Executive Clemency Is All That Will
Save Mdrdersr.

CHICAGO, March 19.--Tomorrow
is the day fixed for the execution OF
Herman Billik, whose alleged crimes
are without parallel In the criminal
records of Chicago, unless II be in
the case of "Bluebeard" lIoch Or the
arch-murderer, H. H. Holmes. Not
withstanding the fact that the Illi-
pois supreme court has affirmed the
verdict of the trial court, friends OF
Bill:k are still hopeful that lie may
escape the moose. Pleas for execu-
tive clemency have been made, based
On the alleged confession of one of
the principal witnesses against Bill
Xix that he had lied on the stand and
had been coached in his story by the
police.
The crime for which Billik was
given the death penalty was the al
legged murder of Mrs. Mary Vrzal.
Martin Vrzal. husband of the wom-
an, was a milk vender, living with
his family in West Nineteenth
streets. When he met Billik in the
summer of 1904 B'llik informed
Vrzal that a rival milk vendor was
his enemy and offered to cast spell
that would protect ,Vrzal from
harm. Vrzal agreed, and potion
of white fluid was brewed on the
Vrzal stove and strewn across the
gateway of the Donosky home across
the way. For this service Billik ac-
copied loan.
Shortly afterward Vrzal became
i'll and Billik administered medicine
to him. Vrzal suffered from symp-
toms resembling arsenic poisoning,
and died in few days. The follow
ing July Mary Vrzal, the Oldest
daughter, visited B'llik and told him
she was i'll. He gave her medicine
and she died from arsenic poisoning,
In rapid succession the deaths oil
other members of the family follow
ed. All had been insured for small
amounts, which had been collected
by Mrs. Vrzal The police learned
| that through charms" and other
methods BiIlik had obtained more
than $4,000 from the Vrzal family
On December 5, 1905, Mrs. Vrzal
was taken suddenly i'll and died. The
death first was pronounced a sui
eide, but police inquiry showed that
Billik had been in the room with hel
prior to her death and had given hel
medicine. He was arrested anc
placed on trial July 8. The bodie:
of the Vrzal family had been exhum
ed, and all were found to contain
arsenic. Jersolobat Vrzal and Emma
Vrzal Niemann. children of Mrs
vrzal, were the principal witnesses
against Billik. He was convicted
and the death penalty fixed by thu
Jury on July 10. He was sentenced
to hang in October last, but twice
was reprieved. The case was carried
to the supreme court. which tribuna

The Left Twin.

The survivor of twins is sometimes
credited with curious powers. In folk
lore he takes his place with the sew
enth son and with the child born with
a caul. All these are supposed to have
either special powers of healing or in
some cases to be gifted with the mys-
FERROUS power of second sight "In
Essex, England" says ". G. Black in
his book on Folk Medicine" "a child

a child who has survived its fellow
TWINS thought to have the power Of
curing the thrush by blowing three
times into the patients mouth if the
patient is Of the opposite sex" This is
folklore, pure and simple. Another
country notion generally held is that
if twins are boy and girl the latter
will never become a mother The
physiology of the subject is obscure
but there is probably ground for the
belief. Another idea not infrequently
met with is that the intelligence of
twins is below the average. 1t is al
ways difficult to prove a negative, but
it is very doubtful whether facts sup
port this notion of limited intelligence
to any extent whatever. 1t is much
more probable that their physical
strength is likely to be something less
than normal

PRESIDENT AND son On
AFRICAN HUNTING TRIP

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 9
(SneciaD Definite announcement
that President Roosevelt and his son
Kermit would leave New York for
Cairo in April, 1909, for an extended
African hunting trip was made to-
day. Politicians here Immediately
began discussing Mr.. Roosebelt's
Dlans with relation to their bearing
on the third-term possibility. 1t was
the general verdict that the Presi-
dents coming trip was the strongest
kind of an indication that he rigidly
adheres to his determination not to
accept a third term nomination under
any circumstances.
The story that Mr.. Roosevelt was to
leave the country at the conclusion of
his term of office has been printed be-
fore. Now more definite confirmation
of it comes. Today it was positively
stated that Mr.. Roosevelt and his son
would leave in April 1909, as soon as
the necessary arrangements for the
departure could be made after the 4th
of March.
The President hopes to bring back
from the African forests specimens of
every species of big game to be had
there
Correspondence in relation to get
ting the outfit in Africa already is
under way. The exact size of the
hunting party, number of guides, re-
tanners and animals has not been de-
cided The President will take with
him an assortment of guns which he
will require.

His Desire to Reform.

I've been leading for the past two
years. I'm going to reform. This morn
ing | shall attend a lecture

Wilhelm decided How will he do
itY
oh, it is very simple. Wen tell the

Well set the sausage before Wilhelm,
and if he eats it we stay where we
are. If he doesn't, we reform and go to
lectures. Washington Star.

Sir Edwin and for some years." says

any man ever met with. An eccentric
woman fell desperately in love with
him and used to poster him first with
the most extravaganza love letters and
then by lying in wait for him when
ever he left the house. Finally she
issued invitations to the wedding, pre-
pared breakfast and an enormous cake
and called for poor Mr.. Landseer in
carriage and pair, the horses decked
out with white satin streamers and she
herself dressed most gorgeously as
bride. But that was the end of the per-
secution. Her friends took her away,
