The Murderer of Zif Marks Pays the Pom
atty for His Terrible Crime.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, April 18.-The
{ xecution of Theo. Hoffman for the mur-
der of Zif Marks, Jewish peddler,
attracted large crowd, but only few
we're permitted to see the execution.
Hoffman slept soundly, last night, and
ate sparing]y, this morning. As the
hour Of execution approached, he began
to grow nervous, but when his spiritual
adviser arrived he seemed to derive some
consolation. The condemned. walked
firmly to the gallows with the minister.
Prayer was said, and the moose adjusted.
The rope was cut at 7:12 A. n. There
was scarcely struggle. Slight tremors
of the limbs took place, but there
were no contortions of the body.
He protested his innocence to the last,
but left letter addressed to the sheriff,
which reads as follows: cit is of no
use to think that I would make q con-
fession, for I have none to make. It is
of no use for me to speak of the injus-
tice done me. You have done your duty
and OF that you needn't be ashamed.
Time will tell you all, and there will be
no one to say that I have done them
wrong."> It closes with request that
the things he had left in his cell be de-
livered to his parents.

How the Prince Of Wales Looks.

fOive Logan's London Letter.]
The most powerful supporter Gen.
Baker has is his liege lord the Prince of
Wales, bat you know the old adage, qui
Sc ressembzent, s'assenablent. I saw
the heir apparent in q hanson this
morping-not q common hanson, you
understand own hanson, magnif-
icently appointed little affair, with such
beauty Of bit of gray horseaesh be-
tween the shafts. Dear me, how that
exquisite shapely brute did dance aboutl
The driver was light weight, good
looking young fellow, in the usual gray
livery Of the Wales. We always know
the Princess is coming when we see the
gray livery and the horses with the led
head. bands and red rosettes and we al
ways know the Prince is coming when We
see the gray livery without the red rib
bons. So, forewarned forearmed, We
have time to stop and have good stare.
The Prince is getting uglier ard more
dissipated- looking every day and the
Princess seems more and more charm
ing every time we see her. Whatever
the reel home life of this SO famous
couple may be we know not, but their
demeanor to each other in public is re-
ally 60 affectionate that one wonders at
their cieverness in keeping up appear
ances-that is if they do not care for
each other. We think it surprising that
q man who has such 8 pretty and good
wife as Alexandra is should care to as
sociate with the creatures we hear his
name coupled with.

roughly used. These charmers meant
to represent Venus and her court, and
were dressed in ballet girls tights

on the western boulevards to club-men
standing on the balconies of ceycles and
the compliments were returned. But
the advent of the ladies on the Boule-
ward de Bonnes Nouvelles called forth q
storm of indignation. Venus attempted to
mollify the crowd by showering down
roses from be-ribboned basket, on the
handle of which a dove was perched.
The flowers were tossed back. She then
strove to turn away wrath with jests.
