MosT WONDERFUL CAVE IN THE
WoRLD.-The NEST wonderful cave
in the world is in the island of
Tonga, in the south Pacific. By
ron called it "a chapel of the seas. ,
1t is formed in q rock that is al
most surrounded by the ocean.
This rock is about 60 feet high and
broad proportionately.
Many years ago q boy, the son OF
a native chief, was chasing q huge
turtle, when his game seemed TO
sink into the rock. The lad watch
ed aud waited until the tide fell,
disclosing q small opening in the
rock about six feet under low water
mark.
Diving boldly, the young hunter
entered the aperture aud to his sur
prise came to the surface inside the
rock. The rock was hollow, and
it's interior was found afterward,
when the natives explored it with
torches, to contain many beautiful
stalactites.
When attacked and followed by
enemies, the natives who knew the
secret, leave their canoes, plunge
into the water and disappear. Their
foes linger, astonished at their dis
appearance, for no person not ae-
qlainted with 1T would suspect that
the rock was hollow.

rush was made for a tree in the south
eastern corner of the court house yard in
front of the court house. The end was
thrown over a good, strong limb, and a
thousand willing hands pulled the wretch
up. The end was tied TO the iron fence, and
Mitchell was left hanging there in full
view of several thousand people to die the
death he mad brought upon himself.

1t is doubtful II Mitchell died from the
effects of the hanging. His miserable life
had been almost kicked out of him when
he fell down. If any life remained in his
carcass 1t was strangled out, 1t is the
gel eral opinion that he was unconscious
when strung up. His body was left hang

of the city focked to see It,. All classes
of people came to witness the spectacle.

DURRANT GETS A RESPITE.
Granted Right to Appeal to United
States Supreme Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 4.-Theo-
dore Durrant will not be hanged on next
Friday. His attorneys have gained for
him new lease of life for four months at
least. and the condemned man made merry
in his cell last night when he heard the
cheerful news. He had become resigned to
his fate and his fearful eyes had turned
to the Bible as his only solace when in
formation was received at the prison that
Judge Gilbert of the United States circuit
court had granted his attorneys perinis-
preme Court frcm his order made on We'd
nesday, denying the application for a writ
CT habeas corpus.
The appeal will be perfected today when
Theodore Darrants father will file bond
in 500 10 cover the costs of the appeal.
Even IL the appeals should be dismissed
early In the term the thirty days allowed
by the state law between the time for ex-
ecution is fixed and the day of execution
would carry the matter pretty well toward
the end of the year. Tne possibilities for
further delay are SO numerous that prac-
ticaily he has an insurable lease OF life
into the ne " year.
No formal stay of execution, however
has been given Attorney General Fitz-
gerald has not yet advised Warden Hale
not to proceed with the execution on June
IL, but he has given such advice to War
den Aull of Folsom, in the Worden case,
and the Durlant case is on precisely the
their present labors in his behalf at an
end. and are preparing for the next effort
which will be before the United States Su-
preme Court.
