Mr.. EDITOR In looking over
my possessions this week | found
an old relic in the shape of news
paper, well preserved, entitled
Ulster County Gazette, published
at Kingston, Ulster Co., N. Y, by
Samuel Freer & Son, dated Satur-
day, Jan. 4, 1900. Among other
items was poem
CON THE DEATH OF GEN WASHINGTON -
[BY A YOUNG LADY.l
What means that solemn dirge that strikes my ear?
What means those mournful sounds-why shines
the tear?
Why toll the bells the awful knell of fate?
All why those signs that do my fancy satel
Where'er 1 turn, the general gloom appears,
Those mourning badges fill my soul with fears?
Hark yonder rueful noise it's done it's done!
The silent tomb invades our Washington
Must virtues so exalted yield their breath?
Must bright perfection find relief in death?
Must mortal greatness fall? a glorious name?
What then is riches, honor and true fame?
The august chief, the father and the friend,
The generous patriot-let the Muse commend;
Columbias glory, and Mount Vernon's pride
There lies enshrin'd with numbers at his side!
There let the sigh respondent from the breast,
Heave in rich numbers Let the glowing zest.
OF tears retulgent beam with grateful love-
And sable mourning our affliction prove.
Weep! kindred mortals, weep! no more you'll find
man so just, so pure, so firm in mind;
Rejoicing Angels, hail the heavenly sage!
Celestial spirits greet the wonder of the age!

A Joke That Cost a Life.

As the result of practical joke played
on Lewis Boyer, an aged street cleaner of
Philadelphia, the victim is dead, and the
police are looking for the jokers, who, if
caught must face charge of murder.
On April -, Boyer was employed at
cleaning the asphalt pavement on Twenty
seventh street. between Ridge and Mont
gomery avenues. He was about finishing
his task when two men, employed in a
neighboring cement works, for a joke,
upset his push cart. The old man re-
monstrated, and fight resulted, in which
the old man was struck in the eye. He
fell heavily against the curb stone, and
was rendered unconscious for short
time.
The two assailants were arrested, and
at the Twenty eighth district police sta
ton gave their names as Frank Huss and
Walter Voise and said they lived at
Twentv-sixth and Diamond streets. AS
Boyer failed to appear at the hearing next
morning, Magistrate Romig fined the
two prisoners for being drunk and dis
orderly and released them. On the Mon
day following, Boyer went to Police Lieu
tenant Hallowell, and asked that a war
rant be issued for the arrest of Huss and
Voise, for assault and battery He
complained of terrible pains in his head,
and a warrant was issued, but the two
men had disappeared.
On Saturday last Boyer became very
i'll, and was taken in an unconscious
condition to the German Hospital. He
gradually grew worse, and Tuesday morn
ing he died. An autopsy proved that
death resulted from hemorrhage of the
brain.
Huss, who is a native of this section, a
son of John Huss, had in the meantime
come to Rising Sun and helped "the
boys" dispose of what liquor was left be-
fore the prohibitory law went into effect
May Ist Tuesday evening in company
with Amos McCunmings he boarded
the train for Sylmar to spend the night
with the latter. On Wednesday morning
Constable Benz. Briscoe received tele-
gram from the chief of police of Phila.,
ordering that Huss be arrested and
brought to Phila. The constable soon
apprehended his man, who expressed a
willingness to 60 and had not heard that
the escapade of April 18th had resulted
so seriously. Constable Briscoe took him
to Philadelphia and delivered him to the
chief of police, returning Wednesday
evening.
The other assailant, Walter Voise has
not been located at present writing.

To Stretch Hemp June 21st.

