JAMES 3. GENTRY PARDoNEO
Actor, Slayer of Madge York, to 81
FIR eed After Fourteen Years

Philadelphia, June Thames b.
Gentry, an actor formerly well known
who murdered his sweetheart, Madge
York. an actress, in this city fourteen
years ago, was pardoned by the state
board of pardons at Harrisburg today.
An organization composed of some of
the most prominent members of the
theatrical profession has worked hard
to obtain Gentry's release. Thous-
ands of dollars have been spent for
counsel fees and after Gentry's sen
tence to be hanged was committed to
life Imprisonment his case came peri
odically before the Pardon Board but
the plea was always denied until now.
Gentry, who is confined in the Eas-
tern Penitentiary here, will be notified
of his pardon tomorrow.
The murder of Madge York for
which James b. Gentry was sentenc-
ed to be hanged and finally sent to
prison for life, was committed on the
afternoon of February II, 1895 in this
city Miss York was playing here
with The Baggage Check" company.
Gentry who was filling an engagement
in Boston, had, his friends alleged, been
seriously i'll with the grip and was
drinking heavily He had an engage
ment to meet Miss York in New York
early in February but through a mis-
understanding he missed her at the
railroad station.
Some friends in New York iokingly
told him that Miss York was receiy.
ing the attentions of another actor.
From that time all trace of Gentry was
lost until he burst unannounced into
Miss York's room in a Walnut street
MOTEL here and, when she greeted him
coldly shot her three time in the brain
and fled down fire escape.

SUPT. THOMAS
TO BE REMOVED
This Is Said to Be Logical Re-
suit of Committees
Report.

The report Of the special committee
appointed by the governor to investigate
conditions at the state industrial school
was submitted to Governor Spry yes
terday forenoon The report is signed
by all the members of the committee A.
9. Nelson. state superintendent of pup
lie instruction; Nathan T. Harris of
Ogden. district attorney for the Fourth
judicial district; E. G. Gowans, judge
OF the juvenile court of Salt Lake, and
Rabbi Charles J. F'reund.
Further than the statement that the
committee was unanimous in its recon-
mendations, the governor and the mem
bers Of the committee have declined to
indicate the nature of the report. The
rumor that II. II. Thomas, superinten-
dent Of the state industrial school, is Sc
verely censUred in the report, and that
his resignation may be asked for by the
board of trustees Of the industrial
school, appears to have some founda-
ton.
The board Of trustees of the indus
trial school will meet with the governor
this forenoon, and the report will be dis
cussed in detail at this meeting. The
governor viii ask the board to adopt the
recommendations of the committee.

port viii be made public.

CACHE VALLEY CROPS GOOD

z. W. Robinson, speaker of the house
OF representatives Of the Eighth assem-
bly,, is in the city for a few days from
his home IN Logan. Mr.. Robinson says
the crops in his neck of the country are
in excellent condition.
THE hay crop viii be particularly
good said Mr.. Robinson. 1.-THE first
cutting was excellent, and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the others will
also be heavy. Last year our hay crop
was far from being good, and the. prices
were high. We have not been bothered
by the luceTn weevil, the pest that is
doing lot Of damage in the meadows
in some other parts OF the state.
THE grain Is doing well. It would
have possibly been a little fuller if we
had had more rain, but it rained late
enough to insure a good crop"

WE LIKE TO MEET HER.

The Girl Who Is Always Glad to See
 Us.
 The girl who makes us think she has been pining to see us. She may have not been, but her assumption Is pleasing to our self esteem
 She who has some graceful word of praise. Pounds of taffy may cloy. but the occasional piece usually goes to the spot.
 The girl who laughs.
 The girl who can calm us down. When the flame of ire is stirred it is easier to find those who will throw on fuel than be an extinguisher.
 She who stops for a kindly greeting, though we know she can Ill spare the time. The few minutes of our busy friends are more prized than hours from the girl who Is trying to kill time.
 The girl who has the latest news. We may disapprove of malice In gos- sip. but most of us will not seek for ear cotton when simple gossip comes our way.
 The girl with whom we can afford to let off steam. There are few among our friends who are trustworthy enough to prove safety valves. Their intention is usually better than their discretion.
 She who can make our. day brighter. There are some people who can put {. damper on our whole day without re- sorting to a word. A cheer bringer is a mascot.
 The girl who is always the same. Variety is an overestimated virtue when it is found in the disposition of our friends.
 The girl who leaves us quite in love with ourselves. Meeting some women is like an unexpected glimpse in dis torting mirror-our after humility is painful.

