MURDER {!

II is pretty safe to say that the citizens
Of Providence this morning would rejoice
1t the opportunity to vote in favor OF
restoration of the law to hang.
The deliberate murder of one OF the
sity's most widely known and best liked
Young men, last evening, is about the
most shocking episode in local records of
crime and calls for vengeance OF . very
material KIM.
The murder recalls that of the aged
Waterman Irons. whom "Spiker" Muir
ply killed with delibsration, and reminds
us, also that that brute Is being lodged
and boarded by the State in considerable
comfort, kept In restraint to bs sure,
but otherwise unpublished, or, at least,
permitted to live on in . world which
would be better of without him than
with him.
The sober sentiment of the people Of
our State will probably restrain them In
the future. as it has for so long. against
restoring capital punishment While the
moose and the eectrio chair accomplish
the wholesome function OF riddipg the
earth of persons who have lost their right
60 the company of their fellow men, II
not to existence itself. il would probably
not be easy to dsmonstrate that the lives
Of citizens In this State are moro in dan
ger than in states where cnpit ii punish
ment exists and. after all, that is the
main object OF law--to safeeuardsaud IRE
vent. But nv the bier OF William o.
Hutch'ns 1t is hard to resist the feeling
that the sovereign State is not called
npon to regard as Of any use or value the
life of the outlaw that held this bright
young life so lightly. and to raise a
doutt that, IN the universal plan, the
vengeance Of which Is in the Lord, may
rot be properly executed by the human
agency that is permitted to breathe is
spirit.

ANDREE'S MESSENGER.

brought back by carrier pigeon. In the
March Century Mr. stadliDg has an ac-
count of the capture Of this pigeon and a
photograph of the bird. lie says:
1t may perhaps interest the readers OF
the Century to know some details ABOUT
its capture, condensed from ths report of
the captain Cf the whal5r Aiken. On
July 10, the Aiken was on the border of
the drift Ice, in 80 deg. "A min. north lat
itude. 20 deg. 20 min. east longitude.
Between and o'clock in the morning
tho helnsman called out TO the captain,
who was sleeping in mis- caoin: "A
strange bird has lighted on the gaff !
You must come and shoot it, it looks SO
queer
The captain, who had been sleeping
souudly, gave rather rough reply; bat
the next moment his curiosity brought
him to his feet and up on deck. 1hs bird
resembled n rtarmigan, but rs 1t was
sitting close bsnind block the captain
could not shoot without risk OF injuring
the block. So he climbed up the rigging
with his rifle and snot il. the strange

captain commanded the man on the look
out, in barrel fastened near the top of
the mast, to come down and lower "a
boat. ana fetch the bird. The n an OBJ

nj isersble little bird which probably was
of no use.
SO the captain went to bed again, aud
the bird was left in the water Having
sailed for some distance, following the
ice. the Aiken met with another whaler.
On hearing the story OF the strange bird,
the captain of the second whalsr .ex-
claimed:
perhaps il is one of Andree's carrier
pigeons.
The captain of tho Aiken, who did not
know about Andree's ascension, ut once
returned TO the region where the byrd was
shot, and sent out two boats for a careful
search. Alter n while one of the boats

EMPTY WAGONS And DEMPffPAGES
The Telegram's aslivery wagons have.
for a long time. contributed 10 the gaiety
Of the community through whose quiet
streets they rattle.
They ara roomy enough 10 deliver all the
newspapers published in town or that
eonse to this town every evening. They
are closed in. however, so that unless you
get around behind and peep you would
be unable TO see tho armful OF rolls of
kilograms that jump about on the inside
If they ever should be filled up, the
springs aud axles would be quits unable
to sustain the load. That is one reason
why they are never filled. The other
reason is that tho edition of the Telegram
quiied for a thin veneer on the bottom OF
the wagons. The edition that the lole-
gram claims To print would work destruc-
tion 10 the delivery wagons If they ever
undertook 10 carry it around. The Tele-
grams imposing and empty delivery
wagons are just little blun. The Iele-
grams biggest bluff in support of its
circulation figures lies In the imposing
number OF pages IL inilicts on Its limited
patronage every evening
In the upward struggle of the Telegram
for the past decade for recognition among
discriminating advertisers. it will occur
to the average business man that the 16-
page idea Impressed him more than any
other scheme that the Telegram has de-
vissd. The circulation statement was re-
inforced by contemplation of the imposing
issue and credenoe was gradually gained
for at least some portion of the claims.
AS a matter Of fact, Of course, the printing
OF daily newspaper imposing in ap-
pearancs s not so costly an enterprise as
the uninitated might suppose White
paper has fallen 40 ger cent in prico dur
ing the past few years and "filllng" can
be had at small expense. So far as the
Telegram Is concerned, indeed. it is not
unreasonable TO suppose that its circula-
tlon has actually fallen rather than in
creased under the policy that has served
to give IL rising value in the eyes of ad-
vertisers. Today il is simply an imita-
tion Of the Bulletin in dimensions and
alike, like two Of any. other kind of goods
tho consumer invariably selects the best.
Moreover, the Telegram has hardly lived
down as yet its past notorlety and while
the evidence from the Bulletins growth
OF circulation Is that 1t has not secured
any Of the latter's customers, II is not
unreasonable to suppose that the class of
patrons that used TO like the kind of
a newspaper the Telegram once was, have
dropped IL since 1t assumed the look of
respectability. In n word, IL las PROBABLY
lost a good deal cf Its old time patronage,
while. although deserving of better things
10y reason of its more cllanly columns IL
has evidently failed to replace the loss ly
acquiring that other kind of patronage
that represents the reputable and respec-
tasle majority In this community.
