KAVANAUCH
 GUN SPIKED
PULASKI RING IS ROUTED
BACKS DOWN WHEN GOVERNOR CHALLENGES ANOTHER
 JOINT DEBATE.

Little Rock, Feb. 23.-Instead of Gov. Donaghey refusing to meet c. C. Kavanaugh, his opponent, the gover- nor is now endeavoring to bring about a daily meeting between the two can didates. He wants to repeat the dose he gave to Kavanaugh at Magnolia, on every stump of the state, and for ever silence the opposition which Gov ernor Donaghey alleges is fighting him solely because he cannot be con- trolled by the Little Rock ring.
 Persons who attended the speaking at Magnolia state there was never room for doubt as to the sentiment of the gathering, the cheering for Gov. Donaghey beginning soon after he be- gun his speech, and continuing until the close, when he took his seat in frenzied uproar of approval. C. C. Kavanaugh followed and only once during his speech drew applause, that being when he said he favored bull yearlings getting rid of the ticks by rubbing up against black jack sap ling than to spend $10,0 900 upon them for that purpose At the close of his speech he was applauded by few, but it was nothing like the spontaneous outburst of applause given Governor Donaghey. When Governor Donaghey began his rejoinder the applause was resumed, and it was deafening from that time until the close. When the speaker was over, many farmers came to the front and grasped the hand of the governor, but his opponent was al lowed to go from the hall It was re- marked at the time he was probably glad to be able to get away without further grlling, after the merciless onslaught hurled at him by Governor Donaghey, which he was powerless to refute.
 The Magnolia speech made by Gov ernor Donaghey was a powerful argu- ment, and his less experienced adver- sary was swept from his feet by the whirlwind of facts hurled at him by the governor When invited to con-

After the trimming he received Monday, Kava naugh forgot these boasts, and decid ed he had better stick alone to his schedule.

LONGEVITY of Birds.

An instance was recorded in Ger
man paper recently of the shooting of
a crow with a ring on its leg bearing
a date of over 100 years ago. In the
same week a resident in one of the
English counties wrote to the ornith'
illogical press putting on record the
coming of age of his skylark. That
letter brought to light the fact that II
twenty-one years is not exactly COM
mon age for lark, it is by no means
an unique one. The writer has owned
canaries that exceeded the twenty
one years of the skylark, and one bull
finch he possessed reached the age OF
sixteen years. Exhibition or fancy"
bred birds, on the other hand, are
comparatively shortlived, and the va
riety known as the Scotch Fancy"
the canary with the half-moon shaped
body, is decrepit when two or three
years old, and is becoming extinct.

DOCTOR CRIPPEN PAYS The
PENALTY OF HIS CRIME
the Court Yard of Lon
don Prison.

London.-Dr. Hawley H Crippen,
who killed his wife, Belle Elmore
Crippen, tine American music hall
singer, paio the penalty for his
crime on the gallows at $50 o'clock
Wednesday morning within the
gloomy walls of Pentonville prison.
The official hangman of Eng
land pulled the trap that sent Grip
pen into eternity. The prisoner, to all
outward appearances, seemed resigned
to his fate and walked bravely to his
doom. Eighteen minutes after the trap
fell the jury of four physicians pro-
nounced him dead. His neck had been
broken.
1t was in Philadelphia that DR.. Har-
vey Hawley Crippen, widower, met
the prepossessing music hall singer,
Cora Makomeski of Brooklyn, N. Y,
known to the public as Belle Gilmore,
and pressed his suit to such advantage
that they were married.
In 1905 the doctor and his bride
moved to England, where he took a
house at SO Hilldrop crescent, North
London. They continued to live at
the Hilldrop crescent residence until
the advent of Miss Ethel Clare LIE
Neve, who was employed as the doc
tors stenographer early in the year
of 1908.
The doctors friendship for Miss
Lo Neve aroused the suspicious Of
his wife. Numerous quarrels are re-
ported by the neighbors, increasing
in frequency and violence until Febru-
airy, 1910, when Belle EImore mysteri-
ously disappeared.
The doctor early in February ad-
vertised his wife's death in American
theatrical papers as taking place in
London, while he told the former
actress many London friends that she
had passed away while on a visit to
the west, trusting to public indiffer-
ence to hide the falsehood.

Among the few passengers were Rev.

stateroom with his father Rev. Mr..
Robinson was a very reticent cleric.
The prisoners were taken back to
England, where they were brought to
trial in the Old Bailey court, Crippen
charged with the murder and Ethel
Glare LIE Neve as an accessory after
the fact.
His companion, Miss LIE Neve, was
exonerated of completely in the crime
and allowed to go free.

Learning that his retreat had been
discovered, he insisted upon proceed
ing on his journey to the Caucasus,
where he hoped to spend his last days
close to the Tolstoian colony on the
shores of the Black Sea-
But during the railroad journey he
was overcome with exhaustion and
the cold, and Doctor Makovetsky was
compelled to have him transferred to
the flag station at Astapova, where
he was made as comfortable as pos
sible in the rude wooden building.
For FIVE days he had lain there suf-
fering first from bronchitis and later
from Inflammation of the lungs. Spe-
cialists were called from Moscow and
other places, but notwithstanding
their utmost efforts, the heart of the
great Russian responded but feebly

Count Lyof Nikolaivitch Tolstoi.
usually called Count Leo Tolstoi, nov
elist and social reformer, was born
August %, 1928, at Yasnaya Poliana,
In the province of Tula, Russia.
When twenty-three years old Toll
stoi entered the army and served in
the Caucasus and in the defense of
Sevastopol against the British and
French allied forces. He FIRST made
a reputation in literature by series
of vivid sketches written from Sc
vastopol. and when he left the army,
soon after the Crimean war, he de-
voted himself entirely to literature.
Tolstoi several times was threat
ened with expulsion from Russia, and
several times, according to report,
was upon the point of being exiled;
but he seemed on the whole to have
been treated with unusual leniency,
in view of his strongly pronounced
views, especially as set forth in a
manifesto entitled THE Peoples
Rights" his criticisms of imperial
acts and his open letters to the en-
peror. He was, however, expelled
from Moscow in July, 1901, and since
had resided at Yasnaya Poiiana.

