5 «>ur <»kl home,” said the Texan, and at the
same time extr.tr-ted from hkqTorket-bfTuk two
badges, the first being a narrow’ piece of white
silk ribbon, on which was printed the words:
“ Bexar Delegation,” and the other a piece
of deep bine ribbon about an
iikch and a half wide by five
im-hca long, on whic.h was printed the words,
“T<-xas and Freedom.” When Parsons re
cci •.<•<!• them through the iron grating he j ros
ed them t<» his bozom and said. “God bless
Texas ana you, my good friend, for bringing
i these mementoes to me. There isn’t a liberty
‘ loving man on the American soil to-day whose
. face do«-.s not flush with shame when he thinks
of the decisions of the various courts of jus
j tiro in condemning me and my com
rades to death. It is an outrage
upon the manhood of America; a shame
ami a disgrace to a civilized world, i have
done nothing for which any man of honor
should feel ashamed. I have offended against
no laws of my country. I am condemned to
death for exercising the privileges of an Amer
ican citizen, for exercising free speech, as guar
anteed to<*very citizen of tho United States by
the federal constitution.”
“ Will you not allow’your friends to plead for
ex tcuti ve c1 e men cy ? ”
“ Why should my friends beg for mercy? I
have committed no crime. If f wore to ask
executive clemency that would be as much as
saying that I am guilty of thocharge for which
lam to pay the death penalty. I have no ap
peal to make to the governor, for I am not
guilty as charged. The decisions of the highest
coin is show that the common wage earners
m <-I expect n > mercy at their hands. When
justice cannot be nmi.ed out where justice is
due, then there is no hope for mercy from
th" c who are tho mere tools of the capitalists,
who are crying for my blood and the blood of
my comrades. ‘'Texas and Freedom!’
Oh, w hat cheering words to a man in my
p ■ ition. Would that all my friends in tho
• Lone Star state’ could realize the present con
dition of him who was once one of their hon
ored citizens! If the question of this judicial
murder w<*re nlacml to a popular vote of the
American people today nine-tenths of them
« uld say: ‘Do no murder on those men.
'I ar** the true friends of lalnir, the sincere
ii irmls of equid rights to all men, regardless of
U' i!?h.’ \ es, the s'-ntencc will be executed,
ami I will die upon the scaffold, an innocent
man.
“I’uturo generations will not judge me and
my comrades as murderers, nor do the Ameri
can people today think we deserve the extreme
penalty of the law.”
A -aln pressing tho badges to his heart, Par
sons aid: “Texasand freedom w ill follow me
to the scaffold. Good-bye, my friend ; wo may
rn-vor meet again,” and with this he protruded
hi ; linger through the imn grating, and with
hi; ( \cs filled with tears ho parte d from the
irii-nd to w hom he had so frankly conversed
for about half an hour. He w’as visibly af

Texas friends was mentioned, and par*icnlarly
cautioned his visitor to say good-bye to all who
remembered him.
Til I’. AMNESTY QI ESTION.
Si’HiNOFJELD, 111., November (>.—Governor
Oglesby’s mail in the anarchist case was larger
this morning than ever before. Thegreater
part of these wore from Chicago, and<«uvernor
Ogh‘sby this afternoon informed the asso
ciated press representative that while
there were many demands that
the sentence be carried out, the proportion of
tho requests for commutation |were decidedly
larger than on any previous day. As a matter
of fact, said the governor, tho pleas fur clem
ency have always been somewhat greater than
tho requests for non-interference, but this
morning the proportion was somewhat greater
than usual.
Governor Oglesby, upon being asked by the
reporter whether he had had any callers to
day, said:
“No, 1 have seen no one today. I have
spent nearly the w hole day at home and have
been very busy. Delegations, I presume, will
begin to come in tomorrow and next day, and
when they do I purpose to receive them all in
the reception room at the capitol. Everybody’
w ill be accorded a patient hearing, ami the
case will be iinally disposed of just as all other
ca es of like character have been in the past.”
