Ate His own hook.

The lusty orators who are forever
telling us how much we are oppressed
ought to be sent to Russia to have
taste of real oppression. Not long
ago, at Moscow, a volume was published
which contained some paragraphs in
favor of the people. and the author wa.
promptly arrested and the book sup
pressed. The author was tried in a
summary way, and condemned to eat his
own words. A scaffold was erected in
a public square. and the imperial pro
vost, the magistrates and the physicians
of the car were present The book was
separated from the binding, and the
margin cut off. The author was then
served leaf by leaf by the provost, and
was Obliged to swallow this unpalat-
able stuff ON pain of the knout. As
soon as the medical gentlemen were of
the opinion that he had eaten as much
ms he could with safety, the unlucky
author was returned to prison. The
punishment was renewed until, after
several hearty meals, every leaf of the
book was actually swallowed.-Golden

The new remedy, known as Morrow's Kid

from the system all diseases OF the Kidneys
including Bright's disease and Diabetes, thus
increasing to considerable extent the average

dent to-day named Senator George
Gray, Of Delaware, as the fifth mem-
ber OF the peace commission. This
completes the personnel of the commits
sion, which stands: Secretary Day,
Senators Davis, Frye and Gray, and
Hon. whitelaw Reid.

dent has given Democratic represents
tion on the commission. The appoint
ment probably will necessitato the re-
tlrement Of Mr.. Gray from the Anglo
American commission which is cnn-
Quoting It's sessions in Canada, as this
commission will resume its work about
the time the peace commissioners sail
for Paris.
The position was offered to the sen-
ator several days ago, but at that time
was declined. The President, however,
further urged Mr. Gray to accept and
hls final agreement was secured to-day.
Senator Gray Is one of the best known
men in public life, having been a prom
inent figure in the senate for the last
twelve years. He was born at New
castle, Del, in 1910, and was graduated
at Princeton. He served as attorney
general Of Delaware, and later was ap-
pointed 70 the senate when Thomas +.
Bayard entered the first Cleveland cab
met as secretary of state. Mr. Gray
has been in the senate continuously
since then, serving with distinction, be-
ing one OF the recognized forces In de-
bate and in the shaping OF important
legislatIon. He Is member OF the sem
ate committee on foreign relations, thus
making three members OF that commit
tee-Davis, Frye and Gray-on the
peace commission. on foreign questions
Mr.. Gray has generally been regarded
as opposed to expansion, his senate
votes having been against the annexa-
tIon Of Hawaii.
Nuw that the commission is complete
Il is expected that the American case
viii be made up and the commieTion
given tts final instructions, The COM
misslonkrs will meet here about the 18TH
Inst, prior to sailing for Paris, at which
time they Will meet the President, and
be made aware In a general way OF the
views Of the administration.
The announcement OF Senator Grays
name was made shortly after the cab
met met. Acting Secretary Moore was
called to the white house during the
meeting and the final decision was then
announced. Senator Allison and other
public men who were at the white house
at the time expressed strong approval
OF the selection.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 9.-Ths work
of the thlrty-second annual encamp-
ment of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public was happily concluded late in
the afternoon to-day. There was a
small number comparatively IN attend
ance in the morning. but later the NUM-
bers were increased and the desire to
complete the work and turn to other
duties was so great that everyone COM
nected with the business Of the en-
campment felt inclined to hurry, and
for this reason perhaps the expected
discussion on the resolutions from the
pension committee did not occur.
The rule in almost every instance was
to adopt reports as presented and in
this way the pension report went
through without objection, although II
was modifCd later to take away any
impression that might have arisen that
President Mckinley was under censure.
The discussions showed remarkable
spirit, hurried earnestness and an un-
usual gift of oTatorH. But above all
there was a disposition to take no rad
lcal or undIgnlfed action. Command
er-in-chief Goblin with all his rulings
commanded the fullest respect Of the
encampment. He was prompt, intelli-
gent and Arm in enforcing the rules and
