The Crooked Genesse.

Do you ever stop to think what a
crooked old river the Genesee is?
It is said that by way of the river it
is twenty-eight miles from Geneseo
to Mount Morris against six miles
by the road. 1t runs along the west
side of the valley until it nearly
strikes Piffard, then crosses the val
Icy to Geneseo, runs on the east
side about mile and a half, then
turns and runs back again nearly
to the village of Piffard. The two
points at Piffard are only about haN
. mile apart, but to follow the
course of the river from one point
to the other person would travel
from f> to six miles. It is a crook
ed stream. all right enough.-Lv-

A Point Of Interest.

In a certain county Of Arkansas
q man named Walters was put on
trial for stealing q watch. The evi-
dence had been very conflicting, and
as the jury retired the judge re-
marked suavely that if he could af-
ford any assistance in the way of
smoothing out possible difficulties
he should be most happy to do so.
Eleven of the Jurors had filed out of
the box, but the twelfth remained,
and there was on his countenance
an expression indicating great per-
plexity.
'1s there any question you'd like
to ask me before you retire?" asked
his honor, observing the jurors hes
itancy.
The mans face frightened. eyes,
your honor" he replied eagerly. "1'd
like to know, your honor, whether
the prisoner really stole the watch" :"

A wise 0uy.

In a New York street a wagon
loaded with lamp globes collided
with q truck, and many of the
globes we're smashed. Considerable
sympathy was felt for the driver as
he gazed ruefully at the shattered
fragments. A benevolent looking
old gentleman eyed him compassion
ately. "My poor man." he said, 81
suppose you will have to make good
this loss out of your own pocket"
"Yep," was the melancholy reply.
"Well, WE'LL" said the philanthropic
old gentleman, "hold out your hat.
Here's quarter for you, and dare
say some of these other people will
give you . helping hand too" The
driver held out his hat, and several
persons hastened to drop coins in it.
At last, when the contributors had
ceased, he emptied the contents of
his hat into his pocket; then, point
ing to the retreating figure of the
philanthropist who had started the
collection, he observed: 'say, may
be he amt the wise guy! That's

THE ROMAN SENATE.
Il Was Purely Executive, With No Az.
thority to Make Laws.


thority to Make Laws.
The senate Of Rome, which was
an ancient institution, said to have
been established by Romulus him
self, was 4 purely executive body,
having no authority whatever to
make laws. The senate of the Unit
ed States is almost purely legisla-
tive in its functions, having no pow.
er to make appointments outside OF
the body itself, but only to agree to
those made by the president. And
this is largely q formality, as it is
regarded as . very discourteous
thing to refuse to confirm a presi-
Dental appointment.
The Roman senate as instituted
by Romulus consisted of 100 mem
bers. An additional hundred were
added when the Sabines migrated
from Rome. The first Tarquin in
creased the number of senators to
300, at which number it continued
for a long time. Julius Caesar in
creased the number of senators first
to 700 and afterward to 900 mem
bers. Augustus at first added an
other hundred, making an even
1000, but afterward reduced the
number to 600.
Senators were supposed to be men
Of special merit. They were at first
selected by the monarch, but the
duty was afterward intrusted to the
consuls and latterly to the censors.
No man was eligible to the Office
who had not been previously knight
ed and who had held the inferior
Offices Of questor, tribune of the
people, edile, praetor and consul.
The senate met regularly on the
1st Of January and also on extraor-
dinary occasions when called togeth-
er by the consuls, tribunes Of the
emperor.
A Roman senator during the ear
ly days Of the republic made vir-
tue Of poverty and gloried in the
simple life. But when wealth, vice
and corruption became more COM
mon it was decreed that no man
could be q senator whose wealth
amounted to less than 10000 SEES
terces, or about $35, 900, because, it
was argued, he could not support
the dignity of the Office on a less
amount. Therefore when q sena-
tors fortune was reduced below this
sum he was dropped from the rolls.
Under such an arrangement in this
country . man like the late Senator
Hoar, who lived in a boarding house,
would not be eligible.-Punxsutaw-

Paralysis is often initiated BY
beggars and 50 closely that there Is
NO detecting the imposition. A fel-
low is directed how to hang his
wrist loosely down, dropping the
fingers Of one hand, and to drag the
limbs in such q manner as to imi-
tate . psralytic stroke to the life.
He is drilled up to the proper bust
ness mark by marching him around
the beggars' kitchan for hours at
stretch and night after night. This
is continued until the patient can
bear q sudden and unexpected prick
with . needle or even the touch of .
redhot iron without relapsing into
his normal attitude.
Not many years ago one of these
mock paralytics, who was accustom-
ed to throw of his seeming infrmi-
ty and play the burglar by way Of
change, was caught in the very act
of breaking into a house and COM
mitted for trial. Here he got up
such semblance of hopeless paraly-
sis as deceived everybody. When
the trial came on he was carried
into the court on a stretcher and
laid at full length in the dock.
Everybody, including the judge and
jury, commiserated the case, and
he escaped with one years imprison-
nent instead of long term of
penal servitude.
The doctor of the prison to
which the convict was next trans
ferred felt sure that the whole thing
was q sham and tried all the or
binary methods Of detection, in
cluding , liberal use of the galvanic
battery, but without effect. At
length a great heap of damp straw
was collected in the Jail yard, and
the scoundrel, still stretched on his
pallet, which he never quilted, was
placed thereon. The straw was
fred on all sides, throwing out
little flame and dense volumes of
choking smoke. This did the busi-
ness, and quickly too. In less than
a minute the paralytic astonished
everybody but the doctor by bounc-
ing out Of the straw with the agiG-
ty Of . deer.
'"The game is upp he exclaimed,
with = laugh, when he had done
coughing, adding in q tone Of tn
umph, "Anyhow, I have cheated the
law out Of six years."

themselves for weeks and months at

BUcCI WANTED FOR
KILLING HENSAEy

An inquest was conducted by Coron-
er Clark yesterday over the body of
Sam C. Henshey of Trenton, No., the
man who was shot at Spruce creek
Saturday morning, and the verdict was
to the effect that he was killed by
Dominica Bucci and that the killing
was felonious. Sheriff Zimmerman and
Deputy Sheriff Hayes spent the better
part of Saturday and Sunday hunting
for Bucci who, it was learned, did the
shooting and not Pat Devergentes, the
section boss. but they had no success
They secured the gun, l2-guage shot
gun, with which Bucci did the shooting,
and some unused shells loaded with
buckshot.
The only witnesses at the inquest
were Henshey's companion. whose right
name is William Adler, and DIR. Line
baugh who held postmortem. The
jury consisted of T. w. Thomas, fore
man, j. E. Ostrum, William Richards,
w. w. Axe, R. NJ. Hedden and s.
Broughton. Adler said they were in the
section house eating when they were
ordered out by Bucci who Immediately
fired at them.
Henshey died at the county hospital
about 4 O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
death being due to gunshot wounds Six
shot struck him and three struck Ad-
Ter, wounding him only slightly. The
identity of the dead man was learned
through letters in his pockets. He is
the son of J. H. Henshey of Trenton,
Mo-, and the latter is expected here
this evening in response to telegram
telling him of his sons death.
1t rs believed Bucci will be captured
shortly and if so he will have to face
charge of murder.
