JOHN MOORE SENTENCED.
Last Chapter In HutohInson's Bloody
Tragedy Written.

1Thkeuy NEitNoh
HUTCHINSON Kan, May s,-The
closing scene in the Moore murder
case came Saturday evening, when
John Moore was brought before Judge
NJ p. Simpson to receive his sentence
for the murder OF his Ave children,
The largest crowd wos present that
was ever in the courtroom. Mrs
Moore waited between the Jail and
courthouse until her husband was
brought out, Then she threw her
arms around him, and chung to him
until put aside by force. She followed
into the courtroom, and her means
and sobs could not be quoted When
asked II he had anything to say, Moore
replied; mo, sir" Judge Simpson
gave the usual form OF sentence for
murder In the first degree-that the
prisoner be confined at Lansing for
one year and until tho death warrant
be signed by the chief executive, and
then be hanged by the neck until dead.
The wife followed Moore back to the
Jail and, crouching down upon the
porch which surrounds the building,
watched her husband through the
bars until she was forced by the Off
GERS to go away. All that Moore said
to his wife at parting was; Don't
cry, Mat; take as good care Of your
self as you can"
Moore will be taken to Lansing inn
mediately.

THEATRICAL SCENERY.
stage Pictures Are Now Painted
Upon Tough Brown Paper
for Portability,

Except as regards the part that
mechanism plays the scenic artists of
Italy are the best in the world, as eff
fective painters, and the fact is so we'll
recognized in these days of almost
all scenery being done by contract-a
resident scenic artist is getting to be
rarity-that great trade of this sort
has sprung up between the painters of
Italy and the managers everywhere.
And this IS particularly so as regards
companies that come to America. So
heavy has been the cost of transporting
tons of scenery, and SO eXacting have
the customs officials been of late years,
that the generality of managers at one
time found it cheaper to have new
scenes painted after they arrived. But
the Italian system has largely done
away with all this, for it includes the
painting of the scenery on large sheets
of peculiarly tough sort of brown
paper, these being numbered and
joined together with unerring accuracy.
y recelt grand opera production in this
country depended scenically upon these
sheets of paper alone, and not even the
Oldest playgoer in the house could dis
tinguish any popularity.
OF course, the sheets are spread upon
canvas in the ordinary way and a
''toucher-up' is required after they
are spread, but the system is immense
ly useful when a new production is
taken from one capital to another at
n great distance, and the Italian artists
are sending their sheets to managers
all over the world.

PRINCE OF NAPLES.
he Has Presented Monte Cristo Is
land to His Wife.
A Small Domain, But One That Has
Been Made Familiar to Every
Reader of Fiction by the
Elder Dumas.

The young prince of Naples has pur-
chased the island of Monte Cristo as q
present for his charming wife, and has
erected there hunting lodge, which he
proposes to make his headquarters
whenever the fancy sei2cs him to flee
from the glare and hustle of court life
and to enjoy few days hunting and
shooting in a place that knows not the
telegraph or the postman, and that al
though a part of Italy, is practically a
terra incognita, even to the Italians
themselves. The island which the
prince has bought is an insignificant
little strip of land, and yet there is a
fascination about it which renders the
news of its purchase of extreme inter-
est to the thousands in all countries
who are familiar with the name of
Monte Cristo.
AS seen from the Mediterranean, the
island is conisal neck of granite, five
miles in circumference and 1000 feet
high. In stormy weather the sea
dashes fiercely against it, and it is not
easy to make landing. Neither does
it contain anything likely to attract
the ordinary tourist. The ground is
mainly covered with powders, and
there is not an acre of land which can
be cultivated. On the other hand, the
sportsman and the naturalist will find
many treasures amid this mass of rock.
Wild goats have long been suzerains of
the place, and partridges have long
made it their home. The chirping Of
the grasshoppers is heard on all sides
and beetles luXuriate in the dense
shrub and grasses which are found here
and there. Myrtles and olive trees
spread in all directions, forming many
a. labyrinth, and old linchen walls the
deformity of many an uncouth rock.
There are few places in the world
where a treasure is more likely to have
been buried, and for the reason that in
bygone ages the island of Monte Cristo
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-12-23

