'Frisco's Corn Exports.
At San Francisco an immense ship

away the corn crop that comes pour

tonnage varies largely from year to
year, and there is annually much spec
ulation there, which turns mainly on
the rates of freight. These vary with
the supply, in some years, all the way
from $14 to $40 a ton; and great for

transportation of corn.
1t is not generally known that there
are more than three hundred varieties
of corn, and that they differ among
themselves more than those of any

any pilot who gave assistance TO any Jap

Chwang would be held responsible to the
full extent of martial law has been made a
subject Of inquiry of the authorities by

these inquiries the Russian authorities re-

fact that the Russian authorities have de-

CAR-BARN BANDITS TO
PAY PENALTY Of LAW
ON THE GALLONS TO-DAY
Van Dine, Neidermeyer and Marx
to Be Executed for Merciless
Murders in Chicago.
NO HOPE FOR CLEMENCY
Effort to Stay Execution Fails and
Doomed Men Are Apparently
Resigned to Fate.

COUNTY JAIL. Chicago April 2f.-For a
crime never paralleled in Chicagos history
for murderous ferocity and mercilessness
the penalty of the law will be exacted of
the--car-barn bandits on the scaffod to-
morrow The exact hour OF the execution
has not yet been decided on, but it will take
place some time between 10 a. m. and Il
noon. Neither has it been decided which of
the three bandits will hang first The in
tention tonight is to hang them separate
ly.
Nedermyer is still in bed, weak from in
juries inflicted in his attempt at suicide
Monday morning, but DIR. Mcnamara, Jail
physician, declared tonight that Neder-
myer would be sufficiently strong to walk
to the scaffold.
With all hope of clemency gone the three
murderers tonight seemed resigned to their
fate and retired early.
Governor Yates, following the recommen-
dation of the State Board of Pardons, de-
clined to stay the execution of Van Dine.
The execution OF Neidermyer was threat
ened with legal interference for time to-
day, when attorneys representing James
Sammons and John Lynch, who are under
death penalty for the murder of Saloon
Keeper Patrick Barrett, began proceedings
of habeas corpus nature No judge could
be found, however who would agree to
grant the request The lawyers first sought
the appointment of a commission to take
the evidence of Neidermyer to his knowl-
edge of the murder of Barrett Neidermyer
some time ago made statement that he
and two companions had killed Barrett and
that Sammons and Lynch were innocent.
When the lawyers failed to have a COM
mission appointed they then filed applica-
tions for writs of habeas corpus for Neider-
myer. Judges Clifford, Gary and Brentano,
in turn refused to grant either of the de-
mands of the lawyers, declaring that the
writs asked for would not lie. because the
accused had already been sentenced and no
trial was at this time pending The law
yers for Lynch and Sammons stated to-
night that they would try again tomorrow
morning to have the execution of Neider-
myer stayed. Any effort to delay the exc
cution of the bandits will be opposed by the
States attorney.
Governor Yates telegra phed Sheriff Bar
rett of Cook county, to allow Mrs. Van
Dine to see her son tonight, no matter how
late she might arrive at the Jail.

HulSTlNG ROPES.
The Threads of Wire Upon which
So Many Lives Daily Depend


While the longest ropes are used for
hauling purposes, some of the most in.
teresting data in connection with wire
ropes are obtained with their use for
hosting purposes. Hundreds of thou
sands of lives are literally each day
hung by small wire thread as the
men are lowered into and hoisted from
the bowels of the earth, and in many
cases the only means of communication
between the surface and the under
ground workings, which are from
few feet to mile in depth, is by
comparatively small hosting rope.
Think of hanging from the end of ca
BILE only few inches in diameter and
mile long. being hoisted at rate
which is faster than that OF the aver
age railroad train. and some idea of the
hosting problem can be gained. To
the honor of the wire rope manufactur-
ers it must be said that very few shaft
accidents are due to the breaking of
the rope, excepting where the cage is
oyerwound and unwarranted demands
are made upon the rope or which are
traceable to false economy on the part
Of the users of wire rope. No part of
a mining plant is more carefully in
spected and watched than the hosting
rope, and very few mine managers will
take any unnecessary risks i'll the
hosting of men. The skill of the wire
rope maker is taxed to the utmost to
provide ropes for hosting from great
depths To make rope of practicable
size that will be sufficiently flexible
and that will bear even it's own weight
is no mean problem, for in such cases
the weight Of the rope is often much
more than the material lifted; hence
we have taper rope intended to give a
varying section dependent on the
amount of rope off the drum or reel

SETTING THE CLOCK FAST.
A Pleasant Sort of Deception Com
mon to Many People.

A Pleasant Sort of Deception Com
mon to Many People.
1t is a common thing to find the
clocks in nine out of ten households
either fifteen minutes or half an hour
fast, and should you happen to be in
hurry or mention the fact that you
have to be going you are at once reas
sured by the fact that you have no
cause to hurry, as the clock is SO much
ahead of the time
Has it ever occurred to you why
clocks are usually put ahead? Some
physicians have said it Is due to lazi-
ness, for it is such a satisfaction to the
lazy man to find when he has to get
up at Z in the morning and strains his
half closed eyes to look at the clock
that it is half an hour fast and he has
SO much more time to doze, with the
result that he oversleeps himself any
how and misses his train or boat.
Said matchmaker when asked
about the subject:
Yes, it is peculiar thing with most
people to put their clocks fast, and,
While there may De some satisfaction
in it when it comes to doing little
longer, there is really no advantage in
it, for when you wake up, say, at 6 and
glance at the clock and it registers half
past 6, the fact remains that it is a
half hour fast. While this may make
you feel easier, knowing that you still
have thirty minutes to doze, | confess
| don't see much advantage in it.
why not have the clock right? 1t is
the same thing in the end.
Suppose railroads were to put this
into practice, how many trains do you
think people would miss thereby? This
putting clocks fast is really only a
PLEASANT form of deception which PEG
pie like to practice on themselves, but
it does more harm than good. New

FAMOUS BATTLE SONGS.
Two Instances where the Tide Wa.
Turned by Singing Them,

turned ny Singing Tnem.
There are two instances on record of
battle being won by war song. In
the fifth century Germanus, bishop of
Auxerre, and Lupus, bishop of Troyes,
were sent into Britain to refute the
doctrines of Pelagius. During their
stay in this island the Picts and Scots.
hearing that the Roman legion had
been withdrawn, commenced hostili-
ties and drove the Britons from the
northern to the more southern parts of
the island. Germanus. at the request
Of the hard pressed islanders, led them
against the Picts and Scots, who had
advanced as far as Mold, in Flintshire.
The bishop, having been military
commander in his youth, placed his
men in an advantageous position and
then started one Of the songs of the
church, This song began at the com
meneement of the battle, and so vocif-
erously did the Britons sing the re-
frain, "Halleluiah," that the hills ech-
ding with the sound, terrified their en-
emies and caused them to flee in all di-
rections This was called the hallelu-
iah victory. The date is fixed by all
historians at A. ID. 429.
The second instance occurred on the
9Th of November, 1892, when the
French, under Dumouriez, encountered
the Austrians at Jemmapes, in Belgi-
UNI. The day was going dead against
the French, when Dumouriez ran out
to the front and raised the "Marseil-
laise.'. Forty thousand voices instantly
took up the chorus, and, inspired by
the magic of the battle song the
French rallied and fell so furiously
upon the Austrians that the tide of
battle was completely turned and vic

HAWTHoRNE's WORKS.
The High Standard They Have Set
For American Literature.

VnG hlRn STANDARD Ihey have Set
For American Literature.
Two things are to be remembered
when Hawthorne's name is mentioned
First, the glory he reflects upon Amer
lean literature. Little has been done
by us in letters or art that is quite of
the highest order except the works of
Hawthorne. These have the clear
promise of perpetuity. The themes are
of supreme and universal moment He
rises to their meaning and depicts them
in commensurate form. He is not
preacher to cry aloud. but an artist
who paints. yet not without a heart
that throbs in pity and a fancy that
muses. over the wonder of it ami will
not suffer the pail Of darkness to hang
over it forever That we have in Haw-
thorne an author whose work in these
high fields OF thought is crowned with
unimpeachable honor and is sure Of
perpetual remembrance is constant
satisfaction as years go by.
But Hawthorne has wider claim
upon our gratitude namely, the fact
that he has set the seal of glorious
dCHlcfeHleHl III reuters upon Tue uloFal
laws of orr nature. The greatest
things done in literature have been of
this sort. They alone, from Job down,
are remembered and cherished in the
ages Hawthorne is our only exponent
Of genius in this field, and how superb.
