ATONED FOR HIS CRIME. I.. W, Melson, the Murderer, Kxecuted at Grants Pass. " Grant's Pass, July 5. Lemuel W. Melson was executed here today. He abandoned all hope yesterdav, and was taken into the Episcopal church and baptized by Rev. Isaac Dawson. He spent the day '. in reading and in writing letters, and was more oalm than any one else about the jail. He slept well last night and ate a hearty breakfast this morning. He refused to discuss the crime or his position, saying only when asked that he was innocent. He was very muoh affected by the church ceremonies and the sirging, and wept quietly. v , ; There was a great many people in town to witness the hanging. Sheriff Hiatt issued 100 invitations, and be sides those in the enclosed space the court-house yard is well filled. The board fence around the scaffold is so constructed that a good view of the pro ceedings can be had from the main yard and street. About 500 people wit nessed the execution. Rev. Dawson went into the jail at 8:45 this morning. "Melson made a full confession of the crime. Sheriff Hiatt had the death warrant at 9:40, and at 10:03 Rev. Dawson prayed his last prayer At 10:01 Sheriff Hiatt and his depu ties, with Melson, ascended the scaf fold. When asked if he had anything to say, Melson said: "I am guilty of killing Perry, and am sorry for it. May God have mercy on my guilty soul." Melson was perfectly composed and calm. He bid the sheriff good-bye, and at 10:13 the drop was sprung. Mel son's neck was broken and death was instantaneous. At 10:22 he was pro nounced" dead by the physicians and cut down. He will be buried in the pau per graveyard at the expense of the county. He wrote a long letter to his wife yesterday. Story of Melson's Crime. Grant's Pass, July 5. In ;March, 1896, Charles Perry disappeared from the Waldo copper mine, near Waldo, Or., where he was employed and was known to have had considerable money with him at the time. Inquiry by his friends for several months failed to dis close his wherabouts, and fearing that he had met with foul play, a search ing party was organized on August 25, and after two days' travel in. the Sis kyou mountains, the party found, the body of Perry in an old well near a de Berted mining claim. There was a bul let wound in the right side, and on the ground near by was shell from a 41 caliber Colt's revolver, whioh the bul let taken from the wound fitted. With this evidence the party ( returned to Crescent City, Cal. It was learned that while at the cop per mine Perry had often been told by L. W. Melson, his friend, of a fine mining prospeot between there and the coast in the Siskiyou mountains, and that Melson left the copper mine on the day of Perry's disappearance. He re turned next day and went to Crescent City Cal., saying that Perry had gone to Waldo. Melson began spending money freely, though previous to that time he was known to have been possessed of very limited means. It was also learned that Melson had sold a revolver which proved to be the one from whichthe bullet found in Perry's body had been fired. In his possession was also found a watch which proved to be Perry's. MelBon was plaoed under arrest at Crescent City, but . it was ascertained that the murder was committed in Ore gon, and the prisoner was brought to Grant's Pass, Or., for trial.' He was convicted and sentenced to death May 14, 1897. The evidence throughout the trial was conclusive "of Melson's guilt. .. Melson was about 42 years old, and came to the Paciflo coast from Ken tucky 12 years ago, locating in Clatsop oounty, Or. He went to Del Norte county, Cal., about four years ago, where he was married, and where he leaves a wife and two children. ; ' Melson's wife did not visit him dur ing his incarceration, and expressed 'no desire to see him, but wrote to him fre quently, saying that she was not sur prised at the verdict of the jury. She expressed very little sympathy for him, but requested him, if guilty, to never confess his crime on acoount of the children. Charles Perry, the victim, was 60 years of age, and came to the Paoifio coast two years ago from Connecticut, where his wife and seven children now reside. He was considered a sober and industrious man. Indians Drank Painkiller. Brainerd, Minn., July 5. Five In dians, including Chief Wee Sug, are dead at Malone's Point, on Mille Lacs lake, and several others are expected to die, as the result of drinking painkiller, hair oil and other preparations contain ing alcohol. Indian payment has been going on there, and the redskins gorged themselves with this stuff, which was bought from Malone's trading post. The Indian riders are scouring every part of the reservation to bring the band together, and serious trouble may result, as the redskins think Malone is to blame for the deaths. It has been computed that between 86,000,000 and 87,000,000 babies arrive 'each year. Ed hem Pasha Keslgns. London, July 5.

Some 18 years' ago the flock owners oi Australia, finding that there wast a fair market in England for canned nutton, determined to try the experiment of ex porting the . fresh-killed meat in a frozen state. Sheep which had been bred with a view to producing wool rather than for table use, did not at first find favor with the public, besides which an occasional breakdown in the refrigerating machinery often ren dered the experiment an expensive one for the shipper. New Zealand sheep were found to be of a muoh better quality, and by degrees difficulties were surmounted and prejudices overcome until New Zealand mutton has become as common an object in London , meat markets as the home-grown article. Owing to the difference in the seasons on the other Bide of the eauator, lambs are ready for export about Christmas time, so that they can be placed on the London market earlier in the season than those raised at home. The car casses are first cooled and then' slightly frozen on shore; they are then trans ferred to a dry chamber on board ship, where the temperature is steadily main tained at a few degrees below freezing. On their arrival in port . they . are again transferred to a cold-storage chamber and kept there until wanted. (MRS.