The Cokesbury murderer, Horace
Cooper, is to be hung June Dist,
that day having been appointed by
Gov. Brown for his execution. By
that time he will be "rigidly
righteous" and the men who pray
and sing with him will report him
"converted," prepared to die"
and all that. Admitting this all to
be true it will be the basest of legal
murders to hang up like a sheep
thief dog so good human being.
If he were pardOned in place of
hanged on June Dist, and march
out of jail free, in all probability
his righteousness would be thrown
to the winds and he would murder
some body else before a year passed.
If hung at all he ought to have
been hung the next day after his
sentence.
We don't believe in hanging at
all, nor in legal punishment any
more than in the conversion of
murderers under dures. The one
is intoxicating revenge in the com
munity, the other frightning the
victim with the fear of hell a
''hangman's whip to hold thewretch
in order" as Burns puts it.
Punishment doesn't prevent
crime in the community, nor fright
make christians. The criminal
should be restrained from running
at large, treated kindly, furnished
with work, and all he earned above
his support should be given to his
family or that of his victims. If
those are not in needy circumstances
his earnings should be saved and
given him when his term of impriso-
ment expired, or placed in the
hands of a trustee for his future use.
A criminal should never be per-
mitted to infict his evil propensities
upon society by perpetuating his
race.
The state will never reform the
criminals or make the number less
by hanging the few murders it can
catch and placing task mastes over
others who commit less grades of
crime, force them to work without
reward or future hope, and debar
them from speaking while driven
with a cat-o'nine- tails in spirit of
revenge and cruelty, to life of
silent, dull toll.
No wonder society is in a cease
less worry and ferment. Lifted into
new life of civilization, it is still
doomed to carry this dead body of
the dark ages, If it could be freed
from this dead past it could be
happy. 1t has every attribute at
hand for comfort ana happiness in
abundance for all.

Educating Him for a Tramp.

After being away from his parents
almost week, Richard Arnold, the u
years old son of John A. Arnold of Ian
caster, was restored to them Sunday,
having been enticed by tramp to leave
his home. 1t is reported young Arnold
desired to become tramp and on visiting
a camp of tramps close to Lancaster ex-
pressed his wish to one of the vagabonds
named Phil DAILY. Arnold Joined DAILY
and they tramped to Philadelphia, the
professional teaching the boy how to beg
and do other acts in order to secure food
From Philadelphia the two tramped to
West Chester and were captured in barn
by the police. They were taken to head
quarters and the boy admitted his
identity. A telegram was sent his parents
and on Sunday his father visited West
Chester and took him home. The tramp
was released,

Sale of the Appeal.

The Elkton Appeal has been sold
by VIM. Taylor, who purchased
the paper from VIM. X. Wright
over a year ago, to two young men
of Washington, D. O., James NJ.
Post and ID. e. Moores, who pro,
pose to enlarge the paper. Its
politics is to be republican. The
probability is that the Appeal of
the future will be a "sOund money!
organ. The gold trust is buying
up all the newspapers that it can
reach, not already in its service.
Every democrat paper in Chicago
has been bought up and turned
into "sound money! organ, and
every so-called ''independent"
daily wherever found is being COB
bled if gold can buy them.

Prohibitionists For Revenue Only.

The Port Deposit correspondent
of the Democrat understands"
that some thrifty parties in that
town who voted the prohibition
ticket against license" have laid
in a stock of liquors to sell on the
sly. Here is prospective business
for the Law and Order Committee
at the start. We have heard that
whiskey men intend making a bold
dash from the start to defy and
violate the law by selling without
license and trust to lying witnesses
and lenient law officers to escapeand
thus worry out the temperance
people.

Eighteen persons were united
with the Presbyterian Church,
Chesapeake City, ON Sunday morn
ing, April 81, three of the number
were also baptized.
Bishop Curtis delivered dis
course in the Catholic church here
on Sunday evening on the Virgin
Mary. A very fair audience in
addition to the members was
present.
George Scattergood a noted driver
committed suicide at Point Breeze
by shooting himself. He drove in
many races at Elkton fairs, and
was well known among the "hoss"
men of this county.
The teachers of the Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth districts will

Judge Stump's thoroughbred
young bull "Grover Cleveland"
was XII led by the cars near Wood
bum tower last Thursday. VIM.
A. Mackinson and son John were
driving it to the farm now occupied
by Mr.. Mackinson, when it became
nnruly and ran upon the track in
front of the shifting engine. The
tender of the engine was derailed
and the bull literally cut to pieces.
The animal was entitled to registry.
--Perryville Record.
The bulls actions resemble his
namesake's very much. IftheJ Judge
had named him German the cars
would have never ran over him.
There is strong party as the gold
ring or "honest money" party
headed by millionaire republicans
and democrats and steered by the
Rothschilds, Inkehimers, Rocka-
fellers and SIGH, who talk of taking
Grover to new pasture like the
unfortunate bull, but before he
gets across the track the free silver
shifting engine is sure to run over
him.
You will never catch German in
front of an engine. Not much!
Last summer his party in Maryland
read him out of the party for spoil
ing the Wilson bill. German
laughed in his sleeve. A few days
ago the party began to hunt for
itself and it couldn't be found.
German was sent for to show them
where to find it.
