II.s Impending Fate.
WOODSTOCK. Ont. Oct c. -Birchall
has begun to show sigas of seIi usness
aud deeper realization OF his impend-
ing fate His former noncha aaG and
ioeular manner has giyln way to n
quleter and more doleful deme NOR.
Those who come ia contact WI him
dairy say that marked change has
come over him and that he begins to
appreciate the solemnity Of his p siti n.
Any little incident occurring il the
Jail yard, that comes under his notice,
however. amuses him as much as ever.
The strict watch put upon hiEl after his
sentence is Stil maintained ana will be
until lis eXecR ion. NO one is allowed
10 see him and be will have but few
visitors EXCEPT his counsel and spiritual
adviser, wheI he ASKS for one.
Mrs, Birchalls health is improving
and she was able to leave her bed Satur-
day for tn first time slAce Monday.
She has not seen her husband siace the
day OF the trial, and may not do SO un-
til just prior to her departure for Eng
land next week
Bifchall has been much interested in
psychological analysis of his character
by Dr Bessey printed in The Toronto
Globe He complained that tho doctor
had not taken sufficient observations to
make himself acquainted with his sub
iect; that the doctor had been with him
Tor not more than a few minutes, and
could not possibly have learned 50 much
us he prC fessed to know, in so short
time. Naturally he does not concur in
much that the doctor says, for it is not
very compliment Try.
Birchall is dGing considerable writing
now. and there is considerable curios-
ity us to whether it is confession or Il
statement for the public, Those who
know him best say they would not be
surprised 0 hear that ne had prepared
such document.
Inspector Of Prisons Christie visited
the j il and expressed his satisfaction
with the regulations ado ted wi re-
gard to the p isoner, He advised the
jailer to continue tbem until he re-
ceived dehuite written Instructions

FINDLAY, o., Oct. 6.-The Standard
Oil company has ordered reduction III
the price of crude petroleum from thir-
ty-seven and oue-half cents to thirty

vanced. The producers who have teen
pushing drilling operations are alarmed.
