President Mckinley hes granted a
reprieve of ten days to the Borrego
gang of murders and assassins who
were to haye been executed last
Tuesday for numbering in cold blood
ex-Sheriff Frank Chavez of Santa
Fe. The reason given for granting
those red handed murderers a new
lease on life is that the president
may fully acquaint himself with
the case" The killing of Chaxez
was a political murder, and it was
through political influence that a
stay of execution was granted. If
President Mckinley does not close
his sight and hearing to the plead
ings of justice and common decency
the Borregos will stretch hemp next
Friday, unless, however, it Is pos
sible that a new governor suitable
to the taste Of the political gang of
murders shall have been appointed.
The BOrregos were actually on the
way to the place of exection when
the presidents message was received
granting a reprieve.

A Novel Use of Cast Iron.

Diamonds are used in dressing dia-
monds; steel is employed in finishing
steel, and an eastern shop has made
the innovation of using cast iron lathe
tools for cutting wrought iron, cast
iron and brass. This may seem absurd
at first, but upon reflection we know
that cast iron ear to a certain extent
can be tempered by chilling. Being
thus made harder, it bears the same
relation TO ordinary cast iron, which is
comparatively soft, that one grade of
steel does to another. 1t has been
found that tools cast of a chilling mix

Italians of Olden Dare Took Life In many
ShtI1rul Ways.

Italians of Olden Days Took Life In KADy
ShtErul WHys.
The art of poisoning in these days is
not cultivated with zeet or Skill. Even
in modern romantic and m~elodranatic
literature the poisoner works in what
the Boston journal calls a crude fash.
ion; his one idea is to get the poison
into the stomach of the victim. De-
lection is almost inevitable and pun
ishment follows. Italians # the fif-
teenth, sixteenth and the frsS half of
the seventeenth century showed most
surprising skill. Italian 1emovers of
enemies were welcome at many a for
eign court, for they were subtle, sure
and, at the same time, well bred.
There was the attempt to kill Louis
XII. by rubbing an ointment on the cor
ner of the altar steps on which he
went to kneel. Gloves and bouquets
removed mighty men and delicate
women. Wallets pricked their masters
as they served them in their toilet.
Nails STEPPED in aconite put an end to
petty q%uarrels. Henry of CASTLE wore
boots n day and never took them off
again. A king of Grenada should
have refused the adornment of a
variegated royal jacket. There was
a jealous woman who smiled as
she saw her rival eat the half
of a delicious bird that had
touched the poisoned side of the knife
used by a kissable hand. A torch
borne before a cardinal lighted him to
dusty death. Perfumed ducats slew a
creditor before he could sign the re-
There was poison in the pom
mel of the saddle that bore a powerful
queen. 1t is said that Henry the en-
peror and Pope Clement XIV. were
poisoned in a draught of the holy
eucharist. There were still more sub
tie devices, too horrible to tell; but
searchers into the dark yet splendid
of the renaissance and students
Of the Elizabeth drama may find
therein many a shudder.
Yet there is subtle poisoning even in
these degenerate days. The careless
plumber or the greedy landlord is, in
his way, a lesseper of the race. There
are wall papers as e~fflcacious as the
1eathly books told of in the Arabian
or by Dumas the elder. There
ire public rooms where foul air induces
diseases. But these methods are slow
and bungling-not in keeping with our
boasted civilization. The smooth, the
Italian was more merciful-that
is, when he merely accommodated a
master and did not work for his own
pleasure. .
