Reading, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE crime
of Mrs. Edwards and the negro Grea-
son, both of whom have been repriev-
ed, was one of the most dastardly
and cowardly outrages in the criminal
annals of Pennsylvania. The woman
is 40 years old and the mother of
six children. In 1882, when she was
little more than girl, she was mar
ried to John Edwards, a farmer, 10
years her senior. From her birth
the girl had been brought up in the
midst of dire poverty. AS soon as
she was able to work she was COM
PEELED to contribute to the mainte-
nance of the household. From the
beginning of their married life her
husband drank to excess, and at times
was brutal. He beat her, choked her
and clubbed her. Stunned by white
associates, Edwards sought the COM
panionship of lone negro, Greason,
who worked in the quarry at which
he was employed. The negro associ-
| ate he brought to his home and in
troduced to his wife and 14-year-old
daughter. He brought him constant
ly until his presence became an ac-
customed fact, and the negro became
a familiar friend of the family.
On the morning of July 4, 1901,
Edwards was found dead. The badly
tom of a cistern.. His head had been
pounded into a jelly with a hammer.
Kate Edwards, the daughter Mary
Samuel Greason, Charles Rollins
Bill Jones and Shorty" Thompson
(all of the men negroes) were at one
time or another committed to prison
on information alleging the murder
of Edwards. The woman was tried
and convicted in September, 1901
Samuel Greason was tried and con.
victed two months later. All the
others were discharged.
On the trial of the cases, the Com
monwealth advanced the theory tina

ing the vengeance of her husband
when her child was born, she securet
Greason's assistance, and that to
gether they murdered Edwards. Tn
child, Alma Edwards, was born in tn
I Berks county prison on July 1S, 1901
nine days after the crime, and prove
to be a mulatto.
The progress of the case was file
I with many surprises. Three separat

court in Greason's case. An act of tn
legislature was passed for the spe

ABDICATION OF AUTOCRATIC
power IS VERY complete

St. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-"I am
sure the American people, who under
stand what freedom is, and the press
of the United States, which voices the
wishes Of the people, will rejoice with
the friendly Russian nation at this
moment, when the Russian people have
received from his imperial majesty the
promises and the guarantees of free.
dom, and will join in the hope that the
Russian people will wisely aid in the
realization of those liberties by coop.
Grating with the government for theil
peaceful Introduction. Only thus will
1t be possible to secure the full benefits
Of the freedom conferred upon the peo'
ple."
Count Witte. Russia's first premier,
last night sent the above message to
the American people through the As.
ISOLATED Press. He had just arrived
at his residence from Peterhof, where,
in the Alexander palace, the emperor
two hours before had given his approx.
al to a manifesto and to program
which will forever end the rule of ab'
solutism exercised by him and his an
cestors for 800 years.
Emperor Yields Everything.
A simple perusal of the manifesto
shows how complete is the emperor e
abdication Of his autocratic power.
The very style of the document il
clear and direct and devoid of verbose
vague and bonn astio phraseology
which heretofore characterized hit
majesty's msnifestos. 1t not only be.
trays the real authorship, but shows
that the emperor has at last irrevoca
bly, bowed to the inevitable.
He does not even conceal the fact
that the discomfort and agitation OF
his subjects has driven him t. take
the steps and practically yields every
thing-oivil liberty, the inviolability
Of the person and liberty Of con
science, speech and assembly.
He not only converts the faIcica
imperial douma with only consultative
power, into an absolute legislative as
sembly, without the assent Of which
no measure shall become law snt
before which all governmental author
tiles must answer, but promises event
ually universal suffrage.
Title Now Becomes Obsolete.
The title "autocrat Of all the Rus
sias," with which the manifesto be-
gins, now takes its place with the title
liking of Jerusalem" borne by the
king of Spain, and the emperor OF
Austria, and with other obsolete titles
of European sovereigns.

W. Perkins were with Finance Minis

THE PATTERSON TRAGEDY.

