NEW LEASE ON
LIFE FOR COLOMBO
Governor Grants 80 Day Re-
prieVe to Man Sentenced
to Die Tomorrow
COUNSEL SEEK LIFE
TERM FOR PRISONER

Governor Pennewill today granted a
reprieve to George Colombo. under
sentence of death In the New Castle
County Workhouse yard tomorrow, for
assault upon a child. Wilbur l..
Adams, one of counsel for Colombo,
went to Dover today to get the re-
prieve which he will bring to VIII
mington and personally take to War
den Crawford at the workhouse to-
night.
Josiah Marvel, who is associated
with Mr.. Adams In the case, said to-
day that the mails could not be trusted
in this instance and that Mr.. Adams
would personally go to Dover to get
the document, precious beyond value
to Colombo
Colombo's counsel made application
for ninety-day reprieve to cover the
session OF the Legislature and a meet
ing of the Board of Pardons but the
Governor consented TO a reprieve until
February IL. If In that time the at
torneys have failed to have the bill
they propose to introduce in the Leg
islature. passed, he may grant another
extension, of time.
The bill In question will provide
for change in the present law fixing
death for criminal assault, so that
when a jury makes a recommendation
for mercy prisoners convicted of the
offense can be sentenced to life I'm
prisonment. In ColOmbos case every
member Of the jury which found him
guilty has signed the petition favoring
a life sentence for Colombo. The pris-
oner was much pleased at hearing OF
his reprieve.

NO CHANGE IN WALKS.
Park Board Thinks Its Judgment Bet
ter SO Wouldn't Consider Change.

James Sayers appeared before the
Board OF Park Commissioners. in ses-
sion yesterday afternoon and brought
TO their attention a matter which had
apparently been making him uneasy
for some time. It concerned the plac-
ing OF a concrete walk on the north
side of the Brandywine and placing a
cinder path on the north side Of Low
ering avenue instead OF a concrete
path, as had been petitioned fo- by
several property owners on that ave
nue.
The board, however, considered that
they had placed the walk correctly
when they had put it on the north
side OF the Brandywine, as there had
been no walk there befo e its place
ment and there had been a macadem
roadway on Lowering avenue which
would make an excellent walking
place in weatb -%<ch would make the
cinder path undesirable. Mr.. Sayers
was somewhat disappointed in the
action of the board.

moving this obstruction found other

The wisdom and urgent need OF test.
ing animals which are to be used for
breeding purposes were effectively
shown In the case Of the owner Of
fine herd Of Holstein cows Of which
we read the other day. One cow in
the herd which he priced highly had
not responded as she should from the
tuberculin test applied at intervals Of
several months before, and to be fully
satisfied In regard to the matter he
had the COW slaughtered by an as
sistant Of the state veterinarians Of
fee. A postmortem examination
showed that the COW was 30 far gone
with tuberculosis that there were tu-
bercular LESSONS all through her vital
organs and muscular tissues and that
no portion Of her carcass was At for
food. 1t was an emphatic demonstra-
ton, convincing not only the owner.
but many nelghbors and visitors who
were present. Next time he viii act

old maxim "The sire is salf the herd"

FEEDING NOT VERY SIMPLE
Cheerful Company at a Meal and En-

Robust people, SO long as they get
what suits their own uncultivated
taste, are apt to make very light Of
what they call "fancies" about food,
and overlook their real importance.
Feeding on the part of civilized man
is not the simple procedure which 1t
is with animals. although many ami
mails are particular as to their food
and what is called dainty" The
necessity for civilized man of cheer
full company at his meal and for the
absence of mental anxiety is univer-
sally recognized, as we'll as the i'm
portance of an inviting appeal to the
appetite through the sense of smell
and of sight, while the injurious effect
of the reverse conditions, which may
lead to nausea and even vomiting, is
admitted
Even the ceremonial features of the
dinner table, the change of clothes,
the leisurely yet precise succession Of
approved and expected dishes, accom-
panied by pleasant talk and light
hearted companionship, are shown by
strict scientific examination to be inn
portant aids to the healthy digestion
of food, which need not be large in
quantity because wisely presented
