Poi1fs On m Lobster.

A lobster is found In the water, but
not always--in fact, some of the most
successful lobsteSs that ever lobstered
were born and raised on dry land.
One can usually tell lobster by its
actions. For instance. If your man
enters a crowded drawing ro 4 and
walks all over the feet Of the assem-
bled guests without their consent or
approval the young man at once be-
comes q lobster.
The fathers Of Holsters usually have
money. In fact, 1t is difficult to be a
real stand up and fall down lobster
unless the Holsters father has money.
1t is an odd fact that many girls
seem to admire Holsters. 1t would
seem that girl ought to know better.
but she doesn't until she marries a
lobster. Then she tumbles.
HOLSTERS have no brains. If you
don't believe 1t, split lobsters head
open with an ak If you don't care any
thing about the ak.
This world would be a much more
desirable abiding place If there were
no Holsters In it.-Ohio State Journal.

FRIDAY EVENING. Ger. II, 1901
The Holly chieftain., 1901-11-01
czo,sosx's Prison Life.

Auburn, \. Y. Oct. 20.-Czolgosz was
n carefully secluded prisoner in Au
burn pentientiary, and his confinement
and execution We're devoid of sensa
tionalism. State Superintendent of
Prisons Cornelius V. Collins was deter
mined that the prisoner. despite the
enormity of his crime, should gain no
undue nOtoriety and issued strict orders
for his complete seclusion. These or
dcrs We're carefully carried out, and
from the time the prisoner entered the
prison until the time he was brought
ts the death chair to-day he was prac
tically out of public view.
During his Imprisonment the post
brought more than 1000 letters, papers
and packages to the prisoner, but none
of these We're ever delivered to him.
They came from the army of letter
writing cranks and We're of every char
acter, from harmless to vicious. The
prison officials felt that the delivery OF
such quantity of mail would not only
seriously disturb. him. but would have
given him false idens as to his ,promi-
nence and Importance. The other pris-
oners in the death chamber were not
permitted to talk to him, and the
guard who kept the death vigil
watched in unbroken silence.
Early in October Superintendent Col
Inns had lengthy interview with him.
Night was chosen for the inquiry, and
at 0 o'clock the superintendent called
on Czolgosz. The prisoner was trans
ferred to another part Of the prison.
where there was no one to overhear
the conversation. For the first few
minutes Czolgosz sat in silence, and
the superintendent began to despair of
getting any information. Finally, just
as he was about to leave, CzOigosz
answered one of his queries. From
that time on he talked freely, but his
utterances contained no enlightenment
as to the cause for his crime or posi-
BILE conspiracy. The most important
statement he made was one in which
he absolutely denied that he had
handkerchief tied about his hand, or
that the pistol was concealed in any
other place but his coat pocket.

were told to quickly follow the warden
and state superintendent of prisons,
and after walking through the long
corridor took their places silently be-
side the death chair In the execution
room. The iron door leading to the
condemned cell was closed, but be-
hind 1t the war,!cn's assistants were
preparing Czolgosz for death. The
warden waited until the witnesses
were seated and then made the usual
formal declaration that those present
in the room were merely there as wit
nesses to a legal execution of muir
derer, and that under no circumstanc-
es and no matter what the provoca-
tiOn, no one was to leave his seat or
make any disturbance.
Electrician Davis then put upon the
arms of the chair a bank Of twenty
two incandescent electric lamps and at
tachlng the electrical wires. passed
the current through them SO that the
lights glowed out brightly.
An assistant. in the meantime. put
the two electrodes, which were lined
with sponges, into two pals Of salt
water. so as to get them wet enough
to prevent the current from burning
the victims flesh.
The current was applied at 1:12 n. m.
and the heart ceased to beat at 1:12:3O

Scarborough appealing for equality In

ltorial the Daily Chronicle remarks
that Great Britain, il she had similar
negro population, would probably act

negro as below the level of citizenship

Washington, Oct. 29.-The finnl pro-
tocol closing the negotiations at Pc
kin between the Chinese plenipotentiar-
les and the representatives of the pow
ers, as submitted by Special Commits
sioner Rockwell to the State Depart
ment, is a long document, consisting of
twelve distinct articles. In general
terms these recite the measures taken
by China to satisfy the powers for the
Boxer outbreak and the assassination
Iof the German minister, such as the dis
patch of the embassy to China; the
promise to erect n monument to the
memory of Won Ketteler and a memor-

Characteristic Chinese methods ap-

officials and the rehabilitation of the
memory of others who protested
against the outrageous breaches of in

EXECUTION OF CZOLG LGOSZ
I AT AUBURN STATE PRISON

Auburn, n. z, Oct 20-At 7:12:3O
| this morning Leon +. Czolgosz, the
murderer of President Mckinley, paid
the life penalty for his crime in the
electric chair at the Auburn state
prison.
The prisoner made brief speech In
the chair. He said lie was not sorry
for what he had done, but expressed
regret that he had not seen his father.
The prisoner was given three contacts
of electricity before he was pronounced
dead.
The assassin did not break down.
II killed the President because he
was an enemy of the good people-of
the good working people. l am not
sorry for my crime"
These We're his words as the guards
hurried him into the chair.
a moment later, mumbling through
the half-adjusted mouth straps, he
said:
Il am awfully sorry could not see
my father"
7 Czolsosz retired last night at 10
o'clock and slept SO soundly that when
Warden Mead went to the cell shortly
before ) O'clock this morning the guard
inside had to shake Czolgosz to awaken
him. He sat up on the edge of his cot
and made Good morning.
: The prison official took from his
pocket the death warrant and read 1t
