PRISON FOR WILSON.
Nicaraguan Revolutionist Escapes
the Sentence of Death.
Was One OF Several Americans Engaged In
Filibustering Expedition Minister
Corea Interposed In His Behalf and
His Life Was Saved.

Washington, July 29.-The life of
DR.. Russell Wilson, of Ohio, who was
captured with a reyolutionist party
in Nicaragua, has been saved through
the representations of Minister
Corea, of that country. A cablegram
was received at the state department
to-day from Chester Donaldson,
United States consul at Mangua,
Nicaragua, dated the Goth, as follows:
"As a courtesy to the United States
and sympathy for the mother, the
president will commute Russell Will
sons death sentence"
Wilson was one of several Ameri-
cans who joined filibustering ex-
petition which landed at Monkey
Point, near Bluefields, early in July.
Most of the party were captured or
killed. Wilson would have been sum-
marily executed but for the inter
position of Senior Corea, the Nicara-
guam minister here. Having secured
stay of proceedings and a guaran-
tee of legal trial, the minister has
now induced President Zelaya to
commute the death sentence imposed
upon Wilson by court-martial. Be-
fore the receipt of this message it
was not known that the court-mar-
tial had been held. 1t is presumed
that the commutation is for inn
prisonment for time, and then ex-
pulsion from Nicaragua.
Senator Hanna, who has been most
active in DIR. Wilson's case, was much
gratified when shown the Associated
press dispatch from Washington an
nouncing that the president of
Nicaragua would commute the SEN
tence of the prisoner.

EARLY CIGAR TONGS.
Antique Relics of the Days When
Matches Were q Convenience
Yet Unknown.

Some customs seem to have as many
lives as the proverbial cat. In the good
old days of Queen Bess every smoker
tongs. If he were a gallant of the
court, they were made of silver, if a
substantial merchant, of brass, but
if workingman, of cheap iron ware.
They were a necessary implement to
the smoker. Matches were un-
known, and the only available fire in
the daytime was the blazing log upon
the hearth, says the New York Post.
With the poker a small piece of glow
ing ember was broken off, which, with
the tongs, was applied to the freshly
charged pipe. Hundreds of these
tongs are to be found in the collections
of antiquarians. Most of them are
clumsy objects, but few are SO grace
full in outline and artistic in work
manship that they seem to be of
French and Flemish, rather than Eng
lish origin. These tongs were sre-
vived on a small scale some 20 years
ago, when they were employed for
holding cigarettes. The cigarette
in length, connected at the upper end
by smart spring, which kept the ends
together when in a position of rest.
When used the smoker opened them
and caught the cigarette between the
tips close up to the mouth end The
~contrivance enabled the user to burn
the cigarette down to the last Whit.
and protected the fingers from Che
discoloring vapor that produces the
brown stain upon the fore and middle
fingers. The new tonss shown nova
days are somewhat larger. and are in
tended to hold cigars as well as to
reach q coal from the fireplace to a
pipe. They are made of iron, shetland
gun metal. and many of the latter are
said to be manufactured from war
ships cannon. and other trophies OF
the late war with Spain

kind from the millers, whose friend
have been all the time, and I tried

up the second time, but members in
charge of the measure wanted il
passed over, as they hoped for g
compromise between friends anc
enemies of the bill This was twice

tunity. Later 1 proposed again to
have the bill called up by calling
upon the committees, but Mr.. Taw.
ney, author of the bill, was absent
that day and other friends of the
measure were unwilling to have ii
come up in his absence, so that is
three times that the bill>practically
had its day in court, and for the rea.
sons named failed to be disposed of,
but in no instance was it any fault
of mine. The bill is just one and
ought to pass, and 1 have no doubt
it will pass at the short session OF
congress. I fear there has been very
thoughtless misrepresentation about
this matter, for it is not usual for
men to attack their loyal friends"

Aristocrat vs.. Democrat.
"It is impossible to secure harmony be-
tween people of opposite sympathies and
it is a difficult thing to change a mans
sympathies; it requires political re-
generation to make q democrat out of an
aristoerat. 1t is much easier task to
show a man that the principles he has
been advocating and the policies which he
has been supporting are aristocratic In
their present effect or In their tendencies.
The republican party of to-day Is ar!sto-
cratic in Its policies and tendencies, for It
Is controlled by few in the interest of

remain with their party only because they
do not understand the change which has
taken place in that party within the last

stands for the will of the majority. but
