NOT LONG TO SERVE.
A septuagen'rian Wife Murderer Sentenced
To- LIE Imnrisnnment.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, March 13.-Henry
Hall, who killed his wife here in July Of
last year. was yesterday found guilty of
murder in the first degree. The jury
recommended that the prisoner be sent to
the penitentiary for life. Hall is seventy
years of age and is very feeble. His hair
and long beard are snow white. He can
not live long. His two young daughters
were compelled to testify against him.
The plea OF the defense was that Hall was
insane. Atno time during the trial did
he show the least evidence that he realized
what was going on and when the verdict
of tine jury was read there was not the
least sign that he recognized the fate that
is TO be his.

Is rnEar svow ON THE Mooss


New York Times.
A special from San Jose says that
Professor Holden of the famous Lick
Observatory, has procured through the
big telescope better photographs of tho
moon than have been taken anywhere
else, and the work of photographing
goes on every hour when the moon is
visible. BY studying these photographs
with magnifying glass and comparing
them, any changes taking place on the
surface Of the moon may be discovered.
Tho astronomers on Mount Hamilton
have discovered some things that nobody
else ever saw, but they have not de-
termined whether these are new features
or things that are too small TO have been
seen through less powerful telescopes.
For example, upon the top of ono of
the mountains of the moon the photo
graph shows luminous white spot that
looks like snow. If that is snow and If
it was not there before the presence of
an atmosphere is indicated. Il has been
believed that the moon has 10 atmos-
phere and, therefore, is uninhabitable;
but If it should be demonstrated that
snow falls upon the surface Of the satcl-
lite, the accepted theory would be upset,
"iiu ahtIOHolltIo WYNN pcgIH " sJuNy
the moon with new and greater inter-
est If the moon were inhabited 1t is
very likely tho works of man would
have been seen there before now.
The growing and harvesting of crops
would produce changes of appearance
easily distinguishable by the aid of such
glass as the Lick telescope. Objects
upon the moon are detected by their
shadows, and projection or eminence
50feet high casts shadow large enough
TO be seen through the Lick telescope.
If Professor Holden, studying his series
Of photographs, should discover some
day new shadow where none had been
cast before when the moon was in the
same position, under the same light, he
would know that there had been a
change upon tho surface, either part of
the crust uphcaved by some internal
movement or building put up by liv-
ing creatures. The shape of the shadow
might tell the nature of the projection.
Professor Holden does not expect to
find any traces of mans work on tho
moon, but he may ascertain if any
changes have taken place there within
30 years.

A soldier of the Salvation Army ar
rived in New York dead broke" the
other day and on proclaiming his
identity at the headquarters, on Cham
bers street, he was at once given good
paying position in the intelligence de-
partment of the organization, where he
is popularity known in the army as
"Hustlcr joe" Some years ago, after
he joined the Salvationists, he was hired
by circus to herald its approach hy
flaming bill boards and gay-colorcd
posters. One night, while at work. he
was aroused by the familiar beating of
drums, the changing Of cymbals and the
Jingle OF tambonrines, and yielding to
his tirst impulse he fell in line again as
Il full-hedged Salyationist in active SER
vice. But on the following day his
bill-posting duties called him away
from his brothers Of the red shirt and
he was compelled TO choose between
the circus and the army. He had al
most decided to throw the circus over
board and enlist for the war against the
devil when happy thought struck him.
Why not combine the two lines Of
work. II advertising helped the circus
why would it not help the army i?
"Hustler Joe" provided himself with
number CT holy notices and on every
circus poster he put up he would paste
one of the notices. The effect of this
work was startling. The daring
aeronaut pictured ON the bill boards as
falling from big balloon in a little
parachute bore across his breast the
question: "Where will you spend
eternity?" The clown held paner
hoop before beautiful equestrienne
and the paper hoop bore the legend /:
prepare TO meet thy God y The neck
of the giraffe was ornamented with HE
wise but supertluous statement that
"The straight and narrow path is the
best" The elephants back carried the
somewhat enigmatical words: "To.
morrow may be eternity for you and
me- The effect of this unique style Of
advertising was most satisfactory to the
circus people and to the army. No
circus posters ever attracted more atten-
ton, and the inventor of this double
headed Righteousness scheme became
famous.

