AT Sing Sing, it is Connaughton who pre-
pares the death chamber for an execution,
and this alone would win him fair share
Of hatred. No one who has not actually
seen manifestation of it can understand
the feeling of the convict on the day of an
execution. A legal killing il to him the
extreme Of the persecution he thinks he is
enduring from society.
1t is Connaughton who oversees the
working and the idle moments of the con-
victs who prescribes what they shall do
day by day, what their hours Of exercise
and recreation shall be, who Furnishes
offenders against the rule. In fact, Sing
Sing and everything odious about it to
these unfortunates is represented by Con-
naughton, and men acquire hatred of
him that they carry out into the world
with them afterward, and never relinqush
Connaughton knows this, and white not
Understanding what ii may mean to him
some time, laughs ut il. He is brave enough
to come to New York but he is too prudent
TO come.
He knows that there are always at least
1000 men in New York who have tasted
the bitter lash Of discipline at Sing Sing,
and that Of them, certain percentage
have vowed over and over again to kill
him at the first opportunity. He realizes
that he might go into New York and get
out again without his presence being known
to these men, but i've knows that there are
in New York to-day men who would klII
him or try to kill him II they ever met him
in this city. He believes that there are
men who would take desperate chances
to get at him, though they wouldn't risk
day Of their liberty again for any amount
Of money.
ConnaughLon has had some great men
under him in his time He has had Ferdi-
nand Wards and John Y McKAnes and
Al Ahamses by the score, but no desperate
bank burglar, IN for twenty years, or muir
derer, IN Tor life, has ever had reason TO
complain that the lot Of fallen great men
has been made easier by Connaughton
than his own Connaughton makes Sing

world. He III impartial u he s strict.

Sings Chief keeper--His Discipline.

Principal Keeper Connaughton Of Sing
Sing Prison believes that II he came TO New
York he would be assassinated soon after
his arrival. Therefore, although he would
like to visit the city, he has not been here
for twenty mine years.
In the two score years that he has been
in Sing Sing Prison he has seen many des-
perate criminals 60 in and out OF that in
stitution. He Is a model Of what princi-
pal keeper should be. Big, strong, brusque,
he Is kindly to a convict who obeys the dis
cipline of the jail, but absolutely mercless

Connaughton will not overlook the slight
est deviation from the rules Of the prison.

JAILED NORM THE FRIENDS.
C0wmen in Arizona Furnish New Version
OF Damon and Pythixs.

PHOENIX, Arz., Oct. A.--The story of
Damon and Pythias is recalled by the tie
of friendship binding two Arizona cowmen.
Shorty Dallas and Joe Roberts came to
Arizona from the Middle States and set
tied in the Blue River country near Clifton,
which to this day remains secluded and
more or less untouched by civilized ways
Their friendship had no limitations so that
when Roberts killed cattle that belonged
to another man Dallas also broke the law
to aid him.
Roberts was caught red handed, but
with a big six-shooter in either hand he
shot his way through circle Of peace off,
GERS who surrounded him. With the officers
hot after him Roberts rode to the cabin OF
Dallas at mad gallop.
Dallas assured the posse in pursuit that
he had not seen Roberts and believed he
had fed in another direction. His state
ment was accepted In good faith and nc
further search was made there
Roberts rested TRANQUILITY In Dallas q
cabin while the search went on. Then he
filed his belt with cartridges stocked his
sack with 1jerky" and wendell his way
towurd that bourne from which gun men
seldom return-Mexico,
When he thought his pal was safe Dallas
went TO Clifton and, ignorant Of the law
told the Joke OF the undOinH OF the posse
The victim OF the Joke, Jake Parks, heard
the amusing tale and straightway arrested
Dallas for the penitsntiary offence Of haT.

Dallas was placed under bonds and To-
oeived lesson on tho legal requirements

erts Was not far away, and he harmed OF
his partners troubles He announced that
he alone should suffer for the cattle killing,
and he surrendered himself TO the authoI-
ties 10 secure the release OF Dallas.

modern commentaries, and now both nlsn
are under arrest Tor fsl0nious infringe

The Hon. Charles Thompson Richie,
who has resigned the office OF Chancellor
Of the Exchequer. is Scot, like Lord George
Hamilton, and no cannier Scot than he
could be found from John O. Groat's to the
Border.
Richie has never been famous as a silver
tongued orator. But since he first entered
Parliament, in 1874. his fellow members
have recognized him as one OF the best of
business statesmen.
Thus he became power, and for many
years no Conservative Cabinet has been
complete without him.
"Ritche is a permanent institution Mr.
Chamberlain is said to have remarked
sarcastically, He is as much part OF
the furniture Of the Cabinet chamber as
the table itself"
He has no surface brilliance, but he
Possesses that infinite capacity for taking
pains which IL said to be the attribute Of
genius. When he was president of the
BoGrd Of Trade he was responsible, among
a host Of other things, for the welfare of

sAURIAN SEXES CHILD.
Marrow Escape Of a Little One from
the jaws OF Florida
Alligator.

While number OF passengers were
waiting for the morning train at Pablo
Beach one day recently they heard the
wall Of child, seemingly in great dis
tress. Jerry Delaney. deputy sheriff
and former Cincinnati policeman,
headed a number who FASTENED to
search for the cause Of the cry. a
short distance away they saw big al
ligstor dragging child away. having
secured hold OF its dress in its mouth.
The child was shrieking in fright says
a jacksonville correspondent Of the In
ter Ocean.
The posse rushed 10 its rescue, and
the alligator redoubled it's efforts to-
ward getting into the bay near by. A
big dog belonging to the child came
running along and dashed at the
saurian's head. The alligator whacked
its tail around with great force and
struck the dog. knocking the animal
toward the gators mouth. which
opened with n gulp. taking in the dog.
The saurian Killed the dog and swal-
lowed him with ease. dropping its hold
Of the child'S dress in the struggle.
The posse at once Killed the gator.

Brother Henry.

1t seems incredible, yet il is a fact
that Emperor William of Germany l.
often short Of money. and the reason
is because he rarely carries any
money in his pockets.
The other day he was at a festival
with his brother, Prince Henry, and
his attention being drawn to new
automobile machine. he resolved to put
a coin in the slot in order to see how
the apparatus worked. When he
searched for a coin. however. he could
not find one and he was obliged TO Dor
row from his brother.
On various other occasions. and es-
pecially while hunting. since it is his
custom to give money to the fofesters
and other attendants. he has found il
necessary TO borrow from his com
panions.
The only time when he fills bis peck
cts with money, says the Detroit Free
Press. is on Christmas eve. for il has
long been his custom to stroll at that
time through the streets near the pal
ace and to give money 10 all deserving
persons whom he meets. but especial
ly to children and old soldiers.

measuring q feet in length and. 10
feet inches in width. The ground
work is silk and it is superbly en-
broidered with figures telling the his
tory of America from the landing OF
Columbus until 1892. A Polish artist
was engaged six years on the work.
