officers, as he was inspector OF ord
nance at the Washington navy yard
for three years. He helped In the
installment of the present fine gun
factory there, and from 1898 to 1897
he was chief of The bureau Of naval
ordnance.
His Se:ng appointed president OF
the board of inquiry regarding the
Maine disaster and as successor TO Ad-
miral Sicard in command of the north
Atlantic squadron is too recent to re-
quire more than incidental mention.
He was in charge of the fleet that de-
stroyed the Spanish ships at Santa
go and a great controversy ragged as
to whether he or Admiral Schley was
entitled to the credit of the victory.
Admiral Sampson was twice mar
ried. His first wife, TO whom he was
married in 1862, was Margaret, a
daughter of the late David S. Aldrich,
one of the leading business men of
Palmyra. The admiral had many
relatives living in the vicinity of Pal
myra. he owned the famous Mormon
Hill farm, upon which is the hill
where Joseph Smith dug, as he al
legged, the golden plates from which
the book of Mormon was printed by
the late Major Gilbert on an old hand
printing press at present owned in
Rose, Wayne county. George Samp-
son works this Mormon Hill farm for
his brother. An old brick at the
south end of Prospect hill, still stands
and it was there that the future ad-
miral was born.
By his first marriage he had two
daughters, one of whom is married to
Lieutenant Roy c. Smith and the
other to Ensign R. H. Jackson. 1t
was Ensign Jackson who while a
cadet serving in Apia led the jackies
to the tops during the terrible Samoan
hurricane and formed with them what
is known as "the human SAIL" which
kept the ship from going on the fatal
coral reef at the entrance to the har-
Dor. Fort his gallant act young Jack
son, who would otherwise have lost a
commission through the lack of va
eancy, was retained in the service by
a special act of congress.
His second wife was Miss Mary Bur-
ling, a preceptress in the Palmyra
Union school. The fruits of this mar
riage were four children, two boys
and two girls, named respectively
Ralph Earl, Harold, Hannah (named
after his mother) and Olive Earring
ton. Mrs. Sampson is a cultured,
modest woman who devotes much of
her time to the education of her child
rem, which she supervises personally

hangmen. The late executioner Bill
ington lived at Bolton. Yorkshire
comes next. but the other counties are
long way behind these two.
They are all applying in vain. The
post of common hangman no longer
exists. 1t ended with the death OF
Marwood, and since then it has been
the practice for the authority of each
county to give to whom it likes the
duty of hanging. each person as he or
she is sentenced TO death. Young
Ellington, son of the late hangman of
that name, has had good deal OF ex-
perience through working with his
father, and had the man convicted of
the Shepherds Bush murder not been
reprieved he would have had to exc
cute him. 1t is comforting to have a
man who knows the work, but there
is no appointment as such. London

WOulO-8E hANGMEN.
Many Eager Applicants In ENGLAND
Are From Lancashire.

The post of public executioner has
strange fascination for large num-
bers of people. During the past few
days patches of letters from would-be
hangmen have been received by the
various authorities supposed to have
control of this alluring post. Some of
the eager applicants have written to
the home Office. others to the Guildhall,
others, again. to the sheriffs.
People In almost every walk OF life
seem to be applying for the post of
common hangman," said one of the
officials concerned. People who write
a good clerk.y hand. others so Hitter

single word correctly. Army pension
ers and university men. cotton spin
ners and weavers and agricultural
laborers are among the applicants for
the post. Most of them state. with
every appearance of confidence. that
they could do the work very well IL we
would only give them a trial.
1T is a striking fact that, although
the applicants hail from all parts of
the country. the greater number write
from Lancashire. This county seems

HER FACE HER FORTUNE.
Fate Kind to Young Woman With
Good COMPLEXION


Good Complexion.
She was a sweet looking girl, with
as fair pink and white complexion as

with one of her own sex on Staten

so near that could not help hearing.
Several times my truant eyes deserted
my paper and stole a glance at that

avenue store just to buy a comb. How
little I thought that l would be work

going in, because I feared the prices
would be too high, but did go in, and

went in, and the proprietor left his
desk, that stands in a little railed-off
corner, and came to wait on me. |
noticed that he looked very sharply at
me, but not at all in an impudent man

Pardon me, MISS he said, but I
am looking for young lady to assist
me in the store here, and if your cir
cumstances are such that you care for
the place l would like to have you con-
slider it,
Il was wonderfully surprised, but
thanked him, saying that knew moth
ing about the business.
That doesn't matter he replied.
You can soon learn it, To be frank,
| would like to have you ON account of
your complexion. You know we sell
all sorts of goods for the complexion
and articles for identifying, and your
face would do more to make sales than
all the arguments and representations
that could be made

many high compliments and expressed the
opinion that the latter was the man on

MAKE CHANGE
In the Houston Ship Channel Item in

Washington April Ex-senator Frye OF
the senate committee on commerce stated
this morning that he would attempt to call

day, or before that date If possible.
A fight will he made to have the change
made in the Galveston inner harbor item,
to which reference has already been made
in these dispatches. and also to restore the
Buffalo bayou item to the form in which
II passed the house.
Colonel Mckenzie is said to admit that
he made the last change in the item by
which the entire appropriation is devoted
to the completion of the first section, but
to claim that he acted under instruc-
lions" The identity of his instructor
is not disclosed.
If this be really the case it would seem
that the responsibility for the change Is
not yet definitely fixed. However, the
friends Of the item are quite confident that
the necessary change will be made in the
conference committee If not before.
