opposed the argument for a pardon
and in summing up the case he de-
clared that not only was De Mazio
guilty of murder,tbut he was a big
amist and the crime was one of the
most heinous in the history of the
county.
The death warrant was read to De
Mazio by Sheriff Calpin one day last
week and the condemned man show
ed no concern about it. Prepara-
tions are being made for the execu-
tion, which takes place in the coun-
ty Jail at Scranton. James Van
Hise, the Jersey hangman who chok-
ed Carcio into eternity, will in all
probability preside at the hanging.
He has a specially built scaffold for
the work, and instead of springing a
trap and letting the victim through,
he jerks them into the air. In this
way, it is said, that the neck is
broken either by the first lift or by
the drop.
Me Mazio, however, is very much
unconcerned over his fate and there
will be little danger of him breaking
down, as did Curcio.

THE CASE OF PATRICK.

Albert T. Patrick has lost again
in his fight for freedom, the APP
pellate Division of Brooklyn hav-
ing by unanimous voice decided
that his conviction and life sent
ence for the murder of William
Marsh Rice were lawful. Counsel
for Patrick, however announce
that the court will be asked to per-
NIT an appeal from it's decision and
that if this is denied the case will
be carried to the United States Su-
preme court.
In the records of criminal juris-
prudence in America there is no
parallel to the case of Patrick,
whose fight for freedom has extend
ed over nine years and has been
marked by a variety of legal ex-
pedients surprising even to old
practitioners at the criminal bar.
The long running fight with the
technicalties of the law has been
the more unique from the fact that
the defendant has in the main been
his own counsel, directing his case
from behind prison bars with an
adroit persistence that has excited
the admiration Of many. Seven
times was the date of execution set,
but Patrick never lost heart.
Following his conviction in the
Court of General Sessions before
Recorder Goff, Patrick made mo-
tion for a new trial, but this motion
was denied. He then carried the
case up to Albany, where the Court
of Appeals sustained the Judgment
of the trial court. Still Patrick was
not discouraged. The battle was
waged through the United States
courts as well as the state courts.
Then the case took the form OF
petitions to the late Governor Hig-
gins to commute Patrick's sentence
and on December 20, 1906, the
sentence was commuted to life
Imprisonment. Patrick was not
satisfied. He was taken before the
Appellate Division of the Second
Department where he argued his
own case, alleging that Governor
Higgins had no right to commute
death sentence to one of life i'm.
prisonment.
The latest decision is against this
novel plea, but Patrick still feels
that he has a chance for freedom
and a new move may be expected
at any time.

The Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company shows s persons killed
and 230 hurt. Its fatalities were
1 passenger and 1 employee, 4
pedestrians and 2 persons driving.
over one-half of it's accidents or
116, were to passengers, 10 to en-
ployees, to trespassers, so to
pedestrians and 46 to persons in
vehicles.
The Pittsburg Railways Company
has the largest showing of injuries
in the State, there being no less
than 311, but it's number of fatali-
ties, is but three, while the West
Penn Company shows six five OF
which were trespassers. Two of
the accidents on the Pittsburg lines
were to pedestrians and one to a
driver. On the other hand no less
than ZIG passengers were hurt to
eight employees and five trespas-
sers. Forty-nine people in the
SJTeelS were III anu Ihli " -Ihi &C
who were driving.
The Pittsburg and Butler Com
pany also has three fatalities, all
to employees and the York Railways
Company two, both persons in a
vehicle.
The Harrisburg, Johnstown
Scranton, Reading, Easton, Potts
vile and Jefferson systems have one
fatality each, being either tres
passer on the tracks or a person
struck on a highway.
The Chester Traction shows twen'
ty persons, twelve of them passen'
gers, hurt; Altoona and Logan Val
llley, sixteen; Conestoga Traction
operating in Lancaster county
thirteen; Philadelphia and Chester
ten; United Traction of Reading
twelve; Wilkes-Barre and Wyoming
thirty-two, and York, fifteen, mostly
passengers.

ADVERTISING.

Advertising seems to be an art
yet to be discovered by some peo-
pie. That is, the practical part of
it. A constant stream of water
from one or more fire engines will
soon extinguish or get under con-
troll a very large fire, while a few
buckets of water, dashed on here
and there, have little or no effect.
The modern fire department is
practical, and has outgrown the
bucket system, and so with modern
dvertising-plenty of it, used in a
practical, common sense and judi
cious manner, pays. If you want
to catch a certain kind of fish you
use a certain kind of bait. Not all
people respond to every advertise
ment. The newspaper is med
ium indispensable to the majority
of advertisers, because of it's wide
and repeating circulation. AS a
promoter of trade and profit news
paper advertising is no longer an
open question; that is, when done
in a practical and intelligent man
ner, and pays because of it's eff
fectiveness and cheapness.

