HE WAS REPRIEVED. Bnt Through an Officer’s Bungling Ho Died Jnst the Same. The custom in the English navy, up bo the beginning of the present century, of keeping back from men reprieved, after sentence of .death, all knowledge pf such reprieve until the last moment, when all the formalities attending the execution of the sentence, except the dread one that came last of all, had been duly observed, is answerable for several terrible mishaps involving tragic consequences. One dreadful affair of the kind occurred in 1766. A marine had been sentenced to death for desertion, and the day fixed for his execution had arrived. The man received the sacrament, and was duly conducted to the place fixed for his execution, under escort of an officer's guard, with all the routine formalities usual on such dread occasions—his coffin immediately preceding him, and the band playing the “Dead March.” The preliminaries over, he was placed in a position to receive the fatal volley. His eyes were bound. The firing party stepped forward and took post within six paces. “Make ready.” Click, click, click went the flint locks. “Present.” Up went the muskets, all leveled in a row at the prisoner’s breast. Then there was a pause as the officer in command, holding in his hand, rolled up, the fatal handkerchief, the dropping of which had been arranged as the signal to “fire,” turned away. Every one looked on, wondering at the delay while the officer was apparently trying to get at something in his tunic pocket. He grasped it and pulled out a paper, but in his eagerness dropped the handkerchief. Instantly there was a line of spurting flame points—a rattle and an echoing crash—as the nine reports rang out in unison! The culprit pitched forward heavily on his face with a dull thud, and lay stretched out as dead as a stone. It was too late when, almost throwing himself across the line of fire, the officer ejaculated in tones of horror, “My God, stop! Here’s his reprieve!”

MRS. HENRY IRVING.

The Romantic Story of the Great Actor’s Wife. Much to the regret of the English people Henry Irving has left London and will soon arrive In this country. He leaves behind him the mother of his ch'ldren, whom he has not seen for many years. There Is a certain romance connected with the great actor’s marital relations which is not known to the world. A slender, good-looking but melancholy lady is the wife of the great actor. If the truth must be told, she has not been without occasion for grief. The London public knows little about her and cares less. If It knew it would care no more. But people who have an Intimate knowledge of many concerns say that Lady Irving has borne a heavy burden for many years. She was married to Irving twenty-six or twentyseven years ago, when he was an inconsiderable player. Her maiden name was O’Callaghan, and she was the daughter of a regimental lArgeon of the British army in India. She was a woman of Imperious, even violent temper, and she and Irving did not enjoy a long period of felicity. Two children were born to them. They were named Henry and Laurence. When Laurence Irving was 2 weeks old and Henry was 2 years, Mr. and Mrs. Irving separated. The actor left the house and never returned. Except for chance encounters the two never have met since that day. His friends asserted that she was insanely jealous; her friends that he was careless of her. He had the stronger side, hut her family and relatives by marriage have constantly reiterated their faith in her. A number of years ago a suit for separate maintenance was rumored. It Is not known that a suit was actually brought, hut Mr. Irving promptly settled £I,OOO a year upon his wife. The latter, however, has never made use of this money, which has gone toward the education of her children.-

African Bread.

‘‘The staple article of food,” writes a traveler in Africa, “is guanga or cavassa bread. It is made from the manioc root, from which tapioca and mauioca are produced. The manioc resembles the elder bush; the roots form Into tubers like sweet potatoes. The way In which the guanga or cavassa bread is prepared is as follows: The tubers are thrown into a bamboo basket and are kept under water for live or six clays, until they begin to show signs of decomposition. They are then taken out, the skins are removed, aud they are pounded Into pulp in a mortar. The dough is rolled Into balls of about two pounds In weight, wrapped up in banana leaves, tied securely with rattan strings, and put into a big earthen pot and boiled for three or four hours. The cavassa bread Is then ready for use. It will keep for three weeks if properly made andtaken care of. To see a company of natives stripping the covering off their two pound loaves and munching them in concert does not tend to whet the appetite. When you begin to experiment with It you find It has a sour smell and a sour taste. The natives In making It manage to get a lot of sand mixed into it, making it feel rather gritty when eating it. Whether this is done to aid digestion or whether it is the result of accident is a matter of conjecture. But even in spite of the thought of the mudholes in which one has seen the tubers rotting, with hunger for a sauce, one gets to be able to eat the native bread, and after a time he even begins to like It."

California’s Public Schools.

Pacts as to the development of the public school system of California show that although it Is only forty-seven years since the first schoolhouse vNls built In the State, yet now the annual expenditure for public schools is nearly $6,000,000, and 6,600. teachers are employed In instructing 240,000 pupils. These teachers are p*4d more liberally than In any other State, and they rank high In efficiency. The State University and its affiliated colleges have been very liberally endowed, and the competition of Stanford University has helped Instead of injuring It. The bequest of J. C. Wilmerding of $400,000 for the establishment of a schoo 1 in which boys may learn trades has fallen due, and this new technical school will be under the State University, and every effort will >be made to render It efficient

California’s Vintage.