Numerous telegrams have been received by
tho governor, (luring the day, most of them
from Chicago. Their tenor cannot be learned,
other than that one of them was from a promi
nent Chicago capitalist, who favors executive
clemency. There is little doubt that the gov
ernor is, at this time, receiving communica
tions from an unusually large number of mon
eyed men of the country, who recommend
a commutation of the sentence.
Some of these gentlemen waive
all questions as to the law’ and justice of ihe
c.i e. ami simply favor eleim ncy on grounds of
public policy, insisting that it is better to send
the condemned men to tho penitentiary for life
than it is to allow them to become professed
inarty rs by suffering the death penalty.
'DIE GOVERNOR HEA.RH THE NEWS.
Governor Oglesby was thunder struck when
be received the news tonight of the finding of
tho bombs in l.ingg’s cell. He read and reread
the dispatch, and a (-loud of gloom and mu
imy swept over his face, as the full import us
the information dawned upon him.
“I can say nothing,” said he tothoassociated
pre s representative, “I must say nothing
w h.itevei- in regard to this matter.”
it has just transpired tonight that Governor
Oglesby has, within the past few’ days, receiv
ed several communications threatening vio
lence if he refus' s to exercise executive clem
ency in behalf us the condemned anarchists.

AWAITING THE DECISION.
Grounds on Which the Supreme Court Is
A >kcd to I.'pset State Prohibition Laws.
Washington, November 6.—Now that the
anarchist case has been disposed of by the su
preme court, the cases of greatest interest upon
which its decision is awaited at present are
the Bell telephone case and the pfohibition
cases from Kansas and lowa. Those who hope
to see tlie supreme court decide against the
prohibition statutes, manifest singular con
fidence in a satisfactory outcome, A
gentleman, who is well informed re
garding the cases which have been submit
ted to the court, gives an interesting explana
tion of the reasons for tliis confidence of the
anti-prohibitionists. It appears they believe
the supreme court has already given evidence,
in a decision rendered last year, that at least
half of its members are ready to sustain the
point made against the constitutionality of the
Kansas and lowa statutes, in the case of
Schmidt against Cobb [reported iu volume 119,
page 28(1, of the supreme court reports,] precise
ly the same principle presented iu tho pending
Kansas cases were before the supreme court,
Tho case camo up from the United States
circuit court for the northern district of
lowa, the question before the supreme court
being whether or not the circuit had erred in
refusing to remove the original case, begun
in the Irnva state courts, to the United Stab s
court. Schmidt was a retail liquor seller,
proceeded against under the lowa statute,
and he sought to remove liis case to tho
United States court under tho fourteenth
amendment, on the ground that lie was about
to be deprived ot his property without duo pro
cess of law. The court, after a full hearing of
the case, however, remanded it to the
state courts upon the ground that there was no
federal question involved, Schmidt then took
his appeal to tho supreme court, and after a
fiiil'hcaring the court affirmed tho decree
below, by a divided bench.
The anti-prohibitionists construe this action
of the supreme court—although the case of
Schmidt vs. Cobb was not heard upon its mer
its—as indicating that four members of the
court believed the lowa statute unconstitu
tional in destroying tho business of a retail
liquor seller, w ithout providing a means of
compensating liim for the damage suffered.
They think the principle presented in two of
tiie eases since then—brought up from Kan
sas and submitted to tho supremo court before
tlie close of its last term—present the same
principle so mm h more strongly that a favora
ble decision this time is certain.
Tlie situation is this: The Schmidt case was
heard in lowa by Judge Brewer, upon tlie ap
plication for removal, ami remanded to the
state court upon the ground that a retail liquor
seller does business only by the license of
the state, and that such a license can unques
tionably be revoked at will. later, tlie case
ot Herman Ziebold and Joseph Hagelin, Kan
sas brewers, camo before Judge Brewer, upon
a similar application for removal from the
Kansas state courts. Upon a hearing of the
application the removal was ordered, a plea in
abatement made by the state, that no federal
question was presented, being overruled.
Judge Brewer then tried the case upon its
merits, tlie state having renewed its prayer
to have the brewery shut up as a nuisance,
and, after a full hearing, dismissed the state’s
bill. An appeal was then taken on the part of
the state to the supremo court of the United
States.
