THE WARRANT CAME.
So They Took the Woman From Her
Washtub to the GalIows.


The hanging of a woman, which in
these days calls forth public protests,
was apparently matter of indiffer-
ence to our grandfathers and grand
mothers. 1t was in the nineteenth
century that Il woman found guilty of
some trifling offense was sentenced to
death. BY chance the warrant for her
execution was not sent to the high
sheriff, and she remained in prison
for about three years, acting as jail
washerwoman and occasionally, as n
favor in acknowledgment of her good
behavior, going out, as was then the
custom, as washerwoman to private
houses. But clerk looking through
the home Office records found the war
rant that had never been dispatched,
and it was thereupon promptly for
warded to the sheriff for due process.
The woman was found by the turn
key at the washtub in a house in the
town - Aylesbury. well, missus,"
said he, you are to be hanged. The
warrant has come at last, and we must
carry the sentence out tomorrow morn
ing at the latest" VERY well, then"
the wretched woman submissively re-
piled, II suppose 1 must CO." and, hav-
ing washed the soapsuds off her arms,
departed with the official. She was
duly hanged the next morning. from
all which 1t would seem that barely a
century separates us from a condi-
ton of primitive barbarism.-London

A Point of View.

The new steamer City of - YVES

rickety old timers of the line was sail

somewhat irritated by the fact re-
marked to another, an Irishman, by
the way. The City Of - always gets
in at in the morning, and this old
tub never gets in before g."
The Irishman thought for a moment
and replied: ITS all right The dis
lance is just the same. and we get @

THE ELECTRIC CRATER.
How the Arc Light Is Produced Be-
tween the Electrodes.

tween the Electrodes.
Everybody knows that an arc light
is formed by causing an electric cur
rent to pass between the points of two
carbon rods. One of these is called
the positive and the other the mega
five electrode, and the current passes
from the former to the latter. Parti-
cles of carbon are carried on from the
positive electrode until its end be-
comes cup shaped.
To the little cup thus formed the
name of scrater is applied, and from
this crater four-fifths of the light Is
emitted. The negative electrode does
not become SO hot as the other. Be
tween the two little cloud of vapor-
lied carbon is formed, rising from the
crater, and this vapor gives forth a
golden yellow light. But it is over
powered by the light of the crater it.
SELF which has a violet tinge due to the
incandescence of solid particles of car
bon. The arc of light extended from
one electrode to the other also has an
axis of violet color which Is its most
brilliant part. The fact that most of
the luminosity comes from the crater
explains the reason why the light does
not appear equal in all directions 1t
is brightest from that point of view
which shows the largest portion of the
crater.
An interesting effect is often noticed
when flies or other insects futter about
an arc light. Their shadows cast on a
neighboring wall appear gigantic. The
reason is that the light of the crater
is concentrated in point smaller than
the bodies of the insects, and the bound
aries of the shadows consequently
widen with increase of distance.-St.
Louis Republic.

$SSO,O00 INCREASE
Quarter of a rliIIion in Deposits Gained
In Seven Months.
SUCCESS OF PAGES BANK
The LamoiIle County Savings Bank
, and Trust Co. Has Passed the Mil
lion and a Quarter Mark.

The town of Hyde Park is credited with
a population of less than 1900, yet its
bank is one of the big banks of the State
OF Vermont. This is another case of 1.-The
man behind the gun," for the result is
due to the connection of the Hon. c. 5,
Page with the Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company. Governor
Page has given much time and thought
to this bankiand has every reason to be
proud not only of its remarkable growth
but still more of its reputation. This
bank makes the undisputed claim that in
some twenty years it has not lost a dol
lar by bad loan, that it does not own a
doubtful note andi that now and for
twenty years it has invested all its money
in Vermont loans. This record speaks
well for this State when business has
been conducted SO wisely that neither
panic nor initiation has caused those bor-
rowingsfrom the Hyde Park bank to fail
to meet all obligations.
How did Page do it? That question
interests not only other bankers but all
business men. The answer is by liberal
use of printers ink in advertising and by
backing up his advertising by delivering
the goods. His style of advertising is a
different style, perhaps less digni6ed, yet
never in bad taste. His announcements
emphasize the point that any money de-
posted in this bank will be loaned in
Vermont and will benefit the depositor
not only directly by interest earned but
also indirectly by aiding to develop Yer
mont. This argument has doubtless
brought thousands of dollars to HYDE
Park, but the money would not have
been sent if the depositor had not had
confidence in Mr.. Page and if the liberal
use of newspaper advertising had not
brought the Page bank to the favorable
notice of the public. The people of Yer
mont are thrifty and prosperous, very
little affected on the whole by the recent
panic and able and willing to put large
sums of money where they think that it
will be safe and will pay fair interest.
The same methods and reputation that
has brought deposits of one and quarter
million to the Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company will doubtless
double this sum in time less than was
required to get the first three hundred
thousand dollars
A good bank is one of the most useful
institutions in building up community
Ex-Governor Page has not builded for
himself alone in making this bank strong.
Its strength is the measure of its power
for useful service in building up the
State. May the time soon come when its
present deposits shall be doubled and
may Mr.. Page he on hand to guide
its administration.

Battling Hurley of Passaic, N. J., won in canter last night in his six round bout with Charley Grimm at the Bedford A. C.. Brooklyn. Hurley, who appeared to be in his old time form, made his attack on Grihin's body, and the tattoo he played on the Australian's ribs left bruises and welts that "GriK" will carry for many days. Once. by way of diver sion, Hurley put over. a hot one on the jaw that sent the visitor from for eign shores to the mat. He took the count of nine, came back and finished the round by sprinting lively. A
 A big crowd saw the battle, and Hurley's victory was popular. The usual Passaic delegation was on deck and cheered loud and long for their favorite.