was a favorite resort of smugglers and
pirates. Therein lies its past history,
and, if some of these old outlaws could
only speak, they would surely tell many
a tale of daredevil deeds done amid
the desolate rocks in the days when
revenue officers were still unknown
and smuggling was still an easy and a
profitable pursuit There is indirect tes-
timony that many a jovial banquet was
held here by reckless Italian Robin
Hoods, many from Corsica and Sardinia,
during that memorable epoch when
Lorenzo the Magnificent was playing
his superb role in the city of flowers
and there is more than one legend
which tells how African bandits fire.
quently found the island Il sure place
of refuge. And yet all this time the
island was, strictly speaking, uninhab-
tied, being at the best merely tempo
rary place for those whose hands were
against every man as every mans hands
were against them.
Italy has owned this barren place
from time immemorial, says the New
York Herald, and about 25 years ago
there was some talk of establishing
penal colony there. According to one
authority, considerable progress was
made in this direction, but it is evident
that the experiment, if tried at all, was
not a success, as otherwise the island
would hardly have been sold to the
prince of Naples. There was certainly
grim irony in the thought of transform
ing into prison for criminals the very
place which for so long was haven of
refuge for criminals.
That the prince and princess of
Naples will heartily enjoy whatever
days they may spend on this rugged and
romantic spot is certain. Both OF them
are fond of outdoor life, and there are
few better sportsmen than the prince
in Europe, and there are very few wom-
en- who are more skillful than the
princess with a shotgun or rifle. She
frequently goes on shooting eNpedl-
ton, and rare, indeed, is the day on
which some trophies do not fall to her
gun.
If the prince and princess so desire
they can be as isolated on their island
as they would be in the heart of Africa,
but with this difference, that within
few hours after the within seizes them
they can be transported from their
oasis TO the heart of Italy.

BOKHARA.

The mosque of Bokhara is a big,
ugly building, and near it is the tower
from the top of which criminals used
to be hurled. 1t is unocupied now, ex-
cept by stork, which has built nest
at the top.
Travellers are never charmed with
the beauty of Bokhara, for the houses
are all built of mud with no windows
and merely an entrance door. The rea-
son for this is the Moslem dislike of
letting their women be visible. To
avoid having the women look out of
windows the easiest plan is to have no
windows at all.
All bazars are on very narrow
streets, each street tenanted by the
same craft. The bakers bazaar is one
whole street, and so is the silk mer-
chants. This is convenient when one
wants to shop. Curious things are for
sale there-sheaves for knives worked
in wool and adorned with tassels and
tufiteikis-little skull caps to wear be-
meath the turban. Turbans are taken
off in the house, because they are
heavy, and these caps are worn to
protect the close-shaven heads. The
bazars close at three or four o'clock in
the afternoon, and then the whole
town cooks its dinner.
Most reservoirs of Bokhara are I'M
speakable, though the water is too
precious to waste just because it is not
clean. Naturally, these ponds from
which the native population get water
are the source of many diseases, one
of which is curious. When person is
attacked by it swelling appears on
some part of the body. The native doc
tor opens the swelling and finds sort
Of worm resembling a transparent
thread The problem then is to ex-
tract 1t without breaking it, for it is
generally about two yards long. This
interesting illness is not worried about
by the natives in the least, though it is
needless to say foreigners would as
soon drink poison as Bokhara water.

NURSERY CARS,
Here Is n Wall from bachelor Who
Is Particular About Travel.
Ing Companions.

The innovation of nursery car upon
our ralways-or, at any rate, upon the
long-distance trains-would be an in
stitution hailed with delight by all men
and most women, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
How many men who do not them
selves smoke invariably travel in a
smoking carriage because there they
feel more secure from an invasion of
children and babies than in any other
part of the train.
Babies form class entirely by them
selves in the category Of unpleasant
travelling companions, and there are
probably few who at some time in their
lives have not had experience of the
noisy, sticky-fngered, peppermint
sucking, dear little children, who tram
pie on your toes and deposit luscious,
half-suclled gobs of taffy on your trous-
crs in their endeavors to reach the WIN
dow to put their heads out, whence
they are promptly hauled back by anx-
ious mothers or nurses, and cry; or the
babies in arms who placidly assimilate
milk from a bottle until jolt of the
train makes them choke, having at that
moment more nourishmeEt than they
can possibly deal with; or the inquir-
ing child who plays with the hinges of
the door until the guard slams it; or
the child who is perpetually feeding,
and throughout the journey sits in
semitorpid state sucking oranges, the
all-pervadng odor of which fills the car
riagc.
Babies are all very well, but baby
in a railway carriage, like bull in q
china shop, is out of place.
