stories of crime that are told of him
are true, was one of the greatest
criminals this country has ever known,
was hanged in the county Jail Friday
for poisoning his wife, Marie Welcker
Hoch.
He faced death with a prayer on his
lips for the officers of the law VINO
took his life, and save for the words
Good bye" his last uttcrancc was an
assertion that he was innocent of the
crime for which he p:id the extreme
penalty of the law.
The last scene in the career of Hoch
came at 1:34 p. m, while his attorneys
We're still making desperate efforts for
little more time on earth for him.
His death, the lawyers say, has not
ended the appeal that was made in his
behalf, and although the man himself
is dead they rromise to carry the case
TO the supreme court of the United
State
AS soon as it was known that the
application for the writ of habeas cor
pus had been denied by Judge Lands,
preparations were commenced at the
Jail for the execution of Hoch. At
;32 o'clock Hoch stepped on the drop,
beneath the cross beams. His face
was pale. but his manner was compos-
ed and his courage unsurpassed.
His last words were: Father, for
give them, they know not what they
do. | must die, an innocent man.
Goodbye"
He bit off the last two words in
crisp, incisive fashion and just as soon
as he had uttered them the drop fell.
DR.. Mcnamara was at Hochs side
the instant he fell and declared that
death had been instantaneous, the neck
having been broken.
The body of Hoch was given to
local undertaken, who buried it at his
own expense.
Hcch, after being placed in Jail
here, admitted that he had been mar
ried 13 times, but always denied that
he had caused the death of any of his
wives.

Blessed with Sunshine
on Wedding Day.
A GRAND AFFAIR.
A Host of Celebrities Attended the
Wedding of Alice Roosevelt and
Congressman LOngwOrth.

Washington, Feb 19.-With a plain
-circlet of virgin gold, in the historic
east room of the White House, at
1913 o'clock Saturday, Alice Lee
Roosevelt, eldest daughter of the
president of the United States, and
Nicholas Longworth, the representa-
tive in congress from the First district
of Ohio, were united in marriage.
The ceremOny-one of the most i'm
pressive ever performed in the eXecu-
tive mansion-was according to the
ritual of the Protestant Episcopal
church, of which the bride is a mem
Der. 1t was solemnized by Rt. Rev.
Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop of Wash
ington, and was attended by all the
state of grand official function and
by the devotional beauty of a cathe-
dral service.
No ceremony of a similar kind ever
was witnessed by a more distinguish
ed assemblage. There were present as
guests not only the most eminent rep
resentatives of our government, but
the personal missioners of the kings
and potentates of the powers of the
civilized world, constituting an as
-semblage not only one of the largest,
but the most distinguished that ever
was gathered at one time in the White
House.
halo of a hundred years of ro-
mantle White House history hung
over the bridal couple. Miss Roose-
welt was the twelfth bride, according
to accepted authorities, to plight her
troth within its walls and the identical
spot where she joined hands with the
husband of her choice, "for better, for
worse" is hallowed in the memory of
another White House bride, Nellie
Grant, who 50 years ago on that same
spot became the wife of an English
man, AlgernOn SartOris. Tender, in
deed, must have been the recollections
of Mrs. SartOris of that day, now long
ago, for she was one of the witnesses
of Miss Roosevelt's wedding.
While the bride and President and
Mrs. Roosevelt had desired that the
ceremony of the marriage should be
as simple as possible, it was found i'm
practicable 10 limit the function, as
was intended at first, to the immediate
relatives of the bride and groom. 1t
became necessary to include among
the guests invited certain official
classes and personal friends of Miss
Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth and, in
all, the people bidden to the ceremony
numbered thousand.
The ceremony took place in the east
room, made famous by a century of
brilliant social functions, but no event
in its history ever was so brilliant and
beautiful as this. The classic splendor
of the great apartment was enhanced
by exquisite and artistic decorations
and the brilliant sunlight of a gorge
Gus day lent added beauty to the set
ting of the wedding.
1t had been intended to light the
magnificent east room with the hun
dreds of softly shaded lamps of the
great crystal chandeliers, but while
artificial lights were utilized through
out the remainder of the White House,
il was determined to flood the mar
riage scene with sunlight.
1t was a beautiful conceit. founded

