WHAT WOULD THE JOURNAL DO?

The "Evening Journal" tells US how
A man should live and act.
1t bids us to its teachings DOW,
And hail them as exact
II we were always good aud wise
Revealing through and through
No cause for censure, to its eyes
What would 'The Journal" do?
1t tells the world "that us poor things
Who live below the place
Wherein does dwell the folks with wings
Are void OF sense aud grace,
But some day strangers may fOrsOoth
Come down and take a view,
And should they tell the world the truth
What would "The Journal" do?
Perhaps the tetter plan, by far,
Would he pack up things
And move up State, where angels are,
And play our tuneful strings.
Yet should we, who are green and raw,
Turn to that sanity hue,
we ask It with sence of awe
What would "The journal" do?

young man went to the home of a
nelghbor and said that robbers had en-
tered his home and killed his father.
mother and sister, and that he escaped
after a running battle with the des-
peradoes. He apparently was greatly
excited, and said ne was organizing a
posse to pursue his fathers slayers. He
stopped at another house and told the
same story. When he was questioned
concerning the shooting he became
confused and resented the inuuisitive-
ness of the man to whom he told the
story. He started away and disap-
peared behind barn, when a shot was
heard. An investigation discovered the
youthful murderer dying, with bullet
through his breast.

Senate Will Continue Consideration Of
1t Until Disposed Of.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Republi.
can senators held a caucus yesterday
and decided to have the senate con.
tinue consideration of the Panama
Canal treaty today and on future days
until the treaty shall be disposed of.
This result was reached after an hour
and half of discussion on the legisla-
tive situation in the senate. The con-
clusion reached was unanimous. The
understanding is that the statehood
Dill does not lose its advantageous no.
sition in the order of business when
the senate is in legislative session. The
Republican supporters of the statehood
bill agree not to antagonize a motion
for an executive session to consider
the canal treaty. nor to make any OBJ
lection to the prolongation of such ses-
sions to any extent necessary to secure
ratification.
Consequently when adjournment was
reached the announcement was made
that after the close of the routine busi-
ness Senator Quay should move to go
into executive session and that none
OF the Republicans should oppose the
motion, and that consideration of the
treaty should continue until it was
Of.

OLE DUNGEONS UNCOVERED
Prison Built by British 147 Years AGO
in New York


New York, Feb. 24.-Workmen. tear
ing down the old Hall of Records in
City Hall Park yesterday. uncovered
six gloomy vaults, which had not seen
a ray Of light in nearly a century. With
pick-aXe and crowbar the Iaborers
tore out huge slab of marble in
what was the first floor of the old
building giving access to the dungeons,
used in revolutionary times for con-
fning American patriots, until New
York ceased to be a British town. The
doorways connecting the half-dozen
gloomy cells have disappeared, but
the huge oak lintels on which they
swung remain firmly embedded in the
massive partition walls. The old dun
geons were built 147 years ago by the
British as part of a prison on what
was then the northernmost limits OF
the city. The stone was hauled from
Haddam, Conn. Beneath the marble
floors of the prison structure proper
were the dungeons, separated by walls
three feet thick. Four of these cells
had openings far above the prisoners
heads, but two were without opening
except the oaken doors.
1t is known that Ethan Allen, the
hero Of Ticonderoga, was an occupant
of one OF the cells, and it is believed
that Nathan Hale was here confined
from the time of his capture until his
execution nearby. The building was
refitted in 1880, and since has been
used for municipal offices.
