ling, at Youngstown, Ohio, for assault
ing and numbering little girl A woman
claiming to be his mother went on to
Youngstown from Canada, and fully
identified him as her son; but he refused
to acknowledge her, and declared that
he had appropriated the name of her
! son, whom he had met while travelling.
and for whom he had often been mis-
taken, SO striking was their resemblance
to one another, to conceal his own iden-
tity and preserve his fanily's name from
shame. Though he coldly repulsed the
woman, it was shrewdly suspected that
he was her son. and that he refused to
admit the relationship to avoid bringing
disgrace upon his friends. He was
hanged after an attempt at suicide by
inhaling gas and desperate struggle to
escape, begun, he avowed, with the in
tention of forcing his guards to kill him,
and his dying request was for permission
to ascend to the cupola of the jail and
view the surrounding country. The ro-
nance connected with his execution has
been revived by the arrival at Youngs-
town, a few days ago, of two handsome
and richly-dressed women, both Of them
young, who made pilgrimage TO the
murderer's grave in the Potter's Field,
and strewed it with flowers. The elder
of the two threw herself on the grave
and sobbed passionately, while the.
younger stood by, and, though weeping,
seemed more under control. A man
who had directed them to the spot then
approached and inquired whether they
had known Sterling. On theirsaying they
had, he inquired further whether they
were relatives, but this question they
evaded. Finding that the young man
was acquainted with the details of the
case they continued the conversation at
some length, the while weeping bitterly.
At the conclusion the elder of the two
cried, "Oh I would give my life to
God who made me if [ could be satisfied
that he was guilty" The women soon
after returned to the hotel, and later in
the same day left on the Atlantic and
Great Western railroad, having bought
tickets to Buffalo. Who or what they
were, or whence they came, is equally q
mystery. Cincinnati Commercial.
How to Cook the Thanksgiving Turkey.
Young housekeepers may find the fol-
lowing hints useful in preparing for the
Thanksgiving roast:
The turkey should be well singed and
freed from pin-feathers, and thor
oughly drawn by opening one side just
below the breast-bone. Be sure to take
everything out that is inside, not for
getting the parts lying between the ribs
and the "soul." Wipe dry, after wash
ing well in cold water. Then dip the
turkey two seconds into boiling water,
and Immediately two seconds into ice.
water. This will give it a very plump
appearance. Cut the neck off close to the
body, leave the skin longer, draw it over
the neck, and tie; also tie the legs
close to the side, having cut off the
first joint. Fasten the wings to
the sides with fine skewers, having cut
off the pinions. Put the gizzard, liver,
heart and neck to boil in quart of wa
ter; allow two and quarter hours to
roast turkey weighing ten pounds. II
