From Samson to Deibler
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Deaer)
 Henri Anatole Deibler liked the quiet life He loved to butter about the yard of his little villa at St. Cloud. He took great delight in keeping the in his window boxes trimmed He played with turtles in the pool But he never very communicative. He kept the shutters closed his windows He seldom went out
 He took life seriously and there was reason why he should, for he was married to Madame de Paris, the old lady with sharp tongue He was known to the public Monsieur de Paris and whenever he ap- peared in public with madame it meant that someone was going to lose his head Madame" is the the French give the guilotine and monsieur" the official executoner of France. He is dead now-from natural causes-at 76.
 Deibler the last of long line of executioners. The family back in Bavaria, had been official heads men. They came to France to take up the work so dramatically started by the first Monsieur de Paris Charles Henri Samson. Samson had flair for the dramatic He very busy during his tenure of office from 788 to 1795 for those years encompass the of terror during the French Revolution
 Sanson's son, Henri, carried on the work until his Obrecht Deiber's nephew will become official exc cutoner
 In most of Europe the office of executioner is hereditary. It is task that does not follow for few years and then go back to selling groceries or insurance. Naturally, there odum connected with the office in past years But old Deiber took philosophic view of his profession After all he said T am disciplined government employe citizen who does his duty like the rest, in accordance with his station"

Grand 1slandn he was between the island and class

Grand Island" he was between the Island and Glass Peninsula,
 A wind which was reported three hours later as attaining velocity high 62 miles per hour was of certainty blasting down Taku Inlet with great strength at the time Cope was in the sector Coming down the inlet from east to west the wind would have tended to blow Cope the land area around Point Arden It is not illogical to presume that it in this he went down
 That Cope was following the Glass Peninsula side further borne out by study of the then prevailing flying conditions Wind the Taku Inlet side would cause down-draft whereas on the opposite side of Stephens passage an up-draft would be created The pilot would naturally ride the up-draft
 But if the plane landed the hillside, how has it escaped the surveillance of three planes which cruised the section for 10 days of three large water craft and numerous small gasboats whose occupants watched through binoculars for two weeks for any sign of broken trees the terrain and lastly of 10 different land parties covering the systematically with total force of some 100 men?
 Perhaps this scrutiny missed the clue and perhaps deep snow which the higher reaches still har bors the secret.
 On the other hand if the plane crashed into the water why has not remnant floated up to the shorelne surface?
 It hardly seems probable that the impact would not nave torn OH wing pontooh, or otner piece or the ship.
 It hardly seems probable but there are cases on record of plane diving into the water at high speed and disappearing completely with no trace dis covered This has happened within sight of watchers and the scene few minutes later they were unable to discern any indication that at the spot an airplane plowed into the depths.
 Wherever the plane may be and whatever the fate of it's six occupants the sympathy of concerned community goes out to those and the miss ing men. Theirs has been burden of anxious trial
 Death, if it came to these six men, must have been quick and merciful. To the families and wives left behind fell the lot of strained waiting fraught with hope and despair.
 But for them there is perhaps compensation in the knowledge that each passing day dminishes hope it also brings closer the surcease from sorrow which time always brings.

 The stars Incline
 but do not compel"
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2s, 1889

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1889
 This is not an important day in planetary direction, according to as- trology. The morning may bring mental unrest and lethargy.
 AS the month ends women come under most promising direction of the stars. They should exert their best energies while the rule pre- vails. It is especially fortunate for shopping and entertaining.
 This should be a lucky wedding day in which love promises to rule While sudden fortune is not pre- saged there should be steady pro- gress toward prosperity. N
 Artists of many callings should profit in coming months when their talents will be required for special work. Painters, actors and musicians have the forecast of remunerative employment
 Through the spring the seers de- clare that evil portents will affect Germany. Discomfort regarding eco- homie conditions is presaged and Czechoslovakia may be the scene of new troubles. 2
 Gossip will be increasingly preva- lent and rumors will fill the air as March advances. Speech should be curtailed and personalities should be avoided. Men and women in the public eye are to be assailed by un- kindly comment which may cause serious results.
 Jupiter is in a position most favor able for Mexico, where efforts to meet demands for Compensation for alien-owned property may be met wisely M
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of happiness. The young will be immersed in TO- mances and the old in financial af- fairs.
 Children born on this day may be highly temperamental and exceed ingly talented. These subjects of Pisces may have many interests that cause concentration to be difficult.

Eagle Over the Bronx
(Philadelphia Record)

You could have knocked the two Bronx policemen right out Of their squad the other day when they saw huge golden eagle very rare, rising from the municipal golf links. They rushed to headquarters and made report but the matter is not progressing satisfactorily It the eagle killing small birds but the law forbids shooting at golden eagles maybe because that would be unpatriotc, like firing at the flag. An SEGA. official summoned into conference went out with binoculars and also saw the bird but didn't Know what to do. They muttering some thing about setting traps just keep their spirits up
 We would recommend arnlistce It seems to us the golden eagle must be just puzzled over what to do about New York New York is puzzled over what to do about the eagle He must be contempla- tive and philosophical eagle to live so near town when he could wheel and make the Catskills in an hours flying time. It very possibly be an eagles sense of duty that keeps him there wondering what steps he ought to take regarding the metropolis In world full Of wonderful mountains and streams he sees mil lions of human beings sleeping in artificial cliffs jam ming themselves into subways enduring all unnatural strains and he can't figure out why Also sees them tearing around the golf course swattng little white ball, sight which is enough to upset any eagles reason.
 We think both sides ought to refrain from hostili- ties just giving each other modest salute two fingers up or wing dip, as they pass each other by.
