A..,fR Toronto.

She Almost Recovered Her Children
>..sifA Toronto.
CHICAGO, Apl.o July 1s.-Mrs P.etzei.
who left late last night for Toronto to fden-
tify the bodies IF the two children found
in the cellar of the house at 1G st. Vincent
street, talked about her past life and her
husbands dealings with Holmes just be-
. fore leaving. Mrs. PietZel Is broken in
health and mind, the victim, she believes Of
a hypnotic infiueuce exerted by Holmes.
Her story was straightforwardly told and
1t Is impossible to, believe after being any
length of time in her company that she
was an accomplice of Holmes in the COM
1anssion of any OF his crimes.
~ Mrs. P.etzel says her husband thought
Holmes honorable and told her to trust
him. She last saw her husband August ~.
1894, when he went to st. Louis. Holmes
afterward told her the body said to De that
of Pietzel was not her husbands. She lay
sick with her baby and could not go to
Philadelphia to identify the body. She
trusted Holmes with her children and he
said he would educate them. Holmes at all
times acted kindly and like gentleman.
She. way poor and did as he said. He told
her Pietzel was still alive and she should
see him. She went to Toronto to hunt for
the children. and met Holmes. but ne gave
her the slip and she never saw him again.
She thinks her children were In Toronto at
that time and that Holmes hid and killed
them then.
LONDON, July 1s.-Inquiries here regard
ing the statement of Holmes, suspected of
having murdered the, -Pitzel girls at Tor
onto, show that he did not tell the truth
when he told District Attorney Graham of
Philadelphia thaA the children were taken
to England by the Williams woman.
Holmes said he put the girls in the keep
ing Of Minnie Williams, who came to this
city and established a massage resort at
8 Vedar street. There Is no Vedar street
in London. and wnen vigo and We're
streets. the nearest names to those men
toned by Holmes. were searched, no trace
was found of q woman or of an establish
ment answering the description of those
referred to by the prisoner.

Sunday Pay and the Street SwccDinr
Department.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
An item published in Wednesdays Star
says that Secretary Smith Of the Interior
Department declined to allow per diem ex-
aminers in the Helena. Mont. land Office
pay for work done on Sunday. claiming
that Sunday is not day for labor, and
that he is not authorized to pay for work
done on that day." This recalls a state
ment I read in The Star q few weeks ago
that certain per diem officials in the street
sweeping department of this city receive
pay for Sundays, although they do no work
On those days. Now, If Secretary Smith
can find no law that will authorize him to
pay per diem men for actual work done on
one Sunday will The Star, in the interests
of the general public, inform us where tho
District Commissioners get authority to
pay per diem men for every Sunday in
the year, when it is well known that no
sweeping or inspecting is done on those
days? 1t strikes me that the office Of the
street sweeping department should BE
closed on Sunday. and trust the Commits
sioners will see that it is done. A.

son, vicar general of the diocese Of Dem
verC Col. confirms the report that the priests
Of this diocese have united in the petition

TRENTON, N. j., July 1S.-In the Collins
murder trial this morning the address to
the jury was begun by Chauncey Beasley.
who ridiculed the theory of the state that
the students were afraid of their lives, for
1t was proven that they followed Collins
and Downs. The state had failed to show
any malice in Collins act. and it was purely
one of self-defense. Counsel said that
Student Scott Of Kentucky was to blame
for the whole trouble. as he was undoubt-
ediy looking for a scrap. Assistant Prose-
crtor Apgar made a strong plea for convic-
tion, saying that Collins story had been
contradicted by Cochran in important par
ticulars, and was not to be believed. He
said there was nothing in the case to justi-
fly the plea of self-defense. The shooting
was deliberate. He said the people Of the
country should be assured by q conviction
that they can send their sons to Princeton
College, for the county has jurors who will
punish crime.

Popular Music ut Marine Rand cop,

certs.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I have read with mingled amazement.
amusement and indignation, Mr.. Larimore,s g
complaint in last evenings Star against
what he, evidently in all seriousness, terms
the very classical and high-quality" music
given us by our Marine Band at their va
rious concerts. While do not recollect the
fourth concert" which the gentleman par
ticularizes, take 1t for granted that 1t was
neither better nor worse than the average
than the one, for example, of last evening
at the Capitol. While there was nothing
strictly classical on that program. the
nearest approach to it was the "Cavaileria
Rusticana" fantasie good sound music
which, I am happy to say, received the
greatest legitimate applause of the even
upon that most popular of Strauss waltzes
THE Blue Danube" At the last White
House concert the same number and the
"Semiramide'' overture again the nearest
approach to elasticity vouchsafed us by
Prof. F'anciulli. received the most generous
appreciation of the listeners This should
dispose of the statement that the public
wish lighter music. OF the thousands who
attend the White House concerts, a very
small proportion are present to hear the
music; the great majority are there to see
and be seen, and they don't care a rap
whether Mr. Fanciulli's band plays the
Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo' But
this small portion-the real listeners-do
care.
While 1t is true that many persons are
still infants In musical SENSE and natur-
ally prefer infantile melodies, I do not
think that the means of developing and
improving their musical perceptions should
be cut Off and their diet be forever Confined
to music Of the ra-ta-ta-tum style. Be
cause child delights in Mother Goose is
no reason why 1t should be given Mother
Goose exclusively all its life 5, M. G.
