A STRAGE CASE.
OSSIFICATION WILL PREVENT THE
EXECUTION OF A MURDERER.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 9. Because of
a peculiar freak of nature Robert
Gardiner, a prisoner in the Coun-
ty Jail here charged with the muir
der of Agnes Morrison. may escape
the death penalty. When he was
arraigned in court to-day his at
torney, William Buckner, startled
the court by turning to Assistant
States Attorney Barbour and say
ing:
This is a case where itwon't do
You any good to ask for the death
penalty. They can't break this
mans neck If they do try. to bang
him, and you may lose him alto
gether by hanging him. and fail
ing to execute the sentence in full.
1t appears that the prisoner is
suffering from Justification of the
vertebrae and TISSUES of the neck.
According to Prof. Steffeson, Of
Rush Medical College, only five
cases similar have'ever come to the
notice of the medical profession.
Gardiner, who was rmerly ca
shier. carrying his head titled for
ward and slightly twisted to one
side. He is unable to move bis
head or incline it except with
great effort, and is hardly able to
eat or speak owing to the effect of
the Justification Oh the 'sympathe-,
tic membranes of the throat and
bronchial tubes.
Attorney Buckner declares that
the hardening of bone and tissue
has proceeded 30 far that it would
be impossible to bring any strain
upon the patients neck that would
be sufficiently severe to cauee any
discomfort other than a slight
strainiug of the muscles.

Miss Alice Roosevelt's Costly
Ppresents Barred by the Tariff.

SPECIAL ACT OF CONGRESS MAY BIZ
NECESSARY BEFORE THEY WILL BIZ
PERMITTED TO PASS THROUGH
THE CUsTOM-HOUSE.
Washington, Oct. 16.-If the
Presidents daughter desires to
keep all the costly presents made
to her by Emperors, Sultans and
other potentates during her tour
of the Orient, she will have to ask
the assistance of Congress. In
no other way will she be able to
bring them in duty free, unless
she should donate them to some
National Institution. Miss Alice
will have to declare at San Fran
cisco the value of all the articles
she brings with her.
If the gifts are really worth
100000 as reported, Miss Roose-
welt could not afford to pay the
duty, which would amount appro-
ximately to her fathers salary for
a year: All the jewelry will be
assessed at 60 per cent adj valorem;
the strung pearls which the Sultan
of Sulu handed her after she had
politely refused to become his
wife will be assessed in the same
percentage, as will the laces and
silks which she received from the
Emperess Dowager of China.
Jades, which are said to form a
large portion of the gifts, must
pay 40 per cent. The only way
out of it for Miss Roosevelt is to
have a special act passed by Con-
gress RENTING the duty, or to de-
dictate the gifts to a national insti-
tuition.

Prospective Sugar Prices.
Sugar Planter.

As our readers will have seen,
the sugar markets of the world
have been gradually falling, and
the depression still continues.
America, being the greatest con.
Stunning market. the Americans. of
course become the dominant su-
gar buyers. Cuba, being tied up
with Us by her reciprocity treaty,
is compelled to identify herself
with American buyers, if she is to
get any benefit whatever from the
reciprocity treaty. As the matter
now stands, Cuban sugars are
bringing in New York 2lc per 100
pounds less than the parity of beet
sugars from Europe, aud this apart
from what is an acknowledged fact
among American buyers that at
same relative prices cane sugars
are more desirable than the beet
sugars. So the poor Cuban is now
getting 9-10O Of a cent per pound
more for his sugars that be would
if the reciprocity treaty we're not
in operation. OF course, he would
not take this if he could help him
SELF but he cannot help himself
and has to take it, recognizing. al
he does, the near approach of the /
Louisiana crop, when it will be-
come the turn Of the Louisiana
planter to get squeezed:
The limited amount of sugar left
in Cuba will have to be held over
into the new year or necessarily
disposed of to American buyers
within few weeks. At the pre-
sent quotations in Europe for beet
sugars, selling as they are at $213
for ll2 pounds, they are selling II
less than the cost of production,
and the Europeans would necesss-
sarily be reluctant sellers at such
a level unless they feared s6n
greater losses As the result Of the
oncoming crop. The estimate Of
the sugar crop Of Germany for this
year is about 100000 toms. u
compared with 100000 totis lak
year.

awkward situation in which l was placed-the
nOn-ceremOnious contact with king-seem entirely
natural and plausible. And this impressed, too,
a quality which have heard Others speak of as far
marked in him than in any other sovereign
of to-day, viz. the fact that the two personalities

II struck me strangely.
1t at Adershot in England and just before
a review began he was on horseback at the railway
station talking to the Princess of Wales,
Queen and her three daughters. He chatting
them in the jolest and merriest way and his young
women cousins were replying with spirit. 1t was
simply jolly family party, and he had the gaiety
and Inconsistencies of a society with nothing
TO do except make himself agreeable. Five minutes
later he passed the station at the head of his escort

down into a hard sternness, into grave lines face
with its high cheek-bones and deep eye cavities

the least imaginative in this description. The
most marked characteristic of Emperor William
is this quality of keeping two distinct natures in
him entirely separated, and this, | have said,
was my constant surprise during this trip.
The next most marked impression was of the
extraordinary diversity of his attainments. OF
this much has been heard, and it has not been
exaggerated. \ man of abundant energy and keen
mental appetite he seems to be similar mentally
in this respect to the descriptions of President
Roosevelt. His memory is marvellous As one

never known to be written of before.
The Emperor is of the most practical men
that ever lived His mind responds to no trans

naturally happened, the deck of a ship sailing
dark under brilliant stars, that the trend
of the talk and then ran to philosophy and
the mystery of things in general. No such de-
parture encouraged by him however His only
reference to his feeling such subjects the
interesting remark: Those are the emotions which
a incloses in himself and does not interchange
with others" He held precisely the same attitude
about any transcendental theories regarding gov
ernment sociology and statecraft His mind deals
with facts, finds itself fully occupied with facts,
and Is impatient of improved theories
He is admirable talker, wel-nforrned, clear
and incisive, and he told evening of his
struggles for the establishment of the German
navy the secret history played behind the curtain
and of which the admirals present had learned
only part. This was done with all details as if
the articles which he received the time had just
been read by him. We could feel how close that
question to his heart, and that no combination
whatever could make him desist from the develop

care for himself and for the German nation. What

Emperor had identified himself absolutely with
the interests of his Empire and that he

This was shown most vividly when the news of
