The Famous Hanging Gardens.

Every one, young and old, has
heard of the Hanging Gardens OF
Babylon, but few persons, perhaps,
know how they were constructed.
They were about four acres in ex-
tent, and were built on a base sup
ported by pillars. They rose in ter
races to a height of 800 feet, and Il
is said that they looked, from a dis
tance, like great pyramid covered
with trees. Strange to say, they owed
their existence to the whim of q
woman, Queen Amytis, who grew so
tired OF the plains of Babylon, and
pined so much for the hills OF her
native Media, that her husband,
King Nebuchadnezzar, had the gar
dens built to please her. ~.N

CHARITY
May Get the Bulk Of the
Sage Millions - Busi-
ness at Office Goes On
as Usual.

New York, July 23.--Rumors that
the bulk of the fortune of Russell
Sage estimated at $100,000,000 will go
to charity were so persistently circu-
lated in Wall street today that they
were looked upon as. having basis
of fact They were fathered by men
who were associated in business with
Mr.. Sage for many years.
So far as could be ascertaired, how
ever, the idea that charity would be
extensively remembered in the distri-
button of the Sage millions rests alb.
solutely' upon the well known char
table disposition of the widow.
Mrs. Sage's charities, while unos-
tentatious, have been wide and bene-
fetal. 1t is believed that she inter
ested her husband in many of the
propects which she and Miss Helen
Gould have helped.
The generally accepted forecast of
the Sage will was that Mrs. Sage will
have the handling of a great sum to
be expended in charity, while the 9th.
er executors will be empowered to
carry on the business and attend to
other bequests. On this point Henry
Clews, friend of Mr.. Sage of long
standing, said today;
"Mr. Sage's death removes the last
of the old time financial giants.
think his estate will measure up to
$75,000,00O and may even go as high
as $1O0,000,000. This will found to
be we'll and carefully invested as fol
many years he had been preparing for
the end, and each year added to- his
financial wisdom and sagacity."
Although the body of Mr.. Sage re
posed in a darkened room at the Sage
country home at Lawrence, l.. l., bus
mess at his Office in Nassau street
went on as usual. The death of the
f1nancier made no difference in the
conduct of his affairs.

of common pleas against his wife,
Kate Abe.
The couple was married according
to the allegation of the husbands pc
tition at Canton on the 22nd day of
April, 1893, and that as the fruit OF
such marriage one child named Will
liam and aged IL years was born.
He also alleges that his wife has
been willfully absent from him for
more than three years and wholly dis
! regarded all marital duties. That on
the 18th day of June, 1895, while
living in Canton she left him and
that shortly thereafter she entered a
house of ill-fame on West Tuscarawas
street in Canton and while there COM
mitted adultery with divers persons
and that most of the time since she
left him he says she has been living in
a, house of prostitution
For the reasons alleged he asks for
a divorce and that the court bar her
! from any dover or other interest in
his property and for such other and
| further relief as the court may think
proper and just under the circum-
stances. A. H. Elliott, attorney for
plaintiff.

In his petition he says that on the
10th day of May, 1896, at Canton he
was married and that no children

ALLEGED DYE MURDERERS
ARE LIKELY TO Be CONVICTED
Henous Crime They Are Accused of May Secure
Severe Penalty for Youthful Trio Who Caused
Death of 0rviIIe Lad.

Orrville Courier:-Harry White, VIII
liam Everhart and Allen Miller. the
three boys now confined at the county
Jail charged with the murder of Thorn
as Dye. the Orrville boy, il they are
indicted and convicted, will probably
serve short term sentences in the ohio
penitentiary. II is not believed by
those who have studied the case that
any of the trio will die in the electric
chair. The extreme youth of the boys.
and the fact that it will appear that
all we're intoxicated when the crime
was committed, will plead for mercy
both to the court and the jury.
Although it is now believed that
Everhart is the most guilty one OF
the trio, the other two boys will not
be excused from suffering with him
IL he Is proven guilty. According to
statements made by attorneys con-
nected with the case, the three boys
cannot be separated from the respea-
sibility which each will be obliged to
assume in conjunction with the other
in the commission of the murder.
The accident phase of the case will
be presented with considerable force
and confidence by attorneys for the
boys when the case comes to trial
But excuse for the act which this
theory might afford, will be lessened
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-07-27

by the claim that the state will make
that even admitting the possibility of
the bullet being fired for the purpose
of only frightening Dye, yet the fatal
result of the shot shows that it was
fired towards him, when he was
doubtless running away, with a reck-
lessness OF the outcome on the part
of the boys which makes the act al
most equal to an intentional act of
murder. & a
But the state will not by any means
admit an accident, unless they are
forced to.
Prosecuting Attorney Carlin is sure
of his case against the boys. He is
also sure of convicting them, but
cannot hope to overcome the senti-
ment of pity which their extreme
youth and other conditions named may
call forth.
1t may be difficult matter to i'm
panel a jury that is satisfactory
Sentiment in and around Orrville has
been very fierce against the boys and
in Wayne county generally, the feel
ing has gradually grown to fixed
thought against the murderers of Dye
and if it is shown clearly that the
three prisoners are the guilty ones
even sympathy for their youth may
not work very mucn in their favor.

HOW THE AKIN LAW
HITS THE BREWERY
Financial Statement of the Stark-Tus
carawas sccmpany--toss But 4
Little FROM New Law.

The k-Tuscarawas Breweries'
Company has issued its financial state
ment for the first six months of 1906.
Included in the report is statement
of the company's business for the six
weeks ending June 80, the first six
weeks under the Akin law, and from
this statement the effect the law had
on the company may be learned. A
dispatch gives the following report:
For the six months the company re.
ports surplus earnings over all fixed
charges and expenses of $554,798, an
increase of $16,713 over the same per
iod of 1905. The surplus earnings for
the six weeks ending June 80 were
s20.018, against $20.294 for the same
period of last year, or a decrease OF
t276. However, the gross earnings
Tor this ssame time show an increase
of about $4,000 over the same period
of last year. The loss to the Stark
Tuscarawas is probably less than to
any other of the combines, as it has
little saloon property, and hence was
not hit nearly so hard by the passage
of the law.
