looked for advice to Judge brewster,
who at that instant entered the room.
The captain glared at her viciously,
and unable to longer contain his
wrath, he beloved:
I'll tell you where she is! She's
right here in this room!" Pointing
his finger at Annie in theatrical fash.
Ion, he went on furiously: "Annie Jeff
ries, you're the woman who visited
Underwood the night of his death! |
don't hesitate to say so. I've said so
all along, haven't I, Maloney?"
Yes, you told the newspapers So"
retorted Annie dryly.
Taking no notice of her remark, the
captain clustered:
I've got your record, young wom-
an! | know all about you and your
folks. You knew the two men when
they We're at college. You knew I'm
derwood before you made the &C.
quaintance of young Jeffries. 1t was
Underwood who introduced you to
your husband. 1t was Underwood who
aroused your husbands jealousy.
You went to his rooms that night.
Your husband followed you there, and
the shooting took place." Turning to
Judge Brewster, he added, with a sar-
castle grin; False confession, Ell?

tional and constitutional law for yours

you don't say so?" exclaimed An

insolence.
Judge Brewster held up a restrain
ing hand.

dignity.
No, guess I'll let him talk. Go
on, captain" she said with a smile,
as if thoroughly enjoying the situa-
ton.
Alicia came forward, her face pale,
but c. 1t a look of determination, as
if she had quite made up her mind as
to what course to pursue. In her
hand waa Underwood's letter. Ad-
dressing Annie, she said, with emo

to do it, she realized what it was cost

a sacrifice. Perhaps there was some
other way.
No, no, not yet" she whispered.
But Alicia brushed her aside and,
thrusting the letter into the hand of
the a9tonished police captain, she
said:
Eyes, now! Read that, captain!"
Capt. Clinton slowly unfolded the
letter. Alicia collapsed in a chair.
Annie stood by helpless, but trying to
collect her wits. The judge watched
the scene with amazement, not under
standing. The captain read from the
letter:

and glancing at the signature, ex-
claimed, Robert Underwood" Look

She collapsed utterly, and sinki-5
down IN a chair, gave way to a pas

quiet her;

won't be as bad as you think" She
untolded the letter Alicia had given
her and carefully read 1t through.
When she had finished her face lit up
with joy. enthusiastically she cried;

ARCHBISHOP DENOUNCED RE-
CALL.


Archbishop Ireland, in speaking at
the Grant celebration, denounced the
recall of judges and judicial decisions
in the strongest terms.
On the political problem the Arch
bishop declared that the main ques-
tion was how are the people to gov
ern, whether directly or through
representatives, acting under consti-
tutional limitations. He sketched the
framing of the constitution, and said
in part:
Stability of constitution and law
is the vital condition of social order,
of continuous economic progress.
What becomes of this stability when
small percentage of voters may at
their caprice suspend DEGREES of legis-
latures, call for alterations in exist
ing laws, propose as projects of law
their wants and fancies? 1t is the
road to social revolution. Into it we
may at any moment be cast by a
small minority of the people-often
the precise minority which least de-
serves the protective hand of govern
ment."

TO SAVE FAMILIES FIRST.

The unwritten law of the seas,
"Women and children first" as OBJ
served in the Titanic tragedy, is
wrong, according to Mrs. Donald H.
Hooker, prominent in society and
women's club circles of Baltimore
Mrs. Hooker said:
Il believe 1t is just as important to
save a man as a woman, and so the
law of the sea, Women and children
first is not applicable, at least until
the unity of the family has been pre-
served. No other arrangement is
durable until the last whole family
has been saved or decided to die to-
gether, then the question of chivalry
may give preference to the woman,
though the question is so great that
no one has a right to say. Tickets
should be issued to each passenger
taking passage, assigning them to a
certain lifeboat in families, as they
purchase their passage. Then in the
moment of disaster families should
be sent into the boats together"
In view of the fact that only one
woman on the Titanic declined to
take advantage of the prerogative
accorded her sex, it is doubtful if a
very large per cent. of women will
agree with Mrs. Hooker.

THE WITCHING HOUR.

A drama of exceptional strength
by Augustus Thomas, and which en-
joyed a phenominal run at the Hack
ett theater, New York, will be of
fered Toledoans by the Hackett COM
pany at the Lyceum next week,
starting Sunday night. This will be
the first showing of this play in To-
ledo in stock The subject of the
piece is mental telepathy, the COM
munication of thoughts from one
mind to another. The principal
character is a highly intellectual.
man, John Brookfield, gambler,
who, on the development of the plot,
finds himself to be possessed of ex-
traordinary hypnotic power. That
faculty he exercises upon a jury en-
gagged in the trial of youth, who in
a sudden frenzy of inherited aver
sion to a cats eye jewel, has killed
man for obtruding that offensive
iem upon his notice. Brookfield,
likewise through the medium of the
press, in1ames the public mind
against the prosecuting attorney in
that trial and it is intimated that
the jury is hypnotically impressed
by the transference of thought from
the community. The young man, at
any rate, is acquitted. The discred-
tied prosecutor thereupon tries to
murder Brookfield but that gifted
mans hypnotic power serves to pro-
tect him.
Mr.. Norman Hackett in the role
of John Brookfield will be seen to
splendid advantage and the entire
supporting company have been cast
in such a manner that their indi-
vidual qualifications stand out
strongly. There will be matinee per-
formances of "The Witching Hour
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

A FINE RECORD.

Forty nine years of attendance in
the public schools without single
tardy mark. Mr.. j. Davis and his
children are those who have reason
to be proud, for in all their school
years-forty nine in all-the children
have not one tardy mark to MARI their
records. This fact alone would make
an exceptional recommendation for
business purposes or in character.
We are inclined to think that not
another such record can be found in
Perrysburg.

In Wood county we have an official
appointed to look after the weights
and measures, but nothing has been
heard of him since he was appointed.
A law was passed requiring vege-

thing in that manner. Who knows
II there are any inaccurate scales in

NEW RACE NEAR THE POLE
Explorers Steffansson and Anderson
Find Men With Red Boards In
Victoria Land.

Tidings of hitherto unknown race
hae been received in dispatches from
Stefansson and Anderson, who are
conducting an expedition in the far
north.
The strange race was located in
Victoria Land, north of Cape Bexley.
One theory Of their origin is that
they may be descendants of an an
cient Icelandic colony from Green
land. OF unusual interest is the fact
that the natives bear names that can
be translated into English, suggesting
that survivors of the Franklin expedi-
tion may have lived among them.
They have some Scandinavian char
acteristics and are different from any
other American aborigines. Two Of
them wore boards of a reddish color
and all had light eyebrows. Nothing
learned from them indicated that the
race as it exists today had ever seen
white man.
The courier who first went forward
to parley with them almost lost his
life, when native attacked him with
knife. Friendly advances were final
ly successful, and by means of the
sign language and the assistance of
native guides communication was held.
The race was an aboriginal one
called A-ku-li-a-kat-tag-mi-ut. 1t had
been believed that the territory was
