Tuesday Morning Set for Execution of
Czolgosz.

AUBURN, N. Y, Oct. %
Leon F. Czolgosz, the murderer
of President Mckinley, will be
executed at six o'clock next
Tuesday morning. The con-
demned man refuses to see the
clergy and spends the greater
portion Of his time in silence.
He eats his meals with apparent
relish, and while he shows no
evidence of breaking down. some
Of the officials who were in
charge of the assassin before his
arrival here declare he Will be
carried to the death chair a raw
ing coward.
Warden Meade went to Albany
to consult with Superintendent
of Prisons Collins as TO who
should be admitted as witnesses
to the electrocution. AS the law
OF the state only provides for
twenty-six, this proved to be
rather a perplexing subject to
deal with. He returned how
ever, with the twenty six names
and on Thursday the invitations
for the execution will be signed.
Great secrecy is being OBJ
served in the final preparation
for the electrocutlon. The per-
sonnel of the witnesses will not
be made known until after the
electrocution. Neither will any
of the arrangements be made
public Warden Meade told
Superintendent of Prisons Col
Inns that as the time for the cleo
trocution draws near hundreds
of letters are pouring in upon
him from all over the country
asking permission to be at the
death scene.

verdict last evening after max
ing an investigation on the death
by burning of Vergie Gordy,
who perished in the flames of the
Gordy dwelling on Wawasee

to grasp this theory as that of a
disembodied spirit telling the

"If thought could be uncon-

a person in the room, l do not
see any reason why that person
could not have received a thought

long distance, and then tele-

possible between two people,
why not among three, just the

for honesty in her career as a
medium, her declarations virtu-
ally amount to a confession and
her statements convict the herd
of trance mediums, clairvoyants
and other similar charlatans who
thrive in every locality. Her -ex-
pose leaves it clear that so far
the spiritualistic theory utterly
fails to account for the tricks of
so-called mediums and leaves us
no room for hope that a union can
ever be formed between the indi-
viduals of heaven and those of
earth by any such finite means
as the hocus pocus commonly
used to play upon the credulity
of enthusiastic dollar payers.

tha Ludeman, eight years old,
rescued two babies from death
by fire, but was herself burned to
death. She was the daughter of
a farmer living near Clayton.
Her father had fired a stubble
field, warning the children to re-
main away. Two of the smaller
children, aged four and two
years, ventured too far out, and
their sister by desperate efforts,
dragged them to points of safety.
Thoroughly exhausted by the ef-
fort, she sank down in the field
and was burned to a crisp.

The fire spread rapidly, and
the flames shot through the deck
before the boat touched her slip.
The passengers, who had gone
as far forward as possible, tried
to climb over the gates but were

off.

"ALICE" A SUCCESS
Virginia Harned's Production Of Maurice
Thompson's Work.

CLEVELAND, October 22-In
"Alice of Old Vincennes," the
dramatizatiOn Of Maurice Thomp.
sons novel, Virginia Harmed
achieved her stellar triumph at
the opera house last night. The
production was socially and ar
tistically brilliant success. The
play is almost a transcript of the
novel. 1t is always sweet, dainty
and sometimes thrilling; for in
stance, when sAlice" reads to
her British admirer, while her
patriot hero. the man to whom
she gave the flag she made, es-
capes. The comedy of the novel
is all utilized, and of the sterner
dramatic material only so much
as is needed to tell the story.
Miss Harmed never seemed
sweeter or more simply charm
ing. She was the simple country
girl of the novel, a heroine in
gingham gowns that she wore
simply and naturally. The novel
has been made into four acts for
the play, the first laid in the fall,
in front of the old Rousillon
house, the second inside the
house the day after, the third
being six weeks later at the COL
onel's headquarters at Port Sack
vile and the final act a week
later, showing the yard of the
Rousillon house in the winter.
The scenery is fitting and artis-
tic. but simple. There is little,
in fact, to distract attention from
charming "Alice" of the play.
Aside from the fact that it intro
duces a delightful new star, the
play is principally notable as
showing that the state of Indiana
and the town of Vincennes in
1878, the time and place of the
play, may be included in the
scope of the colonial fad, which
had been mostly confined to the
eastern edge of the continent as
to locale.
Mrs. Maurice Thompson and
her son and daughter, the family
of the dead author of the novel,
were present. The proceeds of
the performance-S1, 288. .75-go
to the Mckinley memorial fund.

