RESPITE ONLY SAVES TRIPLE MURDERER After Long Fight to Have Death Penalty Set Aside, Hunter Gives Up.

National Nawa Association) i SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 20. Only a respite from Governor Slaton can save ' from the gallows J. C. Hunter, the' triple murderer whose fight for life has been the most remarkable in the criminal annals of Chatham county. For nearly two years Hunter has been confined in the Savannah jail

kn i . , . . . . plaint ror some time, i ne passages while eminent legal talent has work- ' ... ., I of the kidney secretions were irregud to have the verdict of death set j ,ar aml pa)nfui and ! often felt dlzzy aside. Three times he has been and weak. Being advised to try Doan's ranted a respite when almost ready : Kidney. Pills. I procured a box at A. G. to mount the gallows. Meanwhile the j Iuken Co's Dn, store and tneir

case was carried to the supreme court of Georgia, which body by a unanimous vote refused to interfere with the verdict of the trial court. Hope that Governor Slaton might grant a respite is now practically abandoned and It is generally believed that the condemned man will be executed day after tomorrow. Hunter's crime was the murder of three women in a house on Perry atreet In this city on December 10, 1909. One of the victims was his wife, from whom he was separated. The other victims of the man's jealous fury were Mrs. Eliza Gribble, 70 years old, and her daughter, Mrs. Carrie Ohlander. The three women were literally hacked to pieces with an axe. A peculiar feature of the case was the general assumption that the crime was that of a negro assailant. Following the statement of neighbors that a negro waB seen to leave the house occupied by Mrs. Gribble and her daughter, where Mrs. Hunter was living temporarily, the police began a round-up of negro suspects. Within twenty-four hours 150 negroes were taken into custody. Hunter, the husband of one of the victims, was arrested a few days after the crime. At midnight he was taken to the morgue to look upon the face of his dead wife. He was asked if he desired to kiss her and he did so. Throughout the terrible ordeal he ahowed no signs of fear or emotion other than Bobbing. Hunter's trial resulted in a verdict of guilty and a sentence of death. Then began the long legal battle to save the life of the condemned man. In February, 1910, Bingham Bryan, a negro, made his entry into the famous case, with the result that public opinion as to Hunter's guilt was considerably divided for a time. Bryan had been arrested in the general raid made on the negro quarter following the Perry street murders. Investigation of his movements brought to light nothing to connect him with the triple tragedy, but he was held in jail on a minor charge. Several months later he "confessed" to having murdered Mrs. Gribble, Mrs. Ohlander and Mrs. Hunter. According to his statement he entered the house bent on robber; and carrying a hammer as a weapon. Mrs. Gribble caught him in the kitchen. He said he struck her several tllmes with the hammer before she died. Then, he declared, the daughter run in, and after striking her down with his fist, he beat her with the hammer. As he was trying to leave the house the third woman came in and grabbed him. He said he caught her by the throat and choked her and struck her with the hammer. Bryan's confession was made in detail and at the time was generally accepted as clearing up the mystery of the murders. For more than a year the negro was kept in jail while a legal controversy waged over the question whether he or the convicted husband of Mrs. Hunter was guilty of the three murders. The battle ended finally in the release of the negro and confirmation of the verdict of guilty found against Hunter.

