Big Cash Receipts at Last Nights
Closing of Contests at the
Catholic Bazaar.
WILL CLOSE ON MONDAY NIGHT.
The Fair Will Take in Nearly Two ThOus
and Dollars-The Winners Of
Last Night.

Last night was, practically, the
close of the brilliant Catholic fair
which has been a distinguished suc-
cess in every respect.
On Monday night the usual auction
will be held, at which articles not
previously disposed Of will be sold to
the highest bidders. Many fine bar
gains can be secured at this auction.
Last night was remarkable for the
interest taken IN the various contests,
and also for the entertainment given
by Prof. Young, of San Francisco, the
mimic, who volunteered his services
to the fair. Prof. Young took num-
ber of characters, and impersonated
them with marked ability. He is a
clever impersonator, and his enter
tainment brought down the house.
The bicycle votes were counted at
10 o'clock. 1t is a $1O0 lady's wheel,
and it brought the remarkable cash
total of $44s.76.
The cash voted for each young lady
was as follows:
Miss Lasserre, $32476; Miss Marks,
$91 40; Miss Carman, $42.60.
DIR, Joerger won the gold headed
cane, for the most popular commits
stoned officer. He got 2571a votes.

cum, toilet set; Miss Davenport, sofa
cushion.
The total receipts tonight were
s64z33. Previously reported, $l,074

THORN WILL
TAKE THE STAND.
The Murderer of William Gulden-
suppe to Appear in His
Own Defense.
MACK ALSO WILL TESTIFY.
But There is Question as to How Man
Can be Witness Against
His Wife.

New York, Nov. 27.-There is every
probability that the case of Martin
Thorn, on trial for the murder of Will
lam Guldensuppe, will go the jury
not later than Wednesday and prob
ably Tuesday night. William F. Howe,
Thorn's lawyer, promised to finish his
side of the case on Monday, Thorn
will testify In his own behalf and ac-
cuse Mrs. Mack of killing Guldensuppe.
The other witnesses for the defense
will probably be Mrs Zeigler of West
Farms, whose home, it is alleged, Mrs.
Mack and Guldensuppe wanted, be :
cause it did not have a sewer, and
Herman Mack, Mrs. Nack's husband.
1t is a question whether Mack will be
allowed to testify against his wife
when she is put on trial for her life,
1t is understood that when the defense
closes Mrs. Mack will be called by the
prosecution in rebuttal to complete
her confession and accuse Thorn of
the murder. District Attorney
Youngs did not want to put Mrs
Mack on the stand again because she
made an unfavorable impression OF
the jury at the fast trial. If Mrs.
Mack is called again as witness for
the state it will be because the distric;
attorney is compelled to take thi:
course to offset the statement oi
Thorne when he charges her with the
killing. Mr.. Youngs says the reason
he closed the case Of the state without
calling Mrs. Mack as witness was
because, in his opinion, the states
case at present is strong enough tC
convict Thorn without the woman'i
confession. District Attorney Olcotl
of New York concurs with Mr.
Youpgs.

and wife arrived on the White Star
liner Adriatio this morning. The

The Gentleman From Fulton Takes
a Step Toward Convict
Reform.
ABSENT MEMBERS TO LOSE PER DIEM
Bill to Abolish Free Tuition at University,
But to Allow Poor Students
to Give Notes.

Atlanta, Nov. 27-The senate took
its usual Saturday rest.
The only thing of interest in the
short session of the house was the
introduction by MIR. Fielder of Fulton
of bill to establish a penitentiary
commission Of three members. The
first members are to be elected by the
legislature and the governor is to have
the power to appoint their successors.
They would receive 81 per day and
expenses while actually employed. The
commissioners are required to purchase
land containing iron, coal and water
power, and on this penitentiary and
farm will be established where con-
victs shall be employed in such ways
as to compete as little as possible with
free labor. The house seems to be
absolutely at sea on the convict ques-
tion, and it is probable the legislature
will end its session without doing any
thing on the most important and
urgent question before it.
Hill, of Troup, today offered bill
to abolish free tuition at the State uni
versity and branches. but allowing
such students as cannot afford to pay
the tuition to give unsecured notes to
the trustees, and to pay the same after
graduating.
On account of the continued small
attendance, which blocks legislation,
the house today passed resolution
that, hereafter, members who get
leaves of absence and go eff on private
business when in the service of the
state, shall forfeit their per diem Of
81.
