j NLE5S the newly
created board of
pardons of Georgia
shall grant the pe
titions of the wo
men of Georgia for
a commutation of
the sentence of
Mrs. Elizabeth S'o
blcs that woman
will be excei'.teil
by due process of
Jaw. Mrs. Nobles was tried, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged for the
murder of her husband. She killed
lilm with an ax In ISM. The supreme
court of the United States has refused
her application for a new trial on the
ground that at her trial the question
of her sanity was never raised. The
court holds It Is now too late to raise
the question for the purpose Indicated.
More Is involved In this matter than
the mere disposition of th" case of
Mrs. Nobles. The point most Interest
ing to the people of the state Is the
exemption of women from the death
penalty. The petitions arc all based
on the theory that no court of that
stato should condemn a female to
hang. Mrs. Nobles was sentenced fn
the superior court of Atlanta to this
death and now the only hope of pre
venting Its execution Is to bring such
pressure on the new board of pardons
ns will result In commutation. All ap
plications for executive clemency must
now be larld before this board. Peti
tions are being circulated nnd. it Is
nald, extensively signed by the wom:i
of the Mate, asking that the sentcn?o
'in made llfo imprisonment or su.''i
other term as may seem licit. Mrs.
Nobles' attorney. W. C. 0'ionn. has re
turned from Italy to do what he cm
to prevent the carrying out of the sen
tence. He says bin return was due al
most cntlioly to his belief that tho old
woman was wrongfully convicted and
should not suffer death. The petitions
n far completed have been filed with
Governor Atkinson for the considera
tion of the pardon board. The caFC
must be dispo'ed of In a very short
time and, whatever tho ultimate re
sult, Is bound to cause some very
plcy proceedings.
There 13 a deeply rooted sentiment
In that state against the hanging of
women, especially these of tho white
race. Hut two of the latter have ever
been executed in tho history of the
state. About n century ago Polly Ba
ker was hanged in Wilkes county for
poisoning a rival. The other case was
that of Miss Susan Eberhnrdt, who
was hanged In 1S72 for the murder of
Mrs. Spann. At this time public feel
ing was so strong against the hanging
of a woman that Governor Smith lost
nil political Inlluence when ho per
mitted Mi3s Ebcrhardt to ascend the
scaffold. Ills career ended with the
fall of the drop.
The eloquence of Henry V. Grady
probably saved Mrs. Souther from a
similar fate. Mrs. Souther killed her
rival In a ball-room in northern Geor
gia and was tried for tho crime. Tho
caso would have gone against her but
for the eloquent plea of Mr. Grady for
tho Immunity of women from execu
tion. Mrs. Souther was sent to tho
stato's prison Instead of the gallows,
and later received a pardon. Sho
showed her gratitude by naming one
of her boys for the lamented editor.
MRS. NOBLES.
DtU none of these cases had specially
unusual complications.
That of Mrs. Nobles Is so compli
cated, however, that the Inlluenco of
tlicso complications will add to tho In
terest of the caso. Mrs. Nobles had art
nccompllco, a negro. This will huvo
Bomo posslblo effect, although it has
not prevented many c! the leading wo
men of tho stato from nddlng the
weight of their names and Inlluenco
to tho petitions. Mrs. Nobles Is. also
of thut peculiarly Georgian element
known as "crackors." Tho family
what remains of It wns Ignorant and
shiftless to a degree. Whether or not
this featuro of tho caso will bo brought
out or suppressed Is one of tho things
so far unknown. But the strange peo
plo who constitute this element aro lit
tle thought of among tho bettor classes.
Mr. and Mrs. Nobles lived on a
small place twelve mlle3 from Jeffor
sonvlllo. They had two children, De
borah, 18 years of ago, and John, a
boy of 10. They were typeB of tho
"cracker" element that might as well
havo been In another world for all
wM
L MM '(,!
Jlljp
they knew of their own land outaldc
of the small community whero they
dwelt. They knew nothing of tho
outsldo world and cared less. They
were content to plod along In tho Ig
norance and poverty of that legion re
mote from civilizing Influences, Mrs.
Nobles says her husband was cruel by
nature and mistreated her shamefully.
This Is her motive for the crime. On
the trial tho alleged cruelty of tho
husband was urped In defense. But
the witnesses for tho state, the neigh
bors, all stoutly maintained that the
reverse was true. The old man was
not cruel to his wife; she was to him.
But whichever Is true, they did not
get on well with each other and there
wero many quarrels before tho fatal
light when the old man's he.yl was
spilt with an ttx. Three negroes were
employed by Nobles to help In the
work. One of theso was convicted as
an accomplice, and has been under the
death centenco for a couple of year.'.
Ous Families, a former Atlanta hack
man; his wife, Mnry families, and Dal
ton Joiner wero tho negroes who ob
tained employment on the farm. They
were typical negroes, but rambles had
leirncd a good many things In tho city
not learned in the cane brakes or cot
ton fields. The murder was the result
of a conspiracy which Involved every
body on tho farm but tho victim and
his son. Mrs. Nobles was accustomed
to work In the fields with the farm
hands, nnd It was while she was trudg
ing along that the plot was hatched.

