WILL RENOUNCE ANARCHISM,
Turns to the Church He DESERT
ed for Consolation.

Auburn, y. T., Oct. 23.-Lcon F..
Czolgosz, the assassin of President Nc
Kinley, who is awaiting electrocution
in the prison here during the week
commencing next Monday, fully real
izing that his death is now a question
of few days, has asked for spiritual
consolation, and yesterday after
noon received visit from Rev. Z.
Szardinski, a Polish priest of the
Roman Catholic church.
Czolgosz' request for priest of his
own nationality was made known to
Warden Mead in the morning. Fa-
ther Szardinski, who is pastor of st.
Stanislaus' church, Rochester, was in
this city attending the 40-hours' de-
votions of st. Alphonsus' church, and
was asked to visit the prisoner.
Yesterday afternoon he went to the
prison and remained there about an
hour. Upon leaving he was seen by
representative of the press, but re-
fused to be interviewed, saying that
his visit to the prison was in the in
terest of another Pole confined there.
Warden Mead however, says that
Father Szardinski saw Czolgosz, and
that he came at the prisoners re-
quest. Further than that the warden
would say nothing. Father Kelly,
who accompanied the Polish priest
to the prison, also stated that Czol-
gosz was visited.
Father Szardinsld left for Roch-
ester this evening. He declined to say
if he would return to Auburn on or
before next Monday. 1t is learned
that Czolgosz was baptized in the
Catholic church, but never received
his first communion, nor was he con-
firmed in that church. He renounced
the Catholic church when he en-
braced anarchy, and, it is said, he
will make formal statement before
his electrocution that he now re-
nounces anarchism.
Warden Mead and superintendent
Collins, at their conference in Albany
yesterday, arranged all the details
and fixed upon those to be invited to-
witness the execution. The law re-
quires that invitations be sent out
three days before the date of execu-
ton, and the law will be lived up to
in the present instance.

TWO HUGE LOG CABINS.
Uses TO which the Fallen Forest
Kings On the 81. Louis worlds
Fair Site Are to He Put.

st. Louis, Oct. 22.-Two huge log
cabins will be built with the trees
which are being felled on the Forest
park site to make room for the main
structures of the exposition. The
cabins will follow the rude architec-
ture of frontier days in the Louisiana
Purchase and furnish striking con-
trast to the palaces reared to com-
memorate the achievements of the
pioneers.
The idea of preserving in some form
the monarchs of the primeval forest
which are being laid low in the inter
est of a great spectacle of century's s
progress in the Louisiana domain is
the thought of Director of Works
Isaac S. Taylor, the man who is chop
ping down the sylvan kings on the
park site to rear the fabric of the
architectural commission.
The novel use to which the fallen
trees will be put has given the expo
sition its cabins. Their location is to
be chosen among the wooded tract on
the range of hills making up one-half
vi iit Sltt' oIlC vi tDt luStlC pullb-
ings in intended as a great restaurant
where meals prepared after the re-
cipes of frontier days will be served.
The use of the other cabin has not
been designated.
Thousands of visitors on the
Worlds fair site have been puzzled
for an understanding of girdles of
black cloth which encircle hundreds
of trees along the Wilderness drive.
These somber bands are death war
rants. They mean that every tree
with this funereal circle is doomed tc
fall. The same perplexity was met il.
bands of bloodred cloth about trees
along the western side of the park
southwardly.
The bloodred circles are respites.
They indicate that the trees so en-
circled will be removed by their roots
and replanted along the boulevards
of the exposition. Every tree with q
red band is maple. The maple is
thus favored above it's sisters of the
park forest. Yet there are not
enough naples with red bands to sup
ply the demand for natures decora-
ton, and the country will be secured
to supply the deficiency.

For the murder of William Scott.
which occurred near Jefferson Springs

peen arrested. They are all negroes.

Consider Britain's wonderful luck
in the past, says Sydney newspa-
per. 1t was a stroke of luck that
made France and Spain, instead of
joining to drive the English out of
Canada and the West Indies, waste
their strength on the siege of Glib
raltar. defended by an English cav
airy general, Elliott, who, by an
other queer chance, was also the best
defensive engineer in Europe. 1t was
another stroke of luck that ended the
Crimean war before the Indian mu-
tiny broke out, and another that pre-
vented the late Chinese shindy breed
ing European war while South AZ
rics was ablaze.
