An Unique Ten Dollar Bill.

Though ii might not have been gen.
orally known, revelation shows that
for the past twenty-three years the
honors of being the emblem of the
United States have been divided be-
tween an eagle and donkey.
A ten dollar bill circulating in this
city and bearing an engraving Of a
huge American eagle and another
bird commonly known as a mule.
proves that an undignified practical
joke has been PLAYED in the engrav-
ing department at Washington.
The bill was issued in the year 1880.

circulation about year when the OBJ
jectionable donkey was noticed by the
department and called back.
Within a year after the currency
was called in every bill was accounted
for with the exception of one. Bill
No. A35379766 could not be accounted
for until last week, when ii came into
the possession of A. o. Craig, rest

that is engraved upon the back found

JULIUS ALIAS TOTS COOPER

Hangng---Hs Body Chen to ReLatbes--
His Last Hours in eTaa--Drops atlO.O5.

In the presence of the official wit
nesses sumomned by the Sheriff and
witnessed by large number of the
members of the crowd which crowded
about the Jail on the outside. Julius.
alias "Tots," Cooper, was hanged in
the Jail yard this morning at 1905
o'clock.
No unusual features marked the
closing hours of the life of the con-
demned man and the hanging was car
ried out with completeness and thor
oughness that permitted of no bung-
ling. The large number of persons on
the outside OF the Jail clamored for
admittance, but a detail of police,
aided by two special officers, kept
them back from the building.
Practically everything possible in
connection with the hanging had been
done long before the time set for the
execution except the actual perfor-
nance of the act. When the hour set
for the execution arrived every detail
which had been arranged by the Sheriff
and his deputies were found to have
been properly carried out.
PASSED THE NIGHT IN 81 EEP.
Much the same as the many other
nights which have gone before did
Cooper pass his last night on earth.
Till late hour he sat in the corridor
of his cell and talked with the death
watch and other deputies who were
present in the building Little was
said of the events of the morrow and
the subject was entirely eliminated
from the conversation as the night
wore on.
At midnight Cooper remarked that
he was sleepy and would lie down.
Entering his cell he threw himself
upon his cot and in very few minu
tes his deep breathing gave evidence
that he had secured oblivion of his
thoughts in sleep. Nothing was done
to disturb him and long after the Jail
was astir completing the last arrange
ments for his death he still slept. At
7'o'clock he gave indication that he
was awake. He swung around on the
edge of his cot and with his chin
buried in his hands, sat for some time
in deep thought.
Then, seeming to recover himself, he
arose to his feet and spoke to the death
watch. He gazed out of the window
at the snowcovered ground and the
rising sun, which was lighting the
earth for the last time as far as he
was concerned.

Table Manners In siberia

A traveller in Siberia has the follow.
fng to say in regard to table manners
which he met with: "In eating you
must reach for what is passed during
this first stage of meal. You would
never suggest to your neighbor on the
right to pass you the cheese, but you
would rise in your place and, with a
firm grasp on your knife, reach over
his plate and impale the tempting
morsel. II this is not possible you
leave your place and go around the
table and secure your loot. Ny Rus
sian naturalist. Alex, was a fair SAM
pie of an educated Russian and he
turned to me and said: see you eat
with a fork Yes said I, and I see
that you do not No, | had a sister
who studied at an English convent in
Japan for a year or so. When she
came back she ate with a fork, but
we soon laughed her out of it. The
end Of the Russian knife is broader
than the portion next to the handle
and Il is used both as knife and as
q spoon. They complain that the
American knives do not hold enough"
After this 1t is not surprising that
"the Russians were highly amused"
at the authors "use of the toothbrush,
which they consider a peculiarly fem
mime utensil"

QUEER MARINE CREATURES.
Caught Of Galveston; Smithsonian
Institution Asked to Classify II

There is on exhibition in Galveston
one of the queerest fl n known To stu.
dents of that form of life. 1t was
caught by a sailor on one of the Gulf
fisheries schooners off the banks of
Campeaehy and brought to Galveston.
The fish is about three feet long, a
foot wide. and weighs twenty-three
pounds. II is the first of its kind ever
seen in that section, and mariners who
have travelled and fished all over the
South Gulf of Mexico never saw any
thing like ii. The description OF it
seems to include that of at least four
other species of sea inhabitants.
The tail is very much like that of a
jack fish. while the fins on the back
are very similar to those of a tarpon.
The first three bones of the back fin
extend a great distance, and finally
grow smaller into mere hairs. The
scales are of the exact representation
Of those of the red snapper abounding
In the waters. near Galveston. The in
side of the mouth has much of the for
nation Of the mouth of drum fish,
but the exterior works on the plan OF
a telescope, and looks exactly like the
snout of a pig. The moth contains
a large fleshy tongue, for all the world
like the tongue of human being
The fish has two separate rows OF
teeth, approximately fifty in each of
the jaws. From the upper jaw there
extend downward three tusks on the
order of a boar in miniature. while
from the lower jaw two or more of the
teeth doyetail into the openings left
between those in the upper jaw.
The tu.ks are one inch in length
Over the gills bony formation grows
which very much resembles the forma
tion of a part o. the tail
Strangest perhaps of all is the col
or of the fish The tail and back fins
are black and white streaked. while
the greatest part of the body is of the
peculiar color of the red snapper Just
in front of the gills is spot of yellow.
A number of authorities on fish have
examined the strange creature which
some of them declare is not fish but
a strange marine creature. The speci-
men is being preserved and full de-
scription and picture of the fish have
been forwarded TO the Smithsonian
Institution. Whether il is a freak of
nature or a specimen of new and
unheard of fish none of the local au-
thorities + willing TO decide. but the
majority is inclined TO accept as a new
specimen because it is perfectly form
ed and because other fish resembling
the one captured were seen in the
neighborhood where this one was
brought in, in very deep water.

