RLoTTlNe OUT THE ASSASSIN.

The assassin of President Mckinley
died in the electric chair last Tuesday
morning. The manner of his death
and the seclusion in which the wretch
has been kept has disappointed the
anarchists who would have made a
. hero of him, If such creatures have
any conceptions of heroism; at any
rate they would have made of him
and the occasion an opportunity for
advertising anarchy and attempt
also to draw sympathy for the assas-
sin. All such schemes however, were
brought to naught through the good
Judgment of the state and prison Off
Gals and Czolgosz has had no more
opportunity to pose as distinguished
criminal than if he had been a snake
or vicious beast that is put to death
for the public good. Nor will his re-
latives have chance to place him in
a grave where anarchists can see the
mound beneath which his bones will
moulder. The prison officials were
discreet to secure from the assassin's
brother a REIMBURSEMENT of the re-
mains and his body will be buried in
the prison grass yard where perhaps
quick lime will facilitate the decompo.
sition of his worthless carcass
The assassin as Teall as his abettors
were disappointed z all that transpir-
ed after the death of President Nc
Kinley. They had hoped to create in
tense feeling which would lead to the
present and future benefit of anarchy
but the wise course was pursued OF
isolating the criminal after he was
condemned. He was dead to the world
from, the time he entered Auburn
prison until he was admitted to brief
interview with relatives and to the
presence of priest whom he scorn-
fully rejected There is absolutely
nothing in his miserable existence
since he became murderer that can
appeal in the least to the sympathies
of either good men or good women
His anarchistic friends were intiml
dated and overwhelmed by the public
sentiment and have not dared to make
open demonstrations. Anarchy in
stead of being strengthened by this
murder has been crippled and it
loathsome head has hidden from sigh
fearful of the righteous vengence OF
people who will not permit such
sentiment to exist in this country.
is possible that the conspirators be

Kinley would not be seriously RESENTED
by the minority party that vote
against him but they see now ho'

AT the First Baptist church, Indian
zpolis. the pastor. the Rev. Thomas J
villers preached recently on the sub
sect. The Century-Sunset and Dawn"
The sermon was largely n resume of
the achievements of the Nineteenth
century and brief presage of the pos
sible Developments of the coming CEN
tury. Mr. villers reviewed the ma
terial progress the world has made. He
said: Our material progress has been
marvellous We have grown from
nation of 5000. 900 at the beginning of
the century to a nation of $4,000, 600.
When the century began we owned
scarcely a quarter OF the land which
We now possess. Nearly all OF our
enormous wealth has been amassed
since is4o. While England is the rich
est country OF the old world. our ac-
cumuiations ten years ago exceeded
hers by $500, 900 900. Among the
great inventions which have added to
our material welfare was the pillow in
1914, the first ocean steamer in 1919,
the reaper in 1884, the sewing machine
in 1sie. and the Atlantic cable in 1856.
The most notable development, how
ever. was the first railroad in 1880. The
little line thirteen miles long has been
growing for the last sixty-five years At
the rate OF 5000 miles annually. The
telegraph. whose wires in 1874 reached
from Washington TO Baltimore, has

FRiLLS OF FASHION.

Variations in chiidren's gowns bios
som out from time to time, even though
they are very slight. and small girls
rival their mothers in their ambition
to keep up to date.
Soft wool materials make up very
prettfly in this way. In figured French
flannel the collar may be made of the
same and trimmed with rows of narrow
braid Or velvet ribbon. Skirts OF the
small gowns are usually plain. but the
older girls have some sort of trimming,
either tucks. stitched bands. ruffies or
velvet folds, stitched on.
The long waisted mode, in which the
waist line rounds down low in front,
is conspieuously evident among the
gowns for girls over 10 years of age,
and the small gowns for dainty little
girls OF 6 initiate this fashion as much
as possible by having the long waist
all around Guimpe dresses, which
never seem to go out Of style, are suit
able for all ages, from TO the more
mature years of middle age.

the kingdom of small costumes, and the

narrow lace revers are carried down the
entire length of the front, as shown in

is made by two box plaits in front. one
at either side from the yoke to the
hem. and two in the b-k. giving a
long effect to the waist, which is de-
fined with a narrow velvet belt ending
in small velvet rosettes at either side
