ORDEAL PLANNED .FOR STEIMHEIL French Police WHI Rehearse Details of Crime Before Her. MURDERESS IS UNMOVED.

WOMAN, ALLEGED TO BE THE 8LAYER OF PRESIDENT FAURE, HEAR8 OF PLAN WITH CONTEMPTUOUS SMILE. Paris, Dec. 21. With all the traeic effect of a real crime, the murder of M. Stelnheil and Madame Jeppy, who were strangled to death In their apartments last summer, -will be re-enacted under the direction of the prefect of police week, with Mme. Stelnheil as the sole spectator. The ghastly death chamber scene will be pictured In detail. The assassin, entering and peering furtively about In the darkness; the clutch of his fingers upon the throts of his victims; their cries of anguish and tho tell-tale blood which betrayed violent deathall will be carried out with coldblooded precision. While the Parisian police have failed utterly in their efforts to have Mme. Stelnheil confess knowledge of the tnurder of her husband and mother-in-law, the authorities believe nevertheless that she is withholding Information which would assist them materially in unraveling the mystery surrounding the crime. As a last resort they decided upon a reconstruction of the crime. If this does not wring from the woman a confession they will confess themselves beaten by an iron nerve of such phenomenal strength as to be unshaken by human effort. All through the present week, Mme. Stelnheil has faced the Inquisition without flinching. The interrogations poured upon her ears by the police and the examining magistrates have eovered every avenue through which they might' lead to the weak spot, fhey have been defeated in every turn. Today the final rehearsal was held for the reconstruction for the melodramatic Stelnheil murder. A man whose likeness to the late artist M. Steinheil ts striking, will figure In the role of the strangled husband and a woman disguised to represent Mme. Jeppy will succumb as did that unfortunate lady. Mme. Steinheil heard of the preparations with a contemptuous mile. She Is determined upon a course of silence; no matter how nerveracking may be the ordeal through which she must pass. "The reconstruction," as the Parisian press calls the strange system, the police use has taken first place in the public news. Even war, doubtless, would take second place to the sensational stories surrounding the mysterious prisoner. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.

Groom Quits Kissing; Now Bride Is Missing "Baby" Makes Hubby Cold, and Now She Has Left Their Utile Fold.

New York, Dec. 21. Here Is a poetic question affecting the newly wedded which was answered by a young New Jersey housewife: Suppose you were a "Mrs." Who appreciated kisses, And your husband scrimped and hoarded his supply; Would you stand for such privations, Such a cut in Cupid's rations. Would you? Or would you pack your grip and say "By-by"? Suppose you loved him madly, Gave up home and mother gladly, And made a home for him in Jersey's wirlds; Would you live upon the Erie If he tired of Baying "Dearie"? Would you? This Young Woman Wouldn't, Not if you were a spunky little woman like Mrs. Helen O. Rogers, late of Hasbrouck Heights, N. J. Mrs. Rogers has left her husband and is suing him for separation, principally because of the famine in kisses. The young couple are socially prominent in Hasbrouck Heights, and news of their separation is occasioning gossip there. Mr. Rogers, who is a statistician and private accountant for the United States Steel corporation, took his bride to the little Jersey town immediately after their marriage, three and a half years ago. For a year or so they were so- happy! Then, according to Mrs. Rogers, when a small son arrived, Rogers began to cut down greetings he former KIDNAP GIRL; OIL LEASE Indian Girl Spends a Month in Fairyland. Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 21. Because she possessed a lease which half a dozen oil companies sought, Susie Turner, a Tahlequah Cherokee Indian girl who lacked one month of being eighteen years old, has spent that month in fairyland. Kidnaped at night on a street of Tahlequah and "driven forty-five miles In a race to catch a train, the young Indian girl was hustled into a Pullman stateroom on the Katy Flyer, hurried out of Oklahoma, married to her sweetheart on the train, wined, dined and entertained at the expense of one of the oil companies and has just been returned to Oklahoma, eighteen years old, Mrs. Moses Harris, and legally able to sign over a, lease to the oil 'men. The Holdenville Oil Company sprang the coup and now . holds the lease. PUBLIC RIDICULE. The Tfmo When It Served as Punish ment For Lawbreakers. It Is the problem of all ages to mate the punishment fit the crime, but they seem to have come nearer its solution tn Plantagenet times than they ever were after the Introduction of flogging. When burglary meant the total ruin of the man who kept his whole fortune In his house the burglar was bnnged. But In the same period public ridicule served as a punishment for most crimes, and the man who soid bad meat was placed, in the pillory and his bad meat burned to windward of him; the vintner who sold bad wine was forced to drink some of It and the rest was poured over his head; for more 'serious offenses the criminal had j to walk along Cheapside bareheaded, dressed only in a shirt and carrying a wax taper, escorted by the mayor's sergeants. . The result was that law and order were maintained far better than when men became brutalized by the horrible hoggings of Georgian times. Punishments became worse with religious persecutions, and after the refj ormation the pillory, with its terrible accompaniment of slit ears, whippings. etc., became popular, to say nothing of torturing, burning at the stake, and so on. At St. Thomas' hospital one of the sisters, "for a grave offense, contrarie to ye lawe of God and according to the proffe of three wytnesses," was ordered to "be punished and have xil strypes well laid on." But all this, bad as It was. was less demoralizing than the terrible criminal code of George II.'s reign, when there were forty-eight crimes punishable by death and forty punishable by whipping, transportation or pillory. Flogging for mere vagrancy began with Henry VIII, and as late as 1S04 six women were publicly whipped at Gloucester for this unavoidable offense. And never did public morality sink so low. In those good old days we flogged our sallormen "to encourage the others," and there were many trussed at the triangles who would now be simply admonished. A pleasant form of punishment was "flogging through the fleet." It was given to the ignorant sallorman who struck a superior officer. And when he had been carried from one ship to another and flogged In each he survived if he was unfortunatefor six months. The lucky man died accidentally. London Chronicle.

