Iiut Two OF the Mon Were Rcspited.
Chicago, May l5.--To.day, for the
first time since tho execution of the
| Haymarket Anarchists, a double hang
| ing was ON the schedule in the county
jail. Tho condemned men were Alfred
| q. Fields, negro convicted of the
murder of Mrs, Ellen Randolph. and
Joseph Windrath, German convicted
of the murder of Carey Il. Birch. It
was to have been triple hanging, but
Gov. Altgeld yesterday gave a respite
to Me. Marsden. convicted of the MUIR
der of Fritz Holzhuetter, butcher
Fields was apparently unconcerned
last night and slept soundly. Windrath
did not get any sleep until long after
midnight. He, however, ceased the
raving which he had kept up for the
last three or four days and apoogized
10 the guards for tho trouble he had
given them, but protested that he was
innocent When his wife left tho Jail
he cried hystdrically for nearly an hour.
Then Fathers Dore and Finn were ad
mitted and prayed with him. When
they had gone ne lay down upon the
couch in the death chamber and, with
eyes staring at tho coiliGg, remained
unmoved.
Fieds, according to his own con
fession, made under oath in court,
committed particularly horrifying
murder. On the night of February
Goth last he had a quarrel with Mrs.
Randolph, wife Of Pullman car porter,
at her rooms on Dearborn street. He
beat her head into pulp with Hat
iron and then set fire TO tho place, after
having stolen so from buren, drawer
Tho fire was discovered and extin-
guished before the body of his victim
had been burned. Fields boldly pro-
tested his innocence until his trial
began. Then he began clean breast
OF the murder. Upon this confession,
which, however,, was not made until
his guilt had been clearly established,
he was sentenced to be hanged.
IL was early in the morning, June
23d last, that Windrath, with Julius
| Mannow, an eX.convict, entered the
Office of Mr.. Birch, money receiver for
| tho Chicago Railway Co. at the Armi-
tage avenue station. Both were masked
and, with drawn revoters, ordered
| him TO hand out the money in his
| charge. He took roy Oliver from tho
| desk at which he was sitting and fired
| at the masked robbers. AT least n
dozen shots were exchanged. Birch
foil, pierced by three bullets. The
robbers gathered up $685. and fed,
While on trial Mannow made a com
plete confession. The wife of Windrath
pleaded with him to confess and throw
himself upon the mercy of the court.
This he refused to do and he had since
maintained his innocence. At the
time of his sentence no frequently in
terruptod the judge with flippant and
impudent expression. A few day ago
he began TO rave and repeatedly shouted
chang up Mannow. Every effort
possible was made to have his eSecu
tion stayed on the plea that he was
insane. Gov. Altgeld refused to inter
fere, as neither the judge who pre-
sided nor the State's attorney believed
the condemned man to be out of his
mind. Mannow has not yet been SEN
| fenced.

HARD FIGHT FOR MORlARlTY.
A Lively ii-rcund sparring match Mt Il
Bijuu Theatre.

Lively li-round Sparring Match Mt the
Bijou Theatre.
y. j.. Moriarity, local pugiliat. and
Frank Franey of Buffalo put up a great
ll-round fight ut the Biiou Theatre
Thursday. The contest was ono Of tho
hardest Moriarity ever had in viii
mington. Franoy Is worthy opponent
and was as strong as an OK at the finish.
1t was nearly II O'Clock when the
mon appeared on the stage TO go on
with their bout. Both men were in
iine condition, Franey being slightly
heavier.
After some lively sparring tho men
went 10 their corners with Moriarity
having the best of the round. The
second was about even. Moriarity
started business in the third by hitting
traney ON the side OF the head, but rot
lust as hard blow over the heart In
return. Franey did the rushing and
landed several times over Moriarity's
heart This was Franey's round.
Moriarity drew first blood In the fourth,
and the round was his. Both fought
very hard in the fifth and sixth, and
Moriarity showed signs of weakening.
The seventh was Franey's he doing all
the lighting. Franey was knocked
down in the ninth, but it did not seem
to take any of the fight out of him, as
he was up in moment and at ii again.
Moriarity tried hard to get at the point
of Franey's chin, but he held his head
so low Moriarity could not get near
1T. Franey forced the fighting in the
10th aud 18th, each man scoring a
knock down in the last round. When
this round was over Referee Dillon an
nounced that the mon had agreed that
II both were on thoir feet at tho finish,
the fight should be decided draw.
Previous to the star event of the
evening there were four other bouts.
The first was a 10.round bout between
George Russell of New Castle and
George Fisher of this city. This match
seemed unequal, as Russell was much
taller and had longer reach than
Fisher. Fisher put up good fight,
but it was plainly seen that Russell
did not try TO rush matters and the
bout was decided draw. The next
was for three rounds between Jack
Daley, Jr, and Charles Lee, two small
boys, and Daley won. Then the Della
ware Cyclone" and the "Black Won
DER tried conclusions for six rounds
and the Cyclone got tho decision.
midget" Glynn and John Farrell Of
Baltimore put up four fast rounds.
Farrell, although only boy, had the
best of the first two rounds. In the
third Glynn drew blood In the fourth
Farrell made good fight Glynn got

