4 Man Who Poisoned Two Lads for
Ten Dollars Hanged.

Paul Woodward, human in form
but devil in spirit, was hanged at
Camden, n. J., On last Wednesday.
The drop fell at 1905 and Woodward
was pronunced dead ten minutes
later. Woodward was apparently the
most unconcerned person in the party
at the hanging and showed remark
able nerve. Paul Woodward's crime
was the murder on Oct. l, last, of
John Coffin, aged II years and Price
Jennings, aged IS years. The boys
disappeared from their homes on Oct.
/. and their bodies were found in the
woods near Haddon Heights, six miles
from Camden. N J., on Oct. i. Wood
ward had been seen in company with
the lads on the day Of their disappear
ance and was arrested. An analysis
of the boys stomachs showed that
they had died from arsenical poison
ing The police officials learned that
Woodward had bought arsenic a few
days prior to the boys disappearance
and upon being indicted by the grand
jury was later placed on trial and con-
yicted of murder in the first degree.
Counsel for the prosecution claimed
that Woodward had poisoned the boys
FOR the paupose of robbery. When
they left home the boys had $40 in
their possession. but when the bodies
were found the pockets of the cloth
inr did not contain penny.

Feast on Horse Flesh.

Six hundred people sat down Thurs
day night to the most remarkable
banquet that ever has been given IN
Berlin, Germany. The dishes consist
ed entirely of horse meat and were.
served in various forms. The society
for the prevention OF, cruelty to ami
mails issued the invitations to the dim,
ner, which was given for the purpose
Of demonstrating the nourishing and
palatable qualities Of horse meat,
thereby causing increased consump-
tion Of the meat and ready market.
for old horses. This would prevent
the owners from working the poor an
imals to death, as well fed specimens
would bring good prices. The bill Of
fare consisted of horse soup, picked
horse tongue, 6llet Of horse and roast
horse. All of the dishes were nicely
prepared and were greatly relished.
The presiding officers Of the society,
Privy Councillor Won Seofeld, said
$4,000 horses had been eaten in Ber-
lin last year and that be hoped for
large increase in the future. Many
prominent members of the reichstag
and Of the city council were present
at the banquet.

but is said to have no fewer than
eight deserted wives in various parts
OF the country. His latest matrimo-

NEGROES IN OFFICE.
Some Sensible Remarks on the Sub
,jcct by Il Northern Paper.

1t is an error for the United States
government or any Of its departments
says the Philadelphia Ledger, to inn
pose upon community local official
who is personally offensive or distaste-
ful to that community. There is no
theory, no abstract ideal, involved in
this. The postmaster Of a town is
simply a person designated to trans
act certain business for the inhabi-
tantS and he mast be a person accept
able to them. Their right to be serv-
ed agreeably is far superior to any in
diyidual's right to hold public office.
The appointments of negroes to cf-
flee in the Southern States have very
generally been based upon an inyer-
sion of this rule-upon the negro's
right to hold ct1ice. rather than upon
the community'S right to be ftly
served. 1t is not pretended that in
the average Southern town the ne
groes form the mos intelligent and
trustworthy portion Of the population,
from whom the United States govern
menU can best select It's representa-
lives. In many towns, no doubt. they
arc more numerous than the whites;
but the chief officials Of the place are
rightly expected to be somewhat
above the general average, nearer to
the higher plane Of intelligent citizen
ship. The selection of negroes for Of
hue. therefore, is plainly Influenced
bv political considerations, in prefer
ence to considerations Of efficient SER
vice or of the comfort and satisfaction
of the community This is both a
theoretical and practical error. No
man possesses any personal right to
hold an office simply by reason OF his
color. If he is not acceptable to the
people he is expected to serve, the
government is not called upon to i'm
pose him upon them because be is a
negro, any more than it would be be-
cause he had red hair. 1t may be
said that the people have no more
right to object to him on one account
than on the other. While this may
be true. the fact remains that they
do object. On various grounds not
necessary to discuss here most South
ern communities object to negroes IN
Office. while they have had no occa-
sion to consider objections based on
other physical distinctions. 1t may be
an unreasonable prejudice, but it eS-
lists, and it is not peculiar to The
South. The correction of social pre-
judiceS. reasonable or unreasonable, is
not a function Of the United States
It's function is to have
the public business transacted in a
manner to give the greatest possible
to the people concerned.

