A Famous Physician's Request to Record
Holmes Emotions on the Scaffold Is De-
MED.
PHILADELPHIA, April s.-Hundreds
of applications have been made to
Sheriff Clement for permission to wit
ness the execution of II. H.. Holmes,
who is to hang on May Tfor the killing
of Ben jamin +. Pietzel. The most in
teresting of these requests, is that OF
DIR. Arthur Macdonald, the head of the
psycho-neurologist department of the
national bureau of education in Wash
ington. DIR Macdonald. has a world
wide reputation. His study has been
among criminals, Science and inge-
nuity have contrived an instrument
which is known in scientific laborato
ries as the kymographion!. 1t is, forne4
cording, in visible lines, human emo
ton. With this machine the scientist
wishes to ascertain the emotions OF the
convicted murderer just before he goes
on the gallows.
Dr. Mcdonald wrote to Sheriff Glenn
ent and the inspectors, of the county
prison asking for permission to attend
the execution and experiment on the
murderer. He explained that itwas in
the interest of science and that he was
acting in his official capacity. But the
authorities have refused to grant. the
doctors request. Holmes was con-
suited and he declinedl to submit to
such examinations. The sheriff says
the prisoner is, entitled to a quiet,
peaceable hanging.
The time of the condemned man is
taken up chiefly with, efforts to- dis
pose of statement which he has writ
ten purporting to be artrue autobiogra-
ply, or ''confession," as, it is, called.
There was some lively bidding for this
document by New York newspapers.
One of them, it isreported, has secured
it for large sum-. and its publication
is looked for soon..

Lonsided Arcuments.

Silverites claim that u single stand
ard OF value is as unnatural as a one
legged man or one-winged bird, and
that the use of gold and silver to meas
ure values would be consistent with
mans use of two hands, two eyes and
two ears. The attempt to rest an argu-
mept on such dimsy foundation is
characteristic of free-coinage reason
ing. Yet it is for whimsical notions
like this that the voters are asked to
favor n revolution III the country's
financial system. There is no analogy
between the illustrations given by the
silverites and the selection of single
form of wealth by which to measure all
other property. Nature has not made
all things in pairs, else the free-coinage
advocates would have been supplied
with two heads, two noses, and, worst
of all, two tongues. In that case it
would have been impossible to estab-
lish parity between the volume of
circulating cheap-money talk and the
lung power of the average populist.
When farmer mows with two scythes,
chops with two axes, digs with two
spades and measures with two rules
each of different material, size OF
length, it will be time enough to try and
use two kinds of metal having different
values as means of measuring the
value of all commodities.

WAS A REAL STATESMAN.
Tho Late President Hippolyte's
Patriotic Work for Hayti.
He Ruled Wisely Over the Little Island
Nation of Negroes and Was a Truly
Great Man in His Sphere
Sketch of His Career.

Louis Moudcstin Florvil Hippolyte,
president of Huyti, who died recently,
was born at Cape Haytien, in the Island
of Hayti, in 1927. His mother was a ma
tive woman of almost pure African
descent; his father one of Soulouqui's
ministers. The boy had all the advan-
tagcs his native country afforded, and
grew into handsome and promising
youth. From the first he was of n
proud, aggressive nature, and naturally
became prominent in the movements
which serve as politics in the half-trop-
| ical land. He first attained distinction
in the civil war of 1865, where he was
the leader of the sanguinary revolt in
which Legitime was defeated. So sig
nal q success could not but give Hippo
lyte prominence which marked him
either for aJsassination or dominance,
and he was strong enough to escape the
former by achieving the latter.
For 25 years he was one of the fore
most men in the Haytian nation. and
did perhaps more than any other in
shaping it's policy and developing It's
resources. In October, 1889, he was
chosen acting president, and in the fol
lowing May his election was formally
confirmed. The term is seven years
of which he had served less than six
at the time of his death.
The status of affairs in the Haytiar
republic calls for the exercise of rea
craftsmanship. One of the chief prob
lens is the overcoming of lethargN
which prevents any real activity eScep
such as is developed at the time of I
revolution. But Hippolyte managed It
discourage lawlessness and to cultivate
in steady growth system which CAV
great promise of making his countr.
as prosperous as twas peaceful.
The population of the little republi
was $4,000 by n census taken in 1890
Native statesmen have recently place
their estimate at 100000; and the hop
of 100000 was warm in Hippolyte'
bosom in these later years. Nineteenth

summary of Crop Conditions.

CHICAGO, April s.-The reports as to
the condition of crops throughout the
country were made Tuesday by the di-
rectors of the several climate and crop
sections. Over the central and north
ern portions of the country tho season
is from two to three weeks late, in con-
sequence of which farm work has been
correspondingly delayed. The condi-
ton of winter wheat is poor in Vir'
pinia and Ohio, and fair in Illinois and
Kentucky. The recent freeze has
caused some injury to winter wheat in
Michigan. oat seeding is generally
well advanced in Abe states of the cen
tral valleys.

UTAH REPUBLICANS.

