IDOGS The Baby Act when

BREAKS down AND SOBS|
Murderer Cries Like a Child When
he Realizes that he Must
Die for His Crime.

Auburn, N. Y, Sept. 27.-Czolgosz
President MoKinley's murderer, in
custody Of Sheriff Caldwell OF Erie
county and two deputies, arrived In
Auburn at 8 10 a m. About so yards
from the depot, awaiting the arrival of
the train, was crowd of about 22O PEG
pie. Either fer fear Of the GRO wd which
was not very demonstrative, or from
the sight Of the prison. Czolgosz' legs
gave out and the two deputy sheriffs
we're compelled to practically carry
the man into the prison. Inside the
gates his condition became worse. al

As soon as the haDdcuff. were un-
locked The man was dragged into the
principal keep'r's tffice. As in tbs
case of al prisoners, the officers imme-
diaJely proceeded to strip b m and put
on new suit of clothes. Duiiog the
operation Ozoleotz Dried and yelled.
The prison ply sician, DR.. Gerin. ex-
smined the man and ord red his re-
moval to cell in the cOnde mned row.
The collapse was a surprise to every
one. En- route from Buffalo he showed
no indication Of breaking down. He
ate heartily of sandwiches and smoked
cigars when not eating. He talked some
and expressed regret for his crime. He
said:
e'"I sm especially sorry for Mrs. Nc.
Kinley"
He reiterated his former statements
and declared that he never heard of the
man under arrest in st. Louis, who
claimed to have lied the handkerchief
ovsr his hand, ooncsaling the pistol
with which the president was shot He
says the handkerchief was not tied,
but he went behind the Temple OF Mus

hide the weapon and then took his place
in the crowd, To JaliOr Mitchell he
sent message to his father:

CAUGHT A LIVE WIRE.
John Edwards, CoIored, Has a Narrow
Escape from Death,

During the storm last night the cleo
trio wires near Undertaken Moore's es-
Establishment became loosened and one
reached to the ground.
John Edwards, a we'll known oolored
man was passing and got tangled In
the wire. His clothes were wet and
standing on the damp ground added
to the circuit.
He was considerably shocked and
called loudly for help which was given
him. When Edwards was disentangled
it was found that he was shoe ked bad
ly and burned some, but neither the
shock or the burns are regarded as very
serious.

~. wen knock off few more barna-
cles. Give it TO them at the water line
again."
Another deadly boom of shot crossed
the sea, and more vessels of the enemy
wavered. The admiral smiled as he saw
it.
Il think If there is any running done
today the enemy will lead the race
And it makes me a bit sorry we are so
slow. I want to be at least in sight
when they haul down their flag"
The admiral fortunately was not far
away when the enemy capitulated. and
when all the world sent him congratu-
lations over his remarkable victory he
was in the habit of smiling grimly and
referring to the conflict when with his
staff as the victory OF the barnacles.
When the ship was sent home and
put in drydock to be scraped for the re-
moval of the little parasites on the bot
tom of the vessel that had so retarded
its progress, the admiral shook his head
sadly.
I hate to see them go, for there is
nothing that keeps a mans courage at
the sticking point so firmly as the
knowledge that he can't safely funk"
And in memory Of the fight he made
the workmen give him the largest bar
nacle. which happened to be the vain
glorious Captain Billy.

owners.
The barnacles enjoyed their life Of
travel. In the great tropic seas they
would have seen many strange things
had their sight been a little better; but,
poor creatures, they had only single
eye that kept guard over their stom-
achs. and this orb was never off duty
since eating was their chief occupation.
The barnacles had all seen little bit
of the world when, as young Larvae.
they emerged from the eggs and began
swimming about the brine with as
much aptitude as though they had TAX
en- a course of lessons. When they at
tached themselves to the ship, they had
not given up their rowing life. since the
ship did their travelling for them. The
larger the barnacle colony grew the
more difficult was it for the ship to ma
newer. The captain one day said:
This ship gets clumsier every day.
If the enemy makes it too hot for US,
it's mighty poor running Wen be able
to do"
And when the admiral overheard the
he said:
1.-The ship that can't run is the best
one in the fleet, for the men aboard her
know that they must fight or die. That
flag up there and he pointed to his
country's colors flying bravely at the
masthead, never surrenders while 1
sail under it,"
And the sailors. hearing the admiraPs

mentioned that the landlord was a
countryman of mine. 1 learned later
that he was from Val Roger. a suburb
OF Paris, which I cali my home, as I

The barnacles opened wide their eyes

tain Barnacle. THE insolence of that

call a cannon ball, and the enemy is FIR
ing at me. Draw up your feet, or you
may have them shot off. I'll attend to
this affair myself
The other barnacles hastily withdrew
into their shells and saw no more of
the conflict, so for after history they had
to depend altogether on Captain Bar
nacle's own account of the battle
On deck quite a lively scene was
enacted. The sailors, stripped to the
waist. worked desperately at the guns,
firing at a group of vessels that attack
ed them dercely from the darkness.
Now one vessel would burst into a sheet
of fame as a broadside was fired, and
the great shots. kissing so thickly
through the air. would have brought
horror to less brave and seasoned war
riors than those upon the little barnacles'
ship. The admiral stood. with marine
glass. beside the captain, apparently
quite unconscious of the iron hail.
They've got twice as many ships as
we have, and their firing is dangerously
.accurate!" the admiral grumbled.
We're doing the best we can, adj

sorry we can't maneuver this ship or

Captain" the admiral tartly replied.

ship on the left to move little nearer
to the enemy when they deliver that
next charge. I believe in giving it to
them in the face. No skulking in the

Well, matters looked pretty dark for
the admirars feet for awhile. The en-
emy's ships outnumbered his and their
crews could fight we'll One by one the
weaker feet looked for the order to re-

what the cheering was about. but Billy

complimentary allusion to his presence
on the craft and that they might go on
