FATHER.

Auburn, N. Y, Sept. 20. - Czolgosz,
President McKinley's murderer, COL

he fell over and moaned and groaned.
evincing the most abject terror. AS
soon as the handouts were unlocked
the man was dragged into the princi-
pal keepers office. AS In the case of
all prisoners, the officers Immediately
proceeded to strip him and put on
new suit of clothes. During this opera
ton Czolgosz cried and yelled, making
the prison corridors echo with evil
dences of his terror. The prison ply
stefan, DR.. John Germ, examined the
man and ordered his removal 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 was suffering from
fright and terror, but said that he was
shamming TO some extent. The col
lapse of the murderer was a surprise
to everv one. En- route from Buffalo
he showed no indication of breaking
down. He ate heartily of sandwiches
and smoked cigars when not eating.
He talked some and expressed regret
for lis crime. He said: IT am sspe-
cially sorry for Mrs. Mckinley" He
reiterated his former statement that
III had no accomplices.
To Jailer Mitchell he sent this mes
sage to his father:
Tell Kim I am sorry left such
bad name for him"
Czolgosz was in normal condition ia
the afternoon and seemed to have fully
recovered from his collapse.

A pair of Kansas lovers the other
day went to Iowa to escape the law
which forbids the marriage of first
cousins. The same day in Kansas
town a couple from Colorado took ad-
vantage of Kansas law which per-

the lapse of six months. These cases
led the Kansas City Journal to sug-
gest that the states send ambassadors
to each other with power to negotiate
treaties through which uniformity in
marriage laws might be secured.

II a supper be given, 1t is a good idea

THE bat takes airy rounds on leathorn

And the hoarse owl his woeful dirges

And coming events cast their shadows

"The iron tongue of midnight hath

"If you can look into the seeds of time.
And say which grain will grow and
which will not"
''No witch hath power TO charm,
So hallowed and gracious is this

some there be that shadows kiss;
Such have but a shadows bliss"
The only drawback to the forthcOm-
ing celebration Is that Halloween nuts
are higher in price. The supply Of both
foreign and domestic nuts is limited.
and the prices asked are from five'to
six per cent. higher than a year ago,
and even chestnuts and cider are

Everybody is on the tip-too OF ex-
pectancy as Halloween approaches.
and surely the mystic festival never has
been observed hereabouts as it will be
on next Thursday night. OF course
the greatest amount Of general interest
centres in the big parade to be given
under The auspices of the Wilmington
Bicycle Club, but after that is over
there will be parties galore, and 1t Is
in these that the young people par
ticularly are interested. Some viii go
in costume. while others will be in or
binary dress. But, be that as it may,
everybody will be intent on having a
good time and learning, If possible, the
goods the gods have in store for them
by the lifting Of the veil of the future,
which. to believers. beneiicent fairies
sometimes bring about. In view OF
this, legends and tales and tricks
peculiar to the carnival are eagerly
sought. and no doubt those appended
will prove of interest
In the first place it is a good idea

out the idea. and clever little verses
would add nightly to their charm. For

your tags.
But not in your velvet gown.
Bring a sheet and a case your form 10

And little white mask to cover your

Games for the evening are almost
legion. and the time-honOred custom Of
hobbing for apples is the most effective
means OF breaking the ice. English
walnuts containing ant quotations add
considerably to the fun of the evening.
A plan to discover the name of ones
life partner is interesting. Each girl
is called upon to write tho initials Of
three men and each man the initials
of three girls on tiny scraps Of paper.
These are rolled up and placed in the
