Stephen Girard.

Stephen Girard (died Dec. 26, 1S31) be- gan his remarkable trading career with one object. which he steadily kept in view all his long life-the making of money for the power it conferred. He practiced tho most rigid personal economy; he resisted all the alluroments of pleasure; he exacted tho last farthing that was due him, and he paid the last farthing that he owed he took every advantage which the law all lowed him in resisting Q claim; he used men just so far as they would accomplish his purpose ho paid his servants no moro than tho market price; he had no sense of hospitality, no friend to share his house or his table.
 Ho was devoted to tho improvement of his adopted city and country; he was determined follower of ostontatious char ity. No man ever applied to him for large public grant in vain, while the starv- ing beegar was invariably sent from his gate He steadily rose every morning be- foro tho lark, and unceasing labor was the daily worship of his lifo; he left his monument in the Girard college-that marble roofed palace for the education and protection of the orphan children of the poor which stands, tho most perfect model of architecture in tho now world, high above the buildings of Philadelphia Household Words, 1858.

THIRD AND LAST TIME et1 Gov. William 0. Oates Refuses to
 Interfere With the Law. teu- HAS. HAD AMPLE TIME
In Which to Prepare for Death. The Last Letter to Sheriff
 George M. Morrow.

Isham Eugene Byars will hang tomorrow at noon.
 A jury of twelve men said he was guilty of murder and should hang; the judge of the criminal court, in accordance with that | finding, sentenced him to hang; that sen- tence was affirmed by the supreme court and Governor Oates now declines to inter- fere with its execution.
 So Byars will pay the penalty of his crime and die the death of the murderer. Since the supreme court on the 20th of last Decem Der affirmed the finding of the lower courts great efforts have been made to secure pardon for Byars. Failing to secure that. an effort was then made to se- cure respite for thirty days or more. This Governor Oates declines to grant. And in accordance with tie sentence of the court Byars will be hanged tomorrow until he is dead.
 Dr. J. c. Morris went to Montgomery several days ago aud made personal ap- peal to Governor Oates for respite for Byars in order that the condemned man might have time in which to prepare for death. Judge Greene of the criminal court, in which tribunal Byars was tried, wrote the governor letter asking that the re- spite be gIa1ted, but neither effected the desired result.
 Sheriff Morrow was in Montgomery yes- terday and Governor Oates gave him the following letter:
 STATE OF ALABAMA, l
 EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR,
 MONTGOMERY, Feb. 6, 1895. J Dr. George M Morrow, Sheriff of Jefferson County, Alabama
 SIR: have duly considered all the appli- cations made to me to interfere with the sentence of the court iu the case of Eugene Byars. l have twice heretofore decided not to interfere. am now appealed to for pos,ponement ot .he day of ms execution for thirty days on the ground that he has not had sufficient time to prepare for death. find that the sentence of the court was affirmed by the supreme court on the 20th of December last, some six weeks ago, which has given him ample time to realize his situation, and must decline again to interfere with the sentence of the law. You will please communicate this fact to the prisoner, to Rev. Dr. Morris and to the relatives of the prisoner without delay. Yours very truly, VIM. c. OATES,
 B. Governor. Sheriff Morrow went to the county jail last nighusand read the above letter to Byars. Byars had but little to say and did not seem to be much affected by the con- tents of the letter. He is very quiet and shows but little indication of fear aJ his impending fate. He still declines to talk to the newspaper men and is very anxious that all reporters be kept away from the hanging.
 Everything is in readiness at the county jail for the execution of Byars. The gall lows upon which he will be hanged has done service eleven times already, the first man to be executed on 1t being Dick Hawes. A new rope had to be secured, and this was purchased several days ago and has been tested.

COUNCILMAN 1HRIFFILEY,


 ONE OF THE NEW ORLEANS BooDLERs,
 MUST COME TO TRIAL.
 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 6.-The next coun- cilmanic case which will come up for hear ing in the cour and agitate the public mind will be that of Francis B. Thrifiley of the Eighth district, which has been fixed for hearing in section B on Wednes- day, February 13, before Judge Noise.
 The indictment in which Thriffiley is made the defendant was returned by the celebrated William B. Bloomfield grand jury, and charges the accused with having feIouiously and corruptly proposed to re- ceive bribe of S7500 from Charles Mar shall, superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville road, in return for which the accused WAS to exercise the powers vested in him as a member of the city council with partiality and favor and in support of the passage of certain ordinances then pending before the city council granting provisions of laying and rearranging the tracks of that company on the levee, between Lafayette and Calliope streets.
 Thriffiiey was to have bsen arraigned on September 8, 1894, but the arraignment was deferred indefinitely. On January IA, 1895, the defendants ate torneys appeared in court with a motion to quash the indictment. but Judge Noise de- IIvered & writ;eu opinion in which the mo- ton was Iverruied and defendant ordered to plead. s1 Ihrffiiey accordingly appeared in sec tiou E on the 15ih instant, and pleading not guilty was discharged on his bond. ss

