HAWKS KILL SPARROWS
Hard Winter Drives the Former To Hunt In
Town.

One OF the results OF the prolonged
cold weather and deep snow is the APP
pearance in the village at different
points, of hawks which prey on the
numerous colonies of English spar
rows. Food for the hawks has appar-
emily become so scarce in the woods
that the cravings OF hunger have over
come the wildness Of the rapacious
birds and they have taken to the vii.
lage for feeding ground.
1t is no uncommon thing tina. while
flo k of sparrows aie summing them
selves on the top of piazza or the
ridge pole OF barn, or located in any
sunny place, to see dark object sud-
denly sweep down among che sparrows
with the speed of an arrow and before
they can realize that an enemy is near
the hawk has made capture of one r
more and is bearing it away in its tai
ons, the half paralyzed sparrow mean.
while uttering distressing cries.

SIMILAR TO
MRS. ROGERS
Case of Kate Edwards of
Pennsylvania
ARGUED BEFORE GOV.
Governor Does Not Approve Of
Capital Punishment but Laws
Must Be Enforced.
ARGUED BEFORE GOV.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. o. - The
Rev. Martin Sweitzer of Norrlstown,
Pa. son of the spiritual adviser of
Mrs. Kate Edwards, who is to oe
hanged at Reading next week for tue
murder OF her husband, called on Gov
ernor Pennypacker in the interest of
the woman. He was accompanied by a
committee of Berks county officials
who are interested in the case.
Mr.. Sweitzer presented lengthy pc
tition asking for clemency in behalf Of
Mrs. Edwards.
why do you come to me with this
petitionT asked the governor.
I'VE want to enlist your sympathies
for this woman" replied Mr.. Sweitzer
This is exactly what the constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania means TO pre-
vent" said the governor. but it seems
that these people after thirty years do
not yet understand this"
II am opposed to capital punish
ment," continued Rev. SweitZer.
80 am /" replied the governor, but
| sat and tried murderers for thirteen
years when was on the bench. Hang
ing is relic of barbarism. If it is
wrong for one man TO kill another it is
wrong for a thousand TO kill one per-
SON"
Rev. Sweitzer said he regarded the
murder as being almost justified on the
plea of self defense, as Mrs. Edwards
husband was a worthless brute"
Many OF us may think it would not
lie bad thing to get the lowest speci-
mems of humanity together and exter-
inmate them in some painless manner"
answered the governor. They might
not be loss to society. but the law
cannot consider this. Would you tell all
women to kill their husbands If they
are worthless?'
Then what can be done?" finally
asked Mr.. SweitZer.
Hand your petition to the board Of
pardons, for the board is the proper au-
thority," said the governor.
should the board decide to act ia
yorably l would consider everything
you have said when consider that rec
ommendation. do not like to see Il
woman hang, but did not make the
law"
Governor Pennypacker said II was
difficult to deal with case like this,
which appealed to sentiment entirely,
and added: ut may seem strange but
in not one of the letters, petitions and
kilograms am receiving is single
reference made to Greason, who is un-
der sentence to be executed on the
same date for the same crime. Do
these people want Greason to hang and
Mrs. Edwards committed? If they do
not they fail to say So"
The committee next called at the Of
fee of the board and filed Il petition.

Slight Improvement but the
Reservoir Is Lowering
MUCH WATER WASTED
Night Drawing to Protect Pipes
Does Not Allow Reservoir
to Fill

Owing to the large amount OF water
which has been drawn out of the viii
lage reservoir during the last few
days and nights, persons using water
motors we're notified not to run them
that day.
The scarcity OF water in the reservoir
is due to the fact that for several nights
five times as much was drawn out as
in the day time Usually more water
is used during the day than the inlet
can pour into the reservoir but the
lack is made up during the night.
Recently the faucets have been left
open in many houses in order to keep
the water from freezing. Many OF the
persons doing this have been notified
TO stop Immediately and marked i'm
provement was noticed Wednesday
night.
AT present there is no danger OF the
supply for ordinary purposes giving
out but few more nights of the prac-
tice of waste would have drawn the
reservoir dry.
