OR DEATH
DESIRED BY PATRICK
Appeal Taken to Supreme
Court in Rice Case.

New York, Nov. 9.-To argue before
the United States supreme court
motion to advance the appeal to that
court in the case of Albert T. Patrick,
convicted of the murder of William
Marsh Rice in this city eight years
ago, William l.. Mcdonald, attorney
for Patrick, departed last night for
Washington. The motion was expect
ed to come today, when Patrick's
counsel says he also will ask the SUI
preme court for writ of habea corpus
for the production of Patrick in Wash
ington in order that he may argue his
case himself. The appeal in the case
is from a decision of the United
states district court. holding Patrick's
Imprisonment constitutional.
Patrick's appeal to the United
States court is to declare illegal the
Communication granted him by Governor
Higgins, whereby his sentence to die
in the electric chair was changed to
Imprisonment for life. Patrick pre-
pared the appeal to the federal court
here and in it he made the point that
life Imprisonment was a much sever
er sentence than that which condemn
ed him to die; that Governor Higgins
exceeded his constitutional powers
when he changed the sentence, despite
the protests of the defendant and that
he (Patrick) should either be electro
cuted or given his freedom.

There will be more than the usual
number of new democrats in the

BUILDINGS IN MINIATURE.
Architects often Make Clay Models
of Important Structures.


of Important Structures.
Although the architect is still the
most important person in the planning
If any big public or private building, he
often depends on the model maker and
not the craftsman to show his patron
lust how the structure will look when
completed The model maker, in other
words, takes the architects drawings
and makes an exact counterpart OF the
building on small scale in clay.
When a theater is to be constructed,
for example, such model is made with
the greatest minuteness, and every de-
tail is looked at from the point of view
Of the stage, thus avoiding the posi-
bility that when it is too late some of
the seats will be found quite out of
range of the performance. In other
buildings architectural details that APP
pear excellent on paper are thus some
times discovered to be inharmonious
with the character Of the structure as
a whole and can be changed before the
actual process of their construction has
started. BY the use Of models, in fact,
nothing is left to chance and every
body can express his objections before
the work is too far advanced to make
the necessary changes seriously expen-
Siye.

FORCED THE PLAY.
Career Of a Tragedy Written by The
Great Napoleon.

Career Of a Tragedy Written by the
Great Napoleon.
The Scene Illustrate of Rome tells
this story of the first Napoleon as q
dramatic writer. He had seen a per-
Torrance of 1.-The Cid" which i'm
pressed him so forcibly that he de-
cided to write classic drama. Within
short time he had finished nearly
four acts of play, which he entitled
Hector" Then came his election as a
brigadier general, and the manuscript
was thrown into a desk, where he
found it again by chance in 1905. Ma
poleon then sent for Luce de Lancival,
gave him the manuscript and directed
him to finish the play. This was done
but the players refused to accept it.
When Napoleon returned to Paris from
the coronation at Naples he learned of
the contemptuous manner in which his
work had been treated. He demanded
the manuscript and wrote across it.:
''The players Of the Coincide Fran
caise will produce the tragedy which
in their stupidity they rejected. Napo-
leon" Two hours later the work was
accepted. In three weeks It was pro-
duced before brilliant audience, de-
clared a success, and the alleged au-
thor was decorated with the grand
cross of the Legion of Honor.

The Voyder.

The voyder was large dish in
which were collected the broken Wet
uals which were removed from the
table with a large knife with a broad,
fat blade, called the voyder knife,
from WIDER, to empty, clear or make
void.
THE Boke of Nurture" by Hugh
Rhodes, the date of which is 1877, one
of the curious set of handbooks of
manners and etiquette reproduced by
the Early English Text society, speaks
Of these vessels as follows: "See We
have voyders ready for to void the
morsels that they doe leave on their
trenchers. Then with your trencher
knyfe take off such fragments and put
them in your voyder and then settle
them downe cleane agayne."

large brass voyders or dishes which
have probably been so used may still
be seen, of the history Of which moth

A CHILD'S HEROISM.
The Story Of Visit to the Beautiful

The Story Of Visit to the Beautiful

A pathetic.st story of a child's heroisln
is told by Dublin gentleman. Re
Gently he proposed to drive with his
wife to the beautiful Glasnevin ceme-
terry. Calling his son, bright little
boy. some four years old, he told him
to get ready to accompany them. The
childs countenance fell, and the IA
Their said:
Don't you want to go, Willie?"
The little lip quivered. but the child
answered, Yes. papa, If you wish"
The child was strangely sileik during
the drive, and when the Carriage drove
up to the entrance he chung to his
mothers side and looked up in her
face with pathetic wistfulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
Swallowed avenues, looking at the in
scriptions on the last resting places Of
the jewellers in the beautiful city Of
the dead. After an hour or SO thus
spent they returned to the carriage,
and the father lifted his little son to
his seat. The child looked surprised.

