Another Current Given. He said he felt no pulsation, Lut suggested that the current be turned on for a few seconds again. Once more the body became rigid. At 7:15 the current was turned off tor good. From the time Czolgosz had left his cell until the full penalty was paid, less than four minutes had elapsed. The physicians present used the stethoscope and other tests to deter mine if any life remained and at 7:17 the warden, raising his hand, an nounced: “Gentlemen, the prisoner Is dead!” The witnesses filed from the cham ber, many of them visibly affected, and the body was taken from the chair and laid on the operating table ‘When the body of Czolgosz had beer removed from the room where he was executed to the autopsy table, Auburn prison returned to-the routine of its ordinary life.

All has been done In a dignified way, and the greatest credit is due to Warden Meade for the care he has taken to strip the case of sensationalism. i Executioner Explains. Electrician Davis made this state- ment as to the execution: “[ used 1,700 yolts of electricity, turning it Into the body at full yoltage tor sgveral seconds, and then slowly reducing {t for 45 seconds. Then I threw the full voltage on again for ' eight seconds. Then, at the suggestion of Dr. MacDonald, I turned it on agaln for a few seconds. I did not think there was any necessity for a third contact, and the lack of resistance shown when it was administered | proved that life was extinct. The body showed elght amperes of resistance. That is a little moro than would -be ‘given by a larger or stouter man “Where tho current could have more chance to percolate. It was as suc- cessful an execution as I have ever op- erated at in all my expetienco.” Autopsy Reveals Sanity. | Naturally, almost the entire atten- tion of tho physicians assigned to hold the autopsy was directed«towards dis- covering if possible whether the es- sassin was In any way mentally Irro- Isponsible.

Czolgosz, the murderer of President McKinley, paid the life penalty for bis crime in the electric chair at the Au- burn, N. ¥., state prison. ‘The prisoner made a brief speech in the chair, He sald he was not sorry for what he had done, but expressed regret that he had not seen his father. ‘The prisoner was given threo con: tacts of electricity before he was unal ly pronounced dead. He died unconfessed and unrepent ant, spurning the offices of the priests and cursing them. He maintained his stolidity to the last, and there Were no signs of phy: sical collapse. His action was nol that of bravado, nor that which springs from physical courage; 1t was simply the stolidity which is born of indif ference. Of all the men who have sat in the death chair its terrors seemed to have had the least effect on Czolgosz. Halt an hour before execution the prisoner sent for the superintenden! and warden and said: “I want to make a statement before you kill me.” ~ “What do you wish to say, Czol gosz?”-asked the warden. “I want to make it when there are a lot of people present. I want them to hear me," sa,. the prisoner. “Well, you cannot,” said the super Intendent. “shen I won't talk at all,” sald the prisoner culleniy. - He changed his resolution, however, and did break the rule of silence in the death chamber. As the assassin was being seated he looked about at the assembled wit- nesses with quito a steady stare and sald: “[ Killed the president because he was an enemy of the good people—of the working people.” His voice trembled slightly at first, but gained strength with each word and he spoke perfect English. “[ am sorry for my crime,” he said, Ioudly, just as tho guard pushed his head back on the rubber head rest and drew thé strap across his fore- head and chin. As the pressures on the strap tightened and bound the jaw tightly he mumbied: . “I am’ awful sorry I could not see my father.” It was just exactly 7:11 o'clock when he crossed the threshold, but 2 minute had elapsed and he had just fintshed the-last statement when the strapping was completed &nd the guards stepped back. : 1,700 Volts Turned On. ‘Warden Meade raised his hand al 7:12:30 and Electrician Davis turned the switch ‘that threw 1,700 volts o electricity Into the body, The rush of the current threw thc “body so hard against the straps that they creaked perceptibly. ° The hands clinched suddenly and the whole attitude was one of extreme tenseness. k For 45 seconds the full current wa: kept on and then slowly the electri clan threw the switch back, reducins tho ‘current volt by volt until’ it wa: cut off entirely. ‘Then just as if had reached tha - point he threw the lever back agair Se. flat ge ee 1 le a WD bee de ee Se ee ee 7 Legislative eee Brevities | ee~2e°.3 0.309 0.30 30.3)! Benate Monday morning was a& joint resolution from Senator Bell of the 39th district providing for the appoint- ment of a committee to frame and re- port any amendments ‘t may deem necessary to the state constitution. The commission {s to consist of five members of the senate and ten from the house. Senator Bell asked that the resolu- tlon Ite on the table for a day. It adopted the regolution