DOUBLE EXECUTION
KtSULT OF SENSATIONAL

Slia Shot and Killed Joseph Sonta
lloili Vlutlnu of the Criminal
Laws of New Jersey Were Italians,
and Also TImmo Thoy Murdered.
Hackensack, N. J.,' Jan. 1J. Th
Hackeii8uck Jul! was the scene of a
double execution by hanging thl
morning. The delinquent were Mrs.
Antolnetta Tolla, who shot and killed
Joseph Sonta, her next door neighbor.
In Klngsland, where she lived, while
he was talking to his son and Mr
Tolla, at the latter'g house, and Jerry
ilosa, also an Italian, who was con
vleted of having shot and killed two
other Italians at Lodl Heights. Both
crimes had been committed several
years ago, and the murder trials
which were taken through several
courts until they were finally decided
adversely In the supreme court, were
highly sensational and attracted con
idcrable attention at the time.
Particularly the case of Mrs. Tolla
waa Interesting owing to the peculiar
circumstances of the case. The Tol
las and Rnntas were next door neigh
bors and apparently on the very best
of terms. It appears, however, that
Sonta, who hud a young son, and
with him frequently visited the Tollns.
had dared to make love to Mrs. Tolla.
What passed between Sonta and Mrs.
Tolla Immediately preceding the mur
der. Is not known, and probably will
never become known.
On the day ot the murder Mrs. Tolla
was out, visiting Mrs. Sonta, while
Mr. Sonta and his son were at Tolla's
bouse, talking to Mrs. Tolla's hus
band In the friendliest manner. When
Mrs. Tolla returned from her visit,
she passed through the room In
winch the two men and the boy were
talking, went Into her bedroom, and,
riilurnlng a moment later with a pli
tol, walked Up close to Sonta and shot
lilm while he was sitting In his choir.
Various motives were assumed to
explain the deed. One, which found
more believers than all others, was,
that the woman, fearing the persistent
attentions of Ronta, and determined to
protect the sanctity of her home at
any cost, killed her too ardent admirer
after an Intimate talk with Ronta's
-wire.
The most determined efforts were
made to save Mrs. Tolla from the gal
lows and thu courts and the governor
were flooded with appeals from all
parts of the country. P. W. Stagg. the
counsel for Mrs. Tolla, left no stone
unturned to prevent the execution ol
his client, but neither his efforts nor
the strong sentiment of the public
ngnlnst the executlop of the woman,
particularly since the gruesome exhi
bition at the hanging of the negro
Tnplcy. could avert the condemned
woman's fate. The board of pardons
as well as the governor, refused to
interfere.

comparatively game, nlthough the wo
man seemed scarcely sensible of what
she was doing-. The execution pass
ed without a bitch and there seemed
to be no prolonged agony. It ta un

Father Lambert.

