New York, Nov. 19.-The steamer

had on board thirty-four of the Chi
cage Irish ambulance corps who fought
in the Transvaal, all in good health and
spirits.
Among the American scouts and
Irish cayalrymen just arrived in this
country, after service In the Boer army,
are Private r. A. Relford of Ireland
and j. N. King of California, better
known as Dynamite Dick"

oner from the sheriff. Their every ac-
ton was marked BY calmness and de-
termination. The officer protested In
the name OF the law. and asked the
men TO allow him to take his prisoner
10 the county jail at Hugo. but his pro-
tests were disregarded. One man car
ried q rope, Of which had been formed
a hangman's moose This was slipped
over the ncgro's neck. IL was at hrst
announced that the negro was to be ex-
ecuted by hanging. Many, including
the father of the negro's victim, pro-
tested that such a death would be too
easy, n 1t was finally decided TO
leave the method OF death to the out
ragged father. He decided upon burn
Ing at the stake.
The train was Their allowed to pro-
coed, and at Lake Station, about three
miles from Limon, and ncar the scene
of the negro's crime, the party left the
train and began preparations for the
deed OF vengeance.
Suggestions OF mutilation before
burning were made, but Mr.. Frost de-
clared against IL.
Wagons were dispatched for wood,
and upon their return q score Of men
assisted in preparing ii for the fire.
When at last the preparations were
complete q further delay was made be-
cause II was known many were en-
route from Hugo and other parts OF the
county to take part In the affair. 1t
was said hat $3.50 o'clock should be the
hour for starting the fire, but 1t was
nearly an hour later when the word
was finally given.
Governor Thomas Reticeat.
Denver, Nov. 19.-When asked his
opinion regarding the burning Of the
negro murderer, Preston Porter, at Ii
mon, Governor Thomas declined to
make any statement. Early In the
week, In an interview, the governor
was quoted as saying that he had moth
ing to do with the matter.
Sheriff Freeman, of Lincoln county,
after the prisoner was taken from him,
remained on the train and presumably
went to his home at Hugo. He was
strongly opposed to the lynching, and
only consented TO take Porter back 10
Limon from Denver under the strong
est pressure from the people OF his
county.
The general sentiment expressed in
Denver approves the execution OF the
negro. but d~eprecates the method
adopted.

HWY ~ Thread a Needle.

Cincinnati Enquirer: An ingenious lady
has suggested an Improvement in the
method of holding a needle for the pur-
pose of threading it. 1t is TO be held be-
tween the third little fingers Of the
left hand instead of by the thumb and
foreinger, palm uppermost.
The advantage of this is that the
thumb and first finger can be used to
grip the smallest end of the thread as
soon as II protrudes from the eye, a
method preferable to that of letting go
the thread and endeavoring to get hold
of the end with the right hand. This pre-
vents the weight OF the cotton from drag
