the most realistic fiction was enacted
in the jail-yard here on Saturday.
A woman and her lover mounted the
scaffold to pay the penalty for the mur-
der of her husband. The man was
sullen and allowed the moose to be
placed around his neck without resist
ance. The woman was in Mysteries
and had to be supported by the hang
man and his deputy. Just as the hang
man had finished adjusting the rope
around the mans neck and was about
to place the black cap over the head of
the half-fainting woman, jailer
rushed out of the prison and up to the
foot of the scaffold and cried to the
hangman to stop, waving in his hand
reprieve.
The man showed little feeling as the
rope was removed; the woman sobbed
with joy. But her happiness was
short-lived. The reprieve was for the
man only. When the hangman an
nounced the message the woman clung
to her lover in frenzy, but with a curse
he flung her off. refusing to bid her
farewell as he stumbled down the gall
lows steps.
The woman was then placed on the
trap and hanged.

DEWEY AND LEE.
Henry Watterson Names Them for
President and Vice. President.

Louisville, KY, Jan. g. - Henry
Watterson, in leading editorial this
morning in the Courier journal, under
the caption, "The New Years Outlook
for the Democratic Party nominates
Admiral Dewey for president and Gem
eral Fitzhugh Lee for vice-president.
In part, he says:
"To come down to hard facts. old
horse-sense sitting hl the rocker, the
issue of free silver being relegated to
the limbo of busted shades, the tariff
issue peacefully 1epasing upon the shelf
where the Cleveland administration
left it to wait for free trade under new
conditions-the season of famine ended
and the season of plenty arrived-what
are the Democrats to do for a national
platform and ticket?
''There is but ore thing for them to
do. The voters have about made up
their minds that party pledges are fab
ricated chiefly to be broken. Let the
Democrats, banking on this cifcum-
stance, put up ticket without plat
form; let them nominate candidates
for president and vice president who
are a platform in themselves; and, if
they can induce the great admiral and
the gallant general to accept, here is
the card to win with:
''For president George Dewey. of
Vermont.
''For -president-F Fitzhugh Lee,
of Virginia.
''Platform-The Stars and Stripes.
God bless them.
"Even now the Republican leaders,
who rarely fail to take time by the
forelock, and who never let go their
grip upon the shore line, are planning
to make their campaign of 1900 on the
broad principle of national unifcation
and expansion. They are rot going to
handicap themselves with any ancient
platform rubbish. High tariff is no
'onger wanted by the manufacturers,
for whom it was invented. The bloody
shirt, having served its turn, has gone
to the old clothes basket. The presi-1
dent knows his business.
cat the opportune moment we shall
see William Mckinley and Joseph
Wheeler march down to the footlights,
hand in hand, the flag above them
beneath them embiazoned on strip of
red, white and blue. The land we love
from end to end, or words to th.t
effect. And then what? What are
the Democrats going to do about it?
How are they going to meet it?'

PROSPEROUS TO THE END.
The Old Year Goes out with Business
Booming.

New York, Jan. 2.-Bradstreet's
says: Concisely stated, the reports re-
ceived as to the years business in all
sections of the country point to an un-
precedented volume of domestic and
exoprt trade. which is reflected in bank
clearances that break the high record
of 1899. The general level of prices of
staple securities at the close of the
year is at the highest point reached tor
five years past. Railroad earnings ex-
ceed all previous years, and finally
there was a small number Of failures,
and lower liabilities than reported in
any year for at least five years past.
These gem raj results in the country at
large have been achieved, too, lnotwith-
standing the outbreak and conclusion
of a foreign war, and in spite, also, of
unfavorable conditions in some indus
tries, notably textile manufactures,
which, combined with unfavorable
weather early in the year. and the
lowest price for cotton on record, exer-
cised an unfavorable influence.
But the close of the year finds an i'm
proyement even in these directions. and
returns as to retail trade and particu-
larly holiday business, are striking1y
good in all sections. B5st reports as
to distributive trade naturally come
from the graingrowing sections of the
country, which were the first to meet
an improvement resulting from free
foreign demand for our cereals, but in
dIcations> are not wanting that this i'm
provement is gradually percolating
throughout the entire business COM
munity, and coupled with the unprece-
dented export trade in manufactured
goods, and the fact that-we are selling
So worth abroad for every dollars worth
Me buy, renders possible the gains re-
ported in distributive trade of 1898
over 1897, ranging from 10 TO- 40 per
cent, with likewise good exports FROM
the manufacturing centers, excepting
tire textile industries already men-
toned.
The export trade of the country for
the year. as above intimated, is the
heaviest ever known, and will probably
exceed $1.250. 900 in value, thus being
nearly double the imports. Our ex-
port trade in manufactured goods, it
must be observed. is the heaviest ever
known, and for the first time in
our country history exceeded the value
of imports of similar goods.
There were 1888 failures in the
United States in 1888, involving liabil-

Another Awful Calamity Occurred al
HankOw.

Another Awful Calamity Occurred at
Hankow.
Victoria, B. c.. Jan. 3.-The steam
ers Victoria and Yamaguchi Maru have
arrived with news from the Orient up
to December Is.
Another serious calamity, writes the
Hankow correspondent of the North
China Daily News, has befallen the
people of Hankow; about 10, 900 of the
inhabitants have met death by drown
ing. About noon December half the
storehouses extending along the edge of
the river Han suddenly broke away and
tum bled into the water on top of all
the boats there. The houses and boats,
with all the people in them, dis
appeared in a moment. About 100
buildings and the same number of
boats are gone.
News comes of more murders of mis-
sionaries. The Japanese Herald says
an English missionary has been mur-
deled by natives and soldiers at Using
Ping. A French missionary has been
burned to death at Swatow, and Ger
man miss ionary has been mortally in
jured in Shan Tung. The murder of
an American missionary, Mrs. Butter
field, of Central China, is reported.
Advices state that since the attack
Oh the Russian troops at Andijan some
time back, discomfort and dissatisfac-
tion have been rife throughout the
province. This feeling has assumed
such proportions that the Russian au
thorities have already strengthened
their garrisons. They have, moreover,
occupied the larger villages in force,
and superseded the civil by military
administration. Not more than 200 or
500 fanatics were engaged in the attack
on the Russians, yet more than 1900
men were arrested on suspicion and
fiogged in order to extort information.
Not only were the actual malefactors
punished, but their relatives of all de-
grees were also imprisoned. In addi-
tionto this, fine of 100000 roubles
has been inflicted on the district.
