death. Mrs. Place was different. Hel
death scene was lacking in sensational
features. There was no noise, no mani
festation of terror. A plea for heaven
ly mercy were the only words that
broke the stiffness Of the death cham

ed Mrs. Place while in Jail and who
witnessed the painful ordeal because
the condemned woman wanted her to
be with her to the last
Mrs Place murdered her step-daugh-
ter in most fiendish manner and made
an almost successful attempt on the
life of her husband. She was convicted
of murder in the first degree and SEN
fenced to be executed in August, 1893.
Her execution was stayed by an ar
peal to the Court of Appeals for new
trial. 1t was denied and March 20 was
set as the new date of her execution.
Then from New York came a protest
against the execution Of woman.
Gov. Roosevelt was appealed to. He
said If she was insane he would save
her life and had commission appoint
ed to examine her. They reported that
she was sane and Roosevelt said then
the law must take its course.

Cattle for Cuba,

1t is interesting to note that General
Brooke has been instructed to remit the
Dingley duty on fifty thousand head of
| cattle to be exported to Cuba for the pur-
pose of stocking ranches in that happy
island. Presumably, all the arrangements
have been made in advance to supply the
animals which are to be passed through
this temporary open door, and no doubt
the officials of the War Department could
tell a good deal about the movement.
There may be no connection between the
two facts, but it is reported that the
Detroit and Rio Grande Cattle Company,
in which Mr.. Alger is said to be the chief
factor, has sold out its Western rancho
and that the stock from 1t is being shipped
eastward. A letter from the locality of the
late enterprise states that there were about
thirty thousand cattle on the property
which, at the time of writing, were being
rounded up and transported as fast as pos
sible.
Without venturing an opinion on the
subject, it is possible that the Detroit and
Rio Grande Cattle Company may have dis
posed of its American holdings in order
to engage in the healthful and profitable
stock raising industry in Cuba That would
account adequately for the suspension of
the customs duties. Otherwise, such a
movement would not be surprising. Since
the Spanish war it is perhaps a fact that
the demand for Western steers has fallen
off, because of depression in the butcher
ing and canning industries. Secretary VIII
son thinks that our export trade in en-
balmed beef and timed meats has been
reduced in value by many millions of dol
lars annually. The extreme vigilance which
Continental Governments are exercising
with regard to our beef products, and the
oppressiveness of their inspection ordl-
nances possibly might both be avoided in
the case OF meats shipped from Cuba,
where grasses are said to be as nutritious
as anywhere else, and where boric and sally
cilic acids and preservatine can be pro-
cured as cheaply as in the United States.
The advantages of Cuba as -Ameri-
can stock region may be SO great that, at
ter the pioneer syndicate has introduced
its fifty thousand beeves, and the maxi
mum duty is once more put in force, other
cattle corporations may follow. Generally
speaking the scheme seems TO possess
much merit from the point Of view of the
schemer

Russin's New Heir Apparent

(From the Chicago Tribune.)
With the death OF the Grand Duke George,
the invalid brother OF the Gar the title OF
Czarowitz passes to the younger brother, the
Grand Duke Michael, who is not yet twenty-One
years of age This solves the problem of what
TO do with the unfortunate weakling who stood
next TO the Russian throne. and who was utter
ly untitled for any of its responsibilities But ii
does not solve the troublesome question Of
a direct heir to Car Nicholas The recent birth
OF a third daughter has removed still further
the probability of his having a son to whom
he may transmit the As long he has
not a male child it is certain that the opposi-
tion elements in the Empire will group them
selves around the heir apparent As Nicholas
is liberal in his ideas the traditon-incrusted
conservatives, represented by the Dowager
Empress and the powerful Pobyedonostseff, will
naturally seek to impress their ideas upon the
Grand Duke Michael. He is frail boy with a
promising face, but it is too early to predict
what kind of ruler he would make if he should
ever become Gar. The chief point is that the
reactionary elements tend 10 influence him and
make him hostile to his brothers modern ideas