ly had bestowed upon her. His affections sank to even a lower ebb after the advent of their second child, a blue eyed daughter. Soon after this, Mrs. Rogers says, "He became altogether too grouchy to live with". "Grouch" Started With First Baby. The climax of the couple's married difficulties came about August when Mrs. Rogers took her two children for a visit to her mother. While she was away "something" transpired she will not make public yet just what it was which made her decide that a permanent separation was absolutely necessary. Mrs. Rogers is stopping at the home of her mother In Kingsbridge. When interviewed yesterday she said: "Mr. Rogers is a Boston man. I am a southerner. After two years of persistent wooing on his part I became his bride. During the first year we were happy. Mr. Rogers, however, is a man who should never have married, as he does not want to assume the ordinary responsibilities of married life. "When our first baby came he developed a grouch that made me miserable. I tried to smooth things over, but he grew worse every day. And when little Mildred was born he became almost unbearable." "How long Is It since Mr. Rogers called you a pet name?" queried the reporter. Mrs. Rogers shook her head. "It's so long," she said, "that I hardly believe he would remember."

AMERICAN MOTHER STARTLES Nurse Barred by Duchess de Chaulnes. Paris, Dec. 21. Paris society, particularly the American colony, is smiling over a little story going the rounds about the Duchess de Chaulnes, formerly Miss Theodora Shonts. According to intimate friends of the Duchess, she has brought into the life of the French aristocracy American ideas regarding a mother's duty to her children, thereby causing vast astonishment. It is the custom here in high society for hired nurses to take charge of a baby immediately after its birth and bring it up for the mother. But the independent American duchess has informed the titled relatives of her late husband that she is in no need of a nurse to give the young Due de Chaulnes nourishment; that she will attend to that herself. It is said that the old Duchess d'Uzes, the head of the family, is greatly shocked at such a procedure, which in France Is confined to the peasantry or the bourgeoise. But the young mother met all objections and she now nurses the child, whom she barely permits to be out of her sight 'This ballooning is of no use.

Disappointed in Love, She Donned Men's Clothes. Manhattan, Mont., Dec 21. "Sammy" Williams, the woman who masqueraded as a man for nearly half a century In different parts of the West, her secret being discovered only after she was dead, was disappointed in love as a girl, and for that reason left her home and donned male attire. She became engaged, but her parents objected to her marrying. She then ran away from home and put on a man's apparel. Once she determined to visit her old home and went there disguised as a tramp. She kept her secret so , skilfully that her parents and nearest relatives never knew It was 'she who had called on them until after she left. j Following the death of this strange ' character a few days ago, her friends endeavored to trace her.