Do Not Suppress a Cough

When you have cough do not try TO
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only a symptom of some dis
sease, and the disease IS what you should
cure, then the cough viii stop itself. The
most common cause for coughing is
cold. Anodynes viii promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, ETC., are used for
that rurpose, but they do not cure the
cold Chamberlain Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves il by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
obstrucied The breathing and allaying
the irritation and the tickling in the
throat. 1t also opens the secretions and
ehectually and permanently cures the
cold as we'll as the cough. For sale by

COLLEGE STUDENT ILL.
Son of Judge Briscoe Suffering
With Pneumonia.

Norman Briscoe, a student at St.
Johns college, is confined to his
room with a severe and serious attack
of pneumonia. He has been i'll since
Monday and his temperature has been
alarmingly high.
He is the son of Judge Briscoe, of
Calvert county, of the Court of Ap-
peals. The young man is one of the
most popular students at the college
and graet interest is taken in the pro-
gress of his sickness. :
There is considerable grip among
the students at the college and many
of them have been forced TO reliDquish
active studies. None Of the cases are
serious, and it is thought that in a
very short time they will be able TO
resume their studies.

MARCH TO scAFFoLD

The door was opened and Cooper
stepped ont into the corridor. He was
preceded by Sheriff Hardy and Depu-
ty Bryan. Next came Rev. Simonds,
who was followed by Cooper. He
walked erect, with firm tread and
head held high. When the scaffold
was reached he mounted the step with
out tremor. He gave no heed to the
large crowd gathered at its base.
The black robe had already been
placed about his head and Sheriff
Hardy and Deputy Sheriff Bryan
pinioned his arms aud feet.
During this time Rev. Simonds was
reading the prayer for the dying, lift
ing up his voice till it could be heard
in all parts of the yard. Not a
tremor or the movement of limb be-
trayed the fact that Cooper was suffer
ing any mental agony.
Deputy Sheriff Smallwood adjusted
the moose about his neck and pulled
il tightly into position where the
large knot, the principal feature of
the instrument of death, rested firmly
lust beneath his left ear. Then the
Sheriff gave a signal that all was
ready. He motioned the minister to
descend from the scaffold, which he
did, still reading the Office for the
dead.
THE TRAP SPRUNG
Sheriff Hardy was the last to descend
the scaffold. At the bottom of the
steps he looked back Cooper was
standing quietly with the black cap
over his head He stood firmly erect
and seemed the least concerned of all
that great crowd.
Then Sheriff Hardy turned quickly,
pressed his foot with sudden move
ment on the lever working the traps
and Cooper plunged downwardinto six
feet of space until the rope came taut.
Almost instantly there was a convul-
81 ve movement, Cooper's feet were
pulled upward slightly and then
Strengthened downward.
1t was at once apparent that his
neck had not been broken. The slight
movements permitted by the cords
gave indication of strangulation and
not involuntary movements of the
muscles. Drs. j. ]. Murphy and W. G.
Claude, who had been summoned by
the Sheriff to certify to the certificate
of death, examined Cooper five minu-
tes after the trap was sprung and
stated that he was still alive but rap
idly stranRling 20 death. --

cooPRR AwAIrING pEArH

Cooper was provided with new
suit of black clothes. new shoes, a
black tie and white collar. These he
donned without tremor or indica-
tion that he was aware of the fate
which awaited him. His senses SEEM
ed dulled and he appeared in q leth-
argic state. 1t could not be said that
he dressed with any greater attention
to detail than on any other day and
his toilet was soon complete. Then
he alternated long periods Of inactiv-
ity by slowly walking about the cor
ridor. Thus he passed the time until
the hour Of execution.

door at an early hour in the morning
and knocked for admittance. She was

Clipping Farm Horses.

The advantages of clipping the farm
horses are found not only in the greater
comfort and ease with which they will
do their work, but also In the fact that
when the days work is over they will
dry OF very quickly, thus being In a
condition In which the dust and filth
from the days work may be brushed
of and the horse made perfectly clean
for q good nights rest.
Not only is there greater comfort
and better physical condition in the
care OF the clipped horse. but there Is
Less danger from scahed shoulders and
from harness gals. And the clipped
horse, always being dry at night, is IN
less danger from colds, will work
more easily and keep In good condi-
ton on less feed. The name Is nul-
gance on farm horse and should be
cut close, thus keeping the horse cooler

The 400 pound COW Is talked Of as
glibly by the professional dairymen as
though she were an everyday circum-
stance, or, rather, circumstance that
any dairyman could have by little
care In selecting'when making his pur-
chases of cows for the herd. We do
not believe, however, that the 400
pound dairy cow Is a very common
animal. She is possibility, no doubt,
and the ambition of all farm dairymen
should be to bring the herd up to the
400 pound average. But the having Of
these possibilities and the desire to
have them are two distinctly separate
things The dairy will pay on a much
smaller standard than that set by the
400 pound butter fat COW. The cow
that will produce 800 pounds Of butter
fat annually Is not bad cow and
certainly stands above the average Of
the country.-Nebraska Farmer.
