In the Ohio prison men are executed im-
mediately after midnight, and from the
supper hour, $50 p. m, until IL o'clock
midnight, they are not served nor have they
ever asked for food or even a cup Of coffee.

prison physician prescribes the quantity
II is only in rare cases that they ask for the
latter.
The writer has conversed with these con-
demned malefactors during the last few
hours of their existence and their conver-
sation was as natural, as unaffected and as
free from nervousness or excitement as at
any time during the months of their con.
hnement They have many times charged
us with last verbal messages Of love, friend
ship, OF remembrance to relatives friends.
and acquaintances, and when the warden
entered, Immediately, after the stroke of
twelve, with the exclamation 'Jim or Tom,
as the name might be, time is up" they
have quietly arisen from their seats with
the response 'all right warden, " and fallen
in behind him in the march to the death
chair without either stimulant or support.
The whole thing is so orderly, methodi.
cal and matter of fact in a penitentiary that
the execution even of as many as three
men the same evening causes neither a
ripple of excitement nor comment of more
interest than would be excited by ordinary
prison happenings, among either prisoners
or officials.
The death appetite" is fake, - and the
previous Jail starvation to which the con-
demned was subjected by the sheriff of his
county is alone responsible for this keepers
delusion.

Fisher-Thrush.

1t will perhaps be OF interest to
the many friends of the parties in
terested to learn of the wedding OF
Miss Emma A. Thrush and Rev.
Wilmer S. Fisher, of Columbus, U.
The wedding took place April 10th
at the West Park Ave, M. f.
church of Columbus, of which the
groom is pastor. 1t was one OF
the most beautiful wedding cere-
monies ever held in the capital city.
The church was most brilliantly
lighted and decorated. Ihe de-
corations consisted of festoons OF
smilax and white roses. A wilder
ness of potted palms and other
background work greatly enhanc-
ed the beauty. Streamers OF white
ribbons extending on either side OF
the aisle from door to pulpit pro-
duced charming effect. At eX-
actly 8 o'clock p. IN. the bridal
party entered the church and
marched to the time of Mendel-
shon's beautiful wedding march.
The full ritualistic ring cere-
mony was performed by DR.. j.
G. Arbuckle and Rev. +. N.
Nichols. The bride was robed in
white organdie and china silk and
full veil and was adorned with
white roses and lilies of the valley.
The bride and groom retired to
their home, 83 w. Park Ave-,
which was magnificently furnished
and loaded with rare and costly

Roosevelt Strong

There need be no misapprehen-
sion in the mind of any citizen of
the United States as to President
Roosevelt's determination to en-
force the provisions of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The vigor-
Gus course taken against the Beef
Trust will without doubt be fol-
lowed up by the Federal author
tiles in the cases of other combin
es avaiGng themselves of gal
methods especially those which
manipulate and control the neces-
stiles of life President Roose-
welt has never been accused of
either physical or moral cowardice
and he boldly confronted the allied
corporations while Governor of
New York State, and had enacted
a franchise tax law which the cor
porations tried IN every way to de-
feat, and when it became law
questioned it is constitutionality.
Justice Earl in recent decision
which is characterized by eminent
iurists as one of the clearest and
most convincing of opinions has
held that law constitutional, and
thereby legally sustained the Pres
ident as against the corporations.
The President can not be oblivi-
Gus to the fact that since he took
his seat as Governor his ideas of
right and justice have in many
eases lost him the support of the
men controlling the cooperative
power of the country. He intends
to pursue his ideas of duty and en-
force the laws regardless of the
power or influence of the violaters
of the statutes. 1t is understood
here that evidences of illegal com
binations in the coal regions of
Pennsylvania are accumulating
and are being presented to the
Federal authorities here and in
that state. If sufficient evidence
10 found to warrant action against
the coal combine the President
will not hesitate to apply the rem
edy as far as in him lies.
