KANSAS SINGULAR LAW.

Provides for Capital Punishment But No
One Has Ever Been Hanged Under It.
Kansas has a law on its statute books
relating to capital punishment. Under
its provisions defendant convicted of
murder is sentenced to death. but the
sentence cannot be executed until the
prisoner has served one year in the
penitentiary and the governor given
his official consent by signing death
warrant. The law has been on the
statute books ever since the admission
of the territory to statehood, and, al
though some of the most heinous
crimes ever committed have disgraced
the state, no governor has been will
ing to sign a death warrant.

a New Application Of scripture.

There was rejoicing in the village at
the killing of a pig. Being dead, II was
cut up; a neighbours cat stole secretly
into the larder, and annexed q piece of
OF pork, which she brought in triumph
to her mistress. Next day the clergy
man of the parish visited the old wom-
an. who recounted to him the remarka-
BILE sagacity of the beast. "Itwas quite
beautiful, sir" she said piously. ito see
the way the sweet creature brought me

mind what we read in the Bible about
Elijah and the ravens The Realm.

Sne was standing IN the miuuie vi tue
company when the curtain was raised
for the encore, and the applause grew
louder; it was for her, principally; pub
lie opinion had pronounced in her favor.
and it was pleased to be enthusiastic.
Again she was called out; this time only
the hero came with her, and as she
stood there bowling, flushing with pie
ure beneath the thin rouge. suddenly
she held out both hands to the audience
with gesture that thanked and ap
pealed to them at once, and at that
moment the little white dog she had
first carried liz escaped from some one
back, and, running across the stage
bounded about her barking squeakily.
and as the curtain was falling again the
people saw her pick up the little animal
and hide her face in his shaggy coat
in the foyer the critics were discuss
ing her. She was un success fou. There
was charm, a magnetism and an earn
estness that won them. Crudities she
had, but they were few and trivial. and
would shortly disappear; awkwardness
was a word unknown to her; the press
would support society"
Back in her dressing room the debut
ante was sitting with her head on her
arms, on the low dressing table. The
mirror reflected her figure, absolutely
motionless, and the bare little room.
which the maid was putting to rights
after changing the debutante's gown.
She was clad now in a delicate blue.
and the curves Of her neck showed ex-
qulsitely white and pure against it. The
auburn hair had been done high on the
small head, and an endless bit of blue
ribbon wound it's way through the
twists.
The dog was curled, sleeping in her
Jap, and she was thinking-think
ten minutes before she would go on,
how deadly tired she was-and there
was queer. huttering pain about her
heart; it would not let her draw a long
breath. Never mind one made but ore

bed in the abandonment of despair.

A METEOR.
The Triumph Of a Debutantel.

Already the curtain had fallen upon
the st act Of the theatrical event of
month. the 9rst night OF new play and
the town debut Of a young aspir-
ant for stellar honors, which might
prove meteoric or OF duration; it de.
pended upon herself. She had been the
talk Of newspapers and OF people; pub
lie curiosity was rife, owing to judicious
advertising, rival cliques observed. and
to sincerity Of purpose and con-cien-
tioas work in her art, her supporters
asserted
This bandying back and forth Of her
name and yet no furnishing hint ap-
preaching caught public attention; the
position seemed anomalous, somewhat;
it amused, and then interested, and all
the world and it's neighbors had Hocked
to form its own opinion and pass judg
ment OF its own-or rather to choose the
one already made, which suited them
the better. 1t requires mental exertion
to have an original opinion; it is far
easier to use that OF some one else. and,
characteristic phrasing, utter it as ones
own; and human nature as class dis
likes mental effort; few brains may do
the thinking Of the word.
The play had begun charm ingly; it
unrolled itself amid artistic settings
that ELECTED admiration from connais-
seurs, and clothed it's naked plot in
sparkling, flowing epigram that de-
lighted the audience; it required intelli-
gence to catch always the double en-
tendre, ard there is pleasure in feeling
oneself equal to demands.
But until the debutante came on they
were manifestly impatient, and when, at
last, she entered, calling to some one
back as she came, there was complete
silence as they guaged her, walking
down as unconsciously as though no
eyes we're watching her every motion,
the dainty white gown simple as only
createur could accomplish, the ripp-
ling auburn hair caught in loose knot
in her neck, and tiny fluffy dog held
close to her breast; thus she stood. the
one natural wholesome figure in the
play. The house caught it's breath a
second and then burst into applause;
physically. at least, they approved her.
She spoke her lines with an ease and
Inconsistencies that made every wo-
man in the house feel it required only
naturalness to be a good actress; the
actress; the hard work that accom-
fishes it was a matter unknown to them,
but they applauded unstintiDgly where
any chanc, offered, and the debutante
appreciated their welcome, though in
wardly her artistic sense was Jared
when the dialogue was stopped by the
noise. But she was grateful to them,
SO grateful; their sympathy helped, but
again she felt that annoyance that she
should allow herself to think of the
audience. She was woman, after all,
as well as an artist, and success meant
SO much.
The play went on; epigrams flew about
her unheeded; many lost point by her
presence; it refuted them, and the relish
departed; then came sense OF con-
straint. and gradually she was left alone
with the hero. Him she amused; it
was a phase of woman hitherto I'M
known. this unsophisticated but irtellI-
gent creature. who. to his experienced
eye, possessed possibilities yet unde-
veloped. His role was that OF one who

The Osborn Mil.ions.

