his tail end suuawks; pigs squeal

The site for the presidents

have the Presidents house and the
capitol reciprocally close 70 the
long vista formed by Pennsyl-

out a park like connection between

slides in that section. An incident
is recalled in connection with the
slides in Marshall and Virginius
Basins, which killed about forty
men during the winter of 1884.
A slide at the Virginius mine
swept down over the bunk house
and mine buildings, emtombine and
killing many men. Among them
were two men who had made a bet

"Yes. Jim; I'm pinned in by

Words of encouragement were

Withdrawing his hand, he
managed to reach a pocket in
which he had $40 gold piece, and
passed it up into the stovepipe.

NEVADEs NEW IDEA

Inc st. Louis Times IN al
editorial believes that Nevads
after all may be on the right track
in its methods of administering
the death penalty. In commenting
upon the subject it says:
Nevada has struck new note
in the symphony pathetique" OF
human ills by evolving men who
have heen condemned to death.
The plan suggested in Ne
vada is that men who face the
gailows be giving the privilege OF
dyirg in some othre fashion. 1t is
planned to give to men in such
predicaments'a deadly poison, and
insure them an opportunity to
take it. If. after a stated time,
the prisoner hash OF shuffled the
mortal coil by theaid of the drug
placed in his possession the moose
may then be adjusted.
The terrors of death by hanging
are probably. the terrors, of anti
cipation. Experts say that the
actual experience is usually not
extremely painful. 1t is like the
pulling of tooth-the end,
reached almost simultaneously Nth
he beginning.
But the days and nights OF
waiting are equivalent perhaps, tc
many deaths, whereas the law has
exacted but one death.
The theory that the law Furnishes
is an obsolescent one. and will be
quite abandoned when a higher
condition of kindness and intelli,
gence prevails. The law may have
right to say that man may moi
live; but it requires a wholly
sinister kind of logic to show that
the law or any other earthly
power has a right to make any
human being suffer. Suffering
may sometimes be inevitable but
that should be because 1t cannot
be eliminated.
The man who is imprisoned
should be given the best possible
opportunity to work out his moral
salvation. The man who must be
put to death conceding that the
thing is ever right or necessary
should be killed mercifully.
The Nevada idea may be a ster
in the right direction. Though
unless the prisoner may be made
to believe that he has received the
fatal draught surreptiously it il
likely, after all, that he might look
forward with equal terror to the
hemlock and to the moose"

MILLIONS OF STARVING
PEOPLE IN CHINA

Famine and plague are sweeping
China. Known deaths number 30
900, and according to official
figures the death rate averages a
hundred daily.
Officials have little knowledge of
the condition in the interior or
they are not PERMITTING the facts
to be known. 1t is possible to
estimate the number of deaths that
have resulted from lack of food.
Dr.. Samuel Cochran, an Ameri-
can engaged in the work of relief,
writes as follows:
Zone million people will die
before the first crop is harvested.
This will be scanty because the
people have not enough strength to
till the soil and no animals remain
for plowIng."
Japanese and Russians have
offered assistance but only in a few
places has the offer been accepted,
the Chinese not liking to receive
favors from foreigners whose
political motives they distrust.
Physicians combating the disease
believe warm weather will kill the
germs although it may bring only
temporary respite. The plague
is of the bubonic type and summer
heat would serve to augment the
scourge.
Pneumonia and typhoid trans
mitted through the Respiratory
apparatus Chinese emerge from
their winer quarters to open air.
Medical authorities say such
an epidemic as at present, which
is entirely pneumoniac, has not
visited the world since the middle
ages. Owing to the political
question involved by the presen
If foreigners along the railroads
the plague in Manchuria is receiv-
ing greater attention than the
famine, but the death rate by
famine is many times greater than
that by the plague.
The famine will result in the
destruction of crops, as only a six
teenth of an inch of rain III two
days fell last August in the district
where the people ordinarily lead a
hand to mouth existence AS soon
as the first pangs of hunger we're
felt people left their homes, but
many we're unable TO get by the
border and returned and took up
the death struggle beside their
homcsteads.
1t is estimated that 1000, 900
people without food are existing
on roots, grasses and anything that
affords the slightest nourishment.
Relief has come from foreigers
