a way to keep waterlnelons in an edible

his Christmas dinner, another did duty
as desert yesterday at a dinner given
to several of his friends, who found it
as nice and finely favored as any mel

aged 80 years, 6 months and 9 days.
For some years past her health was

months she was called to pass through
severe suffering. Born in Carvln
county, Ireland, October 18th, 1916.
When Is years of age she came to
this country and for SO years she has
lived in Henry country. She knew
something of the tolls and privations
of pioneer life.
Some 80 years ago the companion
of her youth was called to the spirit
world, and with children dependent
on the care of her, whose health at
best was only moderate; it required
real effort to keep want from the
door. Early in life she became a

away with full faith in Christ as hel
saviour.

FLED IN HORROR
FROM THE AWFUL SCENEOI
HIS OWN BRUTALITY.
Savagery' of Spanish Hirelings
in Havana.

HAVANA, April Never in mod
ern times has there been a more sick.
ming spectacle than that which attend
ed the public execution of five Gu
bans. The men had been condemned
to death by the garrote as murder
ers, violator and incendiaries.
Troops were drawn up in hollw
square and in the middle were placed
the chair and post, Ruiz, the public
executioner, had deputized an assist
ant to conduct the affair. The con-
demned men having received she Of
fees of the church, were brought into
the square to meet their fate. One of
them had confessed his guilt and af-
firmed the innocence of all the others,
who also protested that they were
guiltless. The first man to die took
his seat in the chair calmly; the iron
collar was fixed about his neck and
the cap drawn over his face, then the
executioner undertook to apply the
screws, but was so excited that his
hand slipped repeatedly, with the re-
suit the victim died by slow strangu-
lation, emitting the while the most
distressing cries.
The second execution was accomp-
lished with even more distressing
awkwardness and delay, the execu.
toner being almost on the verge of
collapse as be performed his horrible
function. The protests Of the officers
and priests forced Ruiz to undertake
the third execution, but he did little
better than his assistant had done.
The fourth victim of bungiing gar
roters was likewise tortured, and then
Ruiz fled from his post, leaving his
assistants to put to death the fifth of
the unfortunate Cubans, who escaped
none Of the agonizing experiences
that had attended the execution of his
fellows.
The whole affair has left upon
those who witnessed it, and upon
those to whom it has been described,
o feeling of the utmost horror.

The Republican State Convention
resolved in the words.
'We contend for honest money; for
a currency Of gold, silver and paper
with which to measure our exchanges

ment and as untarnished as its honor.
This is mere babbllng. 1t is simply
buncomb phraseology. The next
words are:
And to that end we favor blmetal-
lism, and demand the use of both gold
and silver as standard money, either
in accordance with ratio fixed by ar
international agreement, or under
such restrictions and such provisions
to be determined by the legislations
as will secure the maintenance of the
PARTIES of values of the two metals

times equal

They might use silver for subsidiary

nounced in the resolution.
Now, let us state the plain facts il
few plain words. This ambiguous
resolution was written to throw dust
in the eyes of the silver men in The
Republican rarty. They want thu

them to the polls and vote, without
knowing exactly what they are doing

Sir John Millais,

Sir John Millais attains the highest
point of an artists career at the age of 67.
1t is now AZ years since his election to an
associateship. He was then one of the
youngest artists who had ever gained an
entrance into the academy. He drew as
soon as his fingers could hold a pencil, and
the precocity of his talents excited general
admiration in Jersey. His mother brought
the little lad up to London and sought the
opinion of Sir Martin Archer Shee, then
president of the academy. Madam, :"
said Sir Martin, ''you had better bring
him up to be chimney sweeper" Sure
ly, sir, +" replied the mother, "you will
look at his drawings?" Sir Martin did
SO. After giving careful attention to its
contents, he turned to the aspirant, laid a
hand upon his head, and, looking him
steadfastly in the face, said: "You did all
these drawings yourself, my little mani"
The child was too frightened to answer,
but his air and manner spoke for him.
Madam" said the great man, "it is
your duty to bring the boy up to art" Sir
Johns baronetcy was conferred upon hin.
in 1885, and his troops of admirers think
1t not unlikely that higher honors may be
conferred upon him.-St. James Gazette.

ILLINOIS FARMER SUSPECTED
OF THREE MURDERS.
Hired Hands Were The Victims.
INVESTIGATION FOLLOWS n.
F. BASTIANS SUICIDE.
One Body Has Been Found on His
Farm and the Authorities Bx-
pect to Locate Others.

Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, April 2.-The
remains of John Lauderbach, a farm
hand on the premises of Henry F.
Bastian, were discovered yesterday
by the sheriff under pile of rubbish
few rods from the corncrib on the
Place. The investigation was started
by Sheriff Heminway in response to
suspicious that Bastian, who commit
ted suicide March l3 last, had murd-
cred one or more of his hired men.
A week before Bastian's suicide
Fred Kuschmann, who, it reported
by Bastian, had been paid off that
day, was found dead on the highway,
and corners jury returned verdict
of accidental death, basing it on evil
dence given by Bastlsn. Later de-
velopments established the theory of
murder, and suspicion pointed to
Bastian. The suicide followed. Then
it was revealed that John Lauderbach,
who worked for Bastian, and Fritz
Kreinsen and Marshall Lewis, who
had been employed by Bastian two
years previous, had each in turn dis
appeared and no trace could be found
of any of them.
The sheriff has taken possession of
the place and will search for other
bodies. Lauderbachs body had been
buried about a year, which tallies
with the time he was last seen. The
skull was factured in several places,
aud the injuries are much the same
those inflicted on Kuschmann, which
was at first attributed to horses hoofs.
Bastian's method seems to have been
to have Systematically disposed Of his
men at the end of their years service
when their wages were due.
Bastian came of good family. He
married into one of the wealthiest
families in the county, and his appar-
emily unassuming, quiet way of living
had won the confidence Of the COM
munity in which he had spent ..all his
life.
He was p years of age, and the
disclosure may lead to other startling
developments in the way of the ap-
prehension of people with guilty
knowledge of his transactions Proofs
of numerous instances of forgery on
his part have come to light, and the
crime of arson is also at his door. ss ss,
