As the day was breaking the pris on governor and his staff made their way to the cell of Constant Troustat, and were considerably surprised to find the condemned man already op and busy at bis toilet Worthy M. Blaviot thought it none the less his duty to preserve a countenance fitting tbe oc casion. ' 1 Courage, Troustat," said he in a solemn voice. "Your plea Is rejected." jokingly re s ponded the condemned man. "Now, lsten to me, Mr. Governor; if this U all you have come to tell me at this early hour, allow' me to say you have got up too late even for thatHe pointed -to the lofty, narrow win dow from -which came a muttering, as measureless and confused as the noise ot tbe sea Its three hours since I heard them," he said. "Then I said to myself, 'Old fellow, its for today." Come," murmured M. Blaviot, Just a little put out. "I see you are taking things well." . The priest- stepped forward. "My child," said he, "so praisewor thy a resignation makes me hopeful." "What, what! Stow that nonsense." replied the condemned man. My duty Is to accompany you to the foot of the scaffold," said AbbeCoillard, quietly. "Of course, my child, you may refuse the consolation" hTceon80lations" cried Troustat 'But its the happiest day of my life: Listen a bit." M. Blaviot drew out his watch. "Troustat said he, "our time is up." "And mine, too. then." said the con demned man. 'Perhaps you are going to tell me the gallery is getting im patient; but they'lll lose nothing by waiting. I'm going to show them how a man died for a great crime; for bear in mind, I'm no pick pocket or area sneak. If I did strangle Father and Mother Drapier and their daughter and their servant it was at least for a good motive. I had stolen enough to enable me to live nicely all my days, and had they not wakened anyhow, if I missed a fortune, glory Is eft me. Yes, thats it, glory," pur sued the condemend man in a voice of exaltation. 'I'm as fambus as Rostana. Dufayal, Potin and Sarah Bernhardt. I've my picture on the front page of all the newspapers." Troustat," interrupted M. Blaviot, 'it's daylight now, and there are cer tain toilet formalities to attend to. Have a last request to make?" The condemned man smiled cun ningly. Well, I wish to learn English, but I believe that is an old story. Then, I would like to see 'Chanticler. But since we are in the provinces" He placed his foot on the edgo of his couch to finish lacing his shoes. I'm glad," he went on, "I'm not In Paris, where they smother executions. Here, at least But Just listen to their roaring. There must be 10,000 of the. All Chandon-on-the-Loire is there," said M. Blaviot anxious to give the condemned man one last morsel of joy. Troustat's small green eyes blaze! with a flash of pride. He raised him self erect and expanded his brawny chest. That's an audience for you." he said. "Instead of dying old and feeble, I'm going away at twenty-eight, amid the acclamations of an Immense throng." While he was being bound by tho warders, Troustat showed a sparkling wit; he engaged in a lively and anl mated discussion on the secret of tbe confession; he cited Leo Taxil; he risk ed a few witty Jokes, and expressed, in pointed term, in a rather special vocabulary, the regret he felt at not being able to love all the pretty women who thought of him at that pre cise moment When he had swallowed his last mouthful of absinthe which one of his goalers held to his lips, his hands al ready being bound behind his back, he rose gaily and gave the signal to start. "Go on." he said. "At the same time would like to walk without anyone holding my arms." The cortege traversed long, damp corridors, a small court was crossed; then the prison gate opened, and the square swarming with people confronted them. Banked back by the troops, a human wave overflowed Into the neighboring streets: balconies. roofs, tops of walls, trees, lampposts, all were dotted with eager eyes and tense faces. Nimbly Troustat climb ed the scaffold steps, pushing away with a blow of bis shoulder the priest who sought to conceal the guillotine from him. "Stand aside, M. le.Cure. They dont see me, he said. His apparition was saluted with yells He bent proudly between his warders and .bowed to the populace. Then, of a sudden, there was an ava lanche of applause. Troustat knew the delicious joy of the ovation, this vol uptuousness of immediate and pres ent glory which makes tenors and or ators weep. The whole crowd was shouting; the men brandishing their hats; the women waving their handkerchiefs. The warders themselves had stepped aside as if overcome by a sudden respect, and the executant of the high duties appeared to forget his work. 4 " Troustat thought the hour had come to pronounce a few farewell words. "It is too much," be cried; "you are too kind" A curious, regular buzzing drowned his voice. It seemed to him that wing was touching his threatened neaa, ana, perceiving everyone was looking skyward, he raised his eyes, and saw at last the aeroplane, the graceful and light monoplane, which had just risen very high in the clear sky above the prison. Then Troustat understood the noth ingness of glory and that the ovation naa given to tne aviator. He con ceived a mortal disbust for his con temporaries, and especially for the aviator. 1 This low rascal," he hissed. "He's spoiling my exit from the scene.1 Meanwhile the great whitewinged

