PRESSED TO DEATH.
Fearful r-saishment That Obtained
Under Old English Law.

Under Old English Law,
| Under the old English law if a pris
oner stood mute and failed to plead to
the Indictment Il jury was impaneled
to determine whether his conduct came
from obstinacy or from a lfatul.al i'm.
pediment. According to Blackstone if
the prisoner was found to be obsti-
nately mute and the indictment .,as
for high treason it was settled that
his silence was equivalent to a convic-
ton and that judgment and execution
should follow. THIS same rue applied
to petit larceny and misdemeanurs. but
upon appeal or indictments for other
feionies or petit treason, according TO
the ancient law, the prisoner was not
obstinacy, he received 1.-THE terrible
sentence of penance or peine'' and was
pressed to death.
Blackstone thus describes this pun.
ishment: THAT the prisoner be re-
manded to the prison from whence he
came and put in low, dark chamber
and there be laid on his back on the
bare floor, naked unless decency for
| bids; that there be placed upon his
body as great a weight of iron as he
could bear and more: that he should
have no SuStenance, save only on the
first day three morsels of the worst
bread, and on the second day three
drafts of standing water that should
be nearest the prison door. and in this
situation this should be alternately
his daily diet till he died or (as an
GENTLY the judgment RAM till he an
swered."
During the trials for witchcraft in
New England respectable citizen be-
ing so accused, knowing that by rea-
son of the excitement of the times a
plea of not guilty and trial would re-
suit in a conviction with confscation
ct property, and the same judgment
would follow \ plea at guilty, refused
to plead, thereby preventing convic-
tden and enabling his family to retain
bis property. The court ordered that
he I've pressed because Of his obstinacy.
The order was carried out and the
victim died. Chicago News.

GAYLE IS WINNER.
Eli's Crew Defeats Harvard Oarsmen
 With Ease.


 New London, Conn.,, July 1-Tha Yale-Harvard regatta was concluded just before noon today and again Yale took the premier event. In the big varsity race the Yale men crossed the line winners by seven lengths. The time was:
 Yale, 21:411a; Harvard, 22:07
 Throughout the race the Ellis were never headed, and from the crack of the pistol the result was never in doubt. It was case of superiority in rowing strength and rowing funda- mentals. Within quarter of mile from the staI. Yale had established herself in a comfortable position a length ahead. This had been accom- plished in spite of the fact that Har- yard was fully two more strokes to the minute than Yale. The New Ha- ven oarsmen increased their lead S ,eadily until two and one-half miles had been travelled. Then their shell suffered from the eel grass section of the course. Harvard pulled up one length, but when the Yale shell reached clear water again the superi- ority of the blue became more than ever evident. Gradually the contest became a procession and Yale's vic tory was as decisive as the most ardent C. her supporters could wish.

ENGLISH LAD WILL START.
Fast Track Is Promised for St. Louis
 Derby Today.

St. Louis, July 1.-English Lad win rer of the Chicago derby and owned by Fred Cook of St. Louis will go to the post tomorrow an odds-on favorlte in the St. Louis derby. The track which has been in very bad condition for ten days, was good today and by tomorrow after noon will undoubtedly be fast and great ly in favor of English Lad. Prince Sil- yerwings, the horse that ran English Lad to a head In the Chicago classic is doubtful starter in tomorrow's race. The withdrawal of Prince Silverwings will re- duce the field to four over which Eng fish Lad stands out In the light. Moharib who ran third to Colonial Girl in the Worlds fair handicap, has run his best races on a sloppy or track. Elwood, win ner of the Latonia derby has performed best in the mud and Rainland's only good race, the winning of the Mound City derby, was on a heavy track.
 The probable odds and jockeys follow:
 English Lad 127 Dominiek), 1 to 2.
 Moharib. 125 CW Fisher), to 9
 Elwood, 127 QIenry), 15 to 1.
 Rainand, 119 e. Gray), 25 to 1.

sLAePlLE SETTINGS.

From the Sporting News: Memphis.-The election of Judge Kavanaugh during the dark days of the 1902 season when the Southern League was involved in what seemed to be network of injunctions in many states caused by the contention of the Memphis manager for pitcher St. Vrain is well remembered, and the able manner in which he restored peace among his clubs and the part he has played in meetings of the National Asso- citation at conclaves in the north has made for him a reputation that is not paralleled by any baseball enthusiast. Reports reliable in nature, are that the judge will desert the baseball for the political field and there are many Ar kansas who think they see in the pres ent president of the Southern League the next governor of the state. Judge Kava- naugh has never known defeat in politics or the other world and, although his can didacy has not been announced it is cer- tain that his friends will make the call on him for the race, which will mean his retirement from southern baseball. It> is stated that he will serve at least one more term as the Southern Leagues exc cutive.

In all of these his efforts are successful, and his example Is certainly worthy of emulation.
 A drive of twelve miles from Valley Head across Lookout mountain, via La hoosage to the eastern cllfts of Lookout revealed wonderful conditions and facts to your corr espondent. Upon the mountain tops on table land 210O feet above sea level there Is a shifting of scenery as one passes along. There are forests now rich in foliage, fields of corn, cotton or ehards of peaches, of apples and of other fruits, vegetables rich and rare. gushing springs swift running branches and a yeritable river. Herds of cattle and of sheep browse upon pastures rich in native grasses. Churches and school houses are dotted along the way and there is life and activity on Lookout mountain.
 Six miles east of Valley Head upon the very top of this mountain range the min ing town of Lahoosage has recently sprung into existence The mines are open now and before this paper reaches your readers the company will be shipping coal to the markets.
 This is the work of the Lookout Fuel company ,an association of capitalists who are also the principal owners of the Chattanooga Southern railroad-Me Henry J. Lamb, MT. Hoover and Russell Sage. From the three La-Hoo-Sage de- rives its name. Singular coincidence that a regular Indian name should be carved from the names of three down-easterners. But, verify, it does so appear.
 MT A. w. Evans, a Tennessee mining engineer is the general superintendent in charge of this work and right well has he proven his qualifications for the Her. culean task of construction.
 Has Constructed Narrow Gauge.
 From the mine to the eastern side of the mountain a distance of six miles he has constructed a narrowguage railroad, at an Immense cost, which winds it's way snake-like over and through rocks, hills and valleys and across trestles over branch, creek and river to the point of an incline where the little coal cars rush down 1890 feet and there dump them selves into regular standard-guage cars to be transferred on the companys two and half miles of standard track in the valley below to the main line of the Chat tanooga Southern, thence to be shipped to the markets. And here, too. gravitation plays it's part and modern scientific con struction presents striking picture of progress.

Below us are beautiful valleys, and in the distance a succession of mountain ranges; thousands of peach trees. fields of corn. of cotton and of small grain lend enchant- ment to the view These valleys, these hills, this wealth divide themselves be- tween Georgia and Alabama.
