Mts. Nack's Reward.


NEW YORK, Dec. AFTER a con.
sultatian with Judges Maddox and
Smith, District Attorney Youngs de-
cided, it is said, to accept plea of
manslaughter from Mrs. Mack, the ac-
complice Of Martin Thorn, in the
murder of William Guldensuppe, ac-
cording to the Herald. The extreme
penalty for this crime is 20 years. i'm
prisonment, with a Communication of
seven years and seven months.
Mrs. Nack's lawyers before her con-
fession, IL is announced, came to an
understanding with the district at
torney that she would surrender her
self to the state as a witness only ON
condition of being allowed to plead
manslaughter. Mr.. Youngs saw the
force of this reasoning, that even if
convicted the woman would not be ex-
ecuted, and at the beginning of the
first trial in view of Attorney Howes
defense, felt compelled to accept her
confession.
Judges Maddox and Smith now see
the matter in the same light, aided,
however, in their conclusion by new
points which Mrs. Mack brought to
the attention of her counsel.

Thorn listened to the sentence with

without moving a muscle, and when
the judge had finished he inclined bis
head slightly forword as if bowing to

then handed up an affidavit applying
for an appeal. Justice Maddox took

The autobiography OF Thomas Coop
err, the English chartist, Is, as Carlyle
would say, altogether human and
worthy" and one of the most fasci-
mating records Of a strange and often
stormy career that can be read in any
language. With a vividness that ever
Carlyle might envy, II describes the
hard struggle OF Cooper's early years
how his poor widowed mother was
tempted to sell her boy to the village
sweep for money with which to pay
the rent OF their little cottage; how
he got n smattering OF the three RS,
and at 10 was ~apprenticed to a shoe
maker; how he learned by hook and
crook to read four languages, and ac-
quired. besides, as much history, math-
ematics and science as made him a
prodigy even in the eyes OF educated
men: how he became a schoolmaster.
then a journalist, and at last, in 1910,
flung himself heart and soul into the
Chartist agitation. Ii cost him two
years in Stafford gaol. Through the
kind Offices of Charles Kingsley he was
provided with writing materials. Mix
ing them with brains" he speedily
produced n number Cf short poems and
stories, a "Histor? ~ Mind" and, most
important OF all, N.gorous and imagi-
native poem in tie Spenserian stanza,
THE Purgatory c. Suicides" which
has gone through several editions. II
il Just about four years since Thomas
Cooper died, al the age Of 81. He had
outlived his fame, as he had outllved
his Chartism. Irdeed, we might say
of him what an American critic said
of Beocher, that. had he died sooner
he would have lived longer"

Spnrrows KIN u Pigeon.

This story deals with the sagaclty
and p~ugnacity OF the English sparrow,
and also shows how curiosity may get
an innocent creature into trouble. The
Riddle mansion, that stands In Glen
Riddle. Delaware county, has for some
time beer the nesting-p place for several
families of sparrows, and the birds
had become n regular pest. One day
last week Miss Riddle decided to get
rid of the birds, and mounting n lad
der, she tore out at least a dozen
nests from the caves OF the porch. The
old birds returning later and finding
their homes wrecked. held a noisy
meeting on the roof and then dis
persed. A stray pigeon that had been
roosting around the place for several
days came back late In the afternoon
and flew under the porch caves as usu-
al. The pigeon evidently noticed
something wrong. for several times he
few from the porch to where the dis
mantled nests lay. This caused the
trouble, for the angry sparrows no.
ticed It and suspected the pigeon Of
being the cause OF their despair. The
first thing the unlucky pigeon knew he
was attacked by at least twenty
screaming sparrows, who began peck
ing at him, and despite a brave resist
ancc the sparrows came off victorious
| and left n mangled corpse OF the field.
