NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Near to the 0aIows, Buffalo Woman WIN
Receive Justice In Canada.

4 BUFFALO, N. T., January 26.--The
4 recent action Of the cabinet Of Ontario
In granting at the eleventh hour a new
trial to Mrs. Olive Sternaman, who
was under sentence to be hanged at
Cayuga, Ont, for the alleged murder
OF her husband, has created decidedly
favorable impression in this city, of
which the woman Is a native. Mrs.
Sternaman came back here to live
last year after the death Of her hus.
band and was arrested here on extra
dition proceedings. The Efforts OF the
Canadian authorities to obtain posses
sion Of her person were vigorously re-.
sisted and the case attracted interna.
tional attention. The judge before
whom the proceedings were held, how
ever, held that he was required only
to pass upon the validity of the extra
dition papers and not upon the ques-
tion OF her guilt or innocence, and in
the result she was taken across the
border. The evidence at the trial was
decidedly weak, but the jury was in
huenced by the country gossip an
tagonistic to the accused, and she was
convicted and sentenced to death. Ac-
cording to the testimony in the case,
her husband, George Sternaman, was
confined to his bed nearly three months
before his decease. Throughout his
illness his wife was devoted to him
ard he died uttering expressions Of
tenderness and sffection for her.
During the early stages of his sickness
the attcuding physician diagnosed
his ailment as paralysis, but later had
a consultation, that the wife insisted |
upon, and the comforting medicos de-
cided that his ailment was shrinkage |
of the liver. After his death there
were no suggestions of foul play until
the widow set about the collection of
so ,O00 insurance on his life. Then
sinister rumors were set in circulation,
the body was exhumedsan an autopsy
held, which resulted in the finding of
arsenic in the stomach, liver and
DThIu. Au lGulCtuSub WAS luuuu
against Mrs. Sternaman on this evi-
dence, and as before stated, she was
extradited from Buffalo. On the trial
it was shown that the sick man had
Tor weeks before his death been kept
alive by doses Of strychnine and arsenic
on the physician's pre-
Icription, and tina. it would haze been
had not his entire system
,een found impfegnated with these /,
'oisons, but nevertheless, the intelli- {
ent jury came to the conclusion that /
be wife was nurdaress and the a
ldge imposed a capital sentence. t
he action CT the dominion authorities /
rightly regarded as a cutting rebuke i
. both Judge aud jury and as q a
riumph of the deliberation of states &
men over the gossip Of a couatry vii Q
age. There is but little doubt that t
he woman, who has been within 1
wenty. four, hours shadow Ut the c
will be promptly acquitted t
pom her new trial, which will be Z
7atched even more closely on the I
american side Of the border than was g
be previous trial. E

Laziness.

Laziness is a bad disease and, like
many other kinds, is often self i'm
posed. In the case of many indi-
viduals it. is an inherited malady,
and consequently hard to GUST from
the system, but it is often the case
that the disgusting temper is
brought on persons by their own
deliberate selfshness, by vastly
discreditable disposition to shirk the
inevitable burdens incident to living
a decent life Laziness of this kind
is one of the cardinal sins and
should submit the obnoxious offend
er to the discipline of a treadmill
More particularly is laziness often
sive to the young and healthy. To
learn to work and work oheerfully
is the central lesson of life. Begin
to learn it early, eschew laziness as
the most disgusting of all faults and
one that will surely end in hopeless
for, depend upon it, none
can bes insensible through laziness
as to be in the end incapable of SUI
fering. Nature is, in the event of a
nonpayment of her demands, stern
and merciless creditor. New Or
