General Harrison's paper ON "This
Country Of Ours" in Ladies' Home
Journal treats of "The Pardoning Pow
er aud impeachment OF the former
he cites an incident in showing the OPP
pressive responsibilities it places upon
the shoulders Of president. He SAYS
"A reprieve is temporary suspen-
sion OF the execution of sentence.
This power is often used for the pur.
pose OF giving the president time TO ex-
amino an application for pardon or
70 enable the condemned TO furnish fur
Their evidence in support Of such an ap.
plication. In the summer of 1889 an
application for pardon in behalf of
man condemned TO death for murder
was presented to Inc, and after a care
full examination the application was
denied. On the day before the day fixed
for the execution arrived at Bar Har-
Dor on visit TO Mr.. Blaine, and found
that just before my arrival telegram
had come asking for a reprieve. The
message had been telephoned to Mr..
Blaine's house and received by Mrs.
Blaine Her sympathies and those Of the
whole household were at once enlisted
for the poor fellow, and though the glib
bet was over twelve hundred miles away
the shadow of il was over the house.

the United States marshal granting a
short reprieve was sent, and the day Of
the execution was again my uncomfort-
able secret 1t is not pleasant thing to
have the power of life and death.
No graver or more oppressive re-
sponsibility can be laid upon a public
officer. The power to pardon includes
the power to commute II sentence-that
is, to reduce il. When the sentence is
death, the president may commute it to
Imprisonment for life or for any fixed
term, and when the sentence is impris-
onment for life or for fixed term of
years he may reduce the term Of i'm
prisonment, and if fine is imposed he
may reduce the amount or remit it. "

To Aba,e the smoke Nuisance.

II has been suggested by Mr.. n. o.
Nelson that instead of transporting the
coal from the mines there should be
erected in immediate proximity to the
Illinois coal pits great plant-consum-
ing the slack and waste coal, which can
be had for next to nothing-which
could generate electrical energy. to be
transmitted by wire TO st. Louis, sufii-
cient to furnish complete supply Of
electrical heat, whether for warming
buildings or driving machinery. No
other city of magnitude, rs Mr.. Nelson
assures me, is so favorably situated for
this grand electrical solution of the
fuel problem. Heat, power and illumi-
nation might thus, through electrical
transmission. be supplied from the Hi
nois coalfelds without transporting the
coal any appreciable distance from the
mouth Of the mine. The smoke nuisance
woald thus disappear Of itself. Albert

Hair Appeared on the Shiniest Pate.
AS a sample of commercial enterprise
the scheme of vender of a preparation
for strengthening the hair, who has been
touring the northern part of South Da'
kota for some time past, stands alone.
The merits of the doctors preparation
do not enter into the story, although
the doctor himself does not seem to
have placed much confidence in them.
A few days before his appearance in
each town stranger with an exceed
ingly bald and shining Uranium invari-
ably made his appearance, engaged
rooms and took immediate steps to in
gratiate himself with as many of the
residents as possible. He always pro-
fessed to be in the place on important
business, and without spending much
money contrived TO make himself an
object of general interest in the little
community. Before long the doctor
would show up, bring his wagon to a
stand ON prominent corner, gather a
crowd and proceed to extol tho many
virtues of his famous preparation. Pur-
chasers were never turned away, but
the sale of the medicine was not the
doctors principal object Just when the
crowd was greatest the baldheaded
stranger would stroll idly mp. attracted,
of course. simply by the doctors ora
tory. and push himself into as promi-
nent place as possible.
"There's fit subject for an expert

soon as he noticed the new arrival.

YALE HAS A NEW STROKE.
Longer Body Reach and More De-
cfded Catch.

Since the return from Henley last July
Capt. Bailey, of the Yale crew. has had last
years barge made over, introducing several
new features In the first place, the seats,
instead of being arranged in the middle OF
the boat as they have been for the last ten
or fifteen years, are placed on the
sides, after the fashion of the English boats,
so that the men will get more leverage and
the shell will be kept on an even keel much
more easily. Furthermore, the outriggers
important change is in respect to the level
at which the slides were formerly arranged.
OF late years the end Of the runner nearest
the stem has been about an inch lower than
the end near the bow. BY Capt. Bailey's
changes the slides now made without any
incline whatever, being laid perfectly level.
Another innovation in the slides Is the cut
ting off of about three inches on the after
end so that they are now in the neighbor-
hood Of twenty-one inches long, instead Of
twenty three or twenty-four inches. A new
style Of oar Is to be made use OF in place of
the former kind. They are to be nearly an
inch narrower in the blade and q couple
inches longer. They will also have the rib
in the center, practically making two small
blades instead Of the old smooth spoons. By
these two scoops in the blade the oar will
take f1rmer hold of the water, and it will
tend to keep the oar at tibet same level at
which 1t was buried on the catch. The Cook
stroke will not be altered. The only change
from the stroke rowed last year will be In
getting a little more reach with the body,
and great deal more decided catch.
