PATRICK Is MAYOR OF
THE DEATH HOUSE
Murderer of Millionaire Rice Honored
by His Condemned Companions
i'm Sing Sing Prison.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Albert T. Patrick.
inmate of Sing Sing, where he has
been for some time under sentence of death
for the murder of William March Rice, the
aged Texas millionaire, whose property he
is alleged to have coveted. has been re-elect-
ed mayor of the death house. He already
has served nearly a year in that important
Office.
Patrick has nine companions, but one re-
fused to vote. Being a lawyer he prepared
his own case for the Court Of Appeals and
has aided the condemned men in their ef-
forts to secure new trials. All questions
of Importance are referred to him and he
passes on them just as a city magistrate
would under other circumstances. Patrick
thanked his fellows for the confidence they
had In him and assured them he would try
to rule with fairness and to their entire sat
isfaction.
Condemned prisoners are not permitted to
visit one another. Each exercises in his
own cell and is taken out but once week.
Therefore the powers of the mayor are
great. If two of the inmates want to play
checkers 1t is necessary for all the others
to be quiet. This and questions of sim
liar nature invariably are decided by the
mayor.

RAIN OF BLOOD"
NEAR SALERN0, ITALY.
Phenomenon That Il Said to BE

Sands of the Sahara Afar.

ROME, Dec. 2.-The phenomenon known
as the Rain of Blood" was noticed near
Salerno during the fearful weather Of the
past few days, the raindrops being so red
as to leave a stain resembling blood. This
phenomenon is said to come from Sahara
after a severe sandstorm, the sand of the
desert being carried by the wind across the
sea and mixing with the rain as it falls.
This form of the phenomenon is somewhat
rare, although it reached as far as Rome
three years ago. Not understanding the
reason of it, the peasants of the neighbor-
hood were very much frightened.