will supple- ment the Dill presented last year by Senator Ellis of the twenty-second, providing for a constitutfonal conyen- ton. - | A number of new bills were intro- duced and read the first time. ‘A message from the governor was received, It contained a list of ap- polntments which the governor had Just completed making out, A flood of new bills, notable among which was ene by Gary, of Hichmond, providing that money for rebullding the Solaiers’ Home be imnfediately ap- propriated—two or three seeking to get that Ide public property fund Into use, one providing for blennial instead of annual sessions of the general as- sembly—one providing that fertilizers held by consumers be exempt from tax- ation, one seeking to make the prose- cution of business or pleasure on Sun- day # crime, and a new child Iabor bill —was tho chief features of Monday's seasion of the house. The child labor bill was introduced and bids fair to be one of the celebra- ted menaures of the session. It pro- qides, among other things, that “from ‘and after January, 1902, no chid under the age of 12 years shall be employed at labor in or about any factory or manufacturing establishment within this state, unless a widowed mother or totally disabled father 1s dependent upon the labor of such child and has no other means of support. No child under the age of 10 years ahall be employed under any circumstances. ‘The house, under a resolution by Hall, of Bibb, agreed to convene here- after at 9 instead of 10 o'clock each day. ‘ In response to a request the Daugh: ters of the Confederacy were granted space in the capitol in which to store thelr records. 5 This and the passage of a couple of local bills constituted the work of the lower house for the day. On Tuesday, November 19, an elec- tion will be held in Fulton county to fill the vacancy in the general asscen- bly occasioned by the death of Hon. Porter King. The election returns will be filed In the office of the secretary of state and will, according to law, re- main there five days before the mem- ber-elect can be sworn in as a mem- ber of the house. It will require 25 *days for the“election and qualification ‘of a new member and the new mem: ber will have then about 20 days to serve in the present session. Since his term will expire a year hence he will have but a shore-time of service in case of no reelection. » ‘The general judiciary committee of the house held its first meeting Mon. Gay afternoon, and after brief discus- sion decided to report back to tke house with recommendation that it do pass, the bill by Mr. Wright, of Floyd, mekfng It a misdemeanor to charge more than 25 per cent interest per an- num In Georgia on any loans what ever. It is stated this measure Is almed at the petty loan brokers who do business in every clty and town of the state and who loan small sums, principally to negroes, and charge sthem anywhere from 10 to 40 per cent a month. The passage of this bill would limit their charge to about 2 per cent per month and would no doubt put many‘of them out of busi- ness. William Schley Howard's franchise bill, set for special order Tuesday, was taken up in the house and put on its third reading, This bill, with which the public is pretty generally familiar, proyides, to state its provis- fons in a word, that all franchises shall be taxable and taxed. ‘The ayes , and nayz were called on its passage and resulted tn only four votes for the measure. A large number of legisla | tors failed to vote and desperate ef forts on the part of the measure’s par- tleans to make them vote were made apd made in vain. Finally Mr. How- ard moved that the bill be tabled, and this was done, Wherefore the meas: ure has another chance at passage. The Dill by Mr. Hall, of Bibb, at last seasion, “To restore the right of trial by jury” and drawn to prevent judges from directing a verdict, was put upon its third Treading in the house Tues. to keep the records of tie orgatiization and-as headquarters for the Daughters in Georgia. Also a bill to amend the act establishing the city court of Americus. Also a bill to amend sec- tion 4082 of the code. Also that the house had concurred in the bill for the establishment of the city court of San- dersville, previously passed by the senate, A communication in writing trom Governor Candler was received. ‘This was the new military bill which bas recently been framed by the spe- cial military commission, CREAI OF NEWS Pee Hee et Summary of the Most important Daily _£ Happenings Tersely Told. eae ee Cee: Se EEE EEE | —Leon Czolgosz, murderer of Pres- ‘ident McKinley, paid the penalty for hfs heinous crime in the electric chair at Auburn prison shortly after 7 o'clock Tuesday morning. ‘The assas- ain died unrepentant and stolcal. —In the Georgia house of represen- tatives Tuesday the Hall bill, having for Its object the taxing of all fran- chises, was tabled. —The committee having the matter in chazge has fixed the date for the National Confederate reunfon at Dal- las, Texas, April 29 to May 2 inclus- ive, Buffalo BIM’s circus train was wrecked ‘in a collision near Salisbury, N.C, Tuesday..