blrs, she complained bitterly of her
husband's 111 treatment, families nsk
ed her why sho didn't "put the old man
out of the way." Mrs. Nobles asked
him how It could bo done, and tho first
step toward the commission of the
crime was taken. During tho three
weeks which followed the plans for
killing old Nobles wero developed, nnd
it is surmised that In the making of
those plans Debby Nobles, Mary fam
ilies, the wife of Gus, and Dalton Join
er materially assisted tho two chief
conspirators. Early ono Sunday morn
ing Mrs. Nobles awakened her husband
nnd sent him out to drive nwny rob
bers who, she said, wero stealing their
corn. Sho had hidden his gun, and
ho went unarmed. As ho stole out in
the darkness families brained him
with an ax. Then Mrs. Nobles struck
tho dying man twice with tho samo
weapon. While yet life was in tho
body the two burled it. Mrs. Nobles,
It is said, paid families $10 for his
services. Tho excitement following
the discovery of the crime was great.
Tho unusual helnousness of tho crlmo
and tho character of the criminal
made It n remarkable ease. Mrs. No
bles was arrested, together with fam
ilies and his wife. Joiner nnd Debby
Nobles. At the trial of tho case a
few weeks after the murder a verdict
of guilty was brought In nnd Mrs. No
bles and Gus famblcs wero sentenced
to be hnnged Aug. 1C, ISM. Joiner
proved an alibi, was acquitted and Im
mediately left tho state. Debby No
bles was acquitted. Mary families
was sentenced to life Imprisonment.
IlloiT Killed lliihy.
Tho police of tho Vernon avenue
stntion, Brooklyn, recently sent to the
morgue tho body of u newly born In
fant which, without doubt, wns mur
dered. A boy in tho employ of tho
Whltc-Pottor-Pnldge plcturo frnmo
works, at Sanford street and Wlllough
by avenue, camo across the body while
closing tho lower shutters of the fac
tory. The child was wrapped In fair
ly good goods nnd had evidently not
been long In tho place where It wns
found. At the station tho clothing
was removed and tho fnco indicated
that the child when born must have
been exceedingly pretty. On Its left
sldo was a black mark. This, tho po
lico believe, was whero tho child was
probably struck n vicious blow which
caused Its death. Tho pollco made an
Investigation, but failed to find any
clew which would lead to nn arrest.
Contempt of Court.
A stranger once walked Into a crim
inal court and spent some time watch
ing tho proceedings. By and by u man
wnj brought up for contempt .of court
nnd fined, whereupon tho stranger roso
nnd asked: "How much was tho fine?"
"flvo dollnrs," replied tho elork,
"Well," said tho stranger, laying down
tho money, "If that's nil, I'd llko to

Prosperity Is sup

li u a 1 n e ss circles
few complaints are
m a d o , w li atcver
dullness there la
in theatrical matters must bo duo to
Inferior plays or acting. It Is an cx
.reniely rare case when n good play
well acted falls to win public favor.
And who nro those who complain of
poor business? Barely those actors
whose conscientious work has Rained
them popularity, and who appear In
worthy plays. Inferior plays fall, as
they should, and actors who cannot
act must sooner or later understand
that the public does not want them.
And the managers who send out a
popular play with nn inferior cast,
will come to learn that, after a few
seasons the theater-going public finds
out that It Is not seeing the New York
cast which Is advertised and which It
Is paying for. There ere, as a matter
of fact, very few plays, which, after
a run In New York, are sent on tho
road with tho Identical cast that
achloved the original success of the
KATHRINE
production. Almost alwnys thcro aro
some changes for the road, as players
who can afford it work only In New
York, but managers never hesitate to
advertlso tho "original Now York
cast."
Tho subject which has been absorb
ing so much attention In tho theatrical
world of Into, nnd which threatens to
develop seriously Ib tho thentrlca'
trust, now In a fair way to control tho
mnjorlty of attractions In this country.
Tho theatrical tni3t. llko nil other
monopolies, Is feared and disliked by
those who havo to accept its dictates,
and there are few managers and stars
strong or Independent enough to fight
It successfully. The men who com
prise the trust havo control of tho
principal theaters throughout tho
United States, and produeo a large
number of tho best attractions; they
also control tho booking of other at
tractions at their theaters which, being
In each town the most prominent, are
COItA URQUIIAItT POTTER,
naturally most desired by all manages
for their companies. Consequently,
managers and stars aro obliged to sub
mit to tho terms of tho trust aa to
booking, tlmo, percentage, etc.. and
those who are Independent enough to
refuse terms which nro unJUHt or tlmo
which Is unfavorable, find themselves
confronted with many difficulties and

