The debates in congress are almost warm enough to start an early spring in Washington. If it is true that Secretary Shaw once sawed wood for a living he un- @oubtedly earned the “handout.” Gov. Beckham gives positive assur- ance that peace has arrived in Ken- tucky, and that she has come to stay. John Legree Sullivan’s dramatic company has come to grief, but John will drown his share of it in the old way. Mr. Morgan drew his check for $34,- 000,000, and the bank teller didn’t ask him if he’d have it in small Dills, either. London is becoming a great concen- tration camp, its population hav- ing increased nearly a million in ten years. Mayor Low of New York has just made the painful discovery that it is a hard thing to please everybody all the time. The most surprising thing about “Uncle Tom” is not his own vitality but the faculty he has of stirring up other people. Puts and calls in Illinois have been put on the shelf by the United States supreme court, where chey are likely to stay put. Lord Sholto Douglass and wife are to open a saloon in Spokane. It is not every country that can boast of royalty “tending bar.” ‘The exportation of large quantities of surplus gold bricks is a very shabby way of profiting by England’s new- born trust and friendship. There was something peculiarly har- monious and appropriate about the re- cent meeting of Paderewski and Count Podgovoski at Poughkeepsie. Andrew Carnegie’s plans for a na- tional university have not been fully matured, except that he knows where the money-is coming from. A Boston paper refers to an inventor of that city as “The Father of the Monkey Wrench.” The population of Boston is getting sadly mixed. The latest misalliance is charged up to hypnotism. However, that’s only another name for powerful fas- cination. So let the couple plead guirty. ool teacher whipped Boone’s son and shot Wil- objecting. There may have ne other extenuating circum- Willian liam fo been son stance. The aged organist who boxed J. Pierpont Morgan’s ears is now making a bid for fame, but he should have waited until after Prince Henry had gone home. A man who once boxed J. Pierpont Morgan’s ears for “cutting up” in a church gallery is still alive. He ought to have little trouble in making him- self dear to the hearts of the American people. ‘We must all quit this vale of tears some day, and many a weary mortal would like to make his exit after the manner of that lucky Wisconsin man who has just died of laughter over a good story. If eastern Siberia grows in the next fifty years as our western states have grown in the last half century, the people of Siberia and the United States will be singing “Hands Across the Sea” to a new tune. Great Britain has just invited bids for ten new torpedo destroyers, and one of the principal conditions of the contract is that the torpedo destroyers shall float a reasonable length of time after leaving their docks. The daughter of a Kentucky politi- elan accompanies her father during his campaign for a congressional nom- ination and sings and plays for votes. This differs from the general custom, \ where money pays for everything. } ] | Admiration for Washington is noth- ing new in England. Byron declared that there is but one such man in his- tory. Washington came of an old | English family and for the most of his t life was an English subject. What he aid in his later years helpeu to make England itself freer. Mr. Bull has no reason to be ashamed of the Wash- ington strain of blood. There is a strange mingling of the Arabian Nights with the modern west- ) ern world in the notice that the open- ing of the Bagdad railroad has been ‘postponed till after the feast of Bai- ram. By trolley to Jerusalem is the pext extension projected. After July 1, 1902, the only kind of pistol that can be ‘soid) lawfully in South Carolina wil! be a formidable af- fair twenty-two inches long and weigh- ing not less than three pounds, There will be some bootlegging in pistols fone in South Carolina after that date. ——EEE STRUNG UP BY A HOWLING MOB OF FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE, BOPY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS TAKEN FROM SHERIFF BY MOB THAT HAD BEEN HUNTING FOR MIM.

POOH HHHOH OOD Cave-in of n Huge Bank of Earth at Cleveland Gas W: Cleveland, Ohio, March 27 result of a cave-in of a huge bank of earth at the Main street plant of the Cleveland Gaslight and Coke company yesterday afteraoon, seven men are dead. Another laborer was injured. but it is believed not seriously so. The men were working close to a bank of clay when it suddenly gave way with- out warning, burying them beneath the mass of earth. Fellovy workmen imme- diately began the work of rescue and in_ a very short time six of the men had been taken out. Some of them were alive, others were already dead, their lives having been smothered out. The living were started to the several near- by hospitals, but died en route and their bodies were taken to undertaking establishments. Werkmen employed at the scene of the disaster give as a cause for the fall of clay the thawing of the ground by the warm sun, which made the clay looser than it had been previously. There were thirty-five or more men at work on the excavation, which is being made for the erection of a new building. and as they all lived near by their wives and children, who had learned of the -lisester, rashed to the place and added to the confusion by their terror+stricken cries for their rel- atives whom they were not able to To- cete instantly.