RESULT OF BURNING OF RAPIST Collision Occurred at Balltown, Coule- jana, Near Locallty Where Bill Morris Was Cremated Some Daya Ago. A New Orleans special says: Se- tious trouble vetween whites and no- Broes occurred at a negro camp meet- Ing at Live Oak church, near Balltown, La, Sunday, in which nine negroes were burned or shot to death and three white’ men killed. The scene of the riot was very near the place where Bill Morris, a negro, was burned to death by a mob several days ago. Con- siderable race bitterness has existed there In consequence and it probably played a prominent part In the day’s trouble. At 3 o'clock Monday mortiing a posse left Franklinton for the scene in ebarge of Sheriff Simmons and from all over the country armed men were ‘hurrying to the same place. ‘120 ort- gin of the trouble, as near as can be ascertained, was as follows: Crea Lott, a negro, was running a refreshment stand, and a constable, a white man, went to him and asked for ils Ncense. He had none and be came impudent cursed the constable and defied him. Tho constable with- drew and obtained assistance. He re- turned with several white men when the negro Lott rushed out and fired point blank into the crowd ,killing Joe Seals and Charles Elliott. The whites returned the fire and Killed Lott. The a negro preacher, named Connelly, rushed out of a house, gun In hand and attempted to shoot, when he was killed, His daughter also was | killed, tt fs sald, accidentally. In the shogting which followed another white man was killed and E. H. Thompson wounded and seven or elght negroes ‘killed, Many claim that the shooting had no direct connection with the burn- ing of Morris, but it is understood to be a sequel to that tragic event. Since that time It ts reported that the ne groes have been holding nightly meet. ings, preparing to attack the whites. On the other hand, it fs alleged that the negroes gathered in the church had held a meeting there at which they denounced the members of thelr race who touched off the pile of fagots that burned Bill Morris to death and bad sworn to have revenge on him. This latter story 1s probably the cor. rect one, for when the constable and the posse rode up the negroes who wero congregated In and around the ghurch opened fire on them from am. bush and from two or three different eirsetlont. Balltown is about 20 miles from Franklinton, in a sparsely settled sec tlon. It {s Isolated and almost entirely cut off trom the outalde world. Frank Unton ts 27 miles east of Amite City and there are no telegraph or- tele phone lines. . GEN, MILES MAKES REPORT. Preeent Strength of Army 84,513. Avere Canteen Law Is Beneficial. Lieutenant General Miles, in his an- nual report just made public, gives the total atrength of the army at the present time at 84,513, of which num. her 33,874 are in the United States, 43,239 in the Philippines, 4,914 in Cuba and the remainder in small detach. ments, being In Porto Rico, Hawaii, Chia and Alasks. He says it Is ex pected that the force in Cuba will be very much reduced and hopes that the force in the Phillppines can also be ro- duced. * R General Miles does not approve of the present organization of the artil: lery corps, saying that It establishes another bureau in Washington. He believes in the former regimental or- ganization. Speaking of the army canteen, which is abolished by the army réorganization“law, he says that no injury hag resulted, and in the main the law has been beneficial.

