AS the steamer Sheffield was leaving
the river Scheldt one evening recently
the captain and passengers observed
the unusual phenomenon tin these lati-
tudes) of a large w~aterspout. The
steamer was a few miles off West
Capple. and from a heavy thunder
cloud lying due west Of this point, and
computed to be about ten miles dis
tant, a dense black column was
formed. which appeared to fall by a
sinuous course into the sea. At this
distance the surface Of the sea-where
the waterspOut touched its surface
was at once surrounded by a smoke
like ~obscurity. Hundreds Of tons OF
water must have dropped heavily into
the sea. The black line OF communi-
cation between the cloud and the sea
fell precipitately at first, then for
some distance appeared to encounter
a fresh current OF air and was borne
along laterally. after which It dropped
into the sea-. The phenomenon contin-
ued dashing up the surface Of the sea
for about four minutes.

NO THOUGHT OF HIMsELY.

When President Mckinley was
shot his first thought was Of his
wife. "Cortelyou," said he to bis
secretary, "my wife. Don't let her
know"
His next thought was of the man
who had shot him. The assassin
was being handled roughly and
there were cries Of "Lynch him"
"Let no one hurt him." Mr.. Nc
Kinley pleaded. The President Is
No kind.hearted and forgiving that
he could not bear to see q human
being punished, and he made plea
even for the scoundrel who had
cruelty assaulted him. But that
was not the only thought in Mr..
McKinley's mind. He Is the I hief

In Prison-Axsresats Sentences May
Reach Thirty Years.
Buffalo, Sept. 9.-Despite the
publication of several more or less
sensational stories about alleged in
terviews with Czolgosz in his cell
and alleged acts of petty spite to-
ward him on the part of the police,
no unusal treatment has been offered
to him during his imprisonment.
He gets whatever conduces to his
health and comfort. The prisoners
health is good. He appears to have
suffered no nervous strain since his
arrest.
District Attorney Penney is
authority for the statement that
when Czologsz is put on trial six
separate counts against him will be
included in the indictment; that he
will be convicted on each count, and
that the total for the several offences
will aggregate very considerable
number of years imprisonment. The
counts in the list include two sepe
rate assaults upon the President,
for which it Is said twenty years
imprisonment can be inflicted; 3
charge of threatened assault agains,
each of the three men who bore
CzOlgosz to the ground and captured
him after shooting the President
and last, the charge of carrying con
cealed weapons.
The penalties that can be inflicted
upon conviction on the four charge,
named last are largely in the discre
ton Of the court. They will aggre
gate something more than 80 years
a more fitting punishment for tn,
crime than ten years, which was q
first said to be the only punishment
that could be administered.

tised professed liberty loving people,
have sat in silence, while England

war against liberty in the annals OF
the Worlds History.

ATTEMPT UPON THE PRESIDENTS
LIFE.

Ii was with the most profound
sorrow that the country learned Of
the attempted assassination Of Presi-
dent Mckinley in the Exposition
Grounds at Buffalo last Friday. The
first messages were discredited every
where, but a. further details were
wired people received the news with
-peechless horror. II was hard to
believe that any person would at
tempt to take the life of the Presi-
dent Of the United States, and doub-
ly 30 the life OF Mr.. Mckinley; a
man so personally loved-sO uni
versally respected in the North,
South, East and West
No ruler Of the day has borne his
share in larger or more successful
policies. and none has seemed to ell
10y to larger degree the confidence
and esteem not only Of his own
political faith, but Of the people OF
all political following.
Well says William Jenningt
Bryan: "While the Presidents life
hangs in the balance there are nc
party lines. The grief of persona
friends and close political associates
may be may poignant, but thu
sympathy Is not more sincere thar
that extended by political Oppon
ents."
At the present writing the Presi
dents chances for recovery ar
bright; and il is the earnest hope o
every American, and of every frien'
of civilization wherever found, tina
the Chief Executive of the Unite'
States may not find all untimely en-
through the bullet Of an assassin.
The terrible crime was not CON
mitted by an American, but by Pc
ish Armenian, who avOws that he
an anarchist and a follower of Emm
Goldman, whose doctrines are OF
posed to all forms of government
At present there are no laws upO
our statute to prosecute or drive OF
of the country the lawless sect {
anarchists. They breed and prOmOt
trouble. They are a menace to an
community or country. 1t Is to |
hoped that the attempt upon tt
Presidents life will be means
arouse Congress to act so that tn
undesirable class Of foreigners wi
not be permitted to land upon OF
shores. We have opened our doc
