FIVE YEARS FOR GRACE ALLEN.
ke4reSs Who Robbed GeOr3e fieatoa
Gets Severe Sentence.
From Wednesdays Star.

FROM wednesday 3 star.
Five long, weary years must pass
before Grace Allen steps from the
doors of the state penitentiary a free
woman. Dear was the price she paid
for the momentary fondling of George
Heaton's purse, and the jury was not
long in finding her guilty of larceny
from the person. Her trial occurred
some weeks ago and Judge Holmes
this morning imposed the sentence.
Grace is n colored girl, tall and will
lowy. During fair week, she is charged
with having enticed George Heaton, a
venerable man from Red Cloud, into
an alley, where she took his purse.
Mr.. Heaton saw her receding figure
and started in pursuit, racing through
the crowded streets while they were
at their fullest. He captured her and
chung to her firmly until the arrival of
the police.
! In police conrt the woman pleaded
that she was in company with her
bosom friend, Viola May, who had
done whatever wrong there was. Viola
started to run, and Grace thought the
police were coming and likewise ran.
That Mr.. Heaton captured her instead
of the real guilty person was an acct
dent, she declared.
The usual storm of tears followed
the sentence of the court. Storms of
tears are frequent with Miss Allen,
whose sorrowful eyes drip every time
she is arrested or receives a sentence
for crime. Her visit to the p~eniten-
tiary this time will be like a visit
home-she has served previously be-
hind the big gray wall.

PRESIDENT WRITES
 TO CUBAN MINISTER
(continued from First Page)


 can people, the staunchest friends and we'll wishers of Cuba, that there are in all the world, will be taken as it is meant, will be seriously considered and will be acted upon, and if so acted up- on Cuba's permanent independence her permanent success as a republic, are assured
 Under the treaty with your govern ment, l as president of the United States, have a duty in this matter which I cannot shirk. The third article of that treaty explicitly confers upon the United States the right to inter- fere for the maintenance in Cuba of a government adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty. The treaty comforting this right is the supreme law of the land, and furnishes me with the right and the means of fulfilling the obligation that am un- der to protect American interests. The information at hand shows that the so- cial bonds throughout the island have been so relaxed that life, property and individual liberty are no longer safe. have received authentic information of injury to, and destruction of, Amer ican property. It is, in my judgment, imperative for the sake of Cuba that there shall be an immediate cessation of hostilities, and some arrangement which will secure the permanent pac- ification of the island. I am sending to Havana the secre- tary of war, MT. Taft, and the assist ant secretary of state, MT Bacon, as the special representatives of this gov ernment, who will render such aid as is possible toward those ends. l had hoped that Mr Root, the secretary of state, could have stopped in Havana on his return from South America, but the seeming imminence of the crisis for bids further delay.
 Through you 1 desire in this way to communicate with the Cuban govern ment and with the Cuban people, and accordingly am sending you copy of this letter to be presented to President Palma and have also directed it's inn mediate publication.
 Sincerely yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt. Senor Don Gonzalo da Quesada,
 The Cuban Minister.

MARVELLOUS ADVENTURE.

Man Blown Two Hundred Feet Into
 the Air and Escaped Unhurt
 Theodore Thornton, of Mentonne, lived to the age of thirty-fve years without ever having had an accident of any kind, or a days sickness, or any incident in his life that could reasona- ply be called an adventure.
 He was coming into town out in the country with load of hay, and be- meath the hay, on the hayrack, he had box of tools belonging to a man who had been getting out stumps and doing other work on the farm. There was a lot of dynamite in the box, but Thorn ton did not know this. He thought it was tools only. When passing over an obstruction the dynamite exploded be- meath the hay and, without injuring Thornton at all blew him up into the tir fully two hundred feet.
 Thornton did not expect to escape with his life, but as he was about to stop going up he saw immediately above him the glitter of silk and span gles which adorned the body and limbs of Mile. Clarisette, the famous aero- naut, who was just then descending at that place on her parachute from an ascension she had made in a hot-air balloon for the entertainment of the people at the Mentonne street fair.
 Mile. Clarisette also saw that she and Thornton were going to meet in midair, and she shouted to him to keep away and not take hold of the parachute, for It would not carry double, but when they had just about come together, and when Thornton felt that his upward flight was over and that he was about to start down again, he reached up his hands to catch hold of the bar, Mile. Clarisette kicked vigorously at him to keep away.
 Thornton, however, had not time for politeness, and, catching the lady by one of her feet, he held on for dear life, pulling her off the trapeze bar and So for down below it that she was holding on with her hands and thus supporting them both while the parachute shot wown with dangerous swiftness the air whistling shrilly through the center opening.
 The hay had caught fire from the ex- plosion, and a huge volume of black smoke was rising like a tower into the sky, and into this cloud Thornton and the aeronaut settled and disappeared; but they had no sooner done so, the shrill French shrieks of Mile, Claris- sette sounding far over the surround ing country, than the parachute also reached the ascending current of hot air and was lifted again, waited away to one side and immediately settled with It's double burden in the rushing river below the bridge and only a few rods above the falls.
 The swift current caught them and hurried them onward toward the dead ly plunge on to the rocks below. all their desperate struggles to stem the tide being of no avail, and then over the brink they went; but just here the parachute, to which they both had clung came into play again and, buoy ing them up in the fall, lowered them safely Into the foaming pool below, from which they were soon rescued by, men in boats.-Lesueur (Minn) Corres- .pondenee of the St. Louis Republic

JESSIE MAE HALL.

Among many other things which the American stage can boast is the small est woman, not a midget, who is at the same time one of the cleverest actress es and singers of this country. She is Miss Jessie Mae Hall, who stands only four feet eight inches in her tiny shoes, which are so small that there is no ready-made size that will fit her. and who uses child's flye-anda-half glove
 This would be remarkable in itself, but when this is coupled with the abil- ity to act, and with the still more re- markable possession of voice capable of singing three full octaves to l. above high c, it almost stretches the imagina- tion to appreciate 1t.
 Miss Jessie Mae Hall will be seen in "A Southern Vendetta at the New Ha- ven theater September 20, 21 and p.

MORE SEWERS ASKED FOR.

Several Petitions Heard at Meeting of
 Aldermanic Committee.
 The aldermanic committee on sewers and squares held a public hearing in city hall last evening. Several petitions for new sewers were heard. All of these are in growing sections of the city and the present cesspool arrange ments are unsatisfactory. There was no opposition to any of the petitions. There was no one present to support the petition of J. Johnson x Sons for the encouragement of the sewer sys- tenn at the corner of Church and Chap el streets,
