TERRIBLE SCENE
Enacted at a Triple Execution In West
 ern Australia.

From the London Globe.
 Advices by the Australian mail give details of a terrible scene which occur red at A triple execution at Fremantle, Western Australia.
 A Jewish commercial trayeler, named Mark Leibglid, formerly of London, was at A place called Broome, in the north west. and was decoyed on board a pearl lugger lying off the shore at night on the pretense of being shown valuable pearl which was for sale. When on board Leibglid, who had a large sum of money in his possession. was brutally murdered and thrown into the sea- Charles Hagen, Norwegian, and two natives of Manila, men named Espada and Marquez. were found guilty of the crime and sentenced to death.
 Hagen was the first man brought out for execution. He delivered a speech which lasted a quarter of an hour, as serting his innocence. Death in his case was instantaneous. The two na- tives were then brought from the con demned cell with a priest in close at tendance.
 When the condemned men had reached the galloWs they engaged In an angry altercataion as to their guilt, and this continued while tke nooses were being placed around their necks. The executioner at ,.4fs stage appeared to lose his presence of mind. and made no effort to check Espada when the latter made an effort to grasp the rope in his manacled hands.
 The poor wretch strove desperately to get a grip on the rope above his head with the apparent object of say ing his neck. When the lever was pulled Espada's hands were forcibly unclasped by the warders and the lever moved.
 Just before the trapdoor fell Espada made final but unsuccessful attempt to catch the rope in his hands.
 Chief Warder Webster, who had been standing with one foot on the trapdoor. fell into the pit with the condemned men when the door was released. Web ster fell on his head and sustained severe injuries. The hangman was ter ribly affected by the incident and cried like a child.

 Off the stage, Sarah has been start ling, sensational, intense. Impossible to escape her. Scare heads" in the daily prints were as much in demand for Sarah off the stage as for Sarah on it. When she used to go up in bal loon; when she loved to be photo. graphed in her coffin; when duels were fought on the subject of her Hamlet; when she got herself crowned immor- tal-when she did this, and when she did that, Sarah was always acting. l. is easier to be a successful actress on the stage than off it. Sarah has been an electric success in both styles.
 Has Sarah selected any mature roles to portray? Not bit of 1t. She has given us the Lady of the Camellias, an imperonation identified with her youth, the vitriolic Tosca, the ardent Fedora, the elusive Mazda, the beauti. full Adrienne and the willful siren of La Femme de Claude" No old women for Sarah.

BERNHARDT ALWAYS DIES.
Prefers to Let You Go Home With
 Nothing to Imagine.

Alan Dale in the March Cosmopolitan.
 Sarah Bernhardt, throughout her as founding career, has died in all styles. She has jumped into river and ended; she has been extinguished by poisons; she has succumbed to tuberculosis; she has been shot to kingdom come. She has rarely elected to survive in any of her plays. The idea of living happily ever afterward has invariably been repulsive to her. It was her joy to dismiss her audience with the mo- tion that she was dead, and that there was nothing further to finger for.
 In all her dramatic flights Sarah has courted death. There is an artistic side to this, of course. In plays that end happily you can imagine anything you like. The hero and heroine are usually at the wedding point. In real life this is ofen where the trouble germ sprouts. On the stage it Is where the trouble germ ends. Sarah preferred to let you go home with nothing to i'm agine. She was dead, and that was the end of the heroine and her play
 The remarkable thing about this woman. who would have been great in whatever line she had selected, is that she has no other life than that of the stage. There has been no private Sarah. She has invariably belonged to the public She has acted as much of the stage as on it. She has acted for forty-five years consistently. There has

UP-To-DATE UNDERTAKER.
Great Changes Latter Days Have
 Brought In Ancient Industry.

From the New York Sun.
 There was a time," said the under taker when everything about the nn- dertaking business was pretty solemn and sombre. In those days we had no such things as burial caskets, but everybody was buried in a coffin, and there wasn't much variety in coffins.
 "We did make them of mahogany and of oak, to be sure, as well as Of pine, but a coffin was a coffin, what ever you made it of, and it was uni versal symbol of death.
 "It had the accumulated terror of ages about it, and 1t was something that the living going about their busf- ness didn't want to see.
 "Now it's different Fully three quarters of the people that die now in cities are buried not in collins, but In burial caskets, which are as different from the ancient coffin as it is possible for them to be. Seriously, regard the inventor of the modern burial casket as a benefactor of his race. He has at least robbed the grave of some of its terror.
 "In the old days the cabinet maker very likely combined undertaking with his cabinet business, and made collins in his back shop. Now in cities few undertakers make their own coffins. and all the caskets are made in great factories, equipped with modern ma chinery."
 There are carved caskets of fine wood, caskets of aluminium, caskets xutth ar, bossed velvet.
 "In old times coffins were sometimes made to order for individual require ments, but commonly stock of collins was kept on hand. and these the under taker might keep stored on shelves or displayed standing on end in a row be- hind the glass doors of tall vertical showcase along one side of his show room. You might still find such dis play as this, but not often.
 AS a rule now, the burial recept- acles that the undertaken keeps in his showroom are mostly, if not altogether, caskets. They might be contained in cabinets, or they might be secured, in vertical position, to the backs of pan. els running continuously along tho side of the room, and forming, to the eye, a continuous high panelling. Each of these panels, with casket attached to it is so pivoted and balanced that without effort it can be pulled forward and down into a horizontal position for the display of the casket at a convent ent height from the floor
 "When the member of the family or the friend commissioned for this serv- ice comes to select a casket, the under taker can show caskets in various styles, and if he has not, even in his varied stock, a casket precisely such as may be required he may sell one from the illustrated catalogue of the manufacturer, or he may take the pur- chaser to the warerooms of the manu- facturer to select from the all but end less variety of caskets there to be found.
 "All this is very different from the old-time ways.
 gro come back for moment to the undertakers' window displays of which we were speaking, we may now see occasionally in them newer and later feature in displays of burial robes, and the robes thus shown may be both costly and beautiful. Such robes and garments have largely supplanted the old-time shroud.

Washington February 23.-Representa- tives of the National German American alliance one of the great German or ganizations of this country, called on the President today to protest against the Hepburn-Dol bill now pending be- fore Congress. The measure is practi- cally a federal recognition of prohibition. The delegation was headed by former Sheriff Edward J. Tamsen and A. Arans of New York. Members of the party heretofore have appeared before the ju- dietary committee of the house in oppos- sition to the bill.
 MT. Tamsen explained that the National German-American alliance was in the agreements of rights of American citizens. We feel" said he. that the consti- tuition gives man the right to order whatever he may want in one state and have 1t delivered to another state with out interference. Any law which abridges this right will be fought bitterly by German Americans"

 At a public assembly of the Academy of Medicine the result of the work of Dr. Jacobs in cancer research was an- nounced by Prof. von Ermenghem, who declared that cancer had now been proved conclusively to be of bacterial origin. pr. Jacobs concludes that the treatment must be vaccination. He declares that the treat ment of the disease has ceased to be blind experiment and has entered tn scientific domain and Is becoming positive.
 He asserts that by a long series of experiments on the composition Of blood he found the laws governing the ad- ,minlstration of cancer serum, which is derived from the cancer mierobe itself The serum must never be applied except by the most expert hands.