The Treasury refused TO sell it for

a pattern of the same coin in brass,
struck TO try the die, was sold not long
ago for Sl5
Three quarter dollars in copper, cor
responding to the regular silver issue
Of 1927, are known 10 exist. They are
worth $50 each. In 1852 few patterns
were struck for ring dollar" us it
was called, which was of gold with a
large hole in the centre OF it. Thus
the coin was bigger than an ordinary
gold dollar and more easily handled.
1t might be convenient, too, to string
such dollars after the fashion Of Chi,
nese cash, from which tho idea
was doubtless taken. However, the
ring dollar was not considered worth
adopting. 1t was hardly so extraor-
binary as the So called "goloid" coins
of 1879 They were intended to afford
a compromise between silver and gold
as monetary standards. There was a
81 piece of gold, dollar of silver con
tanning a few grains of gold, and a
smaller dollar with less silver and more
gold.
Twenty copies of each of these pro-
posed pieces were struck. For time
the market price of a set Of three was
500. But the illsa excited much
popular interest, and 5S6 additional
sets were minted, in order that certain
officials and each member of Congress
should possess specimens. Thus the
market was broken, and one can pur-
chase the three goloid coins for $40.
The mints furnish proof coins to any
one who wants them. They are made
for the benefit of collectors, and 10
finish are far superior to the every day
pieces. They are struck not in the
ordinary fashion by machinery, but
with hand presses. The dies are
specially cut for the purpose, and care
fully FURNISHED, so as to be as smooth
and clean as possible. Furthermore,
the plancbets or BLANKS" of metal
are Furnished before they are put
under the dies. The coin thus pro.
duced is beautifully bright with q
surface that is actually mirror like.
Such pieces are kent by collectors in
little pockets of buckskin, in order that
they may not suffer the slightest tar
nish.
The minis have turned out these
proof coins to order for the last A.
years. However, they will furnish only
those of the date of the current year
no back number specimens are sold
under any condition. You NAV buy a
set of proof pieces for 1896 for s.. 80
These include the dollar, half dollar
quarter dollar, dime, nickel and cent
The total face value of the pieces mon
toned is 81. 81, so that you pay only 50
cents for the accommodation. Since
1863 all coin dies used by the mints
have been destroyed at the end of each
year.

The boy who's always wishing
That this or that might be.
But never tries his mettle,
Is the boy that's bound to see
His plans all come to failure,
Ills homes end In defeat,
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail to meet.
The boy who wishes this thing
Or that thing with will
That spurs him on to action
And keeps him trying still
When effort meets with failure
viii some day surely win,
For he works out what he wishes
And that's where "luck" comes in!
The "luck' that / believe in
Is that which comes with work,
And no one ever finds II
Who's content to wish and shirk.
The men the world calls lucky"
VIII tell you, every one,
That success comes. not by wishing,
But by hard work, bravely done.

AMERICAN Economist: This is the
second anniversary of the day that the
German tariff became law through the
cowardly connivance, of President
Cleveland, who was ashamed to sign
it and not brave American enough to
veto it. Let us hope that the third an
niversary of it's existence will never
be reached, but thai the people will,
in November, demand it's Immediate
repeal by giving an overwhelming
vote for President Mckinley. The
future tariff policy of the United
States is in the hands of the people.
Let it rather be protection and pros
perity than free trade and slave trade.

RARE DAN ANDERSON

Our sister county of Isanti cannot
boast of a better-informed or more
thoroughly conscientious man than
Hon. Daniel Anderson. He served his
adopted country we'll and faithfully as
a private soldier in the ranks of the
defenders of the Union: he has thrice
represented his district in the State
legislature; he has acceptably filled
important town, village and county
offices and is now serving his third
term as county auditor. His honesty
and integrity has never been ques-
toned, and he is held in hi h esteem
by men of all parties in his county.
Mr.. Anderson is not money-loaner
or the owner of a dallar's worth of
bank or mining stock. He is an indie
pendent intelligent thinker, but, unlike
the curb-stone politicians and bar
room loafers, he does not profess to
know all about the silver question.
In response to an inquiry from the en-
terprising Minneapolis Journal, he
writes: '.,1...'.@ ~ e.
From what deem the most reliable sources
OF information in my reach, it seems to me
that the financial policy of the Republican
party is by far more logical, and better sus-
tanned by past experience than the theories
and claims advanced by the is to advocates
While candor compels me to concede my own
| Ignorance in regard to the money question. it
tires my whole system to encounter men, some
| OF whom were not yet born when so ma nv of
us were carrying arms in defense Of the Union

| foreign lands, who, without any known adj
vantages OF information or superiority OF judg-
ment, have become so pregnant with knowl-
| edge OF craftsmanship and financiering that in
comparison all our. presidents secretaries OF
state or treasury, comptroller OF currency, past
and present, and lifelong fnanciers generally.

AND now an effort is being made to
prove that last March Bryan made a
speech in which he said: II am neither
a Democrat, Populist or republican. :"
This is Mr.. Lind's platform, says the
Minneapolis Tribune, and the one upon
which he asks Democrats, Populists
and Republicans to vote for him. He
can declare himself absolutely nothing,
with no party claim upon anyone, and
invite other people to recognize him as
their salvation. He is likely to be in a
condition which will be beyond recog-
milton, before such period arrives.

THE Verndale Journal sets the peo-

with the following: How much sober
sense and true wisdom there is in the
gush OF Charlie Towne's eloquence
and how lightly in sits upon his own
mind as it glibly flows from his

that he has embraced the very 'demo-

infatuation" which he denounced in
