Resuseltation After Hanalna.

Resuscitation after haging, as the
Southwark Coroner remarked, is not
uncommon. In 1705 a housebreaker
named Smith was hung up at Tyburn.
A reprieve came after he had been
suspended for 8 quarter of an hour,
and he was taken down, bled, and re-
vived. One William Duell, duly hang
ed In London in 1740, was taken to
Surgeons Hall to be anatomical, but
came to life again, and was transport
ed. At Cork man hanged in Janu-
ary, 1857, for a street robbery. was i'm
mediately after hurried to surgery,
where an incision was made in his
windpipe, and he recovered and went
to the theater the same evening. And
after Fauntleroy. the banker and for
ger, was executed in 1924, there was
a widespread rumor that he had es-
capped death by the insertion in his
throat of silver tube which prevent
ed strangulation, and that on being re-
stored to consciousness he went
abroad and lived for many years.

Solemn vIsaae Adds Years.

eff a woman is as old as she looks"
then, for goodness sake, don't look
old! This doesn't mean to straight

if you are on the shady side of forty,
nor does it mean to try and look as
simpering and kittenish and coy as
your little sixteen-year-old cousin.
But did you ever stop to realize that
by looking too serious-by looking too
much as if you had all the weight of
the world on your shoulder and its
woes in your Uranium and on your
soul you added ten years to your

said this morning in reply to a ques-
ton, that if the legislature did not
levy the one-mill tax for the free pub
lie schools that he firmly intended to
veto every nickle appropriated for
State colleges Governor Blease said
that he said in his annual message to
the legislature: "'Unless am given

schools, | will veto the appropriations
for the State collegec,, and meant
exactly what I said
The house was in session for only
about thirty minutes, and took up un-
contested matters. The bill providing
for the one-mill levy for the common
schools was taken up, and stands on
the calendar as an interrupted debate
measure. which gives it precedence
ever any other matter. 1t will be
taken up for discussion tonight, and II
it masses to third reading, could pass
tomorrow and be sent to the senate.

Chairman Mayors call for "an ad-

ty of the town of Newberry," to trans
act the business On hand. DR.. o. B.
Mayer presided. In the absence OF
Secretary E. H. Aull, .Jno. w. Ear

Chairman Mayer stated the object Of
the meeting, as per call, namely, for
the purpose of hearing the report Of
the committee appointed at previous
meeting to recommend alterations or
amendments to the charter of the town
of Newberry.'
E. S. Blease. chairman of the stated
committee read the report, which was
adopted as follows:
To the citizens of the town Of New
berry: The committee appointed at
the last meeting of the citizens to con-
slider the matters of providing for a
police commission for the town Of
Newberry, and amending the charter
of the town of Newbery so that the
terms of office cf the mayor and alder
men shall be changed from one year
to two years, respectfully report that
they have aiveh careful consideration
to the question submitted to us and
beg to recommend:
First. That the matter of providing
for police commission be postponed
for the present
Second. That we favor amending
the charter of the town Of Newoerry
to provide that the terms OF Office OF
mavor and aldermen shall be two
years instead of one as at present.
In order to secure the necessary
amendment making the proposed
change in the term OF office OF the
MAYOR and aldermen, we find that 1t IS
necessary for an election to be neld.
This election is ordered by the town
council upon the petition OF the ma
pority Of the free holders of the town.
We recommend that this committee,
with the attorneys for the town, be
authorized to have prepared necessary
petitions to have ordered the election
required, and that the chairman OF the
citizens meeting appoint committee
of one member from each CT the
wards of the town, to secure the sig
natures of the free holders of the town
On said petitions.
Eugene S. Biease,
Chairman.
A motion was adopted requesting
city council to pay expenses OF five
men-to be appointed by the chairman
of the citizens meeting-to secure
signatures Of the free holders OF the
town to the petitions.
The meeting adopted a motion that
the city council have the city clerk
and treasurer's books audited each
year by competent auditor, and that
the auditors report be published in
the newspapers one month prior to
the election of mayor and aldermen.