California’s vintage has begun, and trustworthy estimates as to the production are now available. In every district the outlook is more favorable than last year. The production of dry wine in the State will be about 20 to 25 per cent, greater than last year, and will be from 12,000,000 to 13.000,000 gallons. About 4,500,000 gallons of sweet wine will be produced, making a total wine production in California this year of about 17,000.000 gallons. This is far short of the consumption, and much less than the production of 1893, so winemakers look for good prices and prosperous times. The average price for dry-wine grapes will be about sls a ton.

BIG AND BROAD PLANS

HON. ELI MARVIN’S IDEA OF INDIANA’S CENTENNIAL. The Greatest Opportunity For an Exhibition of State Pride—Views Regarding the Great Project by Hon. O. T. Doxey and Commissioner Jackson. “The opportunity afforded by the act of the last legislature in creating a commission to devise plans for the proper observance of the one hundredth anniversary of the formation of Indiana into a territory cannot be overestimated,” says Hon. Eli Marvin of Frankfort, one of the Indiana Centennial commissioners. “It is not unreasonable to assume that the people of the state do not wish it to pass by without due recognition. Indiana has resources of such variety and in such limitless quantity that her people need not be ashamed to exhibit them—neither are they ashamed to do so. What ha, been accomplished in a hundred years should fill every citizen with pride of the past and give zeal and enthusiasm for the future. Au exposition should be held that would place before the world the history and development of onr state—and while it should be distinctively Hoosier, in my opinion it ought to be lug enough and broad enough in its character, as it certainly would be attractive enough in its exhibits, to deserve and command the attention and patronage of a large per cent of the more densely populated section of our mid-continent. The name Hoosier, while doubtless originally given in derision, lias been refined aud purified by the consecrations and sacrifices, both in war aud peace, of those to whom it applied, until it is no longer used as a reproach, but rather as a synonym for broad-mindedness, liberality, push, energy—in short, all that goes to make up a people who lead, not follow, in au advanced civilization. Indiana, the Hoosier state, is today the best evidence of this: In agriculture, her farms are the very ‘garden spots’ of the world, while her mines, foundries, manufactories, railroads and varied industnes.make a combination for wealthproducing that is great aud is growing greater every year. In the fields of

statesmanship, literature and education, there is, as leaders, an array ‘of honorable men aud women not a few,’ while the magnificent and substantial public school system that reaches to the threshhold of the humblest citizen and the numerous colleges and universities that give opportunity for higher training, are undoubted assurances that intelligence and progressiveness are to be leading characteristics of the future citizen. Then with such a people as compose the population of Indiana and with such resources as she has, why not have an exposition in 1900 that will place in juxtaposition the past and the present ? I believe the people want it—will be benefitted and eucourged by it, and therefore are willing to provide ample means for it.” ON A SCALE THAT WILL MARK AN EPOCH. Hon. Charles T. Doxey of Anderson, one of the commissioners from the Seventh district, expresses himself as heartily in favor of celebrating the centennial anniversary of the organization of Indiana territory, and cannot conceive of a more fitting plan for its proper observance than the holding of a mammoth exposition. “It will,’’ he says, “give the various industries of our state au opportunity to show the great advancement that lias been made since Indiana commenced her territorial existence. Other states have observed similar events, and have found them to be beneficial to almost every branch of industry. It will stimulate trade, encourage progressive competition, educate the people, advertise our natural resources and demonstrate to the world that from an industrial standpoint, Indiana is second to none. It should be conducted on such a scale that it will mark an epoch not only in the history of the state, but in the history of the United States We have everything in readiness for such an exposition except the place and the date fixed. Let the legislature prepare a place and fix a date, and our people, who have been waiting for such au opportunity, will do the rest. ’ ’ EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL PROGRESS. Commissioner Jackson of Greenfield uelieves the enterprise is one which should bo entered into with a spirit and ■liergy such ns has characterized the progress aud development of the state airing the century. “In doing this,” :e _ says, ‘‘l think we should not lose ,iit of the educational and social pro's-; which lias been made by the citi* is of our state. The material adaacement and general business condieus can b ■ v rv readily and properly o t ,ht into aiuonce, for the busies lie tifurious of the state will ccrally bv giud to co-operate in this en■iiri.se. i am not prepared to enter ato auy details concerning the colebra>u, but I believe the patriotism of our citizens and their pride in the state will cause them to render the commission the necessary assistance to successfully carry out any plan which they may adopt. White there is considerable ume before the date of the celebration, yot I am of the opinion that definite work should be doue in the near future in the way of determining the general plan and arranging the details, so far as expedient and possible at this time. In uo other wav can the object and pleasure of the celebration be so forcibly impressed upon the minds of the people and their co-operation secured.”
