KRAKAS EXECUTED.

When Peter Krakas was executed to- day at Wilmington, Del, for the mur- der of a policeman in that city one, at least of the. murderers of the Rev. Joseph Zebris and his housekeeper in this city, closed his earthly career. few, but he did great deal of wrong during his short life and in none of his acts did he show greater ferocity than in the New Britain case when he killed an inoffensive man and a woman who had been attracted by l the noise incident to the killing of the priest and was then killed herself. l He remained in the town. he talked about the crime, attended a meeting where it was denounced and even went to the funeral of his victims. There was never anything like it, never a case where there was less feeling, and an utter disregard for popular opin- ion. The spirit of bravadn, however, did not always remain with him. AS the time drew near for his execution
 he lost courage, he was no longer
 the devil man may care criminal, but
 man who was fearful of what he had done. who wept when he meditated
 over his crime and the awful penalty
 he had to pay. He scorned religion
 at first, but accepted 1t later. made a full confession of the murder here, then denied it and was then hanged by the neck until he was dead. His
 companion is in jail at Hartford await1 ing trial for complicity ir5 the New Britain murder.
 Krakas was a stranger. there is no one to mourn for him in this country except brother in Boston, but his aged mother in far off Lithuania will undoubtedly weep for him during the remainder of her life. His death on, the scaffold simply furnishes an illustration of what will happen to
 ali who follow in his footsteps. There is no escape from it. Could Krakas,
 viewing it as he went to his doom
 have lived his life over again he would
 probably have been a better man and
 the dead priest would have been
 left to continue his work among his
 people. It was too late then, how ever, for good resolutions, but those who are leading the life he led may we'll ponder over his end, and avoid perhaps the same fate.

Dead From Typhus.
(Contri1uted:)

The officials of The American Board
 of Commissioners for Foreign Mis- sions have just learned of the death from typilus of Miss Marie Zenger, a Swiss nurse who was q member of the band of nurses and doctors. des- patched from the boards station at Sivas, Turkey, to aid in caring for the sick and wounded in Erzroom early in the winter. Although not under appointment by the American Board.
 Miss Zenger was at the head of one of the orphanages csta blislled in Sivas after the terrible massacres some years ago and was closely associated with the Americans in all their work.
 Early in the winter the American
 hospital in Erzroom as well as the buildings of the American Board s

 F. Clark, with 8 group of nurses, ai orderly and 8 druggist, took the twcn- ty-one days nia-winter journey.
 across three mountains, to Erzroom, which by the times his party arrived, was one big hospital.
 Miss Zenger, the Swiss lady whose death has just been reported, did heroic service in connection with tho l American buildings, of which she took charge, seeing that they were cleaned and put into running order after the first typhus outbreak was somewhat in hand She later supervised the or ganization of a hospital which some Armenians established in Erzroom. 1 The sivas party had started back over their mountain journey -Erzroom
 having received other reenforccments of military doctors and helpers-when Miss Zenger sickened. They reached Erzingan. an outstation of the board, where a German hospital is located.
