A TEST OF FRIENDSHIP.

1t is centuries since an elected
member of the British legislature has
been put to death for treason. The
last case at all similar to Col. Lynch's
was that of Lord Lovat, who assisted
Stuart in the rising in Scotland in
1745. He was put to death for treason
in the tower Of London, where Sir
Walter Raleigh and many other his
toric characters, including some Of the
wives Of Henry WILL, were beheaded.
Lord Lovat's execution was the last
to take place i'll the tower Of London.
A century ago Lynch would have
been sentenced to be drawn on Il
hurdle to the place Of execution, hang
ed, and cut down alive, discmboweled
and divided into quarters. AS we live
in more humane time, he has simply
been sentenced to be hanged. 1t is
probable this sentence will be COM
muted by the kings clemency to penal
servitude for life.
| 1t is remarkable testimony to the
antiquity and conservatism of the
English system that Lynch's indict-
ment was mainly framed under a
statute of Edward III. and accused
him of taking up arms against Vic
toria, mot having the fear Of God in
his heart and being moved and Sc
duced by the instigation of the devil"
In the proceedings in court itself there
was a curious mngling of the quaint
and the picturesque. While the legal
usages and forms dated from bygOne
ages, there was Il distinct touch of
modernity in the crowd of brilliantly
attircd women, whose gowns unmis-
takably bespoke Bond street and lat
est twentieth century fashion.
William Andrews, T.. r. II. S., in
his "Old-Time Punishmcnts, gives
the following description of the death
of traitors in England in the good,
old times:
hanging drawing, and quartcring,
with their attendant horrors, have
been termed "godly butchery," on ac-
count of the divine authority which
was adduced to support their continu-
ancc. Lord Coke finds in the Bible n
countenance for each Of the hOrrid
/ details of the punishment. We see
that the texts supposed to bear upon
the subjects are raked from all parts
of the scriptures with great ingenuity,
but with, in our modern eyes, not
much of either humanity or probable
ity of there being anything more than
n forced reference. The sentence on
| traitors was pronounced as follows:
"That the traitor is to be taken from
the prison and laid upon q sledge or
hurdle lin early days he was to be
dragged along the surface of the
ground, tied to the tail of a horse) and
drawn to the gallows or place Of ex-
ecution, and then hanged by the neck
until he be half dead, and then cut
down; and his cntrails to be cut out
of his body and burnt by the execu-
| toner; then his head is to be cut Off,
his body to be divided into quarters,
and afterwards his head and quarters
to be set up in some open places di-
rected." The hcadsman, or hangman,
commonly, sliced open the chest and
cut thence the heart, plucking 1t forth
and holding it up to the populace,
saying, Behold the heart of trait

Davltt's Boer F ght for Freedom.

The history Of the conflict between
BritOn and B0er in South Africa is
told in a book of 100 pages by Michael
Davitt, the great Irish leader who was
in South Africa during the great con-
flict. The story is the most thrilling
narrative ever written ON the Boer war
and is cminently fair to both. sides.
The book is handsomely bound and
cohtains nearly one hundred of fine
illustrations. Price $3.50. On sale
only at the Irish Standard office. A
few good agents are wanted in this
city. The right persons can make
money.

by joining the enemies of his coun-

lily.
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone took
three-quarters Of an hour in summing
up. He said the case involved no diff
ficulty either Of law or Of fact. 1t was
treason to join the enemies of the
sovereign for any purpose.
The jury deliberated only an hour
and made no recommendations with
it's verdict OF guilty. The court then
put the customary question as to
whether the prisoner had anything to
say why he should not be sentenced
to die. Col. Lynch replied:
'"Thank you, l will say nothing
Mr.. Justice Wills then passed the
sentence Of death. In delivering sen
tence Justice Wills said the crime of
high treason, of which the prisoner
had been found guilty, was happily so
rare that it seemed to be almost an
anachronism. No civilized community
had yet failed to punish severely de-
fection from loyalty, whether in the
way of open warfare or secret in
trigue. He then proceeded to. say:
'In the darkest hours of his coun-
try's fortune, when engaged in dead
ly struggle, Lynch joined the ranks of
it's foes and shed the blood of his fel-
low subjects fighting for their coun-
try, and sought to dethrone great
Britain from her place among the ma
tions.
"rhe only palliation which could be
offered was that it had been the fash
ion for some years to treat lightly
matters of this kind, and men had
been encouraged to play with sedition
and toy with treason. The nation had
treated with contemptuous indiffer-
ence speeches and acts Of scdition,
but it was one thing to talk sedition
and quite different thing to bear
arms in the ranks of the country's S
foes"
The wife of Col. Lynch will seek
the kings clemency for her husband
through former army man, who in
his younger years was one of his ma
jesty's closest intimates. Some weeks
ago the matter Of approaching the
king was put before him by we'll
known Irish general, who pleaded that
Lynch was innocent of any intention of
wrong doing. The former army Off
Ger thereupon promised that if Col.
Lynch's trial resulted in conviction
he would personally speak to the king.
The conviction of Col. Lynch was a
foregone conclusion, although it is not
expected that the sentence of death
will be carried out. There is no ap-
peal in ordinary murder cases, but
there is absolutely no case Of the i'm
position of capital punishment for
treason felony where the facts were
similar to those in Lynch's case, and
during the trial Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone suggested that certain
points of law which he rejected
might be argued before the higher
court, meaning the house Of lords.
| English opinion is unanimous that
the conviction must stand, although
the prolongation of the appeals might
extend the case into time when am
nesties or a reduction of sentences
arising from the South African war
would be matter of expediency.

Letter to MIR. Abrams,
NEKOOSA, WIS.

Dear Sir: A good many people will
see your house in the course of the
next ten years. We want it to show
what Devoe Ready Paint will do.
We should like you to paint it, and
then not paint it again for ten years
unless it needs repainting.
We'd like such sample as that in
every town in the county-with a
notice about it in the town paper:
"Mr Abrams house was painted ten
years ago with DeYoe Ready Paint,
and has never been repainted. The
color is not SO bright as it was: but
the paint is as perfect a coat as ever,
to keep out water"
A good lead and oil job is expected
to last three years; it is a good one
that lasts thee years: it generally
does not. Devoe Ready Paint lasts
twice as long, if not:
"1f you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it,"
1--WE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
We want your house as a sample,
and you as witness.
Yours truly,
E. w. DEvOE & Co.

STRONG EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
John E. Daily Guarantees That Hyomei Will
Cure the Worst Case OF Catarrh in
Grand Rapids

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Grand Rapids guarantees
that medicine will effect a cure or
he will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that
remedy. 1t is in this way that John
e. DAILY is selling Hyomei, the treat
ment that has made so many remark
able cures of both acute and chronic
catarrh in Grand Rapids and vicinity.
Hyomei is nota pill nor is il LIQUID
that has to be taken with a tablespoon
or WineglasS. Just breathe it by the
aid OF an inhaler that comes in every
outfit and benefit will be seen from
the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifieS the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous men,
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do it's work of healing.
When using this treatment, the air
you breathe will be found like that on
the mountains high above the sea
level, where grow balsamic trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving off volatile antiSeptic fragrance
that is healing to the respiratory
organs.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
Sl.00, and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you John E. DAILY will refund
your money. This is a good time to
cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
so common at this season.

outlook for good basket ball teams
this year is very good Professor
Oswald, who was captain two years