They Elect Six Anti Mckinley Delegates to
the Sc. Louis Conventional Strong Free
Silver Platform.
SALT LAKE, Utah, April s.-The re-
publican state convention to elect six
delegates to the national convention
was held here Tuesday. There were
$50 delegates in attendance and they
disposed of the business with rush
The platform adopted declares for the
free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 and for
protection and reciprocity, closing
with this clause: 1--WE ask our dele
gates to st. Louis to do their utmost to
secure in the national republican plat
form full acknowledgment of the i'm
perative need of return to real BIZ
metallism and a promise of its swift
adoption without regard to other ma
tions by opening our mints to the free
coinage of gold and silver at a ratio OF
16 to l."
The work of electing delegates was
then proceeded with, the ballot being
taken amid much excitement. 1t was
practically agreed by all factions be-
fore the convention was held that Sen
ator Cannon should be elected and lit
tie interest was paid to him, nearly the
entire vote going to him. Interest
really centered in the candidacy of Col
Isaac Trumbo, who came so near being
elected United States senator a short
. time ago. The old clique worked des
perately against him, but he was cho
sen, receiving the highest vote giver
any delegate outside of Senator Can
non. The convention went wild will
enthusiasm over Trumbo's triumph ant
he was loudly cheered. The other del
egates chosen were Senator Brown
Congressman Allen, Thomas Kearn
and w. S. Mccormick. The delegate
were not instructed, but they are soli'
for silver and against Mckinley. Th
impression prevails that the vote will
go to Allison.

There are some political evils which
are seen as soon as they are dangerous
and which alarm at once as well the
people as the government. Wars and
invasions, therefore, are not always the
most certain destroyers of national
prosperity. They come in no question
able shape. They announce their own
approach, and the general security is
preserved by the general alarm. Not
so with the evils of debased coin, n de-
prcciated paper currency or de-
pressed and falling public credit. These
insinuate themselves in the shape of
fallacies, accommodation. and relief.
They hold out the most fallacious hope
of any easy payment OF debts and q
lighter burden of taxation. - Daniel

WHY Abuse Gold?

The less courageous of the free coin.
age advocates pretend that they want
to use both gold and silver as meas
ures of value, and deny that they wish
to drive out gold. They call them
selves "bimetallists," yet demand the
coinage of silver at ratio so far above
its real value that gold would be at a
premium of nearly so per cent. AT
the same time they denounce gold as
the money of monopolists and bank
ers, declare that it is the enemy of the
people, and protest against the govern
ment keeping it's various forms OF
currency on parity with gold. No
reasonable man expects that gold would
remain in this country If it was at a
premium of 40 or 60 per cent, and it is
therefore certain that free coinage
would result in silver monometallism,
And that is the end toward which the
cheap metal agitators are really work
ing. But if they must pose as favoring
double standard, why do they always
abuse gold?

How sound Waves Move.

The speed with which sound waves
are transmitted through the atmo-
sphere depends on several conditions.
When the temperature is at 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, sounds move with speed
of 1000 feet per second, the velocity in
creasing with the temperature at the
rate of about one foot of speed per sec
ond for each degree above the freezing
point. Thea, again, in damp air sound
moves with greater velocity than it
does in dry air, no odds if the dry air be
warm and the damp cold. In water
sound moves more than four times as
fast as 1t does in air. or say at about
the rate Of 4,7oo feet per second.

LONDON, April s.-What might have
proved most serious accident oc-
Cured Monday on the railway from
Llanberris, at the foot of Mount Sno-
down, the highest mountain in Wales,
to the top of that mountain. The rail-
way was inaugurated then and the
first train reached the summit without
mishap, but when returning the engine
Jumped from the track on the part of
the line where the grade was the
steepest. The engine went over a
precipice and was smashed to pieces.
AS it left the rails the coupling broke,
and it was this alone that prevented a
frightful accident. The engineer and
stoker jumped and escaped. The cars
started down the grade at tremen-
dous speed, but fortunately they were
supplied with powerful brakes and
finally brought to standstill. In the
meantime some of the persons aboard
the train lost their heads and without
needing the warnings given them
jumped from the cars. They were al
severely injured.

Although modistes and ladies' tailors
are gradually reducing the volume OF
the huge sleeves of the season past and
the ultra circumference of spreading
skirts, the change is gradual, and we
still note the full sleeve that is no longer

of the present day effects accords inn

wonders what new idea will spring up
in connection with them. To insure
the perfect hang of skirt, it IS still
necessary to wear either moreen pet
ticoat beneath the silk-lined dress-skirt
or to line it, at least in the lower por-
ton, with genuine horse-hair cloth to
give it the requisite support without
stiffness, which is otherwise unobtain-
able. These Innings are comparatively
light, protecting the silk lining as well
as the dress material itself, and impart-
ing stylish cachet to the entire cos
tune. Next to silk lining, however,

clares that no proper steps will be left

was brought out by the launching of a
boom for the presidency of Congress-
man William S. Linton, of Michigan,
who has been the mouthpiece and
champion of that organization in the
house of representatives. 1t came
about by a snub administered to the
national board while it was in session
in Washington last week. The board
sent a letter to the managers of Nc
Kinley, Reed, Morton and Allison, in
viting them to appear before the board
and state their attitudes towards the
organization, as it intended to take a
hand in the national fight. All of the
managers but Hanna obeyed the sum-
mons and had long conferences with
the members of the board.

was sent to him and it brought reply
that Mckinley would recognize no fac

would make no pledges or promises to
any secret organization. This settled
his chances with the organization. 1t
was decided at once to fight the Ohio
candidate and resolution to that
effect was passed. Then the managers
of the other candidates were notified
of this action and that at the proper