NO 'MILEAGE FOR ARMY.
Trnvnl Tinier Ortlevs Continually in-

Washington, Jan. 12. The army Is
hi a bad way on account of lack of
mileage. Despite 'tt.e attempt at
economy In the travel of officers and
the strict rules which were laid down
to limit such travel .to cases of ne
cessity, thene hns been more travel by
inaiviuuni oincers under orders en
titling them to mileage than ever be
fore except In times af war.
Tlie expenditures are destined to
exceed those of the year when there
were large army and militia maneuv
ers In the cast and west and on which
account a loan of 25,000 waa expend
ed to pay the mileage or numerous
officers who traveled to and from the
scene of operations. This year there
have been no maneuvers and econ
omy was exacted by the authorities.
There Is already In sight a deficiency
of $100,000, which will brlag the an
nual expenditure of mileage for the
army in this fiscal year up to 1600.
000. Some idea of the demands In this
respect may be obtained by the fact
that on January 1, the chief paymas
ter of the department' of the east at
Governor's Island, received $4000 to
meet the mileage bills presented In the
month. He reported two days later
that the money had been paid ou and
all remaining bills of the month will
have to await the allotment of addi
tional funds. The result will be that
many army officers will have to wait
considerable time for the settlement of
their mileage account.
Lot Tokwna.
Toe ancient English custom of giving
love tokens on the 20th of August died
out many years ago. The custom was
for "enamoured maydes and gentle
women" to give to their favorite swains
s tokens of love little handkerchiefs
three or four Inches square, with a but
ton or tassel ,at each corner and a
small one In the center. The finest ot
these favors was edged with narrow
gold lace or twist und then folded
up In four cross folds so that the
middle might be seen. They were worn
by the fortunate swains In their huts
or on the truant The favors were gen
erally the handiwork of the "fulre
muyde" herself, and well she liked to
work the most beautiful figures she
could for her fuvorlte suitor, but tbey
became so much in vogue in Queen
Elizabeth's time that they were sold
ready made In the shops. This, of
course, destroyed the romance of the
custom, aud hence Its death.
Trapping; the l'araon.
As William Morris was an English
man, It may not soem remarkable to
Americans that he did not always get
hU Jokes right end 11 rut. In a biog
raphy of her hnsband Mrs. Edward
Biinie-Jones tells of the ease with
which ho reversed them.
They had all been asking conun
drums. "Who killed his brother Cain?" asked
Burne-Joues.
Morris fell Into the trap at once.
"Abel!" he shouted.
Later In the day he came In laugh
ing. "I trapped the purson, by Jove!" he
exclaimed. "I asked him, 'Who killed
his brother Abel?'
" 'Cain,' he said at once.
"'Ha!' I suld. 'I knew you'd Bay
that Every one does.' I came away
and left him puzzled enough, and I
doubt IT he's found out yet what the
matter was."
Sharks Delicate In Captivity.
Sharks are ruther delicate In eaptlv
Ity, ud It Is dllliculty to keep them
In aquariums. Whatever care may be
bestowed upon them tbey do not seem
to be able to stand confinement how
ever large the tank or pool may be.
In icaptivlty sharks swim round and
round the tank, nine times out of tea
taking one course and never reversing.
A shark has been known to keep its
course for three or four months with
out chsnge and, except for food, never
baiting, so fur as It was observed. It
would keep going all day long and
would be found going In the morning
Just the same. If food was placed In
Its way, It would stop for several oilu
utes and eat remaining headed the
somo way. Presently It would start
on again in the same direction on Its
rounds, moving slowly unless dis
turbed.
Necessities af m Happr Lire.
There are two fundamental necessi
ties for a happy life namely, a useful
occupation for mind and body and an
outlet for unselfish affection. The first
requisite for enduring happiness is in
having work to do In which one be
lieves. Such work always alms at the
accomplishment of something useful,
hile this work must be done with
fair efficiency, It should not be eccom
panted with too much drudgery or ex
haustloa.
The simpler the plan ou which one's
living is modeled the less will be the
complications and disturbances -caused
by an orerelaborate scale of existence
and the more time will be left for the
real duties and pleasures of life. From

'We imported last ear about the
following amounts, and I will give you
the different countries from which
we brought it. We Irsvuorted about
100.000 tons from Porto Ttlco, and the
statistic show thnt thiy produced
14 5.000 tons there. From the Hawai
ian Islands we Imported from 350,000
to 370. 00 tons. From Cuba and all
other countries, 1.760,000 tons.
'Wo produced from cane In this
country about 300.000 tons and from
sugar beets 300,000 tons, or In the
neighborhood of a total of all of
about 2,800.000 tons, and of this 1,-
750.000 tons which were Imported last
year, let me show you what statis
tics say about the amount that came
from Ciba. I give the calendar year,
not the fiscal year. One million two
hundred and thirty-two thousand five
hundred and eighty-nine tons came
from Cuba.
"At the time Cuban reciprocity was
before this house for consideration It
was claimed by the friends of that
measure that there never could be
produced enough sugar In Cuba to
affect the market In the United States.
At the time that bill was first Intro
duced thoy produced about 615.000
tons In Cuba. Tho opponents of this
measure claimed that they had suf
ficient lands suitable for the produc
tion of cane In Cuba to produce
about one-half the sugar used by the
entire world, and I think everything
hns been proven to carry out the cor
rectness of that assertion, .