"Why, am I going back with you?

Types Of Female Beauty.

In northern Europe. among the Teu-
tonic races, there are distinct types of
beauty to be met with in Sweden, Po-
land, Saxony and Austria The Swed-
ish type, however, lacks animation, but
the mold and> figure to some extent
atone for this. says the London Globe
The Austrian women possess a COM
posite beauty in which are united the
charms Of three or four races. Vienna
ladies are tall and stately. with great
harmony and proportion in feature and
figure. The Tyrolese maiden often
lacks good figure, but her face and
manner possess all that is most be-
witching In the two races of which she
is composed, Latin and Germanic.

ROOSEVELT IS UNFIT
Chancellor Day Says He Is Not
The Man for Harvard
Presidency.
BELIEVES IN ROCKEFELLER

Boston, Nov. 9.-Chancellor James
r. Day, OF the Syracuse university, be-
f0re sailing Sunday with his wife and
daughter for an eight months tour of
the globe, said that President Roose-
welt was not fit to be at the head of
Harvard university.
He said that the letters written by
John d. Archbold to Senator Foraker
and other national legislators, made
public during the recent campaign by
William Randolph Hearst. were per-
fectly proper and that any business
man had a right to influence legisla-
ton.
Il thoroughly believe in the SINGER
fly Of Mr.. Rockefeller" said the Chan
cellor.
Il believe that Mr.. Rockefeller de-
clarsd himself honestly. I know of no
reason why his sincerity should be
called In question. In fact, to call his
sincerity In question and to represent
him as indulging in political trick in
dicates one of the two lamentable con-
ditions in this country.
80 they are trying to find sue
cessor to President Elicit. of Harvard
university, are they? And they are
speaking Of Theodore Roosevelt for
the place? Well, when they find a
man who is diplomat, who can give
to the world many great thoughts,
who can control an educational institu-
ton on the plane of Harvard, and who
can sway the people of the country
without buster, then they will have a
worthy successor to President Eliot.
"All of these qualities are found in
the president of Harvard university.
Theodore Roosevelt is not that kind of
a man.

expectancy by two life insurance COM
panies. Both of these companies car
ried line of accident insurance with
the doctor as the risk. His death
followed a fall down stairs and the
question is whether it was injury from
the fall or apoplexy that brought his
end. The insurance companies have
had representatives making investiga-
lions and an autopsy was held on the
body If death were due to apoplexy
the insurance companies would avoid
payment upon the accident policies.

A PERILOUS FEAT.
casins Savage Hippopotamus In the
London Zoo.

IOn0oh Zoo.
Many more little dramas are enact
ed at the zoo than the outside public
wots of. says the London Standard.
Behind the lion house there is a black
leopardess which is implacably saw
age and tries to eat her keeper. her
neighbor is a great romping leopard
which a lddy reared in India. He
comes out to play when the British
public is represented by only a iv-
cried ZOO man. Sometimes the ami
mails get out without the consent of
sheir keepers. One which did 80 was
Obash, the hippopotamus. He proved
a savage indeed when the attempt was
made to deprive him of his liberty.
Happily the gardens were closed at
the time. Try as they would, the
keepers could not entice or coerce
the monster in the direction of his
den. At last the superintendent called
up an assistant whom the hippopota
mus hated. The chief put bank note
into the mans hand. Scott" he said,
throw open the paddock gate, show
yourself to Obash, then run for It."
Scott did. The animal went for him,
raging along the path and after him
into the paddock. Scott climbed the
ratings just in time, and the hippo
potamus on turning found the gate
secured behind it. Presently a press
representative arrived to investigate
the story, which had somehow be-
come known. 'Hippopotamus escap-
ed? Oh, dear no! Come and see him
in his den." he was answered as they
led him to where the monster was re-
Gagged.
