VAN R|SE At LAST
GETS ANOTHER JOB
jerseys Official Hangman Off.
GATES at Scranton
Execution.

When New Jersey bought a nice new
electric chair Hangman Van Hise, of
this city, was thrown temporarily out
of employment. He oficiated with his
faithful old gallows at one belated
hanging in New Brunswick this year,
but thai was a leftover, the victim
having been sentenced to the gallows
before the chair had been installed.
On the occasion of the last New Jer-
sey hanging Van Hise announced that
he was open to engagements in any of
those States which still employed the
gallows to cut off the life of its con
demned criminals. He got his first job
yesterday, in Scranton, Pa.
Nicholas Demarzo, who shot and
killed his child-wife. was executed
there. Demarzo handed his spiritual
adviser, Father William ellison, a long
knife as he was being led to the xeaf-
fold, remarking: 81 could have killed
myself if I had wanted to, but l am
going to die like a man." Denarzo
examined the gallows with interest, and
asked that the blackcap be not pulled
down over his head.
Van Hise said that Demarzo was the
eighty-seventh man he had sent to
death with the gallows he used yester-
day. He declared hat Demarzo hal
exhibited more nerve than any man he
had ever known In like plight.

very soon Mr.. Innes and another
gentleman left, using the car.
Thomas and she had got Louise quiet,
and a little before three Mrs. Watson
started up to the house. Thomas had
a key to the east entry and gave it to
her.
On the way across the lawn she was
confronted by Arnold, who for some
reason was determined to get into the
house. He had a golf stick in his hand,
that he had picked up somewhere, and
on her refusal he had struck her with
it. One hand had been badly cut, and
1t was that, poisoning having set in,
which was killing her. She broke away
In a frenzy of rag and fear, and got
into the house while Gertrude and Jack
Bailey were at the front door. She
went upstairs, hardly knowing what
she was doing. G~ertrude's door was
open. and Halsey's revolver lay there
on the bed. She picked it up, and
turning, ran part way down the circu-
lar staircase. She could hear Arnold
fumbling at the lock outside. She
slipped down quietly and opened the
door; he was inside before she had got
back to the stairs. 1t was quite dark,
but she could see his white shirt
bosom. From the fourth step she fired.
AS he fell, somebody in the billiard
room screamed and ran. When the
alarm was raised she had had no time
to get upstairs; she hid in the west
wing until every one was down on the
lower floor. Then she slipped upstairs
and threw the revolver out of an upper
window, going down again in time to
admit the men from the Greenwood
Club.
If Thomas had suspected, he had
never told. When she foun the hand
Arnold had injured was growing worse
she gave the address of Lucien at Rich
field to the old n almost a
hundred dollars. The money was for
Lucien's board until She recovered. She
had sent for me to ask me If l would
try to interest the Armstrong; in the
child. When she found herself grow
ing worse, she a written to Mrs.
Armstrong, telling her nothing but
that Arnold's legitimate child was at
Richfield, and imploring her to recog-
nize him. She was dying: the boy was
an Armstrong. and entitled to his
fathers share of the estate. The papers
were in her trunk at Sunnyside. with
letters from the dead man that would
prove what she said. She was going;
she would not be judged by earthly
laws, n somewhere else perhaps Lucy
would plead for her. 1t was she who
had crept down the circular staircase,
drawn by a magnet, that night Mr..
Jameson had heard some one there.
Pursued, she had fled madly, anywhere
through the first cor she came to.
She had fallen down the clothes chute,
and been saved by the basket beneath.

had not been Gertrude, after all!
That was the story. Sad and tragic
though it was. the very telling of it
seemed to relieve the dying woman.

dead. and / did not tell her. l promised

LIGHTS MUST SHINE
TO BENEFIT MANY
If Arc Lamp Blazes Into Your
Windows There Is Now
No Remedy.