New York Unique Court Ruling

(Palladium -Special) New York, July 30. One of the most momentous judicial decisions on rec ord was given the other day by Magistrate Naumer in the Flatbush court. Brooklyn. It Involved the all-impor tant question whether teething babies have the legal right to express their ' feelings of pain and discomfort by howling, yelling, or in any other man-1 ner they may seem to consider effect-' ive. What brought the matter beforo the august tribunal of Magistrate Nau mer and led to this decision was a quarrel between two neighbors in Flatbush over the daily and nightly dem onstrations of displeasure with which the baby of one party disturbed the peace and rest of the other. The learn ed court ruled that was well within the old Roman, the English common, the revised, or unrevised statutes, the city ordinances, Magna Charta, or even the plain or common variety of law for any baby In Flatbush or elsewhere in Brooklyn, to howl and yowl and rip up the palpitating silence of the night and turn it inside out while its the baby's "toofens" are pushing themselves out as a protest against a con tinuous milk diet. The court also ruled that this decision applies to both boy and girl babies. The case created considerable interest in baby blessed Flatbush and throughout Brooklyn and the court room was crowded with mothers, who were wait ing the outcome of the trial with in tense interest. They broke into en thusiastic cheers when Magistrate Naumer gave his decision, vindicating beyond dispute the inalienable right of babies to howl. New York is to have a new hotel costing with the land and building about $3,000,000. The new hotel which is intended to afford accommod ations to visiting merchants and business men, is to be erected on the east side of Greenwich Btreet, between Cedar and Liberty streets in the lower part of Manhattan and will be the first arge hotel of its kind in that part of the city. In the syndicate which is about to embark in this venture. are several English capitalists and Amer ican financiers who are also interest ed in the new Greeley Square hotel project and the proposed Pennsylvania Terminal hotel. The house Is to be conducted after the plan of two similar hotels which were built in London five years ago and have been highly successful. The first steps toward the realiza tion of the long contemplated project of building a bridge across Hudson river between New York City and the New Jersey shore were taken the oth er day when test borings were begun opposite West 179th street on the New Jersey shore about one mile north of Fort Lee. The borings are made to determine whether the ground at that particular place is suitable to bear the enormous weight of the land pier of the proposed bridge. Borings will also be made opposite 109th street, another site considered suitable for the proposed bridge. The site at 179th street is said to offer the best advantages because at that point the river is very narrow and the land on both sides o'f the river drop sharply to tidewater. It Is expected that the bridge will cost more than $10,000,000.

Troustat perceived Nhis public was leaving him. "Cltiiens7' he shouted. But the warders had regained pos session of themselves and of their pris oner. In less time than it takes to ten Troustat was stretched on the ground his full length, a length which was about to be shortened. In a voice which made the guillotine ring again, he managed to cry out "You are a set Of " ; But the sword of Justice cut short his speech.

from the Island to Manhattan and back again the war department has a! ways maintained a ferry service be tween the Battery and Governor's Is land. ' For many years the ferryboat Hancock served as the means ot com munication. but finally it became so dilapidated that a new boat, the Gen. Otis was placed in service. The Otis was . designed by the experts in the quartermaster general s aepartment 01 the army and it was expected that it would be a model for a craft of its kind. Results proved, however, that the Gen. Otis did not come up to ex pectations. The boat displayed a re markable tendency to ship water no matter how calm the water in thebay might be and its wheel worked so hard that It took two sturdy pilots to handle it. Many of the officers and their wives received drenchings while crossing in the boat and several times the steering apparatus became so un manageable that the boat instead of landing at the Battery, swerved over to the Brooklyn shore. Now the old Hancock is to be patched up and put in service again, while the Gen. Otis which cost $S5,000 is to be remodeled. Soon there will be no excuse for the aristocratic patrons of the Waldorf-Astoria hotelto neglect their re ligious duties on Sunday. The man agement of the hotel is installing fine large pipe organ in the magnifi cent ball room and in the future serv ices will be held in the large hall on Sunday mornings. Conservative church members do not altogether approve of the idea to hold religious services on Sunday in the same hall which on oth er days is devoted to the rather friv olous use of dancing and feasting, but others rather favor the plan which promises to bring to church many per sons who would otherwise not go to church at all. The judge, the officials and lawyers and all the rest of the people in the Tombs court were greatly alarmed the other day during the hearing of the case against a prisoner, charged with grand larceny. The alarm was not due to the explosion of a bomb or in fernal machine, but by the fact that one of the officers dropped 'a package containing twelve alarm clocks, the alarms of which were set going by the shock. The frantic efforts of the off! cials to open the package and to stop the individual alarms from ringing caused considerable merriment in the court for some time. An old blind man led by a brightfaced lad of thirteen, both showing signs of extreme poverty, came to the children's bureau of the charities de partment tbe other day and told an unkisually pathetic story in a straight forward manner. The old man. blind since his early childhood, meagerly supported himself by soliciting alms on the streets. Several months- ago the boy showed kindness to him by helping him to cross the street and when tbe old man heard that the little fellow was an orphan and homeless he befriended the boy and shared his berth in the lodging house' and his frugal meals with him. But finding that he could not make enough to support both, he asked the authorities to take care of his little friend. The boy was sent to the Brace Farm school, at Valhalla, N. Y., and for the old man a place will be found in one one of the homes for the blind.

