What in the world does Betts do with them? Has he a secret gallows for the execution of rebellious politicians, or are the, weights used to work a trap door that lets unsuspecting victims through t into one of Lyons'a nunieioM^quagmires ? Or are they used'for exercisers by .the-etrong editors of the Republican? The first time -we are in Lyons an effort will be made to see just what those 250 pound gallows weights are used for.

We can return the favor by saying that the Mail is one of the three or four \best weeklies\ published in Central and Western New York.

Greene of Fairport spent a day in our office last week at our re- quest, to make suggestions regarding our type setting machine, which has not been giving satisfaction. We were glad to learn that the trouble was not with the machine.

Clttbs and Societies •w LYONS PRESBYTERY. Pal- Interesting Annual Session Held In myra Last Week. - Palmyra Journal. Lyons Presbytery held an interesting session, here Tuesday and yesterday, the gathering being the annual one, and hence of importance to the ministers and the laity in the loeal jurisdiction of the church. ThSs—Presbytery' opened\ with prayer by the retiring moderator, R>v. O. T. Shaw, of Wolcott. Following prayer there was a roll call and the election of a moderator, Rev. Carl W. Scovel, of Newark, being chosen to that office. Rev. Mr. Millard, of On- tario Center, was chosen as temporary -clerk. The-'-~glKtioh was followed by routine business and rfeports of various standing committees. A written report upon the American Bjble and Tract So- ciety was presented by Rev._ Matt, 'Gaft- ney, of Williamson; a report on Terrf- perance from the Rev. David B. Mc- Murdy,_of Sodas. Rev. Peter Mckenzie', of this village, reported upon \The Presbyterian Brother- hood,\ a comparatively new society which has for its object the bringing of the men of the church closer together and which society had 1,200 delegates at its convention at Indianapolis'last Novem- ber.^ Mr. ¥-SK?M'i?' s o 'eportedJOnthe' Ministerial Sustentation 'socie/ty, an or- ganization which provides for the in- surance of ministers from disability, in fact a pension fund for disabled ministers of the church. All these reports were read and adopted.- At i o'clock Tuesday afternoon there were devotional services at the Presby- terian church at which the communion of the Lord's Supper was administered by retiring moderator Shaw, assisted by Rev. Dr. L. A. Ostrander and Rev. Mr. Shaw. Rev. Thomas Melvin, of Marion, and Elder Cone, of Ontario, were elected as commissioners to the General Assembly whioh meets at Columbus, O., in May. A committee was also appointed to at- tend the funeral.of Rev. Halsey Stevenson at Auburn to-day. Mr. Stevenson is well known in Palmyra where he supplied, for several months, between the depart- ure of Rev. Mr. Cameron and the ar- rival of Rev. Mr. Mckenzie. • - The ladies of the local church enter- tained the visitors at dinner in the church Tuesday preceeding the excellent lecture given by Rev. James G. Dunlop, of Fukui, Japan. At the dinner. Rev. Mr. Mckenzie made an address of welcome and there were a number of responses to the various toasts which he proposed. A vote of thanks was tendered to the ladies nf the church and to the local members for the entertainment of those in attend- ance at the presbytery. At the Baptist church yesterday^ morn- ing,, the Woman's Presbyterial society met and\ listened to an address by Mrs. Ella Alexander Boole, secretary of the Women's Home Mission ary Board. This proved an highly in- teresting session. The ladies of-the Woman's Relief Corps gave a supper-in their hall Friday night to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of theT founding of the& society and to raise •money for the purppje, .of procuring markers' 'for the\loidiers graves, which are now marked with but a short stick. This Corps was founded April 12, 1887, with nineteen charter members. «Al- though the numbers were small at tbe foundation, through the faithful work of it's members the organization has grown to.a large, prosperous and faithful body of women, working for a good purpose. Throughout it's whole life, the aim of the ladies has been to make a useful and consistant expenditure of their money, only using it in places where it was deemed necessary. Mrs. Mary Vosburgh was elected the first president of the or- ganization and until her death, some years ago, was a faithful worker. No more worthy cause could be found tor the use of the money raised Friday night than tne buying of suitable markers for the graves of those who saved our nation from internal destruction.' The markers ase tabe of metal, in the shape of the Maltese Cross, with the letters G. A. R , in enamel. The Newark Amateur Rifle Club held it's weekly shoot in their gallery- Tues- day night. The scores \this week were not as good as in previous weeks and the medal went to L. H. Wheat with & score of 89 out of a possible_one hundred. The scores follow: E. B. Elliott, 83; L. S. Kelley, 82; Lynn Bryant, 85; Thomas Elliott, 85; L. H.4Fheat, 89. The following have been _elected offi- cers of Newark Legion No. 252 for the ensuing year: Past president, M. J.

