RELIEF In CONIURlNG.

Several days ago a tcrror-StrIcEen

the doctors to remove frog from his

examined him, but none could find
anything wrong. The darby went
about from pillar to post maintaining
that he was nurturing toad within his

A HARSH SENTENCE.

In the Circuit Court in Suffolk, Va,
Yesterday Edgar b. Browncll, an
educated young white man OF Brooklyn.
N. y, pleaded guilty to forging !. ,ele.
gram for SO and was sentenced to
serve live years imprisonment. When
the verdict WAS announced Browneii
fell out Of his chair in dead faint.
The circumstances are somewhat
peculiar and distressing. Brownells
funds were exhausted and SO remit
lance, received al the Suffolk po>tollica,
was stolen by 4 siytcen-ycar-old boy,
acting rs = janitor. Browneli called
time and again for his letter, and be-
coming desperate by not receiving IT,,
forged a telegram and got 50 by wire.
The youth who stole the yo1ng mans
remittance has placed double load
upon his conscience, if he has such an
instinct. The acts and The examples OF
men bring forth an abundant harvest,
not only in the private lives Of erildocrs
but they so often place stumbling blocks
in the paths OF Others whose natural
bent is not to go astray. The case
cited above is one which will probably
appeal TO executive clemenry should it
be shown that tho unfortunate young
man has never befor been guilty Of an
overt act
