Ilia Aids Made of It ,
Now York Evening Telegram.
"Sheriff , " aild the jillor , "I think it It
ttmo to awaken the condemned man. It
is a quarter to eight o'clock nnd tbo oxo-
cation , la fixed for eight. There is juat
tlmo for him to mnko his toilet. "
"Yos , you nra right , for the crowd t
becoming Impatient , " said Shorlfl D w-
son , as ho glanced toffard the sqnarj op
posite the window.
The equnro wna fall of people. All the
Inhabitants of the town of Waterford
swarmod-thoro about the gallowa. Their
cariosity was justified , for poor Cocktail ,
the condemned man , who waa to bo
hanged , wai an exceptionally Intcroitlng
porsonngo. What hla real name waa no
one scorned to know , but as Jim Cocktail
ho wan known and feared throughout the
Intoiior pact of the Lone Star stato. For
two years previous io his capture ho hud
terrltiod Texas. There was no kind of
ctlmo that ho had not committed , and ,
as ho was an ocoontrlc , there was always
something original in his exploit ] ,
Ono day , after having robbed the safe
of lich binkor , ho locked himself in his
tafo. Three hours later the unfortunate
maa was discovered squatting like a t.\l-
lor in his confined prison and completely
exhausted by his efforts to summon help.
Many of the robberies committed by Jim
Gocktail'o baud gave ovidciico , in the
tools loft behind , that there was a very
clover mechanician among thorn.
On hla trlnl Jim Cocktail , while persis
tently rcfuiiag to natno his accomplices ,
who were still at liberty , confesasd his
crimes with unbecoming cynicism. Ho
acknowledged that ho was both n robber
and an nuasiln. The jury , without a
dissenting voice , condemned him to
death. Ho received Ilia verdict with a
shrug of the shoulders , saying that his
execution would bo remembered by nil.
That acoonntod for the unprecedented
excitement In Watorford. At the win-
down opening on the square the shorlil
recognized all the notiblo persons of the
town , and especially his betrothed , the
charming Miss Dixie , a young lady of the
"boat society" of Wnterford , who was to
become his wife in about a week , and
who displayed extreme Bollcltudo to bo
correct In everything.
"Above all , " she tald to ho * future
husband , "lot your execution of Jim
Cocktail bo corrcst. This is the firat
tlmo I have been Invited by you to
witness n hanging , and I know I aball
not be able to mairy you If you do net
carry out with success in every respect
the trust which your fellow cili/.sns have
confided to you. "
In obedience to the insiructionn of the
sliorlil , tbo jailer took from his belt a
largo bunch of keys , and , followed by
half n dczaa men employed m the prison
and by the sheriff himself , ho led the
way to the call of the condemned man ,
situated ot the end of a dark corridor al
Iho back of the jail.
Jim Cocktill , his form lying extended
on the bed , bin fao to the wall , ssomet
to bo sleeping soundly.
"Mr. Cocktail , " said the nherlf
politely , "it lacks but ten minutes of J
j'clock. Now , yon know jour exocutini
, s fixed for eight. All the best peopli
jf Waterford are already hi the tqaare
and I dare say that your execution wil
bo amostbrllliantalTair. Bo good enough
.herofore , to get up so a3 not to keo ]
heao gentlemen waiting. "
Jim Cocktail did not move.
"There ara alee a number of lidieo litho
the square , " added the sheriff , who wa
becoming slightly vexed , "and surol ;
you would not lira them by your de
"
'ay- '
-
'ay"Shako him , Binco he pretends not t
hear. If he intendu this ns a jest It 1
.11 timed , " said the sheriff , severely.
The jiiler obeyed and seized Jfr
Cocktail by the shoulder , but ho at one
released his hold , uttering a cry of astoi
lohmont and elevating hh lingo py <
brown until they aoemed almost to joi
hla hair.
"Sheriff ! Sheriff ! " he exclaimed , "th :
la a wooden man. "
The sheriff throw hlmsalf upon Jii
Cocktail and found to his dlamay that h
had been addressing , net the cjndomne
man , but a manikin made of paeteboar
and wood , which had been secretly pi
in hla placa. But who had done Ihii
Presently the sheriff found in ono of th
manikin's hands the following lottci
which he read to hh frightened men- :
Excuse mo if I decline to ba hanged h
you , Important affairs demand my attoi
tion , nnd I RO to rejoin my comrades wh
have helped me to escape. It you like , yo
can hang the manikin which 1 leave in m
place , and which my friends passe J throng
the window , the bars of which I Bawei
Yours truly , JIM COCKTAIL ,
Theaherifflo * , the letter fall from h
hands , and glanced toward the wlndov
Ho saw that two largo bars had bee
eawn.
A moment of alienee followed. A
wore dumbfounded. Tha sheriff fore an'
that thia unfortunate occurrence woul
end In the breaking off of hlaeiigagomei
to Miss Dixie , and the jailor and hta a
slatanta saw that they would prob&bl
loao their positions. What was 10 t
done ?
"Suppose wo hang the manikin , a < i th
rascal baa suggested , " said the jaile
who was a shrewd and crafty follow.
"How can you think of ill" exclalme
the dlttractcd sheriff. "How could n
manage the march to the gallows ? "
"Wo could carry him in our arms , i
if he wore overcome by fear , " said tt
jailor. "The hair and beard are of tt
saruo color as Jim Cocktail's , and tt ,
people will not discover the trick. Li
us make haito , for the hour for oxecatlc
has arrived. It is striking eight now , "
There was not a minute to ba lot
thoto was no time for reflection. B <
aides the sheriffs firat thought was I
avoid any trouble that might prevent h
marriage , BO ho gave his consent to tl :
jailor's proposition.
Five minutes later the doora of tl :
prison wore thrown open , and the po
sotsicn made ltd appearance with tt
sheriff at Its head. Then came the < flo
gyman , who waa reading the aervici
while in hla heart deploring the mul
obstinacy of the criminal. After hi
came the pseado Jim Cocktail hlmael
berne In the anna of two of the koepe
of the prlaon , hla llmba dragging 111

