A Squirrels capacious Mouth.

A Dummerston (Vt) man wished to
ascertain how many kernels OF corn a
chipmunk could carry in its mouth.
Thirty kernels were placed on a board.
A squirrel carried them all away at
one time. Forty-five kernels were then
placed in position, and chippy got away
with all of them at that trial. Seventy
kernels were put on the board for
third trial. The little striped animal
was beaten this time. but succeeded in
carrying flfty-eight Of the kernels in
his mouth.-Boston Herald

Kansas Judge Coins a Word.

They were discussing various things
in the clerk of the Supreme Courts Of
fee the other day, that is, a party Of
judges were. Finally the talk drifted
on to the subject IF coming words and
phrases. Mr.. Justice Allen made the
remark: i coin I'd a new word the
other day. 1t is ! good one, think,
and perfectly natural, but I have been
unable to find it III any dictionary. The
word is 'enforcibilty.' The lawyers
present studied a while and finally all
agreed that the word would be very
useful, and fit certain cases exactly.
Chief Justice Doster declared that he
once used a word that exactly describ-
ed a certain case, and it seemed to him
that it was by far the best term to ap-
ply. The word he used was "obten-
ton" meaning the act Of obtaining.
Judge Doster finally discovered the
word in a rare cid book on interstate

An Atrocious Law That Is Happily
Coming Into Disrepufe.

Coming Into DIsrepufe.
The horrible means used for infict-
ing the extreme penalty Of the law by
the Chinese has been the subject OF
many articles all over the civilized
world. but of late little has been heard
Of these cold blooded executions. 1t
seems. however, that although the in
exorable indiscretionary law has pass
ed out Of existence in the more civil
tied portion OF the empire, it is still
in effect in other localities, where the
condemned is put to death by the
siicing process. A case has recently
come 20 light in the northern part OF
China, and although efforts we're made
TO save the offender, they were unsuc-
cessful and he was killed in the old
time way-literally butchered alive.
The victim was a boy II years old,
who, while playing with a piece Of
metal attached TO a cord, accidentally
struck his mother on the head, her in
jury proving fatal. BY a peculiar Chi
nese law the child who kills parent,
wilfully or by accident, must pay for
the act with his life. The child in this
case was accordingly taken into GUS
tody az once, a mere form Of trial was
gone through, and verdict Of guilty
found and sentence of death by the
knife passed. The condemned is tied

Kellen is a man of some fame as a
performer of aquatic feats and this

terrifying danger Of Captain Kellen's
trip is the possibility that the barrel

result is avoided the barrel will doubt
less be rescued at some point in the
quieter waters below the falls.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Building Collapses and Four Men are
Injured at Rankin's Factory.
Fayetteville Observer

This morning at II 80 o'clock the dry
house at Rankin's factory collapsed,
burying four men beneath the ruins.
1t was the work of few minutes for
their fellow employees, after an heroic
struggle, to clear the debris and eXtrI-
cate the unfortunate men. 1t was
thought that they all must have been
killed, but as each one was reached,
and was found to be still breathing, a
great sigh of relief went up from all.
The men injured are: William Man
ming, Daniel Teachy, Chas. Underwood,
white, and VIII HAYWOOD.
The building which collapsed had just
been completed and had not yet been
properly braced. II was simply big
shed, 10 feet wide, 80 feet long and II
feet high. The four men were placing
the pipes in position when the crash
came without warning and they were
carried to the ground by the tremendous
weight, in every conceivable position,
one of them, Mr.. Teachy, being doubled
up in such position that he could not
breathe and would have expired if help
had reached him a moment later.

ice. It looks as if he and his family are


being cared for to pay him for his SER
vices in nelping to defeat Mckinley in
North Carolina last year--all of which
/ am opposed to and hundreds of other
Republicans-and | give Jim warning
now that it is as much impossible for
him to be reelected in Wake as it is for
a rabbit to cross the lake of fire."
Parson Leak talked very much in the
same vein. He said:
1.-THE reason for not endorsing Jim
Young for the postoffice at Raleigh was
first, after Mr. Bryan was nominated,
he Jim Young called meeting and
organized a Bryan and Watson club;
then went to Juniper Level had a big
barbecue, and spoke for Bryan and for
free silver and told the people that Bry-
an was the man for President, and not
Mckinley. Jim secured the nomination
for the Legislature, but did not say a
word for Mckinley at any point in the
county. The State Executive Commit
tee compelled him to sign an agreement
to support Mckinley, but he never sup
ported him. and it was after Senator
Person and others drew up an agree
ment to support Senator Pritchard that
Jim finally signed it under protest"
ParsOn Leak says further that ne
cannot understand why Jim Young is
so bitter against colored Republicans
organizing when he praises white men
who organize. The white Republican
League which was organized here dur
ing the white Fair, met Jims hearty
approval, while the colored League,
which met during the Colored Fair,
met his disapproval. Was it because
they refused to endorse Jim for the Raj

STATISTICS AND FACTS.

Yesterdays Asheville Citizen says:
"The Western North Carolina confer
ence, which will meet in Central NJ IL,
church, South, Wednesday morning at
| 8 o'clock, was organized IN 1890, and IS
composed of the territory taken from
the old North Carolina conference and
from the Holston conference. The ter
ritory of the conference is all in North
Carolina, embracing that portion of the
State west of Greensboro.
There are in the conference 1919 tray
cling preachers and 10 superannuated
preachers. There are 652 CHURCHES, val
ued at $4,000. There are 10S parson-
ages valued at $4,000. The Sunday
schools number $50, with $4,000 schol-
ars. The amount of money raised in
the conference last year for the sup
port Of its preachers was $4,000; for
missions, $4,000; for church educa-
ton, $4,000. The total amount of money
raised in the conference last year for
all purposes was $192,O4773.
THE present session of the conference
will be presided over by Bishop Joseph
s. Key, of Sherman, Texas.
"Rev W. l.. Sheriff., of Elkton, y. c.,
was the secretary of the last session of
the body, and will probably be re-
elected, as his proficiency is acknOwl-
edged by all.
There are 10 districts in the confer
ence and 1856 pastoral charges. The dis
tricts are presided over by as many
presiding elders. These elders consti-
tute the cabinet of the Bishop, and TO
them he looks for advice and counsel
in stationing the preachers. Presiding
elders are only advisory, however, and
the bishops power is absolute in the
making of appointments.
''The conference will continue in ses-
sion until Monday next.
"An important duty of the conference
will be the election of delegates to the
general conference of the N. E. church,
South, which meets in Baltimore in
May, 1898. Ten delegates are to be
