dawned clear and cool
and as the first light of Maxwell's
last day entered his narrow cell it
heightened the sickly pallor of his
face which had increased during the
night.
Shortly after daybreak Maxwell
turned to one of the deputies and
said: Il wish that telegram would
come"
''Do you expect telegram?' was
asked
Il do, and know it will bring
me good news"
Soon after making the remark
Maxwell threw himself On the cot in
his cell, but remained there only a
few minutes. He then arose, alisht-
ed fresh cigarette and sat down at
the table making poor attempt to
read. He was plainly i'll at ease and
occasionally glanced furtiyely out
through the gratings Of the narrow
window of the cell and out into the
inner yard of the jail.
At few minutes before 5 o'clock
Maxwell performed his morning alb
luton and dcnned his funeral clothes,
which were new from the skin out,
the outer garments being of plain
black with a neatly-ftting Prince
Albert coat.
COMMUNION TO THE CONDEMNED.
At Sis Father Than arrived and
entered the cell, the door of which
was closed and those within the jail
moved away to give all the privacy
possible.
Father Than then administered
communion to the condemned. Al
the conclusion of the religious ser
vices in Maxwell's cell like offices
were accorded Henry Landgraff by
Father Than. Landgraf had oc
cupied his cot the greater portion o.
the night after 11:30, and appeared
cool and collected. He was neatly
attired, but his apparel was of {
coarser texture than that of Max
wells. While the Father confessol
was administering the communion tt

Each was served with like dishe

At $40 Mr.. Martin received the
following telegram which was deliv-
cred to Maxwell:
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Aug. 10.
To Hon. J. 1. Martin.
Governor received another tele-
gram from Minister West but he
persists in the same position.
Hold as lon.as possible as We may
hear III time. Ny heartfelt sympa-

z. W. FAUSTLERoy.
THE DEATH WARRANT READ.
The receipt Of this telegram cre-
ated quite sensation, as it was the
general opinion in and about the Jail
that the governor would grant at
least brief stay.
The message was at once conveyed
to Maxwell. He received it calmly,
the ashy pallor growing deeper on
his face
At $40 Sheriff Harrington, accom-
panied by deputy, entered the
yard and the sheriff entered Max
wells cell, where he and Landgraff
had been placed together, and an
nounced that the final moment had
| arrived.
Maxwell paled and pulled his
fingers nervously. His was the first
death warrant read, and he stood up
and heard his doom calmly though
he was plainly growing weaker all
the time.
As Maxwell passed through the
inner yard he walked firmly but
slowly. There was a wonderful
change from the apparently uncon-
cerned man putting a cigarette and
the one en- route to his death. His
face looked pinched and drawn, of
an ashy hue, and his eyes were
swollen.
He glanced about him piteously,
his lips twitching and his appearance
was calculated to awaken even the
pity of those who were convinced he
ought to die. Landgraff looked and
moved like log, with half smile
and half sneer on his face. There
was no time lost in reaching the
scafold, which the condemned as.
cended without assistance.
BIT HIS LIPS AND GULPED.
While his arms were being pin
ioned Maxwell bit his lower lip anG
gulped several times. Landgraf
received the warrant and pinning a:
steady as any man could. The pro
cession to the scahold was the1
formed, Father Than walking be
tween Maxwell and Landgraff, pre-
, ceded by Sheriff Harrington ane
deputies, and followed by the police
reporters and witnesses.
Maxwell was placed under th
: moose next to Twelfth street.
Father Than read prayers. Max

thing to say, and in an almos
inaudible tone responded, NO.

Actors often suffer from thieves while
on the road. 1t is not their valuables-
diamonds, cash and the like movables-
which disappear as often as their profess
o appurtenances, which have less
monetary value, but whose loss often
causes distressing Inconvenience. Eugene
O'Rourke sings a pretty and pleasing
song, Papa, Sweet Mamma and Me-"
One day while the company was staying
in one of the interior Michigan towns the
entire orchestra score disappeared, hav-
ing been appropriated by q local leader
whose stock of fresh music had run low
and who wanted to get a new number
for his repertory cheaply. AS there was
not q second copy of the orchestra score
and the song could not be sung without
an accompaniment, Papa, Sweet Mann
ma and Me" had to retire until the work
of orchestration could again be done.
81 can tell of stranger things than
that" said an old time actor. '"You
have no idea of the rapacity of the
thieves who rob travelling professionals,
nor of their persistency. I knew a leader
who had q violin which he priced very
highly and watched zealously-even slept
with it under his pillow. Well, sir, a
fellow up in Muskegon, / think it was,
took n notion to have that violin. He
followed tho company from town to
town, and after a weeks cat at a rat hole
watching, he got an opportunity and
sneaked it. Why, they steal our cuffs,
collar buttons, old shoes if they can't find
mates, mako up boxes, stage clothes
anything they can lay hands on. De