Gone Twenty Years.

Abiel Patch was soldier in the
Civil War, and when the war ended
he returned to his native place, Rut-
land, Vt. There he was married a
few years later. He bought a good
farm, and with his wife lived happily
nearly fifteen years. By industry he
acquired goodly amount Of property.
Patch took a pan Of corn at p. N
Dec. 81, 1882, and started for the
poultry house to feed his hens. When
he did not return for supper his wife
hunted all over the place for him, but
in vain. The next day a searching
party was formed by the neighbors
and the forests for miles around were
secured, but without finding a trace
of the missing man. After few days
the search was abandoned. No letter
ever came nor was any inkling OF the
whereabouts Of Patch ever received.
While Mrs. Patch was preparing for
supper last Monday evening there was
a rap at the door. She opened the
door, and an old man with a long gray
beard stepped in. There was nothing
about his face or figure that looked
familiar to Mrs. Patch, and when the
old man told her he was Abiel Patch
she thought he was playing prank
on her. When be showed ner pecc-
liar finger ring which her husband
had always worn and the scar OF a
severe bullet wound on the side OF his
head which be received at Cold Har-
Dor in the Civil War there was no
further doubt Of his identity.
II left home because I wanted ex-
element, said Patch later in ex-
planning his long absence. L got
tired Of farming and started out into
the woods. I have been all ovor the
forests OF Northern Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine, and have killed
hundreds of deer and moose. didn't
intend to ever come back, and hoped
my wife would marry again, but l
heard little while ago that she had
not. l thought l would see her once
more before I died. The winters have
been pretty cold, and I could not
stand it much longer in the woods" p"
Patch did not think his wife would
welcome him, but as she has done so,
he saws he will remain. Mr.. and Mrs.
Patch have never had any children.

TROUBLES OF BULL FIGHTERS.
The Fates are Against the Real
Sports Of Darlin ston.

a special dispatch to The State
says two brothers living in Lamar
procured three bulls from another
brother living in the near vicinity,
contemplating giving the people Of
this county free exhibition Of the
old Spanish sport, but having re-
ceived information that the governor
objected to such sports, they decided
not to give public exhibition, but to
keep them for the amusement of their
own few personal friends. Last Sat-
urday two of the brothers decided to
go out and amuse themselves in the
old Spanish style. No priest was
available in this country, to hold the
opening services, as is customary in
Spain, so a protestant preacher was
procured. He was requested to go
around and bless these sacred animals
OF the ''Dcns," so that this anxious
exhibition might proceed. This min
lister Of the Gospel, having arrived at
the stalls Of the bulls and looking
them over thought they were too fine
animals to be killed,in such cruel
way and so decided to return to these
two brother and try to show to them
the cruelty Of such an inhuman act,
but it seems that the bulls were
ayerse to this minister's feeling, and
as the preacher was then in the stalls
with them, the bulls decided to have
a quite little rehearsal before going
out for the exhibition. One Of them
broke losse in his stall and started
across fCr one CT the Others, and as
the preacher was rigbtin his way and
the minister tried to grab rope at
tached to the bulls horns and was
successful, but was Immediately
jerked down and under the bull, and
in the meantime the other two bulls
having broke loose, they all started in
for 'tree-for-all" fight, the first one
using the preacher as breast protec-
tor. at this time there being such a
disturbance, the whole town had con-
gregated, and the two brothers were
trying to bull the rope market" when
the mayor Of our city arrived on the
scene with the members Of the city
council, and read the riot act' to the
bulls and theirs owners, but it did not
seem TO have any effect on the bulls,
and so the mayor swore in the whole
town to stop that fight, but it seems
that none of them were brave enough
to venture into the arena and argue
the point of inhumanity with the bulls,
so the mayor decided to wire the
sheriff of Yorkville and the Rock Hill
militia, but the bulls seemed to have
taken the hint and decided to quit,
after being notified that the sheriff OF
Yorkville was expected. The preach
er in the meantime had been kindly
tossed through the barn and was al
lowed to escape. The mayor Of the
city and the two brothers have de-
cided to arbitrate the matter, and
peaceful conditions prevail"
