Many Deaths by Accident.

Chicago, Jan. According to the sta
tistics compiled by the Tribune the loss
OF life from various disasters in this coun-
try between January and the morning OF
December l, 1898, was 7345. The casual.
ties are enumerated as follows: Fires, 1870;
drownings, 3ll0: explosions, 5S6; mines,
$50; falling buildings, etc, 500; cyclones
and storms, SOP: lightning, 255. The LOSE
by railroad accidents of various kinds was

He Kills Legally.

The methods of selecting him who
shall act as eXecutiOner have through
out history been many and curious. In
earliest Roman days the sentence was
carried into effect by the accuser and a
! similar practice was In vogue in the
/ Crmea when that was a kingdom.
Formerly in Germany the duty de-
volved upon the youngest member OF
| the community, in Thuringia upon the
latest settler and in Franconia. Justly.
upon the newest married. In Spain the
office is, or was, hereditary, and in
France 1t became practically so.
The dignity of the function was better
recognized in ancient times than it ia
to-day. In old Greece the presentation
Of the hemlock was an honorable ser
vice and the man who performed it was
ranked by Aristotle above ordinary
magistrates.
In the code and sacred books Of tho
ParseeS no provision is made for capt.
tai punishmeL', but n culprit Is to be-
beaten with thongs n number of blows.
proportoned to his offense, and if he
succumbs no one is to blame.

The largest loaves of bread baked
in the world are those of France and
Italy. The pipe" bread of Italy is
baked in loaves two or three feet long.
while In France the loaves are made
in the shape of very long rolls four or
five feet in length, and in many cases
even six feet. The bread of Paris Is
distributed almost exclusively by wo-
men, who go to the various bakehouses
at $50 a. IN. and spend about an hour
polishing up the lOaves. After the
loaves are thoroughly cleaned Of dust
and grit, the bread porter proceeds
on the round of her customers. Those
who live in apartments or flats find
their loaves leaning against the door.

We made our way back to the SherS

startled by n ground nesting bird BURST
Ing up from the grass before ms, now
making wide detours to avoid some dim
object, which proved to be a harmless
cow or stump. till Mt last we reached
the left and lay down upon the hay,
with welcome sense of security in
the place which had lately deemed so
dangerous.
Then as we rested and by degrees re-
covered natural breathing, my COM
panion explained in whispers the mys-
terry of ncighbor Sherman's behavior.

l quite agreed in his opinion of neigh
Dor Sherman, since lie was acting In 80
unexpected a manner.
We lay quietly for an hour before we

but heard that he reached Canada wlths

a few days later | happened TO hear
my father thanking neighbor Sherman
very warmly for what he had done.
ana the response Of the latter was:
"Sho! Abr'am, don't never say a

About noon December 3, half the houses

100 buildings and the same number OF

Washington, Jan. 1.-The peace treaty
was presented to the senate Immediately
upon converting and the senate at once
went into executive session.
The treaty was not read, but the presi-
dents message accompanying it was.
This was simple letter of trarsmittal
without any word of recommendation or
suggestion, and was only few lines in
length.
On motion of Senator Davis the treaty
was referred to the committee on foreign
relations and ordered printed for the use
OF the senate. No order was made look
ing to making the treaty public, but it
Is understood this will be done after the
treaty is passed upon by the committee
Senator Davis entered a motion today to
make the treaty and the proceedings OF
the committee public, but upon the sug-
geston of Senator Allison he withdrew
the motion for the purpose of allowing
Lne committee to act on it.
The senate at l2:l5 adjourned.
The announcement was made on the
highest authority that Hon. Joseph H..
Cnoate of New York would be nominated
ambassador to Great Britain.
In the House.
There were less than 100 members on
the floor when the house met at noon yes

leries was large
Mr.. Simpson, populist, of Kansas, and
Mr.. Lewis, democrat, of Washington, ap-
peared in their places for the first time
this session and attracted considerable at

The blind chaplain in his invocation
referred feelingly to the critical illness
of Mr. Dingley, the republican floor lead
er, and prayed for his speedy recovery.
Under the special rule adopted before
the recess the house took up considera
ton of the bill to define and punish
crimes in the territory of Alaska and pro

only felt sure that we had started none
too soon. 1t was bright starlight, Sc
we skulked along fences, which led us
a roundabout way. till we came near
our house, waiting among the pear
trees Of the garden.
The kitchen door was open, my father
standing in it, in silhouette against the
candle-light, speaking in an earnest
tone to two men who stood little out
side the threshold. Other figures stood
at intervals around the house, very
steadfaSt and alert, except one who
seemed to be looking in our direction.
II tell you there's no one but my own
family in my house." heard my father
say.
one Of the men replied, That's all
your word for it, when there's a niger
in the case. We shall have TO search
the house"
Then, with a terror that seemed TO
melt my legbones and take my heart
ofmy body, | realized that our house
was beleaguered by slave-hunters. The
two men at the door pushed in past my
father, while the others stood more
alert. The man who was looking our
way moved toward us as directly as If
he saw us, though the negro and |, by
common impulse, crawled quickly be-
hind the trunks of two pear-trees a few
feet apart.

right between us, and | made out dis
tinctly the tall, muscular form and red
bearded face Of our neighbor Sherman.

crouching figure of my companion like
a tiger on his prey, and wondered If a
sudden attack in the rear by 12-year
old boy could be of any avail.
He turned neither to the right nor to
the left as he passed between us, nor
paused as he whispered with sharp dis
tinctness, Go back to my barn and lay |

A few PAGES beyond us he turned |
about and passed between us again, re- /
peating the whispered injunction, and |

loudly enjOining vigilance upon the
others.
The negro crawled away In range of
his tree, on his hands and knees, as
stealthily as a cat, and | followed as
nearly as could in like manner, till we
gained the cover Of a fence, looking
back from which we saw the light shin
ng from successive windows as the
searching party moved from room to
'oom, while the figures OF the bes egers
we're dissolved and blotted out In the
gloom.
