CONDEMNED WOMAN CALLED A BAD ONE
Countrywomen of Mrs. Napoli litana Are Willing to See Her Executed. Bault Ste. Marie, Ont. July 11. Hundreds of thousands of sympathetic and perhaps ill informed woraf-n of the United States are vitally interested in the case of Mrs. Angeline Napolitana, who Is to die on the gallows for the murder of her husband, Pietro, one month after she becomes a mother. The execution was postponed until afthe stork's visit. Regardless of anything save that she Is a woman and about to become a mother, the women of the United States demand that Angeline Napolitana shall not banc Thus the warm hearted, emotional women of tho United States are deluging Canadian authorities with petitions for the pardon or commutation of the sentence of Mrs. Napolitana, while the colder women of Canada seem to be quite content to let Mrs. Napolitana hang. Makes White Slave Charge. Mrs. Napolitana accuses her husband of trying to Induce her to become a white slave for 'financial gain. She killed him, she says, because he sought to morally enslave her. For this she Is being lauded as a "noble woman" and Napolitana is being called "an Inhuman monster." While It Is true that at her trail Mrs. Napolitana's attorney did urge : that Napolitana had tried to induce his twlf to become a moral outcast, and while Mrs. Napolitana herself testified at her troal that Napolitana had broaiched the subject to her, there is abundant circumstantial evidence which would tend to diminish the weight of this direct evidence. When she was irst arrested and at her preliminary hearing when she did not have an attorney, MrB. Napolitana did not mention the "white Blave" feature of the case. Investigation reveals that IMetro Napolitana was not a bad man. In his stupid peasant way he seems to have been a average good father to his children and an average good husband to his wife. Italians Call Her Wicked. His countrymen, of whom there are some 3,000 In this town of 12,000, insist that he was a very good man and that Mrs. Napolitana Is a very wicked woman. Her countrymen will not have anything to do with her. Contrary to their almost Invariable custom, they will not subscribe a cent toward her support or defense. Yet it is the Italian custom to come forward very lib erally when one of their countrymen or women And themselves at odds with the law. The Italians hold that she slew her husband while he slept and that her only reason for so doing was that she hated him and preferred another Ital lan, Nicola Nish, to him. PETITIONS HERE. Asking for Reprieve of Condemned Italian Woman. Numerous petitions asking the Can adlan government to reprieve Mrs. Na politana's sentence from death to life Imprisonment are in this city and are being signed by hundreds of men and women.

Dynamite. h latent power of dynamite Is ter tlflc, bat Its direction is simply a ques tion of ordinary Intelligence. As a matter of fact, dynamite is safer to handle and use than ordinary gunpow der, with which all are familiar. No general rule can be laid down for the use of dynamite, as there are many kinds and each kind made for a par ticular purpose. Uowever, an enor mous amount of data has been com piled, and specific directions for the use of each grade of the explosive are furnished by dynamite makers and dealers. National Magazine. Derivation of Gibraltar. In 711 A. D. the Arabs crossed the uarrow strait of Gibraltar and established themselves around the famous rock whose name is derived from their leader. Field Marshal Tarik was one of the leaders of the Arab invasion of Spain. Uebel is an Arabic word meaning mountain. The great rock, which Is by far the most conspicuous object' along the shores of the strait, was accordingly named after Taxlk. Gebel el Tarik, or the mountain of Tarlk. It Is easy to see bow this naa became changed Into its present form, Gibraltar.
GRANDMA ASSAULTED By Grandson, Police Gath
ered Him In. While under parole of the Wayne circuit court, where he was arraigned and plead guilty to grand larceny a few weeks ago, Howard Hunt, 18 years old. was this morning arrested at 330 South U street, the home of his 73 year old grandmother, by Patrolman Vogelsong. First he drove his grandmother from the house, then upset Heeral tubs of washing in the yard, and following these acts he locked her in the house and hurled different articles of household furniture at her head. He is charged with violating a parole. His last offense was to steal $100 from his grandmother's house. The money, the property of the boy's moth er, was locked in a writing desk ana s said to have Leen the life's savings of the woman. The boy never works, but spends his time, according to the police, in "sporting" and smoking cigarets. The police hope he will be sent to the state reformatory. The Scrap Book Ha Got tho Koy. A night clerk iu a fashionable hotel sat dozing at his desk along about 2 o'clock in the morning when a man faultlessly nttired in evening clothes entered the lobby. He steadied himself for a moment, and then with a brave attempt to assume a dignified air he approached the desk as if laboriously trying to walk a chalk line. Then he ad dressed the clerk"I'm Missei Fergshun. Gimft 44." "I'M MISSER FERO- The Still filecpj buuw." dcrji handed Mr Ferguson the key, and the guest dis appeared in the direction of his room, which was on the next floor, only one short flight up. In about ten minutes a badly messed up man in bis shirt sleeves, with a flattened silk bat on the side of his head and with one shoe on a foot and another shoe In his band, came in and lurched up to the desk and said to the startled clerk: "I'm M i s s e r Fergshun. drain e key to forfor." "You're not Mr. Ferguson." said the now wide awake clerk. "Mr. Ferguson took his key and "GIMME KEY TO FOR-FOK." went up to his room ten minutes ago.

