An epidemic of influenza in Rochester, N. Y..has been traced to a practical joker who sprinkled snuff in the streets.

A man required by his wife to do housework and mind the baby asksa divorce in Chicago because she would not allow him even five cents a day. If the millions of women who have done housework and minded the babies all their lives without a personal allowance of one cent a day were to get divorce on that ground there would be a startling dislocation of society.
There is a boldness among the stu dents of Russia which is rather surprising to persons outside of that country. Men who in Russia express such - sentiments as: “Is it not strange that one man with insignificent mental fac_ulties should rule over 140,000,000 people?” take their lives in their hands, yet this is what some of the students in St. Petersburg have just done. Men have often thought that way in Russia, but not often dothey express such feelings openly in printed words. :
W. T. Geissinger, ‘of Braddock, Pa., had a discussion with a foreigner relative as to the honesty of those employed in the mail service of our government, and finally, to back up his statements, he took a silver dollar, pasted a piece of paper and wrote on one side the address of his daughter who was visiting in New York. Attaching a Eme-centg ‘'stamp he dropped the dollar into the mail box, and two days later received a note from his daughter thanking him for his novel gift. ' L
Judge M. P. Tuley, of Chicago, celebrated his seventy-fifth anniversary with a banquet, and in'a speech he said: = “At 75 I find -myself in perfect health. My wife, who has been my comforter and mainstay for over 50 years, is yet spared me. lam neither rich nor poor. Ambition I have put behind me. Contented and happy, surrounded by hosts of friends, I ean only say that the last of my life is the best.” The question “Is marriage a failure?” never bothered Judge Tuley. -
_ That American anthracite coal has failed in Germany is not surprising. The coal is all right, but it was put to an unfair test, being used in the porcelain stoves so dear to'the hearts of Germans. These stoves are designed for the use of peat or bituminous briquettes as fuel, and naturally anthracite is not adapted to them. But if Germans will try American anthracite coal in connection with American stoves the results will probably be satisfactory to them. They may have to come to it, as the question of fuel is a serious one in the empire.’
Latest statistics of immigration show that there is a rea] need of a more effective immigration law.- The prosperity of the country is still at“tracting thousands of immigrants, and during the month of February there ~fwere ny,i4. arrivals at the port.of New York, ag~inst 21.947 in the corresnonding month in 1901. The tofal ntimber of immigrants at this one port for the eight months of the fiscal yedr up to March 1 was 226,581. The total for the fiscal year 1900-01 was 388,931, which is likely to be surpassed, as this year’s fmmigration shows an increase, - It was to be expected that members of Prince Henry’s party would comment on some things after their return to Germany which they could not talk about here. They were amused while on their travels at the calls of “Speech, speech,” from the crowds collected at " stations. Aside from the fact that the calls were addressed to a member of the royal family, they were probably | amused at the insistence for speeches. 3t is an American trait and only exists _ in a country where oratory is a fint art ~and where listening to 4 speech is the _mext greatest privilege to making one.,

