The Condemned italian Murderer.


II anything more is to be done In
behalf OF the condemned Italian, Faino,
in the deathcell at New Castle jail, there
is little time to be lost. Governor Rsy-
nolds has only eight days In which to
sign the papers that will commute the
sentence Of death to one Of imprlson
ment for life II he does not deem It
his duty to act within that time --and 1t
is said that he certainly does not--then
the mercy, If any Is to be had, will have
to come from Governor Marvil Then
Faino's doom is sealed, for 1t is said that
Governor Marvil's inaugural address will
include q denunclation OF the present
unlimited pardorinR power which a
governor has In this state, on the ground
that where judges aud a disinterested
jury sift every witness and every line Of
evidence In a case coming up In our
courts, 1t is absurd to then appeal 1t to
one man who has had no opportunity to
acquaint himself with the case snd can
only hear an exaggerated defense.
There is much good sense In such q
view Of the matter There are few
executives, indeed, who can Withstand
the pleadings Of sympathetic friends,
weeping nelghbors and frantic relatives
as the hour Of execution approaches and
he knows the mans life is In his hands.
II a governor adopts this anti pardoning
policy at the beginning, friends Of
convicted men will not build upon any
leniency from him; twelve men of the
commonwealth will look well before they
leap, and great load Of responsibility
will be lifted from the chief executive.
As for Michael Faino, public opinion
greater than judge, jury and governor
combined-seems to ba evenly divided.
Hundreds Of prominent citizens believe
that no mercy should be shown this man,
now that he has had time to prepare to
meet bis God The fact that he left his
companion. Carlo Ruva, and, with
malice aforethought and with murder In
his heart. he went to his home, brought
out the death dealing knife, and
deliberately walked back to Ruva and
plunged II into his throat, WAS all plainly
shown in evidence. He did this TO a
wcountryman, not to a stranger.
What then would he have done to the
latter, perhaps city or COVER rnment
officer Might not such q bloodthirsty
fellow have proven a regular Prendsr-
gast or Guiteau2
Then, on the other hand, we have the
praying, pleading Italian, with human
feelings and thorough knowledge Of
his doom. There is no sign about this
repentant man. now, of insanity OF
wickedneHs. Nothing but remorse and
pleading. he realizes that in few days
he must be bound and led out OF hia
cell to the gallows, where rope and
rude coffin are in waiting.

The Problem of National Currency.
One Of the most important problems

Senator Hill Is reported to have declared

believe that he will, when the time

that 1t adds TO the volume Of notes left
free to drain the treasury, in that 1t per

The opposition to the income tax Is
based on the strongest possible grounds,
viz, that It Is unjustly ard inequltsbly
assessed Apart from the fact that 1t
divides the population into two classes
and taxes only those persons whose In
comes exceed $4,000 per annum, it Is
made insquitable in another way. for,
through the medium Of the tax on cor
poraticns. many persons whose incomes
amount TO less than $4,000 are singled
out for special taxation The law in
these respects, is doubtless unconstltu-
tionAl, and will be so declared, but not
for long time The easiest way Of

MISSING elRLs FOUND.
The Two Students Who Ran Away From
Mount Holyolse College on a Lark.

The Two Students Who Ran Away From
Mount Holyoise College on Lark.
SPRINGFfELD Mass, Jan. S.--The two
Mount Holyoke college girls who caused
their friends and relatives SO much anxiety
by running away from the college last
Thursday have been found, and with their
discovery comes out the whole history OF
their escapade.
1t was on Thursday noon that they dis
Rppeared-Miss Alice Cheeseborough, 2l,
and Miss Mabel Bird, ~ years Of age, Of
Chicago They were traced to this city,
where they attempted to get rooms at two
of the hotels. but without success. From
that Thursday afternoon until yesterday no
nows of them had been learned
1t seems that Miss Bird has become ae-
quainted during her stay in college with
Mr.. Burnett, a young man Of about %
years, unmarried and engaged in the sash
and blind business. Supposedly through
his influence and certainly with his knowl-
edge the girls left tho college and came to
this city, where lie met them later in the
day and took them to the home Of his
aunt Mrs Charles II. Ayers Of State
street. There they staid until Friday,
when Miss Cheescborough went home.
Miss Bird staid
Monday morning Mr. Burnett, beoom-
Ing alarmed at the publication Of the fact
that the girls were missing, decided TO get
himself out Of the scrape as far as possible
and went 10 the authorities of Mount
Holyoke college and told them that when
DR. Payne Of Chicago the girls foster fa-
ther, should arrive he would tell him
where to find her. This he did. and DR.
Payne went to the house and took the girl
away. They arc at the Cooley House and
will probably start back for Chicago to-
day, as Miss Bird says she will never go
back to the college.
There is no suspicion that the relations
of either girl with Burnett have been other
than proper. Their running away is looked
upon by friends and authorities alike as
simply piece Of girlish thoughtlessness.

GROWING Younp.

A 77-yea.-olG citizen of Great Falls.
Wash, is undergoing a peculiar pro-
cess OF physical regeneration. About
a year ago he contracted pneumonia,
aud his life was for sometime despair
ed of, the doctors saying his right
lung was hopelessly wasted. He re-
covered. however; but when just able
to hobble about he fell and broke his
thigh bone, and was confined to the
hospital again for six months. Since
leaving, however, his physical condi-
tion has improved remarkably. His
lungs began to open up until they
become almost as well as ever; his
skin shed off aud new skin grew.
and hair and beard which was snow
white, are coming out jet black.
His limbs and muscles have limbered
up. and he started a week or so since,
to take herd Of young horses across
a long trail to market He says, if
he continues to grow young, he will
get married again and grow up with
the country.

Pianist yer.us Mumn Man.

There was curious little incident
at Saturdays Pop. 1t was a struggle
between a pianist and a mufin man.
The pianist was on the platform; the
muffin man was in the street. The
name Of the former was Sauer: the
muffin mans name has not appeared.
Herr Sauer went in first and led of
with the opening bars OF a Chopin fan
tasia. Then the muffin man began and
continued. His note was monotonous
but penetrating, and In the presence of
a very large audience the German
frankly admitted defeat by taking his
hand from the keyboard. A few more
peals from the bell just emphasized VIC
tory; the sound grew feebfer and more
distant and then the fantasia was re-
sumed. Some people like music and
others like muffins. Certainly it should
be arranged between this and next Sat-
urday which is to have the dominion
at st. James hall.

Another Collector.

In all places there arc cranks who
pick up things they do not need-all
sorts OF bric-a-brac, stamps. pictures
and what not--and they are usually
called collectors. Philadelphia has a
harmless, white-haired old man who
goes all over town searching for hair
pins. His eyes are bright and pierre
ing, and as he walks up and down the
prominent thoroughfares it is safe to
say that hardly a hairpin escapes his
keen gaze. What becomes of the
large assortment he picks up, nobody
knows. for, although he has been
asked his object several times, he re-
fuses to tell. The old man is well
dressed. and his appearance indicates
that be is cared for by loving hands.
Happy old man! He is satisfied with
the hairpins, and should not be denied
his pleasure.
