A Female Kidnaper Sentenced.

CHICAGO May 2.-Judge Shepard yester-
day refused a new trial to Mrs. Josie Gurley,
convicted a few days ago of kidnapping lit
tie Annie Redmond. Mrs. Gurley insisted
that she did not know who the child was un-
til she was too i'll to return her; that she
asked her husband to take the child home and
he refused; that Redmond himself (the child's
father) was present when she was brought to
the Gurley home, and that time would show
her innocence. Judge Shepard sent her to

Connected with the Final Parade-The
March of the Boys.
New YORK, May 2-The greatest sur
prise of yesterdays industrial parade, next
TO its excellent character generally, was per-
haps the remarkable march of the public
school boys. They marched in lines that
were more steady and better preserved than
those of many of the national guardsmen
who paraded Tuesday. Everybody was as
tonished, and old veterans, high police Off.
GERS and others all agreed that their march
ing past, as a whole, was better than that OF
the average militia President Harrison said
that he thought the marching of the school
children was superior to that of any of the
military organizations that took part in the
parade Tuesday.
An Old Veterans Grievance.
A peculiar incident occurred as the veterans
Of the war Of 1919 went past the president.
At the head of them were Gen. Abram Daily
and Richard Cox, Mexican war veterans.

Gen. Daily, who is 90 years of age, and
scarcely able to walk, was almost carried by
two men who supported him, one ON each
side. As he arrived in front of the president
he hobbled close to the stand, took off his hat,
and reaching out his hand, passed his card
up to the president. The president leaned
over the box and took the card and shook
hands with the veteran, and the old gentle
man passed on. He returned shortly after
ward, and was taken up to the presidents
box. President Harrison welcomed him cor
daily. Gen. Daily told the president that
Gen. Butterfield had refused to let him or any
Of the veterans of 1919 ride in coaches. al
though they offered to pay for them, and as
he had determined to see the chief magistrate,
he went on foot rather than not do SO. Tears
came into Gen. Dally's eyes as he spoke.
How the President Liked II.

the occasional expression on his face, the

He was not seriously injured Brodie with several friends and news paper correspondent arrived last night They left at o'clock this mornin. and went to within 200 feet above the falls Brodie then stopped and had his body padded with cotton and put on the rubber suit which was inflated. His headgear was also inflated while two steel bands protected hi, body Al 30 BrOdie entered the water and in a few moments he shot over the center oi the Horseshoe Falls ani luckily was shot with lightning rapid ity outside oi one of the falling vol umes of water, and was quickly lost in the mist and foam. He was buried from view for nearly two minutes when he appeared on the surface A rope was attached to him and he wa drawn ashore and quickly stripped. Brandy was given him in small quan- | Blood oOzed from the mouth. nose and ears probably from the shock. For 20 minutes Brodie lay until am monia was applied to his nostril- and he then began to revive. His inJurie- are not serious and he expects tO be | able to go to New York tomorrow In describing his experience, Brodie says that after he entered the river h. weakened and would have given any thing in the world if he could have reached shore. He attempted to get ashore by using his paddles when a swift current swept him back and turned his feet towards the break oi the cataract. Just as he came to the brink of the falls he became uncon- scious through fright and remained so until he struck the water at the base of the falls when he was tenn porarily brought to by the force with which he struck. He then lost con sciousness and knew no more until he found himself laying on his rubber suit at the waters edge. There Is no doubt Brodie successfully went over the falls.

Wonder how many other simi- !a- transactions have occurred in She secret meetings Of the board that have not been published and do not appear on the record?

OUR misfit Governor has evidently come to the conclusion that he is su- perior to the law It might not be a bad idea to take steps to have him re- moved for malfeasance in office. He is altogether too transcendental a be- ing to be required to waste his brilliant talents on the little office of Governor of Arizona. The citizens of this Terri tory would prefer to have less tai ented man, one who can tell the truth occasionally and would have some re- spect for his oath of office.