A Pretty Cog Dancer Who Was Afraid
 She Might Lose It.

A Pretty Cog Dancer Who Was Afraid
 She Might Lose It..
 There were several good and sufficient reasons why people should stop and look at her. She was young and pretty, was as trim as a whip from top to toes, the one being covered with soft brown hat hay ing an alpine plume of feathers stuck jauntily at the sido, and tho others being covered with snugly fitting shoes, with low, flat heels Yet pretty as the top was and it was decidedly pretty, with Its loose light hair, blue eyes and fresh checks it was the toes that attracted most at tention. She did not seem able to keep them still.
 It would be wrong, therefore, to say that she vas standing on Seventeenth street, near Union square, waiting for cross town car, but it is no offense against the pure spirit of journalistic veracity to say that that is whore she was seen.
 Soon the bootblacks lounging on the sidewalk saw her and her tripping feet and sat down on their little boxes to watch her or them. But the girl never noticed her visitors, and with her eyes Sntently fixed on her feet moved them briskly this way and that, two little flips to the left, two little slides to the right, her lips mean Wbio DioNihe ttS tuouSu bbo Woio Souhb- ing. Her hands hung straight at her sides, and her whole expression was one of seriousness and utter oblivion to her sur roundings.
 It was not long before the bootblacks were joined by somo men. Then one or two women halted Q moment, and soon there was quito crowd on the sidewalk a decent, orderly crowd Still the girl se riously footed it on tho crossing Then Broadway policeman saw the crowd and moved ponderously oyer to find out what the matter was. A flow shoves and pushes broke up the audience, and then tho po- liceman stepped up to tho girl and touched her with Lexowcsque gentleness on the shoulder.
 What arc ye either attractin attention in the strates.-miss?" he inquired.
 The girl stopped footing it and looked up with astonishmcnt Into tho officers face.
 Was I attracting attentionP" she in- quired. Indeed I'm very sorry, MT. Off cer; but, you see, I'm studying to be Q clog dancer. and I've just learned now step, and was so afraid I'd forget it be- fore got homo that guess must have been practicing it while was waiting for the car. And here is tho car, and excuse mo r."
 With that she got into the car, and as it progressed archaically along one could see the girls head bend down to watch her feet and knew that sho was still practicing the new step.-Now York Sun.

PIGEONS FOR PROFIT.
Directions for Raising the Birds on the
 


 Average Farm.
 There is too much loss among pig cons when they are allowed to fly over the whole neighborhood. Boys trap them, hawks and cats are on the look out for them, and the hunters will take chance shots at them when it can be done without risk. They may easily be confined, For fifty pairs have a house ab7ut ten by twenty feet, the upper story of some building being pre- ferred. The yard should be about twenty by fifty feet, not less than ten feet high. and covered on the top and sides with wire.
 One of the essential points in keep ing niaaoas T to have the sexes equal. If there i5 an extra male, he will make an attempt to secure . mate tro-a the other males, and thus break up the matings, as well as to keep the colony in perpe .ual turmoil, lie must be taken oat CT q n2ta for him must be procured rom elsewhere.
 Keep the house and yard clean, and place p34aty of litter on the floor for nest materials. Lice are very destruc- tive l. ri, eo1s, ass9 1nus5 never be al- lowc5 r. 1eca1ae established, as they will render tie flock unproitable.

 They will hatch and raise from six to ten pairs of squabs year, and the squads usually sell for about twenty five cents each. Old pigeons command no sale, being kept for breeding pur poses only.
 If kept in confinement, they vii thrive well as long as all their wants are supplied and lice are not allowed to overrun their quarters. Watel should always be plentiful, and roost should be placed here and there in th' yards at different heights, so as to per init them to enjoy the open air.-Farn and Fireside.
