Louis Anastny, ex-sub lieutenant, who murdered liis bencfac toress, Baroness Dollard, on December tth last, was executed in the Place De la Roqncltc nt 5:10 this morning. In accordance with the French custom the condemned man had no knowledge that he was to meet his death this morn ing until the prison officials entered his cell and t'r' him prepare for execu tion. Thcguillotine was erected directly in front of the jail. Knowledge of the tragedy that would be enacted this morning had reached the general public through thecrectionof the guillotine and the usual crowd of sight seers, composed mostly of the dregs of the city, were present to witness the fate of the condemned. Anastny walked lo the guillotine with out displaying any great amount of ner vousncss. In lact, his bearing was firm. He was very pule, However, and it was apparent that he had steeled himself against the ordeal. lie laughed as he reached the guillotine, bat his laughter was caused by nervousness and not by anv lack of appreciation of his awful position. When he arrived at the place of death the preliminaries were quickly completed. Anastny embraced tlie chaplain, who had administered the last rites ol the church to him and bade him farewell. The executioner met with not the slightest resistance from the prisoner, and the latter was soon bound and thrown upon the bascule, the slid ing board, which carries the culprit beneath the knife. In almost less tunc than it takes to write, Anastay was pushed forward until his neck rested upon the black beneath the razor-like blade suspended above him. There was a quick, whirring sound as the heavy knile dropped, and the head ol the mur derer lell into the basket placed to re ceive it. The Latter Wi re on Time, but the Former Were Not.

About a week ago the idol of the White House look it into his curlv head that he wanted a billy goat and little red wagon. He toddled to the president's private room, confident of having his wish gratified. His grand father patted him on the head and told him that he would give him pretty nearly everything, but a billy goat, never. Hut the babv burst Into tears. The president gave in, called a messenger nnu ioki mm to go out and purchase a mild-eyed goat ol the William gender. In the cousc of a few hours the mcssen ger returned with the brightest little red wagon you ever saw, a full set of har ness, and with a sad eyed billy goat with whiskers so long that everyone imme diately dubbed him Senator I'fcffcr. The "senator" was assigned a suite oi rooms in the White House stable, wher a little later Willis, the squint-eved conch man, made his acquaintance. The goat erected him hrmly by giving him tl first degrte in masonrv. Willis took ex cciition to this, but seeing that the bill was about to renew his peculiar greeting wisely concluded not to stay and argue the matter. Willis climbed astraddle the White House lence. near the big carriage en trance, but when he attempted to get down on either side his goatship ran quickly through the gate, preparing to renew the controversy. Uy this time the White House people were aroused and two gardeners were dispatched to tapture the goat and res cue the unfortunate Willis. The coach man went immediately into the White House and presented his ultimatum, de claring that he or "His Whiskers," as he disrespectfully called liaby McKee, shsuld go. The president didn't know what to do. He did not want to lose his favorite!0" coachman, and lit could not send the the UillvEoat away. Secretary Hal ford sug gested a renewal of the modus vivendi, V . .-.'i-J .1... , 1.J out I lie coaenman lusisicu imunc woum never again enter the stable while the IliUygoat remained. A compromise was finally effected, however, by providing a minature stable for the new member of the White House stable under the rear portico of the exe cutive mansion. N. Y. Herald.
