MOTHER PLEADS FOR
 STAY OF EXECUTION
Wade, Sentenced to Die Tonight,
 Shows No Concern GOES TO THE DEATH HOUSE
Little Likelihood That Executive Clemency Will Be Exercised-Has Brother Waiting Trial for Burg lary.

lary.
 Hartford, May 19.-While prepara. tions were going forward in the state prison at Wethersfield today for the hanging of Elwood B. Wade of Bridgeport shortly after midnight to- night. Mrs. Wade, the doomed man's 8 moth ,r, was anxiously seeking an au- dience with Governor Lake to ask him to stay execution of the death pen atty on her son. On Monday the board of pardons refused to grant Wade clemency and there seemed lit tie hope that anything would interfere with the prescribed fate of the mur- derer.
 Vale Appears Calm.
 Wade showed no apparent concern over his impending end. At o'clock this afternoon he is to be taken to the death cell, where he is to be given his supper and where he will be guarded by one or two guards as his behaviour may demand until the hour of midnight. During his closing hours spiritual advice will be given by Prison Chaplain William B. Cary.
 Last Meal Tonight.
 His last meal will be likely that given to the prisoners generally for supper and the rest of the evening he may have the company of the chaplain throughout the final hours ii he desires. Throughout his months of imprisonment Wade has shown lit tie interest in his position and that demeanor was characteristic of him today. He will be hanged for the murder of George Mott at Bridge port last summer.
 Brothers Trial Postponed.
 Bridgeport, May 19.-The trial or Ivan Wade, brother of Elwood B. Wade now awaiting execution at wethersfiel6 prison, which was sched- uIed to come before the superior court here today, was postponed until the September term of the court Ivan Wade is charged with burglary at the home of local real estate dealer.

an object lesson in pedestrianism which
our auto-bound and front-porch-loving
race would do well to heed, writer
stated recently in the Cincinnati
Times-Star. The distinguished visitor
seldom uses motor car unless the
distance to be covered Is too far to
negotiate on foot, or unless speed is
necessity. viscount Bryce prefers
to hoof it. He is covering the hills
and dales of the Berkshires with a
stride so robust as to out distance
most of his companions. His health
Is excellent and his appetite perfect.
For these blessings Lord Bryce gives
walking. constant, daily walking. the
credit. He is living example of the
virtues of using ones legs for the
purpose which nature intended.
The English are great pedestrians.
Even in the larger cities where trans
portation is frequent and comfortable,
they flock along the pavements from
the sheer delight they find in using
natures first means of locomotion. In
America we go In great deal for
sports. and find much pleasure and
health in these diversions. But we
are not walking race. We are pass
ing up one of the simplest easiest and
cheapest forms OF exercise known, and
our digestions and tempers are paying
the price of our pedal laziness.

HARD TO EXPLAIN
Happenings in Life Stranger
Than Fiction.
Odd Condolences Of Wrecks, and In
the Careers Of the Ex-kaiser and
Emperor Napoleon.

Condolences In life are stranger
than anything In fiction.
There used to be two steamers
called the Romulus and the Remus. A
few years back the former was lost
In the English channel. Within three
weeks the Remus was wrecked a
thousand miles away from the scene
of her sister ships disaster.
Many reliable authorities regard the
following as the most amazing coinci-
dence on record, says London Answers.
More than 200 years ago, Dec. 8. 1864.
a boat crossing the Menai straits with
eighty-one passengers encountered a
terrific gale and foundered. The only
man to escape death was a Hugh VIII
liams.
More than 100 years later, Dec. 5.
1880, another vessel, with large num-
Der of passengers, sank In the same
circumstances. and in the same spot.
All the passengers were drowned eI-
cept one. His name was Hugh VIII
liams.
Again, Dec. 5, 1920, a boat carrying
thirty people, sank in the same spot.
The sole survivor was a Hugh Williams.
The figure 8 has peculiar con-
nection with the career of the ex-
kaiser. He was born in the fifty-ninth
year of the century, entered the army
in 1869. and completed his university
career in 1879. The dates of his birth
and marriage-Jan. 27 and Feb. 27-
both make nine, il two and seven are
added together. And the same number
figures in his defeat and exile. That
occurred In 1918. which contains one
figure 20" and two figures that added
together make 80" Also. he was SO
years old when his career as ruler
ended.
1t has often been pointed out that
the letter NJ, for better or worse,
dogged the footsteps both of Napoleon
the Great and Napoleon the Little. In
the case Of Napoleon J., 1t was Mar
boeuf who first recognized his genius
at the military college. Marengo was
his first great victory, Morlier was
his best general, Moreau betrayed him.
Marat died for him, Marie Louise
shared his fortunes, Moscow marked
the turn In those fortunes Metternich
beat him in diplomacy.
His first battle was Montenotte. his
last Mont st. Jean. He stormed Mont
martre, took Milan; Marmont deserted
him. His right-hand man was Mont
esquieu, his last resting place in
France. Malmaison. He surrendered
to Captain Maitland, and his compan-
ions at st. Helena were Montholon and
Marchand. His marshals were Mas.
sena, Mortier. Marmont, Macdonald,
Murat and Moucey, and no fewer than
twenty-six of his generals had names
beginning with NJ.
Napoleon Ill. married the countess
Of Montijo. and his most Intimate
friend was Morny, and his tutor
Moreithe of Montelimar His greatest
military successes were the capture OF
the Malakoff and the Mauselon tower
His biggest battle was Montebello, and
MacMahon won Magenta for him.
He drove the Austrians out of Mari
guano, and made his triumphal entry
into Milan. He was repulsed before
Mantua, In his last war driven bach
to the Moselle and his fate settled by
Moltke at Metz.
