Murderer Tried and Sentenced ts
Death I'm Five Hours.


Death I'm Five Hours.
White Plains On. " Special New York Herald
Supreme Court Judge Gaynor established
a new record for trying capital cases in this
State. He tried and sentenced wife slayer
to death in five hours and one minute.
Oscar Borgstrom, of Mount Kisco, on
April Is last almost severed the head from
his wife's body with a pruning knife, and
then tried TO stab himself to death. Jeal-
ousy caused the crime, and Borgstrom was
convicted on the testimony Of his fourteen
year-old stepdaughter, Frieda Lobeck. She
told how her mother was slain. During her
testimony an old juror with gray hair
wept softly.
When the jury had been obtained In forty
minutes the Judge said This jury has
been obtained in forty minutes and is a
credit to the bar. In New York city il
would have taken from two to three weeks.
The time occupied in presenting the testi-
mony was one hour and forty-five minutes,
the summing up one hour and forty-flve
minutes, while the jury was out fifty min
utes.
"On the night of mammals DEATH" said
the stepdaugnter in her testimony, papa
was awfully angry at mamma because she
was going TO have him arrested. He told
her he didn't want her to and said he
would fix her. Mamma had a warrant In
her bosom which she was going to have

The City Hall and the Statehouse have
one thing in common. About three-fourths

City Hall want to drop in and shake hands

pertaining ones friends. Pink teas and
violet luncheons with their usual masses
of flowers and palms for decoration and
their ices and confections carrying out
the color scheme in the parlance of the
society column, have ceased to thrill; pea
nut parties, hard time pa rites and even
the exciting parties where one draws a
pig with ones eyes shut tight, have begun
to pail. So in this dearth of original ideas
in parties the woman who discovers or in
vents new one may regard herself as no
mean inventor or discoverer as the case
may be.
Indianapolis owns at least one woman
who is capable of thinking up a company
which shall differ from any other ever
given. That woman is Mrs. George NJ.
Maxwell, of Park avenue, Late in October
Mrs. Maxwell sent out invitations for a
party which was unlike any company ever
given here before. and which Mrs. Max
well says was one OF her inspirations Mrs.
Maxwell has the artistic temperament
which is prone to inspiration and the hos
pitable nature which delights to entertain.
The result was the astral party Not

radiance is made up of his own particu-
lar astral colors. But every one who re-
ceived card to Mrs. MaxwelPs party
knew it, for the invitations were issued
only to those persons whose artistic tastes
and perceptions made them congenial to
the hostess. So everybody who came wore
a costume developed in his own particular
astral color scheme, and the result was a
kaleidoscope effect which was unique and
most striking.
Mrs. MaxwelIs own colors are sky blue
crimson ard black, and she received her
guests in gown which was a creation in
these colors. 1t was a graceful affair built
on long trailing lines, and her hair was
also done in a trailing couture harmonic
ing with the effect of the gown. Beside
the astral colors. many of the guests wore
their astral gems and the women present
also wore their astral flowers. The house
was decorated throughout in Mrs. Max
wells astral tints. During the evening a
programme of music was given by Miss
Area Darcy, of New York, vocalist, and
Mr.. William Foley, violinist.
Mrs. Maxwell comes of family OF artists
from whom she derives her artistic tenn
permanent and talent, and in her home are
many pictures from her brush. She is mu-
steal and literary as well. and is now en-
gagged in writing two books, one for chill

money for acting as one of the inspectors

"Oh, WELL" said the secretary, reassur-

controllers office and they will tell you
about that matter"

some poor fellow.
Oh, the joy of it.. 1t was not his name

obscured the first words and the inquiry
had been for another. Perhaps the girl at

Presently the gray light of the morning
manifested itself in the room, dimming his

arose TO close his desk. And he was then
conscious he was stin trembling.

Our Babies Graves.
<<<<<<<<<++%+<+++

Our Babies Graves.
The first white snow on our Babies
graves,
Like flakes of foam on the seas green
waves:
The SNOW so purc-likc our Babies
hearts,
The SNOW so cold-like the hour that
parts.
The flowers on the Babies graves are
dead,
And the grass is withered, and bleak,
and red;
And the Winter comes, with it's ashen
cloud,
And wraps up the light in it's sombre
shroud. s.
The trees are bare-and the scattered
leaves
Are crisp as the heart that forever
grieves.
For the years sad night has come to
earth,
But that night will pass, and the
Spring have birth.
And the sun will shine on the bounte
GUS land,
And the trees will deck it in vesturc
grand,
And the grass will sprout and the
flowers will grow,
When we say farewell to the Winters
But bright tho the Spring suns radi-
ant burn:
Our Babes, with the Spring, shall not
return.
The SNOW may melt when the cold de-
parts;
But a snow shall cling to the parents
hearts.
The flowers that we loved are forever
dead,
And the showers of Spring are the
tears we shed;
While prayers, like dew, will bedecll
the sod,
We shall meet the Babes in Il Spring
with God.

Stabat Mater of the Crib.

Stands that mother more than beau
tcous,
Where her Blessed Child is laid,
In that stable, by that manager
Stands that rapturcd mother maid
How her Virgin soul is swelling,
Thrilling with unearthly bliss,
She hath seen Him, she hath heard
Him,
She hath felt His infant kiss.
How she sings with joy ecstatic,
Sings the pure and indebted.
Stainless, Spotless Mother Virgin
Mother of the Only Child.
Who can choose but share her rapture.
AS she clasps Him to her breast,
Playing now in childlike beauty,
Sleeping now in peaceful rest.
For our sins and for His nation,
See, the little Jesus lies
In the stable with the oxen,
Tears are in His infant eyes.
"Nato Christie in Praespc,"
So the white-wingcd angels sing;
Coming down from brightest heaven,
Praises to that crib to bring.
Stands the holy, peaceful Joseph
With that spotlcss Virgin flower;
Speeches. in their holy rapture,
Speeches. in. that midnight hour.
All! my Mother, fount of loving,
Since from thee all loving flows,
Breathe into my Utmost spirit
All the love thy bosom knows.
Make me feel the pain He suffers
From the cradle to the grave,
Who, in that poor stable lying,
Comes from Heaven my soul to
save
Bind me close and ever closer,
To that Babe of Bethlehem,
To the gentle Jesulino-
Love must find new names for Him
Even in my exile burning,
Make me live for His sweet love,
With rapture hourly deepening,
Till He takes me home above.
Virgin of all virgins purest,
SpOtless, stainless, .undefiled,
Give me in my arms to clasp him,
Let me kiss thy blessed child.
Let my soul be lost in loving
Him, who dying, gives us life,
Who is born this blessed morning,
Peace to bring to Danish strife.
Flood me with enraptured sweetness,
Let me love my life away,
Mother, spotless, with thy infant
And thyself, this blessed day.
And, when dying, let me see Him;
Let me clasp Him to my breast
Loving living, loving dying,
Thus to go to endless rest.