He was taking, steers to Leadville and. had camped for the night on Bear river, hear its junction with the Little Snake. In the middle of the night something ciccurred to stampede the cattle.

THE GOMGO'S BIG CROCODILES. Most Dreaded of the Pests of Cen- tral Africa, On the giant rivers like the Nile and the Congo there are two serious pests, the one animal and \the other reptile.' The animal is the unwieldy hippopotamus, who is never so 'happy as when, he Is upsetting dugout ca- noes ot fisherman or warriors. It would seem as though he were in league with his sinister friend the crocodile, who is perhaps the most dreaded pest of central Africa,', The, Congo especially swarms with croco- diles; and many a night when the white mist settles at dusk on- the bosom of the stream, a sudden scream stockaded and fenced village, and a white man might drift down the stream and not suspect human habi- tations at all were it not for the gentle smoke wreaths, curling up among the giant cottonwoods. Toward evening a procession of women and girls make their way down to the enclosures with huge jars \up- on their heads or. under their, arms, much as you have seen In Bible pic- tures. 'They wade out Into the water, Suddenly one gives a gasp and a scream. A scaly head emerges from the brownish yellow fluid, and like a flash the victim is dragged under. The whirling eddies are tinged with crim- son and then all is still. The monster holds his victim under water for four or five minutes until every movement • has ceased. Then, the crocodile—he Is probably 18 feet in length—swims to the other side of the river, or at all events higher up past the village, lands with the body and proceeds to devour, it. After such ah-occurrence, says the. New York Sun, the white -man Is ap- pealed to, for native spears and bows and arrows are feeble weapons against the scaly hide of the monster. An expedition is arranged for the following day and watch Is carefully set. White helmeted missionary or government officials climb trees or .. MRSE TOLLED/' J- W. Chase's Delivery Horse Under West Shore Cars at East Avenue Crossing. An accident that came near claiming the lives of two delivery boys and a horse, happened Monday afternoon on tbe East avenue crossing of the West Shore a t four o'clock. William Newton, the driver of J. W. Chase'B grocery wagon, with Arthur Schultz, was taking a wagon, load of empty baked-goods cans to the West Shore freight house and when they came to the crossing the work train was pass- ing. Half the train had passed the crossing when the horse nearly came to a stop, with but a few feet between it's head and the train. With a sudden jump the animal leaped a t the passing cars and was hit on the right shoulder with the front end of the third car from the end of thetrainr - Both of the boys in the wagon tried with their united strength to pull the horse to the left but it was too late and it fell witb it's legs beneath the moving train, receiving another hard biow on the right hip. It seemed a miracle that the wagon was not tipped over and both the occupants hurled beneath the train, but the thills and sorae of the harness broke, letting the horse partly free from Jtae_wagon. An eye-witness said that when the horse jumped it looked as if it was tired of waiting for the train to pass and had decided to go over the high box cars. Word was sent_to. Chief Oolbnrn to come to the scene and kill the horse, but when he arrived there was more need corresponding-fur-Fink of Lyons, for the animal did not live very long. Although not in it's childhood days, the horse was just what was needed for the delivery business, and will prove a loss of about $160 to the owner.