New York, Feb 27.--Leila @. Henri
ques and Mary A. Mason have brought
an action in the supreme court to set
aside the will of their sister Miriam A.
Osborn, mother of Howell Osborn, and
for a petition of her $4,000. 900 estate
among themselves and Henrietta Olive
Trowbridge, a niece of the decendent, as
if Mrs. Osborn had left no will The
case came up before Justice Andrews
of the supreme court yesterday on mo-
ton of the Central Trust company and
John W. Sterling, as executors and
trustees under the will, who are made
defendants, to make the complaint more
definite and certain, and to strike out
allegations that John w. Sterling has
been managing the estate as if he were
sole executor.
By the will of Mrs. Osborn, who died
on March Ia, 1884, the bulk of her estate
was left to charitable purposes. She
provided for the founding of the Miriam
A. Osborn Memorial Home association
with half a million dollars and an I'M
defined share of the residue, and also
provided from the residue for a memo
rial hall to her husband, Charles ]. Os-
born, at Yale college, and for the Asso-
citation for the Relief of Respectable
Aged and INDECENT Females.

HORSE NOTES.


Boston society is much interested in
the proposed horse show at that city,
and every horseman in the country
will wish it every success, Already
quite a number of special prizes have
been contributed. Mrs. Jack Gardner
heads the list with a goodly sum, as a
prize for pair to ladys trap, appoint
ments also to count, to be driven by a
woman. Mrs E. V, r. Thayer has do
mated prize for best single turnout
driven by woman. A few among
the other specials offered are as fol-
lows; Mr.. Oliver Ames, pair of high
steppers, not under 141a hands high,
nor over 151 hands high. Mr.. Robert
c. Hooper, for the horse making the
best performance over the four sue
cessive jumps, said jumps not to be
under five feet, and horse to be rid
den by member of some recognized
hunt or country club. Mr. Brice j. AL
len, for a high stopper over ISL hands
high. Mr.. A. S. Bigelow, for a pair
OF high steppers over 15,1 hands high.
The executive committee of the Boston
horse show is composed of Messrs. Rob-
ert c. Hooper, e. Rollins Morse, S. Mall
colin Forbes, Frank Peabody, jr., John
Thayer and Frank Seabury, which
should be a sufficient guarantee of a
splendid success. The show will be
held in the Mechanics hall in the sec
ond week of April.
Mr.. e, II. Hartman, who so success
fully managed Tuxedo day last fall,
proposed now to establish an Orange
county horse show circuit, to include
trotting races as special features. The
shows will be made social events of
no small Importance. Mr.. Hartman
invited Messrs. Grinnell Burt, Thomas
p. Fowler, Clinton w. Wisner and
Frank w. Campbell of Warwick to
cooperate with him in starting the ball
at Warwick. A dinner to about eighty
breeders and others was given at the
Tuxedo club house recently The effort
to amalgamate the horse show and
trotting interests is to be commended
and encouraged.
At meeting of the Illinois Board of
Agriculture, at Springfield, it was de-
cided to hold horse show at Chicago,
in connection with the fat cattle show,
if a suitable building can be procured.
AS the Coliseum, now building, will
be finished in May, the building ques-
ton would seem to be settled, thus
clearing away the only obstacle.
The Brooklyn Riding and Driving
clubs horse show committee held a
meeting Thursday evening, January %,
and arranged some of the preliminary
details for the clubs fourth annual
horse show. AS predicted in the last
issue of The Rider and Driver, the show
will be held from May to 8 inclusive.

The Requests of the Will of Walling fnrd
Mantle Remembered Various Rela-
tives, His Home Baptist Church and
Missions.
Wallingford, Feb. 27.-Much curiosity
has been manifested since the death of
Benjamin D. Sutlief as to the provisions
of his will. Various estimates have
been made of the value of the estate,
some of which have been as high as
$4,000. 1t is now thought that it will
not inventory more than $4,000 to
$4,000.
Yesterday afternoon the will was ad-
mitted to probate and the various be-
quests are as follows, being given in
the order as contained in the will, which
was executed July 10, 1895:
Five hundred dollars in trust to Maria

clearly appeared that the said charges
We're untrue in fact and wholly unWar-
ranted and unsupported by any reason
able grounds of suspicion, Lord Dun
raven has neither retracted the said
false charges nor offered any apology
for making the same. Under these cir
cumstances it is, in the judgment of
this club, manifestly improper that the
Earl of Dunraven should continue to
enjoy the privileges of honorary mem
beship therein.
Therefore
Resolved, That the secretary be in
structed to inform the Earl of Dunra-
ven that his resignation an an hon
orary member of the New York Yacht
club is requested by the club"
This resolution was received with a
storm of applause, and the members
shouted out such remarks as Good"
and That's the way to settle it." The
resolution was quickly seconded, and
it looked for time as if the proposition
would go through with a rush.
Secretary eddie, however, read a
cablegram from Lord Dunraven, which
had a soothing effect on the members
and led ]. Pierpont Morgan to propose
an amendment to the resolution to the
effect that action on Captain Ledyard' s
resolution be deferred until February
81.
The Dunraven dispatch was as fol-
lows:
London, Feb. u.
''Oddie, New York Yacht Club, New
York:
Forwarded letter Rives Saturday;
Phelps to-day. DUNRAVEN.'
Mr. Morgans amendment was adopt
ed by vote of 25 to 10.
New York Yacht club meets tonight,
when definite action regarding Lord
Dunraven's case will probably be taken
by the members.
