FINAL APPEAL OF MU D6RER HCLM5
~ nrerne Court OF PENNSYLVANIA Listened
- tt : uine

II 81 ufne tES.
Philadelphia, Feb. 3.-The appeal Of
the now celebrated murderer, H. H.
Holmes, from the verdict of a Philadel-
pl2ia jury, that consigned him to the
gallows for one Of his many crimes, was
the special order in the state supreme
court today, with Chief Justice Sterrett
presiding.
Vigorous efforts had been made by
the defense to secure a pOStpOnement
of the matter until the second week
in March, but at an informal confer
ence of the justices it was decided that
there We're no grounds for further de-
laying the presentation Of the appeal
to the highest tribunal. The brief Of
the defense, and abstract of the testi-
mony upon which the appeal is based,
covers some $50 pages of typewfitt Il
legal cap. This is the first case in
many years that the court has waived
its rule, insisting upon printed copies
of the brief and testimony, a special
exception being made in Holmes case
by reason of the poverty of the defend
ant; although the district attorney, in
the interest Of fair play, offered to have
the matter printed out of tn funds
appropriated by this department.
Holmes is represented by Lawyer S.
p. Rotan, while District Attorney Gra-
ham looks after the peoples side of the
case The decision of the court may
be announced within "a hours, or, on
the other hand, it may be delayed for
not more than month.

AN ELOQUENT APPEAL.


Mr.. Henderson of Iowa made an elo-
Guent speech against Mr.. Hainer's
amendment, which frequently evoked
applause.
"If I were a Catholic" said he, (which
| am not; if I We're n A. P. A, which [
am not; if the thunders Of the vatican
or the inquisition of Spain or any other
secret cabaI tried to chain my lips, [
would speak out because I believe it is
my duty. The amendment offered by
the gentleman from Nebraska, said he,
strikes with an iron hand the orphans
and insults those God-anointed instftu
tions which care for these little chill
dren. cloud applause)
"Gentlemen Of the American congress,
when 1 see helpless child not cared for
on the ground, and a kindly woman,
whether in the white garb or whether
infidelity, has stopped down to lift it
up, God give me a conscience that will
keep me from looking to see whether
he or she is doing it under the cross or
under the crescent My warrant for
sanctioning such an act was planted in
my breast. not by priest, not by oath
bound associations, but my Maker and
my mother" Cloud applause.)
Mr.. Hainer made an indignant reply
to Mr.. Henderson. He declared that he
was not Catholic nor a member of any
secret order. His sole purpose, he af
frmed, was to turn the money appropri-
ated for public charity over to a public
board in order that it might be under its
control.
Mr.. Hainer then moved to strike out
the next appropriation-S5400 for the
maintenance of children a t the St AIMS
infant asylum This was a Catholic in
stitution, and Mr.. Bartlett of New York.
in opposing the amendment declared
that it was the anti-Catholic sentiment
the spirit of the A P, A.--that was
ruling the delibera tions of the house.
He called attention to the fact that Mr.
Hainer made no opposition to the ap-
propria ton for the Washington Hospi-
tai for Foundlings, private institution.
The debate was prolonged and at
times quite exciting. The Hainer mo-
tion was adopted SO to %.
While the vote was being taken Mr..
Grain of Texas, who was opposing it,
called out: Il rejoice in the courage of
the republicans and regret the coward =
ice of the democrats"
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi then ar
ragned Mr.. Hainer and the majority
of the house for the illogical manner in
which it had voted to retain some ap-
propria tions and had rejected others.
Mr. Miner of Michigan suddenly put
an end to the struggle by moving to ad-
iourn. His motion was carried, 100 to
so, and at O'Clock the house adjourned.

A PAPER FOR THE FARMER.

The Farm Record of Indianapolis.
Ind. is bright. hustling, wide-awake,
sixteen page monthly journal published
at so cents year by G. Vincent, for
merly with the Nonconformist in Kan
sas, and it is thoroughly alive to the
needs of the farmers and full of sensi-
BILE and business-like suggestions as to
how the most can be made from farm
life. Most farm papers from tue East
have little in common with our west
ern and southern people, and, knowing
but little of our surroundings, they do
not reach the point of making them
selves Indispensable to the farmer.
This is not the case with the Farm
Record, for its editor was reared in the
West and spent last summer here and
IS fully acquainted with the peculiar
position of the western and southern
farmer. He is also familiar in gener-
al way with the needs of this class in
all parts of the country, having person
ally visited every agricultural state in
union. But he is now engaged in MAX
ing fight for the farmer that should
endear him 10 every farm home. The
grain ring has had in operation a sys-
tenn of weighing which has locked a
very large portion of your grain for
years past. Mr.. Vincent has probed
that ulcer and found a cure for it,.
He has arranged with Chicago firm to
handle the farmers grain without any
docSage and all grain will be weighed
under state supervision. G. s. Knipe,
OF Arlington, S. D., acting under the
direction of the Farm Record, sent a
carload of wheat to that market and
saved 4c per bushel. This is ONLY one
of hundreds.) You can save money,
too, on any grain you may have to sell
this winter. and if you have not car
load several can club together. You
need the Farm Record to give you full
directions and we will send that paper
one year free to every subscriber that
sends or pays us dollar on subscrip-
ton (either old or new during the next
few weeks. This is the most valuable
gift that we can give you, for it will
put you in the way to save on your crop
money that has been going to the grain
ring. You cannot afford to miss a
single copy and you should act quickly
and avail yourselves of this unparallel
ed offer before it Is withdrawn. 1t is
too good to last long.
