JERSEY SLAYER HANGED TWICE.
Frederick Long Found Alive When
Lowered After First Suspension.

New Brunswick, NJ 1.-THE last
5 hanging of a murderer to take place
in New Jersey occurred here and was
attended by sensational episode,
which is regarded as fully justifying
the change from the rope to the cleo
trio chair as the means of executing
death sentence in this State.
The doomed man, Frederick Lang,
condemned for the murder of his
stepniece, was found to be still alive
after he had hanged for eight minutes
and had been lowered until his feet
touched the ground. He was again
raised and ten minutes later was pro-
nounced dead.
Nearly three years have elapsed
since the murder was committed He
is the last man to meet death by. SEN
tence in this manner in the State of
New Jersey, as hereafter all men con-
demned to pay this penalty will be
electrocuted
The murder of Mary Gordon took
place on April 20, 1906. Lang had
proposed to the girl, who was then
nineteen years old, several times, but
had been rejected She threatened
to tell her stepfather if he did not
stop bothering her. Lang drew his
revolver and killed her.

To-day war is nothing more than
cold-blooded slaughter, pleads the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Noiseless rifles, long-range machine
guns, mines, electric current and
aeroplanes reduce the whole matter
to mathematical basis. The effect
of such developments may be seen
by consulting the roster at West
Point. Not that youth fears war, for
that can never be said of Americans,
but that war is not attractive as a
profession.

Yellow journalism is now thing
of the past or has faded to mild
ecru shade beside the saffron hue of
many books and magazines, remarks
the Boston Globe. The jaundiced
magazinist spatters his color with a
reckless abandon. You can almost
feel the chrome tints spatter on your
face as you scan his quarantine eff
fusion. You cannot get by him. Epi-
tibet, metaphor and analogy are mixed
into one chromatic mass on his pal
cite and then slammed against his
canvas with the splurge of barker
at circus sideshow To say he in
dulges in exaggeration is to speak
tamely. He piles Pelions OF hyper
bole on Ossas of turgescence. II his
colors do not scream loud enough to
arrest your attention he bludgeons
you with his fgurative mahlstick into
noticing their prismatic effects.

Way to School.

Who Tries to XIII Himself
Refused to Explain.

New York City. After shooting
and instantly killing his daughter,
Miss Anna Mangano, a teacher in
public school, in 103d street, near
Third avenue, as she was walking
through 1O3d street on her way to
school, Philip Mangano attempted to
blow out his own brains. A man who
had witnessed the murder seized him
and two shots fired by Mangano went
wild

the school. AS she got opposite 166
East 103d street Mangano, who had
been following her, ran up behind,
pulled a revolver and shot her
through the head.
When he saw that he had killed
the girl Mangano fed east through
103d street, pursued by mob that
had been attracted by the Snot ana
the screams of the teachers. He had
gone but few yards when Adolph
Schwartz, who saw the shooting,
hurled himself on the fugitive just
as he turned his revolver on himself.
Schwartz knocked Manganese arm
up, and the bullet went through the
slayers hat. A second effort to
shoot himself resulted in the bullet
going wide of it's mark.
AS he. crossed Third avenue Sergt.
England and Patrolman Gisselbrecht
grabbed him. His strength was equal
to theirs, and they had to club him
before he would submit to arrest.
Frank Lacatira and his wife, the
latter a sister of the dead girl ar
rived at the station house soon after
and Lacatira asked that Mangano be
brought before him. AS soon as La
catiro saw his father-in-law, he cried
"Mangano, you dog, you should be
tortured for this; 1t is lucky you are
under the care Of the police or I
should punish you myself"
Mangano refused to explain.

novel idea for adding to its income.
A sufficient number of umbrellas and
walking sticks, with hollow handles,
has been purchased for the use of the

big enough to admit sixpence of
half sovereign The coins drop down
to the bottom of the handle when
put in the slot, and when the space
is full the top is unscrewed and the
money taken out. What is to happen
in the event of the umbrellas being
stolen is not stated for the benefit OF

Parents that want to make their
boys boxers are at liberty to do so,
but they can't do it in the public
schools, insists the New York Journal.
Parents that want to make their chill
dren Quakers, or Hindoos, or Mahom-
etans, or followers of any other re-
ligion, are at liberty to do so, but un-
der our Constitution, which forbids
the public recognition of religion,
that cannot be taught in the public
schools. Fighting and religious
teaching are equally foreign to a
public school curriculum. The public
schools are modern, expressing the
thought born with the Declaration OF
Independence in this country. In the
public schools all boys are equal in
the teachers sight. all religions are
equally entitled to respect. Cold
knowledge, independent of faith and
belief, and scientific hygiene-those
are the things with which the public
schools occupy themselves and always
will occupy themselves.
