SLAIN IN HIS CELL.
Mob Breaks Into the Clinton (AFk.)
Jail and Puts to Death an
Alleged Murderer.

Clinton, Ark, April 19.-Monday
morning between twelve and two
o'clock was enacted the final scene in
the terrible Patterson tragedy which
took place ON December 10, 1897, in
which Hugh Patterson lost his life and
several other members of his family
were seriously wounded. a mob of cit
liens took the law into their own hands
and shot Will Hardin, one of the Patter-
son murderers, to death in the cage at
the county Jail.
Lee Mills, a prominent young man
and once a deputy sheriff of Van Buren,
county, and Will Hardin were arrested,
charged with the Patterson murder.
Several attempts to lynch them were
frustrated and an attempt on the part
of their friends to liberate them from
Jail resulted in guard being killed.
Mills was convicted on Hardin's testi-
mony and he paid the death penalty sew
eral months ago. Hardin was convicted
at the September term of court and the
case was appealed to the supreme court,
which granted new trial. At the
March term he was again convicted and
sentenced to hang May 9. No appeal
was taken, but communication was
asked of the governor and granted.
When the people learned that execu-
tive clemency had been granted there
was much excitement. About so we'll
armed masked men went to the taller,
commanded him to go and unlock the
Jail, which he did under cover of a shot
gun. The jailer and night guard were
marched inside the Jail, when one of
the mob who had acted as spokesman
emptied the contents of double bar
relied shotgun into Hardin's head, blow
ing it almost entirely away. The mob
then fastened the jailer and guard in
the Jail and left as silently as they came.
No demonstration of any sort was made,
and it was some time before the town
knew what had occurred. The coroner
returned verdict that Hardin came to
his death by gunshot wounds in the
hands of unknown parties.

Gems and labor leaders asking him to
stop the importation of negro miners
to take the places of the strikers in the

no law under which he could do any,
thing; on the other hand, any interfer-
ence by him would be strictly in viola
ton of the constitution of state and

LUCULLUS AND NAPOLEON.
Famous Generals Whose Appethhs
Overruled Their Better
Judgment.

In his Bright Sides Of History" H. II.
House has something to say about ~
appetites of famous people. "You knsv
already" Uncle Claxton began, "thae
Lucullus was great general at ons
period, and that he led his armies Ne
toriously through many parts of Am
Minor. The kingdom of Pontus was
completely subjugated by him; and the
spoils collected from its principal cites
formed the basis of the enormous for
tune with which he afterward enjoyed
himself and entertained his compan-
ions in Rome. But gold and jewels were
not the only things that attracted the
attention Of this man of varied tastes.
The city of Cerasus, on the shore Of
the Euxine sea, was celebrated for It's
cherries, specimens of which were Of
fered to him as the choicest delicacies
of the region. He was so delighted
with them that he ordered the fruit to
be cultivated on his estates at home,
and from that time cherries began to
be known in Italy. You may be sure
that Lucullus the soldier was different
being from Lucullus the Sybarite. It
govern kingdoms, and while he was
busy with those pursuits he could not
have wasted many hours in revelry. He
had before him as a warning the fate
of Alexander, who threw away his life
in dissipation while he was yet young,
in almost exactly the same part of the
world"
'You were telling us the other day.
said Percy, shat Napoleon Bonaparte
ate"
"That was often the case," Unsle
Claxton replied, "when he was out
campaigning. He had very little time,
and not much inclination. Even in the
peaceful intervals of his reign he was
extremely abstemious. But he had his
fancies in the way of food, and it has
been said that he was punished terribly
for indulging one of these at the wrong
time. Boiled mutton with onion sauce
was dish of which he was often tempt
ed to eat too much, and on the day of the
battle of Leipsic, when he should have
been especially careful of his diet, he
chose it for his principal meal, and
dined so heavily that within few hours
violent collie seized him, and he was
compelled to leave the field at a mo-
ment when all his skill was needed to
avert disaster. Other causes have been
assigned for his defeat, but the story
which give you was believed at the
time, and I do not know that it has ever
been proved false. The harm may have
come from his habit of eating too fast,
for which Napoleon was notorious. He
did not ordinarily allow himself leisure
enough to enjoy the few dishes he liked
best. His famous rival, Wellington, was
just as careless, and even more in
different" .St. Nicholas.

DEATH OF CROMWELL.
1t Came on His "Fortunate Day" aaa
While a Terrific Storm
Was Raging.

Cromwell was now SO years old.
Eight years before he had written to
his wife that he felt the infirmities OF
age stealing over him. His robust en-
ergies had been consumed by the OK
hausting duties of his career. His govt
seemed to leave his leg and retire into
his body, and for four or five days he
was racked with intolerable pain in his
bowels and back, making it impossible
for him to sleep. He rode out once at
the head of his life guard, and spoke
kindly with George Fox, favoring the
fullest freedom of worship for the
Quakers. "Before came to him." said
Fox, II saw and felt watt of death 20
forth against him."
While tossing on his bed he repined
for his dear Elizabeth; and then his
thoughts swept back to Robert, dead
at Felsted school 10 years ago; and he
vainly strove to check his tears with
the solace of that Scripture which he
knew in whole by heart.
The belief that had followed Crsn-
we'll all through his life that he was
privileged to hold personal communion
with the Most High God was strangely
manifested in these last days. He be-
sought the Lord that for the good of
His people He would spare his life yeta
little longer. He then assured his coun-
selors that his prayer had been granted,
using manner of such mysterious con-
fidence that his hearers were trans
ported with amazement. Fleetwood
sent quick message to Henry Crom-
well in Ireland that his highness had
made very great discoveries of the Lord,
and had received assurances of being
restored; to which Henry replied that
the communication had given him some
relief.
But there came night when all saw
that the end was approaching. They
tried to get him to name his successor,
and in his thick death-gasps they at
fected to believe that they heard him
say Richard" They offered him =
drink. 1T is not my design to drink
or Sleep" he said, "but my design is to
make what haste can to be gone" All
night he tossed and all day he drew his
heavy suspirations. The widest storm
that England had known was raging
without. 1t was the anniversary of
his great victory of Dunbar-the ami
versary, too, of his great victory of
Worcester. And on this, his fortunate
day." his spirit passed out amid the,
