settles all disputes between the condemned
prisoners. whose cells are isolated from
those Of other inmates of the prison. They
can talk with each other without seeing.
A couple OF months ago Patrick's formal
term OF year of Office expired. His death
sentence was to be executed August Z. His
subjects wanted him to serve again, at
least as long as the law permitted. but he
demurred that he would be too busy pre-
pairing his appeal to attend to his duties.
So he was regarded as an honorary hold
over and the Office was held vacant for him
until the state court Of appeals granted
him another application for a rehearing.
which acted as stay. Then he was for
mally elected mayor for the full term.

The Ruling Passion.

1t is often said OF Americans that they
have a passion, II not genius. for organi-
cation. They are certainly fairly subject
to this observation. Let three citizens OF
the United States fall into close associa-
ton for any length of time and they will
by at least tacit agreement follow leader
and perhaps they will IN spirit of semi
seriousness dub themselves a club, or a So
ciety, lodge. The average American Is
elect somebody or other to an Office. He
wants to exercise his right of suffrage In
every possible direction. He joins fraternal
organizations and electioneers for officers
He organizes social clubs and maneuyers
for political advantage He marches with
the ward clubs and becomes a politician.
If there is the least shadow of mutually of
interest or labor or opportunity society
comes into being naturally as the plant
develops from the seed.
A striking evidence of this tendency Is af-
forded by a dispatch from New York telling
Of the election of Albert T. Patrick, convicted
of the murder of Millionaire Rice, as Mayor
of the Death House at the Sing Sing prison.
There are now Ave inmates of this cheerful
place. all awaiting execution for crimes.
Patrick is the oldest inhabitant, having
managed by dint of repeated appeals and
clever court maneuvers to secure postpone
ments Of his execution for three years and
q half. BY virtue OF both his greater length
Of habitation and his markedly superior
