wears current coins of the United
States, on his person with his mono
gram or any mystic sign indicating
that he has been through the thirty
steenth degree of some fraternal or
ganization, would better dodge into
an alley, climb a telegraph pole or
ders at his family drug store. If he
doesn't it is probable that before long
the federal authorities will grab him
and take away the coin.
If the wearer is guilty of mutilation
of the coin, the arresting officer will
be compelled to hold him under ar
rest until he hears from Washing
ton.
The order has gone out from the
Washington treasury that coins of

in any way, and that when they are
mutilated the one guilty of the mutil-
alton, and the wearer of the coin
are to be punished by the govern

The Oklahoma City officers say
that jewellers are the worse offenders,
and that the new order relates to
them. They have been warned time

SEVEN DAY COUNT
Some Interesting information About
the Amount of Work and Mass
Of Mail Handled.


The recent ~seven-day count OF mail
in the Railway Postal Service as or
.dered by the Depar ment required the
services of all the railway postal
clerks. This $ the second count in
the history OF the Railway Mail Ser
vice. The frs count gave an average
OF 40 1etters to a package and 10 Of
second, third and %fourth-class matter
to a sack.
The counl on Baltimore and Ohio
train 10. 6 for two days showed 30
90 letters and 20.492 papers the first
day and 31,045 letters and 1879 pa
pers the second day, or an average OF
80 letters to a package and 81 papers
to a sack. The lower average is due
to finer distribution. More gepara-
tons are made now.
There is considerable guessing on
the part of the clerks to know why the
count was ordered. This count put
the cltrks 10 an expense Of about
SIS, 900.
There are $4,000 railway postal
clerks. $500 postal airs 35S,571
pouches for first-class mail and 1926
258 sacks for second, third and fourth
class mail. 10000, 900 registered pieces

CRIPpEN HANGED
Hanging of Condemned Man Witness
ed BY Only Small Group of
Prison Officials.

L0ndan, England, Nov. % (9:35
London time)-Dr. Harvey Hawley
Crippen was hanged at 9;02 o'clock
this morning, for the murder of his
wife, Belle Gilmore.
Preparations had been made within
the gloomy walls of Pentonville Pris-
on, which stands in one of the most
dismal sections of London.
Public Executioner Ellis, of Roch-
dale. who hanged a wife murderer at
Liverpool arrived in London on the
evening train. The scaffold was erect
cd yesterday. A few t%enen2ents over
look the prison yard and to bar the
tenants from a q impse of the tragedy
a big canvas screen has been put up
before the gallows.
Only a small group Of official wit
nesses attended and every effort had
been made to prevent morbid crowds
from gathering in the neighbortocd.
The body was buried in quicklime
in the prison yard. This is the custom
at Pentonyfle, although not in all
English prisons.
Father Carey, who has visited Grip
pen frequently, entered the prison at
G O'Clock last evening and spent the
night with the condemned a He
walked with Crippen to the scaffold.
An evening paper caused a sensa-
ton by flooding the city with placards
that Crippen had made a written con-
f~ession. Every one in a position to
know denied this. Ethe Leneye said:
Il was the last person to see DR..
Crippen. So far as my knowledge ex-
tends he has not made such a state
ment."
1t was also reported that Crippen
wrote a statement for a Sunday paper,
which bought a previous sorry of his.
The paper, however. denies that it has
his confession.
Miss Leneve had a farewell inter
view with Crippen yesterday. Crippen
has bequeathed to her all his posses
sions. The condemned man is appar-
entity resigned to his fate. He reads
considerably, especially devotional
books. and receives with apparent sin.
cerity the ministrations of Father
Carey.
The Daily Mail says that Miss Lee
neve will sail for New York on the
steamer Majestic under the pseudonym
of Allen today.

INTERESTING CASE.
Argued and Settled Yesterday at
Berkeley Springs.

Berkeley Springs, Nov. 22.-The big
gest case before a magistrate heard
in this county was on trial yesterday
afternoon before Squire p. J.. Cough
ian and a jury of six citizens of this
county, with Attorney Allen B. Noll,
of Martinsburg, for the plaintiff, Mrs.
Mary Staufer Russell, and Clarence E.
Martin, also of Martinsburg, for the
defendant, Mr.. George w. Newell.
Considerable time was consumed in
the selection of a jury, after which
quite a legal battle took place between
the opposing counsels.
Mrs. Russell is suing Mr.. Newell for
$500 services, rendered since the
death of Mrs. Newell, wife of the de-
PENDANT, which occurred about one
year ago.
Tie case was submitted TO the jury
without argument and at Z o'clock the
jury rendered a verdict for the plain
tiff for $3.50, and her costs expended in
the prosecution of the suit.

Director Meredith has been ener-

ISOLATION represented this year by a
quint that will give a good account of
itself before the season is over, and
has interviewed nearly all the cd play

hard proposition to get them out for
practice.
Some of the star players of the past
two years will not be seen in the game
as THEN duties prevent them from do
ing so. while others are away from the
city. Thus it has been an uphill prop
osition for Mr.. Meredith to get a
strong quint together or enough of the

do with them. He says here are plen-