Other employes of the prlton brought t
the rear of the proceta'ou.
On aoelng the pitiable condition <
Jim Cocktail , the crowd murmured , nt
hlaioa nere heard ai ho was lifted to t !
scaffold. Thia wai not acoompllihi
without a good deal of trouble. Fortu
ately , tha sheriff waa cheered by a giant
from Mi * Dixie expressing her entli
cautldence In him , ,
The sheriff w s ia one of thosa poi
tirni in which It is neceeaaiy to have n
caurco to audacity. Ho advanced to the
edge of the platform and addresiod the
crowd.
"Lsdloa nnd gpntlomon , " ho laid , "Mr
Cacktall bus deiired mo to preecnt hti
excuses to yon , Ilo awoke in n very
nervous condition Ihii morning , and foi
that reason hla bearing for the past fox
minutes has not been all that it should
hare been. Ho haa , however , promised
mo ( hat ho will dlo like a trtia man , and
I promisn yen that ho will keep hi !
word. "
Then the sheriff , taking a position in
front of Jim Cocktail , whom two keep-
era held uptight on the platform , placed
the rope around hii neck , but in exe
cuting tills movement ho touched a opting
concealed in the beard of the manikin ,
and then occurred a frightful accident ,
such aa had never boon known before in
the history of capital executions. There
was a slight toand like that by a clock
about to strike , and then the strains ol
dance music were hoard coming from the
body of Jim Cocktail , who suddenly be
gan to dance a jig over the trap in the
gallows. The sheriff , hii malstimts and
the clergyman swooned with fright.
The manikin of Jim Costall , which had
evidently bjoii constructed by a clovot
mechanism belonging to the ontlaw'o
band was a musical automaton , and had
boon wound up and made ready to work
whenever the spring in the neck wa ;
pressed.

