Whether the commutation- of the
death sentence will be brought about
without further hearing on the, part
of witnesses for Patrick, or whether a
commission will be appointed by the
governor to look into the mass Of med
ical and other expert testimony sub
mitted to him recently, has not been
fully determined upon. Governor Hig-
gins, however. will not permit the SEN
tence of the law in Patrick case to
be carried out. -- .-.. ...
Patrick all along has declared that
he did not want to have his sentence
committed to life imprisonment He: has
told his friends and his attorneys that
all he wanted was "iustice,' and if
that was denied him, he would rather
march to the deathchair.
Long Fight for Life.
Patrick has not yet learned Of the
governors decision Patrick's fight
for life is the most@remarkable of it's
kind ever made in this country. No
other person has ever been confined as
long in a deathhouse awaiting execu-
tion as has Patrick For more than
four years and seven months he has
been living within the shadow Of the
electric chair. During that time he has
been present when seventeen other I'M
fOrtunates were taken from their cells
and, marched along the narrow passage
which separated the condemned cell
block from the execution chamber.
For more than four years Patrick has
kept up his fight for his life. Several:
times he has seen the death watch close
in upon him, he has heard the state au-
thorltles as they were testing the cleo
trle current in the room adjoining the
3, one. where, his cell was located. But
during all these trials Patrick has never
permitted himself to be talked into the
idea that the end was really at hand,
but on the contrary has always kept UP
his struggle, and in doing so has sur:
prised his keepers, who :lave come to
look upon his as the most remarkable
murderer ever confined in the Sing
Sing death house. NJ. e.,,,s.<~,+
Denies He Slew Rice. ..-.-
Patrick has maintained from the day
of his arrest that he had nothing to do
with the death of William March Rice,
the Texas multi illionaire, for whose
murder the condemned attorney is now
in the death house. Patrick has
claimed all along that if Mr.. Rice was
killed it was by his former valet,
Charles F. Jones. But Patrick holds
that Rice died natural death and that
> O. ther he nor Jones had anything to-
do with it,
His fight for life has been an expen-
sive one. More than 100000 has Been
spent in the endeavor to save Patrick
from the death chair. The man who
has, stood by Patrick, who has supplied
him with funds with which to carry
on such remarkable battle, is John
Mllliken of st. Louis, Mo-, his brother
in-law.

in conference with the Bay City
Commercial club, which is alert to the
development of the place.
The result of the conference has been
that Kuma has bought for the Japan
ese the Bay City mill and has secured
including practically the entire beach
and point making out into the river, so
familiar to persons in this neighbor-
hood as one of the best fishing points
ION the upper Mississippi.
kuma seems to have been impressed
with the peculiar picturesqueness of the
place, its proximity to the twin cities,
both by rail and water, and its peculiar
adaptab ility to the plans he; evidently
has in mind.
All from Upper Glasses.
The sixteen or seventeen young men
who have already gathered about
Kuma at Bay City and are industri-
ously at. work belong to the upper
classes of Japan. They are finely edu-
Gated, graduates of the best schools of
the empire, while some Of them are also
graduates of American schools. -.
" is understood that Kuma s plans
will bring colony to Bay City, how
many is not known. Current talk
makes the number all the way. from
100 or 200 to 500, but it may be some
time before this number arrives. In
the spring a landscape gardener from
Japan will arrive and lay out the acre
age bought on the river front in true
Japanese style. On this property a
large hotel and many cottages will be
built and every effort made to develop
one OF the most novel summer resorts
In America. 1t is assumed by those
who talk about the matter that many
OF the wealthy Japanese in their trav-
els across the continent will make this
one OF their stopping places. =. :
Factories and Industries Coming.
AS to how much further their plans
extend seems to be largely matter of
conjecture, but it is asserted freely and
openly by different ones whom you meet
that this is probably only the. begin
ming Of their venture and while the talk
is carried on with certain air of mys-
terry, which always lends enchantment,
canning factories, pickle raising and
other industries are mentioned as among
the results sure to follow the establish
ment Of this colony. y.-. r.
colony, backed by am pie financial re-
sources, is already located at Bay City,
that its members are thrifty, intelfi-
|hgent and Industrious. Kuma's silence
in regard to his plans is added evidence
that his' project is a genuine one, en-
tered into in good faith and that it has
behind it much strength. To argue
otherwise would reflect upon the we'll
known astuteness Of the Japanese.
Kuma and his people have been very
cordially received by the villagers,
who have nothing but praise and COM
mendation for their industry and gen
eral demeanor. .. ~

Keen SIGHT Of Birds of Prey.

The ~sharp-eyed hawk can spy a lark
upon a piece of earth almost exactly
the same color at twenty times the
distance 1t is p~erceptible to man or
dog. A kite soaring out Of human
sight can still distinguish and pounce
upon lizards and field mice upon the
ground, and the distance at which vul-
lures and eagles can sight their prey
is almost incredible.
Recent discoveries have inclined
naturalists to the belief that birds of
prey have not the acute sense of smell
or of hearing that has hitherto been
accredited them. Their keen sight
seems better to account for their &C.
ton. and they appear to be guided by
sight alone, as they never sniff at
anything, but dart straight at the OBJ
jeCt of their desire.
Their counterpartS in the ocean
doubtless smell and see. but are more
guided by smell than sight. In both
sharks and rays the eyes are good
and have a distinct expression, though
since they scent their prey from a
short distance and swim up to it with
greatest rapidity, smell may be called
their real eye.

Bio Peanuts This Year,

Peanut lovers have noticed that the
nuts are generally very much larger
this year than usual, a fact which
may be verified by the most casual
glance at any stand where they are
sold. They are also said to be much
better in flavor, though there are
some connoisseurs who declare that
the small nut is the sweeter.
"The increased size of the peanut
now in the market" says a whole
sale dealer, lis due more to improved
methods of cultivation, l think, than
to the accident of favorable weather
conditions, though the current crop
is unusually large in quantity. AS to
the relative merits Of the large and
Small nut, l cannot speak, being "A
fseller and not an eater, of them. /
do know, however, that with these big
fat looking fellows on sale there is
practically no market for the little