"Soon after our marriage my wife and I went to live In an east end flat, where everything was lovely except the janitor service, and that was abomjnable," said a Cleveland man. "The janitor was one of these fellows too big for their jobs. He reckoned hlmseif superior in every way to th people he was paid to serve. "One night in midwinter when w bad company all semblance of warmth went out of our rooms, and we sat there and shivered like all get out. I was hopping mad. and when I had finally located the janitor I ripped him up the back from Jericho to breakfast. " 'Well. he said tantalizingly, 'what are you going to do about it?'

VOICE FROM DEAD
HEARD AT INQUIRY Affidavit of Deceased Offi cial of Sugar Trust Was Read Today. (National News Association) Washington, July 11. A voice from the dead was heard at the hearing of Hardwick committee investigating the Sugar Trust today. An affidavit by Gustave Kissel, a New York banker, made while on his deathbed, was introduced by T. S. Fuller, counsel for the Ameri can Sugar Refining Company at the re quest of William F. Guthridge, Kissel's attorney. In this statement. Kissel positively denied that he had ever been connec ted with 'the American Sugar Refining company and had never been employed by that company. Kissel was indicted along with officers of the American Sugar reining company on a charge of conspiracy in restraint of trade, growing out of the absorption of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company by the American company in 1903. 2 E Robert M. Parker, manager of the American Sugar Refining company, took the stand. "Does the American Sugar Refining company get any concessions from the railroads?" asked Hardwick. "It does not,' said the witness. I do not want to go to jail." Parker testified the American company loses $50,000 annually by prepaying freight rates on sugar. "Why do you pursue a method whereby you lose this sum each year?" asked the chairman. "It is the only simple way of handling freight rates," said Parker. ' In other words it is the only simple way of handling railroads," said Hardwick. "So, I do not mean that. It expedites handling freights." "You get the best you can, do you not?" asked hardwick. "No, I will not say we do. We are smart enough to know the railroads must have a return for the rates." The witness said he was employed by H. O. Havemeyer to be traffic manager of the American Refining Co., and that prior to this employment he was general freight agent of the Erie railroad. "What was your salary when you were first employed?" asked representative Raker. "Thirteen thousand dollars," said Parker. "What is your salary now?" "Twenty-five thousand dollars per year," replied the witness. WOULD LYNCH NEGRO Ohio Mob Wanted Revenge for Attack on Girl. Massillon, O., July 11.

NEWTON COUNTY HAS A BIG SENSATION (Palladium Special) Kintland, Ind., July 11. Citizens of Newton County are agog over what has developed to be a deep laid plot for the abduction of Amanda Peregrine, 15, of Lee, Jasper County, for the purpose of a clandestine marriage with John Jenkinson, 18, of Mtayr. Mrs. Jenkinson, mother of John, visited a daughter at Lee and met the Peregrine girl early last week. Taking a fancy o her she pursuaded her to leave home and accompany her to Mtayr, arriving there she was introduced to her son, who is known to be rather feeble minded but who nevertheless liked her. As a means of bringing about a hasty marriage the girl was told that her father was greatly angered at her act and wa scorning for her. The only avenue of escape was pictured to be a marriage with the son John and this was accomplished in a hasty trip to St. Joe, Michigan. The Jenkinsons are extremely poor people and nearly the entire year subjects of charity and this latest fool-hardy escapade has been causing no little sensation. The prosecuting attorney has been asked to look into the affair and the father of the girl has already taken steps to have the marriage annulled.
