SING SING, N. Y, Aug. Orchard
Leach was electrocuted to-day for the
murder of his common law wife, Mary
ii. Leach, which occurred December IL,
1894. Leach was young man, a florist
by occupation. The woman was known
to have an unsavory reputation. There
were no sensational features con-
nected with the electrocution. Leach
met death as calmly as though it were
a common place affair. The execution
occupied about two minutes and
was completely successful. The
current was turned on at 11:16:40.
A convulsive Strengthening of each
limb and body followed by the
heightening color of the face were the
only external indications of the work

was at the full intensity of 1, 700 volts
and at the end of seven seconds the
current was reduced to 300 volts where
it remained forty-eight seconds, then
was shot up again to LOO volts for an

when DIR. Gibbs gave the signal to turn
it off it was increased suddenly to LOO

Near sheridan, ok.

WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 5.-Dick Yeager,
alias Zip Wyatt, the most daring des.
perado in the Indian territory, and for
years the terror of Oklahoma, was
captured yesterday near Sheridan, Ok,
after one of the most desperate fights
recorded in the criminal history of
Oklahoma. For over an hour he stood
out against the officers, who emptied
several shots into his body, and not
until both arms were rendered use
less were the officers able to capture
him. Physicians have dressed his
wounds and say he will live. He was
removed 10 the Garfield county Jail for
safe keeping. This breaks up the last

DECATUR, H., Aug. 6.-The attend
ance at the national prohibition camp
meeting, which closed here yesterday
evening, was about 10000. Nine ex-
cursion trains came in on various rail-

by Rev. Jasper L. Douthit, cf Shelby
vile. In the afternoon addresses were
made by Col. Eli F. Ritter, of Indianap-
oils, and Col. Nate A. Reed, of Chicago.
Col Ritter, who is considered the best
available candidate of the prohibition
party for president, made an argument
that the rights of the individual are
subject to the public welfare and on
that basis hopes to secure national pro-
hibition through the federal courts by
having the granting of dramshop Ii
censes declared unconstitutional. At
night Mrs Helen NJ. Parker, of Dakota,
national treasurer of the w. C. t. u,
delivered the closing address of the
meeting, which has been in session

forty infantry soldiers, charged the en-

and Chickasaws claim that the land
really belongs to them, and that the
Wichitas have only an occupancy
right in the land forming the reserva-
ton. The answer is a review of the
title OF the land, giving an abstract,

has occupied and also in whom the

REWARDS OF LITERATURE.
Number of Authors Earning Good In--
comes Larger than Ever.

Number of Authors Earning Good In--
comes Larger than Ever.
Not all Of the truly worthy authors OF.
past times have been condemned to PEN
ury and vagabonage. Some of them,
on the contrary, have acquired fortunes.
by reason Of the liberal compensation
they received for their work. Scott was,
paid for one of his novels at the rate of
$252 per day for the time employed in
writing it, and his total literary earn
ings aggregated $1,500,o0O. Byron got
$4,000 for "Childe Harold" and $4,000
for Don Juan" Moore sold "Lalla
Rookh'' for $15.750, and his Irish Melo-
dies" brought him $45,000. Gray received
only 5000 for his poems, and not cent
for the immortal "Elegy," out of which
the publisher made 1000; but that was
because he had an eccentric prejudice.
against taking money for writing.
Tennyson had an annual income Of from
$4,000 to $4,000 for many years.
though in the early part of his career,
when he wrote Maud" and "In Me
moriam," he realized next to nothing
Longfellow sold his first poems, includ-
ing some of his best ones, at very low
figures, but he lived to receive $4,000,
or $40 a line, for the Hanging of the
Crane" and when he died he was worth
$350,0O0. Whittier left an estate of $780,
900 and several Of the leading Americans
prose writer's have done quite as well.
These are exceptions, it is true, but
they serve to modify the general rule.
and to show that in cases Of superior
merit, literature has proved to be not
ably profitable.
It is safe to say that the present rates
of pay for literary work of good quality
are higher than those of any preceding
time, and that the number of persons
who are earning respectable incomes in
that way is larger than was ever before
known
