Lawrence. earl Of Ferrers, q distant
relative of George Washington, had q
most tyrannical temper, and one day in
fit Of passion he cut down with his
sword his steward. an old gentleman
named johnson. The latter had given
no provocation for the deed, and the
crime was an act of brutality inexcusa-
Bile save that the earl may not have
been well balanced mentally. He was
brought to trial for killing johnson
and demanded and received the privi.
lege of being tried by his peers.
The house of lords was thronged dur.
ing the bearing. The evidence proved
to be conclusive, and Ferrers was SEN
fenced to be hanged at Tyburn. APP
peals were made to the king for clem-
ency, but in vain. Ferrers met his fate
with considerable bravado. He was
carefully attired for the occasion and
insisted on providing a silken cord for
the ceremony. To this within the execu.
toner agreed. and the earl was turned
of otherwise like any other felon.

Oil as Fuel.

The New. Orleans States saws
that Councilman James S. Zach
! arie believes that it will only be a
very short time when oil will be
used altogether for fuel.
cit onl y costs about S. to fit up
the furnaces with oil burners, .
he said. 'The Oil is placed in a
large tank and piped to the places
where coal was formerly used. The
pipe enters the furnace door and
meets with another pipe from a
steam boiler. This steam sprays
the oil over the firepan, and as
soon as it is ignited the hottest
kind of fire results. There is
no smoke and no dirt, and in fact
very little attention is necessary
after the fire has been started.
| saw one man attending to ten
furnaces without even exerting
himself. He is merely an inspec-
tor, after the fires have been
started, and his task is an agree
able one. Formerly, you know,
it would take about eight tiremen
continually shoveling coal to keep
ten boilers going, but now the
engineer alone can do the work.
| was astonished by the great heat
produced by the oil. | looked in
to the fire-pans beneath several of
the boilers and I saw that the re-
suit of the oil combustion was a
fierce white heat that could be
governed as to its intensity by Il
simple turn of the stop-cock.
The oil makes a great roar as it
burns. The oil has many advant-
ages over coal, and / believe that
the greatest advantage is the fact
that an even temperature under
all conditions can be maintained.
| firmly believe that it will super
sede coal in this city before year
is over"

He was furnished with an outline

"That's splendid" I" exclaimed the
friend, when the article was read
to him, 'that's right, and It'll
make his old hair crinkle.'' "All
right" said the editor, ''let me
see, what are your initials %
"Good heavens. said the citizen,

smiled benevolently and said ::

The Republicans fully intended to
kill the bill i'll conference, but
when they found out that all Of the
Democrats in the House, and
enough Republicans to make d ma
jority, were determined to head off
that scheme, the leaders at once
ordered that q compromise be
patched up in conference between
the House and Senate bills. That

1t is urged by those who oppose
the disfranchisement of illiterate
voters that disfranchisement is no
cure for illiteracy. Education,
they declare is the thing needed.
The answer to this argument is
not hard to find. Disfranchise-
ment is not final. The illiterate
may enfranchise themselves by
learning to read. Disfranchise-
ment, on the other hand, is rem
edy from the various evils arising
from the debauchery of the suf-
frage, which must continue while
ignorance shall be armed with a
potent weapon that can be prop
erly welded by intelligence.-Ex,