A Woman's Strange story of Her Hus-
bands Crookedness--He Was a Bank
Burglar.
PEORIA, Aug. 2s,--Nellie 1ago, the
alleged wife ofpLewis G. Bollenheim,
was found in deserted house yesterday
covered with bruises and blood. She
had been there for three days without
any medical aid whatever, and was at
the point of death when officers re-
moved her to hospital.
She related romantic story. Her
supposed husband, she says, assisted in
robbing bank in Sedalia, Mo-, several
years ago, when $4,000 was secured
OF this sum $4,000 was hidden in q
stump. The men wandered around In a
dense fog all night, and reached Sedalia
the next morning, when they We're cap
tured. The bank people recovered
1923, 900, and the two men were sent up
for five years. Bollenheim's partner
died in the penitentiary, and
his remains were shipped to this city
under an assumed name and buried at
night only few months ago. Since
Bollenheim has been out he has been
searching for the money he hid in the
stump, but the locality has changed so
that he cannot lind it. Returning from
one of these fruitless searches he went
on spree and kicked and beat his wife
nearly to death and left her in the room
where she was found.
He was placed under $4,000 bail to
await the outcome of her injuries.

WENT TO DE1TH SMILING.
A CuIprit Who Had no Fear of the Guilio-
tine--ShocIsed HIS Attendants and Com

PARIS, Aug. ga youth named
Ballet, who had been convicted of COM
hitting several atroclous murders, was
beheaded at Donai, near Lille, in the
department du Nord, this morning. The
execution of this young criminal is re-
markable from the fact that he exhibited
the most callous demeanor and seemed
to have the most utter disregard for
death.
At $40 when Ballet was awakened he
joked and laughed with the execu-
TONERS, priest and personal attendants,
and actually succeeded In shocking
those who might naturally be supposed
to be somewhat hardened and accus-
toned to unnatural death scenes. Dur
ing the toilet, pinioning, &c., previous
to the final act in the beheading, Ballet
showed absolutely no change in his
demeanor. Continuing his jokes and
laughing, as if about to go on a pic
mic. The young rascal positively
refused to listen to the priests comfort
ing and admonitions and continued
chatting gaily until the last, when in
front Of the bascule Of the guillotine
and upon the point of being thrown
upon the sliding plank Ballet shouted
"vive lie Republique." The words
were hardly out of his mouth when the
executioner seized the young criminal
threw him under the knife, and second
later qis head rolled into the basket Of
sawdust waiting to receive 1t.

ga Little Nanny-goat."

A small girl--a very small one-who
did not shine particularly in the way of
goodness, was attended by nurse maid
who was a simple, honest, religious girl,
always mindful of her duty; and this
duty, she felt quite sure, pointed to the
reforming of the little heather COM
mitted to her charge.
On Sunday afternoons she often took
Miss Nellie to a meeting that was held
in the basement of some place of worship,
and the surroundings were very plain
and doleful, hut the preacher was an
earnest man, and, to Hannah's great de-
light, her young lady listened to him
with much attention. Tho words,
Now, my hearers, ! will give
you little aneedote," were ire
quently used, and then would follow
some incident by way of illustration.
Nellie always looked so expectant at
this announcement, and listened with
such eager attention TO what followed
that Hannah's heart bounded for Joy to
find that the troublesome child was SC
seriously impressed. Her eyes filled
with tears, and she failed TO notice the
look Of disappointment that spread itself
over the small maiden's face after each
anecdote.
Finally the pent-up feelings came tc
the surface, and one afternoon as they
were walking home, Nellie Indignantly
exclaimed, That mans an awful story
teller, and sha'n't 10 there any morer

A MILE IN 30 a-5 srooNDs.
This Feat Performed by Locomotive OF
the Bound Brook Railroad.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. GA mile in
30 2-5 seconds, or at the rate of over 90
miles an hour, is the unparalleled feat
that was accomplished yesterday on the
Bound Brook railroad, between Ne
shaminy Falls and Langhorn by engine
BOG, drawing two ordinary coaches and
President McLeod's private car Read
ing, which is equal to two coaches in
weight. Other miles were reeled off
with speed as astonishing as the crack
mile and at the end of the "fy" the
worlds record was broken.
The fastest mile was scored in 80 2-5s.;
the fastest five miles in 3m. 20 4.5s.; the
fastest 10 miles in I'm, 12s., averaging 43
seconds per mile.
some good-natured chatting that took
place at Judge Green's dinner to the
Farmers Club, Thursday, August Goth.
William NJ. Singerly was telling Mr.. Nc
Leod, the president'of the Reading Rail-
road Company, that for 10 years he had
been making it diversion to time fast
railroad trains, and that he had rarely
travelled faster than so seconds. Mr..
6ingerly said that the published records
failed TO show mile better than sol
seconds and that the best he had timed
was 49 seconds.
Mr.. Singerly travels frequently be-
tween Philadelphia and Elkton, Md,
and he has informed engineers on the
r., w. & b. and B. & 0. roads that he
would give any one of them $25 for a
mile better than 4S seconds.
Mr.. Mcleod quietly replied that he
could do better than 4S seconds, and Mr..
Singerly said he would be pleased to see
1t done.
A special train consisting of a loco
motive and three heavy coaches was
made up and left the Ninth and Green
street station at 1870 this afternoon
When Neshaminy Falls was left behind
the engineer was signalled to let her &C
for 10 miles.
The party in the flying coaches KEPT
their watches in their hands and timed
every mile. President Mcleod feels
greatly pleased that his road has SC
triumphantly beaten the best railroad
record.