The glee club and quartet, which will appear here are undoubtedly two of the finest musical clubs ever sent out to represent their college. They are composed of the best singers to be found in the student body and have been trained to a high point of excellence by Professor J. A. Bendinger, of the Ohio Wesleyan School of Music. Their work is characterized by finish, precision, vivacity and at the same time, perfect blending and harmony. The boys who are members of the clubs are counted among the most popular fellows in their school, and are all fine young men who may be taken as the type of student of which Ohio Wesleyan boasts. To those unfamiliar with the methods of handling college boys, it is Interesting to know the systematic manner in which the tours of the Ohio Wesleyan clubs are conducted. Fines are exacted for delinquencies as follows: For missing a concert, $2; for being late at practice, $1; for missing a train. $2. If a man looses his voice through his own carelessness, he is shipped home at his own expense. These rules assure full attendance at every concert, and careful attention to details by each member of the clubs. "The Heart Breakers." George Daramel who will be seen in the leading role in "The Heart Breakers" the latest of musical comedies, presented under the management of Mort H. Singer, was a professional ball player before he took up the stage. He was a pitcher in the Northern League belonging to the Grand Forks base ball club and pitched against Deacon Phlllipi, who then belonged to Fargo, N. D., and is now a member of the Pittsburg Nationals. Damerel was finally drafted to the Indianapolis team of which team he is still a member as his contract has never been cancelled. He has a locker with the club. Two years ago after closing a two years continuous tour with the Merry Widow, he joined the Minneapolis team to try and get into condition for the coming season. He practised with the team every day and pitched twice against Kansas City winning bgth games. When asked why he gave up base ball as a profession he said that "He thought he would become more famous as a singer" and also that the money renumeration was bigger. Both he and Phillip! have both reached the top of their profession. Mr. Daramel is an all around athlete being a fine swimmer, and ardent fisherman and one of the best boxers on the stage. ENGLISH RULERS IN SMALLPOX DISTRICT (National News Association) LONDON. Dec. 20. A wave of alarm swept Iondon, especially in ofi fic ial circles today, upon receipt of news from Delhi that Capt. lieslie Cheaje of the English army had died in Delhi of smallpox. Fears for the safety of King George and Queen Mary, who left Delhi several days ago at the conclusion of the Durbar, were openly expressed. Additional cause for alarm that the dreaded disease might be carried beyond Delhi was contained In the fact that hundreds of thousands of visitors from ell parts of the Indian empire were in Delhi for the Durbar. It was learned, however, that the strictest precautions had been taken and that Capt. Cheape had been isolated as soon as the nature of his illness was known.

The shallow earthenware dish that holds not more than two layers of oysters makes a better scallop than the deep, old fashioned pudding dish. If more than one panful is needed there can be a second plateful in the oven ready to be slipped into the silver rim. Individual scallop dishes, or four or five large oyster shells willed with oysters and covered with bread crumbs and butter, are preferred by many. When one has been made a present of a barrel or a keg of oysters do not omit the opportunity to give an oyster roast. Invite guests that you know well and also make sure they eat oysters. Make almost the entire supper of the bivalve. Grapefruit or bouillin can be served first. Have oysters roasted in kitchen and brought in when the shells half opened. Before each plate have merted butter, an oyster fork. Bait and pepper, and an oyster knife for opening the shells. Serve with the oysters plenty of thin buttered bread, pepperslaw, small Parker House rolls and French fried or Saratoga potatoes. Coffee can be served with the supper, or later. Have a light salad endive or crisp lettuce, with cheese breads. The dessert after so filling a meal should not be rich. Ginger or mint ice in sherbet glasses is refreshing. Do not make the mistake of serving large oysters raw at a woman's luncheon. Most women prefer blue points or cherry stones. Raw oysters are more palatable on their own shell than on handsome oyster plates. They must be thoroughly chilled, and preferably should rest on a bed of shaved ice. The lemon with raw oys ters should be cut in quarters in the rind. Or In the center of the shell circle have half a lemon with the center partly filled with horseradish. It it more fashionable now to serve oyster cocktails in the shells with a small slender glass of the sauce in the center of each plate. Fried oysters for home use are more delicate when done in bread crumbs than in cracker crumbs. They should only be dipped once in the egg and crumbs, otherwise they are too stiff and crusty. Butter is a better frying medium than deep fat. For creamed oysters do not cook them "too long in the mixture or they will be tough. The edges should just shrivel. These can be served in ramekins or pate shells, and they are ex cellent when creamed in a chafing dish. When oysters are left over from stews or creamed mixtures they can be chopped and used as salad or croquette. For the former the eye must be removed, and it is better to do so for any cooking where the whole oyster is not essential. Special attraction at Coliseum, Tuesday and Wednesday evening.