I u his decision npor. tlie Ziebold and llage
lin case Judge Brewer, following tho line of
his reasoning in the lowa case, decided that
wliilo the state could prevent the sale of liq
uor, which was a mere privilege granted by
license, it could not similarly put a stop to tho
manufacture of liquor which was canned on
as a matter of right; or, at least, could not do
so, without providing proper compensation for
tlio datnago suffered. Tho ami-prohibi
tionists now sav that even if the
.supremo court should divide again, as it
did before, they will S"Curo a victory this time,
as a divided court would again affirm the de
cision of Judge Brewer, which was, in this
case, against tho stato statute. They are
hopeful, however, that some of the judges w ho
could not hold tho destruction of a liquor
seller’s business a violation of article 14, w ill
take a different view as to the destruction of a
liquor manufacturer’s business. In other
words, they rest all their hopes on the distinc
tion between tlie one doing business and tlio
other by right.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.
Dangerous Illness of the Crimea's Noble
Heroine.
London, October 29.—The world may soon
hear of the death of that great-heated English
. ..he.rpine t .Eloreiifio Nightingale. Though mtn
tally as brilliant as she ever was in her better
days, she has never been physically sound since
she was prostrated by a severe fever in 1830,
while nursinng the Crimea’s wounded soldiers
wounded soldiers in the hospital on the Bos
phorus. For years she has maintained lier
Courage against great odds, hut tlie struggle is
nearly over. Her long and beneficent life is
drawing to a close.
The Right Honorable Sir Harry Varney, the
well known nopLew of Miss Nightingale, tells
me that his beloved and honored relative is
critically ill and has lang been confined a pris
oner in her home at No. 10 South street, Park
Lane. She is dying from the direct conse
quences of the fever contracted in the Crimea.
It is a genal failing of tho system, a wasting
away from the effects of her perilous labors
during the days in which she devoted her life
to the soldiers wounded in battle.
And vet Miss Nightingale, though very much
of a suiferer at times, is remarkably patient
through it all, and gives the few friends who
are allow to see her an example of Christian
fortitude quite as remarkable as her courageous
charity and benevolence in the past. Her home
in Park Lane is handsomely furnished, and
contains countless rare and valable gifts pre
sented to her by her admirers after her return
from the Crimean war. There are also innu
merable letters from people of prominence the
world over, and various mementoes of her
friendship with the conspicuous characters in
Europe and America who have been proud of
their acquaintance with this remarkable wo
man. These testimonials of tlie reverence in
w hich the whole world holds her are very
precious to the venerable lady, but more for
tho sake of the givers than from any feeling of
pride. She is modesty itself.
Her intimate friendships have been illustri
ous. Her natural hatred of wrong and tyranny
led Miss Nightingale to espouse tho cause of
right and progress. During the civil war in
America her sympathies were warmly with tlio
northern side in the struggle, and in the long
contest which has been going on for the liber
ation of Ireland, her active sympathies have
gone out to the home rule cause. John Bright,
Gladstone and all the liberal leaders of Eng
land have long been her ardent friends. She
is a great admirer of America and its institu
tions, believing firmly in the theory of self-gov
ernment. For many years she was on the
closest terms of friendship with Henry Ward
Beecher, and nothing for a long time so affect
ed the venerable lady as the news of his death.
The character of Abraham Lincoln she regards
as one of the grandest in history.
It is but natural therefore, that no [tributes
to Florence Nightingale’s worth have been
more eloquent than those which have come
from America. The late President Garfield
once said in addressing a class of young ladies:
“Emulate the example of Florence Nightin
gale that charity angel of modern times, whose
fair and historic name is enshrined in the
hearts of all mankind, for ages yet unborn will
sing the glory of her proud renown.’’ Equally
eloquent Irave been the praises of Abraham
Lincoln, Henry Ward Beecher, George D.
Prentice, Mr. Talmage, Helen Hunt Jackson,
ami scores of others.
