LIZZIE BORDEN ON HER OWN
CASE.

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore had long
interview with the alleged murderess,
Lizzie Borden, in Tauton Jail recently.
Mrs. Livermore says of that interview:
''Lizzie Borden talked to me very
freely of the whole case, but very calmly
ana sadly. You can see that the girl
feels her position keenly. spoke of the
comments on her stolid indifference.
What would they have me do?' she
asked sadly. Howl? Go into hyster-
ties? 1 am wrongly accused of two hor-
rible crimes. know it is useless to cry
out in indignation at the outrage, so 1
am trying hard to keep calm and self
controlled until l shall be proved limo.

'''What hurts me most, she said
again, lis the malignant feeling that has
been shown. l have done no harm to
any one. Is my character of thirty years
to count for nothing-nothing-
am accused of some terrible crimep
Then she grew more excited, and spoke
of the crime itself. How can they think
me guilty?' she exclaimed. What fool
must have been if committed crime
like that in broad daylight, with the GER
family of detection, with people going
to and fro on the street, with Bridget

at any moment for water, with my uncle
visiting us and likely to be back at any
time, with the curtains up and the neigh
bors astir. l knew every foot of that
house. could have walked all over it
in the dark, sure of my way. Why, if l
contemplated that crime, should l not
have done it at night? Two blows as
they lay asleep, no noise, no STIR

and then with plenty of time to remove
from myself all traces of the blood, gone
quietly to my bed; But they say that

removed from myself all evidence of the
horrible work. How can they believe
that?' ..r
Lizzie Borden has no thought of es-
cape. She has no theory of the murder,
she says; it is to her as horrible mys
terry as it is to us all. In spite of the
network of circumstantial evidence
woven about her, in spite of the hatchets
in New Bedford-see the farce of it
Lizzie Borden asserts her innocence, and

A RAILROAD THROUGH GETTYS-
fff f, BURG. ftt

Vermont veterans and especially those
who fought under Gen. Stannard will
note with interest and commentator the
announcement that steps will be taken
by Secretary of War Lamont, to prevent
the destruction of the lines of battle on
the Gettysburg field. This action was
prompted by numerous kilograms urging
the secretary to act promptly In the APP
pOintment of commission, that legal
action may be taken to restrain those en-
gagged in the construction of an electric
railroad on the lines which he is directed
to preserve and mark by the act of Con-
gress.
There is no doubt of the authority of
the secretary in the premises, nor is any
doubt entertained at the war department
that a preliminary injunction can be OBJ
tanned in the United States Court re-
straining the parties engaged in despoil-
ing the battlefield. The act of Congress
declares the purpose of the government
to acquire certain portions of the field
that the lines of battle may be preserved,
and directs the secretary of war to take
the preliminary steps to that end. The
right of eminent domain vested in the
government is superior to the rights of
all other parties, State or corporate.
The necessary property can be acquired
by condemnation, and the act of condem-
nation win include any franchise that
may be granted by the State Legislature.
If those who desire the preservation of
the battlefield will Insist on the war de-
partment acting promptly in the matter
| the secretary will be encouraged to Wig
orous action, and restraining action
will doubtless be secured in time to pre-
vent the destruction of the field. A cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says the judge advocate general will be
directed TO examine the question, and it
is believed that, in few days, the at
torney general will be asked to begin the
necessary proceedings in the United
States Court.-Free Press.

Journal. A woman never grows SO old
that she ceases to enjoy the company of
others, and generally the older she grows
the more she enjoys it. 1t Is always a

he explains by saying: "Oh, we're get

world and both he and his wife will be

see man proud of his wife because she
keeps young. Old age is beautiful and
has its advantages, but man makes a
great mistake when he rushes a woman
