An Ancient lever.

Two remarkable cases of longevity were
recalled recently by a conversation be-
tween several gentlemen in this city, says
the Sheibyville Gazette" They were
discussing the death of Rev. George Nc
Cali, the veteran Baptist. preacher, when
it was automatically stated that Mr.. Nc
Calls great-grandfather lived TO the ripe
old age of III years. He was a bachelor
at 100 and took a notion to get married.
lie carried out his idea and was married.
Three sons were born to him. and he
lived to see the oldest son old enough to
vote.
This was considered remarkable, but a
gentleman in the crowd, whose character
and standing, religiously and socially. are
above ~reproaeh. told an authentic ac-
count of the life of his great-uncle, who
was one of Georgia's pioneer citizens.
This old gentleman lived to be 100 years
old. He lived in a log cabin in the north
ern end of which was cut a square hole.
man turned the head of his bed to
that hole and slept that way in the warm
est and coolest weather.. His wife died
when he was about ninety years old. and
for many years he lived at a widower. AT
the age of lis he cut IN entirely new set
of teeth, and at the age of 1913 one morn
ing saddled his own horse, sprang into the
saddle and rode thirty miles to address a
widow and ask her to be his wife. He
evidently was rejected, for he rode back
that day and lived seven years longer.

Alice Jones was employed by a John

Thai was a very nice little bill their
Honors. Wilbur A. Mott and Herbert
Potts, engineered through the Legislature
in the closing hours of the session. 1t
was SO unselfish, and it showed such a
deep respect for the popular will, as as
serted in the ballot, that it stands pre-
eminent as one of the most truly Republic
can enactments of the session.
The bill. after a number of unimportant
matters. which were merely put in to
cover up the joker. provides that, when
a police justice fails to complete his term,
bis successor shall be appointed, not for
he u~nexpired term but for a full term.
4 The meaning of this is that Messrs.
Mott and Potts have sized up the politi-
cal situation in Newark and Jersey City
and made up their minds that the Republi-
can jig is up. They foresee that
the next Mayors of these cities
will be Democrats. This being
SO. the successors of Messrs. Mott and
Potts would also be Democrats. and these
enterprising s'jurists'' would have to lie IN
the CORY field outside the b~reastworks''
with the rest of the boys.
The little bill prevents all that. Now.
when the Democratic Mayors are elected,
Messrs. Mott and Potts can put in their
designations and be Immediately reap
pointed for fun terms by Mayors Leb-
kuecher and wanser, and thus continue
to hold office until the Democracy regains
control of the Legislature.

A New Argument fer Scuba Efbre..
A beautiful example of wspap logic
was displayed by the World" yesterday
in printing a full page picture of ar
execution by the garrote as an argument
way Cuba should be free. The victim,
was supposed to be a Cuban rebel, and
the scene the space before the walls Of
the Moro Castle. There were aSnum-
Der of interviews with Congressional and
other idiots, who said that such occur
rences justified the Interference of other
nations to put an end to the war"
meaning by, that to put an end to Spain'a
immemorial ownership of the Island.
The g-rotesqueness of the argument
hardly needs pointing out. The picture
as given in the World was horrible,
so horrible that no doubt it will cause
many thousands more people to exclude
the sheet from their homes. But is any
picture of any execution anything but
horrible. This one was not a whit more
gshastly than the pictures of electrocu-
tion-that super-civilized invention of
New York-which the same paper runs
into its columns ON the least possible
p~rovocation.
AS a matter of fact the garrote, if not
exactly "a .refned method of INJECTING
the death penalty. is at least a merciful
49,.
one. 1t is instantaneous. AS the victim
is all covered up. it is no more shocking
to the spectators than any other. There
is no bloodshed as with the guillotine,
nor is the spectacle anything like as hor-
rible as that of a man dangling from a
rope. The point Of attack is the juno
ton between the spine and the brain, so
that the interval between the application
OF the instrument of death and death 1t.
self is imperceptible.
FINALLY, this form of punishment is the
ordinary one in Spain. Ut is not specially
directed against Cuban rebels. It is the
fate of all malefactors in the island and
in the home country. 1t affords as much
excuse for interference in Spanish affairs
as the guinotine would for an attempt
to ecivilize'' France. or as the electric
chair would for British interference in
the affairs of New York State. 1t is
| simply a new example of the cheap and
vulgar s-ensationalism which is being
made do dffy for fact and reason I'M the
discussion of this whole Cuban question.

Jones? Let us suppose another case.
Suppose an Englishman should murder
an American in New York. and should
eseape % his own country, would we
OF would we not expect the British Gov
eminent to surrender him2
But why look for fictitious eases, when
weFShave so good an example in real life
as the Seratto-Morelio murder case. Mr..
Seratto came into this State from New
York, where he lived, and committed
murder. He returned to New York, and
was found there. He was surrendered
to the police of this State without hest
tation, and he is now at Trenton, pay
ing the penalty of his crime. What
would we have Thought if the New
York people had made any objection to
s~urrendering him?
Governor Griggs' position, if the Her
ald' is right about it, Is not only ira
makes the State the accomplish and the
protector of crime. 1t establishes a sys-
TEN under which the evilly disposed in
habitants of one State may constantly
prey upon their neighbors and find sane
tuary. simply by returning home.
Mr.. Griggs would do well to read the
Federal Constitution. 1t is pretty ex-
plicit when lit says
A person charged in any State with
treason, felony or other crime, who shall
fee from justice and be found in another
State, shall. on demand of the Executive
authority of the State from which he
fed. be delivered up, to be removed to
the State having jurisdiction of the
crime.
There is also a section which says
Full faith credit shall be given in
each State to the public acts, records
and judicial proceedings of every other
State.
The New York District Attorney should
carry the cas- to the United States
courts. which would very soon compel
Mr.. Griggs to do his duty.