DOUBLING THE CORN YIELD. Every Fanner Can Breed Better Grain. Says Wisconsin Authority. If it la passible to increase tbe yield of corn f rum lea to thirty bushels per acre we aboutd ail De made aware ot that fact in tbe shortest possible rime, for it makes a great diRereoce to tbe farmer wbo is on bigb prl-ea land whether be is growing tbirty-bve bushels of corn jver acre or slsty. says Professor R. A. .Moore f tbe University of Wisconsin, writing In Karm and Fireside. A large portion of tbe advanced yield of corn tn Wisconsin has been brought about by using definite select , breeds of kiln dried ftrU l hut bast high energy and vitality. Better culture bag of course contributed to tbe result. We cannot emphasize too much the importance ot having seed corn growu In close proximity to where it in to be used. It usually takes several years" continual growing before corn becomes thoroughly acclimated to tbe surrounding environment ot soil and climate, and if a radical change ts made tbe corn will deteriorate. As far as posible every farmer after getting started with highly 'bred seed should grow and develop bis own seed from j'ar to year. His first efforts should he toward selecting for an ideal corn plant. He should bave in bis mind those special characteris tics be desires to perpetuate. Sucb SAB TO TBI BOW CORN BBtEDnNl.

Farm and Fireside, j ideal corn plants are to be found In bis general field. Their selection ts tbe first step in corn breeding. In order to do "this well the farmer should go through tbe tield. following definite rows, at a time wben tbe plant wtll show its general characteristics to tbe best possible advantage. This is usually wben tbe corn' is in tbe milk, as then tbe leaf, ear and stalk can be studied to good advantage. We should select a medium stalk wblcb puts out one good ear about three feet above tbe ground. The stalk should have numerous broad bealtby leaves. Wben the ideal stalk is found it should be marked so as to recognize tbe plant after tbe corn has ripened. After tbe first plant is found otber plants are selected that conform closely to tbe first selected stalk. In this way 200 or 300 stalks are marked, and after tbe corn is well ripened tbe ears from them are picked and husked.

These ears should be thorough ly cured and put away where mice will not molest them or where thev will not be subject to frequent variation tp temperature. The second step la corn breeding ts known as the ear to the row method of breeding. For this we use tbo ears selected the previous year. Tbo ears are tested for gertntnatloa and only tbe strongly germinating ears kept. Of these the butts and tips are rejected, and tbe middle two-tbtrds of the ear Is generally used. Ground should be selected upon which similar crops bnve been growu from year to year so that the soil will be Id a uniform condition. Each ear ts planted in a separate row until 50 or 100 ears are used. The hills are an equal distance apart, and tbe same number of kernels, usually three, are planted to the bill. The outcome Is astonishing. Some of the ears of corn planted bare the energy, vitality aud projected efflclency to produce as much as ten times tbe a mount of select seed corn that other sister ears are able to produce. The rows that are to be tbe heavy ylelders of good seed corn early become noticeable for tbe general uniformity which they hold throughout tbe entire row.. The nest year's seed corn sbonld bo secured from these blgb yielding rows, and It will transmit this special function of yield and perfection of ears to its progeny of the next year's crop. In some Instances every alternate row Is detnsseled, so as to pretent close fertilization, and tbe seed corn selected then from the detasseled rows. Good seed corn does not. of coarse, guarantee good crops, Poor soil poorly cared for wtll give a poor crop no matter how good tbe seed is. But using good seed you are sure good care will not be wasted by the failure of tbe seed in germinating or breeding rawer. - POPULAR EXCURSIONS Via C & 0.
