IT CAUSED SURPRISE
Sentence of Death on Johan-
neSburg Reform erS Was
Unexpected.
Strong Feeling Prevalent That
Condemned Men May
Yet Escape.
Petition Circulated at WASH
lngton for Release of
Hammond.

LONDON, April 29.-While the an
nouncement made in the house of COM
mons that four of the Johannesburg
reform committee had been sentenced
to death for high treason caused a sen-
sation both inside and outside of par
lament and was earnestly discussed in
the lobbies, where it is thought to have
increased the gravity in affairs in South
Africa, there is an inner ring of poll
ticians who are inclined to think the
whole thing is the result of deal be-
tween the prisoners and the Boer au-
thorities and that the former obtained
the assurance that their sentences
would be committed before they plead
cd guilty to the charge of high treason.
OF the condemned men, Mr.. John
Hays Hammond, manager of the De
Beers mine, is an American; Francis
Rhodes is brother of Cecil Rhodes;
Percy Farrar is newspaper proprietor
and Lionel Phillips is president of the
chamber of mines of Johannesburg.

Dakota is now threshed; late threshings
show poor quality and great shrnkage in
quantity. Receipts will not fall off much
within the next few weeks as country ele-
vators are not able to hold a buShel, and
farmers are obliged to sell wheat to meet
their obligations regardless of prices. There
is no more wheat in North Dakota than is

the market displayed a decided broadening

any other individual stock in extent of

last mentioned stock the industrials were
materially outclassed in point of interest
by the railway list. The market worked
up to aggressive strength, particularly in
the late dealings, although London prices
were disappointing, and the foreigners aft
er early fairly liberal purchases took to
selling Other temporarily depressing in
fluences were stringency in call money,
rates ranging up to 10 per cent, but closing
at 6, and an unfavorable exhibit of the
earnings for September by the st. Paul.

gross earnings of s2o4, and a decrease
in net of s334, ,252. The closing was strong
at the highest prices of the day. The bond
market also exhibited a tendency to hard

THE NEW GAS METER.
Penny-in-the-SlOt Machine In Filling

Penny-in-the-SlOt Machine In Filling
aPublic Want and Is q Success.
From the New York Journal.
The penny-in-the-slot gas meters have not
yet reached New York. but they have
spread within the last three or four years
throughout London, and have found their
way into every large city in England. The
reports of meetings Of gas companies and
of corporations owning gas works that are
published there from day to day show that
the demand for them continues almost un-
abated. During the past year alone one Lon
don gas company has sent out more than
$1,000 of these meters. A few months ago
the demand was SO very great, and the
metermakers SO little able to meet it tlat
for a while. Now the demand Is as great
as ever. Another London company-the
South Metropohtan-has sent out during the
past four years no less than 1000 Of this
class of meters.
In Manchester penny-in-the-slot meters
are being sent out at the rate Of from 800 to
1000 amonth. and in Liverpool. Birming-
ham and other northern cities the demand
Is equally great.
These machines, which are really q boon
to small households, and a corresponding
trial to small dealers in wood and coal and
burning oil, are now being made proof
against human guile. The gas companies
through long experience have become wary.

HER GOOD ADVICE.
A Sensible Wife Tells Her Husband
How Best to Resent nm Insult.

A Sensible Wife Tells Her Husband
How Rest to Resent nm Insult.
From the Washington Star.
There Is q man on Capitol hill who has
a wife of the best type. but, like a good
many husbands with that kind Of wives. he
doesn't always appreciate her at her true
value. However. when he does appreciate
her he appreciates her almost enough to
make up for lost time.
Well. this husband had been insulted;
outrageously insulted, as he thought,
being sensitive man and Of fiery temper,
and he was burning with a spirit Of re-
venge.
He had thought of resorting to violent
measures in defense of his sacred honor,
but a second sober thought came to him
Of his dependent wife and children, and
for their sake he stayed the avenging
hand.
Again, he thought Of appealing to the
law, but that seemed cowardiy. to his
highborn spirit. and he set it aside as i'm
possible.
All day the insult rankled in his bosom.
and when the shades Of evening had come
and he wended his way homeward he was
in a condition Of the most irremediable in
dignation.
He had some kind Of a vague idea that
night of sleep might heal the wound. but,
that failing. blood alone could make atone
ment.
AS he neared home. thinking every Sec
ond Of what he would. could or must do,
he happened to think of his wife, and it
dawned upon him like a sunburst that she
