TYBURN TREE.
Lord Ferrers' Tragic Journey to the
Famous Old GaIlows,

Lord Ferrers' Tragic Journey to the
Famous Old GaIIows.
Park lane was Tyburn lane, and it
seems as if the gallows- described In
an old document as movable-at one
time stood at its east corner. 1t was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hung in 1760 for numbering his serv-
ant. Horace Walpole's words paint
the picture well: HE shamed heroes.
He bore the solemnity of d pompohs
and tedious procession of above two
hours from the Tower to Tyburn with
as much tranquility as If he were only
going to his own burial, not to his own
execution" And when one of the
dragons of the procession was thrown
from his horse Lord Ferrers expressed
much concern and said, 81 hope there
will be no death today but mine"
On went the procession, with mob
about it sufficient to make it's progress
slow and laborious. Small wonder that
the age Of Thackeray, with Thack-
eray's help, set up its scaffolds within
four high walls. Asking for drink,

Government Proposes Giving
$40 Acres to Home.
SteaderS
This, However, Does Not Go
on Any But Semi.
Arid Lands

Washington, D.. c., March 1S.-
The house committee on public lands
today agreed to report favorably the
bill introduced by Mr.. Mondell of
Wyoming, to increase from 16O to
800 acres, the amount of non-tim-
bered lands taxable under the home
stead act. The bill provides, how
ever, that continuous residence must
be had on the homestead for five
consecutive years, and requires GER
tain amount of cultivation of the
soil.
The law governing the ordinary
homestead entry on plots of 100
acres is not in any way changed by
this bill, whose sole object is. to pro-
mote the reclamation of semi-arid
lands by .dry farming" in the states
of Colorado, California, Idaho, Mon
tana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming,
the territories of Arizona and new
Mexico. If the bill becomes a law,
many millions Of acres of land will
be made subject to the enlarged
homestead entry.

Wants ATTORNEY GENERALS
Office WELL INVESTIGATED

Albany, N. Y, Mar. 18-In the legis-
lature today Senator Martin SAKE of
New York, introduced a concurrent
resolution providing for a legislative
investigation of the conduct of the
Office of the attorney general of the
state during the administration of the
present incumbent, VIM. Schuyler Jack
son of Buffalo. especially with refer
ence to receiverships thanks and
trust companies.
Mr. jackson was elected on the De-

in Office since January l, 1907. The
general impression about the capitol

adopted and an investigation will be
Instituted.
The essential paragraph of the res
olution recites that during the recent
panic, when large number of fl
nancial institutions in New York City
were compelled to suspend and that
it has since been widely charged that
the Office of attorney general has been
used by MIR. Jackson and his subor-

Senator SAKE said that he intro

of certain bankers in New York City
whose names he might give later, but
that it represented his own views.
What jackson Says
New York, Mar. 18-Attorney Gen
eral Jackson said tonight that he
would welcome an investigation of his
Office if conducted in an impartial
manner, without personal feeling or
any consideration of politics. The at.
torney general said further:
mot one bank closed which did not
do so of its own accord. Where !

mine has been directly or primarily in
the interests Of the depositors and
directed toward preventing looting OF
the institutions. That can be easily
demonstrated by a legislative in
quiry."

STAGE FRIGHT.
Actors Have Been Known to Die From
the Malady.

Actors Have Been Known to Die From
the Malady.
Perhaps the most terrible malady
which can attack the actor in the
course of his performance in the pc
culiar disease known as stage fright.
Through its evil effects strong men and
women have been known to faint,
break down and do many other queer
things, and there are even on record
several cases Of people who have died
through this horrible seizure.
Some years ago young novice who
was to appear for the first time ar
rived at the theater very white and
shaky. Brandy being given him, he
appeared slightly better, but no sooner
had he set his foot on the stage than
he clapped his hand to his heart, with
low cry, and fell down dead. The
overwhelming sensation induced by
stage fright had attacked his heart,
and his theatrical career ended thus
even at it's beginning.
Quite as CHASTITY was the case of the
young amateur actress who, strangely
enough, had never experienced stage
fright when playing with her fellow
amateurs, but who was seized with the
attack on making her first professional
appearance. She went through the
scene aided by the prompter, her eyes
glazed, her hands rigid, and when the
exit came it proved her exit from life's
stage as well as the mimic boards, for
she staggered to her dressing room and
fell into a comatose state, from which
she never recovered.
Perhaps, however, the most peculiar
instance Of all was that of the veteran
performer who had gone through thirty
years Of stage work without experience
ing this malady. One night, however,
he conided to fellow player that a
quite unaccountable nervousness had
suddenly taken hold of him and that he
did not think he could ever act again.
His comrade laughed at the notion
and urged him to go on, as usual, but
his establishment may well be conceiv-
ed when the poor old player went on
the stage and, after making several
vain efforts to speak, fell back and ex-
pired. The doctor who made the post
mortem examination stated that death
was due to failure Of the hearts action,
evidently induced by the presence of
an attack Of stage fright.-Pearson's
Weekly.
