WRIT IS DENIED.
Mrs. Rogers Habeas Corpus Petition
Has Failed.

Brattleboro, Vt, June 22.-The
habeas corpus petition of Mary NJ
Rogers, under sentence of death for
the murder of her husband, was de-
MED by Judge Wheeler, sitting as a
justice of the United States circuit
court today.
It is understood that an appeal to
the United States supreme court Will
be taken and that pending a decision by
that body Mrs. Rogers, whose reprieve
expires tomorrow, will not be hanged.
Later Mrs. Rogers attorneys
formally fled an appeal. Judge
Wheeler announced his readiness
to grant it, but said he would
not sign the necessary papers until 4
o'clock this afternoon, in order that
Governor Bell might have an oppor-
tunity again to reprieve. Mrs. Rogers.
At the same time the judge declared
that if the governor did not grant a
further aeprieye the court would issue
an order returning Mrs. Rogers to the
custody of the United States marshal
pending a decision on the appeal Coun-
sci for Mrs. Rogers said this meant
that she would not be hanged tomor-
row under any circumstances.

THREE ON A SIDE.
How the Russia-Japan Peace COM
mission VIII Be Constituted.

St. Petersburg, June 22.-The Russ
says it is authorized to say that Count
Cassini, the retiring Russian ambas-
sador at Washington, will not par
Ticipate in the peace negotiations but
will leave the United States immedi-
ately on the arrival of Baron Rosen,
his successor.
From Independent sources the As
sociated Press confirms the statement
of the Russ that Count Cassini will
have no part in the peace negotiations.
Foreign Minister LamsdOrff is in
disposed. 1t is understood his condf-
ton is not serious but his physician
was called in last night and ordered
the minister not to leave his bedroom
today. There is no intimati0n, how
ever, that this will appreciably delay
the pending negotiations. The ques-
ton of a temporary suspension of hos
tihties seems to rest with Japan.
In the meantime the chancellories
of st. Petersburg and Toxic are oc-
cupled with the selection of the plenl-
pOtentiaries. 1t can now be regarded
as settled that they will number three
on each side. An important consid-
GRAFTON requiring adjustment is the de-
sire of each country to appoint nego-
tiatOrs of equal rank and this IN
creases the probability that NJ. Wltte,
president of the committee OF MINIS
ters. may be one of the RusSian
plenipotentiaries if Japan names Mar
quis Ito, president of the japanese
privy council. It is possible that N.
Nelidoff. the Russian ambassador at
Paris, may go to Washington. AS
dean of the Russian diplomatic corps
he was the first choice of the foreign
Office, but he is of advanced age and
his health is not robust. Besides M.
NeIfdof is an exceedingly bad sailor
and it is still an open question whether
he NAV not ask to be relieved of his
mission. In such an event it is con-
sidered certain that Baron Rosen will
he anr4Ointed.

So-CaIIed Prophecies.

Any man of lively fancy, who
knows enough of human nature to
realize its abiding needs, can enumer-
ate future discoveries by the dozen
with fair chance that perhaps one
in thousand may be realized within
century, says the London Spectator.
To the same class belong the curious
anticipation by native tribes. which
generally take the form of news
known, when by no conceivable
means could information have reached
them by ordinary channels. The pres
ent writer believes that this phenom-
enon, which some have explained by
telegraphy, is simply form of an.
ticipation. The native is an inveter-
ate guesser and since his tongue
never ceases and his invention is
active, he makes enough attempts to
be fairly certain of STUN bling now
and then on the truth.

JOKE ON THE JOKER.
Illustration of Henry Ward Beecher's
Excellence at Repartee.

That Henry Ward Beecher was
spared much embarrassment by his
quickness at repartee is illustrated
by the following story:
One evening. as he was in the midst
of an impassioned speech, someone
attempted to interrupt him by sud
denly growing like a rooster. 1t was
done to perfection; number of peo-
pie laughed in spite of themselves,
and the speakers friends felt that in
a moment the whole effect of the meet
ing, and of Mr.. Beecher's thrilling ap-
peals. might be lost. The orator, how
ever, was equal to the occasion. He
stopped, listened till the Growing
ceased, and then, with look of sur
prise, pulled out his watch
Morning already" he said; my
watch is only at ten. But there can
be no mistake about it. The instincts
of the lower animals are infallible."
There was a roar of laughter. The
lower animal in the gallery col
lapsed, and Mr.. Beecher was able to
resume as if nothing had occurred

Snakes in Water.

Ali reptiles swim. Almost all
snakes move through the water with
as much ease and rapidity as on land.
Rattlesnakes, for example, are much
given to swimming in placid water If
1t is not too cold. In the Everglade
lakes OF Florida they may be often
seen. 1t is well to know that to at
tack from a boat poisonous snake
in the water is a much more danger
GUS proceeding than to attack the
snake on land. The reason is that the
reptile will Immediately make for the

MAY BE RACE OF GIANTS.
One of the Possibilities of Continued
Use of lecithin.

The process by which a human be
ing or other animal grows is some
thing of mystery, and nobody knows
why development comes to an end at
certain stage of life. 1t is supposed
that an alligator continues to grow
throughout its entire life, and the
same may be true of some other rep
tiles; but the growth period of a
mammal is usually limited to about
one-fifth of the term of it's natural
existence. If development during that
period can be accelerated the size of
the animal at maturity will be great
er. Hence it is thought that children
1udiciously dosed with lecitian may in
this way be made to grow taller and
more muscular Perhaps, indeed, by
this simple means we may yet be
able to create a race of giants, such
as the people described in the story

nous size to wonderful food.
