A sentence, probably unique In this
country, was recently pronounced by
magistrate in Everett, Mass. Two
youngsters Of twelve years had been
convicted of throwing stones, to the
destruction Of property and the peril of
passersby. Just how to deal with such
youthful offenders was a puzzle for
the court for awhile, but after due
thought the Judge hit upon the happy
idea Of turning the youngsters "fun''
into penalty. He ordered a police
sergeant to take the boys back to the
lot where they had been captured and
make them spend half hour in throw.
Ing stones as fast as they could pick
them up. The sergeant obeyed orders
to the letter. and the youngsters got
enough of stone throwing to last them
the rest of their lives.

The Definition OF Legislators
Status
Columbus Dispatch)


Whether a member of the Ohio
house of representatives is a state or
county officer is not known. The
question has never been passed upon
by the courts and there is more or
less difference of opinion about the
matter. The Bronson primary cleo
ton law takes cognizance of this un-
certainty of the status of the repre-
sentative by specially providing that
representatives shall be nominated by
direct primary vote.
In preceding section 1t says that
all candidates for state and district
offices shall be nominated by delegate
conventions, the delegates to which
have been chosen by direct primary,
or by a county convention composed
of delegates chosen by such prim-
airy. Without the special provision
mentioned, assuming representatives
to be state officers, 1t would be posi-
BILE to nominate them by county con-
ventions instead of by direct prim-
ary as will be done under the new
law.
The secretary of state was asked
for a ruling the past week as to
whether a representative is a state or
county officer, the information being
wanted to decide whether the repre-
sentative should be nominated by a
county convention or by a primary.
The secretary pointed out that the
law provided for a primary nomina-
ton and as that was the question at
issue he did not undertake to
representative.

FAMOUS HYMN WRITER
NINETY YEARS OLD

Bridgeport, Conn, March 24.-Fan-
my Crosby, famous as the author OF
nearly 1000 Gospel hymns, received
numerous congratulations today on
the occasion of her ninetieth birth
day. She lives with niece in this

not yet laid aside her pen. When at
the height of her activity she fire.
quently produced twelve or fifteen
hymns in single week. At the sug-
gestlon OF her publishers, who said
they did not want to have the same
name opposite every hymn in their
books, Miss Crosby used during her
long career more than one hundred
noms de plume. For over half cen
tury her hymns have been sung ey-
erywhere In the work of evangelical
tion.
In 1853 Miss Grossly was married
10 Alexander Van Alstyne. who also
was blind He was musician of
ability and set some of his wlfe's best

her work.

tion to her hymns she has written

SUSPECTED OF FOWL MURDERS

Aberdeen, Wash, March 24.-What
promises to develop into one of the
most interesting and notable murder
trials in the history of this section is
scheduled to begin at Montesano to-
morrow, when William Gohl is brought
into court to answer to the charge of
numbering Charles Hedberg. The vic
tim was a sailor and is alleged to have
been murdered for the purpose of rob-
berry. For a number of years Golh has
been well known in the Puget Sound
district as a sort of an agent in hiring
ships crews. During this time there
hP We been reported several murders
of sailors after they had been paid

evidence of murder and robbery, was
found washed ashore. The body of
John Hoffman, who disappeared about
the same time as Hedberg, has never
beeen found His remains and those
of other victims as well are believed

The arrest of Gohl resulted from
tales he told while under the influence
of liquor. He is alleged to have boast
ed of numerous murders and other
crimes and to have displayed consid-
cradle sums of money, the source of
which he was unable to explain salts
fastorily to the authorities when ar
rested One of the sensational stories
told of Gohl since the charge of mur-
der was made against him is that on
one occasion two sailors who had just
been paid off were robbed by him and
left to die In most heartless manner.
According to the tale, the two men,
after being piled with liquor and re-
lieved of their money, were taken by
Gohl in his boat and marooned on a
sandbar, the alleged murderer rowing
to shore and leaving the men to fall
victims to the rising tide.

of labor agitation.
The year 1894 brought the greatest
railroad strike the country has ever
known. The strike was begun by the
employees of the Pullman car works
on June "a. A few weeks later the
American Railway Union ordered a
sympathetic strike by the railroad
employees throughout the west The
struggle caused much rioting in Chi
cago, in California and other places.
President Cleveland ordered out the
United States troops to suppress the
disorder. In the end the strikers
were disastrously defeated. Three

GREAT
Railroad Strikes In The HiStO-
ry Of The Country

Washington, D. c., March 23.-
Should the threatened railroads strike
in the West become reality it would
probably develop into the greatest
railroad strike in America According
to the estimates of the railroad ofIic-
ials nearly fifty roads, with an aggre-
gate mileage of 100000, miles would
become involved. More than 100000
men would be thrown out Of employ
ment and the cost to the country
would probably exceed s100,000,O00.
A review of the great railroad strilk-
es of history is not without interest at
this time. The first great railroad
strike in the United States began at
Martinsburg, W. Va, on July 16, 1877,
when the locomotive firemen went out
on the Baltimore e. Ohio road. With
in week the strike had spread to the
Pennsylvania, Erie, Lake Shore, Pitts
burg, Ft. Wayne &c Chicago, Cincin-
natl e st. Louis, Vandalia, Ohio and
Mississippi, C. c. G. and l., Erie and
Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Erie, Chi
cago & Alton, Canada and Southern,
and other minor lines. Numerous liv-
es were lost in Martinsburg, Balti-
more, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and 9TH
er cities. The cost of the strike to
the Pennsylvania Railroad alone was
not less than $5,OOO,OO0.
The year 1886 saw the famous
Gould strike on the Southwestern
Railroad system. In this strike the
terrific conditions of 1877 were re-
created on large scale. The strike,
which was directed by the knights of
Labor, lasted nearly two months. 1t
resulted in a defeat for the men, who
lost nearly $15,O00,O0O in wages.
The famous Reading strike, as it
was called, began on the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad on Dec. 20, 1887,
when 5000 employees of the company
were called away frfom their work by
the Knights of Labor. More than
10000 men became involved. The
strikers failed to gain the issue they
fought, namely, the recognition of the
Knights of Labor. The cost of the
struggle was estimated at $5,0O0,OOO
Other railroad strikes of the next
five years were those of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers on the
Burlington system, in 1888, the New
York Central strike of 1890, and the
strikes of the Little Toledo, Ann Har-
Dor and North Michigan Railroad and
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, both of
which occurred in 1898. 1t was in the
Ann Harbor strike that Judge (now
presidenD Taft gave his famous de-
cision ordering Chief Arthur of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
to promulgate an order that the by,
laws of the Brotherhood requiring
members to refuse to handle cars of
boycotted non-union line was not in
force. The Taft decision on this oc-