ACIDS DESTROY BODY Remains of Marderer Czolgost ‘Are Totally Obliterated. PHYSICIANS HOLD AN AUTOPSY No Indication of Insanity Woe Found In the Microscopic Examina- tion of the Assassin's 7 Brain. ft 4 A special from Auburn, N, ¥., says? The body of Leon Czolgosz, who was electrocuted Tuesday morning for the | murder of President McKinley, will be destroyed, | After the body was examined by the surgeons it was placed in a black stained pine coffin, every portion of the anatomy being replaced under the supervision of Dr. Gerin and Warden Meade. Shortly afterwards it was ta- ken to the prison cemetery and an ex- traordinary precaution taken to de stroy it. A few days ago, under the warden’s ordér, an experinient was made to determine the power of quick lime in the destruction of flesh and bone, which was not satisfactory. War- den Meade at oncd conferred with some of the physicians present and determined, in conjunction with Su perintendent Collins, that the purpose of the law was the destruction of the body, and that it was not necessary to use quick lime for that end. Accordingly a carboy of acid was obtained and poured upon the body in the coffin until it had been lowered into the grave. Straw was used In the four corners of the grave as the earth was put in to give vent to such gases as might form, It is the belief of the physicians that tho body will bo entirely disinte- grated within twelve hours, During that time and as long as deemed nec- essary a guard will be kept over the unmarked grave. Brain of Murderer Normal. Naturally almost the entire atten- tion of the physicians assignéd to hold the autopsy was directed toward dis- covering if possible whether the assas- vin was In ang way mentally irrespon- sible. The autopsy was conducted by Dr. Carlos 'F. MacDonald, E. A. Spitz- ka and Prison Physician Gerin. The top of the head was sawed off through the thickest part of the skull, which was found to be of normal thickness, and {t was the unanimous agreement of the physicians that the brain was normal or slightly above normal. ‘The autopsy was completed shortly before noon, when the surgeons issued the following statement: “The autopsy was made by Mr. Ed- ward A. Spitzka, of New York, under the immediate supervision and direc- tion of Dr, Carlos F. MacDonald, of New York, and Dr. John Gerin, phy- sician at the prison. The autopsy oc- cupled over three hours and embraced a careful examination of all the bodily organs ,including the brain. Thé ex- amination revealed a perfectly healthy state of all the organs, including the brain. . “ “All the physiclans who attended the execution were present at the au- topzy and all concurred In the’ find- Ings of the examiners.” / SHOW TRAIN WRECKED. ~ Buffalo Bill's Aggregation In Big Smash-Up on the Southern. .

A TRUE friend is a most precious jewel, and is to be tnuch desired. ‘Waen it comes to “social eqnali- ty” it is really “horee and horse.” Tax quiet accumulation of wealth and character should be the ambi- tion of our young men. ‘Tax signs of the time show ‘that the Negro must take advantage of every opportunity for good. No, the Negro does not aspire to -eat at the table of those of our oppo- site race and cares for nv eocial re- lation. Timuan of South Carolina has been heard from. Such citizens as he are theones that encourage an- archism. Our conservative white friends of the sonth never make a “mountain of s mole hill” as the attempt was made in the Washington case. Ev- ery gaue white man in the south knows that the Negro can not fore. himself on him soctaly matters not how many Booker Wushingtons were entertained by the President, or any one else. ‘Kor would such entertainment cause the lower ¢le- ment of the race to become restlees for more recognition, as the charge igmade, The recent discussion in the newspapers on the question has been extremely useless, Herzit is as uttered by Senator ‘Tillman of South Carolina, accord- ing to.a despatch, yesterday from Guthrie, in Oklahoma ‘Terrivory where he then was, says the New York Sun: “The action of President Roose- velt in entertaining that nigger will necessitate our killing a thoneand niggers in the south before they will learn their place azain”. ‘The Southern people have com- plained bitterly for generations that they have been caluminated by the North, and more especially by the Northern Abolitionists of the days of severy, ‘but never have they been described by their fiercest critics as the Dioogthiayy, savages they are now represented to be by this South Carolina Senator. It is a