A PITILESS JUDGE.
MOST REMARKABLE DEATH SENT.
ENCe IN CRIMINAL ANNALS.

mexican MurOerer-N IL Ouon sIteo ~
Ono of tho sIost Thrilling soenss Ever
Witnessed In Courh Room.
Judge Benedict, who was associate
Justice Of the superior court Of New
Mexico for thirteen years. from 1858,
was an original character in many
ways. One Jose Maria Martin had been
convicted in his court of murder under
a state of facts showing great brutality
and with no mitigating circumstances.
whereupon Judge Benedict sentenced
him to death in the following Ian
guage:
"JoseMaria Martin. stand up. Jose
Maria Martin, you have been indicted.
tried and convicted by jury OF your
countrymen Of the crime Of murder,
and the court 10 now about to pass up
on you the dread sentence of the law.
As usual thing. Jose Maria Martin,
it is painful duty for the Judge of
court Of justice to pronounce up
on human being the sentence
of death. There is something hor.
rible about it. and the mind OF
the court naturally revolts from
the performance of such duty.
Happily. however, your case is reliev-
ed of all such unpleasant features.
and the court takes positive delight in
sentencing you to death.
You are young man, Jose Maria
Martin, apparently Of good physical
constitution and robust health. Ordi-
narily you might have looked forward
to many years Of life. and the court
has no doubt you have, and have ex-
pected to die at green old age; but
you are about to he cut off in conse-
quence Of your own act. Jose Maria
Martin. 1t is now the sprinstime: in
little while the grass will be springing
up green in those beautiful valleys,
and upon those broad mesas and
mountain sides flowers win BIO bloom

carols, and Nature will be putting on
her most gorgeous and most attract

and men will want to stay. but none Of
this for you. Jose Maria Martin; the
flowers will not bloom for you, Jose
Maria Martini the birds will not carol
for you, Jose Maria Martin. When
these things come to gladden. the sens
es of mon you will be occupying a
space about six by two beneath the
sod, and the green grass and those
beautiful flowers will be growing above
your lowlt head.
: THE sentence Of the court is that
you be taken from this place to the
county jail: that you be there kept
safely and securely confined in the
custody of the sheriff until the day ap-
pointed for your execution. Be very
careful, MIR. Sheriff. that be have no

The Burlesquers Please "a Large audience

\ good sized audience witnessed the
first night of In Gay Paris" at the
Margaret last night, and judging from
the applause the farce called forth, it
apparently pleased everybody. There is
no plot to In Gay Paris" and it is
divided into three acts simply to give
the performers time to take a breathing
spell. From the moment the curtain
goes up until it falls for the last time,
the stage is a continual round Of spe-
cialties all of them put on by clever
people
Rem Shields and Max MILAN. the
principal comedians, are team of fun
makers that is hard to beat, and they
kept the audience convulsed during the
entire time taken up by their sketches
Two clever acrobats are the Mohring

neatest acrohatic turns possible, they
also won praise for their singing and
grotesque dancing. Ed. Marsh is

lady members, sang few selections

what by a near approach to horse play.

ARE YOU GOING TO KLoNDIKE?
LEGISLATION FOR ALASKA.
No Territorial Form of Government Yet.
A Committee Conference.


Washington, Jan. 10.-Senator Carter,
oil the senate committee on territories,
and Chairman Cox of the house COM
mittee had a conference to-day, going
over what legislation is necessary for
Alaska. II was agreed that nothing
should yet be done in the way of giving
Alaska territorial form of government
in view of the different character of the
population of that district. 1t was de-
cided that action should be taken, CIV
ing more United States commissioners
for the district. There are eight of
them, and the present proposition is to
make the commissioners subject to APP
pointment by the courts. Both gentle
men thought that the present lack of
power of the towns and the communi-
ties 10 levy taxes should be rectified and
authority given them for such pur-
poses. The matter of representation of
the district in congress was also inform
ally discussed and the conclusion
reached that the Alaskan people should
be accorded delegate in that body.
Ii was also suggested that court be
created in Alaska with three judges to
sit at several convenient points, like
Circle City st. Michaels and Sitka.
Another proposition brought forward is
the codification of the laws relating to
Alaska. AT present the laws of Oregon
are extended to Alaska, las far as APP
plicablee This, however, is not alto
gether satisfactory. and the point is
made that the laws governing the dis
trict should be put on a more definite
basis

A GREAT PLAY.
"MichaeI StrogcG' spIendidiy Produced
at the Union Theater.

The great Russian drama, Michael
Strogoff," was presented at the Union
Family theater last night to large and
appreciatiVe audience. The play was all
that could be desired and was elegantly
staged and costumed. n. S. Gregor in
the title role, was at his best. and
proved himself a conscientious and
painstaking actor. Miss May Nannary
was a sweet and innocent Nadia, Win
ming at once the sympathy of her hear
ers. Misses Whitney and Sutton, as
well as Daily and Graham, the two cor
respondents. were all that could be
desired in their respective characters
The balance of the cast was above the
average and helped to make the produc-
ton OF Michael Strogof" the best that
has yet been given AT the Union. The
orchestra Of six instruments greatly
adds 10 the play.

THE OREGON SENATORSHlP.
Corbett's Case to Come Up Next Monday
On an Adverse Report.

Washington, Jan. lot had been OK
peeted that the committee on privileges
and election would meet to-day TO take
up the claim OF II. w. Corbett to a seat
in the senate from Oregon on the APP
pointment of the governor of that state,
but owing to the absence of Senator
Burrows. the meeting will not be held
until next Monday. Mr.. Burrows is the
only republican on the committee who
will oppose the seating of MI. Corbett
lie takes the position that the decision
in the Mantle case is a precedent
against the appointment of senators
where the legislature has had an oppor-
tunity to act. which cannot be put
aside His vote will thus have the effect
of sending the matter to the senate on
an adverse report. as without MIR. Bur-
rows the committee is tie.
