The Proper Course.

Governor Marshall, Of Indiana, has
discountenanced the proposal to build
an executive mansion" in that state
to cost $15O,0OO. He said, simply
enough, that it would take a very rich
governor to maintain $150O00 resi-
dence and that the idea was not in ac-
cordance with Democratic simplicity.

The Guillotine.

After many years wherein capital
punishment was not employed, France
lately returned to the use Of that hid
eous instrument, the guillotine. Both
President Fallieres and Minister Gle
menceau opposed it, the latter vigor-
ously, but public sentiment against
certain gang Of murderers and rob-
bers made the people clamorous for
drastic punishment. eff France wants
blood, she shall have blood" was their
answer in effect. The gruesome scenes
enacted at the executions bring back
all the ferocity and mad exultation at
executions typical of the Reign of Ter
ror and the country is Mortified at the

be unemployed, but when he is thrown
out Of work through no fault of his

forced idleness. Statistics just re-

 There was a Scent piece that will send Andrew Smith, negro of Hat chechubbee to the penitentiary--a iit- tie, picayunish Scent piece. For only the presence of the Scent piece. made conclusive the circumstantial evidence which had been gathered against him, and because of the little coin. the jury in the Federal Court yesterday con- victed him of the burglary of the post ooffice at Hatchechubhee.
 During April the office was broken into. and footed. Among the articles missing, according to the postmaster. was 8 number of pennies. Ave or six hundred. and one Scent piece. The small coins lay in cigar box. ready for delivery to headquarters ,as postal money of the Government.

WILD STEAMBOAT
 RUNS INTO BANK

Memphis, August Special. "A wild steamboat ploughing through the Mississippi under full cad of steam ran amuck at the mouth of Wolf river today and ended its mad caper by rum ming its nose hard aground into a sandbank-to lay there vainly chug- gng in futile efforts to plough on through the hard sand. It was the re- suit of an accident which suddenly de- prfved the craft of her engineer un- known to the pilot. and when his bells for reverse went unh eeded, it was too late to put her oyer' and she dived straight Into the bank.
 The little ferryboat Hugo was the boat and Eddie Willis, veteran en- gineer, her engineman. Willis had gone out on the fautail to adjust machinery when an arm swung around and struck him, landing him into the river.
 Rowboats put out from the bank but the Charles Organ picked him up Re- membering Ais live engines. Willis im- mediately jumped back in again and struck out boldly for his craft just as she mounted the sandbar.
 Little damage was done the little craft and she was pulled off the bar.
