Holmes Is Convicted of Murder in the
First Degree.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2-Henry IL.
Holmes was convicted of murder in the
first degree at SOL o'clock tonight for the
killing of Benjamin f. Pitzel. He
laughed slightly when he heard the
words. That was the only sign. The
jury retired at $40 o'clock this after
noon and, according to one of their num-
ber, they had reached verdict before
the doors of their room closed on them,
but for huDger's sake they ate their sup
per first. Then they took ballot, and
without hesitation every man Of the II
answered guilty of murder in the first
degree" bat however atrocioue the
crime, however tiendeh the criminal, it
is hard to send man to the gallows in
one minutes time, so, for decency's
sake. they talked about the case for the
seemiy period of about an hour and a
half. Then word was sent into court
that they had agreed. This was at S:lJ
clock. 1t took half an hour to get the
court in readiness to receive the verdict.
Holmes spoke to his counsel, Rotan and
Shoemaker, in the cell room before
he was taken back to Mcyamensing
prison. To them he said: IL feel that
this condemns ne. 1t was an unjust
trial" He would say no more than that.
Immediately after the announcement
of the verdict the usual application for
leave to file d motion for new trial was
made. District Attorney Graham did
not oppose the motion and Judge Arnold
fixed the 18th of this month for the hear
ing, The principal reason urged will be
the lack Of time for the preparation Of
the Defense

ST. PAUL, Nov 2--The grievance COM
mittee representing the A. r, u, en-
bracing the employees of the Great North
ern road, has measured the sword of
President Hill and retired to hold a
council of war. Hills reply to their cor
| respondence may not be to their liking
and few days will elapse before they
can decide what, if anything, they can
do in the premises. President Hill was
seen by reporter this morning and
asked If he had anything to say relative
to the grievance committee that sought
an interview with him. MIR. Hill replied:
you may say if you like, that they are
men who are not in the employ of the
company. They represent nobody. They
are men who have committed offenses
and have been discharged for otfepses
against it's government, for dieobeying
orders, refusing to obey the orders of
their euperiors, or for stealing. We
don't want to have anything to do with
them" Mr.. Hill made these statements
with tirmness and with gestures that in
dicated that be felt secure in his position
and was not disposed to temporize in
the treatment of the subject.
II is said that the officers of tho com
pany have been thoroughly posted on

Rockefeller Presents the Chicago Univer-
sity AN Additional &3,OO0,oO0.
CHICAGO, Nov 2-The largest dona-
tion ever made to an educational institu-
tion at one time bv one man oc urred
today, the gift being TO the Chicago uni
versity, when +. II. Galee, representing
John d. Rockefeller. announced to the
| trustees of the institution that the east
ern capitalist had determined to add
100000 to his already munificent do
nations. The announcement was made
at a meeting OF the trustees.
The meeting had been called for the
purpose Of comforting with Gates, who,
ii was understood, WAS in the city as
RocKtejler's representative to talk about
the needs of the great institution Of
learning Before the conversation had
been carried on great while Gates read
a communication from Rockefeller an
nouncing the gift.
OF the latest gift 100000 goes to the
university Internationally; to the re-
naming 52,t00,000 proviso is attached
that the trustees are to raise a similar
amount or Its equivalent between this
time and The beginning Of the year 1900
This additional money is to be exclusive
of any that may be pledged at this time.
The trustees say they have not the least
fear Of being unable to raise the full
amount and assert that the entire $1,000
600 is already as good as theirs. But even
should the trustees be unable to raise
the 100000, ltockcfelier's offer will not
become wholly imperative, for the reason
that he agrees 10 offset gifts as fast
as they are made up to the $1,000,
600 limit. by this means every dollar
given the university during the next
value. 1t Is the purpose Of the uuivor-
sity trustees to acquire more land for II
campus and also to erect all the build
inga originally planned Wheu these arc
completed, ii is said, the Chicago univer-
eity will be the finest ami best equipped
institution Of learning IN the world.
I;ockeIellcr's generosity to the university
IN past years is well known. Not only
was he its principal founder, but his in
terost in its welfare has been constantly
on the increase. He had already given
the institution 3I,GOU,O00 and the aGdi,
tionai endowment announced today will
sweIl the total amount to STG0o000.

Notwithstanding the admiration Wa
have for Whittier's poem of "The Bars.
foot Boy" and the interest we feel in tho
youngster, mankind in all ages has been
prone to shoe it's feet. Probably tho
cave dwellers had no shoes, but as coon
as man began to ha ye an existence worth
recording, he invented coverings for his
feet. The Hebrew scriptures, as ANTIQUE
as almost any writings, contain frequent
allusions to foot gear, making il certa;n
that shoes or sandals were in quite pen
eral use. In this connection, It is intar
estipg to note the kinds of shoes worn
by various nations.
The Portuguese shoe has a wooden
sole and heel, with vamp made of nat-
ent leather, fancifully showing the flesh
side of the skin.
The Persian footgear is a raised shoe
often foot high. 1t is made of lipht
wood, richly inlaid, with strap extend
ing over the instep.
The Siamese shoe has the form of an
ancient canoe, with a gondola bow and
an open toe. The sole is made of wood
and the upper of inlaid wood and cloth,
and the exterior is elaborately orna.
mented in colors, and with gold and Sill
yer.
The sandal worn by the Egyptians ia
composed of sole made by sticking to.
gether three thicknesses of leather. This
is held to the foot by passing band
a;ross the instep. The sandal is beau,i
fully stitched with threads of different
colors.
The Muesulman's shoe is of heavy
leather 1t is adjusted to the foot by a
wide leather strap, which runs from the
heel and buckles over the instep. The
only ornamentation is the fastening Of
two feather plumes on the right side Of
the toe.
In our own country shoes are of almost
infinite variety in both material and
style. There are those for the house
the carriage, and for walking. The
wearing of shoes, however, does not
imply that you should walk to

DURRAN7 TO D|E
Laws Retribution Upon the Murderer
Of Blanche Lamont, the Young
Montana Girl.
JURY OUT TWENTY MINUTES
Men Cheer and Women Weep Hyster-
ically When the Verdict Is
Read-Durrant Pales.

