BOSTON, Jan. 18 The Rev. C. V.
T. Richeson's counsel have abandon
ed hope of clemency for the condemn
ed minister, self-confessed murderer
of his discarded sweetheart, Avis Lin

ing the executive council to refuse
commutation to Silas Phelps, who was
executed last week for the murder of
Sheriff Haskins.
Governor Foss found that seven of
the nine members of the council be
lieved in enforcing the electrocution
law, as long as it remains on the
statutes, and thousands of letters urg
ing the execution of Richeson have
been received by Governor Foss.
Richeson's attorneys admit that pub

ALMOST A
TRAGEDY
By GEORGE C BATEMAN
One Saturday afternoon, not having
anything better to do, I went to a
vaudeville show in which trained birds,
trained animals and trained human be
ings performed tricks. There was a
young married couple among the per
formers who excited more interest
than any of the others. They were
both experts with the rifle. The hus
band would first shoot a bullet into an
apple resting on his wife's head; then
the wife would do the same with ref
erence to her husband. The room was
not darkened, for the day was clear,
and tbe sun shone in through the west
windows." The husband first played
William Tell, his wife playing Albert;
then the wife played Tell to her hus
band's Albert.
I had but recently come in from the
far west and had been obliged again
and again to do all kinds of shooting.
In a place where a man's life is con
stantly dependent upon the sureness of
his aim he becomes very expert, but
there is no one who more fully realizes
the danger of trying to shoot near
gome one without hitting him. These
are the reasons why my heart stood
still every time one of this couple fired
at tbe apple on the other's head. Had
they been enemies, each trying to get
in the first shot, it wouldn't have trou
bled me a bit
They began their performance by the
husband shooting at the apple on the
wife's head. Wild west man that I was,
my heart stood still till it was over.
Then the husband took position to be
shot at, and his wife did the shooting.
I was watching them from a rear
seat Indeed, I sat several rows back
of any one else. I had come from a
country where persons were fond of
elbow room, and I didn't like sitting in
th crowd. The wife was taking aim
at the apple and I was feeling all
wrought up over it when suddenly I
saw a little spot of sunlight flash on
her face. At the same moment she
pulled the trigger. Giving a shriek,
she fell on the floor. Her husband ran
np to her and took her in his arms.
Now, the cause of this show that
was not down on the bills flashed upon
me at once. Some one had thrown a
ray of sunlight from glass or polished
metal in tbe wife's eye just ns she was
about to fire. Turning my glance aside.
I saw a man putting something in his
vest pocket. The sunlight pouring
through a windo shone on him
There was a curious look on his face
of dread, revenge, disappointment, all
mingled in one. I knew I had struck
an unwritten story a story that had
barely escaped being a tragedy.
I sat perfectly still, keeping one eye
on what was going on on the stage, the
other on my man by the window. As
soon as his wife recovered from her
swoon the husband announced to the
audience that something had inter
fered with his wife's aim. but for
tunately she had filed too high; he
was unhurt. Some of the audience
were contemptible enough to call "Try
again," but the little woman was un
nerved, and she and her husband left
the stage.
They had scarcely gone when the
man by he window got up and went
out I did the same and shadowed him
to n saloon which he entered and got
something to steady his nerves. I went
in myself since I didn't want to lose
him.
If ever the devil was in one he
was In me then. - The man saw me
looking at him and, having taken his
drink, vent out and walked down the
street. He looked back and saw me
following him. Then he went on till
tbe street became a road with a wood
on either side. -
I hadn't got used to going without
my weapon yet I had tried to and
found it like going without a bunch of
keys or a knife in one's pocket that
had always been there. I had it with
me now. When the man got away
from houses he turned and said to me
sharply:
"Why are you following me?"
"I want to shoot a chip off your
head."
"A lunatic?"
"Maybe. Pick Up that chip beside
you and put it on your head."
I saw him feeling for a weapon, but
before he could get it out I had him
covered and ordered him to throw up
bis hands, which he did. Then when
I had convinced him that he was in
my power I made him pick up the chip
and put it on his head. He did so, and
I knocked it off with a bullet I made
him put it back on his head again, but
this time instead of knocking it off I
cut off a part of bis ear.
He was In an abject terror. I asked
him how be would like to put a ray of
sunlight in my eye to see whether it
would injure my aim. He turned white
as a sheet. I -kept on shooting, put
ting every bullet within an inch or two
f him, till I had fired five shots. Then
I slipped cartridges in the empty
chambers. I hit him several times in
fleshy parts of his body, theu told him
to go, and if he ever interfered with,
the couple again I would kill him. He
was glad to get away with his life.
That evening I called on tbe young
couple, told them that I had seen a
man throw the sunlight in the wife's
eyes and described him. They knew
at once who he was and told me all
about the matter between them, but it
is too long a story to tell here. I told
the young man to let the follow alone.
He wouldn't likely trouble him again.
"But if he does," I added, "just you
send for me."
St. Peter's In Rome.
In Rome fifteen architects succeeded
one another in the construction of St
Peter's during the pontificates of
twenty-eight popes and during a pe
riod of 176 years. According to the
calculation of Carlo Fontana, the cost
of the building, exclusive of the
bronze used, was over $60,000,000. It
takes' $50,000 a year to keep the. edi
fice in repair. ...

