A WIFE MURDERER SAVED.
Gov. Tillman Commutes the Sentence of
Levelle and He Goes 10 the
Penitentiary
Especial to News and Courier. !

Special 10 News ana courier.
COLUMBIA, May 17.-Governor Till
man to-day commuted the sentence of
Napoleon Levelle to imprisonment for
life in the penitentiary. The case is
entirely familiar to the people of the
State and how the wife murderer has
from time to time had his life saved
if not by some technical quibbie, by
the mysterious disappearance Of some
important legal paper. After every
imaginable excuse Of the law had been
raised the case came up before Cover
nor Tillman on petition TO commute
his sentence to life Imprisonment. It
was suggested to the Governor that the
man was insane, and then it became
the unpleasant duty of Governor Till
man to have a careful examination
made and to act on that.
He made signal failure in that re-
spect, as the authorities to whom be
referred the matter utterly failed to
agree as to the condition Of Levelle and
and his responsibility for the crime.
When Governor Tillman announced
his decision be said: MY own incina-
tions and feelings were 10 hang this
man, because I do not sympathize with
wife murderers and I have no sympa-
thy for any man who kills his wife for
any cause. But I was confronted with
the fact that all five members Of the
com mission agree as to his brain being
diseased now and at the time of the
murder. In addition to the opinion Of
DIR. Babcock as to the mans lack of
responsibility creates a grave doubt
and I feel compelled to give him the
benefit of the doubt"
Governor Tillman has honestly tried
to do the best he could in the case, and
would have liked very much to have
seen Levelle hanged. Levelle will be
brought to the State Penitentiary, and
there, so a lady correspondent said who
wrote to Governor Tillman, twill die
because he has to work, for he is the
LATEST man ever born"

DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS FREE.
An Aged Nesr-ss Sues for Services Cor Tween
ty.four Years.
New York Times.

BooSvILLE, Mo-, May 15.-Edie
Hickam, an aged negress, is the plain
tiff in perhaps the most remarkable
case ever tried in this county. She is
an old ex.s:ave, and brought suit
agains her master, Joseph Hickam, OF
this county, for five dollars month
wages as family domestic for twenty
four years, during which time she
claims to have been kept in ignorance
of her emancipation.
The suit was instituted here in 1889,
for 81 400, and resulted in a judgment
in her favor for 800. The defendant
appealed to the Kansas City Court of
Appeals, which rcmanded the case to
the Circuit Court Of this county which
now renders decision for the defend
ant.
A motion for a new trial has been
filed, and public sentiment is in favor
of the old negress, who has toiled for
her master for quarter Of a century
without remuneration.

Around on Sixty-third street over
the door of broad wooden entrance to
dirty canvas appears the sign in large
letters: "Dime Musee." On the inside
was witnessed the most high handed
piece of highway robbery to befound in
the city of Chicago. Two women
and three or four men were as busy as
they could be roping in strangers and
going through them. The process was
a deliberate hold-up, "stand and de-
liver" and if the victim refused to
stand he was made to do so by having
himself forcibly attached to a shock
ing machine, and filled up with elec-
tricity until his mind was in such
bewildered condition that he didn't
know where be was or what was going
on. The plan of working this game
was to have a tall, burly chap 60 into
the street, pick oct his subjects and
steer them into the tent. at the door
they were met by a blonde female, who
took them in charge and ran them
through the battery mill to secret
room at the rear end of the tent, where
another female pretended to tell them
their fortune. All the time the big
steerer kept hold of the arm of the un-
fortunate so that in case he should re-
sist the fiattery Of the two women he
might be suppressed. During brief
visit to this den dozen or more specta-
tors witnessed three performances and
saw the victims kicked out.

WOMEN ON DRESS REFORM.
Object Lessons Upon Combination Of IT'LL
|ity and Beauty.