horrible threat. It is an outrage against Southern civiliza- tion. What responsibility have the poor Negroes of the South for the courtesy shown by the President to Mr, Booker Washington ? Yet here is a call for a massacre of these inoffensive people by their white neighbors, an account of which would borty the whole Christian world! And the savage appeal is sent forth bya Senator of the United States from the Christian State of South Carolina. Spxak1NG of the Kentucky lynch- ing of this week, the Evening \ress nays?" * We had hoped. that there would be n cessation of these outrages. Donbt- legs the crime for ‘whigh the man was shotand strung up wasa heinous one, unusual in the annals of the south and calculated to arouse the community. ‘This time it was not a crime against a woman, but one at which humanity nevertheless revolt. But suppose it was an unusual, even outrageous, offense. What are Jawa for if not to punish such crimes The Negro was notat large. He was not eysding arrest. He was immur- ed in jail awaiting for his tral, which Would have been speedily giv- en, and he waa certain, if proven guilty, of serious punishment.’ It was nots crime which called for death in the code of Kentucky. The ‘Negro had ceased to be a menace to the community because he was al- ready locked up in a cell, and pet he was dragged from jeil and shot Snd hanged from the steps of the court house. What a feavedry mpon faation and law! Aman is put to death—sus- “pended from the very roof tree of the temple of justice. Such pro- ceedings are calculated to bring courta into contempt and communi- ties into disgrace. Prisons are put up not only to provide against the - exeape of criminals, bat obviously to pester the wreaking of vengeance y private partes anid irreapongible mol ‘The men who lynched this Kentucky negro are almost as much enemies of law and order as the wretched criminal that they put- to death. heir offeuce is greater,’ in that it ig committed by intelhgent beings who assume to be, exponents ofa higher civilization. “Their ont- burst is not against a®race, but Reainst “a cOmssouwealth.

It ia time to call a halt against lynching if we are to preserve this fair land of onra in“a state of peace and public order. 7 We frequently make the boast that this isa white man’s country. ais being so, the white man_taust accept the responsibilities of up- holding the dignity of society and o vindicating the majesty of the law.

E., Minneapolis, Minn., Strongly Endorses Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Your Vegetable Compound cured me of ulceration of the womb, and getting such a complete cure I felt that the medicine had genuine merit and was well worth recommending to other sick women. "For fifteen years I have been your friend. I have never written you before, but I have advised hundreds of women to take your medicine, in fact it is the only real reliable remedy I know of for a sick woman. "I have not yet found a case of ovarian or womb trouble which has not been relieved or cured by the faithful use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "You have brought health to hundreds of women in Minneapolis as you have no doubt to others over the country."—MRS. ELLEN RIPLEY-5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE. When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine.

"Yes," said the loud guest at the seaside hotel; "I move in the best society in our town." "Ah!" remarked the quiet man; "I suppose you are able to take your vacation now because the moving business is slack at present."—Philadelphia Record, The Hersazhoe Superstition. It is to be hoped that the gilded horse-shoe fastened beneath the bowsprit of the Discovery will bring its fabled goo1 luck to the ship. Despite the superstition being centuries old, it is much alive, and many persons still place a stolen or found horseshoe on the chimney hearth, under the belief that it brings good luck to the house. In the "Marriage of the Arts," written in the year 1618, one of the good wishes were "that the horseshoe may never be pulled from the threshold." Against the power of witchcraft, too, it was considered efficacious. Aubrey records in the seventeenth century that "it is a thing very common to nail horseshoes on the thresholds of doors, which is to hinder witches that enter the house. In Monmouth street in 1757 several horseshoes were nailed to the doors, and on April 26, 1813, Sir H. Ellis counted seventeen in the street nailed against the steps of doors—London Chronicle. --- THE LUXURY OF THE SEASON.

