devoured
every new book that came from the
press, and his mania in this direction
led to an arrangement between himself
and the proprietor of a bookstore
here.
At the time publishers were in the
habit of sending two copies of all new
works to dealers, for the purpose OF
securing reviews in the newspapers,
and this firm asked Garfield if he
would not like to have the new books
turned over to him for review.
II never saw a happier man than
Garfield was when this proposal was
made to him." says the bookdealer.
HE fairly hugged me for JOY. Every
night thereafter for three years he
would stop at the store on his way
from the house and take home with
him an armful of new books.
''Then he would sit up nearly all
night reading these and writing out
notices for the newspapers, bringing
US the copy the next morning.
81 can turn to the files of the old
newspapers and show you columns OF
book notices written by Mr.. Garfield. u

Higher Pay for Women Than Men
Receive.

Pittsburg, Pa, women have entered
the ranks of day laborers and are
proving themselves SO efficient they
receive higher wages than have been
paid men for the same class of work.
Half a dozen Welsh women began
work this week in the rolling mill of
the Monongahela tin-plate works on
the South Side. They receive the
plates as they come from the rolls and
separate the black sheets. This work
heretofore has been done wholly by
men. 1t is hard and rough. The
women wear great leather shields on
their hands, leather aprons, and hob
nailed shoes to protect them from the
heat, and metal. The women are paid
s1.50 a day. Men received for the
same work S1.35. The forewomen gets
S1.75. This is the first time women
have been employed at such work in
this country.-Chicago Tribune.

The South and the Candidacy.

The South is not enthusiastic over
the suggestion that one of its sons
should be nominated for President by
the Democratic Convention for 1896.
Apparently the South either thinks the
suggestion is not made in good faith
or it is convinced that no Democrat
can win anyhow, and therefore it does
not want the nomination. Probably it
is correct in the first inference; un-
questionably it is correct in the
second. No serious attempt is likely
to be made in the North to give the
South the candidacy, although the
level-headed Democrats of each Sec
ton feel that their party has no chance
to win with any candidate. For these
reasons the South is perhaps wise in
refusing to gush over the proposition.
In the past half century the South
has had hard luck in Democratic
National Conventions. Previous to
1s4S most of the chief prizes of politics
came its way. The Democratic Presi-
Dental candidates from 1900 to 1920,
both years included, who were also
the successful candidates, were
Southern men. In the scrub race of
1924, when J. Q. Adams was elected,
the South contributed two candidates,
Jackson and Crawford. 1t had the
candidate, the successful one, Jackson,
in 1928 and 1882. In 1886 and 1910 the
North, in the person of Van Buren,
captured the nomination, but in 1874
the South got it again. The nominee
of that year, Polk. was the latest
which the Democracy except in the
split of 1860, when Douglas led one
section of the party and Breckenridge
the other-gave the South, Cass,
Pierce, Buchanan, Mcclellan and all
the Democratic candidates since the
war have been Northern men.
Unquestionably the South deserves
the highest sort of honors at the
Democracy's hands. From the be-
ginning of the Government the brains,
and usually the greater part of the
votes of the party, were contributed
by that section. The events of 1861-5,
which temporarily excluded the South
from all chances of getting the big
political prizes, are so far behind us
that to the bulk of the voters they
seem almost as remote as the Wars of
the Roses. 1t is time that the disabil-
tiles of the South in that connection
were removed. A statute of limitations
should be raised against all partisan
transgressions committed prior to
1876. When the country elected a
Democratic President in 1884 it con-
doned the offenses of 1875. The duty
of the country now is to forget them.

CAPTURED IN JACKSON.
Wild Man Taken Alive in the New
City Limits and now on Exhfbf-
ton.

Late Monday two men came in
from Jackson with a two horse wagon
on which was mounted a top some
what similar to bakers wagon. They
selected shady side of brick wall
on Main street, erected above the top
OF the wagon hideous looking picture,
mounted on the seat an African with a
banjo, who proceeded to advertise the
show.
The "Show" was contained in the
wagon and consisted of a freak or
mOnstrosity of the genus homo-a
deformed idiot. All who saw it said
they would prefer to pay fifty cents
and not see it, rather than pay dime
for the sight.
The DEMOCRAT sent a reporter to
learn what attracted the crowd. The
reporter, not being subject to the in
come tax, had only one nickle. This
would not admit him to the "show," !"
and he dare not return without the
desired information. What was he to
do? A bright idea struck him.
Bribery. So he squandered that
nickle and bribed the African banjoist
to tell him what was contained in that
box. He then went on to tell the re-
porter that it was nothing less than a
wild man, who he said was captured
in the new city limits of Jackson, and
near the residence of Rev. Fred. Kies,
the County Treasurer. He said the
citizens of Jackson exacted
promise from his bosses to not tell
where the wild man was captured, be-
cause they were ashamed to let the out
side world know that they had taken
in SO much territory when they extend
ed the city limits at the late city
election.
The DEMOCRAT warned the Jackson
people before the election and washes
its hands of all blame even though
the wild men and wild beasts roam the
streets day and night.

Twenty Years Ago.

PARODY ON FORTY YEARS AGO.
I've wandered to the tavern, Jim,
I've took another spree,
Upon the same old bumming ground
Which "busted' you and me;
But few were left to ''treat' me, Jim.
And few were left to know
| Who drank with me in that old tavern
Just twenty years ago.
The house was just as full, Jim,
Big "raw-boned" sports at play,
Were drinking just as we did then,
With spirits just as gay,
But the bartender sleeps back of the
square
Which, coated per with snow.
Afforded us ''scrapping' ground
Some twenty years ago.
The tavern, it is altered some,
The barrels are replaced
With new ones very like the same
Our clubs and rocks defaced:
But the same old stuff is in 'em, Jim,
The boys reel to and fro,
Its effect is just the same, Jim,
Twas twenty years ago.
The ''stuff" that bubbled, boiled and
foamed,
Upon the quaint old stand
Is very weak, was once SO strong
That we could hardly stand!
And stepping up to take a drink
Dear Jim started so
To think how very much I've drunk
Since twenty years ago.
In the bar room, upon the wall
You know I chalked your name,
Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Jim
And you did mine the same;
Some reckless sport has scratched it
off
Twas fading sure but slow,
Just as the one whose name was wrote
Married-twenty years ago!
My throat had long been dry, Jim,
And tears had filled my eyes,
1 thought of her loved so we'll
Those early broken ties.
l visited the old street slums,
Where we had used to go,
To look for those we used to meet,
Just twenty years ago.
Some are in the Jail house shut
Some sail upon the sea,
And none are left of our old clan
Excepting you and me;
And when our coin is "blown," Jim,
And we can drink no more,
If we don't mend our ways then,
Well land on Satan's shore.
Whence:
