That ended Olympia's run getting. But
IN the ninth things looked dubious for
tne lippins when Olympia took advan-

on bases with only one out. The Pippins
then took tumble to themselves and
retired the side without giving them a
run. Following is the official score.

Why They Range From White &c

The very constitution of stars implies
the presence of some that are dark. Ev.

all.
The so called temporary stars, of
which no fewer than twenty-seven have
been noticed In historic time, wax and

period of sixteen months. as Tycho's

Many bright stars are known by the
periodic doubling of certain spectral
lines or by curious perturbations to be
attended by dark companions. The
companion of Sirius was found shortly
after its existence was pointed out by
Bessel; so was the tiny green fellow to
the fiery red Autares, while the dark
companion of Procyon still eIudes as

The absorption of light in passing

stars to exceed by millions the bright
ones, and this is supposed to render
many Of them quito dark to us.

SHOULD THE WOMAN
HANG?

Mrs. Mary A. Rogers of Benning-
ton, VT, has been sentenced to
be hanged.
The crime she committed was one
of the most atrocious in the calen-
dar. She lured her husband into ar
unfrequented place and persuaded
him to play captive" She tied
him securely and then by the help of
her paramour chlOrofOrmed Rogers
and threw him into u river, where he
was drowned.
The murder was a deliberate OF e
and committed in such II way rs A.
most to pr 'clude sympathy for the
woman.
But-she is a woman.
There are those who will say her
crime has unseXed her and that she
is entitled to no more consideration
than a male murderer under like
circumstances.
Perhaps, but-she is a woman.
AlItduy a oIttl b't w
save Mrs. Rogers from the gallows.
The innate chivalry of manhood
interferes to stop woman on the
road to the hangman. Sometimes,
when chivalry is buried under pas
sion, rs during the French revolu-
ton, the tumbrels are filed with wO-
men on the way TO the guillotine.
But magnanimity usually rules and
it views with special horror the
spectacle of woman on the gallows.
Many who are insistent rs to CAPT
tai punishment draw the line at sex.
The feeling-an instructive one
is creditable,
And akin to it is the feeling that,
somehow, wOman's entrance into
politics is an indelicate thing. The
avela re man feels that woman abdi-
Gates Il throne when she steps down
into the arena of public affairs.
Mind you, he doesn't deny her the
right to vote and pull official wires
if she chooses. He is not so ungal-
lat. But he ditferentiates his wife
and mother and sister, and all wo-
men. lie knows they are better
than men and he wants them to be
SO. 1t is this fine sense of chivalric
regard for the Sex that revolts at the
hanging of II woman.

A NERVOUS WAIT.

Weird Sensation when the Church
Became Totally Dark.
81 went to Fifth avenue church last
Sunday night" said man who is good

got a new sensation. The church was
brilliantly lighted, but something went

went out Midway in the building two
or three punches of bulbs continued tC

to fidget.
"Thls condition of affairs lasted for
some minutes until the choir had fin
ished an anthem. Then the preacher
arose and requested the people to re-
main quietly seated for half 4 minute
in total darkness, when the church
would be fully Illuminated again. With
the words the few remaining lights
went out, and for space darkness like
that of a coal hole prevailed.

HORSEHAIR FOR BOWS.
Only Black or White From Russia OIL
Germany Is Used.

There Is a vast amount Of horsehair
annually used in the United States for
making and repairing violin, violon-
cello and bass viol bows. All of the
hair comes from Germany and Rus
STA, in which countries the tails Of
horses are generally allowed to grow
much longer than here. The foreign
hair Is also coarser In texture and
tougher than that which grows on the
American horse, and these qualities
make the imported article more valua-
bic than the domestic product.
There are only two kinds of horse
hair suitable for making bows, and
they are of white and black varieties
The former is used for violin bows
and the latter, which Is heavier and
stronger, Is the best material for max
ing bows for cello and bass viols, be-
cause 1t bites the larger strings better.
The imported hair is put up in hanks
of thirty-siX inches long, which Is five
or six inches longer than the standard
violin bow. A hank is sufficient for
one violin bow, while two hanks are re-
uuired to hair cello or bass VOL bow
There are about one and half ounces
of hair in hank, which Is worth from
20 to 80 cents. according to the quality
of the hair Philadelphia Record.

