 esting Event.
 Providence, Sept. 2.-The grand cir cult meeting at Narragansett Park closed this afternoon with four we'll contested races. The attendance was the largest of any meeting on the cir cult this season, speculation was heavy and the racing averaged with that at Readville and Buffalo in point of time made.
 At the conclusion of the days sport the judges announced their decision re- garding the taking out of R. A. Smith from behind Sweet Marie in the Roger Williams race of last Wednesday and substituting Alta Mcdonald, who won the next three heats and the race, by suspending Smith for the balance of the season and awarding to Mcdonald the sum of 1000, the same to be taken from the winnings of the mare.
 The most important racing of the day was the 2:06 trotting class. Fereno was an even choice to win and took the first heat quite easily. Boon then re- linquished his seat behind Mckinley in favor of Alta Mcdonald, who in hot finishes captured the next two heats and the race, and in the second heat tequalled the best trotting time in q race of the year--2. .061 made by Sweet Ma l Tie. The time of the race established a new three-heat record for the season of l1904, formerly held by Ozanan. Gambia was first picked to win the t2:19 trotting event, but at the post Nor etta jumped into public favor, closing even against the field. The heats were distributed among the four horses en- tered until Kyrillis finally captured the seventh heat and the race. Day Book was favorite in the 2:16 pacing class and won with little trouble. In the 2:10 pacing Red Bird sold even up and won in straight heats. though Ihard-driyen at the finish of both heats.
 The local meeting was brought to an lend to-day, as the special races planned for tomorrow did not attract sufficient entries.

relatives hired Pinkerton detectives
in an effort to run down the alleged
burglars and thereby prove the in
Socence of the convicted man. After
working for several weeks without
accomplishing anything the detect
ives informed those interested in the
case that it was useless to search
further for the robbers; that there
was not the slightest clue from
which to start. The killing had
been done with Hinshaw's revolver.
Hinshaw had been slashed with his
own razor-there was not anything
on which an investigation could be
based
Hope was given to the convicted

when a notorious burglar who had

prison made an alleged confession in

Der of a gang that entered the Hin
shaw home on the night of the deed
and that they perpetrated the muir
der of Mrs. Hinshaw and the assault
on the minister. This led to a re-
opening of the celebrated case. Hin
shaw was brought back from prison
and the man who made the confess
sion was brought to Indianapolis,
and there he was subjected to a rigid
cross examination. After the fullest
investigation the authorities were
convinced that the confession was a
pure fake, concocted for the purpose
of obtaining notoriety or possible
release from the term of imprison-

was returned to the penitentiary,
where he remained until last fall,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June Is
The principal matter before the
quarterly meeting of the board of
pardons in session at the capitol to-
day is a strong petition for the par
don of William r. Hinshaw, the
Methodist minister who is serving a
life sentence in the state prison at
Michigan City for the murder of his
wife. The petition is signed by per-
sons of prominence and influence in
the state and strong hopes are ex-
pressed that it may result in the
release of the convicted man.
The Hinshaw murder is one of the
most remarkable crimes in the his
tory of Indiana, and, although Hin
shaw was convicted and the supreme
court approved the finding of the
trial court, there are many persons
who continue to believe Hinshaw in
nocent of the crime.
The murder occurred at BellevilIe.
Hendricks county, about l a. m,
January 10, 1895. Hinshaw's story
was that burglars got into the house
and that he and his wife had a des-
perate fight with them. Mrs. Hin
shaw was found dead on the back
steps of the parsonage where they
lived, and Hinshaw was slashed Is
times with razor and shot twice
The trial occupied five weeks, the
theory of the prosecution being that
Hinshaw and his wife quarreled over
another woman; that Mrs. Hinshaw
threw herself down on the bed and
was shot by her husband who In
tlicted the wounds on himself to car
~ out the burglar story; that he
carried her to the place where she
was found and then gave the alarm.
After the penitentiary doors had
closed on Hinshaw his friends and

MAKE WAR ON
The SPARROWS

The sparrows must go. That is
the edict of a number of Tacoma
citizens, and war is to be made on
the fluttering army that has invaded
Tacoma. Although the birds have
appeared in Tacoma only within the
past seven years, they have increased
so rapidly that they have almost be-
come pest.
Meadow larks, swallows, martins
and the numerous varieties of birds
that haunt farms and garden lands
have almost disappeared before the
ruthless attacks of the marauding
bands of sparrows. The enemies OF
the sparrows bring proof that they
are the most piratical and mischivous
bird, and that they take advantage
of the presence of man to carry on
constant war against all other vari-
cites of the bird family.

tiser. of Delhi, N. v, the oldest advertls-
Ing journal in the United States, was de-
voted to women and their work In the
advertising profession, and the following
from strong article on "cleanliness In

men and women alike:
"Woman Is naturally more refined than
man. AS rule, she abhors uncleanliness
in any form and, being cognizant OF this
fact, | solicit her help in the endeavor to
persuade publishers to weed out objec-
tionabIe medical announcements and to
make their advertising columns as clean
Items.
"lf the decent advertiser does not re-
spect himself or his business, 1t Isn't rea-
sonable for him to suppose that anyone
else will, and the same is true Of the pub
llsher.. The self-respecting advertiser
ought to keep his business out of news
papers that accept such business; 1t al
ways pays to keep good company. On the
other hand, no publisher should attempt to
force the clean advertiser to associate
with the uncIean.
"The women, God bless them! | appeal
to them as earnestly as | know how to
use their influence In prevailing on pub
fishers to purify the columns Of their me-
dIums and to keep them untarnIshed for
all time to come. The paper that reslsts
should not be permitted to enter refined
and respectable homes. II the women will
only take up this cause, the day of the
foul, dsreputabIe newspaper, at least as
far as the family circle Is concerned, will
soon be thing OF the past"
