BEGGING To
Be FLOCCED.
James NJ. Bernard of PHILADELPHIA
Wants Twenty Lashes.
AND PlLL0RY ON SATURDAY WEEK
Result of an Argument and Wager
Causes Phi1adelphian to Submit
Himself to Sheriff Wharton
for Treatment"

According to a mysterious letter re-
ceived by Sheriff Wharton yesterday.
James NJ. Bernard OF Philadelphia. lis a
man of bizarre pastimes, he has asked
Sheriff Wharton of Dover, to oblige
him by standing him up ait the Della
ware whipping post and giving him
twenty lashes.
Back of his curious request, however,
is a wager. Bernard and his friend,
Conrad Henry, had an argument about
the right of sheriff to whip amy free
man, even in Delaware Bernard CON
tended that he hadn't, and, with the
courage of his conviction, offered to put
it TO a physical test.
In his letter TO Sheriff Wharton re-
ceived to-day, he says: "If he QUhe
sheriff. backs Henry's arguments, and
has the nerve to do it, l will allow him
to place me at the post and give me
twenty lashes. I will ask him to pun
ish me the same day (whipping day. as

the spectators and prepare a private
session, SO as not Ito injure his repu-
tation and make an unnecessary fuss
in the papers.
If the sheriff chooses Ito place me in
the pillory for one hour or less, let
him show that he can do it. I promise
perfect submission, and will mo more
hesitate ITO put on pants used ON fog
ged criminals, or to place my neck and
wrists in the pillory, than to stand at
the post" -
The men will doubtless have their
Journey from Philadelphia for their
palms, for the county officials object to
uhe post being used either for exhibit
tion purposes or for the decision of
wagers.

DYING WOMAN
SENT FOR BRYAN.
The Democratic Leader Left Crowd
to Visit Her and She Prayed
For His Success.

Phoenix, Ariz., April 13.-"May the
Lord be gracious to you; may your es-
tate on earth be the highest the people
can give; may God preserve you to be
of the greatest service to your coun-
try"
This was the invocation under which
William jennings Bryan bowed his
head while in Phoenix and under the
stimulus of which he made one of THE
strongest speeches ever heard from
'him.
The blessing came from a woman
who knew she was near the grave. She
is Catholic of exceptional devoutness.
lit was as though word had come
from ON high ito one whom God had
destined for the grandest service, and
think it was so accepted by Col
Bryan" said ONE who witnessed the
scene.
Mrs. Thomas E. Dalton, wife of a
leading Democrat, is of middle SgH and
was once prominent in society, a wo-
man of remarkably attractive presence
and of strong mind and influence.
IA year ago she was told that she was
incurably affected by an internal can
Ger. During the past few weeks she
has failed rapidly till she is now little
more than a shadow.
She has taken the heenest interest
in the campaigns and travels of the
Democratic leader, and to him. when he
came to Phoenix, she sent word, re-
questing a visit The request came
while Mr. Bryans apartments We're
Ithronged. but he promptly responded.
When he entered the room where the
sufferer lay she met him with a long
and puzzled look, and with the excla-
nation, why, Mr. Bryan, you look
very much like Mckinley"
The answer was quick: Madam,
assure you the resemblance is entirely
external"
Mrs. Dalton described her pleasure
in meeting one she deemed so noble in
purpose and so high in character, and
whom she had so admired for the
steadfastness Of his aim. The visitor
responded briefly and with tenderest
feeling and then came the blessing,
while every head was bowed.
Il will never see you again. said
she, land wish you to know you have
given me one of the last pleasures
shall know. God bless you and your
work
Bryan accepted from his stricken
hostess "a bouquet, from which he Sc
lected a single flower, to hand back to
the donor. Then, with tear-filled eyes,
he bade her adieu.

U. S. SENATORS ELECTED
BY THE PEOPLE
Amendment Which Has Passed the
House Held Up in Senate.

Washington, April 16.-The House
joint resolution proposing am amend
ment ito the Constitution so as to have
United States Senators elected by dl-
rect popular vote of the people was laid
before the Senate to-day and Mr. But
Ter 0Pop., N. Co. suggested that as the
subject had often been considered by
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, there was no necessity of its be-
ing now referred ito that committee.
He thought that the Senate ought to
act ON the matter without reference to
the committee.
Mr.. Chandler (Rep., N. H) chairman
of the committee on privileges and
elections, objected to amy imputation
agai--st the committee. and Mr.. Butler
disclaimed having any such purpose in
his remarks.
Mr.. Hoar (Rep., Mass.) spoke of the
great Importance of the proposed
change, and expressed his surprise that
the proposition to destroy the equality
of the States should be argued by a
Senator from North Carolina The
subject was one entitled to deliber-
ation, reflection, the study of history,
and the comparison of the advantages
of the new scheme and the old scheme.
Therefore he hoped that the Joint reso-
luton would go to the committee and
receive full consideration at a time
when there were NO other great sub
jects pending.
Mr.. Butler (with whom Mr.. Chandler
had had a whispered conversation) ex-
pressed his Willingness now to have
the matter referred Ito the committee
ON privileges and elections, as he was
assured that There was majority of
the committee in favor of action upon
it,
Mr.. Pettus ODem., Ala.) deprecated
having "a committee forced to consider
a matter, because of "a certain clamor,
particularly when the matter concerned
ONE of the corner-stones of the repub-
lie.
The Joint resolution was referred to
THE committee ON privileges and cleo
tions.

BOYS SHOOT A PLAYMATE.
Were Practicing for War in Happy
Valley When Accident Occurred,

"A crowd of boys vino became enthu-
siastic over the Boer war, and wanted
to become expert marksmen with re-
volvers, came TO grief on Monday even
ing.
Several boys had managed to obtain
possession of revolvers and cartridges
and with these they repaired to the
outskirts of the town, known as "Hap-
py Valley"
John WheaItley, a boy who was going
with q message to his father who is
employed ait Hazel Brothers Creamery,
saw the boys shooting wildly and as
Stunning warlil1e attitudes, and John
started to run.
Just then, Dawson Wilcutts and
Seagar Gibson shot in his direction,
and. were paralyzed with fright to see
WIheatley grasp his side, reel and fall
A bullet had entered his right side be-
low the waist, and DR.. T. o. Clements
could NOT find it after probing for sew
eraI inches.
Gibson, one of the boys who shot, de-
clared to-day that he was simply ex-
amining his pistol when it accidentally
went off. Walter Wheatley, father OF
the wounded boy, has advised against
prosecuting the youths until it is
known whether or not his boys wound
is a mortal ONE
The affair will doubtless cause a gem
eral investigation of the youths who
carry firearms, and result in bringing
them before Chief Justice Lore.

A TRUST IN HIDES.
Four Men in Jail for Stealing and
Selling Skins.

Four colored men seem to have
formed peculiar trust by engaging
in the business of stealing hides from
one tanner and selling them to another.
Charles Norris, Abe Turner, Henry
Turner and Joe Turner, Jr., are in Jail
for engaging in this Illegal business.
They were arrested yesterday and TAX
en- before Magistrate Cooper by Con-
stables Killen and Hurd, and were held
for court for stealing $40 worth of beef
hides from Jacob Simons and selling
them to the ]. Stein & Sons Company.