CHICAGO, May 16.-The Women's
Congress to-day was divided into sew
eral different meetings. Theone onthe
subject of dress reform attracted the
most attention. Mrs. May Wright
Sewau mounted the platform in a
"dress reform" costume. It consisted
of a closely fitting dark blue dress with
full skirts $bout eighteen inches from.
the ground. Below the dress and en-
casing serviceable pair Of walking
shoes were high blue CATERS.
Mrs. Avery, secretary CT the Dress
Reform Association, appeared in an
attire which reminded one of the dress
Of the subjects Of the Sultan. The skirt
of blue flannel fell a trife below the
knees, where the garment divided and
was caught up at the knee, leaving the
ankles half unfettered. The waist was
loose blouse, with a suspicion of a
belt inside. ...... s.....
Mrs. Henrietta Russell gave an object
lesson on the way to make dress reform
beautiful. She wore an adaptation of
Greek drapery. Mrs. Hannah Karan,
a Syrian lady, displayed the bloomer
costume of her native land.
In the other halls were considered
the civil and social evolution of women,
women in politics, education, religion
and industry. Meetings were held Of
the National Committee of Young
Women's Christian Association, the
National Council of Women of the
United States and Women's Alliance.
In Hall the annual congress Of the
Eostern Star, branch Of Masonry, to
which the women relatives Of Master
Masons are alone eligible for member
ship, was called to order by the Most
Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Larry C.
Shedding.

It was conceded on all sides, how
ever, that this will end the litigation on
the subject until after July l.
In the meantime the liquor dealers
will begin at once to look out for their
own business interests by disposing of
their stocks as rapidly as possible.
Many Of them will begin at once to
look around for other employment aud
to seek other Investments for their
money, while it was freely predicted
by some persons claiming to have good
authority for their statement that not
few of the prominent liquor men in
the city would begin to make prepars-
tions looking towards an early remov-
al of their business to other States.
How much truth there is in this cannot
now be said.
Everybody now fully appreciates the
condition of affairs which is now actu.
ally staring the City of Charleston and
the liquor men in the face. When the
Evans bill goes into effect on the 1st of
July, about one thousand men from
one cause or another are going to be
thrown out of work. This is the esti-
mate which is made by one of the lead
ing liquor dealers CT the city. What Is
to become of them? It is but reasonable
to suppose that all of them cannot find
other employment here, and will move
to other places.
Men with capital can, of course, make
other businesses for themselves, but the
large majority of the one thousand men
referred to are dependent upon their
salaries for their own and in many
cases their families support. What is
to become Of these persons is the prob
lem which interests the liquor frater-
nifty most just now. The dealers have
scarcely had time to pull themselves
together just yet, however, and they
are not prepared to discuss the matter
as fully and freely as they vii. be in a
few days. AS a general rule they are
men who are accustomed and able to
take care of themselves pretty well,
and it is probable tina. they will do so
now, adverse legislation to the contra
ry Notwithstanding.

ERS HAVE TO SAY.
News and Courier, 18th. |

ANCTo oEo NONllSA, 4OIIsl
The decision of the Supreme Court in
the Chester case was the all important
topic of conversation among the liquor
men yesterday. To many of them it
came as great surprise, while others
sought protection and what gratifca-
ton they could secure behind that time
worn and much-abused custom of
claiming to know just how it was going
to turn out all along. There was no
concealing the fact, however, that the
decision came as disappointment to
everyone.
The rumors to the effect that the
Courts questions during the trial
pointed to a decision adverse to the
law had been so numerous and appa-
reptly we'll founded that they had sue
ceeded in buoying up everyone's hopes.
Many of the liquor dealers in the city
frankly confessed that they thought
the question would be settled in their
favor.
The dealers, however, are not daunt-
ed by the decision in this case, and
more than one of them made the sig
nificant remark that the question in
volved was not finally disposed of. Ex-
actly what this means is an open ques-
ton. It is a probable reference to the
fact that the decision does not 60 into
the full merits of the constitutionality
of the law, but confines itself to a
discussion and settlement of the
points specifically raised in the Ches-
ter case.
It will be remembered that the attor-
neys of the Liquor Dealers Associs-
ton decided that there was enough
doubt as TO the validity Of the law to
warrant test case being made at the
proper time-at least that is the way
the opinion rendered by them has been
generally construed. While it was not
put into words, the impression is that
the dealers meant to imply that this
would still be done, notwithstanding
the decision of the Supreme Court pub
lished yesterday morning.