SAN Francisco, Nov. l.-Theodore
Durrant, assistant superintendent OF the
Emanuel Baptist church Sunday school,
was tonight convicted of the murder OF
Blanche Lamont, for which he has been
on trial since July - last. The jury was
out only 20 minutes and arrived at YER
dict on the first ballot AS there was no
recommendation for mercy the punish
ment was fixed at death. The scene in
the court room when the verdict was an
nounced will never be forgotten by those
who were present. Judge Murphy Tin
ished his charge at 800 p. ~. and the
jury retired. Although there was sup
posed to be but little prospect of ver-
dict before I or o'clock in the evening,
the throng of spectators who had re
manned in the overcrowdcd court room all
the afternoon to hear the judges charge,
settled themselves in their seats to await
the return of the jury. Mrs. Durrant
and the prisoner talked and laughed to-
gether as if AN acqulttal was foregone
conclusion. They were surrounded by
half dozen friends ami their conversa-
ton was animated. When it became
whispered around that the jury had
agreed upon a verdict ID hush fell upon
the little circle that bad gathered around
the prisoner in an instant. Durrant's
face, always pallid, assumed a ghastIy
hue and his mother became spet CHESS
Then toe doors at the rear of the room
opened and the Jury filed in and took
their seats in the box. An intense excite
uent followed The room, although filed
to its utmost capacity, was almost as
quiet as if it had been vacant, Judge
Murphy, who had retired to his cham
bers, was summoned and took his place
upon the bench. Clerk Morris asked the
usual question as 10 whether the jury
had agreed upon a verdict and Foreman
Warren Dutton arose and replied in the
affirm etive. We, the jury said he,
find the defendant, William Henry
Theodore Durra0t. guilty of murder IN
the uESt QtBTtG. AS tue aged IpEtu4dI-
pale and trembling. read the words that
fixed Durrant'5 fate low, rumbIing
noise like the roar Of d mob arose from
the rear Of the court room, and the next
moment men were cheering wildly while
women wept hystericaily III the excite
ment. The tumult continued for d min,
ute before anything like quiet could be
brought out Of the disorder. Judge
Murphy then fixed next Friday as the
day for pronOuncing sentence. The yer
dict fell with full force on Durrant and
his family, who had banked ali their
hopes on a disagreement. Mrs Durrant
was overcome by the news and Theodore
was for time broken, but he soon re-
gained his ca n and cooIly walked from
the room.
The case will be appealed to the su-
preme court and it is expected nearly a
year will eIapse before final decision is

No Show Left.

Hot SPRINGS, Nov. , The big fight
is off for good. ] is easy to see how it
never was really on so far as the state
OF Arkansas was concerned. Not only
is the Corbett Fitzsimmons match dead
and buried, but the Mahcr-O'Donncll
and Smith -Ryan contests are yet in the
future. Governor Clarke has won out
on every point at issue and has an UNI
qualified victory over the prize fighting
element. Corbett is tonight at his train
ing quarters at Spring Lake and I'itz-
simmons is in Little Rock, where he
will remain over next Tuesday. There
is no chance Whatevcr Of their coming
together, as FitZsimmons has PROMISED
the governor that he will not come to
Hot Springs while Corbctt is here and
says plainly that he has no desire to do
SO. Corbctt will remain in Hot Springs
and vicinity for some tiuc, but his
plans are uncertain and ne does not
know when he will start north. There
is no doubt Corhrtt and Fit
simmons individually have been
willing to fight all along, but
Iitzsimmons will take no chances
of going TO Jail and Coroatt will not fight
without the posting Of siue bet On the
part Of E'itz7immons, which he is unable
to do. Dan Stuart viii make a PROPOSE

consider nothing that does not involve
the posting Of a side bet Of at least SO

fight, for the Julian 'ltzslmmone com

GREAT NORTHERN.
General Board of Mediation Issues n
Statement.
ST.. PAUL, Nov. 1.-The special COM
mittee of the American Railway union,
who have been in the city for several
days, trying to hold conference with
President Hill, relating to grievances on
the Great Northern railroad, tonight
issued a long statement, showing their
attempts to have such conference, in the
course Of which they say:
After General Manager A. l.. Mohler
severed his connection with the Great
| Northern company, systematic reduction
of wages of employees especially those
unorganizeG, was begun, and the only re
sort the men had was to join the A, Il. u.
and do business on the patriotic Amerl-
can plan and strike for liberty and Jus.
| tice and the overthrow Of degradation
and oppression. This they did, as every
body knows, in a wise, clean manner and
returned to work after an agreement had
been signed by Pres. James }. Hill and
Pres Eugene V. Debs, for the A. Il. T.,
with the assistance of business men of
the Twin Cities.
Every article of this agreement has
been grossly violated by the company
through its officials, from the president
down. Employees have been discharged
without cause, wages have been reduced
and hours lengthened and all kinds of
abuses heaped down upon them. 10
offset this the employees elected delegates
to ID convention held at Devils Lake, n.
D.. Oct. S to ii last, with full power to
act for them. The convention (called the
general board Of mediation, elected A. L,
Bogart Of Willmar chairman and ". II.

ployes drew up schedule, covering the
