GEM NOT ANXIOUS TO DIE
Wants TO Re Separated from Macksn
Whnse Annoy Him.

Sheriff Heller has detailed two Consta-
bles as a special squad for Paul GEM and
John Mackin, the condemned murderers.
After they are r~esentenced, which will
probably be tomorrow or Saturday, the
death watch will be increased.
The two men eat n sleep well. GEM
has expressed a desire that he and Mack
in b. separated. ETe gives no reason for
it; but it is probable that Mackin's fe-
ligious turn of min and his praying and
reading religious books are offensive to
him. Without being aware of GEMS de-
sire in the matter and without regard to
it, Sheriff Heller had already decided to
keep them apart after their sentence.
GEM is greatly disappointed at the re-
fusal Of the Court of Errors to grant
him a new trial. His lawyers had
fully expected it, aid he shared their con-
fdcnce. GEM is not SO anxious to die
now as he was at first. He his evidently

SCOTCH KALE
The Kind That will Thrive and
Please chs Palate.

ANEZ
The dwarf Scotch kale is grown in i'm
mense quantities for the New York mar
kets, as we'll as for those of other large
cities. and is considered by many the most
desirable member of the Brassica family
for winters use. The variety is more
grown thar any other because OF its
hardness, as well as for its excellent
quality and its great beauty. It's leaves
are as finely curled as the best varieties
of parsley and are quite as handsome.
The seed should be sown from the mid
die of July to the middle of August for
winter and sarly spring use, which makes
winters use the seed IS sown about the
first Of June and the plants are set the

is to keep the ground perfectly clean, but
without cultivating deeply. surface work
ing being all that is needed. The early
crop will be needed for marketing as soon
as 1t has been touched by frost, and win
not be tender before then; frost, too, is
necessary to IA away a certain strong
taste peculiar to this vegetable
fering only in the darker green color of
its leaves. which are also a little coarser.
It IS not as hardy as the Scotch kale,
ing the. winter as far north as New York,
while the outer leaves of the Siberian are
frequently destroyed by frost during win
ter. Both these varieties are largely
grown in Virginia for the northern mar
kets. and usually prove a profitable crop.
We find the most carefully selected Of
both varieties-are the ones that will en-
dure the most cold without injury. The
Scotch kale IS the leading variety in the
market; the seed Of this IS readily dis
tinguished by the color, which is Of a
ligfltish brown. while that of the Siberian
Is very black. There are many other

sold under as great a variety OF names.

The policy which Mrs. MutschIer holds

Am USEMENTS.
Academy of Music.

Saved from the Sea-" now running to
big houses at the Academy is an English
melodrama of stirring interest and con-
tanning comedy, pathos and a strong
love interest. The producing cast is n
of recognized strength, including some
well now players in the cast. The pro-
duction is under the personal direction of
Mr.. William Calder.
Theatre-goers will be interested in the
engagement of Mathews & Bulger in the
new play A Gay Coney Island" be-
cause the title suggests a departure from
the groove, and because the venture in
augurates the starring career of two
young men who have been seen to ad-
vantage during the past few seasons in
several different comedy organizations.
Plays dealing with seashore incidents
there have been, perhaps, but complete
productions and entire scenes devoted to,
exploiting the phases of life existing al.
these summer retreats have, for some I'M,
explained reason, been hitherto over
looked by the Industrious dramatist. The
selection of quaint old Coney Island for
the first venture into the field should
bring about a happy result. AT Gay
Coney Island will enjoy a prosperous
career. Mathews & Bulger are best
known, perhaps, as creators of songs
and parodies and dispensers of up-to-date
comedy. They have been surrounded
with a comoany of merit and a scenic
equipment of elaborate proportions is a
feature of the production.
