MRS. MAVERICK
STILL CAPTIVE
As an Inmate of the Home of
the Sisters of the Epiphany
She Is Jealousiy Guarded
IDENTITY is HIDDEN
Woman Will Be Kept in Seclu-
sion With Abridged Privi-
legeS Until Release in July

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Maybrick is
serving out the last few months of her
life sentence for the killing of her hus-
band in the quiet. country home of the
Sisters of the Epiphany at Truro,
Cornwall, under an assumed name and
with her identity completely hidden.
She is guarded from communication
with the outside world as jealously as
il she were still in Aylesbury prison.
Though the fresh Cornwall air is
bringing the color back to her cheeks,
the strain of her fourteen years Of
confinement, commencing with the i'm
position of the death sentence, passed
under the severe discipline of various
prisons, is still evident in her care
worn look. She takes her meals in
silence and is not allowed to converse
except on religious topics during the
day. At tea time, when for an in
terval the sisters are permitted to talk
of mundane things, Mrs. Maybrick re-
tires to her own room. She must be in
bed by 8 o'clock. No newspapers are
allowed her and only such books as
are given her by the sisters. She will
remain in charge of the sisters until
she is released next July, though be-
fore that time, when the weather i'm
proves. she will be removed probably
to the convalescent home under the
same management, which is located in
one of the widest spots on the Cornish
coast.
In her present sanctuary Mrs. May
brick appears to be happy by COM
parison. Many members of the Eng
lish aristocracy are inmates of the
home and hence Mrs. Maybrick's ar
rival caused no comment. She was
driven from the Truro railroad sta
ton to the home in Miss Dalrymple's
private carriage and remained in
strict incognito for nearly a fortnight.
The acting mother superior is one of
the few who know of the identity of
the visitor and she guards her from
all interviews with a vigilance worthy
an old time abbess. This sister abb
solutely refused to convey a letter or
a message to Mrs. Maybrick from a
representative of the Associated
Press. A rescue home for fallen girls
and a laundry for their employment
is carried on in connection with the
Epiphany convent.
Mrs Maybrick's somewhat anoma-
lous status was explained as follows
to the Associated Press representa-
tive by one of the chief officials Of the
Epiphany order:
Mrs. Maybrick is still a prisoner
and has not even been released on
ticket of leave. Those in charge of
her are practically her jailers and all
communication with her is forbidden
except through the Home Secretary
These appear to be the official in
structions which accompanied Mrs
Maybrick on her departure from the
Aylesbury prison. No prison warden
is with Mrs. Maybrick, the sisters be-
ing implicitly entrusted with her safe
keeping, which fact is generally re-
garded as constituting an unprece-
dented indulgence to a prisoner.
The Baroness de Roques will, it is
expected, come to Truro later on, that
she may be near her daughter.

The Charm of Neatness.

There is an exquisite charm about a
neatly dressed woman. She does not
wear her hair twisted up carelessly,

ders Her gloves are not ripped at
the seams, nor are any buttons miss
ing from her boots. Her veil does not
reveal a hole over her chin, nor does
the binding of her skirt show ragged

Not many women show their tidi-
ness in all these little details, but it is
a pleasure to meet the girl or woman
who is, to use a slang term, well
groomed.' The cloth gown of such a
woman fits her without a crease, and
there is neither speck nor spot on it.
Her linen collar and cuffs are snowy

their places. Her gloves do not

wrists. Her shoes are kept clean and
polished. Her bonnet or hat is pinned

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do 1t by Starving 1t Either.
Let a Substitute Do the Work.

-@Nb a D0DotAeAbS DO bAAO hBOA
The old adage, "All work and no
play makes Jack dull boy" applies
just as well to the stomach, one of the
most important organs of the human
system, as it does to the man himself.
If your stomach is worn out and
rebels against being further taxed be-
yond it's limit. the only sensible thing
you can do is to give it a rest EN-
ploy a substitute for a short time and
see if it will not more than repay you
in results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
willing and most efficient substitute.
They themselves digest every bit Of
food in the stomach in just the same
way that the stomach itself would
were it well. They contain all the es-
sential elements that the gastric juice
and other digestive fluids of the
stomach contain and actually act just
the same and do just the same work as
the natural fluids would do, were the
stomach we'll and sound. They there
fore relieve the stomach, just as one
workman relieves another, and permit
it to rest and recuperate and regain it's
normal health and strength.
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer in
Chicago. Read what he says: II was
engaged in the most momentous un-
dertaking of my life in bringing about
the coalition of certain great interests
that meant much to me as we'll as my
clients 1t was not the work of DAYS,
but of months; 1 was working night
= IL, af
time my stomach went clear back on
me. The undue mental strain brought
it about and hurried UP what would
have happened later on.
What 1 ate had to literally force
down and that was a source of misery.
as 1 had sour stomach much of the
time. My head ached, was sluggish
and began to lose my ambition to
carry out my undertaking. 1t looked
pretty gloomy for me and I confided
my plight to one of my clients. He
had been cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and at once went down to a.
drug store and brought box up to
the office.
II had not taken a quarter of that
box before found that they would do
all the work my stomach ever did;
and as a rest or vacation was out of
the question for me, l determined to
give my stomach a vacation. I kept
right on taking the tablets and braced
ur, and went ahead with my work with
renewed vigor, ate just as much as I
ever did and carried out that under
taking to a successful issue. 1 feel
that 1 have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
to thank for saving me the handsomest
fee ever received, as we'll as my repu-
tation, and, last but not least, my
stomach

sale by all druggists at so cents a box.

Queer LEGAL Sentences.

The courts in two States have at
tempted to answer a question that has
been perplexing the jurists and patriots
namely, what can be done to re-
lieVe the judicial system of the stigma
put upon it by the inadequacy of pun
isnents in the case Of crime? The first
case is presented by a court in Texas.
where a Judge cannot impose a death
sentence. Allen Brown, a negro con-
Victed Of attempted assault, has been
sentenced in the District Court of
Cherokee County TO 1000 years in the
penitentiary. If his time is reduced
two months a year for good behavior
Brown viii be a free man in A. D. 273S.
California furnishes the other in
stance. John II. Wood, leader of the
cOnvicts who escaped from the Folsom
penitentiary last summer, and who
was convicted Of murder in the second
degree Judge Hart did not impose
another punishment, but ordered the
prisoner TO appear one hundred years
from that date and receive sentence. In
both cases the Judges felt that the
emergency called for something excep-
tOnal, and they did the best their linn
tied knowledge of the law indicated as
suitable.-New York Herald.

Birmingham has been able to boast
of being the best governed city in the
kingdom ever since the days when JO-
seph Chamberlain was conf1ning his en-
ergies to municipal management But
now the vexed question Of liquor Ii
censes has brought a reaction against
the reform movement. For nearly a
decade Arthur Chamberlain has been
deputy chairman of the magisterial
bench and therefore, according to GUS
tom, the chairman Of the licensing
committee. During a large portion Of
that time he has been working for
the suppression CT unnecessary licenses
and against the principle of regarding
an annual license as a perpetual per-
mission to traffic in liquor. The whole
forces of trade have been gathered to
carry Mr.. Chamberlain's position; and

Tho Republican Convention.

The most numerous and the most
harmonious republican convention
that has assembled in Colorado since
the break up of the party in 1892
met in the city Of Denver yester
day.
Personal quarrels, factional hat
reds and disputes Of policy were
thrown aside, and the representative
republicans Of Colorado united in
endorsing President Roosevelt for
denomination and in pledging him
the electoral votes of this state.
With this purpose in view there
was selected strong delegation at
large composed of representative re-
publicans and impsrtislly chosen
from the various elements of the
party, while the First congressional
district selected its district delegates
according to the same high standard
that had been observed by the Sec
ond district convention at Glenwood
Springs.
The condition of the republican
party in Colorado at the present
time are better than they have been
for dozen years past, and the pros
poets of party success in the ap
preaching campaign are exception
ally bright.
The magnificent record of the
Roosevelt administration has appeal
ed to the patriotism, the imagina
ton and the sober business interests
of the west, and it is understood and
appreciated nowhere better than in
Colorado. The triumph of republi
can principles appears in striking
contrast with the democratic faction
al strife and its approaching repudi.
alton of former candidates and alleg
ed paramount principles. The evi
