SCRANTON MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY,

when the empty mother arms slal
hold the loved ones in their cmbrac,
once more.
Memory and Hope Gods divines,
gifts. The one enables US to SEE
wherein we have failed and why; the
other, with resolution at It's heels
permits us to enjoy success which will
he achieved by and by. The one fixes
your fearful eyes on the happy days
that are gone, while the present partly
obliteratcs itself; the other points To
the days that are to be, from which
you can borrow needed strength for
the sorrows you are now bearing.
New Years Day reminds us OF a
thousand facts, and all WORTH cOnsid-
ering, namely -
That the evil we have done in the
name Of pleasure or of profit has never
paid as you expected it to do, and
never will.
That bad habit is simply a sled on
which you are coasting down hill, and
the uphill road must be Travelled
sooner or later.
That you know your duty without
being told, and that you must either
do it or take the consequences.
That the sorrows you have borne or
are bearing are intended to discipline
and refine your nature, and il they fail
in doing this the purpose Of God is
being thwartcd.
That time is rolling rapidly away,
and you must make ready for the
change or it will take you by surprise.
That heaven is il great deal closer
than we have been taught to believe,
and we may reasonably look forward
to the hour when we shall be clothed
upon with spiritual body and meet
our dear ones in that house not made
with hands, never again to know sep

THE TONGUE.

The following story Is told by the
Jewish Rabbid to illustrate the great
power of the tongue for good or for
evil;
"a certain man sent his servant to
market to buy some good food. The
servant returned, bringing with him
some tongues. Again he sent the
same servant to buy some bad food.
The servant again brought tongues.
"'The master said: What Is the
reason, that when sent you to buy
good and bad food, you brought
tongues? The servant answered :
From the tongue both good and evil
come TO man. II it be good, there IL
nothing better; II it be bad, there IL
nothing worse"

WE DON'T VOTE FOR PRESI-
DENTS.

"We are in the habit of speaking OF
the presidential election as taking
place on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in every fourth year,
but in fact no vote is gwen for presi-
dent and vice-preSident at that time
at ALL" writes cx-Pfesident Harrison
in February Ladies Home Journal.
"The names of the party nominees
for president and vIcc-president are
printed on the ballots. but in fact no
voter votes or can vote for them. He
votes for certain men whose names
are on the ticket as electors: and, by
the act of February 3, 1881, these men
assemble in each State at the capital
on the second Monday of January and
vote for a president and vice prsei-
dent. These votes from each State
are sealed and sent in duplicate to the
president of the United States Senate
one copy by mail and the other by
special messenger. So that, in fact,
our president is elected on the second
Monday of January in every fourth
year, though we are not in doubt as
to who is to be. chosen, because the
electors are morally bound by the
nomination in convention" Should
an clect0r fail to vote for the nominee
Of his party, General Harrison ayers,
he would become an object of general
cxccration, and in times of very high
excitement might be the subject Of
lynching.

There Is a beautiful old legend that
at creations dawn an angel came
down to earth, seeking something to
take back with 1t to heaven. 1t re-
turned with bouquet OF flowers, a
baby's smile and mothers love.
When it reached the pearly gates of
paradise again the flowers had wther-
ed, the baby's smile had vanished, but
the mothers love was found to be as
pure and eternal as the waters that
flowed by the heavenly throne, and all
the angels exclaimed: "There is moth
ing on earth pure enough for heaven
but a mothers lovew What u sublime
thought and holy moral this old leg
end illustrates and teaches to mortal
creatures.

SHE HAD SUCCEEDED.

In the west, three brothers, who
were preachers, made visit to their
mother. One OF them said: "Do you
not think, mother, that you ruled us
with too rigid rod in our boyhood :
1t would have been better, l think,
had you used gentler methods" The
old lady rose to her full height and re-
piled: swell, William, when you have
raised up three as good preachers as ]
have, then you can talk 1t was
mothers slipper that had hammered
good resolutions into those young men
and held them down to fixed pur
pose to become preachers.

And yank the tariff to and fro;

And parity with gold" we use
To drive away attacks Of blues

Suppose they counted 1t AS two.