disadvantages. It Is hnrd to procuro
the bc3t booking Independent of thn
trust, nnd whenever nn Independent
star Is to play In a town whore tho
trust controls a theater, tho very
strongest possible attraction Is sure to
be booked In opposition.
The public cares little or nothing for
tho trust: It can make no difference to
an audience who supplies tho attrac
tions so long ns the play and players
aro good But when the public real
izes that sonio of our best actors aro
fighting the trust and Its methods, and
that In some cities the most popular
nctorr, will be obliged to appear at
Inferior theaters, because the high
class house are controlled by the
trust, or. In snnie cases, that a few fa
vorite actors will be entirely barred
from certain town. then the people
will understand what etlect the trust
has upon the theater-going public.
Monopol of any noil Is wrong In prin
ciple and bad In effect. It benefits tho
few and Injures the many, nnd In thin
ease It has a decidedly bad effect In
that It controls nnd cramps American
dramatic art -a thing which ought to
be free as air. Art cannot live and
thrive In uu atmosphere of repression
and suppression, nnd If the theater of
America Is to be In the hands of spec
ulators, It Is a sorry outlook for our
dramatic art.
When the story of her life Is written
It will be found that Mrs. James Brown

of Peg Wellington. Patrician born, she

her long dream of financial and artistic
prosperity has flnnlly fallen true. Mrs.
Potter has no Intention of retiring from
tho stage. She Is now making arrange

our audiences shall renew their ne
qualntanco with her.
Here Is a famous stage beauty who
has retired from tho theatre to wed, It
Is whispered, millions. Kathrlne
Clcmmous was originally a protege o.'
Itlder Haggard, who persuaded her to
go on the stage. The Englishman's ad
miration for tho young Callfornlan was
shared by William f. Cody who spent

bitions. Another turn In her fortune
camo lit meeting Howard Gould, who
promptly fell in love with Miss Clem

Howard will bo tho third member oi
his family who hns declared high es
teem for actresses. Jay Gould was a
constant ndmlrer of women of the
stage; George married Edith Klngdoa
a comedienne In Daly's.
Ono of the most prominent and pop
ulnr of English actresses, but one who
hns never visited America, Is Mrs. Pat
rick Cnmpbell. Mrs. Campbell has
played In romantic, classic and modern
drama, though her greatest successes
havo been In plnys of to-day. In "Tho
Second Mrs. Tanqueray," several years
ago, sho made a great hit, and hns since
appeared In various other modern
plays, "Tho Notorious Mrs. Ebbsinlth,"
for example, whllo In Coppeo's "for
tho Crown," In "Romeo nnd Juliet,"
nnd but recently In "Hamlet," she dis
played her nptitudo for tho romantic
and classic drama. Her Juliet wa3
more successful than her Ophelia, but
sho Is best In modern emotional roles.

