A Dying Man Confesses He Committed the
Crime She Now Suffers For.

In the next issue OF the Review OF Re-

an article headed, "Ought Mrs May

vigorously and at great length reopens the
whole case OF the unfortunate American
woman who is now undergoing a sentence

the alleged poisoning OF her husband, who
was well-known Liverpool merchant In
the course of his article Mr. Stead says that
both he and Sir Charles Russell, the attor-

Africa copies Of the deathbed con fession OF
Harry Wilson, who declared that be, with
a woman whose name Is not given, placed

travesty of justice which has exposed
Great Britain to serious objections from

strong appeal for the release OF Mrs.

COST OF SEEING THE FAIR.

point for both ways Rooms in Chicago
can be rented at 81 per day, which price
will insure cleanliness and comfort.
This will be 500. Car fare to the grounds
will be about 20 cents day, and, sup
posing the fair is closed on Sunday, will
amount TO $3.50. AS for table board, il

Adding a few dollars for incidental ana

began firing their revolvers The express
messenger was ordered to open the door OF
the car and after several shots were fired
through the panels he complied. One of the
robbers entered the car while the other re-
manned on guard outside The messenger
opened the safe, and the robber hastily
grabbing the packages and envelopes which
1t contained. placed them in small SAGE

where the train was left standing and after
firing few more shots as warning, dis
appeared in the darkness. Both robbers
wore heavy black masks and their clothing
was spattered with mud, indicating that

taken together, are very poor In not one
county in five of the States mentioned will
there be an average crop. In Illinois 90
