ut such a display OF, force at the exeou-'

in few moments would appear upon
the scene tied hand and foot.
There was some little commotion
among the crowd when people began to
point ut thin, old man who hobbled
about with tho gestures OF dancing
jack to see if the knife in the brass run
ners was in good working order. This
was Deibler, the eIecutioner. ghost
with white beard. who adjusted tho

grocer weighing his goods. Suddenly
there was profound silence, the rain
was over, heads were uncovered and
motionless. Breathless and almost In
agony tho crowd followed with staring
eyes the movement Of the doors Of the
prison, which ut last opened wide.
A suppressed "Ah!" came from many
contracted chests, while with pale faces
all gazed upon the assassin, whose
crime the mountebanks Of the fairs pop
ularized. He was simply frightful to

terror. He did not look like human
being. He looked like beast His In
telligence was already dead and his
heart had lost all feeling. The Instinct
Of the animal still remained. The sight
was dreadfully sad.
What followed beggars description.
The executioner and his aids seemed no
longer to be men employed to carry out
the ends of justice; they looked like

THE USE OF TIME
"VocationS and Avoca-
tons" Theme ofEvening.
Diversions Of Men-The All AROUND
Man and the SpeciaItst-At Rev,
Mr.. Kincaids.

The address OF Percy NJ. Pond on
Vacations and AvocatiOus' before the
Young Mems Research Club az the
home of Rev. VIM. Morris kincaid last
evening, was not only entertaining bu-
instructive as well
Mr.. Pond spoke OF the necessity of o
man having something outside Of his
regular vocation. He touched upon the
different vocations which one could
take up, in the musical line. or ia tGs
scientific. physical. artistic and relig-
ious lines. The speaker believed that
a mans avOcation should be entirely
opposite 10 his vocation. Ii ones voca-
ton is practical his ayocatiou should
be theoretical; Or theoretical then
scientific.
To Illustrate his point Mr.. Pond re-
ferred TO Darwin as an example. When
Darwin was a young man he was fond
of poetry and music. When he became
older, he became so wrapped up in his
vocation that he fairly dstested poetry
and music.

Rev. Mr.. Morgan advanced the opiu-
ion that the specialist was OF more ben

The Oceanic Steamship company's
mail steamer Alameda has completed
her sixtieth round trip to Australia.
Before going on the Australian run the
Alameda made 20 round trips TO Homo
lulu. In all her i~ourneyings from the
time she left the Cramps yard at Phil
adelphia the Alameda has run over
100000 miles, and during the l6 years
IL took her to cover that distance she
was not stopped at sea ten hours, all
told, for repairs. She has never been
late, but frequently ahead Of time, and
there has never been an occasion when
her mail failed To go overland on sched-
ule time. This is a record that very few
steamers afloat can approach, and is a
great feather in the cap of American
ship builders. OF the ships crew that
left Philadelphia in the Alameda, only
one remains. lie is A. ID. Little. the
chief engineer, and he says the VESSEL is
as good to-day as when she came around
