NOTABLE FIGHT FoRl LIBERTY
Features of the Case of Albert +,
Patrick, Condemned 20 Life
imprisonment.

In all the annals OF crime In America
there is no more remarkable case than that
Of Albert T. Patrick, now serving a life
sentence in Sing Sing prison for the murder
Of William Marsh Rice OF New York, Sep
TENDER q. 1900. For nearly nine years Pat
rick's fight for his life has been waged
with a resoluteness that has rarely II ever
been equAled in this country, but step by
step the technicalities OF the law were
exhausted and the latest, and It Is believed
the final, blow came a few days ago when
the appellate division OF the supreme court
in Brooklyn denied a writ of habeas corpus.
Patrick was convicted OF murder In the
first degree by a jury in the New York
courts, March &c, 1902, and was sentenced
to die in the electric chair In the week be-
ginning May Is. He was confined In a
death cell not twenty feet from the room
where the dreaded chat awaited him.
While the battle for his life was being
carried forward by his attorneys, Patrick
occupied the death cell for more thar four
years. During hat period he saw seven
teen other unfortunGtes taken from neigh
boring cells and marched to the fatal room.
The death watch Was put upon him = num-
Der OF times. and he even heard the report
OF the prison authorities that they had
tested the chair for him and that Il worked
properly. In the very shadow OF this
hidsous fate Patrick kept up q brave heart.
and outside his friends and attorneys in
voked every possible vAgary Of the law.
After his four ySas OF torture Patrick's
sentence was commuted 70 life imprison-
ment and he was taken 10 Sing Sing. But
this act OF mercy was not appreciated. for

his freedom or sent back to the death cell

QUEER BELIEFS OF SAILORS
Dread the EVIL Power of Cats and
Sharks and ships hat Can
Speak.

sailors are the most superstitious people
In the world said an old man who was
discoursing from his seat upon q rusty
anchor.
Anything they can't understand" went
on the speaker, they explain by magic
or something supernatural. The life. too,
makes men superstitious. Let a young
fellow who would ]poohpooh the idea Of
putting off anything until Saturday or
next week because Friday is al unlucky
day ship before the mast, and inside of
six months he'll be like all the rest, full
OF signs and supsrstItions about this and
that.
1T think that one Of the beliefs most
common among seamen Of all classes"
went on the speaker, us the idea that a
cat on board ship will cause her to meet
with gales. The old saying Is that a cat
carries a gale In her tail and the sailors
believe that when a cat frisks about the
deck she is raising a storm. The belief
that you can whistle up a wind is also
pretty generally found among seamen,
although those OF the younger sort do
not believe these things 30 firmly as do
most OF the older tars. In my younger
days 1 remember boys having their ears
boxed by the captain or the mate who
caught them whistling about their duties,
1T is curious how sailors dislike a cat
and how the name Is associated with so
many things that are unpleasant to the
sailor. The cat-o'-nine-tsls is well known
enough, and no sailor has any love for
the gear used in raising the anchor such
as the cathead. the catfsll. the cathook
and the catback. The pig seems TO be
only second TO the cat in the bad reputa-
ton It has on board ship, and there are
some other things which are unlucky to
have on the water. All luck is supposed
to desert a vessel that carries a dead
body.
II know OF but one thing that = con-
sidered to bring good fortune TO the yes
eel, and that is a child. The presence OF
a child during a voyage is always thought
to be a good omen. and II Is believed that
no ship which has a child on board will
sink. On the other hand, women are
thought unlucky. l cannot tell the reason
for this unless IL is that a ship is the least
comfortable place in the world for a woman
and the least suitable. Certain classes NJ
people fall under the sailors taboo. Min
listers are sure 10 bring misfortune 10 any

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Cal msnd con-

the Fort Myer drill grounds time after
time in his aoroplane in three successful
flights. He was cheered by thousands of
persons.
After the apparently unsuccessful at

Aspiring. While the machine oscillated at
certain points in It's flights, and dipped
and rose suddenly at other points, II was
evident from the regularity with which
these things happened that they were due
TO the condition Of the atmosphere and not
TO any fault OF the machine.
shortly before 6 O'Clock this evening the
aeroplane was wheeled from its shed "a
the starting place. Previously the field
had been cleared by a troop Of cavalry.
AS Wilbur and Orvine walked across the
field. Bishop Milton Wright. their father,
and ReulchIn. their brother, were wi6l
them.
After the motor had been tested, the
weight which gives the ~aeroplane its star
was hoisted up, and everything was ready
for a flight. The propellers were cranked
and Orville turned on the motor. The
screws whirled around at what seemed
like greater speed than on the previous
occasions, and as Orville climbed into his
seat, Wilbur put his hand on the right
wing ready to run along with the ma
chine. Nodding to his brother, Orville
released the machine and it started down
the track at a rapid rate. As Il neared
the end OF the starting rail. Orville turned
up the forward horizontal rudders and the
machine arose into the air.
