A man entirely bald except a little
tuft OF hair at the base of the brain
behind the ears, frequently took off
his hat and scratched his head back

you can ketch 'em all in five minutes. :"

Lynchings and Executions.

1t is a curious fact, as shown by
the statistical compilations of the
Chicago Tribune, that the lynchings
and the legal executions in the
United States during 1900 were
almost evenly balanced, the former
numbering lis and the latter 11S.
The lynchings last year increased
eight as compared with 1899, and
the executions decreased twelve.
Of the lis 1ynchings reported last
year LOT occurred in the South and
eight in the North. Louisiana and
Mississippi lead each with twenty to
her discredit. Georgia follows with
sixteen, Florida with nine, Alabama
with eight, Tennessee with seven, Ar
kansas and Virginia with six each,
Texas with four and Colorado, Indiana
and North Carolina each with three.
Kansas, Missouri, South Carolina and
West Virginia each had two, while
Kentucky and Maryland each had one.
OF the entire number of victims of
lynch law 107 were negroes and the re-
manning eight we're white.
The legal executions during the
year, as already stated, numbered 115.
OF these, eighty took place in the
South and thirty eight in the North.
Texas heads the list with eighteen, and
then come Pennsylvania with fifteen,
Georgia with fourteen and North Car
DINA with nine. Virginia had seven,
Louisiana had six, California had five,
and Alabama. New Jersey, Tennessee
and Arizona each had four, while
Missouri, Maryland, Montana, New
York, South Carolina and the Dis
trict of Columbia each had three. IL
linois and the State of Washington re-
port two each, and Connecticut, Flor

portance of the convention was great
and the spinsters' enthusiasm for hus-
bands remained undampened by the
elements on the outside. A goodly,
curious crowd of spectators assem-
bled, too, at the Opera house; and the
evening was of such taking charact-
err as to call for repetition on Satur
day night, at which time the hall was
crowded, the weather even having
smiled upon the event. Miss WenDer.
young business woman from the
West, inaugurated the evening and
was given half the net proceeds for
her services, which amounted to s3o.
The remaining half went to the Ladies'

duously labored for the success of the
