Norton, of the Maine State Prison, has just received from the manufactory a table-chair made from the drop of the old prison gallows which was used before capital punishment was abolished. The gallows drop was made of solid rock maple, with a pine top. the whole being thoroughly pui '.ogether with bolts. The old drop for many years had uecu lying auuui cnu louu auu moved from place to place. Warden Norton finally ordered it to be cut for firewood and it was thrown intc the refuse. The idea then came to him to have a chair made from it, and the work has just been finished. The chair is a combination seat and tabl^ after the old-fashioned chairs so well known 100 years ago. The five men who stood upon this drop when executed were: Lewis H. F. Wagner and John True Gordon, 1875, and Raffale Capone and Carmen Santore, and Daniel Williamson, in 1885.?Boston Herald.

The nervous system ot the musi lan is often very sensitive, aqd any habit like coffee drinking may so up. set the nerves as to make regular and necessary daily practice next to impossible. "1 practice rrom seven to eight hours a day and study Harmony two hours," writes a Mich, music student. "Last September I was so nervous 1 could only practice a few minutes at a time and mother said I would have to drop my music tor a year. "This was terribly discouraging, as 1 couldn't bear tbe thought ot losing a whole year ot study. Becoming convinced that my nervousness was caused largely by coffee, and seeing Postum so highiy spoken of, I decided 1 ^vould test it tor a while. "Mother followed the directions carefully and I thought I had never tasted such a delicious drink. Wc drank Postum every morning lnstca.1 of coffee, and by November l fell more like myself than tor years, and was ready to resume my music. "I now practice as usual, do my studying and when my day's work is finished I am not any more nervous than when 1 began. "1 cannot too highly recommend Postum to musicians w^o practice half a day. My father is a physician and recommends Postum to his patients.

Senate Committee Votes to Eliminate This Feature of Currency AleasI ure?Synopsis of Speech. Washington, D. C.?Congress was { electrified by the sudden elimination of the railroad bond feature from the | \ldrich Currency bill, and later by a i 'jitter attack on the measure by Senior Robert M. LaFoilette. of Wiscon! jin, in which he charged that it was fhe legislation most desired by the comparatively small clique which has j succeeded in dominating the finances of the country. The business of the N'ation, he declared, has gradually been centralized until it is directed by the men who control the New York banks, and these men number less than 100. j Aldrich's renunciation of the clause ' of his measure admitting railroad , bonds as a basis for the issuance of ! emergency currency occasioned astonishment. This "renunciation was made in committee just before the Senate met. Other minor conces, sions were made, but the railroad ! bond feature overshadowed everything else. At first it was believed 1 j that the action was taken to embari rass La Follette, whose address was understood to be leveled principally at this phase of the measure, i La Follette was late in rising to | Address the Senate. He declared that ' . the recent panic originated through | 1 the centralization of business in the ; . hands of a few men. These men, he i charged later, had plotted to bring about the panic to satisfy business, legislative and political grudges, and ' to advance their own selfish interests. "I have here a list of about 100 men," he said, waving a paper at the > Senate, "who control the industrial, financial o 11 rj rnnimprrial lifts nf thfl 1 American people. In the grasp of ; these 100 men is the destiny of the Republic. The country does not seem to realize how closely allied are the great banking houses of the money j centres to this centralization." Senator La Follette here read a list of the names of the men who coni trol the industrial and transportation , enterprises and the banks of the country. Continuing, he said: "No student of the economic changes in recent years can escape the conclusion that the ownership i and control of railroads, telegraph, : shipping, cable, telephone, traction, express, mining, iron, steel, coal, oil, gas, electric light, cotton, copper, sugar, tobacco, agricultural irnple! ments and the feed products are completely controlled and mainly owned by these men." i Less Than 100 Men Who Control Nation's Wealth.

House Passes Bill Putting Back "In Gotl We Trust." Change Made by Vole of 25.1 (n ."5?* Debate 011 Subject Excited Lively Interest. Washington, D. C.?Under suspension of the rules the House of Representatives passed the bill providing for the restoration of the motto "In Gpd We Trust" on the gold and silver coins of the United States. The bill was passed by a vote of 255 to 5. The debate on the subject excited the liveliest interest. Mr. Carlin, of Virginia, said that in the issuance of the order abolishing the motto President Roosevelt had acted unwisely and in violation of the spirit of the law. Ollie James, of Kentucky, declared that in the judgment of the Christian people of the United States, the President had made a great mistake. In opposing the bill, Mr. Kustermann, Wisconsin, said that the motto smacked of irreverence which went dangerously close to sacrilege. "It's a piece of farcical hypocrisy," ejaculated Mr. Gordon, of Georgia. RUBBER TRUST CUTS PAY. Hncinncc Pnneoc SillPG. i^iatnruui^ u uoim-o.i vituovw men to Suffer Reduction. New York City.?That the financial pauic has not failed to affect what are known as the hi? business interests is shown by the fact that the rubber goods industry of this country is facing a falling off in trade. The Rubber Trust is feeling the stress to such an extent that a reduction of wages has been planned. Recently orders were sent forth to the hundred or more of the Trust's retail and wholesale companies that expenses must be cut. Owing to the union rules and j agreements, wages to mechanics could not be cut, and the higher priced men alone will have their salaries reduced, j On April 1 the salesmen and clerks , of the rubber business in the East and the majority of those employed by firmi, in the West affiliated with the Trust will be forced to stand a reduction in salaries. The reduction will not be less than ten per cent., and in some cases will amount to twenty-five per cent. The men affected by the economical regime are indignant. SPERRY TO HEAD FLEET.

Russian Prisons Too Small. The Duma has been asked for $1,000,000 to enlarge Russian prisons, which are overcrowded. The number of prisoners has increased 111 per cent, since 1906. In January, 1908, the total number was 159,537, and in February 165,588, of whom 13,000 were political prisoners. A large number of death sentences were pronounced in various parts of Russia. The doomed men include ten robbers at Krementchug, four robbers at Kieff, three men wh6 attacked the postoffice at Proskuroff and three brigands at Lodz. ? omen iUaKe mayor ivai urmv. Mayor Leopold Markbreit, of Cincinnati, Ohio, extricated himself from an embarrassing predicament by surrendering under a shower of protests from women. He instructed the Chief ?f Police to keep women from acting as chauffeurs. This incensed the Susan B. Anthony Club, and they started up an agitation, as a result ol which every woman who owns an automobile, and a great many who dc not, personally and by mail protested against the Mayor's attitude.

In one place a razor was s found with Jeffs' initials on it. It is d the belief of the men on the Yankton e that the marooned sailor has been it picked up by some passing vessel.