The trial is held in the circuit

Father Szadinski is Appointed to Attend
Condemned Man.

AUBURN. N. Y, Oct. 90. =
Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin
of President Mckinley, who is
awaiting electrocution IN the
prison here during the week
commencing next Monday, has
asked for spiritual consolation
and yesterday afternoon received
a visit from the Rev. T. Szadln-
ski, a Polish priest of the Roman
Catholsc church.
Czolgosz's request for priest
of his own nationality was made
known to Warden Mead yester-
day morning Father Szadinski,
who is pastor of st. Stanisiaus
church, Rochester, was in this
city attending the forty hours de-
votions of st. Alphonsus church,
and was asked to visit the pris-
oner. Yesterday afternoon he
went to the prison and remained
there about an hour.
The interview between priest
and prisoner proved very unsat-
lsfactory to both. Father Sad
inski urged him to renouuce his
belief in anarchy and return to
the faith of his early years.
Czolgosz declared his inability
to do so and he was informed
that unless he could the oonsola-
ton of the church would be
denied him.

UPHELD
Law of 500 Against Election
Frauds Lustained.
Henry Baum OF CroWfOrdSvlIIe Dis
fr0nChiSed for Twelve Years for
Selling His Vote at the Last tIeCtiC n
and the Verdict is Confirmed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 90. = A
judgement disfranchising Henry
Baum, of Charlottesville, and
rendering him incapable of hold
ing any Office of trust or profit
for a peroid of twelve years as a
punishment for selling his vote,
was affirmed by the supreme
court yesterday. Baum was one
of a number of persons who ac-
cepted money from the demo
cratic county committee, for
which they signed receipts ac-
knowledging that it was paid in
consideration of promises to vote
the democratic ticket at the last
presidential election. These. re-
ceipts were afterward used as
evidence to obtain the conviction
and disfranchisement of the
voters who had given them.
Judge Bowling wrote the opin.
ion of the supreme court affirm
ing Baum's sentence. He said
that the errors relied on by the
appellant were the alleged IN
sufficlency of the information
and the unconstitutionality of
the act of 1899, prescribing dis
franchisement as a punishment
for selling votes.
The constitutional objections
were, first, that the crime defined
by the statute was not an infam-
Gus crime, and, therefore, not
subject to the punishment of dis
franchisement; second, that the
law granted immunitles to and
protected one class of citizens,
while punishing another class,
when both were guilty of the
same crime, and, third, that it
prevented the freedom of cleo
tions.
After an extended review of
the authorities, Judge Bowling
declared that it is evident that
corruption at elections has from
the earliest times been regarded
as an Infamous crime, subject to
severe penalties, and frequently
punished by depriving the guilty
person of his right to vote and
to hold Office.
The offense, being so under
stood and stigmatized, he said,
it follows that the legislature
had constitutional power to de-
fine the crime of vote selling or
bribery at elections, and to affix
the penalty of disfranchisement.
The other constitutional objec-
tions were declared to be ground
less. He asserted that the act
granted immunities to no one
and protected no class of offend
ers from punishment, and so far
from preventing the freedom and
equality of elections, it tends in
the strongest manner to promote
them.
The objections urged against
the affidavit and information
we're that no candidates were
named and the purpose of the
election and the place where it
was to be held were not mention
ed. These averments, Judge
Bowling said, were not neces-
sary. 1t was sufficient to charge
the offense in the language of
statute, and the Judge suggested
the ofense might be committed
even before candidates were
nominated or the places for
holding the election were fixed.
