Tho Ace of Hurry.

"A Countess III the London Outlook:
There IS no backwater to which this
tmpetuous tide Of hurry has not pene-
trated; and If va try to find one where
in we may lie Ill a punt on pink cush-
ions under a tree we are certain to be
made restless by the single long boot
OF q ftssy steam launch or the short
double n OF a tearing motor car, and
instead OF lying still we jump up and
cry, "Oh. wait for me and take me-!
Tn ana fearful hurry to get there and
do 1t with you!" And when we are
taken In and have recovered our breath
and are well on our way there to do it,
we remember to ask where we are
bound for and what we are going to
do.

Death Sentence in Enoland.

st. James Gazette: The present ap,
tation in England to abolish the pro-
nouncing of the death sentence in cases
Where it is patent that capital punish
inent w!!i not follow will probably meet
with the approval OF most people who
desire that the law should lose nothing
OF its dignity. and at the same time
have nothing of Unnecessary horror
added. h lord chancellor pleads for
the retention Of the form, saying that
the passing of the death sentence viii

upon him, went then to Lord Gotham.
Him the bishop eXhorted to confession.
Other prelates were similarly engaged
with Sir Waiter Raleigh and Lord
Grey. Meantime Markham, another of
the c~onspirators, a been placed upon
the scatfold and was about to DOW his
head to the AK when the Sheriff was
called away by a Scotch hireling. and
the prisoner left to contemplate the ak
for an hour. Then he was led away and
told to prepare for death at the end
of two hours. Grey's turn was next.
He prayed half an hour before the
block, then raised himself to die-and
was led away. the king sending word
that the order Of execution had been
changed. So forth came Gotham, and,
having made his last declaration, pre-
pared to take farewell of the world
when the sheriff stayed the execution.
and brought forth Markham and Grew,
all three thinking that the other two
had been executed. They were told.
after having suffered the agony of ali

be spared. Raleigh's experience was
similar. That was how they used to
make death sentences act as "a deter
rent" in the good old days. There
would be danger for those who tried a
repetition today.

Rhenmatism I'm Utab,

Frisco. utab, May 2.-There is a
great deal Of Rheumatism in this and
neighboring States, and this painful
disease has crippled many a strong
man and woman among an otherwise
healthy people.
Recently, however, there has been
introduced into Utah a remedy for
Rheumatism which bids fair to stamp
out this awfully painful complaint. The
name of this new remedy is Dodd's
kidney Pills, and it has already
wrought some wonderful cures. Right
here in Frisco there is n case of a Mr..
Grace, who had Rheumatism so bad in
his feet that he could hardly walk. He
tried many remedies in vain. but
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him.
His wife says: we both had Kidney
Trouble and my husband had the
Rheumatism so bad that he could
hardly walk. We used Dodd's Kidney
Pills with much benefit. We have
tried many remedies. but none have
done us 80 much good as Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Similar reports come from all over
the State and it would seem as if
rheumatism had al last been con-
lucred.

"Rat" Master.on on tho Solitary Holdu.

Sat" Masterson on the Solitary Holdun
NewSsYork Press: When you read in
the paper, as you do about once every
SIX months. that one man has entered
g canning house or a crowded saloon,
held up the entire crowd and made his
escape with the money, you are apt to
think that particular crowd must have
been q little below par in the matter Of
courage" said Bat Masterson the other
day. 1t seems all the more evidence
Of cowardtce that in such cases prob
ably the men held up are armed.
IN reality they are no more cowardly
than other men. The reason they sub
NIT SO calmly Is that each in a crowd Of
that sort is absolutely certain the ewes
OF the holdup man are looking straight
into his. In fact they certainly do APP
pear that way, but that is due to a little
sOptical.delusion.
"Of.course. the laighwayman wears a
mask and In almost every case this
maskssls made of dark cloth. Where
holes are cut in,the mask for eyes the
skin shows light against the edges of
the mask. don't understand why it
should be SO. blu it is a fact that when
g mar Is wearing n Of those black
straight at any n who looks at the
mask. No matter in What part of the
room you stand, o how much YOU
move, the eyes back Of the black mask
Will seem to be concentrated on you,
The artists know this trick, and they
use AZ IN some of the mask pictures.
Probably you have seen a picture Of
that sort n understand the thing bet
ter than I can explain it. If you have
ever looked at a masked man with a
gun picture you know the eyes and
b u always seem to be on you.
That's h secret OF the solitary holdup
game. When a man thinks the other
fellow has the drop on him he is apt to
be mighty slow about drawing a gun
and starting trouble"

JAPAN'S GREAT GENERAL.


Technical research has brought
to light the fact that Gen. Kuroki
who is making it uncomfortable
for Russia these days, is half
Polander which fact alone explains
why he is bent on putting Russia
out of time. Kuroki's father after
the revolution of 1891, fled from
Russia according to this authority,
and after being in the Dutch
service in Bormeo, settled in Japan
and married Japanese woman.
On his death bed the father of Gen.
Kuroki charged his son to avenge
the wrongs of Poland upon Russia,
and it seem that the son is now
earring the fathers wish into execu-
ton.

REPUBLICANS FAVOR IT.

1t is significant that although repub-
Iicans, as we'll as democrats and popu-
lists. have expressed themselves in fay-
or Of the election of United Safes sena-
tors by popular vote to the extent that
among the rank and file of all political
parties there seems to be no division
on this question, the republican ma
tional convention failed to incorporate
IN its platform a popular election
plank.
Through the platform of 1904 the
democratic party and its representa-
tives are solemniy pledged to do all in
their power to bring about this import
ant reform in the election of senator's.
1t is strange that with public senti-
ment so Overwhelmingly in favor of
this reform, republican senator's have
been able to delay the good work. Per.
haps it IS not so strange that the repub.
llcan national convention, controlled AS
it was by handful of men, failed to
give expression to what Is on this point
undoubtedly the sentiments of the
rank and file of the republican party.
The Nebraska legislature of 1903 was
overwhelmingly republican, and yet,
the sentiment among republicans, as
we'll as among men of all other politi.
cal parties, was SO strongly ID favor of
the election of senators by the people
that the Nebrask legislature adopted a
1Hrfi e.. A.
form. The Michigan legislature. also
republican, adopted similar resolutions
in 1901. Resolutions favorable to the
election of senators by popular vote
were adopted by republican legislatures
as follows: Pennsylvania. Kansas,
Utah, California, Oregon, Minnesota,
Idaho and South Dakota.-COmmoner