Refused to profit by the law;
Suppose they all were milllonarles
With gilded bonds and railway shares
And houses on the avenue.

Their wits to form Il document,
They searched in vain for boding harm,
In vain they viewed" with vain alarm

 Towards Stewart.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-"Mr Bryan's word goes with me and I shall be glad to so state to the people of this coun- try said John M. Thurston of Ne braska, after reading the f1at-footed denial of w. J. Bryan that he is or has been in the employ of the silver mine owners. ''Mr. Bryan has denied the charge which was made by the Democratic newspapers and I have no hesitation in declaring that I believe him"

SHE SOUGHT IT.
Her Story Would Almost Convict Her
 in Any Court.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 19.-Mary Eliza White is the name of a smart young negro woman who applied to Justice Alden yesterday afternoon for her release from the county jail in Kansas City, Kan, on writ of habeas corpus. Mary killed Andy Harvey, a negro, with a revolver on Sunday, June 2S, and was held without bail by Jus tice Hughes for trial in the common pleas court, the charge being murder in the first degree. She claims that she killed Harvey in self defense and there is no evidence to warrant the court in refusing her bail. She had rejected Harvey's attentions, and when he saw her in company with another negro he vowed he would kill her. On the morning of the tragedy he sent word to her that he would like to meet her. She had some misgivings She resolved to go, however, and when she left her home she wore a shirt waist with big revolver hid in hel bosom. It was just as expected. When Harvey struck her, she shot him.

WILL GRANT PARDONS
The Lieutenant Governor of Missouri Proposes to Use the 'Prerogative.

ST. LOUIS, Aug 19.-Lieutenant- Governor John B. O'Meara, who will be still acting governor next week.
 will probably pardon few more con- victs. T believe there are a number of men whose lives are rotting away in the state penitentiary undeserved- ly,' he said. 1.-The trouble is the state has no board of pardons; we tried to get statute providing for the crea- tion of such board through the last legislature, but failed. Governor Stones desk is now piled foot high with petitions for pardons. They are so voluminous he cannot commence to read them, and when I go back next week I'm going to tackle them at once. If after reading them, I con scientiously believe the men appealed for are deserving of clemency, I'll is- sue a pardon at once. I don't care what anybody thinks of my motives in so doing. I pardoned Ike Levy be cause I thought his sentence exces- sive. He was given twenty-five years for playing three-card monte up in Clinton. That sentence was outra- geous. Some of the. countrymen up there went into game and tried to win his money. but he won theirs"

NOBODY TO BLAME.
The Collision of the Meteor and Isolde
 Could Not Be Avoided.

RYDE, Isle of Wight, Aug. 19.-An inquest was held today upon tthe re- mains of Baron Moritz and Count Von Zedwitz, the German yaohtmen, who were killed yesterday in the collision between Emperor Williams yacht, Meteor, and Zedwitz's yacht, Isolde. The commander of the Brittania ex- pressed the opinion that the Meteor ought to have given the- Isolde wider berth and thought that there had been an error in judgment Captain Gomez, of the Meteor, denied having infringed on the rules, and said that there would have been plenty of room to pass had not the Saint struck the Isolde and showed the latter out of her course and across that of the Meteor. The col lision with the Isolde could not be avoided except by colliding with the Brittania, which, he explained, would have resulted in a far more serious smashup. The jury rendered a yer dict that nobody was to blame.

Used in Putting Patient to Sleep While
 Dentist Operates.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-,A practical test of hypnotism as an aid in den tistry was made yesterday morning in the clinic of the Chicago school of psychology, 255 Bowen avenue.
 A patient at the hypnotic clinic there was suffering from the disease called technically "exostis," which is an en- largement of the roots of the teeth at the apex. It was found necessary to have several of the afflicted teeth re- moved, and hypnosis was tried to les sen the pain instead of the usual an esthetics.
 The patient was a man 45 years old He was placed in the operating chair and put to sleep by Dr. Herbert A. Parkyn. Dr. J. c. Barclay did the dental work, removing eight teeth When the patient was restored to con- sciousness he said he had felt no pain although he was fully aware through out of what was going on.

