the end is surely reached. but six years

New York State unless Governor
Roosevelt exercises his authority TO
save her. The appeals court TO which
was taken the case of Mrs. Martha
Place, now under sentence, has affirmed
the judgment OF conviction passed by
a jury OF the lower court which tried
her. Mrs. Place was an exceptional
and peculiarly vicious murderess. She
threw acid i'm the eyes OF her young
step-daughter and then smothered her.
Then she attacked her husband. VIII
lianf w. Place, with an axe and all
but killed him. There is no doubt about
the facts, for the evidence and the
womans confession are in agreement.
But, although there are a number OF
women imprisoned for life for murder
in New York, no woman has ever been
executed by the electric chair in that
state, and IL is "a great many years
since a woman was hanged there. That
woman of whom man is born should be
killed by man goes against the grain
always.

To find the broken ends of a North At

Both vessels recently spoke the cable

for the broken ends. The Nina has been
able to locate the break, although its ap-

started on cruise.
The Switzerland sighted the Nina on
June a. in latitude 42.11, longitude 81 .4s,
and the Manhattan on May 2S in latitude
1904 longitude $3.50.
The electricians on the Nina reported to

Great Fails, July 23-About a year
ago there was published in this col
umn an interview with Billy Jackson,
who was acting as scout to the Custer
Reno expedition at the time of the
battle of the Little Big Horn, and the
consequent destruction of Custer and
his command. That fight in which the
willy old Sitting Bull and his Sioux
warriors figured will probably remain
the greatest battle in the history of
Montana, at least it will have more
of personal interest to the white man
than any other, and any additional in
formation on its story will be welcom-
ed by Montanans. The survivors were
few, and their number is decreasing
each year by death, so that all testi-
mony is becoming rarer and more val
liable. So the following story of an
eye witness is proportionately valua-
BILE. It was told at Dupuyer to the
Acantha last week by William Felew,
who signs his Indian name, and it
adds another chapter to the story, and
one which is dear to the admirer of
Custer. Fellew says:
Quite often, especially of recent
and magazines relating to the actions
and motives of General Custer that lead
up to the historic massacre of his he
roic band. Most of these do grievous
wrong to the bravest and best officer
the United States government ever
sent out to fight Indians on the from
tier. Books, too, go so far as to call
him a suicide and murderer for going
at the head of his men into the bat
Tie OF the Little Big Horn on June rs,
1876.
At that time / was in Clusters en-
ploy as a civilian scout, and had known
him for long time. / knew his ways
of attacking Indians, and knew his
unbounded confidence in his men. 1
had known him to win Indian fights
against greater odds than his last one
For instance, at Wichita, he routed
themi with force that numbered one
to 10. Had he, in his last fight been
supported, as he could and should have
been, he would have won the day, and
then the Sitting Bull war would have
ended and not have lasted until it
cost much money and many lives. Not
until the buffalo We're killed and other
game became scarce were the Indians
satisfied to accept of government ra-
tons and spend their honeymoon at
home. An Indians heart is never
good until he is hungry and cold.
Custer has been accused by would
be historians of going contrary to or
ders in his last campaign and to re-
flute these charges l write to follow
him as far, or farther, than any one
else is tr,Bthfully capable of doing.
That he did not go contrary to orders
IN his last movements, the captain act
ting as General Terry's adjutant at the
time, IL alive. will, gladly, doubtless
testify. Unfortunately, / have forgot
ten his name. He will remember the
greater part of the orders.

SOME OF THE SIGHTS TO Be

Special Correspondence of the Standard.

Rio Janeiro, Brazil, May TN min
Cling with the ship chambers and other
merchants / am surprised as we'll as
amused to see the American one dollar
gold piece so conspicuously displayed
as a stickpin, stud or cuff button. In
number of cases as many as three of
these bright yellow coins adorn the I'M
maculate shirt bosom of the schem-
ing tropical merchant. Nevertheless
he is all the while Fostering us Ameri-
cans with queries as to where he can
obtain more of them.
There is a rare Brazilian coin, worth
about $3.50 in our money, which l have
as yet been unable to obtain except at
a big premium at the exchanges" Of
the latter there are perhaps half score
or more scattered about the city ex-
hibiting piles of the currency or other
exchange medium of all the civilized
and all the savage countries of the
globe. They accept our paper and sill
yer on the same basis as our gold in
exchange for Brazilian money.
On the other hand, the banks, of
gold only. The Brazilian and London
bank is about the busiest. Its 80 Off
Gals and employees are a compromise
between Brazilians and Londoners.
The currency of this South American
republic is constantly fiuctuating. At
regular intervals each day a messenger
appears to announce the latest as to
high or low" money. At this mo-
ment teller is handing me mireis at
the rate of 20 for IS, while in the ante
room a rushing messenger has just an
nounced high" AS a result had l come
but minute later, l would have been
paid at the rate of 80 milreis. The mil
reis is a money unit the same as our
dollar. Its value is about II cents. A
milreiS being equivalent to / 900 refs
it evidently requires but a short time
to become a millionaire and a still
shorter time to spend a million.
The arrival of the United States sup
ply ship Celtic has enabled our crew to
supply themselves with sea stores at a
saving of one-third and one-half over
the purchase of Brazilian provisions.
Heavy duties on importations, it is
claimed, accounts for the high-priced-
ness of the food stuffs here. The only
cheap things are tobacco in all its
forms and native wine, there being no
tax on these,
Germany, France, England and the
United States, in the order named, have
control of the Brazilian commerce. Full
ly a third of the merchants are German
or of German-Brazilian descent, and
they take pride in telling of an occa-
sional visit 'Zu dem Vaterland," for
with the German the love for native
land is an inextinsuishable inheritance.
The emigration of Germans to Brazil is
yearly increasing and that sturdy and
progressive race is playing very i'm
pertant part in the general develop
- y, t1 ftnr n In he
industrial line they are especially ac-
tive as merchants and coffee planters.

but 20 milreis as monthly wages, and If
they break liberty" they even forfeit
that. The officers wear quite an orna-
mental uniform compared with our

differs but slightly from ours.
At present eight Brazilian memo
war in the harbor are flying the green,
yellow-centered flag from their mast

is the famous Equidajban, whose COM
mander appeared in dress regalia on
our decks to-day to exchange the GUS
tomary courteSies of navy regulation.
For the last three weeks about six
officers, four divers and 100 sailors have
been engaged with wrecking apparatus

luton of 1898 From all appearances it
