The speaker said he told Butter how
he would write up his death; how he
would make spread of it; how 1T
would appear on the first page of the
paper 1t cheered Butter UP so that
he went off in joyous frame of mind
to kill himself. The reporter and the

poet:
He put the revolver to his forehead
and blew a tunnel straight through his

of your finger. You could look right
through it. The job was complete.
There was nothing in it.

MINERS OUTLOOK BAD
General Sentiment is That Illinois Coal
Operators Association In Session at
Chicago Today, Will Refuse Miners
Demand for Wage Increase.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-The meeting of the
Illinois Coal Operators Association,
which includes almost all Of the opera
tors of the state, was held here today.
1t was announced before the meeting
commenced, that the only business be-
fore the association was the reading
of the report of the executive commit
tee, regarding the recent conference
between the operators and miners at
indianapolis. Many of the members
declared that there was no doubt that
the report recommending the denial of
the demand of the miners for an in

The session was executive. After the
report of the executive committee had
been read and discussed, it was un-
animously approved. No other busi-
ness was transacted.

gro's crime it was feared by the au-
thorities that there would be hostlie
demonstration against the defendant
when he would be brought into court,
but no unseemly incident marked the
trial of the case. There was a large
crowd in and about the courthouse all
day and Sheriff Norcross had detail
of deputies on duty in the trial ROOM
He said he did not fear a lynching'
but did not want to take any chances.
Johnson. who had been in mortal fear
of mob violence. sat unmoved thruout
the proceedings.
d johnson was defended by Jacob G.
Hendrickson, who had been appointed
by the court. The witnesses called
against Johnson included several
physicians and persons who had seen
the negro lettering about the Straw
bridge estate, in the stable of which
the murder was committed. Johnson
took the stand in his own defense and
repeated the confession he made in
Baltimore He denied that he assault
ed the woman and. said he had no IN
tention of killing her. When she
screamed on discovering him in the
barn he choked her to prevent her
from giving an alarm. as the police
were after him for committing rob-
berry in the neighborhood.
Took Two Hours to Decide.
The jury was out only two hours
and returned verdict of guilty.
Asked hy Judge Hendrickson If he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. Johnson
said: IF it could would like that it
be delayed for a while"
The judge replied that considering
the situation and the circumstances,
the time of the execution would be
made a nearer date than what gener-
ally follows in such sentences. The
court then advised Johnson to spend
what time he had on earth in prepar-
ing himself for death. we commend
YOU to the Father of all mercy, and
ask Him to forgive YOU" said the
Judge. johnson was then sentenced
to be hanged on Friday, February 20

ground that the court exceeded Its jur-
isprudence in indicting the couple a
second time, after they were released
on a technicality. States Attorney
Scott argued for motion to strike out
the plea of the defendants. At the
conclusion, Judge Gest said that next
Monday morning would be taken up

MARK TWAIN, TRUTH TELLER.

Pointers on Lying.

Pointers on Lying.
New York, Feb. 9.-Mark Twain was
the guest of honor at dinner given
Wednesday night by the Press Club,
and the Manhattan Dickens Fellow
ship in the Press Club rooms to COM
memorate the ninety-fourth anniver-
sary Of the birth of Charles Dickens.
In the course of the dinner Mark"
expressed his opinion on the compe-
tency of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to
instruct his bible class on the subject
Of veracity. He also aired his thoughts
on the general subject of lying.
young John D. Rockefeller two
weeks ago, taught his bible class all
about veracity. Some of the letters 1
have received suggest that l go there
and learn, too. Why. 1 know Mr..
Rockefeller and he is a good fellow.
He is competent in many ways to
teach bible class, but when it comes
to veracity he is only 35 years old. I'm
70 years old. have been familiar
with veracity twice as long as he has.
Real Point to Hatchet Story.
Sand the story about George Wash
ington and his little hatchet," contin-
ned the speaker, "also has been sug-
gested to me in these letters in a fur
tive way, as if / needed some of George
Washington and his hatchet in my
constitution. Why, dear me, they over
look the real point of that story. The
point is not the one that usually is
suggested. You can readily see that.
The point is not that George said to
his father, Yes, father, 1 cut down the
cherry tree, cannot tell a lie,' but that
a little boy only years old should
have his sagacity developed under
such circumstances. He was boy
wise beyond his years.
"Now, then, George-little George
knew that everything was against
him; he knew his father would send
him around the plantation and in
ouire for a small boy with a hatchet,
and so he had the wisdom to come out
and confess it. Now, the idea that his
father was overjoyed when he told
little George he would rather have him
cut down 1000 cherry trees than to tell
a lie is all nonsense. What did he
really mean? Why, that he was abso-
|lutely astonished that he had a son
who had a chance to tell a lie and
didn't.
Making Of Poet.
mark" said he always had taken an
interest in young people who wanted
to become poets. He remembered that
he was particularly interested in one
budding poet when he was a reporter
on a newspaper. This young poets
name was Butter. Mark was out
of job, and Butter came around to
him one day and said disconsolately
that he was going to commit suicide
that he was tired Of life, not being able
to express his thoughts in poetic form.
Butter asked Reporter Clemens what
he thought Of the idea. Said the speak
