GRIM PRISON STRIKES
TERROR TO CzOLGOSz
Upon Reaching Auburn As
sassin Collapses.
DRAGGED UP THE STAIRS

When Being Stripped Of His Clothes
For a Convict Garb He Cried and
Yelled In the Most Abject Manner.
Sends Message 20 His Father.
AUBURN, N. Y, Sept S7.-Czolgosz,
President ldcKinley's murderer, in the
custody Of Sheriff: Caldwell of Erie
county and 81 deputies, arrived in Au-
burn this morning. The prison is only
about 80 yards from the depot.
Awaiting the arrival Of the train there
was a crowd of about 200 people. Either
for fear of the crowd, which was not
very demonstrative, or from sight Of
the prison, Czolgosz's legs gave out and
two deputy sheriffs were compelled to
practically carry the man into prison.
Inside the gate his condition became
worse, and he was dragged up the stairs
and into the main hall. He was placed
in a sitting position on the bench while
the handouts were being removed, but
he fell over and moaned and groaned,
eyincing the most abject terror. AS
soon as the handouts were unlock cked tpe
man was dragged into the pl1nclpaa!!
keepers ef6ce. AS in the case OF all
prisoners the officers Immediately pro-
ceeded to strip him and put on new
suit Of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison corridors
echo with evidence Of his terror. The
prison physician, DR.. John Germ, ez-
arined the man and ordered his re-
moval to the cell in the condemned row,
which he will occupy until he is taken
to the electric chair. The doctor de-
clared that the man wes suffering from
fright and terror, but said that he was
shamming to some extent.
The collapse Of the murderer was a
surprise to every one. Enroute from
Buffalo he showed no indication of
breaking down. He ate heartily OF
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
not eating. He talked some and ex-
pressed regret for his crime. He said:
81 am especially sorry for Mrs. Nc
Kinley."
He reiterated his former staCement
that he had had no accomplices and de-
clared that he never had heard Of the
man under arrest in St. Louis, who
claimed to have tied che handkerchief
over his hand, concealing the pistol
with which the president was shot. he
says the handkerchief was not tied.
He went behind the Temple of Music,
arranged the handkerchief SO as to hide
the weapon, and then took his place In
the crowd By Jailer Mitchell he sent
this message to his father: :
ssTell him am sorry left such bad
name for him."

Tho Moors md Their noruzs.

In appearance the Moors are a very
fine race. For many generations their
mothers have been chosen for their
beauty. An active life in the saddle
has developed them physically and a
splendid appearance is the result In
addition, they have manners CT un-
equaled suavity and polish, tie result
of early years spent in thu harem.
They are so habituated to think well
of themselves as followers Of the true
prophet that an uneasy conscience
never troubles them.
A man may be an utter scoundrcl,
cruel and licantious, and yet be regard
ed as q saint If he is descended from
the prophet and conforms to the out
ward ceremonial Of Islam. His brow
is frank and unclouded. his smile is
even benevolent, and yet it would be
impossible to describe the details Of his
life. Such are the Moors-an interest
ing tableau vivant Of many chapter
in the book Of Judges, or Samuel or
tie Kings.-African Review.

The free and independent negro leads
the life that most nearly approaches

country that "only white men, black
women and asses work" and there is
truth in it. The black man lies around
all day sleeping in tie sun. His utmost
effort Is to play dice or watch a cock
fight, but sleep is his favorite occupa-

"That was Signor Slambangskl. the

A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.
The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
CDoa tI,c ScEcotists

Upon thc Scicntists.
Marx Twain's father was an ornithol-
ogist- He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on tie subject Of
birds. Whenever any one Of them dis
covered a rara avis it was the custom
to have consultation. Mark had been
witness ot several of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing new
found specimen. One day t occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal o:ni-
biologists with real circus in the
form Of Il bird lie killed = crow and
also 4 bIrnyard rooster. Plucl;ing out
the tail feathers Of both tie crow and
the rooster, lie substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those Of the CROW, pro-
ducing 4 unique effect. When lie had
the specimen nicely prepared, he went
to his father and. handing it to him.
said:
Here, father, is a very curious bird
/ shot. I thought you would be inter
ested in II"
The old gentleman gaZed upon the
specimen with astonishment. That
evening the ornithologists Of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long and
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
offshoot Of the bird Of paradise fam
lily; others had equally ridiculous no.
tions as to its ancestry. But there was
one who refused to be swerved by the
popularity Of the birds tail from the
judgment that it was Of the crow fam
lily.
"Why, just look here" he said, lift
ing the bird by it's tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came
out. There was a quick closing Of
door. Mr.. Clemens started to leave
the room.
"Gentlemen," he said, please excuse
me few moments. ] will see Samuel

Lutheran Ministers.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The English
Evangelical Luthern ministers, the con-
ference of which has just come to a
close in Christ church, Brooklyn. have
taken decisive steps to form an English
synod of churches to secede from the
present synod. The action taken by
the conference will affect 35 churches in
this and neighboring states.
A communication, signed by all the
pastors represented in the m;nisserLum,
is to be sent to the Rev, Dr.. George Q.
Haas, president of the New York synod,
asking for q letter of dismissal from
that body and a certificate of character.
From the arguments Of some of the Sc.
ceders it appeared that. whatever 40.
tion is taken with regard to the com.
munication by the New York synod, it
will not affect the determination Of the
English to form synod Of their own