CYCLIST RISKS LIFE

New York Jim Zanora. one of the best known trick bicycle riders in the United States, risks his life at every public appearance and knows how necessary it is for him to have a steady nerve and unfailing strength. The slightest weakness might cost him his life, or injure him severely, and this letter from him is of great interest on that account. He says: "I do trick bicycle riding as a professional and work hard, and so I was always tired and weak. I got so I had no strength and felt all run down, but since using three bottles of Vinol I feel fine again. I have recommended Vinol to others and they too are using it with good results." Your strength is just as valuable to you, and we want to say to you that there is nothing so good as Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron remedy without oil, for making weak and wornout people robust, rugged and well. It is good for children and old people too, and we give your money back unless Vinol does all we claim. Leo H. Fihe, Druggist, Richmond, Ind.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 20. Rear Admiral Raymond P. Rogers, a conspicuous figure in the navy, was ! placed on the retired list today on account of age. Admiral Rogers was born in the District of Columbia and is a son of the late Rear Admiral Raymond Rogers. After graduating from Annapolis In 1868 he served for some years on the European station. Subsequently he saw service with the Pacific fleet. From 1879 until 1882 he was an instructor at the naval academy and during the next two years he was connected with the bureau of navigation. From 1894 until the beginning of the war with Spain Admiral Rodgers, then a lieutenant commander, served at United States naval attache successively at Paris, St. Petersburg and Madrid. He was on the battleship Iowa durinf the naval operations in Cuba waters in 1898 and was advanced five numbers for meritorious service in the battle off Santiago. After the Spanish war Admiral Rodgers served for a time on the Asiatic station and later as a member of the general board. For the past two years he has been president of the Naval War college at Newport. Like other officers advanced for conspicuous conduct in battle during the Spanish war, Admiral Rodgers was an extra number in his grade. Consequently his retirement does not create a vacancy in the list of rear admirals. ,v SANDY'S SCRUPLES. They Almost Kept the Tourists From Getting the Boat. A couple of tourists staying at a village which is in close proximity to a well known Scottish loch had a fancy one fine Sunday to go for a row on the loch. They accordingly sallied forth in search of the boatman, whom they met just leaving his bouse, dressed iu his Sunday best and carrying a Bible under bis arm. "We want to go for a row," said one of the tourists. "Dae ye no ken it's the Sawbath?" answered Sandy. "Ye'll no' get a boat fra me the day, forby I'll hae ye tae ken that I am an elder o the kirk." "Yes, yes," expostulated the tourists, "that's all very well for you. but we don't require you with us. You can go to church; we can row ourselves." "Aye. aye," said the elder, "but jist think whit the meenister '11 say." "Never mind the minister," was the reply; "he will know nothing about it. We will pay you well." "Ah, weel," said Sandy, 'Til no let ye the boat, bit I'll tell ye whit I'll dae. Dae ye see yon wee boatie doon among the rushes? Weel. she's ready wi' the oars inside. Jist ye gang dooa there an row oot tae the middle o' the loch, an I'll come doon tae the bank an' swear at ye. Bit never ye mind; ye jlst row on an I'll call for the money on Monday." London T lions

