Weyler's procedure as a suppresser of insurrection was very simple and ery ator to Weyler, says the Chronicle Telegraph. “It is ; true 1 bad many people shot,” said the butcher, yesterday at Corunna, ‘but before beginning to shoot I offered fall pardons, which the Insurgents refused.” Weyler was death. The inrgeats preferred to die rather than to live in servitude to tyrannical Spain and her tyrannical governors. Their spirit was the same which caused Patrick Henry to cry, “1 know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me lib- erty or give me death!” The liberty. loving citizens of the United States cannot help sympathizing with a strug. sling people who have had to contend ~ such a barbarian as Weyler, a Tue vEW jail racket is being worked in Clearfield county again. RAILROAD AIR BRAKES Although the law of 1583 obliging railroads subject to the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission to equip their freight cars and locomotives with automatic brakes and car couplers is to become opersti tive on January 1, many of the roads have not complied with the provisions of the law. The commission is authorized ander the act to grant to railroads applying therefor an extension of time within which to comply with ite provisions, and it is going to give a hearing to such rail- roads on December 1. Out of 436 roads reporting to the commission 75 roads, or 17.20 per cent., will be equipped with automatic conplers by January 1 Sixty railroads, or about 14 per cent, will be equipped with train brakes by the same date, and out of 517 roads 96 per cent., will be provided with power driving-wheel brakes on locomotives. id You Fver Know 1° “Reyveral weeks ago in London,” said an English tourist, “1 was standing be. side an American acquaintance, when I expressed a wish to know which point was north. He pulied ont a watch, looked at it, and pointed ont the right direction. [| asked him whether he had a compass attached to hin watch. ‘All watches are com passes.” he replied. Then he explained to me how this was. Paint the hour hand to the sun, and the soath is exactly half way between the hour and the figure XH onthe dial. For instance, sap pose it is 4 o'clock. Point the band indicating 4 to the sun, and IL on the witch is exactly south. Sappose again that it is 8 o'clock. Point the hand indicating § to the sun and the fignre X. on the dial is dae sonth. My Amer. jenn friend seemed surprised that 1 did not know this, and not wanting to be left alone in my ignormnte | asked Henry M.
