COSTS AN OBSTACLE.
Appeal to United States Supreme
Court in Murder Cases.

Appeal to United States Supreme
Court in Murder Cases.
A new obstacle confronts the attorneys for
Strather and Smith, the convicted murder
ers, whose sentences of death have been
suspended till January next, to permit
them to obtain decision from the United
States Supreme Court upon the question of
the qualified murder verdict. The cost of
obtaining the writ of certiorari from the
supreme tribunal is s25 each, and the ap-
plication must be accompanied by a dozen
or more printed copies of the whole record
in each case. Altogether the cost in each
case will be from 500 to $50, and Messrs.
Truit and Roodhouse, for Strather, and f.
Mckay Smith, for Smith, ara fearful that
their clients cannot procure the money
Strather is very anxious to live and to have
his sentence commuted to life imprison-
ment, and he will make an effort among his
relatives and friends. Smith is hopeless and
stupid, and has expressed regret that he
was not hanged this week. He will not
and cannot get dollar to save his neck.
In case the men fail, as seems likely, the
attorneys will endeavor to have the United
States pay the costs. on the ground that
their clients are paupers and because of the
Importance of the cases.
The application for the wrts should be
made October l, when thu fall term Of court
begins.

THE BOND SUBSCRIPTION
One for SIC, 00O, 900 Received From q Life
Insurance Company Today.
1t II Hoped, However, That Every
Bond VIII Go to the Mid
die Classes.

Among the bond subscriptions which
rolled into the treasury today was one for
$10,OOO,O00 from a prominent life insurance
company of the United States. Many sub
scriptions for large amounts are received
daily.
The record of small subscriptions has not
In any way decreased. The possessors of
small amounts of money realize that this
opportunity has been given them and may
never be presented again. They find that
they are given the advantage over big in
stitutions and wealthy concerns, and they
are delighted.
None VIII He Crowded Out.
While the rush of the subscribers for
small amounts is something wonderful,
treasury officials do not care for the i'm
preston to go throughout the country that
the issue will be eaten up in few days 10y
small subscriptions. This impression would
have the effect of making holders of small
sums of money believe they would be
crowded out and would discourage their
bidding. This is not the case. 1t is proba-
BILE that every man in the United States
who subscribes for less than 500 of the
bonds will get what he wants, no matter
If he does this within twenty-five days
from now. 1t is the hope of the treasury
and of President Mckinley that every bond
will go to the middle classes of the coun-
try.
Attempts of Wealthy Institutions.
1t is recognized at the treasury that many
attempts will be made by wealthy institu-
tons to get possession of large amounts Of
the bonds by having individuals subscribe
and turn the bonds after they are
awarded. There will be cases where this
will be done, but the officials will watch
this closely and will put a stop to 1t in
every instance when detected. The pro-
gram of big concerns eager for the bonds
will be to have individuals subscribe for
amounts under $500 and to get possession
of the bonds afterward. 1t is declared that
the large corporations recognize that the
bonds are worth far above what is being
paid for them, and they do not propose to
be left out If they can get in by an indirect
route.
OF course the treasury has no feeling
against people or corporations able to cub
scribe into thousands and millions, but the
officials are trying to carry out the letter
and spirit Of the bond act which was to
put these bonds into the possession of the
Iaborfng man, farmer, mechanic, clerk, etc.

THE SATURDAY STAR,
Some of the Noteworthy Features In
Tomorrow's Big Paper.

Tomorrov's Big Paper.
The Saturday Star this week will be a
partio ularly interesting number, filed from
beginning to end with timely and well
written matter on great variety of sub
jects.
Naturally the war has a great influence
in debating the character of much of the
contents of a great newspaper these days,
and The Star will, of course, maintain its
position in the front rank OF those publish
ing authoritative articles on various feat
ures of the war.
To the women tomorrow's Star will be a
delight. for it will contain a fashion letter
from one of the leading customers of Paris,
who has not heretofore contributed to its
columns. While there is strong and nat
ural feeling among women in this country,
just now, against buying French goods.
there can be no objection to adopting the
ideas of French designers and having them
worked out in America by Americans and
with American goods
In the matter of fiction The Star will
keep up to its own high standard. In addi-
ton to the instalment of Robert w. Cham
bers' thrilling story, ashes of Empire"
and short story of adventure for boys,
there will be capital tale entitled, The
Hermit Priest of the Santa Fe Trail Ii
IS pathetic story by Henry Inman, au-
thor of The Great Santa Fe Trail, and is
based upon legend of Ell Cumbre del Soil
peak derives its name from the fact that
cave OIL its side was for some years the
home of Matteo Boccalini, a priest who
lived there in solitude, and who finally per-
isbed at the hands of an unknown assassin.
The romance gathered around his memory
is the theme of this touching tale
Among the other features of tomorrows

cial note:
