New York. November S.-(speeiaD.- In a sunlight room overlooking green lawns. and dalntily furnished in man ner intended to soothe mind and body. a woman of past thirty was absorbed yes- terday afternoon in the most terrible chapter in the life of Mrs. Florence Maybrick. It had to do with the cell in an English prison In which Mrs May brick could not shut out the sounds or worlkmen building gallows on which she was to hang
 The writer was Mrs. Florence May brick herself. She Is preparing in the home of pr. Helen Densmore. Eighty fourth street and Eleventh avenue, Brooklyn. history of the famous May brick case. by which she intends to prove to the world that no stigma at taches to her name.
 But deare- to her than this universal vindication IS the hope that, if won, 1t will bring back to her her two children, a beautiful girl, now eighteen, and a youth of twenty-four. They still believe their mother guilty, and she has not seen them since she was thrust into prison more than fifteen years ago.
 Contrary to reports that considerable remains of the ample fortune of Mrs. Maybrick, she Is not well to do. She has sold the serial rights of her book however, for 8 good sum. Mrs. Dens- more Is friend whose loyalty remained steadfast during years when Mrs. May brick had few who believed in her in- nocence.

Free from Prison Faint.


 Mrs Maybrick is a remarkable woman," Mrs. Densmore said yesterday. Tt has been said that no person could spend protracted period in prison with out being marked for life by prison taint." There Is absolutely nothing in the mind, body, or demeanor of Mrs. Maybrick to suggest that for fifteen years she was assailed by terrible con- 0itions which would have overwhelmed a person of less nobility"
 The Densmore residence in Dyker Heights Park, suggests an English villa. with it's broad sweep of piazza, pie turesque gables and lawns sloping to the street. It is just such place as Mrs. Maybrick dearly loves, and if her children were with her. her happiness would be complete. There is apparently no lessenng in the powers of her brill iant conversation, her graciousness of manner and appealing dark eyes. Her step is buoyant and her boise admir- ablt
 She will call he story "A Travesty of Justice" It will deal with condi- tions and circumstances which were not brought out in the evidence heard in London courts. She will tell the world that her husband, James May brick, died of natural causes, and that the web and wool of evidence which came so near bringing her to death on the gallows was woven by the English police. The story begins with the ill- ness of her husband, which resulted

REV. ELWOOD
TO BE TRIED

NEW CASTLE, Del. Feb 2.-Becanse
ne preached sermon which his brother
ministers believe was in measure re-.
sponsible for the burning at the stake of
the negro George White near Wilmington
last June, the Rev. Robert A. Elwood
pastor of Olivet Presbyterian church of
wilmington, was today placed on trial be.
fore the New Castle Presbytery on a gen.
eral charge of "Unchristian and unminis-
terial conduct
The trial is being held in the Presbv
terrain church and large crowd was pres
ent at the opening this morning. The
proceedings began with the reading of the
bill of information containing the charges
against Mr.. Elwood The bill quoted
at length from the sermon which Mr.. FL
wood delivered Sunday, June q. twenty
four hours before the burning of the negro
on the subject, Should the Murderer of
Miss Helen Bishop Be Lynched?" The
charges went on to state that even if the
accused pastor did not actually incite hear
ers and readers of his sermon to riot he
was guilty of advocating violence and dis
obedience to law, that his preaching from
a text from the constitution of the United
States was an act dishonoring the Bible.
and that his sermon was in many respects
contrary to the tenets of the Presbyterian
church. Former Attorney General Robert
c. White appeared for the accused pastor
and the trial promises to be vigorously con-
tested by both sides.

BURGLAR DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT HE WAS DOING

John Ripley, arrested Saturday on the
charge of entering the rooms of several
dodgers of the Baker hotel, 743 Commerce
street, was arraigned yesterday in the
police court. His case has been set for
hearing Friday.
To the court Ripley stated that while
under the influence of liquor he was sub
ject. to Authorizations. Accordingly he
admitted to the court that he might have
been suffering from some hallucination
when he entered Jacobson's room in the
hotel
Ripley claimed that he had been paid
by the Northern Pacific Railway company
for work done in its employ and also that
some money was due him from a local
stevedoring company for labor performed.
He also said that he and jacobson had
worked together on the water front and
that there had been some uncompli-
mentary remarks between them on the

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 2.-There' S
story going the rounds about an old
Texan who warned his son, when the lat
ter started on a journey to Washington,
not to be awed by the great men he might
meet. The young man was warned that,
on further acquaintance, he would find
that the statesmen who figure in the head
lines of the newspapers are, after all, Gust
folks"
They are.
Some of them are left-handed, a good
many chew tobacco, and in private CONVEX
sation a good many of them seem to feel
that a cuss word now and then is helpful.
Their conversation isn't all epigrams and
heavy questions of public policy.
A good many of them who have
no particular influence, according to all
reports, have an air of proprietorship in
government affairs.
"Uncle joe Cannon, who is about the
most influential man in congress and has
ability as great as the best of the men sent
here to run things, has the manner of a
plain, everyday American. Asking Mr..
Cannon question about Illinois poll
tics presented an opportunity to get
sketches of him in the speakers office at
the capitol
Uncle Joe strolled in wearing a SLOUGH
hat a heavy overcoat and the inevitable
cigar tilted at the usual aggressive angle.
There was a pleasant greeting and Uncle

