u, V. NJ. Glee Club Concert.

The following clippings give an idea
of the high order of work being done by
the combined 'glee and mandolin club.
evening of Memorial day, MayI 30. The
concert is under the auspices of Union
Lodge. No. 2, F. & A. NJ. This is from
a Pittsburgh On. W paper:
A small but representative audience of
Plattsburg people listened to the L. v; NJ.
concert at the Normal last evening. They
were well paid for their trip to the building
as the concert was the best ever given by a
club from the University of that city. The
solos by Mr.. Ketchum were heartily encored.
"The GrasshOpper" alone wa5 worth the price
of admission. The concert ranks among the
best musical entertainments given in Platts-
burg this season. The young men of the Nor
NAL Athletic association cleared about S25
from the performance.
And this from Stowe, Vt:
good sized audience gathered at the opera
house last evening to hear the concert of the
L V. NJ. Glee and Mandolin clubs. The work
of the clubs was praisewOrthy, and it is un
fortunate that Il larger audience was not
pre- sent. The audience by its hearty appre
citation, however, more than made up for
what II lacked in size. Almost every number
on the program was encored. f. &. Lewis,
the reader did not appear. In place of his
two selections n selection was given by Il trio
consisting of two mandOlins and guitar, and
NJ. W. Andrews recited. The remainder of
the programme was as 1OllOWs;

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1899-04-22

The tribunal of Modica, in the Sicilian
province of Syracuse, has just pronounced
a sentence which is declared to nave no
parallel in the judicial annals of Italy, as
it has probably few in those of any other
country. A man named Lupo Salvatore
of Comiso, had passed himself off as an
advocate and had with eonsummate skill
committed SO different acts of serious
fraud, in which he succeeded in using the
machinery of the law. He had forged the
signatures of the president and judges of
the high court, of the kings p~rocurator
and of the chancellor of the court. From
this last mentioned official he had even,
with splendid audacity, stolen for a short
time the seal of the chancery, which he
needed to give effect to his fraudulent
documents. The sentence is even more 1e-
markable than are the crimes. Salvatore
was condemned to three years imprison-
ment on each of the So cases, which brings
the total of the sentence to 1S9 years,
though the longest incarceration which
the convict can be legally made to under
go is 80 years. The penalty inflicted is in
each case the minimum for the offense.
Had the court decided upon the maxi
num-, which is ten years, the aggregate
term of imprisonment would have been
630 wears.

Human

Provost Particle of middle Texas has the
keen scent of a bloodhound. He is an
Australian by birth, and in his youth
among the bslshmen gained his wonderful
power of tracing people by scent. He has
just put his power into practical use by
tracking the kidnapers Of a young girl,
Sallie Wayne. She had been carried off
by one of two %suitors, each of whom was
suspected. Particle crept through the
woods after them, his nose to the ground,
following the scent of one man until it
dropped, and then the other was picked up.
On running this scent to earth the young
girl was found bound and gagged where
the neglected sutton had left her. Particle
says that ever since he can remember he
has been able to scent and track animals.

Now, the nigger fggered that he'd brand
all the coyotes in the State, and then when
you get the bounty law of So. so a scalp re-
enacted at the next legislature nobody
would nave a right to kill the varmints
except us. And you car just fgger on
how much money we Il have"
Then without a word Mr.. Miller got on
his horse and rode off, his head buried in
the deepest kind of thought. The last
words any of the cowboys heard him say
were, "Thirty coyotes killed fur nothin."
Enough branded coyotes were found
during the days hunt to show that if the
vaqueros had not been in the business in
o wholesale way they had certainly brand
ed enough coyotes to make double H mark
famous in ali the coyote villages through
out California.

story OF the Youngers. land in Che last
emaciatcd body back to Jackson county to
die. Her boys came home, went to work
and tried as best they could to forget the
past and look solely to the future. Her
cup of misery was full, and one night a
mob attacked the house, broke in the
doors and windows and rushed upon the
dying woman with drawn ~revolyers, de-
manding to know, upon her life, where
James and Coleman were. Among the
mob she recognized some whose hands
had been covered with her husbands blood.
Furious at not finding James and Cole
man, after having searched forthem every
where and stolen whatever about the scam
tily furnished house tempted their bcggar-
1y greed, they laid hands Upon John, the
youngest brother, carried him to the barn,
put a rope about his neck, threw n n
over a joist and told him to say his pray
ers, for he had but a little time to live
unless he declared instantly where his
brothers were. He defled them to do their
worst. Three times they strung him up
and three times he refused to breathe a
word that would reveal the whereabouts
of james or Coleman. The fourth time

ceptibly ceased. The rope had cut through
the skin of the neck md had buried itself
in the flesh. 1t was half an hour and
more before he recovered. Not yet done
with him, the rrab wounded him with
sticks, beet him across the shoulders with
the butts of muskets, tormented him as
only devils could and finally released him,
half dead, TO return to his broken hearted
mother"
There is no reason to doubt that when
Tire civil war vas over and Cole and James
Younger returned from California to their
devastated farm in jackson county, Mo-,
they intended 20 settle down peacefully
and rebuild their mothers home; but men
along the borders of Kansas and Missouri
who had felt the strong hand of Guam
trell's guerrillas would not suffer the
Youngers TO live in peace. Every crime
that was committed, every house that was
burned, every horse that was stolen, was
added to the long score against the broth
ers. During this period Cole, James and
John Younger remained steadily at home.
They dared not light their lamps at night,
but in the daytime they chopped trees,
built n house for their mother, made
fences and toiled like their pioneer fore
fathers had done before Them. Skulking,
self appointed vigilance inen shot at tl-sm
from ambush, their crops were burned in
the night, and anonymous letters warning
them 60 leave the country came to then
frequently.
Unable 20 make any Roadway against
such obstacles to their peace, finally the
Youngers quit their vain toll. and entered
upon the career of lawlessness which end
ed in the Minnesota penitcntiary.
