Those on the hillside. where the cypress
trees
o'erdroop the weather-darkened stones.
Where Love can still watch over them
and keep
Her anxious vigils. lest they wake and
weep
The grasses out there in the midnight
Stir softly: but their ward lies calm and
deep.
Hush! lest thou waken these: and hushl

For those 60 cold and silent on the hill:
But whether these shall rise to laugh
or weep. f
And whether those. without waking

Priscilla's Heart.
Cupid one day. in idle quest.
Fitted q dainty dart.
And aimed It At Priscilla's 3 breast,
To strike Priscilla's heart.
Clean through it went; no heart was there;
Said Cupid: II believe
Prisctlla's just the girl to wear
Her heart upon her sleeve -
But there, alack! It was not found;
'Aha!". cried Cupid. mote
Her frightened air: now I'll be bound
Her heart Is in her throat"
Failure again. Oh slender chance.
He once more arrow shoots;
Assumin: from her downcast glance

':She has no heart" said he. :"

FREE MURDER IN ARIZONA.
Legislature Enacts a Law Setting
Murderers Free.

Phoenix. Ariz., May Flour posses
are searching for the three escaped
prisoners from the Prescott jail. who
accomplished a jail delivery yesterday,
shooting two officers in theiC flight.
Lee Norris, the young assistant dis
trict attorney, shot by the prisoners.
died yesterday. His death has greatly
infiamed the public feeling against the
prisoners, who will probably be lynched
if caught.
This feeling is intensified on account
of the passage by the last legislature
OF law which virtually acquits all
nurderers where the crime is commit
ted prior to the passage of the law Two
prisoners now in jail here who have
been convicted and sentenced to death
were afterwards granted a new trial by
the supreme court. and another whose
trial has not yet taken place will be
cleared through the operation of the
law.
The new law was enacted defining
murder and providing punishment and
all former laws are repealed without a
saving clause excepting the cases then
pending. From 40 to so murders have
been committed in this county during
the last six or seven years without ex-
IRENE punishment.

under royal favor, NJ Ral1i was the on
" deputy who had the courage to op-
pose him, and he won the esteem of the
people by fearlessly speaking his mind
in the chamber His party has not al
ways been in the minority, for he was
minister of justice in 1880 and minister
of the interior in 1892.
AS long ago as 1890 NJ. Ralh drew
the attention of the government to the
ineficieney of the army, and he has
since then been continually demanding
a reorganization of the Greek forces,
but his advice went unheeded- After
the death of Tricoupis and the accession
of Delyannis to the premiership NJ Raj
Ii became the acknowledged leader of
the opposition. Now he is virtually at
the head of the government, for he has
insisted on having a ministry composed
of men of his own choice. He has re-
fused TO accept the dictation of the king,
and the latter is left without any con-
troll over his ministers.

A NASHVILLE NOVELTY.
Gigantic Seesaw One of the Sights of the
Tennessee Exposition.

Gigantic Seesaw One of the Sights of the
Tennessee Exposition.
Perhaps you remember playing see
saw when you were a child and be-
ing lifted to the dizzy height of seven
or eight feet on the end of board bal
anced on the top Of rail fence. If you
go to the Tennessee centennial exposi-
ton at Nashville this summer, you will
be able to play the same game on
much larger scale. There is to be erect
ed on the top of hill in the exposition
grounds a gigantic seesaw which will
lift % persons at once to the height of
$50 feet.
This monster teeter is to be built of
steel Instead of a rail fence, the axis
viii be the top of tower 20 feet high.
On this will be balanced a steel truss
160 feet long. At the ends of the truss
will hang cars in which passengers can be
comfortably accommodated while they
swing through an immense arc. When
raised to its utmost height. each car
will be- $50 feet above its starting place,
which, taken in connection with the
height of the terrace and the base of the
tower, will give an elevation greater
than that afforded by the famous Ferris
wheel at Chicago and amply sufficient
to give even the stoutest heart thrill.
Around the base of the tower will be
a pavilion so feet square, which will
contain dance hall, cafe and other
stands. Electricity will furnish the
power to keep the seesaw in motion.
Work has been begun on this teeter ex-
traordinary, and it will soon be COM
pleted, as the design is of simple con-
struction.

TO BEG ON FRIDAY
For the Life of Durrant is the Pro-
gramme.

San Francisco, May 11.-Attorneys
Eugene Duprey and George A. Knight
have begun the preparation of their
plea for executive clemency on behalf
of Theodore Durrant, which will be
presented to Governor Budd next Fri
day. The proceedings before the gov
eTnOr will be strictly in accordance with
the law.
There will be no emotional or sensa-
tional appeals. The attorneys say they
wiz be content to depend upon facts
and the force of argument to save their
client. 1t is not the intention of Mr.
and Mrs. Durrant to accompany the at
tOrneys to Sacramento, as it is under
stood that the governor would not see
them should they present themselves.
Durrant is sanguine that the governor
will act favorably on his application.

SNAKE AROUND HER LEG.


Miss Clara Hoppin, of New Haven
who is stopping at cottage at PHI e
Grove camp ground at Canaan, in
Litchield county, was playing tennis
on one of the courts near the grove
Thursday. The ball bounded into some
high grass near the court. She went
after it, and when she emerged one of
her girl companions noticed something
like vine trailing along behind her
skirt. She called Miss Roppin's -atten-
ton TO it. Miss Hoppin looked around,
but it seemed to have fallen of. Moth
ing more was thought of it and the
game was continued. After playing for
about fifteen minutes Miss Hoppin felt
peculiar sensation in one of her legs.
She seemed to be losing control Of it.
She raised her skirt and was astonishcd
to see the head of snake, with its
tongue 6arting out and in, just above
the top of the boots she wore. She
called to the girls to come. They gath
cred about her. How to get the snake
eff was the question. There were no
men in the neighborhood to call for.
One of the girls started for help.
Before she returned Mrs. Hoppin, the
mother, arrived. She did not hesitate
to attack the snake. She told her
daughter to sit down and draw her
skirts about her above the knees. Then
,ne secured stout stick and went to
work 10 pry the snake OIL. AT tis.
it was not successful, the snake cling
ing tenaciously. As the work of re
moving the snake progressed Miss
Hoppin became nervous. "lf that her
rid thing isn't off there in minute I'll
certainly die," she said. Her girl com
panions stood around armed with stout
sticks and with their skirts held up to
their knees and close around them.
When Mrs. Hoppin was about to give
up the Job the snake let up on his hold
little and she managed to get the stick
in such position that she loosened the
coil. The snake gave up and slipped
to the grovnd and darted away in the
weeds and escaped. Just after the
snake ran away young minister, who
is stopping at the grove, arrived with
the girl, who had gone for help. He
was armed with revolver and shot
gun. Mrs. Hoppin says the snake was
;ully three feet long. There are deep
ridges on Miss Hoppin's leg where the
snake wound itself around and for hours
it was badly swollen. Farmers living
near the grove say it was garter
shake. The tennis courts at Pine Grove
are deserted now.