MANY KILLED And
INJURED in PENN'A

Railroad Commission Makes First

A BASEBALL RACE,

The latest in the line of freak
relay race is the proposition to
throw baseball from Chicago to
New York, the same passing through
the hands of some 10000 men and
boys stationed $50 feet apart, to see
how long it will take. 1t is believ-
ed that it can be done between sun
rise and sundown of one long day in
July, but it is important that no boy
shall drop the ball, as time would
be lost in picking it up.

history, can that be without
cause? No. The shadow OF an
enormous right hand rests on
Waterloo. 1t is the day of Des-
tiny. A power which above man
controlled that day. Hence, the
loss of mind in dismay; all these
great souls yielding up their
swords. Those who had con-
quered Europe fell to the
ground, having nothing more to
say or do, feeling a terrible
presence in the darkness. Hoe
erat in fatis. That day, the
perspective of the human race
changed. Waterloo is the hinge
of the nineteenth century. The
disappearance of the great man
was necessary for the advent OF
the great century. One to whom
there is no reply, took it IN
charge. The panic of heroes
is explained. In the battle OF
Waterloo, there is more than
cloud, there is a meter. God
passed over it.

Golden Text-Put ye on the Lord
Jesus Christ-Rom. xiii:14.
Verse SIS it always sinful to go
into debt, when you have no visible
means Of paying 1t?
Is it right, or wrong, to go into debt
when you have nothing to pay with,
If your creditor knows your circum-
stances?
Is a business man who has honestly
tailed in business and given up all he
has to his creditors, under moral OBJ
legation to pay the balance of the
debt, if he makes enough money to do
so out Of future business?
Under modern business conditions,
and the law of love and righteousness,
when wholesalers sell on time, or give
an adequate discount for cash to re-
tailers, why are not the debts of an
honest bankrupt retailer, the legiti.
mate loss Of his creditors in common
with himself?
Wherein consists the folly and sin
of wage-earner in constant work,
getting into debt?
Is it the duty of everybody to love
everybody, the bad and the good, ene-
mics and friends?
What is the advantage of loving
everybody, to ourselves, and to those
whom we love:
Verses 9-10-Give reasons, outside
of the Bible, that will cover all cir
dsobey these five moral prohibitions.
(This question must be answered in
writing by members of the club.)
Must all such acts, as are here for
bidden, contravene the law of love to
make them sinful; for example, If
you had to kill man who was about
to kill one of your loved ones, would
that be sinful?
Can an act be wrong that works
out for the good of all parties?
| Verses 11-12--If you knew you had
! to die inside of a month, what effect
would that have upon your intentions
and actions, so far as God is con-
cerned; and if it would change these
in the least, does that not prove that
danger?
Most people are morally and spirit.
ually asleep, and many are far into
the night; what are the conditions
which should suddenly startle such
into full consciousness, as to their
danger and their duty?
Verse 13-How is it that the night
is the time selected for so many bad
deeds?
Should a man ever do thing which
he is ashamed for his best friends and
neighbors to know?
Does the popular conscience gener-
ally, or always represent Gods atti-
tude to a thing; or are there some
things God may be pleased with which
the community would condemn as
wrong, or vice versa?
How is It that barroopcS are gener-
ally screened off from the public gaze?
Why is it crime for man to get
drunk?
Why do most drunkards get drunk
in the night, or away from public
gaze?
Does the drink habit generally lead
to the other four grave evils mention.
ed in verse thirteen?
Verse 14-What is the sure remedy
for the drink habit, and all kindred
evils of the flesh?
Does putting on Jesus, always
mean putting on strength so we can
control all the passions of the body,
and the ambitions of the soul?

Ancient knowledge.

c., taught the doctrine of the ro-
tundity Of the earth, and the ideas
of the sphere, it's poles, axis, the
equator, arctic and antarctic circles,
equinoctial points and the solstices
were quite generally entertained by
the wise men of that time. There
were plenty Of men in Rome, there
fore, who were prepared to talk
about the earth as a sphere and to
make globes illustrating their idea.