There are several wooden shoe fac tories in America. The Hollanders brought these durable foot coverings from the old country, and were long made sport of by the Irreverent. But the Americans have, within a few years, been coming to the conclusion that in adopting the wooden footwear the Dutch had pretty level heads. The shoes are especially desirable for work In laundries, breweries, and stables, as .well as on the farm when the ground Is wt. . They do not become saturated with moisture, never get out of shape like leather boots, and are surprisingly warm and comfortable, and In addi tion they are cheap, and will outlive several pairs of cowhide boots. The awkwardness of wearing the shoes eoon passes away, and when the wearer enters the house he kicks them off, for shoes or slippers of more grace ful build. Wooden shoes are made en tirely by hand. . Small, solid blocks of wood are first shaped like a shoe. They are then turned over to the borer, who with a . variety of Implements makes the hole, for the foot. He first bores a hole for the heel and then with what looks like an exaggerated cheese spoon works . his way toward the toe. Once started with augers, knives, scoops and 4erapers, the place for the foot Is rap Idly shaped. The workman often uses calipers and measures, so that one shoe of a pair shall be as near as possible the mate of the other. The shoe Is then sent to the drying room to remain a month, when the final touches are to give it the last scraping and the artistic finish. In this country, the wood used is basswood, as It is light, easy to work, durable and dry. Occasional or- 'ders are received for fancy shoes to be made of maple or walnut, and once an extra fine pair had a mahogany veneer. The shoes are especially adapted for wearing in wet places, and the demand for them Is steadily Increasing. The Sea Gall. The sea gull Is the scavenger of the ocean. It scours the surface of the sea near the shore and frequents har bors to seize on floating garbage, dead fish and other putrefying matter; and these birds have saved many a village and seaport town, round about which tneyhover, from plague and pestilence. Such being the services of the sea gull it Is a short-sighted policy that causes them to be ruthlessly killed by thousands, partly ( In idle sport, but principally that their wings may be used -.for.' millinery purposes., Thedr eggs are also; collected In enormous quantities for museums and for th shops of naturalists. v y lanernnge Lesson. ,' "Mamma, If I had a hat before I had this one It's right to say that's the hat I had had, isn't it?"

CHEAPEST POWER. 405-7 Sansome St.: San Francisco, Cal. Franklin's Bequest In Court. If Benjamin Franklin, one of the wisest of men, could have foreseen the difficulties and complications that have grown out of his famous bequest to the city of Boston of $5,000, more than 100 years ago, he would probably have can celled that part of the will, or at least made its provisions very different, re marks the Buffalo Commercial. The fund, which now amounts to $348,000, has been invested mainly as he direct ed. At the end of the first hundred years the prinoipal was to be laid out at the discretion of the managers of the donation to the town of Boston, "in public works which may be judged of most utility to the inhabitants, such as fortifications, bridges, aqueducts, pub lic buildings, baths, pavements, or whatever may make living in the town more convenient to its people and ren der it more agreeable to strangers re sorting thither for health or temporary residence." The money is in the Bos ton oity treasury, but it appears the municipal authorities and the trustees are at loggerheads as , to their respec tive powers, and also as to tBe method of its expenditure, and as a last resort the matter has been carried to the courts. An application is to be made tip the supreme court of Massachusetts to decide who has authority under the will to expend the money in one of the sev eral ways suggested by the testator. It is to be hoped a way out of the diffi culty will be found and that the fund will be used to establish the Franklin trades school, as has been proposed. It is one of the most remarkable legacies ever made, and the benevolent intent is plain endugh, though perhaps not ex pressed in sufficiently definite terms. , Buried the Wrong- Corpse. Fairplay describes the following as a true story: Lately an English family had the . misfortune to lose an aged nnt, whodied in St. Petersburg. Ar rangements were most carefully made and directions sent that the body should be forwarded to England to be interred in the family vault. In due time a magnificent coffin arrived and before it was lowered to its last resting place it was openrt for inspection. Much to the dismay of the family, instead of finding the familiar features and frail form of their beloved auiri, the corpse of a Russian offioer, clothed in military garments and decorated with ribbons and medals, was disclosed to view. A I f rantio telegram was dispatched to the Russian capital, to which the following answer was returned: "Lady, buried yesterday with military honors. Please keep the general.

HERCULES GAS ENGINE WORKS How Hawaii Is Pronounced. As we have now started on the road toward the annexation of Hawaii, it ia but natural that Americans should want to pronounce the name of the forthcoming new territory correctly; The correct pronunciation is "Ha-wi-e," the "a" Bounded as in "father," the "i" as in "time," and the "e" as in "we," the accent being on the seo ond syllable. It is well to know how the new territory is pronounced, says the Chicago Tribune, even before it en ters into the Union. :r 1 New Use for Sand Blast.
