"I AM SICK UNTO DEATH"
An Explanation of tho Form Used By Mrs
 daybrick in Her Letter to HrIerly.

An Explanation of tho Form Used Fly Mrs.
 Maybrick in Her Letter to Brierly.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Messrs Rye and Macklin, the New York attorneys for Mrs. Maybrick, received to-day from an anonymous correspondent letter explaining the use of the expression II am sick unto death," which occurred in Mrs. Maybrick's letter to Brierly and upon which Judge Stephens placed so much importance.
 The correspondent writes: II yield to the solicitations of friends to com municate with you on behalf of Mrs. Maybrick. You will learn from Southerners that the sentence sic k unto death used In the Brierly letter and construed by the Judge to mean darkly an intent to kill, is 8 Southern vernacular in common uso among women in the Gulf and other states to express any painful illness how ever slight it may be. She would say, 1 am sick unto death" if merely suffering from sick headache or sickness of the stomach. To express dangerous illness she would be very apt to say very in' or very sick.''
 Mr. Roe says that this is very good point as in reading over Judge Stephens charge he rings in the changes on that one expression and takes particular pains to impress the jury with it's i'm portance. "I shall at once submit this evidence to the British Home Secre- tary," said MT. Roe. although we will not present any petition as upon consul tation we find that it might not create Q favorable impression. Everything is be- ing done over there that can possibly avert the sentence being carried into ef- feet" Continuing, Mir. Roe quoted from a Liverpool paper which he had just received and in which 1t is stated that Judge Stephens is known as the hang ing judge and that prisoner stands a poor show when brought before his bar.

 True to their word they dropped their work then and there, fell into line and marched oat of the docks, and with Burns at their head they proceeded to the dock laborerA headquarters close Oy, every man of them drenched to the ikin.

Employers as a class are prone, we think, not to let their employees know that they value their services; this we believe to be . mistake.
