SO YEARS IN ROPES SHADOW.
Man Sentenced to Death in Maine in
1869 Just Dead.

Howard A. Cleveland is dead at the state
prison at Thomaston. Me, after having
been confined there since 1869 under SEN
tence of death. For some reason never eX-
planned the sentence was not carried out,
nor was It annulled modified. 1t seems
to have been forgotten and Cleveland lived
on until he died natural death.
The case was one of the most remarkable
in that state. 1t was the only murder ever
committed in Orrington. The records show
that Cleveland was indicted for the wilful
and malicious murder of Warren George
verdict of guilty was rendered in 1861.
Cleveland was sentenced to death. Be
fore fixing the day for the execution the
governor and counsel submitted the follow
ing question to the supreme court of Maine
Did the jury, by It's verdict. find Cleveland
guilty of murder in the first degree!
The jury had merely declared Cleveland
guilty of the crime whereof he stood In
dicted. The indictments intent was plain,
but there was some difference of opinion
among the justices as to whether the man
had been legally convicted of murder in
the first degree. Then the council passed
an order that the governor be advised to
stay the execution of sentence until further
advised" The case then seems to have
been dropped by the state authorities.
The sentence was never committed Just
why no attempt was made to carry the SEN
tence into effect does not appear. Since
1874 the laws had left the execution of the
death penalty in a measure to the discre-
ton of the executive without limit of time
sentiment against the death penalty so ac-
tive that at one period there was no exc
cution in that state for nearly thirty years
In 1876 the death penalty was abolished al
together. In 1883 the death penalty for
murder was e-esta blished, but in 1887 1t
was again abolished.

To protect us against the ruin that

Pusey lays down five rules:-Allow
thyself to complain of nothing, not
even of the weather. Never picture

compare thine own lot with that of
another. Never allow thyself to dyclI
on the wish that this or that had been,
or were, otherwise than it was or 49,.

Trust Him To Do II.

The greatest burden we have to carry
in life is self The most difficult thing
we have to manage is self. Our own
daily living, our frames and feelings,
our special weaknesses and tempta-
tions, and our peculiar temperaments-
our inward affairs of every klnd-these
are tie things that perplex and worry
us more than anything else, and that
bring us oftenest into bondage and
darkness. In laying off your burdens,
therefore, the first one you must get
rid of is yourself. You must hand
yourself and all your inward experien-
ces; your temptations, your tempera-
ment, your frames, and your feelings,
all over into the care and keeping OF
your God, and leave them there. He
made you and therefore he understands
you, and knows how to manage you,
and you must trust him to do it.-Han-

1t was automatically arranged so that
when the cigar was lighted the monkey
would draw in the srloke and puff it
out again. The w8sks stopped on one
occasion and the monkey was taken

PRINTERS STEAL.

Denver Post arraigns the Den
yer job, engraving, lithograph and
commercial printing offices for being
in a robbing pool, when the facts
are the leading blank book, blank
and Job offices of this state having
long since pooled and divided the
territory. The Post says "the
small offices are being squeezed"
Now how could a small Office be
squeezed unless the proprietors were
willing? How unless the paper
dealers Of Denver were in on the
steall How unless it was concur
rent with dealer and consumer?
The Smith Brooks ct al have grown
rich OH state printing-the paper
dealers have each erected handsome
business structures and the consul
mers have aided in paying for them.
The Denver Post should do its duty
as it has enlisted the task and go
after the Denver paper firms as we'll
as the auxiliary thieves. What
agency closed the Denver Paper
Mills? Get down to honesty and
not ex parte censure. The Smith
Brooks, Robinson and Out West
printing companies have an agree
inent as to county printing through
out this state and they have had
assistance in many counties. La
Plata's county clerk is not in on
the deal but the board Of county
commissioners seem to squeeze us
for bursting it. Go after all the
thieves and not faction. Durango
Democrat.
The reason that Smith Brooks,
Robinson and the Out West Print
ing Co. have such an easy snap on
county printing is that the county
newspapers are easy. The clerk of
La Plata be man, and do the
square thing, and there are other
honest county clerks throughout
the state, but there ate others who
place themselves in Questionable
light either through ignorance or
purposely. In some counties the
printing is given to the aforesaid
city shops without giving the papers
which are published in the county
a chance to submit bids on the
work as the law specifies the county
clerk shall do. Few t1ien violate
the law unless there IS some gain to
be derived from SO doing The
thing for the county newspapers to
do is to spot the county clerks and
commissioners that favor the city
printing and when they desire to be
reelected turn them down. If the
county papers both Democratic and
Republican, would give thier re-
spective political parties to under
stand that they would support no
man for Office who favored sending
printing out of the county that could
be done at home, there would be
fewer of these men placed in nomi-
nation. If there was money saved
for the county by sending away fer
printing. it would be entirely differ
ent, but when the price of such
printing is from IS to so per cent
above home prices, it is simply a
matter Of the papers protecting the
Taxpayers of the county. The
profits for the printing i'll counties
with small population is of little
consequence to the home papers, i,
would not buy an automobile fol
any of them, but this is not ths
question to be considered. 1t is the
papers business to protect the tax
payers who are their patrons.
