Senator Culberson of Texas, who still tarries in Washington. tells of Dutch man who was willing to take his chances for heaven on the fact that he was a Lutheran and a Democrat.
 This citizen from Dutchland. says the Senator. was a powerful good citi- zen and a regular and consistent voter at every election, always planting square-toed Democratic vote. At one election when things were generally be- lieved to be remarka ply close some of the Republican heelers went to Uncle Luther, as he was called and made every efort to convert him over to the Republican way of thinking and ballot-castins. The old man listened with every attention and he likewise threw his lips over several glasses of campaign promoter, but he couldn't be screwd up to the point where he would give the slightest hope that he was willing to switch over to the Repub- licaps.
 Finally one of the persuaders made the bad break of telling him that the good people of the district the Christian people, were .ast joining the Republicans and that he ought to go along with them. This was too much for Dutchman, and he answered:
 "'Yes. de goot peoples vas goin' aroun init a bottle of visky an schang- in dc voters vot buts. in. Dimokratic dickct. Dots de goot peoples, vas 1t?

THE LIQUID FUEL BOARD.
The Navy Department Has Made Pub.
lie Its Conclusions.

Washington. June 1S.-The navy de.
partment Friday made public the con.
cusions of the liquid fuel board of the
navy, formed as the result of tests
covering a period of % months with
coal and oil respectively as navy
fuel. In the opinion of the board an
intelligent fire room force should find
no trouble in burning oil in a uniform
manner, and for general purposes on
shore high pressure steam was found
to be better medium than air.
The board declares that no fuel oil
installation should be permitted for
marine purposes which would not per.
nit a return to coal within "a hours
in case of the failure of the oil sup
ply. It says that with the use of oil
the forcing of a marine boiler can be
more readily accomplished than with
the use of coal The board is of the
opinion, however, that no attempt
should be made to use oil as auxiliary
or supplementary to coal

until the third shock had been ap.
piled that life became extinct. Schil.
Ter went to the electric chair without
any apparent show of emotion or col
lapse. He was strapped in the chair
and the electric current of 1,750 volts
was applied for 33 seconds. The con-
demned man was pronounced dead by
the four physicians present but in a
few minutes II was noticed that he
was breathing and the current was
again applied for 40 seconds. Schiller
was again pronounced dead and the
body was unstrapped and laid on the
floor of the execution room. The
crowd that bad witnessed the attempt
to electrocute the man was dispers.
ing when the physicians again discov.
cred signs of breathing Warden Her.
shey was hurriedly recalled and Schil.
Ter was again strapped in the chair.
The current was then applied at 1 800
volts and was kept on for full min.

was extinct
Schiller was saloonkeeper at
Youngstown and stabbed his wife to
death on June 1, 1903. She had secur.
ed divorce and was preparing to re.
turn to her old home in Hungary when
the tragedy occurred.
The physicians attribute the diff
Guilty in the electrocution to Schiler's
strong power of resistance. Schiller
showed resistance of eight amperes
whereas a resistance of more than five
amperes is extraordinary.
