TIE MAYnRIcK CAsE.

At intervals. for a number of years, the
newspapers have given a vast amount Of
attention to the case of Mrs.. Mayorick.
sentenced to life imprisonment by a Brit
ish court for the murder Of ner husband
Ever since she was convicted our repre-
sentatives at the Court Of ST James have
had their lives made a burden by Mrs.
Maybrick's friends. who have never given
up hope that the British Government, II
sufficiently urged by our government,
would release her from prison.
When Mr.. Choate was appointed am
bassador to Great Britain it was thought
by Mrs. Maybricks friends that, being
an astute lawyer, he would find some flaw
in the court proceedings or some techni-
cality, and in that way get her out Of
prison. Thus far he has accomplished
nothing, and from what Sir Matthew
White Ridley, the Home Secretary, said
the other day, the British Government has
no intention of releasing her.
She has been in prison for ten years,
and is likely 20 remain there as long "a
the Queen lives and perhaps 10 the end
of her life. There are very good rea-
sons for thinking that she didn't murder
her husband. She was convicted wholly
on circumstantial evidence, and It seems
that it wasn't very strong evidence. But
there was a prejudice against her in the
minds of the jurors and the court, be,
cause of the understanding that she had
been unfathfu to her marriage vows. II
it had not been for that understanding it
is thought she wouldn't have been CON
victed.
1t is said that the reason the British
Government will not even show her elem
ency, by according her eenuer treatment
is because the Queen has no sympathy
for her. ] is well known fact that the
Queen viii not allow even a divorced per-
son Of either sex 20 be presented to her. IT
can be readily understood therefore what
the influence is that prevents the release
of Mrs. Maybrick, and what little ground
for hope Of her release there is as long as
the Queen lives.

Gen. Charles S. Warren. a pioneer Of
Butte, but now a resident of Spokane, and
Mics Finlen shook dice in the summer Of
1882 for a copper mine then valued at $780,
go and now at cool 100000 says the
Spokane Statesman-Review. The mine
adjoined the Anaconda and was held joint
~ by Warren and Finlen. The latter is at
present a wealthy mine operator at Butte,
and is noted everywhere as a plunger
in stocks, on horse races and in a political
campaign. In the latter amusement he
makes the millionaires of Butte hold their
breath when he offers to wager reckless
sums on his favorite candidate.
Warren and Finlen had owned the prop
erty for some years but had been unable

should be worked. They met one day in

quarrel was a once renewed as 10 the

ludicrous. has declared by formal resou-
lion that the present executive has APP
pointed more negroes to Office than any
other President. This is funny, of course,
but ii is also most discouraging. The col

may fairly be assumed, represent the bet
ter educated and more intelligent minority

that President Mckinley has appointed
a larger number of them to Office than did

negro needs vastly more than he needs