When this eminent lady passes from earth
England would not consent to her remains
resting anywhere but in the nation’s pantheon,
Westminister Abby. Not only would England
demand this honor for tlie Crimea’s heroine;
but. England’s queen, who has always treated
her with marked consideration andtrue friend
ship, would order it done. And there is little
doubt that Miss Nightingale’s learned friend,
Canon Farra, would conduct the public serv
ices. This is tho only proper resting place for
one who lias filled such a place in tho
worshipful regard of not only England, but the
world. The poor and distressed thousands of
this crowded city will lose their truest friend
and benefactor when Florence Nightingale is
dead.
Her life has been a wonderful chapter of
self-sacrifice. She was born in Florence, Italy,
May 3,1820, and carefully educated by her
father, William Nightingale of Lea Hurst,
Derbyshire, England. For many patient years
she trained herself in the hospitals of England
and Germany for the duties of attending on
the sirk, but it was not till 1854 that the great
mission of her life appeared to open before her.
The hospitals of tlie Crimea, to which Briton’s
brave men were removed from the battlefields,
were horribly managed. Something had to bo
done, ami I he courageous Florence Nightingale
undertook the task. With a corps of trained
women she wont boldly to the front, where her
talent and energy soon brought order out of
chaos and brought her the undying blessings of
the sick and wounded, and gained her a fame
that will never grow dim.
With her usual benevolence she offered to
charity the magnificent fund ot £30,000 which
grateful England raised as a reward for serv
ices. But she still lias the gorgeous cross set
w ith diamonds which the queen sent her, and
the bracelets set with brilliants that was pre
sented by tho Sultan of Turkey. For many
years her health has made it impossible for
Miss Nightingale to take an active part in
deeds of charity, but she has wiitten much and
taught others how to carry out her benevolent
plans.
One of the most beautiful and touching
things in Miss Nightingale’s busy life has been
her intimacy with Jenny Lind. Though be
ginning their missions in widely different
spheres, these two great spirits have been
drawn together bv the loadstone of benevo
lence, and pursued their charitable career hand
in hand. It was nearly the same time when
Florence Nightingale started to nurse the
wounded in the Crimean war that Jenny Lind
loft to charm America with her ■wonderful
voice. After years of unobtrusive charities,
Jenny Lind, hopelessly paralyzed, is awaiting
the approach of death, while her illustrious
friend, the great exemplar of organized public
benevolence, is sinking to her last sleep. There
is but one year’s difference iu their ages, and
both will probably bo consigned to eternity to
gether, as they have loved and acted together
in their beautiful and historic lives.

What Did It?
It often happens that, when we have been
doctoring for a new ailment, to our surprise
some old complaint suddenly disappears, and
we are at a loss to account for it. Wo cannot
say whether it was tho medicine we had taken
or whether it was the change produced in us
bv the effort nature made to cast off our
disease, ami by the old of some medicine reach
ing the nerve centres and thus revitalizing tho
svsteni. Tlie following are two very remark
able cases, that seem almost wonderful to be
true:
The first is from Mrs. Sarah Fisher, of
Fishertown, Indian Territory, dated January
21, 1886:
“I have completely recovered from erysipelas
and rheumatism by the use of your Compound
Oxygen Treatment. I threw away mycrutclies
three months ago—and now can walk as well
as any one. We have a large store here, and
do a great deal of business, and some days they
get so pushed that I have to go in and help.
The people are all surprised to see me looking
so well, after being so low and crippled. I toll
them Compound Oxygen did it for me.”
The following statement is by a mother, who
writes from Plainfield, New Jersey, about her
child, who has not yet finished her growth :
• We have tried Compound Oxygen with
good results, wo think, iu tho case of our
daughter. For four years the right litnb was
shorter than the other, and xve had to have her
wear a cork shoe. Within two weeks past we
have found tho limbs at the feet to be of the
same length : have bought tho ordinary shoes,
and she walks as well and even better than
during tho latter part of her wearing tho high
shoes.' Whether this is a direct result of the
Compound Oxygen I cannot say; but it certain
ly looks to be. Her general health is so much
iinproved from the autumn, when she began
the Treatment. I desire to continue it, and
trust to see even greater results. 1 request
you. therefore, to send at your earliest con
venience a second course of your Homo Treat
ment.” , , .