 The toy balloon that you buy from the man on the street corner is a pret- ty thing to play with for day. but then it's color becomes deadened, it's beautiful roundness departs, and 1t looks like a misshapen, wrinkled ghost of itself But, though it can no longer perform the duty for which it was made and sail proudly aloft to the ex- tent of its tether. a ball of brilliant ed. it still has the power tc afford amusement to little folk and in way that you would scarcely expect.
 Take up the poor, wilted little thing and lay it on the edge of chair or a table. It seems dead beyond the pow CT of anything to restore it to life. But let a woman or a girl stand near it and then start away from it at run, ail through tla room. out into the hall and into another room, and see how the dead thing will come to life. for it will fellow her everywhere at dis tance of two or three feet. moving rap idly if she moves rapidly, slowly if she moves slowly, stopping if she stops in fact. it seems to be endowed with

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Five cents worth of whiting kept in q bathroom closet is a cheap and quick nolisher of nickel fixings.
 If oilcloth is given a coat of varnish twice year 1t wears longer, Is more easily kept clean and does not lose the pattern.
 A paste of thick starch and water put on blood stains and allowed to stand for short time win remove them when not too old.
 In cutting bread for sandwiches If Q hot instead of cold knife is used tEe slices will be thinner and more easily cut.
 A saucerful of lime placed in damp closet will act as a disinfectant and absorb dampness. The lime should be renewed once in two weeks or as often As 1t shakes.
 The cheaper grade of almonds with hard shells are quite as good as the better almonds for salting. They are no more trouble to prepare If nut cracker is used to break them.
 Cold shrimp or cold chicken cut into dice and mixed with cold peas makes a delicious leftover when cream ed with butter, salt pepper and a lit tie milk or cream In chaffng dish.

Luckier Than Swastika.

A new good luck emblem has been found.
 It's discoverer-cynics might remark its inventor-says it Is 5000 years old and that it brings far more good luck to its wearer than the swastika-for instance, health, money, love, friends, appiness-scarcely any good thing is left out of its catalogue. It is in the form of a T with the center bar quite long and the suggestion of horseshoe across the center of the top.
 If you are superstitious add this to your collection of good luck emblems. i,ut. as a tip. don't sit down with hap py folded hands and expect all these blessings to come to you. The worlds experience has usually been that If you want these good things of life you must get up and amble after them quite hurriedly.

life and regulates its movements by hers. It acts precisely as if it were tied to the girls dress.
 This apparently mysterious action of the half empty balloon is caused by the displacement of the air by the girls movements. That is to say, at every step she takes she pushes the air In front of her aside and leaves q hole in the air Cor vacuum, as it is call ed) in the place where she last stood. Into this partial vacuum light cur rent of air flows to fill it, bearing the balloon with it. The more rapidly the girl moves the faster will the balloon follow. because the more air is thus displaced.
 It takes a woman or a girl to suc- ceed in this experiment because her skirts make more of a vacuum than a mans clothing can make.-Philadel- phia Record

 girl who has not much money to spend. but whose parties are enjoyed for their informality and the touch of novelty found In the arrangements, hit upon set of prizes for a recent card party that proved so popular they may be suggestive.
 Dainty handkerchief boxes covered with stylish blue and white Japanese paper were lined with white tissue paper. and in each box were put two belts and two small silk bows to match. Tinseled and fancy belting was used and the double bows were not more than two inches across when finished.
 The belts can be picked up quite cheaply when sales are watched, and each tie takes less than an eighth of a yard of silk. They are simple to make. consideration with a busy girl.
 A pattern for each loop was a semi circle about two inches and n half long and two inches deep. The straight edge was put on the fold of the silk and the material cut double. Four of these pieces were cut, and each one was gathered around the curved edge and drawn up into as tight a neck as possible.
 Two loops were then sewed together neck to neck, ard one set of loops was placed on top of the other and ....c joining covered with a narrow fold of silk
 Half dozen such bows can be made in short time, and If pretty colors are chosen they are extremely becom- ing, besides making an artistic looking gift when combined in the box with contrasting shades.
