manded a meal. Not getting what h
asked for he drew revolver and shot III
man dead. He was arrested and taken
before the county court at Fayetteville.
where he was convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to De hanged
on Oct. 26. 1899. Madison had little
money and secured a lawyer, who appeal
ed his case. A stay of execution was
granted, and the matter has hung fire In
the supreme court of West Virginia for
the past two years. During the past
week the case was heard, with the II
suit that the supreme court affirmed tn
lower court and held Madison guilty Of
murder.
Recently It has developed that, through
some error, the records of the clerk OF
Fayette county were made to show that
Madison had been legally executed OF
Oct. 26, 1885, the day that he was sen
fenced to be hanged. Now the question
arises, Can this man. who has already
legally eXpiated his crime on the gallows.
according to the county records, be con-
demned to death a second time?
Mr.. Roberts says that the matter is
causing no end Of comment among the
attorneys in Fayette county, but as Madi-
sons crime was such a fragrant one. and
as he has no money, It is not believed
that anything will be done In the way of
filing a demurrer TO the action Of the
court.-Cincinnad Enquirer.

"A party Of us-yOuu gsters. of course
Inquired out a scheme by which we could
beat the Chinese gambling game known
as fan-tan. Our system was carefully
gone over, and the more We examined Il
the more certain It appeared that we
had only TO play long enough in order
to amass great wealth. Finally. we
made our plans 10 go 10 the Portuguese
city Of Macao, some fifty miles away.
and clean out the gambling shops there
nFst, as they were reputed 10 be more
wealthy than the Chinese deus in Hong
Kong, and wealth was what we v~Te
after. Some of our shipmates heard OF
our scheme, and. being convinced OF the
soundness OF our systemh intrusted US
with various sums TO be invested for
their interest--the foundation of their
fortunes, as it were. Four Of us finally
set out on this important excursion,
reached Macao safely, and having Sc
cured comfortable rooms at one of the
best hotels. began our breaking process
on one Of the large gambling houses.
For a time we did well and it really
looked as II we were going to get the
best Of the game. but the banker even

THE SOCIETIES OF KNOCKERS

The world is full of people who are never
satisfied
With the way the Lord is regulating
things,
And the chances are, if any of them took
a turn and died
They'd start kicking on the pattern of
their wings.
They're a nuisance at the best
A circumferaneous pest;
II they haven't time to tell it all they
treasure up the rest
And of all the vicious
And malicious
And SeditiOuS
The Society of Knockers takes the cooky
with its walls!
They kick on everything in sight and
everything to come
They howl and growl and wildly tear
their hair;
They kick if things are humming, and
they kick if they don't hum
They kick if it is raining or is fair
They're an omnipresent bore
Though you reason and implore,
They'll back you to building and they'll
hammer all the more,
And you may try stunning
Them by running,
But the cunning
This Society of Knockers-never missed
its victim yet.
lou MAY De bravery struggling With IN
sympathetic fate,
With your reputation hanging on a
thread,
When the Knockers make appearance
and suggest to you to wait
While their hammers play a tattoo on
your head;
Though you nightly object,
It's useless to expect
That they'll treat your sensitfveness
with superf1uous respect,
And you bet penny
If there's any
Virtue in a
The Society of Knockers will present it
all to you.
Some day there'n come turning in the
long and dreary lance
And the knockee aggregation will re-

And they'll do it with a glad, tumul

doctors found out that he had died Of
acute alcoholism brought on by the
drinking of bitters.
This boom in Wall street was a big
thing for our businesses. The men who
lost drank to drown their sorrow, and
the men who won drank to celebrate. 1t

the market goes. We win anyhow. Peo-

Men don't drink so much as they used
to in business hours; that is the only
change. They drink after business, and
they make up for lost time then. The

HOW TO Go TO BUFFALO.
Pointers for Persons " ishingSstc
Attend the Pan american
Exposition.

Millions of dollars have been ex-
pended to make the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo an interest
ing and instructive affair. That
end has been accomplished and per-
sons who witness the grand display
will be impressed by the magnitude
Of the project. It is purely an
"All America" enterprise and all
Americans should see it.
All tickets to Buffalo over the
new Akron route are good for stop
over at Chatauqua Lake; and all
tickets over this route via Buffalo
to St. Lawrence River and Cana
dian Resorts and Eastern points,
including New York, can be made
good for stopovers at the Pan-Amer-
lean exposition and at Niagara
Falls. The expense Tor tickets, the
comforts enjoyed en- route, the
sights to be seen and the privileges
for extending journeys to the most
noted summer Ravens in the Lake
region, should be Investigated.
Persons who may think they are
not able to stand the cost will be
surprised at the enjoyment and
pleasure they may be able to exper-
fence at small expense. Those
who visited the Worlds Fair will
also be agreeably surprised at the
Pan-American Exposition, and
those who have never attended an
occasion of this kind should not
miss this opportunity to be a true
American by attending an American
Exposition. c. II. HAGERTY, d.
p. Agt., Louisville, KY, is waiting
to tell you about it.

once the VigiIant Was a Pirate ship

Honest Mail ship.

Few persons, even those who are in
the postal service, know that United
States mail is carried in the oldest sail
ing vessel in the water to-day, and that
the vessel has been pirate ship and a
SLAYER. Its name is the Nigilant, and
it carries the mails from St. CroiX to
St. Thomas in the West indies. In
speed il compares favorably with many
steamboats, which carry the mails, and
it can distance anything that is pro-

great Improvement by using these
single combed sports from both va

they having bred true to single
comb, clean legs, and nicely PEN
ciled plumage. "But there are
others who have started and are
breeding them, one Of these being
none other than an esteemed con-
trbutor of the American Fancier,
Mr. John Lowe, Of Swangea, Mass.
MIR. Lowe is also originating a
strain OF each variety and hardly
knows which he admires most the
Silver Pencled or Partridge Pen
ciled.. But this is not all. Mr.. II.

Gently informed me that he has
just purchased all of DR.. N. B.
Aldrich S Partridge Penciled
Rocks, besides lot of other birds
of this variety from other breeders.
So it would seem that Massachu-
sets is a veritable hotbed in the
production of these new Penciled
Rocks. The writer has three pull
lets and a cockerel or two of these
single combed sports in the Par
fridge Penciled variety, which, i'll
mated together, might produce sim
gle ccmbed results only, and if we
conclude to do this will be ain it"
too, but we will do nothing of the
sort. The two varieties Of Penciled |
Wyandottes keep us busy thinking, |
and a rose comb suits our taste
better than single comb. There
is probability that "there are
others" in different parts of the
world who are breeding these new
Penciled Plymouth Rocks besides
those mentioned above These,
however, are all that / have heard |
of thus far. l do not doubt but that
these two varieties will be brought
to very high standard of perfec-
ton, or at least they will soon be
brought up to an equality with the
Partridge Cochin and Dark Brah-
ma in color and markings, as the
Partridge Cochin and Dark Brah-
ma can be used IN improving these
new varieties. 1t will be noticed
that have used the name "Par-
fridge Pencled" This name will
still leave the two varieties in the
same (Penciled) class. Geo. H.
