President McKinley's assassin is
dead. Leon f. Czolgosz was
successfully electrocuted at the
Auburn prison this morning. He
was pronounced dead at 7:16:15.
With the purely mechanical cour-
age that had sustained him and
with innate cowardliness strug-
Cling to his lips the youthful
murderer, hated by the nation
and the world alike, paid the
penalty of his fearful crime.
Seated in the death chair Go
lgosz faced the witnesses and
said (:
Il shot the President because
it would benefit the good work
ing people of all nations. 1 am
not sorry for my crime"
During this time attendants
were busy strapping him to the
chair.
His last words we're .
Il am sorry I did not see my
father
This last remark was made af-
ter the strap had been drawn
across his face, yet his words
were heard by all in the room.

In order to get rid of a portion
of the vast sum in excess of the
aeeds of the Government that
has been extracted from the
people of the United States, the
Secretary of the Treasury has
been paying for bonds an aver
age of 81. 36 for every dollar due
for them. That is to say, where
a man invested three dollars in
government bonds he is receiv-
ing four in return, not through
any rise in the market value but
simply because the government
cannot afford to store the money
away from the channels of trade.
When it is noted further that
this money is extorted from all
of us simply in order to maintain
the protection to the steel and
other trusts, its outrageous char
acter becomes even more evident.

DE less violent than the training to

USE OF RAW HIDE.

Mnuls and Many other Things.
"One of the most curious OF the
many things made nowadays of raw
hide" said n man who handles such
articles in his business. lis the raw
hide pinion. or cogwhecl. You might
think that the teeth OF such a wheel
would break down and wear off quick
or than those of an iron wheel. but rs
n matter of fact they do not break,
and rawhide piniOn Will wear as long
rs an iron pinion, if not longer.
such pinions are made OF many lay
ers OF rawhidc pressed solidly to-
gether. and boltcd through and
through 10 metal plates placed on the
sides. The teeth cut across the face
of the wheel thus formed are. of
course. each composed of many lay
ers of tho thoroughly compactcd raw
hide standing cdgcwise.
"Rawhide pinions are used for many
purposes. One OF their great advan-
tages Is found in their noiselesSness.
They are used in machine shops
against iron gear, so as TO make less
noise; they are used for motor pinions
on street railway cars, and so on.
Another rather curious though now
somewhat common use for rawhide is
in the making of mauls and mallcts
having heads Of rawhide. and hide
faced hammers. These are put to Il
great variety OF uses, as for pounding
on dies and punches and on polished
metal surfaces.
"Rawhide is used for bell cord in
street cars, for all manner OF straps
and for shoe and boot laccs. 1t is used
in the manufacture of artificial limbs.
and for trunk handles and for trunk
binding, for washers, for many sorts
of harness and saddlery goods. and for
whips and lariats. and not the least Of
its uses is in the manufacture of va
rious kinds and all sizes of bclting."-
