Woman Takes All the Blame for .
Murder Her Fiancs Committed.
The supreme court of Mexico has
asked President Diaz to pardon Maria
Montesillos, who, some time ago, was
sentenced to 20 years Imprisonment
In Belem Jail for murder she never
committed. The crime for which she Is
suffering punishment was the killing
of Pascaul Montafio, in family quar-
rel. Miss Montesillos' lover, Piquinto
Torres, was the real murderer, but be-
cause she loved him Maria was willing
to take the penalty. She took all the
blame for the murder and during the
preliminary inquiry by the third crimi-
nal judge, and afterward at the trial
by jury, stoutly maintained that she,
and she alone, was responsible for the
death of Montafio, whom she had killed,
she said, to free herself from his con-
slant courtship and dishonorable
propositions. Torres, therefore, got
off scot free, ard the woman, as the
murder was considered to have been
committed under aggravated circum-
stances, was sentenced to 20 years in
prison, sentence which she cheerfully
accepted. But Torres, when he got
out, was unfaithful, and jealousy then
proved too much for Maria when she
learned of this. She presented the
clearest proof that she was innocent
and Torres guilty. and showed letters
from him to that effect. Her first at
tempt to secure relief was made before
the superior tribunal and was unsuc-
cessful, but the supreme court has just
set aside that decision and asked Presi-
dent Diaz to grant her freedom.

COST OF THE INSANE

Year.
EACH AsYLUM's EXPENSE.
Cost In Lower Peninsula Fixed
at AZ Cents Per Day Per Cap
ita-In the U. Il. so Cents.

The annual cost of maintaining
the insane of Michigan is little APP
preciated by the average citizen,
says, Lansing dispatch This
is one of the items which go to
make up the blanket item of "gen-
eral expenses of the state govern
ment. Including all of the items
the cost of maintaining the Michi-
gan asylum at Kalamazoo for the
last fiscal year was $2l9, 797. 08; the
daily cost per capita was 48 cents
and 4 mills; the weekly cost per
capita, 1888 and 8 mills. Eastern
asylum at Pontiac total cost, 1928
1913. II; daily cost per capita, 81
cents and 8 mills; weekly cost per

asylum at Traverse City-total cost,
$21l, 2O4 20; daily cost per capita,
81 cents and 5 mills; weekly cost per
capita, $4.02 and 4 mills. Upper
Peninsula asylum at Newberry-
total cost, s112,97459; daily cost
per capita, sl.24 and mills; week
ly cost per capita, 1913 and 2 mills.
This shows that the aggregate
cost of maintaining the asylums of
Michigan last year was $767, 769. "a.
Deducting the items of clothing and
the special appropriations, which, of
course, vary from year to year with
the needs of the institution and the
current expenses and the total cost
of maintaining these asylums outside
of special appropriations for per-
manent betterments, was 1856, 806. OF.
Acting on the above showing the
joint boards of control have fixed
the cost of maintenance for the
three lower peninsula asylums at
AZ cents per day per capita, and of
tho upper peninsula asylum at so
cents.

SALOON sTRAws ARE COSTLY.
Particular Care Required in Picking

1.-THE straws through which we t1a-

free lunches" said red-faced man who
sat at table in the st. Nicholas cafe
slowly slipping julep through couple
of straws, says the ST. Louis Republic.
II just found this out the other day and
have felt sorry for the saloon men
ever since, because every fellow who
uses a straw feels that it is his duty
TO destroy it with his drink. The sa-
loon men get their supply Of straws
from the big glass houses, and the most
OF these establishments keep regular
force Of hands employed all through
the summer season cutting and prepar-
ing the straws for use. Usually some
body has to be sent to the country to
select the straw from the farmer, and
then it has to be handled with great
care in getting it to the city. This, OF
course, is an item Of expense which
must be made ont of the saloon men,"

SHED THEIR TEETH.
A Peculiarly About the Muskeilunge
Fish.

Fish.
A few weeks ago 1 advanced what
was to me the curious information re-
garding the shedding of it's teeth by
the muskellunge during the summer
months, says a writer in Forest and
Stream. 1 now have confirmation on
the matter advanced at that by Mr.. H.
L. Stanton, of Chicago, and I believe
the phenomenon properly to be re-
garded as established. Mr.. Stanton's
observations were made in Wisconsin,
and his original informant had seen
the PHENOMENON in Canada. Now comes
NJ. II. G. Mccartney, Of Chicago, who
has observed the same thing in the
waters of Cass and Itasca counties
of Minnesota. Mr.. Mccartney says
that last spring in May and June the
teeth of all the muskellunge taken in
Woman lake and adjacent waters were
sound and normal! On July 10 he ex-
amined fish which showed jaws red
and infamed, and with some of the
teeth missing. In August still more
teeth were found to be absent in speci-
mems examined. In late August and
in September it was the rule that no
teeth at all would be found in the
mouths of the muskellunge taken. The
muskellunge taken in October all
showed perfect teeth. Mr.. Mccartney
intends to keep record on this matter
next year. He does not know whether
the teeth are shed yearly or not, but
knows that they are shed sometimes.