Christmas - Spirit in The Country; A Gift Farmer Jones Received

BY ISAAC L. TOTTEN. All Christmas gifts are not presented in neat packages wrapped in fancy holly paper, tied with dainty ribbon and sealed with Santa Claus chromo stickers. All Christmas presents are not givn in thp fsnirit nf riiKtnm. the SDirit of commercialism,-or the spirit of bar-f ter. Many gifts come from the fullness of the heart; they are given in the spirit of love, and of kindness. It was a gift of this kind that came to a farmer just across the state line in Ohio not many days ago one of those true Christmas-spirit, wholehearted kind of gifts and there were no frills or fancy fixings attached to it whatever. In this neighborhood, where this farmer lives, practically all the far mers read the papers, and occasional- s ly they follow the advice given there, iu. They always heed such advice as: "Do your Christmas shopping early" and "Do not wait until the last minute to send Christmas presents." Before we tell what the gift was which the farmer received, suppose we lead up to it the way they do in the fiction stories. One day this fall while the farmer was working around an ensilage cutter, he had his hand very badly lac erated; and, with his hand in this condition, it was impossible for him to do the work about the farm that required the use of both hands. Much of the work around the place had to go un done; because, in this community where this farmer lives, the same difficulties are experienced when trying to procure help that the majority of farmers experience elsewhere. Farmer Jones, as we will call him because that is not his name, had the money with which to pay hired help if he could have gotten the help, for he is of the prosperous and progressive kind; but his money could not work, and it was as valueless to him in this instance as so much sand in his pocket. Being of a progressive nature, he worried about the way the work was being neglected, just as we all do when winter is coming with its bad weather and the fall work Is still to be done. Perhaps he would not have worried quite so much if he had been sick in bed where he could not have seen how far behind the work was getting. There was the corn standing out there in the field to be husked and it was nearly Christmas. To farmer Jones the hand seemed to heal very, very slowly. It began to look as though he would not be able to use It for a long time. Can you imagine hew he felt? Yes, we all know how we would feel in his condition, and i would not be a very satisfying feeling, would it? Some people, who never practice what they preach, tell us that we should always look on the bright side of everything; but this would be awful hard to do in a case like farmer Jones. One morning, about two weeks ago, farmer Jones was busy doing the chores that he was able to do with his one hand, when he heard several wa gons coming down the frozen road near his farm. You know what a lot of noise one wagon will make on a frosty morning, but there was nearly a dozen that farmer Jones heard. He could not imagine what so many far CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children.

mers were doing on the road together, and all of them were moving in the same direction. He knew that none of the neighbors had that many loads of hogs to sell, because nearly every one of the neighbors had lost their hogs by cholera. He stood and watched them as they came nearer. Much to his surprise they all turned into

his driveway. There were ten wagons in all and fifteen men. Farmer Jones stood there with his hand in a sling and counted them. What did they want he wondered? It was something unusual to see so many of his neighbors together with their teams and wagons at this season of the year if it had been threshing time he wouldn't have been surprised in the least. They soon made their mission known; they had come over to present to neighbor Jones a gift that was not of the custom, commercial- j ism or barter variety their services to husk his corn. Can you imagine the lump swelling in farmer Jones throat? Can you not see the moisture come to his eyes? Can you not feel as he felt standing there with his lips quivering unable to utter a sound? These neighbors, who had come to help another neighbor, were not bound to do so by any fraternal pledge or obligation. They came be cause they possessed that whole hearted brotherhood of man feeling, and the spirit of true neigh borliness the spirit that represents our kind of Christianity. It was nothing more nor less than following the teachings of Him whose birth we celebrate on Christmas day. These neighbors did not do this be cause they expected remuneration; they did not do this because they expected neighbor Jones to come over and help them next year. There are some things that are not commercialized, and this was one of them. Not one of those farmers could have been hired to come there to husk corn they had too much work to do at home to be day laborers for hire and seldom did they work as they did on this day at neighbor Jones'. Time was of no value here; they did not even get tired. Does it not seem good to hear of instances like this one? Does it not look as though a change was coming, and that the spark of hospitality which has been lying dor mant during the past few decades of money madness, is being fanned into flame again? Think of the influence for good this one incident must have on the Utterly Wretched Nervous Prostration Long Endured Before Remedy was Found. Miss Minerva Reminder, Upper Bern. Pa., writes: "For several years I had nervous prostration, and was utterly wretched. I lived on bread and beef tea because my stomach would not retain anything: else. I took many remedies, but obtained no relief until I took Hood's Sarsaparllla, when I began to grain at once. Am now cured." Pure, rich blood makes good, strong nerves, and this Is why Hood's Sarsaparllla, which purifies and enriches the blood, cures so many nervous diseases.
