ACTING ERNoR HARPER
HOLDS cIRcUMsTANTIAL Evi.
DENcE NOT CONCLUSIVE.

Canon City, Colo.-Always a stole
noncommittal and taciturn, Andrew
johnson, condemned to die for the
murder of Marshal Frisbie at Lamar,
received the news that Acting Gov
ernor Harper had commuted his SEN
tence to life Imprisonment with q
smile and the words:
That Is good news"
Not another word or comment es-
capped from the lips of this insccrutable
man, whose death seemed but a few
hours removed.
johnson has been a puzzle to War
den John Cleghorn for months, and de-
spite the latter's best efforts to draw
out the man and learn something Of his
past and his relations. not the slighta
est information could be obtained.
When Governor Harper's reprieve
came Warden Cleghorn made one last
effort to force johnson to tell some of
the innermost secrets OF his heart and
life.
Every condition favored Warden
Cleghorn, but again he failed, and that
utterly. Warden Cleghorn acknowl-
edged the receipt Of the message in
these words: II am glad to hear 1t,
governor, for the reason l don't relish
hanging men,"
Then Warden Cleghorn put into ex-
ecution his plan for forcing Johnson to
loose his tongue and tell the secrets
that lie buried so deep In his heart.
Warden Cleghorn went to the execu-
tion house and walked rapidly to John
sons cell. where he stopped abruptly
and looked through the heavy steel
grated door.
step to the door. Johnson" COM
manded Warden Cleghorn.
johnson sprang from the narrow cot
on which he had been lying and stood
attention.
How are you feeling?" asked the
warden.
Fine" answered the convict.
"How can you feel fine with death
staring you in the facet" asked War
den Cleghorn. You know you are SEN
fenced to die this week. Are you ready
to die now?"
II am ready to die" was all Johnson
said. in voice clear. strong and emo
tionless and without the faintest sign
OF CULVER Of any OF his facial muscles.
Turning to Death Watch W. s. Jones
Warden Cleghorn said: Bring John
son out, then"
Jones unlocked the heavy steel
door and beckoned Johnson to come
forth. The convict stepped from the
Cell into the long corridor. with his
hands on his hips. He was cool and
collected and evidently ready for the
worst. Warden cleghorn eyed him for
full minute. but Johnson did not
change his attitude In the least Then
Warden Cleghorn said:
johnson. the governor has COM
muted your sentence to life imprison-
ment."
A faint smile lit up the prisoners
face. and he said: well. that's good
news"
Johnson was led by Guard Jones
back to his old cell.

Originated in Revolution.
The treaty really had its birth In a
revolution. While the American gov.
eminent was pressing for settlement
the claims of its citizens in December,
1904. President Morales, beset by rev.
ciusionists, in the hope of securing the
moral support Of the United States.
entered into an agreement with Capt.
pilinshsm of the American navy, by
which the Dominican custom houses
were 10 be occupied by the Americans
sni the foreign indebtedness Of the
country discharged from the receipts.
Rejected at Washington, this agree
nent gave place March 81, 1905, to a
modus vivendi which has operated up
to this time. This placed an American
collector in charge and provided for
the deposit in New York Of IS per cent
of the customs receipts for the benefit
OF the Dominican creditors.
Morales 10 Not Saved.
The modus vivendi did not save
Morales from political destruction, for
he was deported by the revolutionists
and his vice president, Gen. Caceres.
installed as president. But the modus
vivendi led to the deposit in New York
Of 100000, which will now be placed
to the credit Of the Dominican govern.
ment. That government has had more
available money since the establish
ment of the modus vivendi than at any
other time In its history. It also finds
itself in possession Of four fine coast
guard cutters built in the United
States.

he could buy one with a blade Of ex-

are razors far more expensive than

Thus there are sold razors with han.

cost might mount up to twice that, or
5000 for pair.
There are also silver among those
more expensive silver handled razors,
which range in price for from $3.50 to
$50 each; $3.50 being the price for
one with plain silver handle, while
those more costly have their handles
more or less deliberately chased or
carved.
A man who did not altogether like

find his fancy suited with one having
handle of ivory, and an ivory han

handle can be bought for 81. OF course
any carving would add to the cost.
Costly razors are unusually sold for
