DECIDES ASPHALT CASE.
The Venezuelan Supreme Court Ends
Lengthy Litigation.

Caracas, Feb. 1.-The federal high
court sitting in full session with ten
Judges on the bench has finally hand
ed down a decision in the long drawn
out asphalt case. The court gives as
its unanimous judgment the opinion
that the claims Of Messrs. Warner
and Quinlan of Syracuse, N. Y, to
possession of the Fe!icidad asphalt
mine, a portion of the asphalt lake in
the state of Bermudez, claimed also
by the New York and Bermudez AS.
phalt company, who hold a conces-iI
sion - work the lake, is null and void
The Felicidad mine was bought in
1893 by Messrs. Warner and Quinlan.
The court bases it's opinion on the.
argument that while the concession
of the Bermudez company was valid
no claim to the Felicidad mine could
be granted. The debates revealed the
fact that Messrs. Warner and Quinlan
had bought the Felicidad mine with
out receiving proper title from the
vendors. II

WILL NOT EXCLUDE HER.
Mrs. Maybrick May Establish Amer
lean Citizenship.

Washington, heb. Ain view OF the
suggestion that has been made in the
press to the effect that Mrs. Maybrick
when released from prison will not
be permitted to land in the United
States on the ground that she has
been a convict, it is learned that the
issue will probably be avoided.
The state department practice has
been to admit the rights of an Amer
lean woman who has married an alien
to regain her citizenship in America
on the death of her husband by a
mere assertion of her desire to do so.
Mrs. Maybrick may, therefore,
come into the United States as an
American citizen.

e KILLING Mrs. j. r. Seville.

- S\tSSSItS VIC - wa 81. ~
Detroit, Mich, Feb. Joseph,
alias Meunier, Sunday walked
into police headquarters and gave
himself up, admitting that he stabbed,
Mrs. James Il. Seville to death Satur-
day. Miller told the police that the
only reason he had for killing Mrs.
Seville, whom he loved, was that he
believed that she and her husband
had concocted applet to cheat him out
of his money. He said that before
stabbing Mrs. Seville to death he had
decided to poison her and bought a
half pint of sherry in which he placed
twenty grains of arsenic. He offered
her this drink, but Mrs. Seville re-
fused to take it.
Miller expresses no regret for his
horrible deed, Miller, whose right
name is Meunier, formerly lived in
Manchester, N. H., where he deserted
his wife. He was considered eccen-
trio but had no police record.

MRS. MAVERICK IN CARE OF SIS
0 TERHoOD.
Will REMAIN TILL July
Living at Quiet Home Recuperating
Her Health and Growing
New Hair.

London, Feb. 4.-The Associated
Press can announce with authority
that Mrs. Florence Maybrick is now
in a home in a distant part OF England
and under the care of the members
of a religious sisterhood. She has
not been released and h is kept I'M
der surveillance; but to all intents
and purposes her life now, compared
to her existence in Aylesbury prison,
Is that of a free woman She will re-
main where she is until next July,
when her punishment will be ended
under special license and sne will be
allowed to go free, subject to certain
conditions governing ticket-of-leave
cOnvicts. ',
The transfer of, Mrs. Maybrlck
from a penal prison to a quiet home
constitutes an almost unprecedented
action on the part of the authorities.
It is due to the mediation OF Adellne
Marc, who has been a visitor at the
prison for many years, and who mas
taken a personal interest in Mrs.
Maybrick and has succeeded in OBJ
tanning the mitigation of punishment
to the extent of her being allowed
to spend the last six months of her
confinement outside the prison walls.
The home Office, several months
ago, agreed to meet the request OF
the Duchess of Bedford, although 1t
imposed a pledge of secrecy. There
fore, in order to permit her hair to
grow out again and for The recupera'
ton of her health, Mrs. Maybrick
was quietly transferred to this quiet
place, where, although she is still &C
tually a convict under a life sentence,
she lives in freedom that bellies her
real status. Her exact whereabouts
is guarded with secrecy, chiefly for
the purpose of preventing criticism OF
the government for having taken the
foregoing exceptional steps in her
case.

Of an idea that had its inception In
vacant store in San Francisco four
years ago, says the Denver Post. 1t
started, practically, ON a shoestring.
The acorn from which this big combin

room on Market, near Fourth street.
I'm San Francisco, The Unique thoatcr
opened its doors there under the dlrec-
ton az d. J. Grammar, the head of the
new combination. Grammar is the Or
iginator Of the i0-cent vaudeville Idea
and the Unique theater Is stil doing
business as monument TO his genius.
The idea Of the popular priced thea.
ters which have since been established
IN most Of the big cities Of the west
was an inspiration Grammar had Just
returned from the gold fields Of Alaska
with his oXchequer In about the same
condition as when he started. He went
into one Of the museums on Market
street to forget his troubles. After he
came out he passed the vacant room
and the idea Of a cheap but respectable
show for women and children struck
him so hard that he did not recover
from the blow until he had hunted up
the agent for the property and secured
an option on the place. Then he sought
out a friend who advanced the money
20 pay the $500 rent.
The business was so successful that in

theaters did such a business that the
Orpheum Vaudeville company bought
ont the seventh street house for 100000,
Since then the popular priced theater
has spread all over the west. Grammar
has half a dozen theaters in as many