THE RIGHT no SECEDE.

Southern papers have INDUCED in
a good deal of criticism of the presi-
dents course in the Panama seces-
ii N.
TIL y argue that he has recognized
principle which his party denied
and against which his patornal fore
bares fought in the civil war.
The Panama affair was not so
much secession as it was revolu-
ton. Its true analogy is not found
in the principles contended for in the
war between the states, but in the
grievances which brought on the
American revolution.
Colombia had become an insuffera-
Bile tyrant, expressing the people of
Panama by outrageous taxes and
restraining them not only in their
political rights but in their CONNER
cial and industrial opportunities.
Panama might have repeated, al
most word for word, the Declaration
vi vi IllG
cOlOnists. She suffered taxation
without representation; her officials
were aliens; standing armies of the
OppressOr were continually quartered
upon her.
In Panama the governors, judges
and other officials have been in
ported from other parts of the repub-
lie and the people of Panama practi-
ca ly ignored. During the last six
years there have been seven govern
Ors, and of these only one was a ma
tive of the department, and he held
the position only for few months.
During the existence of the revo-
luton which ended in November,
lasting something over three years,
the department of Panama has been
mercilessly taxed. The monopoly of
salt, tax of beef killing, introduction
of tobacco, matches and making of
ice has been u national monopoly,
ami not only did the people suffer
from eXorbitant prices, but their To-
cal government got nothing from
this.
Never in all the history of Panama
has the general government built
single mile of road or erected
school house within her territory nor
was Panama permitted to levy local
taxes for these purposes. Every
cent that Panama could yield in
taxes was eXtOrted from her by the
general government, and the utmost
cruelties were practiced in their
collection.
Panama had for years been ripe
for revolution, but the leader and the
match and the powder were wanting.
Then came the canal treaty. The
hopes of the people were raised. The
ratification by the United States
senate WIS hailed with shouts and
rejoicing. 1t was the life of the de-
partment of Panama. 1t meant
millions upon millions spent in the
zone of the cities, Panama and Colon.
Imagine, then, the chagrin when the
cables brought the news that the
BOgOta government, forgetful of its
own interests and those of the de-
pIrtment of Panama, was inclined /
to disapprove the treaty, and finally
the feeling engendered when it did
So This was the last stroke. 1t

THE ART OF BOXING.
Fistic COmbnts Were Highly Esteem
ed In Ancient Times.

Etstic COmbats were Highly Esteem-
ed In Ancient Times.
Pugilism, the practice of boxing or
fighting with the fists, was manly art
and exercise highly esteemed among
the ancients. In those days the hands
of the pugilist were armed with the
cestus. leather thongs loaded with
lead or iron. This form of athletic
sport was at first only permitted to
freemen among the Greeks, but grad
ually it was taken up as a profession
and lost much of its prestige.
As an illustration of Its early use we
find in Virgil's fifth Eneid the record
of match between Dares, with MINI
BILE feet and confident in YOUTH" and
Entellus, the veteran champion, "strong
and weighty limbed," when the com

Pugilism has been a typical English
sport from the days of King Alfred,

termined to be free.
The action of the United States in
throwing its ponderous weight into
the balance may be criticised. But
there is no blame to be laid upon
Panama. The better sense of all
humanity will approve her revolt
and be glad that she has thrown of
the hateful bonds.

A HAY FARM.

A decade ago anyone who even

farm, or even the possibility of hay
ever becoming a profitable crop in
Florida, would have been considered
Il fit subject for the lunatic asylum.
A few days ago l actually visited n
farm of $40 acres out beyond the
Chattahoochee devoted solely to the
making of hay as a money crop. This
years crop of cured hay consisted of
$50 tons. Rice, crab grass, COW peas.
beggar weed and velvet beans con-
tributed to this yield. A barn $50
feet long contained over 200 tons of
hay baled for shipment, when made
my visit. This hay was bringing
$3.50 net per ton. The farm is cul-
tivated with improved machinery of
all kinds. Cane, eassava, corn aud
other crops take up a considerable
part of the acreage. Stock enough is
kept on the place to compensate for
