SWEDENBORG.

Swedenborg, the Mystic, who was born on this date in 1888, was a man of exalted thinking, and a man of clean living. His life-history is some what remarkable for it's complete di- vision into 2 parts, each of which would seem to have nothing to do with the other.
 The first 55 years of Swedenborgs $ life were spent in purely scientific study and devoted to official business for the king of Sweden. The last 28 years of his life to spiritual mys ticism and the foundation of a new religion.
 Swedenborg was as sincere in his descriptions of the spiritual world as he was in regard to his studies in Materialism.
 There is a letter extant written by the celebrated Kant the philosopher, in 1764, which gives some curious details regarding Swedenborg.
 The great thinker Kant considered that the following is indu ubitable proof of Swedenborgs possession of an extraordinary gift:
 'In the year 1756," writes Kant, when M. de Swedenborg arrived at Gottenberg from England, MT. Will liam Coste1 invited him to his house with party of 15 persons.
 At 6 o'clock, Swedenborg went out, and after a few moments returned pale as ashes. He said that a dan gerous fire had broken out in Stock holm, 300 miles from Gottenberg, and that it was spreading fast. He was very restless, and went in and out of the house. He said that he saw the house of one of his friends in ashes. And that his own house was in danger.
 At P. M, he joyfully cried out, f@Thank God, the fire is extinguished, ! the third door from my house." His words occasioned great commotion throughout Gottenberg.
 It was communicated to the Gov ernor that evening. The next morn ing (Monday) the Governor sent for Swedenborg who described the hour the fire had begun, and the moment it was extinguished, and the extent of danger it had done.
 On that same Monday evening a messenger arrived from Gottenberg. In the letters to the Governor the fire was described exactly as Swedenborg had stated it.''
 This is great testimony from the cool and correct thinker, Emmanuel Kant.
 Neither by geometricaI, nor physi- cal, nor metaphysical principles had Swedenborg succeeded in reaching and grssping the infinite and spirit ual. He said, There was manifes- , tation of the Lord to me in person" :" .'the opening of my spiritual insight v ssthe Lord filled me with His spirit to spread abroad the doctrines of the New Church.
 Swedenborg's doctrine made the Scriptures the foundation of his phil osophy. He asserts that no philosophy worthy of the name can rest on any other foundation. He claimed that no one can without divine as- sistance interpret spiritual things by natural.
 He claimed to have the faculties of his mind opened by the Lord to the true nature and scientific value of the reality of things.
 Swedenborgianism is based on the belief of Swedenborg's claims, his doctrine of the Trinity, etc. It Is now a distinct society. The first public meeting was held in 1783, in London. The "New Church" has societies in all the Brit ish Colonies, and in the prominent centres of Europe

CLARA kiMBAll YOUNG AT HER BEST IN tt." "THE MARtONETTESv

"The Marionettes" as screen production promises 10 win public approval as society melodrama Clara kimball Young has never been cast in a role in which her emotional abilities have been demonstrated to better advantage. Her transition from a simple country girl to a grande dame is alive with finely graduated sentiment and certain to add to her already great popularity as an actress.
 AS the innocent young wife who gradually awakens to sense Of neg. feet and the one chance of winning her husbands affections, she gives a performance which is remarkable for it's strength and artistic finish Tn this production, Miss Young shines forth as an actress whose previous successes in filmland are relegated to the background in comparison
 The picture, considered from all angles, with it's fine photography and direction is in every way worthy. ''The Marionettes." will be shown al the Palace theatre for the last time tonight.

STROUD TO BE FIRST TO HANG
 IN 50 YEARS
Juneauite Will Break a Long Kansas Record if President
 Does Not Come to Aid

LEANENWORTH, Kans., April G. Robert F. Stroud, of Juneau, Al aska, will be the first man legally hanged in Kansas in almost 50 years unless President Wilson saves him by exercise of executive clemency
 The last legal hanging in this State took place in 1870 and the death penalty was abolished in Kan sas in 1907 but Stroud was tried and convicted in Federal courts for a murder committed i'll the Federal penitentiary here and sentenced un- der the Federal law to be hanged.
 Another unusual feature of the case is the fact that he would have escaped with life Imprisonment if he had not insisted upon a third trial which resulted in a death sen tence If it is carried out he will be the first man to be executed in Leavenw worth prison
 Stroud was serving a 12-year sen tcnce in the penitentiary for the killing of man in Alaska in quar- rel over q dance hall girl, when in 1916 he attacked Andrew E. Turner, prison guard, and stabbed him to death with a dagger which he had made from table knife, and carried in a concealed pocket in his coat Stroud asserted subsequently, that Turner had called him a name.
 For this killing Stroud had three trials. In the first he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death but the Court of Appeals re- manded the case on the ground that the Trial Judge had failed to inform the jury of it's privilege Of bring ing in qualified verdict" limit ing the punishment to life imprs- onment. In the second trial the jury availed itself of this legal pro- vision and sentenced him for life. Stroud's lawyers felt that they had gained victory, but at the pris- oner's insistence the case was again appealed, and at his third trial Stroud was once more found guilty and sentenced to death The case was carried to the United States Supreme Court which affirmed the sentence.
 Stroud has been aided by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Stroud, who came from Alaska in an effort to save his life She appealed to Presi- dent Wilson to commute the death sentence. Ef