To Husbands

Always complain of being tired,
and remember that nobody else
gets tired.
Your wife should have every
thing in readiness for you, but you
should not do anything for her.
When your wife asks for money
give her a nickle; ask, her what
she wants with it, and when she
tells you. ask her if she can't do
without it. Then go down town
and spend ten times the amount
for cigars for they are a necessity.
Go down town for an evening,
stand around on the street corners
talk politics; it's more interesting
than to stay at home with your
family.
Charge your wife not to gossip,
but you can spin all the yarns you
wish.
Have your wife get up and make
the fires, but don't get up yourself
until the rest of the family are eat
ing breakfast. as you might take
cold.
Wear old clothes and make your
self as untidy as possible, until
your wife's health begins to fail;
then it would be best for you to
fix up some, for in all probability
you will want another when she is
gone.
Have a emile for everybody you
meet, but get a frown on before you

have taken considerable trouble
to find out how tigers kill large
game, writes an assistant comptrol-
Ter of forests at Perah. Some time
ago 1 was asked to come and see a
full grown bullock that had been
killed by tiger. On examining it
l found the animal had it's neck
broken, and there were claw marks
on the nose and shoulder and no.
where else. There was no doubt
that the tiger had jumped at the
bull and landed on the shoulder,
and when the bull turned his head
to gore the tiger he must have put
his claw ont and with sudden Jerk
broken the neck.
On another occasion went to
see young buffalo which had been
killed by a tiger and found the
same thing had happened. There
were similar marks on the nose and
also on the near shoulder, which
clearly indicated that this animal
had been killed in the same way.
Malays who have actually seen a
tiger killing a buffalo told me they
saw the same thing happen; also
that in dragging off heavy carcass,
such as buffalo or bull, he gets
most of the weight across his shout
der.
This must be fairly correct, as
have often followed a kill, and the
marks left indicated that only a
portion of the animal was trailing
along the ground. / have known 4
full grown bull which ten men
would not move dragged two miles
by tiger in heavy jungle, where
roots of trees and swamp had to be
gone through In no case have
seen the pug marks facing the
wrong way except when stopping to
feed, which proves he must carry a
portion of the animal over his
shoulder.
The old idea of a tiger killing
large game by blow from his paw
Is nonsense. Besides, in this coun-
try tiger never faces his prey, but
attacks him on the flank, unless
charged. Another curious fact that
may seem very Like a fairy tale Is
that tiger does not seem to mind
small lamb being tied over a kill
about ten feet high, but will come
and feed. I have known three oc-
easions when this has been tried,

THE CROCODILE.
No Other Animal Can Look So Dead
and Be so Much Alive.

No Other Animal Can Look So Dead
and Be go Much Alive.
There is little in the animal king
dom that can look SO dead and be
SO much alive as a crocodile. The
number of unsuspecting persons
who have mistaken him for a log
and have failed to discover their
mistake until it was too late to be
of any benefit to them will never be
known.
In ancient times, several years
prior to the British occupation of
Egypt, some of the people of that
country worshiped the crocodile as
a god, there being nothing else like
him. They fed him on dainties and
logged him ont with jewelry. In
other parts of Egypt, however, the
natives looked upon him as devil.
Having no firearms, they did not
fill him with lead, but they managed
to immediate him successfully with
such weapons as were fashionable
at the time.
The crocodile is not SO numerous
IN the Nile as he was in the DAYS
OF the Rameses family. In fact, he
rather shuns the river now below
the second cataract on account of
the annoyances inseparable from
tourist traffic. 1t seems impossible
for tourist to see crocodile with

yolver, and to reptile that is fond
OF quiet life this sort of thing is
simply insuferabie. He will not

He feeds on fish, but for a course
dinner he would rather have hu-

shows that there is no accounting
for taste even among reptiles. His
