great good. 1t will give to the people of

New YORK, Aug. 10.-A twelve year old
boy named Tommy" Hickey, of the Fourth

thousand dollars. The boys parents never
did much for the boy. and when they died
about eight months ago, within few weeks
of each other. he was left destitute and de-
pendent on the charity of neighbors. The
lads parents resided at No. 81 Adam street
and when death took them from him he
wandered about his native city, sleeping at
nj ght III barrels, wood yards and railways
Being bright lad, the neighbors gave him
cast-otf clothing. and occasionally fed him

The Maybrick Excitement Has Passed It's
Climax-She Had Seven Proposals.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-The hysterical phase
of the Maybrick case, the agitation for the
overthrow of the Judgment of the court,
has reached its climax and is on the wane.
The idea of presenting petition to the
Home Secretary, signed by mem-
bers of the House of Commons,
praying for a reprieve, has been
abandoned, most of the sympathetic
Commoners having arrived at the cOnclu-
sion that conflict between the legislative
and judicial branches of the government
would be unseemly. 1t is asserted upon
good authority that Justice Stephen being
convinced of the woman's guilt, will re-
sign from the bench in the event of her re-
prieye by the Home Secretary. Secretary
Matthews. in view of the petitions already
prepared for presentation TO him, is
studying the evidence carefully and is also
in communication with Justice Stephen,
the Lord Chancellor, and the Attorney
general OH the legal aspects of the case.
The fact that Mrs. May brick received seven
offers of marriage just previous to her con-
victiOn abundantly demonstrates the GER
tainty that the crop of maudlin sentiment
aliStS has not been blighted.
