Death Penalty Not Executed.

ORRINGToN, Me-, July 29.-Howard A.
Cleveland is dead at theAState prison at Thorn
aston, after having been confined there since
1869 under sentence of death. For some rea.
son never explained the sentence was not car
ried out, nor was il annulled nor modified. 1t
seems to have been forgotten, and Cleveland
lived on until he died a natural death.
The case was one of the most remarkable in
this State. 1t was the only murder ever com
mitted in Orrington. The records show that
Cleveland was indicted for the wilful and ma
licious murder of Warren George. A verdict
of guilty was rendered in 1869. Cleveland
was sentenced to death. Before fixing the
day for the execution the governor and eoun-
sci submitted the following question to the
Supreme Court of Maine: "Did the jury, by
its verdict, find Cleveland guilty Of murder in
the first degree p
The Jury had merely declared Cleveland
guilty of the crime whereof he stood indicted.
The indictments intent was plain, but there
was some difference of opinion among the
! justices as TO whether or not 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 commuted. Jus
| why no attempt was made to carry the sen
tence into effect does not appear. Since 1914
! the laws had left the execution of the deatf
| penalty in a measure to the discretion of tht
Executive without limit of time. The respon
sibiIily was so great aud the sentiment agains
the death penalty So active that at one perioC
! there was no execution in this State for nearl.
80 years. In 1876 the death penalty was abol
ished altogether. In 1888 the death penalt.
| for murder was re-established, but in 1887
was again abolished.

Corn Greatest of Them All.
From Harper's weekly.

From Harpers weekly.
Corn fed pork furnishes our tables with
millions of hams and sausages. besides ba-
con aud lard. Corn produces the best Of
poultry and eggs, Of which alone we as a
nation, consume more when measured by
dollars) than we do of wheat. OF corn
starch we use about 81, 600, 600 year,
to say nothing of the enormous conSump-
ton of glue, combs and other products
made from the horns, hoofs and hair of
those corn-led animals. To all these we
must add product Of corn oil (maximum,

the by-produets of corn-oil, starch, glucose,
whisky and alcohol, dried and sold in cakes,
for animal food, amounting to millions of
dollars per year. Nor is that all that corn
accomplishes. Besides giving food and
clothing in the form of animal and vegeta-
BILE products, as indicated, it gives life and

woakoning of Credit by Personal
Surety.

From the independent
In becoming surety, business men were
formerly accustomed to regard the bond as
merely a matter of form. They lightly
assumed liability Of this kind as very
remote contingency. even when the amount
involved was considerable sum. The
custom Of acting as personal surety came
into existence before the advent OF the
surety companies nov organized 10 under
take risks Of this character The assum
ins Of liability as personal surety still
lingers in some sections There has lately
been pronounced reaction against this,
however. in view Of the fact that the ex-
isience OF such liability curtailS credit.
The modern credit man is forced to scrun-
nire all conditions weighing for or against
a debtor aud if a liability for personal
surety hangs over a customer seeking credit
Of him he is bound to take eognizance OF
this. jus, as he would anything else affect
inc the finances Of his customer that would
be. Dispatches from Columbus, Ohio,
specifically mention ease where mer-
chant Of that city sought TO be relieved as
surety on bond because he found that
the obligation thus resting upon him, per
haps thoughtles>ly assumed, had tended to
weaken his credit. The case Is typical IS
showing the modern trend in commercial
ism. II business man seeking credit
found it impossible to obtain it because he
had become surety on bond the penalty
Of which was equal to or in excess of hi,
total assets, he could not escape the know
ledge Of an assumption on his part Of a
real obligation, which might at some fu-
ture time reduce him to bankruptcy if not
to actual want. The sooner a sentiment
in favor Of corporate surety Is created the
better il will be.

The Passing of the Parlor.

4 writer in the furniture trade journal
refers to the fact that the old fashioned
parlor has seen its day and is not to be
found in modern homes. So the fine old
institution is going. is it? Maybe it is just
as well that it should 90. 1t was usually
a place of silence and gloom to the children
of the household; forbidden place, like
the secret room in Bluebeard's castle.
Nevertheless it was the pride of mamma
and the ''bete noir of papa, who couldn t
smoke there, and was always leaving the
blinds open 50 that the sun would shine in
and fade the beautiful red carpet.
How vividly the picture of the old-tash-
isned parlor comes back to the mind. There
was the mohair covered sofa, the mohair
covered rocking chairs aud the mohair
covered standing chairs all very shiny,
very slick and very uncomfortable. The
chairs stood as straight as if their perpen
dicular had been determined with a plumb
line, and their seats were springy and bulb
Gus. The small boy who attempted to SIT
on one of them found himself perpetually
sliding off, and then crawling back on again.
In one corner was the ''what- not, an
ornate affair on which were gathered cups
and saueers bearing such legends as For
a Good Boy. ''rc Good Girl, "To
Our Mother and the like, in addition to
hundred gewgaws and iimcracks defying
description In the center of the room
was the center table, usually round with
marble top. On this was the family
album and the family Bible, the former
containing the faded pictures Of Uncle Ned
in iil-itting clothes and Aunt Fanny in
hoopskirts, frills and curls, and the latter
preserving record of the births and deaths
for several generations. The family album
was an indispensable feature of every old
fashioned parlor \ family might get
along without the stuffed birds or the wax
flowers under the glass ease, but an album
was necessity. Visitors always found it
a source uG interest, aud il was usually well
thumLed
The very atmosphere Of the old parlor
was different from that found anywhere
else in the house, or out Of doors. There
was a sort Of 'parlor smell about 1t that,
once shifted, may never be forgotten
This was due. Of course, To the fact that
the room was kept shut tight nearly all the
time A parlor IS or used to be, the only
noon that didn't need ventilation. The
luxury of it had to be kept shut up, for
I purposes Of preservation. IL didn matter
I If it was a bit musly in smell WASH 1t the
parlor. and didn t everybody slse : parlor
+ smell the same way
And 50 the old parlor is passing. Maybe
, 1t j. all night for it to 20. But we shall
/ ever remember it with tenderest feelings.
+ II was in the old parlor that we courted
our sweethcarts, married our wives, chris
tened our babies and took our last views OF
loved ones Is they lay with hands folded
/ upon their breasts Modern modern modes
/ Of living may abolish the parlor as 1t USED
/ To be. bug they can never abolish from the
minds u those who knew the dear old IN

they feel for it,
