dressed he laid down on the cot again
and in this attitude superintendent
Collins found him at $50 whom he
went down to visit him. The super
intendent stood in front of the steel
bars and when the guard had called
Czolgosz's attention, he said:
81 want to make q statement be-
fore you kill me-"
"What do you wish to say, Czol-
gosz," asked the superintendent.
81 want to make il when there are
lot of people present. Iwant them
to hear me-" said thr prisoner.
"Well, you cannot" said the su-
perintendent.
"Then 1 won't talk at ALL" said the
prisoner, sullenly.
After the superintendent had left
the guards brought Czolgosz's break
fast consisting of coffee, toast, eggs
and bacon, and he ate with quite a
good deal of relish. While he was
partaking Of this, the witnesses were
gathering in the office Of Warden
Mead, and at 7.O8 O'Clock the pro.
cession passed to the death chamber,
going through the long south corri.

In the chamber Electrician Davis
and former Warden Thayer, of Dan
nemoria, had arranged tho chair test,
lacing bank of % incandescent
lights across the arms and connecting
tho eleotrode wires at either end.
The witnesses we're ordered seated
and then Warden Mead briefly ad-
dresscd them saying:
Ss"You are hero to witness the legal

that yonNkeop your seats and pre-
serve absolute silence in the death
chamber, no matter what may trans
pire. There are \ulenty Of guards

and to attend to the proper details."
The prison physician, DIR. Germ,
and DR.. Carlos II. Macdonald, of

was sawed of through the thickrst

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 29.-At 7.12
o'clock this morning Leon Czolgosz,
murderer of President Mckinley,
paid the extreme penalty exacted by
the law for his crime. He was
shocked to death Ey 1,700 volts of
electricity. He went to tho chair III
exactly the same manner in which
have the majority of murderers in
this State, showing no particular
sign Of fear, but in fact, doing what
few Of them have done-talking to
the witnesses while he was being
strapped in the chair.
Czolgosz retired last night at 10
O'Clock and slept 20 soundly that
when Warden Mead went to tho cell

the guard inside bad to shake Czol-

Just as the warden stepped away
from the cell door, Czolgosz called to
him and said:
II would like to talk with the su-
perintendent."
The warden responded:
"He will be down presently"
Then the condemned man rolled
over on his cot apparently anxious to
sleep again.
At 5.l5 the guard brought to him
q pair of dark trousers with the left
leg slit 80 as to allow tho free appli-

Came through the open door
And striking, on the carpet,

Tie darling baby saw it,
And cicpi up to the spot.
His little face was bcannp
With smile of perfect joy
AS if All agcl's presence
Had filled the little boy;
And with his tiny finger,
As in fairy dream,
He touched the dot of sunshine
And followed mp the beam.
He looked up to his mother
TO share his infant bliss,
Then stopped and gave the sunbeam
A pure, sweet baby kiss
0 Lord, Our Heavenly Father,

May never leave the boy.
But in the days of trial,
When sin allurcs the youth,

And may his heart be ever
TO thee al open door,
Through which thy truths, as sunbcans
Make JOY upon life's floor.

INAUGURATION PLANS.
A Feature Of the Parade at Washington to
BE a Large Representation of the
Colleges and Universities.

Washington, Jan. IA distinctive
feature Of the second Inauguration of
President Mckinley, if plans now UNI
der way fulfill their early promise,
will be large representation of the
colleges and universities of the United
States in the line of parade for the
first time. The matter has been put
in the hands of an intercollegiate COM
mittee which has addressed invita-
tons to the presidents of more than
400 American institutions of learning,
requesting that delegations be sent
on to represent their respective insti-
buttons in the inaugural parade. 1t
Is expected that each college or uni
versity will have distinctive uni
form and banner and that the result
will be a pleasing addition to the
other details of the parade. Cheering
will be confined exclusively to the
time when the respective colleges are
passing the presidents reviewing
stand. Each delegation will be per-
mitted to give only one cheer so as
to prevent an interruption to the
cheer of the college following.