Esling Built on the Maine Coast to Hold Half a Million Crustaceans. At South Bluehill, Mt., on the Hancock County coast, is being constructed the largest lobster pound in the world, its capacity being estimated at 500,000 lobsters. The lobster fisheries of Maine have long been one of the most important industries of the State, the catch being valued at millions of dollars annually. The fishermen long ago realized that by holding the lobsters until the "off" season of the year they could get higher prices than if the whole catch were marketed as fast as taken. For this purpose they constructed pounds or enclosures in which to confine the fish. There was much risk in this, however, for storms frequently wrecked the small pounds built by individual fishermen with limited means, and thus many a man lost his entire season's catch. Gradually the business of pounding lobsters passed into the hands of men of large means, who in recent years have purchased the catch of the fishermen and "yarded" the lobsters in vast numbers in pounds of great capacity, strongly constructed, selling when the price is bleh. The new pound at South Bluehill is a natural salt-water basin, formerly the pond of one of the old-fashioned tide sawmills which have now disappeared from the Maine coast. The basin is connected with Bluehill Bay by a narrow strait, and fills and empties at every tide. To convert the pond into a lobster pound it was simply necessary to construct gates at the outlet so that the water could be held or lowered at will. The pound is on a steamboat route, and lobsters taken one day may be landed in Boston on the following morning. — New York Sun. The Newly Discovered Beast The coloration of the Okapi is quite extraordinary. Its cheeks and jaws are yellowish white, contrasting abruptly with the dark-colored neck. The forehead is a deep red chestnut; the large, broad ears are of the same tint, fringed, however, with jet black. The forehead ranges between vinous red and black in tint, and a black line follows the bridge of the nose down to the nostrils. The muzzle is sepia colored, but there is a faint tint on mustache of reddish-yellow hair round the upper lip. The neck, shoulders, barrel, and back range in tone from sepia and jet black to rich vinous red. The belly is blackish, except just under the knees. The tail is bright chestnut red, with a small black turtl. The hind quarters, hind and fore legs, are either snow white or pale cream, touched here and there with orange. They are boldly marked, however, with purple-black stripe and splodges, which give that zebralike appearance to the limbs of the okapi, that caused the first imperfect account of it to indicate the discovery of a new striped horse. The soft parts of the animal being as yet unknown, it cannot be stated positively that the okapi possesses a prehensile tongue, like the giraffe, but the long and flexible lips would seem to atone for the very weak front teeth. It is probably by the lips and tongue that the creature gathers the leaves on which it feeds, for, according to the accounts of the natives, it lives entirely on foliage and small twigs. Like all rummants except the camel, it has no front teeth in the upper jaw. The molars are very much like those of the giraffe.-Sir Harry H. Johnston, in McClure's. Bride couldn't Fool One Woman. A young married couple are always interesting, chiefly because they try to conceal the fact that they are young and married. Generally they fool their men acquaintances, but they seldom deceive a clever woman. A bride and groom tried the old trick recently at a summer resort, but they met a woman who was wiser than they. This woman and the bride were chatting on the hotel veranda when the former suddenly asked: "How long have you been married?" "Three years," promptly replied the bride. The clever woman looked at the bride's left hand. "How is it, then," she said, "that you wear a ring the design of which is barely n year old?" Of course that settled it, and the next day everybody congratulated the young couple on their recent marriage. New York Mall and Express. The Park Lands of Africa There are certain districts in Central Africa that look much like the plantations of civilized countries. Their appearance impresses the traveler with the belief that their features have been shaped by the hand of man, and yet there are no people there capable of producing such effects. A member of the Linnacan Society, of London, in a recent discussion of the subject, accounted for the "homelike" look of the land by suggesting that light surface soil was gradually deposited over the salt steppes left by old-time lakes, and over this the vegetation referred to has spread. Two Most Calamitous Fires. The two most calamitious fires ever known anywhere in the world occurred in the United States within thirteen months of each other. In the first of these, in Chicago, on October 8 and 9, 1871, the property loss was $200,000,000, and in the second, in Boston, November 9, 1872, $30,000,000 of property was consumed. In Chicago 100,000 persons were left without homes and 200 were killed. Chicago's heads the list of the world's destructive configurations.

A moneyed man of Detroit was surprised to receive a call from a rather seedy looking chap—an entire stranger—the other day. Having satisfied the guards that he was not a book agent, he was allowed to enter and state his business, which he had insisted, in order to gain admittance, was important. "Well, sir?" as the worthy stepped in. "Why," was the unabashed reply, "I'd like you to indorse this note for me." The man of money examined the note critically, as he observed: "Why do you come to me? I don't know you from Adam. Why don't you go to some one you know?" "Well," was the cool reply, "I came to you because I knew you could stand the loss better than anyone else I know of."—Dedroit Free Press. AT AN ADVANTAGE.
