"Prof. ]. G. Camp delivered one
of the finest lectures that the attend
ants at the Chautauqua have had
the pleasure of listening to this
year. The title of his lecture was

ed in eloquence and superb
rhetoric. He was one of the
favorites on the Chautauqua pro-
gram"

The fight was very interesting
one but it ended good naturedly.
Seward |. Field, the defeated can
didate for mayor, made remarka-
bic race against odds. The fact
that he led his ticket as he did
speaks more for his standing than
words possibly can. But the tenn
perance wave was too strong for
even the best man of different
views to Counteract.
The outgoing council will meet
tonight and canvas the vote and
the new administration will be
sworn in. The appointments will
be made the first Monday night in

the court in which she was found guilty
of numbering her husband, Marcus Rogers
or be granted a reprieve while the Su-
preme Court is petitioned for new trial,

This much was made known by the
governor at the conclusion of a hearing
given by him yesterday, and at which he
was urged to grant a stay OF execution.
Gov. Bell added that the privilege to re
siga belonged to the sheriff and deputies
who were among the petitioners. Yester-
days hearing presented the unusual spec
tacle offive officers of the law charged
with the inflcton Of the death penalty
pleading with the governor OF the state
10 delay their duties. Briefly, Gov. Bell
was asked to delay the execution until
newly discovered evidence could be pre-
sented before the Supreme Court with a
petition for q new trial. The petitioners
alleged that Leon Perham, now serving
a life sentence for completely in the crime
had recently confessed that be had lied
on the stand, swearing away Mrs. Rogers
life to save himself from hegallows; that
Mrs. Rogers was an accessory rather than
the principal, according to Perhom's al

alleged confession, in which he was quot.
ed as admitting that he, and not Mrs
Rogers, administered the chloroform
that there was hereditary insanity in the
Rogers family, and that the physical con
dition Of the condemned weman at th'
time the crime was committed was suci

Hebrews o bject to Co ount Cassini.

/ Hebrews o bject to cunt Cassini.
George F. Lyons. secretary OF the
New York Press Club, has received no
tice from all Jewish members of the
Press Club and guests that they wish to
cancel their acceptaBces to the dinner
TO President Roosevelt at the Waldorf
Astoria, February Is. The move has
caused big sensation, for The incident
now takes an international flavor and
is likely to cause lot OF studying by
sminent politicians between now and the
date OF the banquet. The Jews have
withdrawn because Count Cassini 10 the
only am moassador invited to the banquet,
at least his is the only name printed on
the advance programmes OF the affair,
which is to be the most notable OF Its
kind ever givenin New York. The Jews
declare that the Russian ambassador
cannot fail to make capital out OF the
azair by cabling st. Petersburg that
the friendliness. and sympathy OF the
American press toward Russia as against
Japan is made plain by his presence
at the press banquet to the head OF the
nation to the exclusion of representa-
tives OF every other foreign government.
Further, they refuse to lend their pres
ence to an affair which they declare Is
made conspicuous honor to the ambas-
sador OF nation responsible for Kishl'
neff and other outrages against their
race. The withdrawal is a protest
against creating situation which, the
Jews argue, will be paraded as an object
lesson for Europe and for its dishearten-
ing effect upon japan. Among the
Jewish guests who were to have attended
are Banker Joseph Schif, j. and l..
Seligman, Jacob Stern and others equally
as prominent in the financial world.
Rabbi Jacob Goldstein, pastor OF the
Hebrew Sheltering Guardian Home and
almoner for Jewish charities, in New
York, is another who has Withdrawn,
with five who were to have been guests.
