The peach-like bloom and delicacy of
her flesh had altogether Disappeared;
her skin appeared drawn and dry as
though parched in tropical heat. Her
hair was disordered, and fell about
her In clustering showers OF gold; that
and her eyes were the only signs of
youth about her. A sudden wave of
passion swept over my soul.

She listened-she advanced a little
towards me-a faint smile dawned on
her pallid lips,-she whispered:

voice dropped into a cadence of in
tense melancholy softened by tender
ness.
"Aye,-Fabio! What wouldst thou

heard me, and the smile frightened
more warmly on her countenance.
She came close to overwhelmingly

Beauty? Mere food for worms-I

There ensued a silence. She still
embraced me, but her eyes roved
yer me as though she searched for
some lost thing. The wind tore fur
iously among the branches OF the cy-
press outside. and screamed through
the small holes and crannies of the
stonework, rafting the iron gate at

sentence Passed Upon Maria Barberl
for Numbering Cataldo.
NEW YORK, July lS.-Sentence Of death
by electricity was to-day passed upon
Maria Barberi, who. on April 26th. cut
the throat of Dominica Cataldo, boot
black with whom she had been living
and who had cast her of. The execution
was set for the week beginning August
10Th.
The story of the killing of Dominica
Cataldo by Maria Barberi is clouded by
no uncertainties. CircumstanIial evi-
dence plays no part in u. Although the
District Attorney was unable to bring to
the witness-stand any actual eye witness
OF the tragedy, there was no contention
on the paN OF the defense that this young
girl had not drawn razor across the
throat of the man she is accused Of muir
dering on April 10Th last.
The strongest part of the evidence
against the defendant was furnished by
Patrolman John NJ. O'Rourke and Mr..
Cimeboli, an editor OF an Italian news
paper, to whom Maria Barberi made a
confession At the station house after the
arrest. PatrOlman % OROurke's knowl-
edge of Italian WAS questioned by the
lawyers for the defense. and it was not
until he Lad translated a column from an
Italian newspaper that he was allowed 10
testify. Both policeman and editor swore
that the young woman had admitted
numbering Cataldo and had seemed glad
of it.
Then the prosecution rested and the
redeyed and hysterical defendant took
the witness stand in her own behalf. She
is not pretty. Her figure is squatty, ana
with the exception Of a white Well-shaped
forehead and small ears there is nothing
redeeming In her face.
Although she had sobbed necessarily
throughout the earlier hours Of the trial.
so that the Toombs angel was obliged to
supply her with fresh handkerchiets, she
became more seli-possessed on the wit
ness-stanG.
She described the manner in which the
murdered man had forced his attentions
upon her every day as she went back and
forth to her work in a tailor shop. He
had promised marriage and she had be-
lieved him. Finally he began to evade
her and the memory of freely-given
kisses became as wormwood to her soul.
and passionate love WAS turned to pas
sionate hate, and in a frenzy Of passion
she cut his throat with razor
The defense rested upon the question of
mental responsibility, but the jury de-
cided in short order that she was respon
sible and her onvicton followed.

REPUBLIC OF FORMOsA.
Most Short-Lived Government Tha

Most short-Lived Government That
Has Ever Existed.
WASHINGTON. July 19.-Details of the
declaration of independence made by the
island of Formosa have been received by
the State Department from Charles
Denby, United States Minister to Pekin.
Denby confirms the statement made that
| a Iepu blican form of government was in
stituted, and says:
"This republic will pass into history as
the most short-lived government that
ever existed. The Japanese have already
captured Ial Petlfu, which is only
eighteen miles from The capital, and order
viii soon reign. Ex-Governor Fang was
inaugurated President on the 18th OF
May. He and the various members OF
his Cabinet have all left the island.
''It is very questionable whether the
people are at all concerned at the change
of rulers. II is said that the movement
for independence was organized by the
officials and that the people were su-
premely indifferent. There were $4,000
Chinese troops, who were well armed
with modern rifles, but the Chinese will
n OF fight.

A translation OF the official declaration
of independence, which is inclosed in
Denby's communication, says. in part:
"Now, therefore, we. the people of For
rnosa are irrevocably resolved to die be-
fore we viii serve the enemy, and we
have in council determined to convert
the whole island oI Forinosa into Re-
publican State, and have determined that
all our State affairs shall be organized
and carried on 10y the deliberations and
decisions Of officers publicly elected by
lis, the people," TangChing. formerly
Chinese Governor of the Sialdn and

proclamation as President Of the Re-

Prima Donna's Choice tor Cycling.
Having smashed masculine hearts,

critics and swayed vast audiences. sump-
tuous Lillian Russell has subjugated the
some time refractory wheel. TO the vel
vet voiced prima donna the saddle of
bicycle is but newer throne, taking the
place of that property dais from which
she has so often calmly surveyed her tri
umph over doubling first nghters. And
Miss Russell on wheel is as potent a
drawing card rs she has been upon the
operate stage
She took her third lesson recently, and,
mark you, wheeling sisters, she does not
"wabble." Miss RusselPs little girl,
Lillian, Jr., better known as Daughty,
took her first lesson at the same time,
and enthusiasts declared that the child's
nrst attempt was something really won
derful. At any rate, both mother and
daughter were well pleased with their
progress. Miss Russell said in one breath
that she considered cycling the most ex-
hilarating of experiences, and that she
could never adopt boomers Her inten-
ton is to get quiet, simple suit with
a skirt. While she thinks that many
women look we'll in double barreled pet

Food-Ffsh In the Delaware River.

Two of the Fish Wardens of Camden
County, \. j.. made a report recently to
Fish and Game Protector Shriner of the
catch OF foodfish in their territory during
the shad season in the Delaware River.
The Wardens in their report make an ex-
hibit of figures which is both astonishing
and gratifying to those who take an in
terest in nsh-cultural matters. Accord
ing to the two Wardens 264, $50 shad, co.,,
600 herring. s.. 1000 pounds of carp and r..
900 pounds of striped bass were taken III
legitimate manner from that much of the
Delaware River which is embraced in the
district over which they have jurisdic
ton. These figures are very large. prob
ably double those of former years, yet
they do not represent more than tithe
OF these species of fish taken throughout
the length of the Delaware River. Above
and below Camden County, both on the
New Jersey and Pennsylvania shores,
are other districts whose annual catches
are nearly as great. and, in one or two in
stances, greater than the one for which
the figures are given. 1t is safe to say
that the total catch of shad and herring
from the Delaware River this year is at
least twenty times as great as the aston
ishingly large catch reported from a por-
ton of Camden County.-Philadelph