MOB FINDS A VICTIM.
Charles Francis Woodward Lynched at Casper, Wyo.
Gallows Had Been Prepared for His Legal Execution—Respite Granted Condemned Man Arouses Ire of Citizens,
Casper, Wyo., March 29.—Charles Francis Woodward, the condemned murderer of Sheriff W. C. Ricker, of this county, was hanged in his nightclothes at one o’clock Friday morning by 24 masked and armed men on' the scaffold erected for his legal execution. The men overpowered Sheriff T&bbs. secured the keys and led the condemned murderer from his cell with as little ceremony as possible. At one o’vlock there came a loud rap at the sheriff’'s door and 24 determined men demanded the keys to the jail. On refusing the demand Sheriff Tubbs was seized and bound and the keys secured. After this there was no resistance to the lynchers. They soon secured the prisoner and led him to the scaffold erected in the jail yard on which Woodward was to have been hanged Fridavy but for the intenvention of a
respite granted by the supreme court. A rope was quickly fastened to a beam and a noose placed about Woodward’s neck. :
Then somebody gave the condemned man a push, forcing him on tothe trap, and the rope began to tighten. Woodward gave a leap before the trap could be sprung and fell off the gallows, hanging himself. ! : While he was being dragged from the building Woodward attempted to talk to the mob, but the men declined to listen. The work from beginning to end was accomplished in almost perfect silence, except for the pleadings of the murderer. Before the drop Woodward began making an address, half talking, half praying. He'said: “Boys, let me kneel and pray. I want to pray for all of you and send a message to my blessed little wife. I love her dearly and want you to tell her that. I pray that you will have the papers print it. I pray for you, Charles Ricker, and for all of you. I never had a grudge against Sheriff Ricker, never in God’s world. I never meant to shoot him. For God’s sake don’t choke me to death. Oh—" and then Woodward leaped off before the trap could be sprung. One of the lynchers pinned to the dead man’s clothing a card bearing the following words: “Process of law is a little too slow, so this is the road vou will have to go. Murderers and thieves beware.—People’s verdict.” Story of Woodward’s Crime,
The crime for which Charles Francis Woodward paid the penalty with his life was committed on the evening of January 2 last at Woodward’s ranch, near Garfield Peak in the Rattlesnake mountains, 75 miles west of Casper, when he shot to death and mutiliated the body of Sheriff William C. Ricker, of Natrona county. . Woodward, with his wife Bertha, and brother Clarence, was arrested last November on the charge of stealing clothing and provisions from a ranch. It was alleged that Woodward's ranch was the headquarters of a band of cattle and horse thieves. ;
At the preliminary trial Bertha Woodward was released from custody. The brothers were held to the district court, but were unable to furnish bonds. On the night of December 30, 1901, they sawed off the bars of their cells and a window and got away. At the stock yards east of town Charles Woodward secured a pistol which had been placed there by a friend.. Near Casper he stole a horse and rode to his ranch, reaching there on the evening of January 2, 1902. Instead of finding friends ready to assist him, he found Sheriff Ricker and two deputies at the house, who were looking for him. He went to the barn, intending to abandon his horse and steal one of the officers’ animals. It was about seven o'clock in the evening and was quite dark. He mounted cne of the sheriff's horses and was ready to ride away when the sheriff came out of the house and approaching the barn ordered him to surrender. Woodward instantly shot the sheriff through the body and the officer fell to the ground, mortally wounded. Woodward then, it is said, went to the dying man and struck him in the face with his six-shooter. He took $45 out of the officer’s pockets and rode off. He was captured by a posse sev-. eral weeks afterward near Billings, Mont., and brought back to Casper. He admitted the killing and was convicted and sentenced to hang Friday. Last Tuesday the supreme court granted a stay of execution which would have given Woodward at least three months more of life. ; J:

_Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent Knight Templar, is well known in every city in the United States west of Buffalo, N. Y., as a Jeweler's Auctioneer. In the city of Chicago as a prominent lodge man, being a member of the K. T.’s and also of the Masons. The cut shows Colonel Moody in the costume of the Oriental Consistory Masons, 32nd degree. ] In a recent letter from 5900 Michigan avenue, Chicago, 111., Mr. Moody says the following:
«« For over twenty-five years I ‘ suffered from catarrh, and for over ten years [ suffered from caiarrh of the stomach terribly. «I have taken all kinds of medicines and have been treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware in different parts of the U.ited States, where I have traveled, but my relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago I started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years. _ ««The soreness has left my stomach entirely and I am free from indigestion anddyspepsia and will say to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don’t put it off and suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be if you persevere. : - “My wife, as'many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The sore-: ness has left her lungs and she is as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. - Yours very truly, é T. P Moody.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy has. been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during ,the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the subject.- To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is catarrh. If one were to make a list of the different names that have been applied to catarrh in different locations and organs, the result would be asténishing. We have often published a partial list of these names, and the surprise
