From the way New York bus been handling the Kemmler case it would seem to a man up a tree as if it would be a far better thing for the State, if it would sentence its criminals in the first place to die of old age. Gkokuk VandkkiiilT docs not show the fears of his brother-in-law liditor Shep ard. On the contrary, he is going down into the bowels of the Confederacy, and is fitting up an ,$8,000,000 summer es tate near Asheville, N.

Atlanta Constitution, London is speculating heavily in shares of the Kentucky and Tennessee Land companies, in some cases, say tnc uis- patches, shares huve gone up from 250 to 300 icr cent, premium. Foreign capi tal is ltccoming interested iu America, and whatever else it means it cannot help but develop some of the finest coun try iu the world. Harvard won the largest numlier ol prizes at the contest nt Ilerkclv Oval, New York, and not satisfied with their victory the boys must needs make a night of it and ended it up by painting the statue of John Harvard a deep red. The statue is probably spoiled. There is still some material for the fool killer in this broud land of the free. "Tin-: beautiful women of the world" are requested, in a circular, to send their photographs to the Iluroness Klara von dcr Decklcr at Tillis. These will all be examined by a committee of artists and those selected will be put in an album with the title "Types of Female Beauty of the Last Years of the Nineteenth Cen tury." Then the album will be sent to the Moscow Museum. Willi.

Commissioner Fred- crick dc Lntour Booth-Tucker, of Hin dostan, Chief of the Lust Indies and Cey lon Department of the Salvation Army, came over a few days ago. He has been assigned to work in New Jersey. An English syndicate has just closed the sule for ten breweries iu San Fran cisco. The price paid was f,.iuu,uuu. A year ago several of the largest brewer ies of Detroit were purchased by an ling lish syndicate. At the time they were making money but when they passed into tiie hands of the Britishers the sales dropjied off and instead ol a dividend at the end of the year an assessment was made. The reason assigned was that the people would not buy beer made by foreigners. This, however, docs not seem to deter the monied men of Eng land as the recent sale shows. In Asheville the census enumerators do not have so bud a time ol it because in this healthy locality there are few chronic diseases and icople don't mind saying no. But in New York where diseases of all nationalities and colors arc met at every band, the census enumerators has no snap uud many of the l.oou who started out so boldly on Mondnv morn ing lust would now like to exchange their job for a more congenial if a less remunerati e one. New York paiers say that complaints arc pouring in on every hand and that the life of the enumerator is by no means a happy one. MOReTn JUSTICE TO COME "The white republicans in the South arc not unanimous by any means fur the Fvdcr.il Election law," writes a enrrcs- lent of u St, Louis imiikt.

For this reason Reed gave out wonl that he wanted tnc renublicnii mniorily in the house increas ed, and the servile committee on privi leges mid elections obeyed Ins mandate There lire signs of lurthcr revolt, and as he hasn't a sure majority yet, the coun try can expect more of this high-handed injustice.