SKIRT NEWNESS.
A Smart Model
In Magpie Effect.
PSTTIOOAT IS BLACK AND WHITE SILK
Fashion prefers little fullness in the
silk underskirt In many instances
the knitted tights are used in prefer
ence to skirts of any kind.
Skirts are all straight and narrow in
effect, but there's a tendency In the
high class lines to slash at intervals
at the foot, presumably to add to the
walking comfort of the wearer. The
striped silk petticoat seen in the illus
tration is cut on the newest lines.
Black and white is the smart color
scheme.
Unconventionalitiee.
"I'll do the best I can to make a
musician of your boy, madam, but
he'd succeed better as a window
washer."
"I like the candy you bring me, Mr.
Squallop, but your company bores me
beyond measure."
"Maria, there's going to be trouble
if you don't take your cold feet away
from the small of my back!"
"You know well enough. Uncle Jona
than, that we wouldn't entertain as
disagreeable a man as you are if you
weren't rich and childless."
"Rinkle. you and I would get along
all right if you'd move to some neigh
borhood where I never could see you."
"Bobby, when yon go home will you
please tell your mamma that I think
she ought to wash your face at least
once or twice a week?"
For the Table.
Quite the latest and most approved
appointment for the table is a coffee
set of glass and copper.

Shadow Lace Veil.
The new shadow lace veiling Is very
charming and quickly gaining a place
in the world of fashion. This hits the
happy medium between the too heavily
patterned and often disfigured lace
veil and tbe anything but smart veil
ings made of open silk mesh which are
very trying to all complexions. The
new shadow veils are delicately pattern
ed in a fine web effect, and some of the
most becoming of all show a fine and
delicately traced pattern in black silk
on a pale pink tulle background that
does much to enhance the beauty of
any complexion that is apt to suffer
disfigurement during the cold weather
The Bar Brooch.
In every collection of beautiful orna
ments the bar brooch finds a place. It
is very long and absolutely rigid and Is
ornamented in various ways. One pat
tern is set closely with emeralds and
rubles alternating." and another is a
flashing rivulet of brilliants from end
to end. A third has a large pearl in
the center flanked by pearls of dwin
dling sizes to the tiniest possible gems
at the ends.
Then again there is the absolutely
plain gold bar brooch, which Is used
for various purposes, from fixing the
squash hat in its place to securing thn
one sided Jabot.
Useful Hints.
A cloth dipped in salt and rubbed on
frosted windows will remove the thick
est frost almost instantly. It may be
news to some women to bear that 9
piece of bread burnt to a crust will re
move grease on cloth if rubbed upon
the spot, following the nap of the cloth.
It is also said that if the head of a
match, after being lighted and then
blown out. is applied to a stain from
paint the spot will disappear.

Mrs. Morse, who arrived here today
from New York, was informed late
this afternoon of the President's clem
ency. She left tonight for Atlanta to
join her husband. As she boarded the
train she was radiant but declined to
discuss the action of President Taft.
The authorities at Atlanta have been
informed by telegraph of the Presi
dent's action.
Efforts for a complete pardon were
unavailing and under the law Morse
could not be paroled until he had serv
ed five years. His friends wish to
take him to Carlabad for treatment,
and he probably will be taken abroad
at once.
ATTELL TOYS WITH

NEW YORK Jan. 18 Abe Attell
bested "Knockou"t Brown in a ten
round fight at the National Sporting
Club tonight, Brown being unable to
land to any advantage. Attell had
Brown groggy in a mixup in the tenth
round.
Brown forced the fighting through
out, but Attell's defense was impene
trable, all of Brown's blows going for
naught.
In the first round Attell toyed with
the local lightweight and not a heavy
blow was struck. In the second At
tell landed several uppercuts without
a return and closed one of Brown's
eyes and badly damaged the other.
LOYALTY TO TRUTH.
The truth which in our calm and
sober hours we have accepted we
ought not to let go because in hours
of trial and darkness we cannot see
it Cling to it still and you will see
it again by and by. There is such
a thing as loyalty to truth, which is
noble. It is good to trust in God,
jn goodness, in eternal right, in the
triumph of truth over evil, when we
do not see how or understand why.

APPLE DEMAND IS
GREATER THAN SUPPLY
With a good general demand, apple
stocks in all quarters are said to be
growing steadily smaller, and a strong
market for the remainder of the sea
son is regarded as a certainty. Very
little of the fruit now remains in first
hands, and warehouse - and storage
stocks are reported to be much lighter
than at this time a year ago. No price
changes were announced, $1.25 to $3
a box being the general range, but a
lift is counted on for the near future.
The orange market shows a firmer
tone as a consequence of the serious
damage said to have been done to the
crop by recent frosts. .There is yet a
good deal of uncertainty as to the
extent of the injury, but in some parts
of California it is reported that ap
proximately half of the crop was ruin-
wed. The frosts are supposed to have
woritea similar injury to tne lemon
crop in that part of the country.
