LAUGHS AT GALLONS.
Slayer of Nearly Entire Family to be
Hanged.

l
Hanged
Chicago, Mar. 14.-Six days
lex Bohemian fortune-teller hypno-
fist, necromancer, dispenser of
/ charms and potions, reputed among
mis- countrymen to be the possessor
| of an EVIL eye" and convicted by
the courts as one of the most heart
less arch-assassins of the age, will
be hanged by the neck until dead
UNLESS
Unless the confession of 1S-year-
old Jaroslav Vrzal, who escaped the
/ tragic fate of nearly all the other
members of the Vrzal family and
whose testimony was the main fac
tor in convicting Bilek, now serves
to save the Bohemian from the hang
man. In an affidavit, young Vrzal not
only admits that his testimony was
pure perjury, but he declares that
two of his relatives also lied
The Supreme Court has affirmed
the verdict of death, but it is likely
that Governor Deneen will intervene
to prevent, at least, the immediate
execution of the sentence.
III his cell, Bilek chuckles gleeful-
ly, declaring that he is innocent and
that he is now certain that he will be
acquitted and set free
That Bilek is apparently certain
to be saved from his impending
doom is due mainly to the work of
Catholic sister and a priest That the
beady-eyed, unkempt, repulsive for
Itune-teller should have been able to
arouse the interest and compassion
of the gentle sister of charity and
the learned priest and caused them
to work unremittedly to save him
from the gallows, is in itself one of
the most remarkable phases of the
remarkable influence exerted by BIZ
lex
Young Vrzal's confession was
obtained mainly through the instru-
mentality of the Rev Father OCal-
laghan, head of the Paulist Fathers
in Chicago, and Sister Rose, of the
Italian Order of the Missionary
Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
How the Vrzal Family Died.
Following are the deaths in the
Vrzal family, all resulting apparent
y from the same cause, that lead to
the arrest, trial and conviction of the
Bohemian fortune-teller, Herman
Bilek, on suspicion that he either adj
ministered the deadly poison, or,
by exercise of his hypnotic influence
on Mrs. Vrzal, caused her to kill her
husband and four children and then
commit suicide:
Martin Vrzal, father, AZ years old,
died March 81 1905.
Mary, % years old, died March
1905.
Title, 20 years old, died Dec. %,

Rose, Is years old, died Aug 26, |

A Smooth Worker.

The police and detectives of the

cashier a IS bill with two 81 bills

Patty Making Pics.

Ah me-! what recollcctions swarm
Along the path Of life!
What dear remembranccs attach
To sweetheart and to wife!
The stream Of Time that wanders on
With it's resistlcSS flow.
From Memory can n"'er "tfacc
Some scenes or long ago. '"
Methinks I'm gazing one" nGnin
Into Il kitchen old:
Tho clapboard roofs AS dear to me
AS though 'twerc one Of gold.
No furniture of modern shape
Rewards my eager eyes:
And there before the tabI. stands
Fair Patty, making pics.
Eow lovely. in her gngham gown.
How sof, her chestnut hair!
How roseate her shapcly nrIn*.
Unto the elbows bare!
There's a grace in every ,nnvr she
makes,
There's laughter in her cyc::
And merry music in tho way
She kncads the dough for pies.
The queen whose beauty rules Il .an,1
Is not more fair to see:
There may be worth in royal blood.
But there is none to me-
My matchless queen of other days
(How rapidly time fliesD
Is she who won my boyish heart
The while she made the pics.
The grandest picture ] can call
Back from the vanished Past
The fairest scene my memory holds
Il know twill always last,)
Is that old kitchen which today
In utter ruin lies,
And Patty at the kneading board
Engaged in making pies.
She makes them yet though years
three-score
Have shed their joys for me,
And side by side, two lovers still,
We sail life's sunlit sea;
And merry little children come
With laughter in their eyes,
And sit around our board and praise
Their grandma Patty's pies.

Power Of tho pre.s.

In a recent address in Chicago. Bish-
op Muldoon spoke as follows of the
power of the press:
THE press and the newspapers in
general are today the greatest power
for good as we'll as for evil. Tho poll
tician today uses tho press. the doctor
uses the press. the business man lSes
the press and the churchman uses th,
press. 1t is the greatest force for good
and it is also the greatest force for evil
in what it teaches. what it announces.
When it is the champion of truth. JUS
tice. right and morality it is power
for good. When it spreads the d.
structive teachings Of socialism. when
II breaches falsehoods. when its writ
ers urge that which they themselves
do not believe. and which they know
is falso and untrue. then it is a power
OF evil"

But there came night, with desolale
blight.
When death bore my idol away,
And no little toe ever peeps from the
shoe.
To be kissed in the same old way.
But my tears have deluged the little
pink shoe,
And stained it a deeper stain:
And l long for the touch that would
chill nc in death.
If it gave me my darling again.
So, when l am dead, lay the little pink
shoe
Near my heart that is silent and
cold.
And perhaps up above. in the sun
shine of love.
I shall kiss the pink toe as of old.

Relation Of tho Presidents.

Washington was a member Of the
Church Of England. Madison. Monroe.
William Henry Harrison, Taylor and
Arthur were Episcopalians. jefferson
and Fillmore were Unitarians. Benja-
min Harrison was an active Presbyter-
ian. jackson and Cleveland attended
the Presbyterian church. and Jackson
united with that church some time af-
ter he retired from the presidency
Mckinley was q lifelong Methodist.
Polk became a member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. South, shortly
before his death. Hayes was life
long attendant upon the Methodist
church Van Buren was member Of
the Dutch Reformed church. and Roos-
cvelt is member OF the same church
johnson was member OF. no church
and apparently was in sympathy with
rone. i3.S@
AS will be seen from the foregoing,
men Of different creeds have been
elected president, but no avowed athe-
i.t or fnhdel has held that high office.
It has been asserted that Jefferson,
Madison and Lincoln. were atheists or
infidels. This. however. was not the
case. Jefferson and Madison: were
both strongly opposed to the state
church Of their early days and were
strong in their advocacy Of complete
separation of church and state. Lin
coin was for many years what might
have been termed an agnostic. He
was, however, all his lifetime stu
dent of the Bible, and in his later
years. especially after the death Of hts
son Willie, he was evidently devoutly
religious at heart. He never united
with any church, th9pGh h. a*ta~d,d
the Presbyterian church more or less
