FEARS NOT EXECUTION
CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST GOES TO
DEATH IN ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Considers 1t "Mere Incident" in Human
Progress-A Passing of the
Spirit.

OSSINlNG. y. V, Feb. 25.-George
Granger, aged 20 years. was put to
death in the electric chair at Sing Sing
prison today. His crime was the murder
Of farmer, Charles Lutz in Duchess
county, in 1905. The electric current
was applied three times before Granger
was declared dead. He became con-
vert to Christian Science a few days
ago.
Granger was the first prisoner to ap-
proach the death chair believing that
death is of no account, Il mere incident
III progress as taught by CHRISTIAN
Science.
That Granger would meet death with
out any of the terrors which the end or
life holds for most people was youched
for by Mrs. Charles II. Hickock wife OF
one Of Poughkeepsic'S most prominent
business men and Il worker IN the
Christian Science church.
On Friday GOV. Hughes announced
that he would not interfere in the Gran
ger case. although petition from Pough-
kecpsie had been presented to the gov
crnor asking that the sentence be com
muted to Imprisonment for life.

Black Cat Football Teams Mascot.

The strange sight of a black cat as the
travelling mascot of a football team was
witnessed in connection with a league
match at Park avenue. Bradford, on
Saturday. Early in the season fine,
glossy black cat strayed into the prem
ises of the Halifax Football club at
Thrum hall Some members of a super
stitious turn of mind perceived in this
visit an omen of good fortune and, in
keeping with local custom, buttcred
the animals paws, Ever since the cat
has received the kindliest treatment
and fortune has smiled on the efforts Of
the club.
At practice the cat takes up a promi-
nent position where it can view opera
tons and seems to take deep interest in
the players. The team has won twenty
one of its twenty-four league matches
this season, their latest triumph on Sat
urday being over Bradford, which is at
tributed to some occult feline influence.

Cigarettes.

The cigarette output Of i,3GS, 129,015
in the calendar year Of 1906 must have
come as a surprise TO the bulk of the
trade, but more stunning yet its increase
in one year of S42, 24U. 4o2, an increase
by nearly three hundred millions larger
than the increase of our cigar industry
during the same year. This jump is the
more remarkable in the face of the pro-
nounced and unrelenting hostility of a
half dozen state Legislatures which
have ostracized not only the manufacture
but also the handling and consumption
of cigarettes within the confines of their

GERMS IN AUTO DUST
CAUSE FATAL MALADY
Farmers of Long Island, Aroused by
Illness Due to Fast Driving,
Declare War on Reck-
less Motorists

EASTPoRT, L. l., Aug. 2S.-A death
here, directly attributed by physicians to
inhaling disease germs in the dust raised
by autos. has increased the hostility of
the farmers and others living in the east
ern end of Long Island against automo-
bile owners.
There has been severe drought In this
section of Long Island, anu consequently
the roads have been very dusty this sum-
mer. Early in the season many of the
residents contracted a disease of the
throat due to the germs in the flying dust
raised by automobiles Hundreds of per-
sons contracted the ailment, which was
not seriously regarded at first, because of
its mild symptoms. A
Characterized by chills, sore throat and
nausea, it generally terminated in a few
days, leaving the victim as well as before.
The recent death of one of it's victims,
however, and the serious Illness of others
from the same malady have produced
more antagonism against the automobile
than ever before existed

TOXIC. Aug. 2s-An important state
council which was to have been held to-
morrow has been postponed until Friday
owing to the fact that some of the minis
ters and elder statesmen from out OF
town have been detained on account or the
recent flood and consequent damages TO
the railways.
The council has been specially called to
consider Marquis Ito's plans and Korean
policy, necessitated by the new relations
established by the last convention between
Korea and Japan
The details of Marquis Itos plans are
not known, but the fundamental points
are believed to consist in effecting a
thorough reform in the land system which
is now in a chaotic condition, and also
the establishment of a new system or
judiciary and police on the Japanese plan.
These measures will naturally be con-
siderable of a drain on Japan's treasury
1t is thought that Marquis Ito plans to
ask an extra annual outlay of little over
1000, 900 yen for period of five years.
Those well informed are confident with
a reform effected in the land system,
Korea's revenues will increase remarkably
without in the least inconveniencing the
present taxpayers in the next fve years.

this morning, the miners union adjourned
without taking any action on the change

hoped that the action of last Friday in

drawn as untenable and as violation be-