New York, Aug 28.-Tenants in the
four story tenement house, No. 321 East
106th street, last night heard pistol shots
in the apartments occupied by family
named Baxter, on the third floor No
one, however, sought to learn what the
shooting meant until 10 o'clock this
morning, when it was noticed that none
Of the Baxters had yet been seen.
Neighbors knocked at the door, but
there was no answer, and then Police
man William LAWYER of the East Ssth

She Wants to Charter Big Steamship
and Take Her Company on Theatrical
Tour of tho World.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. 27.-To
Sarah Bernhard belongs the credit of
projecting the most audacious theatrical
scheme on record. The idea is q tour
of the world on specially chartered
steamship of not less than 5000 tons,
carrying the company, scenery and in
cidental freight enough to help defray
the expenses, which would be nearly
81 200 day.
Henry e. Aubrey was in close con-
sultation with Mr.. Spreckels, of the
Oceanic steamship line, on the subject
during his recent visit to this city. 1t
has leaked out that he had almost COM
pleted negotiations for the exclusive use
of steamer of the Mariposa type for
two years.
Nine. Bernhard has figured out that
by going round the world it will be pos.
sible to play at all the leading cities at
the height Of the season in each place.
The company can live cheaply on board
ship, heavy freight rates on scenery
would be avoided and one-night stands
be made possible even in the Orient. II
is proposed to sail from Havre, touch al
the leading ports of Portugal and Spain
thence proceed to the Mediterranean
running ashore to visit Italian an
French cities, Vienna and Buda-P esth
and Bucharest. Thence the troupe
would 60 to Alexandria and Cairo
through the Suez canal to India, Aus.
tralia, China, Japan, Vancouver, San
Francisco, the cities of Spanish America
the Argentine Republic, Brazil, Cuba
and the eastern coast of the United
States. Then crossing the Atlantic the
company would finish its tour in Lon.
don and Paris. The Bernhard is en-.
thusiastic over the idea.

A Positive Youth in the Ocean Grove
Surf Grabbed tho Wrong Leg.


OCEAN GROVE, Aug. 26.-William A..
HOLSTER of Troy is attending the SER
vices of the camp-meeting association
with several scratches on his face. Mr..
HOLSTER took his first ocean bath last
week He was with party Of friends
and thought the bathing far surpassed a
plunge in the waters OF the Hudson at
his native place.
He diyed and swan, stood on his
head, and cut up other antics in the
water. Suddenly the idea struck him
that he could create sensation by play
ing shark with one of his friends. When
the next big roller came in, Mr.. Hollis
ter took header through it and seized
what he thought was the leg of one of
his friends, When the leg was wrenched
| from his grasp he came up to enjoy his
sensation. He did not enjoy it us much
as his friends did.
lie had miscalculated the force of the
surf when he made his header, and,
instead Of grasping the leg of one of
his chums, he had seized the shapely
| limb Of pretty young woman. As he
came to the top of the water the young
woman was ready to meet him. Mr..
| HOLSTERS smile turned 10 a look OF
horror, and he began uttering profuse
apologies.
The pretty young woman was mus
cular, and was frantic with indignation.
She paid no attention to Mr.. HOLSTERS
apologies, but, dashing at him, seized
him by the hair and began scratching
his face. The next breaker upset Mr..
IIollister and his charming assailant,
and the latter was compelled to release
her hold. The man from Troy made a
break for the beach, where he was met
by some of his friends. DIR. Nichols
fixed up the cuts on his face. lie has
| not been in the surf since.
