connected with the District Attor-
 ney's office, where the theory has long prevailed that it is impossible to get a jury of twelve men in the County of New York to send anything wearing a petdcoat to the electric chair No matter how clear the case or convincing the evidence, or perfect the chain of proof it has ! heretofore been found useless to eX- pecJ a verdict of murder in the first degre against a woman in this coun- ty. And what is tru of New York county is true of almost every other
 in the State as shown by the results
 of trials of women charged with
 murder In the twenty-two years, since the electric chair was substi- tuted for the hangman's moose as the legal method for taking the life of a
 convicted murderer, only two women have died in the State of New York
 at the hands of the law Yet in that period scores have been tried for mur- der-in numerous cases the facts of the killing being admitted. The first olectrocution of a woman took place in Sing Sing on March 2l 1899 The victim of the death chair was Mrs
 Martha Place, of Brooklyn who killed her husband with an axe The second electrocution of a woman was that of Mrs Mary Farmer, who was
 put to death in Auburn prison ten years after the first electrocution Mrs. Farmer was convicted of mur- dering Mrs Sarah Brennan, her inti- mate friend and neighbor in order
 to gain possession of her property
 Mrs. Brennan was hacked to pieces
 with a hatchet and her body stuffed
 in a trunk

mothers. They write Of the wonderful
relief. how It seemed to allow the
muscles TO expand without undue strain

Tremendous Expense
OF Balkan War Places
Crown Jewels on Market

The Balkan states, with their war
funds at the minimum because OF hos
tilities which preceded the present Eu-
ropean disturbance, have been sorely
pressed for revenue. Eitwich- Hald-
mandt in particular has faced severe
crisis. as recent taxes have yielded lit
tie and numerous riots have threatened
internal troubles at a time when l,ar-
mony Is essential in repulsing neigh
boring enemies. 1t appears that an
unkind fate has overtaken every effort
Of the king Of Eltwich- Haldmandt to
raise funds. The marriage which he
planned between his daughter, the
Princess Zavia, and Prince Sacholdt
was thwarted by the princes refusal
to- enter political alliance. In des-
peration the princess volunteered to
secretly dispose Of the crown jewels,
representing approximately one million
dollars.
On the steamship a thief, known as
Won Block, learned Of the princess's
mission, and only by a daring strata
gem was she able to land with the
jewels intact. Won Block kept on Ia
Was trail, and by arranging an acct
dent to her taxicab he boldly made of
with the royal gems. Fearing she
would disclose her identity by inform-
ing the police, the princess in her ex-
tremity turned to comparative stran-
ger for assistance. The stranger, By
the way, was none other than Prince
sacholdt, who had fed from his coun-
try incognito. How the prince recov-
ers the gems and changes his mind
regarding matrimony will be found in

son was the descendeut Of Peter Thel-

eighteenth century leaving will
which provided that the residue Of
his estate should not be distributed
for five generations The provision
was contested in the courts and while
a decision was given that the Will
was legal under the existing law, the
action led to the passage OF the act
popularity known as the "ThellussOn
law" which limits the period OF ac-
cumulaton Of the residue of estates.
Peter Thelusson was an English
merchant, whl directed that the in

real estate OF tho annual valuation OF
$3.50 and personal property valued
at over 100000, should be accu-
mulated during the lives OF his chill

children. At the slime Of his death
