To the first guillotining, which took
place in 1892 on the Place de GreVe'
the people of Paris thronged in crowds.
At the swift end of Nicholas Pelletier,
a footpad who had robbed and stabbed
to death a traveller, they clapped
their hands with satisfaction. After
that the guillotine was kept busy.
From August, 1892, to July 1894, q
633 persons were beheadcd, including
334 women.
In recent years the amount of gull
lotining has largely depended on the
personal views of the president, of the
moment. Thirty years ago President
Carnot executed everybody who had
been sentenced to death. Then Pres
ident Fallieres went to the other eX-
treme, being opposed to guillotinins
anybody. This led to an Outcry, In
consequence of which criminals guilty
OF particularly brutal murders es-
capped the penalty. From 1912 the
death machine has worked with reg
ularity.
But there has always been latent
hostility and the Landrl case has
brought it to the surface. In addition

BEE CULTURE GROWS
II Is Now More Than Sideline for
Canada Farmers.


Bee culture is no longer a mere side
lire with Western Canadian farmers
but is a recognized, established phase
of agriculture, says a Winnipeg, Can
ada, dispatch. The financial return is
such that in certain Manitoba settle
rents, including Brokenhead and
Hollywood, honey production has be-
come one of the leading industries
A million pounds of honey was the
output of, this province last year, says
The. annual report OF the apiarists' as
sociation. which shows that a number
of bee keepers produced ten tons of
honey in season, with an average
lof $50 pounds per hive. The bulk of
the output, however, was produced by
small farmers engaged in diversified
farming.
The report shows that there are abou
$4,000 colonies in Manitoba, and that
the apiarists' organization the Mani
! toba Bee Keepers Association, now
| has over 1000 members. Reports t
the association give the names ant
methods of many farmers who have
cleared rs MUCH rs $1,000 a year am
who took up bee keeping either as
hobby or an experiment.

WAR ON GulECOTINE
Death of Landru Awakes Hostility &c
Capital Punishment.

Through the publicity given to the
Landru execution, notice has again
been attracted to the guillotine, and
the Socialist papers, of which there
are a number in Paris. are demand
ing abolition of capital punishment or
that guillotinings take place in the
privacy of prison.
In fact the public Is not admitted
to executions, except when there is
laxity on the part of the local Off
cials, the publicity being due TO the
presence of reporters. 1t is urged
that reporters should not be required
to attend such function as the pub
lie would accept as accurate any
prison governors announcement that
man had been guillotined without
assurance by newspaper men.
In a few weeks the guillotins will
have operated for 1870 years in France.
Before the Revolution condemned
persons were put to death in various
ways. In some cases bones were
broken by blows from an iron bar.
Others were made to die In agony on

capitated with the sword. The ma

Genoa, May 19.-David Lloyd George,
the British premier, in his valedictory
before the final plenary session of the
economic conference today, said the
Genoa weather had been sunny and
gloomy and that sometimes there had
been thunderstorms, but all had ended
today in a blue sky. says the Associ-

SHALL WE HAVE
WET CAMPAIGN p

From Washington comes the re-
port that the liberals in the House
have "joined hands" in a vigorous
campaign to inject the wet and
dry issue into next falls election.
Their hope is to force a vote in the
House and perhaps also in the Sen
ate, on the question of legalizing
light wines and beer. Hill of Mary
land, is to introduce the bill pro-
viding that each congressional dis
trict may have local option next
fall on the manufacture of beer
and wines to be used only in the
homes and taxed at 20 cents a
gallon.
This is not quite the same as
the issue raised in Pennsylvania
where Congressman Burke, candi,,
date for the republican nomination
for senator, came out strongly in
favor of light wine and 2.75 beer
plan.
SIdlo dDsOlutCiy Oii tHC WCI
platform as outlined by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, he said.
In the same connection the an
nouncement was made that replies
received from IT'S Pennsylvania rep
resentatives, legislators and candi-
dates for office showed that 122
were wet, 38 dry and Is doubtful.
Pepper was dry. He had written
statement commencing the Senate
for seating Newberry. He had
declared himself opposed to the
soldiers bonus.
Yet in spite of this he defeated
his opponent Burke by two to
one vote. And Pennsylvania is a
wet state and was never any
thing else before the eighteenth
amendment was passed.
If that happened in Pennsylvania,
confessedly a wet state, what would
be likely to happen in state like
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, the Da-
kotas, Indiana and the many others
that had voted themselves dry be-
fore the federal amendment was
proposed. ?-Goldfield Tribune.