Last week we annount ed the death
of Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Jones, parents OF
Mrs. o. A. Patterson of this city. Ter
rible as seemed the sudden news of this
double death. the sequel was still more
tragic, for it appears that in moment
of temporary insanity. MIR. Jones shot
and instantly killed his wife and then
turned the revolver upon himself with
equally fatal effect. The daily papers
printed sensational accounts of the
tragedy, but we are informed through
letters from Mr.. Patterooa that there
was no quarrel nor occasion for quar-
rel between man and wife; that MI.
Jones had suffered sun-stroke scme
years ago and that for the past year he
had been in extreme bad health Mr..
Patterson states that the only theory by
which the fearful deed can he account
en- for is that of temporary insanity.
A son and mrrried daughter were
at the home at the tine and they assert
that there was no rupture in the atfec-
tionate relations which had always exist
ed between their parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones we're well-to-do
and financial matters did not trouble
the IN as stated in some papers.
Mrs. Patterson will remain in Ohio
for some time. but Mr.. Patterson ex-
poets to return to Denlson within the

or as best we may to tighten the burden

ARour 1HE.cEMEIERY.

Mr.. C. ID. Miller has shown his good
faith to the Denison people by his
liberal offer for the sale of the ceme-
terry. AS the sale was not effected he
will have charge of the cemetery dur
ing the year and he is anxious to give
the grounds the best care possible.
TO this end he asks that more care be
taken by individuals, calling especial
atte ntion to the fact that many dig
holes in their lots or in the avenues
for the purpose of getting dirt or sod,
These holes are also dug along the
roadway in front Of the cemetery. 1t
is almost impossible to NOW over these
holes and they leave unsightly scars
that spoil the appearance of the entire
cemetery. Others, clean rubbish from
their lots and throw it in the avenues.
All these things have tendency to
make the cemetery look untdy and
ill-kempt in spite of any efforts that
Mr.. Miller may make to keep things in
good trim. Mr.. Miller has employed
Mr.. Leonard Johnson to give the Gem
etery all tbs care necessary and he
further requests us to say that he
greatly appreciates the cooperation of
the many who are keeping their lots
in good shape and making an effort to
beautify the cemetery as a whole.

AN ADVERTISING SUCCESS.

The Hub" tried an advertising expert
ment on Saturday which certainly served
to attract large number of people. Mr..
Petersen advertised in The REVIEW that
on Saturday at three p. M, he would have
a large amount of merchandise thrown
from the top of his store an that it would
be free to all comers. Long before the
hour set the streets about the ''Hub" we're
crowded, and when the goods, consisting
of shirts. collars, cravats, hats, caps, pants
and underwear came whirling through the
air there were perhaps thousand people
on hand either to take part in the scram-
BILE or to watch the fun. The success of
the advertisement is not only creditable to
Mr.. Petcrsen's ingenuity, but is compli-
mentary to The REVIEW as an advertising
agent as no hand-bills or other advertise
ments were used and the only newspaper
announcement that had time to reach the
people was made in the columns of this
paper. The REVIEW brings results.

Brilliant Manila Girl Dies of
Nervous Prostration.

Remains Reach Manila Tonight.
Neighboring City Plunged lin Grie
Over the Death Of Their Favorite.

~
The :ad news Of the death of Miss
Amy Thompson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Silas Thompson. reached Manila
on yestel day morning. The remains
are expected to reach Manila this
evening, but as yet no arrangements
for the funeral service have been an
nounced.
Miss Thompson was one OF Manilla's
brightest and most favored daughters,
known and loved bysail, Ger Christian
life will long be beautiful memory.
She graduated from the Manila high
school in 1900, being one of the very
best of her class. Later she went to
Simpson college at Indianola where
she was studying TART. She was en-
crossed with her work and it was her
yea, as student which brought on
nervous prostration and caused her
untimelY death. She was twenty-one
years of age and apparently had the
brightest future in store for her.
She was conscientious member of
the Methodist church Of Manila, q
faithful worker in the Epworth
League and young lady of the very
highest character. The REVIEW joins
with the many friends in the profound
sorrow at her death and in sympathy
with her grief stricken parents. We
can give no other explanation of the

life together and bespsak for them the