Eden ,
Now York Times. .
Iho theory that the garden of Eden
was situated in Asia Minor has boon re
jected by many eminent men. Christo
pher Columbus maintained that Eden w&a
situated on the top of a mountain in
GuUna , and he would have vlalted It
had tlmo and money permitted. Thia
opinion waa not , atrongo as it may seem ,
regarded ai heretical , for the church ac
cepted Columbus' theory that the Mcsilc
account of a garden planted eastward , on
the banks of the Euphrates , could bo rec
onciled with scientific proof that the
garden was , in point of fact , planted on a
South American mountain , Perhaps it
was oiaioi to reconcile science and reli
gion in the time of Columbus than it is
now ; for wo may be very sare that a pro
fessor in a Southern Presbyterian theolgi-
cal seminary who should adopt the theory
hold by Columbus would bo promptly
tried for heresy.
A now theorist has jast written a book
to prove that Eden was situated precise
ly at the north polo. Ho claims that at
the time of tbo creation of Adam the
north polo enjoyed n delightful cllmato ,
free from malaria , and wonderfully adapt
ed to pereons an ( fa ring from rheumatism ,
consumption , dyspepsia , Brlght's dis
ease , broken legs and all other dlaoasea
of the throat and lungs. It is hla opin-
on that immediately after the fall oi
idam there was a teeming population at
bo pole , and that the diliercnt races oi
mankind emigrated from that region ID
eparato streams to populate America ,
Suropo , Asia , and the rest of the world ,
'hoy carried with them tha seoda of al
valanWo plAutn and RDBCJmui1 * ° E all de-
Irablo animals , and when the wucK oi
lopulatlng the uloba had been complete :
, ho garden of Eden waa suddenly frozet
lalid , BO that it might be preserved in ici
until a late period in the history of tb
earth.
Of caureo the inventor of thii theor ;
lolds that an expedition should proceei
: o the pole and annex the Garden o
Eden to the United States without delay
It is , however , probable that few object
of any pecuniary value are now 1 < \ th
uardon. Ooly the refoso seeds and ani
mala were left thor'o after the last grco
migration , and olthong'a naturalist
would bo interested in finding a nei
snake or a cat with two beads , there 1
no general demand for now anlmak
The fatal tree of whose fruit Adam an
Ere unwisely ate may atlll bo in the gai
den , but if so it should bo cut down th
moment it is discovered and burned t
ashes , lost another diaftstrjus attempt t
eat iti apples should bo mado. C
course the walh of the garde
are still standing , but the angel wit
the 'two-edged .s ord must long ag
have been relieved and taken hia awor
with him , for no angel lightly clad I
white robes could endure the pleasiri
cllmato of the north polo. It would be it
teresting to find Adam's hoc and h !
patent reaping mnchine , but the latte
mnit bo out of order by this tlmo , and i
all probability it has been broken up fc
the sake of the old Iron by wanderin
Ejqulmanx. On the whole , if the gai
den of Eden is nt the north pole It woul
noc bo worth wbilo to find it , for whil
as a discovery it would bo entirely nai
lees , there can bo litlte doubt that an c
fort would ba made to erect a mnnumor
to Adam In the centre of the garden , an
that committees for the next two contu
, would bo constantly dunning tl :
puolic for subacrlptlona to the buildlt :
fund.

VANDALISM.
An Exhibitor nt the 'World's Fair
Smashes His Offering.
NEW ORLEANS , April 9. A case of
malicious vandalism was committed at
the exposition to-day , which has created
great excitement there. Ono of the
prettiest displays of the exposition was
that of Colorado , representing a econo In
the park region of that state , with the

For twelve years the contracts undo
which postage ( stamps have been mad

contained a specification that "thes'amp

The specification had the eflect of keep

and engraving haa used steam prc

printed any of the poatago stamps. Th
contract lot four yeara ago expires o

to the clause mentioned , there was n
competition , and there would have boo
none this year but for the poatmastt'i '

The coat of postage stamps has been r <
duced from 25 cents per thousand stamp

paid under the present contiact. Th
admission of steam preaaea Into com

department to make a great rt

amounts to about $200,000 a year , Th
Governments of Germany , Ilatala an
Sweden are using steam preaaea "In ill

The company have ixgnin concluded to putonnnlo 1,000 lot" , nnd let the purchniora of

being an augured fact that South Omnha is destined In the uo r futnro to bo the largest live
stock mnrkot west of Chicago , tbcro cm bo no doubt tint thic property In n few year * will bo
worth five or o\cn ton times the amount that it can bo bought for to-day.
Some may asks If this Is so , why dc not the company keep it nnd ronlizo this profit
