TOWN TALK
~ THn NAN ABoU1 TOWN.

ed man, to ascertain If it contained any
dry rot of mentality in root or branch.
Despite all efforts to save the mans
neck, the Minister of Justice at OF
tawa decided that it was not'a case in
which the crown should interfere.
The morning of the day set for
Dillons execution dawned hopelessly
for him so far as all human appear
ances went. Yet his counsel would
not give up the fight until the jail
physician had declared his client
dead dead, dead SO the intrepid
and indomitably persevering lawyer
appeared before the Judge who had
pronounced billions doom to plead
for a stay of execution until further
inquest into the sanity of the
wretched being could be held. Over
ruling the objection of the crown pro-
secutor that the court had no jurisdic-
tion-it being argued that it was un-
precedented for the judiciary to in
terfere in capital case after the exc
cutive had given the final word-the
judge granted the stay.
There was not a moment to be lost.
Dillon might even now be on the scat
fold. The telephone bell rang in the
prison and the order to stay execution
was hastily put in writing and borne
by fleet mercury to the hands of the
sheriff. 1t was in time.
Then the best reputed alienist in the
Dominion was fetched from a a distant
city to examine Dillon. He took
few days to consider the threads on
which life hung, in the meantime
the authorities and the press and the
public awaiting with intense interest
the deliverance of his opinion. This
was given through the executive at
Ottawa and was to the effect that Dill
Ion was not responsible for his ac-
tons Forthwith came the commuta-
tion of sentence.
a ludicrous incident of redtapism
ensued, which is hardly worth mem
tioning except it be to show that, in
the matter of official vagaries, the
whole civilized world is kin. Dillon
was sent under guard to the peniten-
tiary situated in distant town. When
his body was solemnly offered to the
custody of the warden, that official
refused to accept the prisoner as he
had not received the required order
from Ottawa. The guard refused to
wait for the opening of the Ottawa
mail that arrived the same time as
himself, but toted his charge all the
way back to Montreal. Within a
few, minutes after the guarl left st.
Vincent de Paul the warden had in
his hands the order to receive Dill
Ion. Some telegraphing took place
and the following day the convict en-
tered his life residence. Notwith-
standing his declared insanity and re-
legation to the insane division OF the
penitentiary, he was put to work on
the rock pile.
Altogether John Dillon's case cost
the country more than twenty thou
sand dollars. For this the country
was saved the blood upon it's head of
bloodshedder snatched from the gall
lows by the benefit of doubt in the
mind of a specialist after such bene-
fit had been denied on the evidence OF
other experts by the twelve men sworn
to give an impartial verdict.

town on Tuesday, has been the motif
of dinners all week, and on his return
next Tuesday will have had every mo.
ment of his time spent here taken up
with entertainments for him, given by
a host of friends who, being disap-
pointed at his inability to be with
them at Christmas, are endeavoring to
make every day of his trip here one
to be remembered. The first of the
series of dinners was gwen on Tues
day, by Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Case-Deer-
ing, who presided at a lovely table at
which covers were laid for fourteen.
Pink and white carnations, combined
with a touch of daintiness in pale
pink-shaded candelabra, formed
charming setting. The hostess, whose
hospitality and graciousness are fea-
ture, looked very beautiful in a gown
Of white lace trimmed in pale green.

spondent who requested him to substi-
tute the word sentiment" for ''senti-
mentality" which he used in his ad-
dress at the GuiidhaIl last Tuesday when
the freedom Of the city was conferred on
him
Mr.. Roosevelt in his speech was ana
lyz.ng British rule in Egypt. Britain,
he said, had given Egypt the best gov
ernment the country had had in two
thousand years, but in certain vital
points IT had erred. Those who have
TO do with uncivilized peoples, especially
fanatical peoples he said must re
member that in such q situation as that
which faces you in Egypt weakness
tirnidity and sentimentaiity may cause
infinitely more harm than violence and
injustice. sentimentality is the most
broken reed on which righteousness can
lean
To the objector TO the use Of the word
sentimentality Mr.. Roosevelt writes:
Dear Sir.
u regard sentiment as the exact an
tithesis of sentimentality, and to substi-
tute sentiment for sentimentality in my
speech would directly invert my mean
ing. ] abhor sentimentality. and, on the
other hand, think no man is worth his
salt who isn't profoundly influenced by
sentiment and who doesn't shape his life
in accordance with high ideal
