Virtual Confessions Of Hci;ass to the
Murder OF the PIetzel Children.
PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-H. 4
Holmes, alias Herman Mudgett. has
virtually confessed to the murder OF
the two children, whose bodies were
found in the cellar Of a Toronto house.
1t was learned at the Office of the dis,
trict attorney during the two hours in
terview Holmes had with three mem.
bers of the district attorneys staff.
'Isuppose I'll swing for this" This
is the only remark dropped from
Holmes lips which in any way tended
to incriminate him. This is a practical
admission of Holmes guilt. Notwith-
standing Holmes remark, his counsel
says he can prove an alibi in his
clients case. He says that Holmes
was not in Toronto when the Pietzel
children were murdered. This, he
says, can be proved by Mrs. Howard,
Holmes third wife, who is at present
living with her mother in Franklin,
Ind.
The authorities place but little Gre
dence in the alibi story, and are salts.
fed Holmes is the murderer.

The architect, GARNER. divided his work
into three prime sections. the stage
Auditorium and the entrance, as he con
sidersd these the first requisites of an
opera house.
The grand feature of the structure is
the foyer, and it ranks among the first
attractions of Paris. On entering the
opera house from either the side or front
the visitor reach es the great circular ves-
tibule. In front is the grand staircase,
leading TO the foyer and facing the
numerous galleries, upon which are many
tiers of boxes.
No word picture can Justly paint the
rich magniticence of the foyer. 1t is
175 feet in length, 42 in width and SO in
height. Its design and decorations. with
those of the staircase, constitute Carriers
chief claims TO tame as AN artist. In
both he has fairly rioted in richness of
color. On the ceilings are the celebrated
paintings OF the late Paul Baudry, whose
beautiful work. however, can hardly be
properly appreciated, from the excess of
light.
On the sides of central picture, repre-
sentng Melody and Harmony, are two
grand allegorical figures of Comedy and
Tragedy. Over the doors are oval panels
on which children are depicted with IN
struments sym oolic of the music of ver-
ious countries. Tines paintings were at
once recognized as being among the finest
examples of the most ornate form of
mural decoration.

lean dollars were spent in rehabilitatint,
the diminished gluries OF :he place and to-
day it stands prominent among the fine
estates of the British Isles.
English noblemen who will do almost
anything for a fortnight's shooting on
well-stocked estate are almost as plentiful
as rain drops in April, and during the
hunting season the capacious Highland
hone of the Brad ley Martins has always
been taxed to the utmost. Every imagin-
ale outdoor amusement is placed at the
disposal OF the guests, and wine which
has been twice around the cape of Good
Hope to give it the delicate bouquet is
served unstintedly on the table. Two
years ago the l7-year-old daughter of the
family became the Countess of Craven
and the social status of the family is now
firmly fixed.
While the social accompl shments of
the Bradley Martins are of interest, the
way they manage affairs during the
hunting season is worthy of some atten-
rion. Those interested IN hunting will
discern considerable difference between
the methods of deer stalking in the
Scotch highlands and following the same
sport in the states. Deer stalking IS the
prime attraction at Balnlacan and the
season Just begun promises to be not
able one. A herd of two hundred of the
small Highland ponies well trained in
the delicate work of mountain elm bling
are kept on the estate. although the
ponies are not as popular today as they
once were. Still the lazy man out for
days hunt always starts out on the back
of one of these sure-footed little beasts,
and if the hunter be at all subject to dlz-
ziness or inexperienced when IN danger
Gus spots, 1T is much better to trust TO
the Intelligence of the pony. 1t is claim
ed that the hoofs of these little horses are
so deicately constructed that they know
at once if the ground is safe or unsafe.
In addition to the herd of ponies there
is small army of gillies stationed at
Balmacan. A gillie accompanies each
huntsman on days trip, also either
stag hounds or colies The latter variety
of dog has only come into general use in
resent seasons and it is claimed that
collie is better for tracking tne game and
driving it within range than the stag
hound.
Still there is 9 halo of sentiment sur

a matter of wonder to both Americans
and English people familiar with the
many obstacles which obstruct the mar
row path leading to social distinction in
that city of conventionalities. Many 9th
ers, more favored than the Bradley Mar
tins, have tried the road, but were forced
to turn back or stand before closed doors.
But the Bradley Martins displayed rare
tact, and after studying up the English
society field hit upon plan which Ameri-
cans, with similar ambitions, might do
we'll to initiate. Appearing in London
some seven years ago fresh from triumphs
gained by lavish entertaining in New
York, Mrs. Bradley Martins decided that
if the family could secure a fine hunting
estate it would be an easy matter to make
advantageous acquaintance.
With the millions of her father, Isaac H.
Sherman. at her command, money was
no object. and the 1000 acres comprising
the estate of Balmacan in ths Scotch
Highlands became one of the family pos

owing to the severity of the weather. Hay
and cotton grass must be distributed in
the isolated spots fiequented by the deer,
a task exceedingly dangerous when the
ground is covered with snow.
A good deer estate must be kept free of
must be killed off. Many huntsman
after twenty-mile tramp, in which be
has endangered his life elm bling to
alomst inaccessible heights, swimmin,
through icy loehs and crawling along the
ground for the last 500 yards to get
within safe range, has seen his game fade
away like smoke at the warning screen
of an old cock-grouse aroused by the
weary hunter.
Very few of the experienced hunters
attempt shot al more than 200 yards,
although it is a common thing to hear
amateurs boast of bringing down big
buck at anything from 500 to 1000 yards
The giliie who accompanies the hunter
carries a long spyglass. while the hunter
carries pair of field glasses. When
stag is sighted he may be a couple of
miles away, and it often means weary
crawl on hands and knees up and down
rugged hills with sides like the walls of
a house to get within range. 1t the hunts
man should happen to miss fair shot
after WORK of this kind he must either
brite the gillie with handful of silver
TO keep him silent or leave the country
in short order. The glllie cannot stand
a poor marksman unless he can pay gen
eruusly to be tolerated.
OF late years some OF the owners of
large deer forests have introduced
broken down thorough breds on their es-
tates TO take the place of the Highland
pony. But some bad accidents we're the
result of using the rattle-prained animals
and they are not very popular.
The man who tries riding a pony has a
harder time of it than the man who
walks, particularly if the chase takes him
up near the clouds. In the steep accents
he has to hang on to the little animals
neck, and while descending must brace
