Two brothers in Harrisburg, Ii.,
condemned to death for murder, have
been sentenced to be. hanged on the

they do not mind being hanged, but

This certainly seems to be a reason

A Modern Wonder.
An English nobleman of high rank
linB just been brought into notice by
paying off the larger portion of his
debts. And ho did not marry an
American heiress either, nor go on
the Atagc. So it Is small wonder that
for the moment he is something of
a social curiosity.

In tho latest figure of the census
it appears that there are In this
country 1,600,000 more men than wo
jnem In Europe the difference Is tho
other way. It would seem, therefore,
that tho disposition in international
marriages should be modified. In
stead of Europeans seeking American
brides due regard for census statistics
should change, the search to one for
American husbands.

The Gorman emperor is reported to
have made an order for a commission
of experts to be appointed with a view
to the most radical and exhaustive
investigation of cancer that can pos
sibly bo made. Tho deaths of his
father, mother and uncle from this
cause have naturally given this
scourge a terrible interest in his
eyes, which has as naturally been
shared by those allied in England.
Twin Yelileli-H of Joy.
Maple sirup has long been intimate
ly associated in the American mind
and in the American stomach as well
with buekwhent cakes. And recent
attempts to push the Milo of this
saccharine commodity in Australia
and Germany have failed, apparently
because the characteristic Yankee
pancake is unknown in those coun
tries. An opening is thus revealed for
a twofold missionary enterprise.

Washington, Dee. 2. The United
States supreme court Monday ren
dered a decision in the case of Emil
J. J'epke vs. the United States. TIiIh
is the case known as the "Fourteen
Diamond Kings' ease," and Involves
the constitutionality of tho imposition
of customs duties upon merchandise
brought into the United States from
the Philippine islands after the ex
change of the pence treaty with
Spain. The opinion was handed down
by Chief Justice Fuller. The opinion
wns adverse to the claims of the gov
ernment on the ground that the Phil
ippine Islands were at the time the
rings were, brought in American ter
ritory, ceasing to be foreign territory,
they became domestic territory, ho
said. Jt was held that the resolution
ndopted by congress concerning tho
Philippines were, not suillclent to
change the situation. Justices flray,
Shjras, White and Melvcnna dissent
ed. After stating the ense at some
length Chief Justice Fuller said: "By
the third article of the treaty Spain
ceded to the United States tho ar
chipelago known as tho Philippine is
lands, and the United States agreed to
pay to Spain the sum of $20,000,000
within three months. The treaty was
ratified; congress appropriated the
money; the ratification was pro
claimed. The treaty-making power,
the executive power, the legislative
power concurred in the completion
of the transaction. The Philippines
thereby censed in tho language of the
treaty 'to be Spanish.' Ceasing to bo
Spanish, they ccaso to bo foreign
country. They came under the com
plete and absolute sovereignty and
dominion of the United States and so
became territory of the United States
over which civil government could bo
established."

of tho limine.
Washington, Dec. 2. The oponing
of the first session of the Fifty-seventh
congress at noon Monday drew
to the eapitol a great throng of spec
tators eager to witness the scenes
of animation which mark the annual
reassembling of the national lawmak
ers. A profusion of floral offerings, quite
unusual hi quantity, in variety and in
beauty, transformed the senate cham
ber into a veritable flower show. Al
most every member of the body was
the recipient of one or more of these
evidences of the regard of his friends
and the atmosphere of the chamber
was heavy with the odor of rare
plants and blossoms.
Dietrich and Millard, of Nebraska;
Gibson, of Montana, and Kittrcdge,
of South Dakota, were sworn in as
senators. After the usual resolutions
and the appointment of a committee

utes was taken. At two o'clock the

nounced the death of the late Sena
tor Kyle and the senate adjourned.
The very handsome interior of the
hall of representatives added much
to tho hupressiveness of tho general
scene at the south end of the eapitol
when Alexander McDowell, of Penn
sylvania, called the new house of rep
resentatives to order at noon.
At tho conclusion of the roll call
showing 318 imcmbcrs present, Mr.
Cannon (111.) nominated David J?.
Henderson, of Iowa, and Mr. Hay

OYER EIGHTY DEAD.
Terrible Disaster in Michigan aa

Woro Crushed mid Mtemlly Itoimtod to
Death I.lst of Injured lleuclie
100 itnd Many May Die.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 29. One of tho
most disastrous wrecks in tho history
of the Wabash railroad, or any other
Michigan railroad, occurred at Sen
eca, Mich., a small way station about
70 miles southwest of Detroit, be
tween seven and 7:30 o'clock last
night. Train No. 13, a westbound
emigrant train, with two engines,
collided, under a full head of steam,
with trahi No. 4, castbound, about
ono milo from Seneca. Tho result
was that five or six coaches on tho
emigrant train were crushed nnd tho
load of human freight sent into eter
nity in w-moment, while one coach
on train No. 4, which consisted of a
parlor car, diner and a baggage car,
was also telescoped, with the loss of
at least four persons, whose dead
bodies have been taken from the
ruins. The late3t reports arc to tho
effect that there are 80 (lend and 150
injured, of which 25 cases are serious.
Fifty of the SO dead were killed out
right. The people on that train were
caught like . rats in a trap and
crushed. Then the wreck caught fire,
and those who wcrtj not instantly
killed were slowly roasted to death,
none of the few spectators, who
hastily gathered from the farmhouses
nearby, being able to afford aid. Tho
whole immigrant train was soon con
sumed by tho flames and every person
on that train, it is reported now, wns
killed. Farmers residing along tho
track rushed in on the blazing mass
to rescue those whom they thought
might be alive. The bodies hauled
out of the wreck were taken to near
by farmhouses, which are tilled with
dead, and a large number of injured
were taken to a hospital at Peru, Ind.
Along the track long lines of burned
bodies lie covered with blankets, pre
senting a grewsome sight. It may bo
possible that the exnet number of
killed or who they are will never be
known. At present it is impossible
to get anything resembling a list of
injured or dead from Seneca. It is
said that the accident was the result
of a misunderstanding of orders. It
is reported in Seneca that No. 4
should have waited at Seneca station
and that No. 13 should have taken tho
siding. This was not done. Then
the crash came.

FROM OVER THE SEA.
There are 218,888 Jews in the Brit

The United Kingdom hns 16 leading

Great Britain with her colonies

A German nuthority states that

In Haroldswick, in the Shetlnnds, a
whalebone viking drinking horn in

A CLERGYMAN'S DISCOVERY.
Fredericksburg, Ind., Dec. 2. Ac
cording to tho positive declaration oi'
ltev. E. P. Stevens, of this place, that
gentleman has found a remedy for all
diseases of the Kidneys and urinary
organs. For years he suffered severe
ly with these complaints, inconti
nence of the urine, making life a bur
den to him, but ho never ceased ex
perimenting in the hope that some
day he would discover a remedy.
After many failures he has at last
succeeded and is to-day perfectly
cured nnd a well man, and explains
that his recovery is due to the use oi
Dodd's Kidney Tills. This remedy has
been successfully applied to many
cases of Lamo Back, Rheumatism,
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and other
Kidney Diseases, and there seems to
be no case of the kind that Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills will not cure. This is the -only
remedy that litis ever cured
