John StenhotiBe had been in the position of
John Bowerbank, Mr. Kendal would have
gone down on his knees and wotshiped him;
I know he wou.d. As it was. he just kicked
him out of doors,”
“That was raiher uugentiemanly. ’
“1 don t mean literally. Mr. Kfen

Mrs. Smiles agreed; she generally
agreed in everything with everybody at the
time.
"Well, the poor voting fellow was dis
missed. Of course there was no help fol
it; the girl being under ago, the father had
the law in bis own hands. Nothing short
of an elopement, which no honorable mai
like John Stcnhonse would ever haw
dreamed of, could have saved poor Emily,
And then her money—‘her detestable
money,' as her lover called it more than
once. Every bit of honest pride in him
was galled and stung to the quick. ‘Her

I waffled her for her money,’ he used to
say; and sometimes this feeling was so

NUMBER 21
THE HANGING OF HAWES.
THE NOTED MURDERER PAYS THE PENALTY
OF HIS CRIME.
Dick Hawes tested the strength of a
five-eights sea wired rope at Birmingham,
ing Ala..Friday at 12 :3d o’clock. The hang¬
was the most sensational and interest¬
ing ever known in Alnbama, and will
make one of the most thrilling chapters
iu the criminal history of the state. By
nine o’clock a crowd of a thousand peo¬
ple had congregated about the jail, and
an army of policemen was on duty to
keep them at a safe distance. line Nc
one was allowed to pass that
of officers except those who had passes.
By 12 the crowd numbered near G.000.
At 11 o’clock. Deputy I.ockhart en¬
tered the jail and iaterrupted the deviv
tional exercises long enough to read the
death warrant. When the deputy in
formed Hawes of the object of his mis¬
sion, he -said: "Stand up. Dick.” Hawes him,
arose, and placing his hands behind
looked the Viflicer in the face. Then
Lockhart read the death warrant, llawes
heard it through without a tremor or
without moving a muscle. At a quarter
after twelve Ed Gritfin went upon the
scaffold, and adjusted the rope to iron the
beam. It was made tight by an
staple. Griffin is the man who built the
scaffold. Gritfin was a member of flu
jury tluit convicted Hawes. Griffin is
now one of Sheriff Smith’s deputies, and
helped to hang the man, whom he, as a
juror, said scaffold, should accompanied die. Hawes went
upon the by the
sheriff, a deputy, and the two ministers.
He walked with a firm step, There was
less trepidation about him than about
any of the one hundred men in the in¬
clusive, and it was apparent to all. Hi
nerve was remarkable, and those who#uw
him could not keep from admiring it.
THE PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS.
As he stepped to the front of the gal¬
lows, he moved his head to one side tc
avoid the rope. Then as lie stood at the
front of the gallows, Sheriff Smith,
standing beside him, said: “Dick, have
you anything to say?” Hawes raised his
right hand to his mouth, and gave his
momtache a twist. There was not a trem¬
or in the movement. Never in hi* life
did lie twist that beard with a quieter
nerve. Then looking over the crowd
cnmly he said: “I only want to say to
the congregation tlmt 1 have written out
a full statement of tliis -whole thing,
and it is a true one. I don’t Want
any man in the world to think
that died with a lie on my
lips. That is all I have to say.’
Hawes walked to the front of the scaf¬
fold, and Sheriff Smith adjusted the nope.
The prisoner was calm. There was no ex
citement about him. As tile sheriff raised
the cap, Hawes said: “I want you all to
shun wlifsky and vile women. I wish I
had.” The cap was adjusted, and
Hawes’s vision of those before him was
shut out forever. Just as the sheriff was
stepping buck to give the signal string, to. the
man in the basement to pull the stand
Hawes culled out: “Joe, let me
here a minute please.” His voice was
still ami steady, but it was muffled by
the black cap. The sheriff waited a
minute anil then began. “One—two
tliree.” As the word three was uttered
the string pulled, the trap droppe 1 and
Hawes’s body went up an inch or two,and
then settled again at the end of the rope.
It was 12:38 when the drop fell, and iu
fourteen minutes the doctors said he was
dead. The body was turned over to Mr.
Frank Hilbnrn, of Atlanta, and taken
home for burial.
THE WRITTEN STXTF.MKT.
The written statement Hawes has made
is supposed to be in tho hands of the
printers. It was written by Hawes, and
was given to Col. Taliaferro, his attor¬
ney, by whom it was, on Fri¬
day. surrendered by Hawes’s directions,
to some one to be printed in book form. his
The proceeds of the sales are to go to
boy. It consists of forty pages of his
life and sixteen pages of the crime.
Colonel Taliaferro has read it, and says
that it is the same story lie told on the

ference being iu reference to May. Of

SMALL DEALERS FORCED TO THE WALL B1
CO-OPERATIVE STORES.
A dispatch of Thursday from St. Jo¬
seph. Mo.,-says: During the last week
there lias been an unusually large numbei
of failures of small grocery firms and gen¬
eral dealers in Kansas; in fact the fail¬
ures have been so numerous as to at¬
tract the attention of the jobbing
trade, and an examinatioR has been
made into the cause of the seeming
epidemic of failures, The work waa
placed iu the hands of a mercantile agen¬
cy, and it was found that the Farmers -
Alliance was at the bottom of the trouble.
The alliance has adopted the co-operative together
store plan, and their trade,
with that of such outside custom as
they can influence, is thrown to the al¬
liance stores. The result of the estab¬
lishment of the alliance stores has been
painfully felt by the regular retail traders.
As a consequence many small dealers
have been forced to the wall and com
polled to make assignments.
