to the regular first-class sleeper now In

in these ordinary sleepers Pullman
rates are reduced onc-half. so that
passengers have the choice OF paying

CouIdn,t Run Away.

There are times In war when one &C.
tive brain is equivalent to great many
guns. Witness this incident of the Ger
man revolution Of 1S4S, told to the Trib-
une by German-Amerlcan citizen of
New York:
We were short of men, and had a
large number Of prisoners to look after.
That did not worry US as long as we
were not moving. but one day we had to
make forced march.
The country through which we were
t0pass was hostile, and extreme watch
fulness was necessary. We had few
enough men as 1t was, and we knew
that our prisoners were ready to run at
the first opening.
Finally young officer made bril-.
liant suggestion, and 1t was promptly
carried out. We ripped the suspender
buttons from the prisoners trousers
took away their belts, and knew we had
them. Their hands were busy after
that, and fast running was out of the
question.
We made the march safely, and do
not believe that even Yankee ingenuity
could have invented simpler solution.

through the jail corridors. She feared
death. Mrs. Place was different. Her
death scene was lacking in sensational
features. There was no noise. no mani
festation of terror A plea sor heaven
ly mercy were the only words that
broke the stiffness Of the death cham-
Der. Her execution was no more re-
Voting than If the victim had been a
man.
But 1t had unusual features, most
notable of which was the presence Of
two women who had come upon the
warden's request. One was DR.. Jennie
Griffin. of Troy. who accepted an In
yitation because Gov. Roosevelt had
said that a woman physician should be
present and the other, Miss Mary
Meury, of Brooklyn. who had befriend-
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
tenced 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 protest
against the execution of a woman.
Gov. Roosevelt was appealed to. He
said IL she was insane he would save
her life and had a commission appoint
ed to examine her. They reported that
she was sane and Roosevelt said then
the law must take its course.

SEA- sCENE MELvLLEs LATEST EXPERIMENT.

intendence of Past Chief Engineer
George II. Kutz, U. S. N, an officer
who Is well acquainted with Melville's
plans. Specially prepared messages,
to be placed inside the casks, are now
en- route across the continent. In few
days these messages will be inclosed in
the casks and the northern journey
will begin. BY means of Pacific whal-
Ing fleets, whose cooperation has been
generously granted to the society, and
also by the United States cutter Bear,
acting for the United States hydro
graphic service, the casks will be
shipped northward. OF the fifty, TWEEN.
ty-five of them will be carried by the
steam whalers of the Pacific Steam
Whaling Company. fifteen by the rev
enue cutter Bear ana ten by whalers
owned by George Siebers & Co. Dur
ing the next year it is contemplated to
send fifty additional casks.
To Determine Polar Drifts.
The plan Of operation, so far as can
be determined at present, is to de-
posit these casks on ice foes, north of
both the American and the Asiatic con-
tinents, for the purpose of determining
the polar drifts. These drifts are be-
lieved by many geographers to pass in
opposed directions. one northwestward
from the Siberian coast. and which is
assumed to correspond with the drift
of the Fran; the other northeastward
from the archipelago lying north of
America and issuing eastward in the
sea that lies west of Greenland.

end Of each century approaches the

thinking and naturally the same ideas
that presented to their great grand
grandparents appeal to them with the
first blush of something original.
A century since, as the year 1900 APP

filed with a good deal Of discussion as
to whether 1900 or 1901 signalized the
beginning of a new century. One of
the most entertaining and interesting
papers on this subject is comprised In
letter written by Gen. Philip Schuy-
Ter of historic fame, Feb. IL, 1910. 1t

Mrs. Angelica Church, and was in

alone, for the statute which prescrlbes

shall be imperative II the criminal
happens to be a woman.
But the laws machinery seems to get
out of gear when a woman Is Involved.
A sentiment that has Its inception In
the purity of woman is held up to pro-
tect the most degraded of the SEX Are
the female criminals Of the lower

degradation precludes their realization

At some one of these various stages the

Only twice In fifty years have women
been executed In New York State. In
both cases strenuous efforts We're made
to save them. but their crimes were so

These two were Roxalana Druse,

LEWIS CARROLL.
Peeuliarities of the Author of "AIice
in Wonderland"

Peeuliarities of the Author of "AIice
in Wonderland"
S. D. Collingwood, in the Century, de-
scribes some of the odd ways of Lewis
Carroll, the author of "Alice in Won
derland."
That he was, in some respects, eccen-
trio cannot be denied; for instance, he
never wore an Overcoat, and always
wore tall hat, whatever might be the
climatic conditions. He would wear
only cotton gloves. In these small per-
sonal matters he had a great fear of
extravaganza. At dinner in his rooms
small pieces of cardboard took the
place of table-mats; they answered the
purpose perfectly well, he said, and TO
buy anything else would be a mere
waste of money.
On the other hand, when purchasing
books for himself, or giving treats to
the children he loved, he never seemed
to consider expense at all.
When making tea for his friends he
used-in order, | suppose, to expedite
the process--to walk up and down the
room waving the teapot about, and tell
ing meanwhile those delightful anec-
dotes of which he had an inexhaustible
supply.
He had strong objection to staring
colors In dress, his favoritc combina-
tion being pink and gray. One little
girl who came to stay with him was abb
solutely forbidden to wear red frock
of a somewhat pronounced hue, while
out in his company.
At meals he was always very abstem-
ious, while he took nothing in the mid
die of the day except a glass Of wine
and biscuit. Under these circum-
stances 1t is not very surprising that
the healthy appetites Of his little
friends filed him with wonder, and
even with alarm.
When he took a certain one Of them
out with him to friends house to din
ner he used to give the host or hostess
a gentle warning, to the mixed amaze
ment and Indignation Of the child:
"Please be careful, because she eats a
good deal too much"

contain a glass tube, into which will