The good of the majority led the
Hnance committee of the Board of
Works to decide at it's meeting yester-
day that no more Opaque or colored
globes shall be allowed on the street
lights in the city. A few residents, in
front of whose houses the glare from
the arcs may be unpleasantly intense,
may be Inconvenience, but the COM
m~issioners did not feel that it would
be wise to lessen the efficiency of the
lights to benefit these few.
1t has been the habit of the Public
service Corporation to furnish these
globes, when requested, without con-
sulting the board. Recently Commits
sioner Lambert, chairman of the light
ing committee, notified the corporation
not to do SO until the matter had been
brought up before the board. The com
missioner said yesterday that, Will
the light shining in the windows of
nearby houses was too intense, the
colored globes cut off one-third of the
candlepower of the light and made the
street that much darker.
1t was decided to grant no more per-
mission for the substitution of the other
globes.

THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE
BY MARY ROBERTS RINEHART

from a model husband, even for the
three months, and when he disappeared
Anne was almost thankful. 1t was
different with the young wife, however.
She dropped and fretted, and on the
birth of her baby boy she had died.
Anne took the child and named him
Lucien.
Anne had had no children of { her
own, and on Lucien she had l~avished
all her aborted maternal instinct. On
one thing she was determined, how
ever, that was that Aubrey Wallace
should educate his boy. 1t was a part
of her devotion to the child that she
should be ambitious for him; he must
have every opportunity. And so she
came East. She drifted around, doing
plain sewing and keeping a home sone-
where always for the boy. Finally,
however, she realized that her only
training had been domestic, and she
put the boy in an ~Episcopalian home,
and secured the position of house
keeper to the Armstrong;. There she
found Lucien's father, this time under
his W name. 1t was Arnold Arm
strong.
1 gathered tina there was no par
ticular enmity at the time in Anne's
mind. She told him of the boy, and
threatened exposure if he did not pro-
vide for him. Indeed, for a time, he
did so. Then he realized that Lucien
was the ruling passion in this lonely
woman's life. He found out where the
child was hidden and threatened to take
him away. Anne was frantic The po-
sitions became reversed. Where Ar

support, as tn. years went on he forced
money from Anne Watson instead until
she was always penniless. The lower
Arnold sank in the scale the heavier his
demands became. With the rupture
between him and his family things
were worse. Anne took the child from
the home and hid him in a farmhouse
near Casanova, on the Claysburg road.
There she went sometimes to see the
boy, and there he nae taken fever. The
people were Germans, and he called the
farmers wife "grossmutter.' He had
grown into a beautiful boy, and he was
all Anne had to live for.

That had been on Saturday. That
night Louise arrived Unexpectedly.
Thomas sent for Mrs. Watson and then
went for Arnold Armstrong at the
Greenwood Club. Anne had been fond
of Louise-she reminded her of Lucy.
She did not know what the trouble
was. but Louise had been In a state

CHICAGO, July S0.-Mrs. Ella FIagg

School, and one of the best known edu-
Gators of the Middle West, will be the

The unanimous selection of Mrs.

hour session, during which six candi-
dates for the place, all principals of
Chicago schools, appeared before the
committee and answered questions per-
tanning to the administration of the
schools and the position of superia-
enden The action of the board in
unanimously selecting the Chicago
woman brought to a close three week F;
OF caucuses and Informal meetings. and
was the last important business Of the
school year. Her selection followed a
struggle for the office, which has Kan
going on since the resignation of Edwin
q. Cooley, several months ago. At one
time the question of Mr.. Cooley's sue
cessor appeared to f~oreshadow a est
among the members Of the board. Many
educators from other cities have besn
urged by their friends. At its meeting
the board also created a new pesiti,n in
the schools, that of assistant to the
superintendent. John d. Shoop. surer-
visor of vacation schools. was nam I'd
for the place.
Mrs. Young is 81 years old. and was
born In Buffalo. N. Y. She has been
engaged in teaching since 1862. She was
district superintendent of schools for
chicago from 1887 to 1899, and a pro-
lessor of education at the University of
Chicago from 1899 to 1905. She has been
the editor of the Chicago Bimonthlv
since 1896, and is the author of several
DOCKS on educational subjects. An or
ganizaticn of women principals of
chicago elementary schools is named
the Ella F. Young Club.
