WOMEN ExECUTIONERS,
Both Belgium and Virginia Have Had
Them.

Both Belgium and Virginia Have Had
Them.
What do you think of a woman who
voluntarily offered herself to the gov
eminent as the public executioner? A
few years ago the official public exc
%cutioner at Brussels died, and a SUBJ
st1tute was temporarily appointed. On
occasion this person was Ill and I'M
able to attend. But at the appointed
our a stout middle-aged woman pre-
sented herself at the central police
station and quietly remarked to the
assembled fu~nctionaries: "I've come
for the execution. My husband Is not
very well this morning and has asked
me to take his place. Please let us
get to business" The general stupe-
faction may be more easily imagined
than described, which, being noticed
by the would-be lady executioner, she
added in a reassuring tone: ooh, this
Is not by any means the first time" It
afterward transpired that the woman
whose name was Marie Rege, had O =
ciated on several occasions In lieu OF
her husband. Dressed I'D In his
clothes and her face masked, she had
been the public executioner at several
executions, and never had the proceed
ings been interrupted by a single hitch.
1t is needless to add hat the police
authorities were unable t o avail them
selves Of her offer on this occasion,
however. 1t will be a surprise to most
people to learn that there has actually
been a oma executioner in this coun-
try. In olden times few cared to un-
dertake the office of ~executioner, and
occasionally death sentences were re-
spited on condition that the criminal
should perform this Office. A case of
this sort occurred in pre-revolutionary
days, when a woman was sentenced to
death for a murder she had committed
in Virginia. The death sentence was
respited on her offering to become pub
lie executioner, and known as Lady
Betty she performed those duties for
many years. She oficiated on the
scaffold without any mask or disguise,
and logged criminals through the
streets with enthusiastic vigor.

railway carries passengers to a height

which, owing to the perpetual English
fogs and Scotch mists, are a necessity
OF all railroad equipment in that coun-
try. 1t Is a question that American en-
gineers have had occasion to worry
themselves little about, else 1t would
long ago have been solved. It has
remained for a S%cotchman, a Mr.. Fair
ley, of the National Telephone COM
pany of England, to find the remedy
that the Englishmen have been so long
seeking. He has just perfected and
patented an automatic apparatus
which it is expected from the trials
that have been made will bring a rea-
sonable amount of security to travel
ers over the fog-bound tracks that lead
into London. Mr.. Fairley's device Is
a trigger on the track, set automatical-
ly when the semaphores are set to sig
nifty a block. A suitable contact Is ap-
piled to the locomotive which trips
the trigger when the engine enters the
danger block. Then automatically the
whistle is blown, and the steam shut
off, and the engine driver can do the
rest by applying the brakes and bring
ing the train to a standstill until he
gets the signal for a clear track.-New

A PLEASING SKETCH AT THE

The one play in Nance O'Neil's roper
tory that she has not already presented
to US is East Lynne"-or rather as she
describes it, the New East Lynne
which will be played tonight. BY all
the cannons, swords and pistols Of
theatrical enterprise this is the piece
that should have opened the engage
ment in the California Theater last
night. There was nothing new at the
other playhouses, and why Miss ONeil
who was commencing another return
engagement, should have elected to ap-
pear in "Magda," play that she was
seen in no longer ago than last Christ
mas week, is something that can be ex-
planned only by that young actress her
self. At that time Miss O'Neil's per-
Torrance of the title part was more or
less extensively discussed, and little
that is new may be said of 1t now. 1t
is one of her best achievements, but
like everything else that Miss O'Neil
does, it is glaringly uneven in both
conception and execution. Just as you
are settling comfortably in the belief
that here Is a new Magda, one that
thrillingly emphasizes the big brutal
