for the gallows. This week, however,
Mrs. Martha Place will be electrocuted.
all efforts to obtain Communication OF
her sentence having failed. The last
appeal vas to Governor Roosevelt and
he has refused it in very emphatic
manner. He declares that the law
makes no distinction between men and
women in prescribing punishment for
crime and that he can find no warrant
for interference in this case. The crime
for which Mrs. Place is to pay the pen
atty was most statrocious one. She de.
liberately planned the murder of her
step-daughter and carried out her design
in peculiarly cruel manner After
binding her victim with acid Mrs:
Place strangled her. She then waited
in the house nearly all day and at dark
when her husband returned. tried to
kill him with an axe. Mrs. Place was
defended with great energy and skill.
The plea Of insanity was urged IN her
behalf and that failing every possible
effort was made to obtain Communication
of the death sentence. One OF the
attempts to save her life was made IN
the form of bill to abolish capital
punishment in New York, but it was de-
feated in the assembly last Monday by
vote of II to IS. Mrs. Places last
chance of life is gone and according to
the New York form Of sentence she
will be executed during the week

TIE Benton Standard notices with
alarm that an astronomer has discovered
short tailed comet. This is calcula
ted to spoil the harmony of the uni
verse. 4 comet with docked tail has
no right to career around in the sky.
1t is not comely. Where is the society
for the cruelty to animals? This comet
must bearrested and put in limbo un.il
its tail grows out to a suitable length.
We can't stand this kind Of business.
1t will take all the gauze and fuzz We
have to spare for ten years to cover our
naked fellow citizens in the Philip
pines. and We can't furnish tail stuff,
for bobbed comets. Neither can we af-
ford to have these bobtailed cclestials
obscening our sky That comet Will
either have to put on petticoats or tar
ry at Jericho until its tail be grown.

Tile attemnt Of the trusts to brib

THE attempt Of the trusts to bribe
the attorney general Of Ohio to render
a decision in their favor trust methods,
is another evidence Of the utter dis
regard of law by these combinations.
Trusts which are pronounced unlawful
by legislatures and courts cannot main
tain themselves without corruption.
This bribery case will open men 5 eyes
to the truth about these combines. Al
ter such revelations nobody can deny
that they are a menace to liberty and
subycrsive Of government itself.

the second story, and were alone. In
some manner young Kent secured a
loaded revolver. Pointing it at his
playmate, he fired.
The people in the lower part of the
house heard a noise. but they failed
to realize it's true significance until
they entered the playroom.
Young Kent, although too young to
fully understand what a terrible re-
suit had followed his act, realized that
he had done something terrible He was
in tears and could not be consoled
From what could be learned from him
he had found the pistol slowed away
in a closet. He thought 1t would be
a nice plaything. Little Marshall was
sitting in chair. He had pointed the
revolver at his playmate and pulled the
trigger accidentally. The cartridge ex-
ploded, the bullet struck the child in
the forehead.

Edward Atkinson, the economist, taking the
opposition to Civil Service Commissioner John
R. Proctor, who spoke in advocacy of the
topic. Mr.. Atkinson said:
I'VE have neither the moral right, the
political right, and I hope we have not the
physical power to compel the inhabitants of
the Philippine islands to become our vassals -
Mr.. Atkinson claimed that President Nc
Kinley in his Home Market club speech here
last night declared allegiance to many anti
imperialistic principles but he proceeded at
length to take up President McKinley's state
ments for sharp criticism.
THE president says" Mr.. Atkinson pointed
out, 1T is not good time for the liberators
to submit important questions concerning the
liberty and government to the liberated while
they are engaged in shooting down their res
cuers. Rescuers, forsooth, said Mr. Atkin-
son, ''are We rescuers when we are llberating
them by death in the slaughter Of thousands
under the name Of rescuers?'

Followers Held Night Meeting ana
Prevailed Upon Him to Accept
the Candidnture in Opposition to
NJ. Loubet-Dreyfus Case VIII
Cut Quite Figure in Race
President to Be Selected Today.
PARIS, Feb. 7.-(Midnight.) .)-Short
ly before -.Iunight it was announced
that NJ. Meline had definitely accepted
the candidature for the presidency.
At meeting Of the Leftist senators
today NJ. Loubet, the president Of the
senate and former premier, was unan-
imously nominated for the presidency
OF France, in succession to the late
President Faure.
In the senate today NJ. Loubet. the
president of that body announced the
death of President Faure. 1t was a
significant incident that, as NJ. Loubet,
who has accepted the nomination for
the presidency, left the chair, he was
greeted with unanimous applause and
the senators cried, "Vive la repub-
lique."
The premier, NJ. Dupuy, has fixed
the meeting of the national assembly
or congress, in which the senators and
deputies unite in voting for a presi-
dent of France, for l o'clock tomorrow
afternoon at Versailles.
Although NJ. Loubet, possessing the
almost unanimous support of the SEN
ate, is a strong favorite for the pres
idency. it would be rash to predict his
election. A l; tge section of deputies
strongly favor NJ Meline.
AT the meeti g of progressive Repub
lican deputies today, when NJ. Meline
announced HI withdrawal, later re-
considered, on the ground that con-
tinuance of his candidature would di
vide his party and perhaps cause its
defeat, a noisy discussion followed-A
large section firmly opposed the with
drawaI. Unable TO arrive at a unani-
nous decision, the group adjourned
until tonight, when it reasSembled at
$50. Resolutions were then adopted
unanimously in favor of NJ. Melines
candidature, and the leaders of the
party in the chamber were directed to
endeavor TO arrange an understanding
on the subject with its leaders in the
senate.
As the result of this decision there
will be three candidates-Loubet, Me-
line and Dupuy. NJ. Meline has the
support Of the whole Right section and
OF the large body of protectionists.
It is also reported that the Vatican has
decided to support NJ. Meline's can
