This sterilization very important If it had not been

Pickerts Pleased.

An attraction we'll worth the price
pleased good sized audience at the
Opera House last night, when the
Pickert Sisters Stock Company pre-
sented a comedy drama entitled "The
Only Son." The cast all did extreme
" well. Ralph Chambers as Mr..
Brainard, Jr., was strong in his part,
as were also Clint Dodson, as Thos.
Brainard, Sr.; Lillian Pickert as his
wife, and Blanche Pickert as Ann
Lester.
The irresistible appeal that vaude-
Vile ha- for amusement seekers was
very apparent last night. Erlau made
mis- point in the mastery playing of
the xylophone. Ernestine de Milo
billed as the little girl with a sweet
voice, proved one of the big hits on
the bill. Hienie, the funny Dutchman
came next with strong line of gags
and paradies. Heinie is clever
comedian and his Dutch dialect Is
excellent.
The four Pickerts opened their act
with a patriotic song, which made
things hum. The act was a>decided hit
Master Erlau received hearty wei
come from every one, and they woulo
not let him leave the stage until the
little fellow was practically tired out
For ten minutes he convulsed the audi
ence with his inimitable comedy. but
his own personality carried him ovel
to the biggest hit of the nights per
| formance.

TO DIE ON GALLONS.
Negro Slayer Of Miss Ebert Asks
Court for Mercy.

| i.
| Court for Mercy.
| Annapolis, Md, April 30.-Archie
Isaacs, the colored track walker who
confessed to the killing Of Miss Dora
Ebert on the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad near Odenton and with.
i. the Camp Meade reservation, was
Yesterday convicted OF murder in the
! first degree and sentenced by Judge
Robert Moss to death on the gallows.
The whole trial occupied but three
hours and half, and the jury was
only five minutes in rendering a ver-
dict. There was no recommendation
of mercy. When asked if he had
anythirr - say in connection wit
his s. .ence, Ie" 5 mumbled the
woru mercy several times, but was
not able to form coherent sentence.
He appears to have low degree of
mentality and little realization of his
situation.
The witnesses included several Off
GERS from Camp Meade, two of whom
were the first to find the body. A
bloody wrench about three feet long,
the weapon that killed the girl, was
identified as belonging to Isaacs.
The most important evidence was
the partial confession made to Detec-
tives Daugherty and Hogan of Baltl-
more and Sheriff Bells Of Anne Arun-
del county. Counsel for lsaacs made
an unsuccessful effort to have it eX-
cluded on the ground Of intimidation.
These officials testified that Isaacs had
repented his first statement, to the
effect that colored soldiers from Camp
Meade had killed Miss Ebert, and ad
mitted that he alone had committed
the crime.
Judge Moss, in delivering sentence,
told Isaacs that he had little time on
earth and must prepare for the here
a,:.ter, but that the law was more mer-
c.ful to him than he had been to Miss
Ebert. in giving him an opportunity
for reflection and repentance. Isaacs
seemed relieved that the trial was
over. He told Sheriff Bells during
the day that be knew that he had little
time to live.
