TEN YEARS IN PRISON.
Jury Trying Lulu Prince Kennedy at Kan
sas City Renders Verdict of Murder
in the Second Degree.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 17.-Accord-
ing to the verdict of IL men in the
criminal court Lulu Prince Kennedy
committed murder when she killed
her husband in the corridor of the
Ridge building the evening of January
10. The verdict is that she shall spend
the next ten years of her life in the
state penitentiary.
The jury was out not quite IL
hours, the case having been placed in
its hands at one minute to ten o'clock
Friday night and the verdict being
rendered just before ten o'clock Sat
urday morning.
When the verdict was read the
crowd seemed to expect that the de-
PENDANT would break down. Those
who had looked squarely in the cold
determined eyes and noted the set,
firm chin, did not. Mrs. Kennedy
listened to the verdict just as every
one else did. There was not a shud-
der, no exclamation, no suggestion
of tear. If there was surprise or
disappointment her demeanor did not
show it.
From the first the jurors were in
favor of furnishing Mrs. Kennedy.
On the question of sanity, ten of the
jurors voted that she was sane and
two that she was insane. Just be-
fore retiring Friday night the jury
took ballot on the degree of guilt.
This resulted in ten for second de-
gree murder and two for manslaught-
er in the fourth degree. The first
ballot Saturday morning was unani-
nous for second-degree murder.

A GREAT GRAIN SCHEME.
George H. Phillips at Banquet Tells His
Idea of Putting Farmers into
Business Paradise.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 15.-Gov-
eminent granaries in Chicago bigger

Egypt, and farmers bank with $780,
100000 capital, also in Chicago, are
the two agencies which George H.
Phillips looks forward to as means
of putting the farmers of the United
States in a business paradise. estab-
fishing for them trust which can
fight on equal terms with any other
trust in the country and making 40
cents the bottom price of corn for
ever and evermore
Mr.. Phillips was given a banquet
at the West hotel by the National
Grain Growers association, now in
session in this city, and in the course
of his remarks took his farmer adj
mirers into his confidence yesterday
evening and predicted good times for
them, which will be so exceedingly
good as to make the bull markets he
called into being seem hard times by
comparison.

PROTESTS HAVE AvA1LED.
Wholesale Lynching OF Negroes in BossIer,
La, VIII Probably Not Occur, Public
Sentiment Opposing.

Shreveport, La, June 15.-The night
passed without the lynching of any
of the negroes who have been under
arrest in the adjoining parish of Bos-
sier ever since the murder of John
Gray Foster on the Foster plan
Prince Edwards, the negro who shot
Foster, is still in hiding. The strong
stand taken by Gov. Heard in opposi-
ton to any violence, his offer to send
troops and the protest of the Foster
family against the execution of inno-
cent blacks have apparently had
good effect. The excitement has di-
minished and planters and business
men generally deprecate wholesale
iynching or reign of terror for fear
it will have the effect of driving negro
labor away.

REFURNISHING WINDSOR.
The Old Furniture In the Castle VIII
BE Burned to Prevent
Its Circulation.

His majesty intends to clear out
a good deal of the old furniture and
fittings at Windsor castle and replace
them with his own. Having this in
view, old residents have been on the
lookout for signs of bonfire some
where in the precincts of the castle,
for in past times, when any chairs
and tables and other articles therein
were condemned, it was the practice
to have them burned, says Modern
Society.
The object of this was to prevent
pieces of furniture stamped with the
queens monograms from being let
loose, as it were, and so allowed to
drift into the hands of brokers, and
thence into the possession of persons
having no right to them, but willing
to pay almost any price to be able
to display such royal articles in their
own houses. 1t was q wasteful ex-
pedient, but one can understand the
need of such a precaution. There
have been so many instances of roy
al gifts and discarded articles being
found in shops and stores that some
means of prevention are quite neces-
sary. But up to the present time
there have been no indications of a
holocaust.

DEFECTIVE DINING TABLES.
They Give a Man No Chance to Cross
His Legs--Complaint of
an Epicure.

81 have discovered very great de-
feet in the architecture of the dining
table," remarked an epicure the 9TH
er day to New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat man, "and the defect is univer-
sal. / have found in my time but
very few tables built after my ideal,
and it seems to me that some man in
terested in matters of this sort ought
to start revolution along these
lines. When 1 sit down to a meal I
want to rest. Eating and resting
ought to go together. Restfulness at
meal time, absolute comfort at the
table and good food of the whole
some kind are things that will COM
mend themselves to most men.
"Now, 1 have what I may call q
mealtime hobby. always want to
cross my legs under the table. Most
men do, believe. And why not? 1t
is comfortable position. 1t enables
one to sit more erect, too. I do not
know what etiquette says about ones
legs and feet during meal time, but I
suppose it goes no further than to
suggest that they should be kept I'M
der the table, which is correct, 1
ween. But insist that among my
inalienable rights is the right to cross
my legs, and to cross them-under the
mahogany at that if it pleases me to
do so and adds to my comfort.
"And yet it is a fact that one rare
ly enjoys this gracious privilege be-
cause of the awkward, grotesque and
unhappy architecture of the dining
table. The tables ought to be differ
emily made. They ought to be
roomier, so that a fellow would have
ample space in which to cross his
legs if it pleased him to do so. OF
course, if one does not want to cross
ones legs at meal times one need
not do it, so the change could do no
harm"