Joe sat down at desk stacked with let
tiers and documents. He was asked about
published report that he had promised
his support to one of several candidates
for governor of Illinois.
He turned to face the interviewer, look
ed over his spectacles and then CALCULATED
disgustedly:
ooh, shucks"
Only his expression was a shader than
shucks' He arose and his hands went up
in the air as he proceeded to explain.
Now, don't you see | can't discuss such
blithering reportY' he said "l'm not
taking hand in the fight. If | say any
thing one way or the other it'll be mangled
and distorted. SO I'll just say nothing at
all.
Then he sailed out to the speakers ros-
trum and proceeded, with his good left
hand, TO WELD the gavel for order.

There were living in his cellars and sub
cellars no less than 1876 people, men, women
and children; by actual count 1876.
They had evidently been living there in
definitely and the whole place was in a
state of indescribable filth. The bad
smells were more than accounted for, and
though Tower evicted the people, he never
quite enjoyed his fine hous1 again and
was glad when the president transferred
him to more civilized Berlin just how
many of such places were invaded by the
cleansing food of the Nova can only be
coniectured
In the reverse of this picture of poverty
the traveller finds st. Petersburg the most
expensive city of Europe. Living at a
hotel costs him from S4 to $40 day Or
chestra seats in the theater cost from 81
a seat for the first row to "a seat
for the back row. If he likes wine with
his dinner he finds that the worst French
claret is a dollar bottle and the worst
German champagne So bottle. What
good wine costs may be imagined.
Then there are schemes in St Peters
burg to get tips which are new even to q
man hardened by London and Vienna. In
the first place when you go into fine
house or place of any kind it is against
al Russian etiquette to take your hat and
coat with you. There is place in the
vestibule for them and an attendant to
help you take them off. He is very polite
and helpful and expects at least cents
every time he does it. When you make
dozen or so calls in day you find that
you have spent very tidy little sum,
If you are doing business with gov
eminent Office it is necessary to also tip
a little higher grade of attendant, and
even some of the clerks and secretaries. II
you fail to remember them the man you
want to see will always be out when you
call. and he might as well be at the north
mole for all the likelihood you will have
of seeing him.
The highest officials in st. Petersburg
lre presumed to be honest, although there
are many who doubt this, but practically
an the minor ones are corrupt. 1t IS less
open than it is in Constantinople, but
bribery is nearly as effective and as neces-
sary. The average official on a salary Of
81 900 year lives at the rate OF SlOOoO,
and he makes up the balance by black
mail and theft.
Universal experience shows that corup-
ton breeds extravaganza; easy come, easy
go. and the officials who find illicit per.
alisites a pleasant access OF income, spend
them most lavishly. The official through
fast spending finds it necessary to be dis
honest to recoup himself, and being dis
honest makes it easy for him have
money to spend, and so the devils dance
of extravaganza and corruption continues
Sometimes the better off people come ia
grief and are sucked down into the misery
of the cellars, but on the surface, ST
Petersburg keeps up bold front OF coun
terfeit magnifcence which for the most
part deceives itself and unusually de
eeives the world as well.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. Built on
swamp against nature and against rea-
son bv the fiat of an autocrat, st. Peters
burg today is as artificial in its maturity as
it was in its origin. Pretending in its eX-
ternal appearance to be like Paris and
other cities of western Europe, it is at
heart Asiatic and eastern.
Situated on the northern boundary OF
the wheat belt in a region of almost arctic
desolation. it is great because it feeds
like a parasite on the whole OF the Rus
sian empire. There are only two ways
of making living in st. Petersburg. The
first way is to work for the government;
the second is to get money away from
those who do work for the government.
In way st. Petersburg is very hand
some city. The streets are regular and
unusually wide; the Neva, which bisects
if as the Thames does London, or the
Seine Paris, is more than twice as WIDE as
either of these streams, and the govern
ment buildings are well built and exceed
inqlv numerous. But the whole looks as
if it wre meade to order by a government
architect. There is no indication OF ma
tural growth, of individual effort or OF art
for the sake of art; in fact, no art OF any
kind 1t is a huge, cumbrous expression,
in bricks and mortar, of autocratic power.
As such it is impressive.
Peter the Great decreed and began
it: other czars finished it, but theer is no
trace of the ordinary human struggle
against varying fortunes which make other
cities appealing. St. Petersburg today is
the most imperial city in the world, there
fore the least natural and the least desir-
able to live in.
The recent food in st. Petersburg, caus-
