Proceedings Against q Pig.

The animal which most frequently came
before the criminal courts was the pig. At
Mesnil St. Denis, near Paris, there still
exists spot called Truye Pendue, after a
sow which was once hanged there for kill
ing an infant, and about 90 similar
cases are recorded in France alone by
different writers. Thus in 1886 the magis-
trates of Falaise condemned pig to have
its snout and one leg cut off and then TO
be hanged for having killed an infant and
eaten part of it's face and arm. The pig
was executed i'm the market place dressed
In human apparel and the executioner re-
ceiyed ten deniers and a new glove as his
fee.
The following is the statement OF ex-
penses sent to the bailiff of Nantes In
March, 1903, for the execution or SOW
which had killed baby:
For her expenses while in Jail. O soils, Partisan

The rowels Of natures most powerful

literally apply to every savage tribe and
many "A civilized one. Hunger is one of
the mainsprings of progress. AT its i'm
perative command the flint was Clipped
into the arrowhead, the dart, the spear.
In its honor the net was woven, the hoe
was made and the soil broken. To appease
its cravings the wild bull is broken to the
yoke, the forests are felled, the ditch is
dug through the marsh.
On it's errands the ship is launched on
the perilous deep and the band sent out
upon the warpath Into its service have
been impressed the winds of heaven, the
steam wreaths of the caldron and the gilt

real Aladdin's lamp Of civilization The
ceaseless westward flow of tho human
stream and the march of the "star of en-
pire" have been at the behest of it's genii.
Whether it be born of n barren soil and a
cruel sky or of the pressure of overpopula-
ton, 1t has played Il leading part in mold

The concert tomorrow evening by the
Hancock Choral societ y at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Auditorium is SUI e to be fine one IN
every respect. The program includes
numbers by some OF the leading singers
of the copper country, and as the concert
has been in preparation several months
it will be proportionately artistic. The
choruses, especially, will be perfect rendi-
tons. as those composing it have had
the advantage OF training under PROBES
sor Kimball, whose position at Oberlin
college is an assurance OF his musical
knowledge and skill as a conductor. The
singing of that famous oratorio, 1.-The
Messiah" will itself be worth the admis-
sion price to lovers OF high class music.
Reserve seats for this concert are on sale
at Nichols drug store.

pianist, at the Opera House last evening
and the large audience that was in at
tendance showed that the rare treat was
fully appreciated.
All that has been said OF the great yio-
linist was more than realized and the
audience went wildly enthusiastic at
each appearance; at one time recalling
him twice. He was on the program for
four numbers, but was required to render
nine and the audience demanded more.
Mr.. Sauvlet, the pianist and accom-.
PIANIST is beyond question the best ever
heard here. His numbers we're rare
treats and his rendition OF high classical
music. was very enjoyable. Every num-
Der was encored. The "Gavotte," com.
posed by himself, was perhaps the most
pleasing number he rendered.
Miss Brehany, the soprano, has a
voice OF exceptionally wide range and
sweet tone and her personal beauty
added to the effect OF her songs. The
en- semble, Gave Maria," gave her better
opportunity to display her ability than
any OF the other numbers and her rendi.
ton was considered almost perfect in
this number.
