North Dakota Wife Murderer
Granted q Respite at the
Last Moment.
The Execution Postponed for a
Week and Communication
Is Expected.
Trial Judge Conyinces the
r. Governor That Doubt of
! Guilt Exists.

BISMARCK, Nov. IL. Myron r. Kent,
who was to have been executed this
morning, has another week to live at
least, the governor having granted him
respite of that length of time. In all
probability this interposition of the ex-
scutive is due largely to the attitude of
Judge Mcconnell, who presided at the
trial of the ,ndemned man. The fol-
lowing additional message from Judge
Mcconnell was received by Attorney
Hildreth:
Having studied the matter over night
am satisfied that it Is Unnecessary for
me to 60 to Bismarck. The whole matter
is in the hands of the governor and he
must act in the matter. have just sent
sent him the following message: ~
"That the writing in the black book
should be SO infinitely written beforehand,
the absence Of Ehrlichman on both trials
and the possibility of his tampering with
the black book, and lack of kents motive
are some of the things that have often
caused me to hesitate and doubt. Many
things occurred on the trial prejudical to
the defendant, and it is hard to tell their
weight on the jury in fixing the death
penalty. 8a33
It will be seen that this telegram is
in itself a strong plea for communication
and urges reasons therefor, which,
coming from the trial judge in the
case, are not to be lightly considered.
1t would seem that Judge Mcconnell
believes that it would not be right to
hing Kent upon the evidence given at
the trial, and his position in the matter
undoubtedly has great weight. It is
believed that if Judge Mcconnell will
present in person the reasons which
lead him to doubt the justice of the
sentence, it means Communication of
sentence for Kent.

The journal from W Washington says
Secretary Olney, having brought the

issue with honor and credit to himself
and the administration, is now known
to be ambitious to dispose Of the Cuban
question before his retirement as secre'
tary Of state March 4 next.
If Secretary Olney is able to secure
the support Of the president, as in the
Venezuelan question, the members OF
the diplomatic corps i'll Washington are
Of the opinion that the. war in Cuba
will be brought to close within the
next 20 days by the intervention Of the
United States on plan already
mapped out by Secretary Olney.
In the event that Secretary Olney is
permitted by the president to handle
the Cuban question as he was given
full latitude to do with Venezuela, he
will force Spain to succumb to the in
evitable as he did Great Britain. That
he can settle the Cuban war more
speedily than he did the Venezuelan

1t can be positively stated in this con-
nection that if Cleveland comedies with

Several years ago nervous and 1ll1t- crate congressman. made bad break ill grammar while speaking in Washing ton. The papers nailed the mistake as funny incident and with one accord printed it in their headlines. The read CTS took up the eatehword, for such it soon became, and bandied it about from city to city, and other papers enlarged upon it.
 It became slang, and much employed slang at that. Inside of a month at least 60, 900, GOO men and women i'll the Union were asking five times day on an av- craze, Where am at?"
 The funny men got hold of it and ran it to earth, or rather into the ground. It caused laughs, then smiles. then sick ly grins, and finally only gentle rip pie of a faded laugh, and at last not even a movement Of the fun loving mus cles of the human face Still the Cat" did business at the old stand and caught new customers. People. got so accus- toned to saying it ill fun that some of them forgot to stop when they talked in earnest, and many n well educated man has found himself asking some question of the kind and putting the "at, that irrepressible little word, in where it never belonged. Today it is no longer q joke, but it is safe to say that two-thirds of the population of the nation use it unconsciously where not one-third did before.

TALES OF THE TIMES.
Some Funny Incidents of Every Day Life
 the World Over


 the World Over. 9 A funeral procession in which were 10 open carriages and 28 violinists, all playing their instruments as they march ed through the snow and slush ahead of the hearse, was novel sight that drew a throng of spectators the other day to the triangular space where First, Hous- ton and Essex streets, New York, unite. Anody Lojos, Hungarian gypsy musi- clan, 24 years old, who had for few months been connected with Hes Ala der's gypsy band, died suddenly few days ago at his home in the center of the Hungarian colony. He was unmar- ried, but had many friends, who gath cred at 8 o'clock yesterday morning to attend his funeral
 When itwas ready to leave the house, 8 violinists in black suits and silk hats formed i'll line, abreast, to head the pro cession. Thon 20 others formed in pairs behind them. The hearse came next, and last of all 10 open carriages filled with friends of the dead man. The fact that open carriages were chosen, al- though tho day wascold enough to make the spectators shiver, caused comment among those not familiar with gypsy ideas of propriety. and so did the use of yiolins only in furnishing music for the funeral
 When the procession was ready, the viohnists led the way once around the block followed, by more than l, 1000 spec tators, and then the body was carried to St Elizabeth s church, where the usual Catholic services for the dead were held Members from all the Hungarian bands ill the city wore present.