PETRLFIED WOMAN.
Fossil of an Indian Giantess EXhumed Near Fort Scott.

FORT SCOTT, Aug. 19.-The petri- fled body of an Indian giantess who was probably buried 300 years or more ago, has just been dug up near this city and today was bought for 1000 for a museum.
 A number of physicians and students of anatomy examined the body and all declared it to be a genuine petrifac- tion. The body is almost perfect even to the finger nails, and is intact, eX- cept that a portion of the right arm and two feet are missing. It meas ures about six and one-half feet in length and now weighs 400 pounds. The high cheek bones and the shape of the head indicate that it is the fos- sil of an Indian.
 So distinct are the features that it is readily judged the woman was of mid de age when buried. The hands lie across the breast and are so perfect that no sculptor could have counter feited them. Even the skin wrinkles on the finger joints, the face and the breast are distinctly discernible and on the left wrist is a mark indicating that bracelet had corroded there. The right leg is broken off below the thigh, and reveals partial decay oi the bones of the calf The bones are mostly preserved, however, and are visibly distinct from the petrifed flesh The upper lip is partially clipped off disclosing two teeth. The head is very large, but not out of proportion to the body

HAGLEY SURRENDERS.
And Believes He Can Make a Defense
 to the Murder Charge

HALEY, Ida, Aug. 19.-George Hailey, who stabbed William A. Sel- don to death here on August 4, came into Hailey and surrendered himself to the sheriff It has been pretty well known here for few days that such a course would likely ensue. His father and brothers have been here sev- eral days investigating the trouble and the circumstances leading to the stab ping, and the result of their labor it is claimed, fully warrants his surrender for trial. What his defense will be cannot be learned at this writing, but it is claimed from reliable sources that there are two sides to the matter, and some provocation will be shown for the act. George successfully baffied the officers, and no doubt could have escaped, but preferred to stand trial. Application for bail will be made on Monday, and it is thought probably George will be given his liberty on furnishing heavy bonds.

SIX MILLIONS.
That Amount ifl Gold Will Be I'm, ported From Europe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. - Acting Secretary Curtis today received a tel egram from the assistant treasurer at New York stating that arrangements had been made there to import six million in gold from Europe. While the foreign exchange is slightly above the importing point it is said that should 1t decline during the next few days as rapidly as during last week the gold importation from Europe would yield good profit. The officials are hopeful that the tide has turned and that from now on the reserve will be rapidly increased.

that the men lynched were Italian cit izsns. It is understood that the consul has furnished the Louisiana state au- thorities the same information. Baron Fava was assured by MT. Rockhill that the United States government was do- ing all it could to forward investiga- tion and was now awaiting a report from the governor of Louisiana. There has not yet been time to make the report. The state department has no further information concerning the correspondence of the lynched men than that furnished by the Italian au- thorities

WANTS SENATORSHIP.
Lewelling of Kansas Graves Seat in
 the Upper House.

WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 19.-Ex- Gov ernor Lewelhng, who was beaten in his race for the gubernatorial nomination, has again placed himself in the hands of his friends" and they are groom ing him for the race for the United States senatorship. AS preliminary step he has been nominated for the state senate by the Populists and Dem ocrats of Sedgwick county, and his managers intend to keep the Lewelling crowd together until they are again needed. There appears to have been an agreement entered into at Abilene whereby Ledy was to throw his sup- port to Lewelling for the United States senate in consideration of a boost from the latter, and this agreement is the basis on which Lewelling will make his fight.

DEADLY ANTHRAX.
How a Man Became Inoculated From
 a Diseased Pony.

VENCENNES, Ind, Aug. 19.-Last week Michael Clancy inspected a herd of Texas ponies from which he con tracted anthrax or malignant pustulus, and ten hours later was at the point of death. The doctors burned out the afflicted part with carbolic acid, as the only means of saving his life. An an- thrax microbe had been carried from one of the ponies to slightly abrased cheek, whereby he was inoculated with the disease. Anthrax is a cattle disease, but can be contracted by other animals by inoculation only.
 Caney's recovery is doubtful. The disease is very rare, only one other in twenty y-four years.
