salaries OF PRESIDENTS.

Very few persons would suspect how
small the salaries of presidents of re-
publics are, when the enormous sums
crowned heads receive are taken into
consideration. The foreigner often
thinks the $4,000 salary of the Presi-
dent Of the United States Is merely
a joke, and that he receives ten times
as much in reality, but the same for
eigner may not know that the French
President, In a country where the
wealthiest monachs once reigned, re-
ceives only $4,000 a year. The
President of the little Andorra Re-
public contents himself with q salary
of $15 year, and the President of
the Swiss Republic must be satisfied
with $1,000

NEGROES TORTURED AND HUNG.
Preacher 60 Years Old the Victim of the
Mob I'm Georgia.

Preacher 60 Years Old the Victim of the
Mob I'm Georgia.
Newman, Ca, April 24.-In the pres
ence of nearly 1900 people who sent
aloft yells Of defiance and shouts of joy,
Sam Hose, negro who committed two
of the basest acts known to crime. was
burned at the stake in public road one
and one-half miles from here yesterday
afternoon Before the torch was ap-
piled to the pyre the negro was de-
prived of his ears, fingers and other por-
tions Of his anatomy
Atlanta, Ca, April 25.-Lige Strick-
land, the colored preacher accused by
Hose of completely with the Crawford
diabolism, was hanged near Palmetto
Sunday night. He was first tortur, by
being strung up three times 10 force
him to confess. He refused. Then his
ears and one finger were cut off and
then he was hanged. This was done in
violation of a promise the mob made
to Major Thomas, Stricklands employ
er, that Strickland would be given up
to the authorities. The mob ordered
Major Thomas to leave the town, but
he defied them and said he had never
learned to run. Another mob is hunt
ing a negro named Sewell who had
expressed himself too freely regarding
the recent lynchings.
Public opinion here is practically
justification of the horror of Sunday.
Governor Gambler lays 1t to the fact
that the negro has a vote, and nowhere
Is the lynching denounced. The Meth
odist ministers met yestel day. A reso-
luton was offered first denouncing
Hoses crime vigorously and then mild
ly deprecating the lynching, but after
a long discussion it was laid over for a
week. At Savannah the press and peo-
pie condemn the lynchings in unmeas-
ured terms.

vised Nichols to wear a belt containing

was found the belt was on 1t, but there
was no money in 1t. Ascher had worked