Benson told his audience of a man to whom he offered a ticket for a performance of \A Midsummer Night's Dream;\ The offer -was' accepted in the words, \Well I don't mind if I do.\ The phrase Is not precisely what one might call an outburst of gratitude. Analyz- ed, Indeed, it Is extraordinarily rude. It is no more than a synonym for \Thank yon for nothing.\ But of course those who use the expression— and they are a large number—dp not stay to a'naiyie its •meaning, and the\ persons to whom • It is. addressed ac- cept\ it, If'they are wise, without af- front. It is merely another example of the slipshod style of speech that has become so common. We have substi- tuted \Thanks\, for \Thahk J you,\ yet even the latter would have, seemed abrupt, .and discourteous: to the more punctilious age that would have said, \I tliank you.\ The young lady of today, when she wishes to show ex- traordinary gratitude, rattles out, \Oh you're too good!\- It is spontaneous, no doubt, but it does notf^Gflrry quite the aIr_piJ!L protest you do overwhelm me with kindness.\—London Saturday Review.

Village Headsman Dealing Deativ Stroke tc a Crocodile. reaches the ears of missionary, trader, or white official, seated on the ver- anda of his bungalow.\ \ Only too well these men know what that sound means. Just outside the village, and on the bank of the river, are staked enclosures within which the women may do sucb washing aB is necessary, and hither, too, all mem- bers of the family resort fo? coolness rather than cleanliness. The sole purpose of- these enclosures Is to keep ont the crocodiles. But these hideous aw* artful creatures will push tbe wattles- or twigs to one side with powerful snout and jaw and crawl Inside the enclosure, there to lie la wait for some unsuspecting visitor. Women, perhaps, form the greatest number of victims, because they frequently go down to the river to draw water. Can you Imagine the scene at sun- set? The great river Sows silently by the village of huts, lost iu the prime- val jungle. Very queer and quaint the dwellings look, resembling big, brown mushrooms, rather than houses Here and there a hut Is perched In a treetop, and In It a savage sentinel keeps watch and guard over the vil- lage, lest the slatfe raiders come down burning and destroying and carrying off their children for the markets of the Mohammedan north It Is a coneeal themselves behind Innocent looking brushwood. Hours pass in silence, broken only by the scream of'parrots, the chatter- ing of monkeys or the thud, thud of the elephant pads in tbe swamp be- yond the cane brake. Suddenly with a swish and a swirl the head of the crocodile comes awash, and the rep- tile crawls cautiously forth. There Is a flash of flame from a rifle barrel, a sharp report and a nickel- coated bullet goes through' the oroco- dlle's eye and Into his brain. He Shiv- ers convulsively, turns partly over; two more flashes and then all is still. With a \joyous shout the relatives and friends of the victim leap out from concealment and fall upon the common enemy. They abuse the dead Crocodile with every harsh word In their vocabulary, beat him on -his -ar- mored back and curse him and his an- cestors for generations back. Then follows a curious ceremony. This is the cutting open bf the mon- ster. An amazing array of silver bracelets, necklaces and Ivory orna- ments is sometimes recovered in this way, showing that the crocodile had killed and eaten four or five men and women. These ornaments are return- ed to their proper owners In the vil- lage and the skin Is sold to the high- est bidder. CONNECTICUT CANINE A HERO. Catcrtes^unaway Horses and \Drives Them Back to Owner. Winsted, Conn.—Returning from Torrington the olher night, William Martinez, a cigar manufacturer, and his wife were thrown from their sleigh upon a snow bank when™ their horses took fright at an approaching train. ' Their spaniel dog, tied in the sleigh, broke loose and brought the runaways back to their'owners 15 minutes later. The .dog 0 had grabbed the dangling reins in its teeth,, turned the horses round, and jumped to the sleigh seat, where it sat with-the reins still in its mouth when the team was returned to Mr. and Mrs. Martinez. The home of the, late Helen M. Whitney, In West Sheffield, Mass^, was destroyed by fire, entailing a loss\ of $6,000, Charles Connell, superintend- ent of the Berkshire.

The room was filled with .smoke, and the Sra.hurned- fiercely. At first he was unable to move, and the dog tugged away at the bed clothing in an endeavor to arouse Its master. With considerable difficulty Connell groped his way to a window, which he forced opeu, and with the. dog crawled, out- He only saved four pieces of silver, wedding presents.

The plucky little. woman did not lose a moment. Having no red-petti- coat at.hand, she._seized a scarlet table cloth and waved' It frantically at the engineer. Pfaeffiin, who could also see her, unhitched his horses In record time. Edward Brennan, the engineer of the tram, was able to reduce his speed, but not to stop.
