While Ensign Haligan was on the stand,
Mr.. Rayner sought TO bring out informa-
tion as to the American ships In sight at
the beginning of the battle of July 3, but
Judge Advocate Lemly objected on the
ground that question was Intended to show

Capt. Cooks testimony was a review OF

trary had been conveyed to Commodore
Schley until the arrival OF Capt. McCaua

ASSASSIN'S LAST WEEK.
CzoIgosz VIII Probably BE Electro
cuted mt Dawn Monday,
October %.

Auburn, n. Y, Oct. 21.-One weel;
from to-day will be Czolgosz' last day
on earth if the present plans of the
state prison officials are carried out.
The plan is to execute the assassin
at break of day on the morning of
Monday, October 2S. Except as to the
time, the execution will not differ ma
terially from the regular routine.
The first electrocution took place in
Auburn prison August 5, 1890. Since
then II men have paid the death pen
atty. The execution room where Cool
gosz will die is located in the south
wing of the prison and was specially
constructed three years ago. The cell
in which Czolgosz is confined is with
in 35 feet of the chair in which he
will die.
Since his collapse on entering the
prison Czolgosz has retained his
nerve. He refuses to talk with his
guards and speaks only when spoken
to, except to ask for smoking tobac-
co, which he is allowed to have. He
PAGES his cell and smokes all day long.
He goes to sleep every night at nine
o'clock and nothing seems to disturb
his slumbers. Thus far the prisoner
has shown no disposition to seek re-
ligious consolation. Czolgosz can de-
lay the day of execution by fling a
personal notice of appeal.
Albany, n. Y, Oct. 21.-The United
States government will not be repre-
scented at the execution of Czolgosz
Secretary Hay, in letter received by
Superintendent of Prisons Collins, de-
clined the invitation to have repre-
sentative of the government present
at the electrocution

Cleaning OIL Paintings.

An art Journal suggests raw potatoes
to clean oil paintings. Have few po-
tatoes Mt hand, each cut in halves. The
fresh surface is dampened slightly with
cold water and used to rub the canvas.
AS the potatoes show soil the surface
is sliced off and the rubbing continued.
This process will create little lather,
which should be wiped off as fast as it
nccumulates with clean, damp sponge.
When the whole canvas is cleaned, it
should be washed over lightly with
clean water from which the chill has
been taken and finally the water
carefully wiped off with an old clean
silk handkerchief. Raw potatoes to
clean paintings are frequently In hear
say evidence, but this description of
the process may be of value. 1t is sug-
gested by way of reasonable caution
that the experiment should be tried
first upon canvas of tri1ing value
md upon one corner Of that.

Entertaining sauirrels.

Alive in his native woods the squirrel
Is an amusing little fellow, and he will
entertain you by the hour if you will
let him.
You probably become first aware of
his presence by his dropping things on
your head. Then he plays hide and
seek with you as he zigzags up tree.
While he pauses for thought, or pos
sibly to wash his face, another squirrel
comes scudding along the branches Of
neighboring tree, and away they go,
one chasing the other, jumping from
branch tip to branch tip, racing up and
down the trunk and making the bark
fly. Sometimes one loses his footing
and falls headlong 20 or 80 feet to the
ground, landing there with force that
makes him bounce. You think every
grain Of sense must be knocked out Of
the small body, but he only blinks a
bit, and, after moment spent perhaps
in letting the stars set that must have
suddenly risen before his eyes, he
streaks 1t up the nearest tree after the
other fellow. Long after they have
disappeared from sight you hear them
chattering together up among the
leaves like two watchmen's rattles.--

Her Opinion of Asparagus.

1t seems that asparagus Is not grown
In the tropics--at least 1t was not grown
at Rio de Janeiro when certain Amer
lean gentleman, who had lived several
years In the Brazilian capital, went
with his wife and S-ycar-old daughter
to visit friends living near Buenos
Ayres, a part Of the continent where
the climate is better adapted to the
fruits and vegetables Of the temperate
regions.
At the first dinner after their arrival
the visitors were treated to some fresh
asparagus. The little S-year-old daugh-
ter was likewise served with the as
paragus, but she evidently did not
think much of it as an article of food.
Her mother tried for some time to
coax her TO eat It. Finally the little
girl, taken between the rudeness Of
whispering at the table and the rude
ness of not eating her food, leaned over
and, with choking voice and CULVER
ing lip, whispered to her mother: "Mam-
ma, it is not nice. It's raw at one end
and rotten at the other"
