This Expression. Upon which Jndgs
stephen Laid So much stress. II said

erners aud Il Thus Deprived % rs
Tragic Significance.
LONDON. Aug. e1.-Mr. Spurgeon has
invited the ladies Of his congregation to
sign petition to the queen asking her
majesty to remit the sentence 81 Mrs
Maybrick on the ground that the case is
surrounded with ever increasing doubt
and that there is no certainty in the pub
lie mind that the sentenced woman was
IN any way responsible for her husband's
death.
The great preacher adds that, person
ally. he has never wished To see anybody
hanged. although he is afraid that under
the existing conditions of society the
capital penalty cannot in all cases be
avoided. At the same time. he says.
death ought never to be inflicted unless
there is a direct and absolute certainty
of guilt Of the person condemned.
II there is the smallest hope that Mrs.
Maybrick may be innocent, and he
doesn't profess TO have more than that
himself. il behoOves all Christians to do
their utmost to see that the prisoner has
the benefit of the doubt.

"HE rs SICK UNTO DEATH"

Explanation Of This Phrase ms Used by
Mrs. MaybricI in q Letter.
NEW York, Aug. 2i.-Messrs. Roe q
Macklin, the New York attorneys for
Mrs. Mayhrick, have received from an
anonymous correspondent, letter ex-
planning the use of the expression 'sHe
Is sick unto death, which occurred in
Mrs. Maybrick's letter to Briefly, and
upon which Judge Stephen placed so
much Importance. The correspondent
writes:
yield to the solicitations OF friends to COM
municute with You on behalf of Mrs. May
brick You win learn from southerners that
the sentence sick unto DEATH" used in the
Briefly letter and construed by the judge to
mean darkly and an intent to kill, Is a south
ern vernacular in common use among
women in the gnlf.and other states TO express
any painful illness. however slight 1t may be.
She would say ! am sick unto death, II merely
suffering from sick headache or sickness OF
the stomach. To express dangerous illness
she would be very apt to say very Ill or very
sick.
Good Point.
Mr.. Roe says that this il very good
point, as in reading over Judge Stephens
charge he rings in the changes on that
one expression and takes peculiar pains
to impress the jury with it's Importance.
II shall at once submit this evidence
to the british home secretary. said Mr.
Roe, although we will not present any
petition, as, upon consultation, we find
that it might not create favorable inn
preston. Everything is being done over
there that can possibly avert the sem
tence being carried into effect.
''Thc Hanging Judge"
Continuing, Mr. Roe quoted from a
Liverpool paper which he had just re-
ceived, and in which it is stated that
Judge Stephen is known as the hanging
judge, and that criminals stand poor
show when brought before his bar. This
may have effect with the home secretary
in either committing the sentence or
granting a pardon.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 21.-At the meet
ing here of the glass manufacturers OF
America an agreement was signed by
every manufacturer present to sustain
the action of the wage committee in re-
