AN AVENUE OF ESCAPE.

1t will be recalled that some time
ago New Jersey grand jury indicted
various members of the meat trust, all
OF whom lived beyond the confines of
that state. Since those indictments
were found the officers charged with
the prosecution of those who had been
indicted applied to Governor Fort of
New Jersey to issue requisition on
the Governor of Illinois for Mr.. ].
Ogden Armour, the head of the meat
trust SO that he might be brought back
to New Jersey for trial.
Governor Fort resfused the requisi-
tion, holding that such acquisitions are
issued onlv against persons who are
'fugitives from JUSTICE and that
in order to Issue such acquisitions the
persons for whom they are asked must
have been in the state wherein the
crime was committed, at the time of
the commission of 1t. This seems
rather sound law, but under that con-
struction it will be practically i'm
possible to handle the trusts, as the
officers of those trusts are seldom in
the states where the gravest offences
are committed. The New Jersey in
dictments, however, are looked upon
merely as a bluff, and nobody seriously
expects that any one OF these persons
indicted will ever be tried.

THE RAvlMc.


The following lines have been sug-
gested by the speed and other attend
ing circumstances of the Times Dis
patch Test Tour Cars which passed
through STAUNTON on last Satur-
day, and are respectfully dedicated to
any or all of those "Speeders. =
Once upon a May day dreary,
AS pondered weak and weary,
Over many quaint and curious vol.
ume
OF our city's ancient lore,
Suddenly there came clatter,
Startled, said /, ssWhat's the Natter
Such din, and such clatter,
Rattling loud my chamber door.
''"Tell me, y said Lon the level,
Be this man or be this devil?
'Tell me, - OF this wierd commotion
Whence this clamor and this roar?"
Honk, again and then a sputter,
Throwing mud from out the gutter,
Mud and slime from out the gutter,
Through my window on the floor.
Out upon the street hurried,
Breathless, pale and deeply furried,
By the honking of these creatures,
AS like demons by they tore.
Then the air was nlled with vapors,
And the devils cut such capers,
Cut such strange fantastic capers
As had ne er been cut before.
On they flew with speed Of comet,
Leaving their internal vomit,
Trailing in the air behind them
Like the fumes from Stygian shore,
And the lowering darkness sending,
As of frightful storm impending,
Earth to shake, and Heavens rending,
With it's blaze and awful roar.
But the love of safety filled them.
Had they paused, we sure had killed
them,
Since they shook us SO completely,
Did our being thus ignore.
"Ah, - 1 said in melancholy,
s'To have killed them might be folly.
maybe twas the PRICE they needed.
.'Since SO swiftly by they speeded?
Little care we for the poor. -
With this comforting suggestion,
Settling thus the mooted question
Back went.to my apartments,
And the comforts there galore,
70 the chair from which L bounded
When the hellish honks were sounded
And the poisoned vapors bore
In upon me unlimited.
Sighted, said l, "We've beef
sighted
There sat, and then I swore.

Col. Hale of Maine, son of Senator
Eugene Hale, horsewhipped an editor
few days ago because of something
disrespectful printed about his moth
er. The entire occurrence was singu-
lar. 1t is not customary to use the
whip up there, that is Southern bar
barity. The editor did not shoot. That
would have been entirely TOO South
ern. He simply said he had more
respect for Col. Hale than ever, since
he resented wrongs toward his mother
which must have been out of the ordi
nary up there, or the editor would mo-
have been so much pleased.

ALL LONDON MOURNS
Streets Are Quiet, Business Practi-
cally Suspended.

London, May :. Saturday is usual.
ly the gayest night of the week il
London, but tonight Sabbath like
quiet pervades the city. 1t is a CAPT
tai in mourning. All the theatres and
music halls have closed their doors
the band concerts i'll the parks, which
draw tens of thousands of the work
ing people during long spring twi-
light, are abandoned. The people
wander idly about the streets looking
at the portraits of Edward VII
wreathed in crepe in the shop Win
dows. Multitudes drift into St. James
park, staring at the darkened windows
of Buckingham palace, where the
body of the dead King lies, and Marl-
borough house nearby, through the
gates of which officials aud messen-
gers come and go constantly. Here
the new king has had to set aside his
personal grief to busy himself with
the affairs of crown and family.
Many wear badges of mourning.
Tie whole kingdom, indeed, is ma
tion in mourning. Ireland has for
gotten her political grievances against
her sister isle. The Irish papers
speak kindly, approximately of Ed
ward VII.