DEATH COMES TO COUNT
TOLST0I AT ASTAP0vA

Comes-StIl Under Ban
of Church.

Astopova.- by his wife,
children, Doctor Makovetsky and the
other attending physicians, Count Leo
Tolstoi passed away peacefully in the

Efforts of the church to gather the

yielded.
Several of the physicians were
greatly overcome by the approaching
death of Russia's great writer.
His heart beat its last apparently
without a clear moment to enable
him to say farewell or cast forgiv-
ing look upon his wife and children.
Tolstoi, accompanied only by Doctor
Makovetsky, left his home at Yasnaya
Poliana for the purpose of ending his
days in solitude, to which he more
and more inclined during his later
years. His pilgrimage led him to

Dancer of Draughts.

That the so-called draught is only
q concentrated dose of fresh air, and
that millions suffer for want of fresh
air, certainly represent profound
truths. Nevertheless they leave us
unimpressed for much the same state
ments might be said of so many other
things.
Lead, for instance, when distrib-
uted through the substance Of india
rubber gloves is as useful to X-ray
workers as fresh air to ordinary in
dividuals; but when concentrated in
the form of a bullet, exposure to its
impact is apt to prove inconvenient!
But however these things be, we adj
here to our belief that draughts are
dangerous.
Il is not commonly understood that
the draught is merely the primum
movens, the immediate cause Of the
ill results experienced being in some
cases perhaps a micro-organism, in
others perhaps a toxin, with which
the system would have been able to
deal effectively but for the local de-
preston of vitality brought about by
exposure to a concentrated dose OF
fresh air

RAID STOCK FIRMS.
Burr Brothers and Continental Wire
less Heads Arrested.

New York.-Postmaster General
Hitchcock took personal charge OF
raids on two concerns C-arged with
using tn mails to defraud the
public out of over $40,000,000 by
selling stock on tie promise OF
enormous dividends The offices
raided were those of Burr Brothers,
Inc, and the Continental Wireless
Telegraph and Telephone company.
Sheldon H. Burr, president of Burr
Brothers; Eugene H. Burr, secretary
and treasurer of the firm, and Frank
Fl. Tobey, its vice-president, were ar
rested in the first raid and held in
charges that the firm sold between
S40,000,000 and $50,000,000 of mining
and oil stock worth little or nothing.
Charles L. Vaughan, director oil
the Continental Wireless Telegraph &
Telephone company, incorporated II
Arizona, was taken in the second raid
and held in $4,000 bail Inspectors
say his company has sold stock to the
amount of at least $1,000,000 which
has brought in no return to the in
vestors. Vaughan is treasurer of the
Columbia Finance company, which
acts as fiscal agent for the Continen-
tai company.
Both raids are further evidence that
the government means business and
no longer will be content with issuing
fraud orders denying them the use OF
the mails, but will press for convic'
tons on criminal charges.
Postmaster General Hitchcock esti-
mates that the public has been
feeced out of at least $100,000,000 by
get-rich-quick concerns in the last
five years, but says their hey-day has
gone, and said that other arrests, in
volving corporations that have sought
investors the length and breadth OF
the country are expected shortly.

GIVEN CHANCE TO REFORM
Colony of Mercy" In New Jersey Re-
stores "Down-and-Outers to
Self-Respect.

Where the lost find themselves
where the outcasts Of q great city are
restored to self-respect-thisd describes
the Keswich Colony of Mercy at
Keswick Grove, N. ]. More than
that, now, it has become monument
to the nobility and self-sacrifice of
the late William Raws. who founded it.
thirteen years ago and who gave his
life to its success.
Here is one place where the down
and outs" are made welcome, says
the Philadelphia North American;
Here is a beautiful spot in the Jer-
sey pines they are privileged to call
home.
Seven miles from a saloon, in a
country that nature has done her best
to adorn, the atmosphere of the col
ony is the very opposite Of that of a
hustling, bustling city, which has no
room for those who cannot take care
of themselves. That is why it has al,
ready saved 5000 souls. Worthless
aoafers, hardened slaves to drink and
dissipation, find not only physical
strength, but moral incentive. They
learn to like healthIul work, they
grow to love the little chapel in which
they worship thrice a day. Before
they realize it, they have been regen
Grated.
Natural remedies are always better
than medicine, as modern doctors now
agree. So it is that the cures wrought
at this colony are permanent. Those
1t saves have learned to be grateful
for a relief from bondage that amount
ed to living death.
All the buildings in the eight hum
dred acres that are the colony's were
erected by the men who followed the
example of Mr.. Raws and saved them,
selves. Even more. the farming and
the industrial work that keep the
colonists busy may soon make the in
stitntion self-supporting.
There is just one ironclad rule that
will exclude any man who is anxious
to reform. If he is ever caught swear
ing he must leave the place forever.
