NEWSY NOTES.

Harry Hayward, the murderer of
Miss Catherine Cling in Minneapolis has
confessed his guilt, although he protes.
ted that he was innocent from the day of
his arrest, and all through his long trial
to the present time.
A man over in venango county, so the
story goes, sold his wife to another fell
low for $40, a suit of clothes, a jug of
whiskey, two hound pups and some fish
ing tackle. If she is the right kind of
woman she ought to be worth it,
Judge Arnold of Philadelphia has re-
fenced him to hang. An appeal will be
taken to the Supreme Court, but it looks
very much like a mp-stretching
seance for the man of many murders,
A person on train will notice, if listen
ing closely, a click as each rail is passed.
If you take out your watch and count
the number of clicks in twenty seconds
you will have the number of miles at
which the train is going an hour. This
is always true as the rails are OF uniform
length. 1t is a system that is used by
railroad men when no register is at hand.
-Ex.
Returns to the Department of Internal
Affairs show 20 passengers killed and 6l2
injured in the railroads within this State
during the year ended June 80, 1895; 447
employees killed, and s,346 injured /;
l,l07 other persons killed and l0,607 in
jured. By "other persons" are usually
meant trespassers, suicides, people un-
der the influence of liquor and those
killed at railroad crossings.
Girls shouldn't chew gum. They
can't continue to look pretty
sweet and kissable if they are addicted
TO the gum habit. The constant working
of the jaws spoils the mouth, producing
a coarse expression. 1t makes the mus
cles strong, as exercise does in any part
of the body, and takes away the curve OF
of the lips and delicay of form essential
to beauty. The lips become straight and
thick, with fullness about the corners oi
the mouth, destroying the refinement
and charm of that part of the person. A
pretty girl who keeps up the habit soon
looses her great facial charms, and it is
becoming a matter of note that pretty
girls are not gum chewers.-Butler Her

At a recent contest in Chicago between
operators on linotype type-setting ma
chimes, the championship and purse o
$500 were won by G. w. Green, OF Bos
ton paper, who set and corrected 1000
ems of solid nonpereil in 8 hOnrs. Las
Monday, in the course of his regular
work as an operator in the Derrick OF
fee, VIM. f. Boyle, son of Editor Boyle
set and corrected 60, 900 ems of solid non
pereil in u hours. In the champion
contest the copy to be set was CAREFUL!
prepared, punctuated, etc., and was type
written, whereas Boyle took the run o
copy in variety, and 5000 ems of wha
he set was proper names, very slow com
position. Considering everything, younI
Boyle's performance practically equal
that of Green.-Frsnklin News.

TIME To WAKE Up.

The information which Mr.. Hummer,
OF this city, brings down from Alaska
only confirms what has already been said
regarding the activity OF Great Britain In
readjusting the northern boundary of Brit
ish Columbia. About 1ss5. during Cleve-
lands first administration, her majesty's
government first began 10 agitate her
claim for more extensive territory IN the
northwest and we were led blindly into
appointing a commission. thus recogniz-
Ing there was dispute over the boundary
line. This commission viii report to both
governments before December, and as we
are Just now splendid subjects for bam-
boozIing. there Is some probability OF our
coming out very substantial losers in this
international transaction.
Great Britain has not been lying on her
oars waiting for these reports before TAX
ing any action. For two years she has had
her engineers in the field making surveys
and taking photographs and the coveted
territory as fast as ii is measured is taken
possession OF by detachments Of Canadian
police and others SO that when 1t comes
to a settlement Of the question nine points
OF the law will be with Great Britain.
This grabbing scheme takes from US a
strip Of land coo miles in length and vary
ing from fifty to 80 miles in width. The
establishment OF a boundary line as Great
Britain is now laying IL out will deprive
us OF land the title to which has been in
the undlsputed possession of the United
States and it's grantors for 145 years. IT
includes much OF the mainland. Glacier
bay. the heads OF several estuaries and
many islands among them New Metla-
katla over which Mr. Duncan. the Pres
byterian missionary, has been exercising
jurisdiction for years under a grant from
congress.
Rev. Mr.. Benham, Catholic clergyman
who was quoted a few days ago in these
columns, recently returned from the north
and he is even more wrought up than Mr..
Runners interview shows the venerable
head of the New Metlakatla colony to be.
Through our inactivity, supineness, and,
as he expresses it, lack of "gumpton.
we are suffering the control OF all the most
important points along the entire coast to
pass from us If we allow matters TO go
on as they are, protestations at the elev-
enth hour will result in protracted arbi-
tration with the British in possession.
What the result will be is easily imagined
when il is remembered how gracefully
John Bull has always yielded up territory
he has once gotten his hand on.
1t does not appear that our government
is doing very much to counterfeit the spir-
tied aggressiveness of the land grabbers,
but when the fish have ceased TO bite,
when the navy has returned from its sum-
mer trips and prominent officials have rest
ed from their exhausting 'pernicious
activity Il is to be- hoped that little
time will be found to look into this matter
and prevent If possible any contemplated
spoilation of our public domain
