WOMAN STANDS IN SHADOW OF DEATH New Pennsylvania Governor Must Act on Case of a Condemned Woman.

¶ Harrisburg, Dec 22.—Among the legacies Governor Stuart will leave for John K. Tener, his successor, when he retires from office next month, is the disposal of the case of Mrs. Kate Edwards, who is in the Berks county jail under sentence of death for the murder of her husband, about nine years ago. Because of the public sentiment stirred up at the time of her conviction against hanging a woman two governors passed up her case to their successors. ¶ Mrs. Edwards and a negro named Gleason were arrested for the murder of the husband. The colored man was a paramour of the woman and the husband declared he would kill her; so that in fear if not in a sort of self defense, she killed him one night and threw the body into a well. ¶ Mrs. Edwards and the negro were tried for murder and Gleason on a retrial was acquitted, though once convicted, but the wonan was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. Board of Pardon Interfered. ¶ Governor Pennypacker set a day for the execution, but before the date

PROOF THAT PROVES If one person more than another should know the value of medicine, it la the retail druggist. Therefore when ten thousand retail druggists of the United States recommend Vlnol, the delicious cod liver and iron tonic, without oil. as the best strengthening tonic known, and are willing to return their customers' money in every cane where It falls to give satisfaction, there can be no room for doubt. Among others, one of the most reliable druggists of Lynn, Mass., Mr. Warren Toppan. says: "From personal experience I. know what Vinol will do. I had a chronic cold all winter,

and waa so weak I could hardly get' about. Nothing seemed to help roej

until I tried Vinol the change waa magic and what surprised me most, Vinol not only cured the cold but built me up ad cured me of a severe stomach trouble that had bothered me for twenty years. Vinol is certainly a wonderful medicine." (We guaran

tee this testimonial to be genuine.)

We ask every run-down, nervous, deblliated, aged or weak person or any person suffering from chronic coughs and colds to try a hottle of Vinol with the understanding that their money will be returned ff it does not do all we claim. Leo II. Flhe, Druggist, Richmond, Indiana.

arrived an application was made to the board of pardons for the commutation of the woman's death sentence to imprisonment for life and on the night

before the execution Governor Pennypacker reprieved the woman in order that the board might hear the case. The messenger bearing the governor's reprieve arrived at the Reading jail while Mrs. Edwards was with the minister, who was administering the last rites to her. ¶ The board of pardons took up the case and then declined to commute the death sentence. This was seven years ago. It then rested with Governor Pennypacker again, to fix the day for Mrs. Edwards' execution, but he never took action. Governor Stuart likewise has not taken action and now the case descends to Governor Tener. Meantime, Mrs. Edwards has occupied a cell in the Berks county jail and is said to be a most exemplary prisoner.

AID FOR RED CROSS

The women's organizations in the Indiana Federation of Clubs. The Daughters of the American Revolution, Tubercular Societies, and smilar organizations have joined with the Red Cross in pushing the sales of the Christmas seals, in cities and towns throughout Indiana, and with all of

; these forces behind the movement, the i Red Cross is anxious to see a total of twelve or fifteen thousand dollars

! added up from over the state, the fund to be used to fight the White Plague. After the Christmas iteason is over and the money has all been turned into the Red Cross committee at Indianapolis, the distribution of the ; funds begin. The Indiana committee ; as far as possible undertakes to spend ! in each community the amount of ; money that It contributed through : purchasers of the Seals. This is not always practical and where circumstances warrant It, more money is spent in a community than the com- : munity spent for Christmas Seals. Last year Indianapolis bought $2,000 worth of the Seals, while the Red j Cross committee spent considerably less than this amount in that city, taking- some of it for use in other I communities.

The Red Cross committee is willing to spend that-portion of the funds to take care of worthy victims of the White Plague whether these patients live in city, town or on a farm. To

the committee the important thing Is to raise the money and after it is raised, it is expended where the need is greatest. The Red Cross committee spends the funds Judiciously, going thoroughly into the requirements. It consults public health officials and physicians, and it not only seeks the confidence o. the people of the st&e,

but it makes a conscientious effort to extend the money so that the largest possible number of individuals will get the benefits. The people of this town can best support the Red Cross in its work against the White Plague by purchasing of the Christmas Seals, for very seal sold at one cent means a penny added to the Red Cross Fund.