CEHTIE'S TONY, JUT.
ERTIE'S pon), Jet,
wan tho prettiest
and gentlest little
creature In thn
world. Ho wns In
telligent, too; you
could see that by
one glance at his
bright oyes; then
ho was so docllo
that bo woi'ld obey
Mm
Be r 1 1 e's lightest
word; but he hail one fault, and that
was Jumping the paddock fence Into
Mr. Dorr's cow-yard.
Mr. Dorr said ho frightened his fa
vorite cow, chased bin chickens nnd
played nil sorts of pranks.
Bertie's father said that If Mr. Dorr
would put up another rail Jot could
not get Into the yard, but Mr. Dorr
maintained that Jet should bo hobbled
or fastened.
Sometimes Bertlo did fasten Jet, but
the pony objected. He seemed to think
that he was tiirnod Into tho paddock
for exercise, and would often contrive
to free himself.
One day, after Jet had Jumped the
fence nnd Bertlo was leading him out
of the yard, Mr. Dorr said:
"Now, young sir, let this be the last
time. 111 turn that animal out Into
the road if I find hlni trespassing
again."
for several days Bertlo watched Jet
c.loscly, but ono morning he wan Into
for school nnd forgot hln pony com
pletely. When he returned homo Jet
was neither In the stable nor the pad
dock. Bertlo looked through tho fenco Into
tho cow-yard and called "Jet! Jet!"
A boy put his head out of the shed and
said:
"That pony of youra was turned o'ut
of this yard about ten this morning.
1 saw him go toward tho railroad."
"Then perhaps ho has been run
over," said Bertie, and the tears camo
Into his eyes at the thought.
"A horse don't lot himself get run
over," nnswered the boy; "U'b cows
that do that."
Bertlo saw that Mr. Dorr's handsnmo
Aldorney stood close by the open gatJ,
rubbing his collar against tho bars.
"Your gate is open," ho said, as ho
turned away.
"I know," answered thn boy, care
lessly, and went on pitching tho hay
Into the loft.
Bertlo walked along tho road, look
ing up nnd down, feeling very hope
less nnd helpless. Ho had been talked
to so much about not allowing Jet to
jump tho fenco into Mr. Dorr's yard,
that now ho did not llko to ask any ono
to help him find him.
There were so many lanes and turn
ings, nnd so many patches of wood
land that Bertie scarcely knew whero
to look first. He went on whistling
nnd calling "Jet! Jet!" at every few
steps, but no Jot nnswered. It was
tiresome work, and, besides, the after
noon was so short. Already the sun
was going down behind tho tall trees.
Bertlo had often been warned not to
cross tho railroad track, and he seldom
went near It; but now, when ho had
tried every other place ho could think
of, he ran over an open field, on tho
other sldo of wjiich lay the track.
The banks were very high on each
side, but ho thought he saw something
moving slowly along under nn archway
not far off, so ho called;
"Jet! Jet!"
Ho was answered by a long "Moo
moo." "That's a cow," thought Bertlo, "and
It sounds llko Mr. Dorr's Aldcrney."
Ho bent down and looked closer. Tho
cow raised her head, and he saw tho
blue collar around her great neck.
"Sho will bo suro to bo run down
by an engine," thought Bertie. "I will
go ns fast as I can to tho crossing nnd
toll the flagman." So oft ho went as
swiftly as his feet could carry him,
quite forgetting littlo Jet, for tho tlmo,
in hln anxiety to savo tho poor cow.
Ho was tired nnd out of breath when
he reached the flagman and told him
of tho animal's danger.
"I'll havo hor off In n few moments,"
said tho man, "thcro's a place close to
the archway that sho can bo made to
climb. You go back nlong tho bank
and I will run down the track."
When Bertlo reached tho archway
again tho flagman had sent Mr. Dorr's
Aldcrney up the bank. Bertie thanked
him, nnd, breaking n long switch from
a bush, began driving her toward hor
home. Then once mo:e ho thought of
Jet nnd wondered whero ho could be.
Ho was almost In sight of Mr. Dorr's
gate when somo ono camo running up
behind him. It was Mr. Dorr himself.
"Where did you find her?" ho asked.
"I nnd my boy havo been hunting for
her this half hour."
"Sho was walking up tho railway
track," said Bertlo, "under tho nrch
way and I ran and told tho flagman.
Ho drovo her off for rne."
"You aro a good boy. Now, I sup
pose you would llko to know where
that pony of yours is?" said Mr.
Dorr.
"I am afraid I shall never see him
again," Bald Bertlo, sadly. "I have
looked everywhere."
"Go right nlong and look Into his
stable now," said Mr. Dorr, laughing,
"I took caro of the pony."
Bertie rushed through his garden
and threw open tho stablo door; thero
was Just light enough left In the sky
to show him Jet's bright eyes staring
at him, as the pony lifted his head
fiom tho big mcasuro of oats that ho
was munching hungrily.
"You wicked, wicked pony," said
Bertie; but he stroked Jet's head lov
ingly beforo closlny the stablo door for
Uio night.
Well, that wns the Inst time Bertie's
pony Jumped tho paddock fenco, for tho
next day Mr. Dorr put up another rail,
and co Jet was forced ta VQ(") to his
own side.

A f rench rnglncor who has been on

SIX CENTURIES IN JAIL.
Sentence Tliut lllelit llitva llean la
fllctcil on u Hoy.
William A. Lelbold of Lancaster, Pa.,
aged 18, who wa3 convicted of forging
the naino of his employer to G7 checks,
was sentenced by Judge Brubakcr.who,
had he Inflicted the maximum penalty,
would huvo consigned tho prisoner to
a cell for C70 years. Ab It Is, tho porlod
of tho lad's Incarceration will depend,
to some extent, on bis behavior, tho
court sending him to Huntington re
formatory. Tho court, addressing Lel
bold, said:
"Tho maximum punishment for each
of tho 134 counts on which you wero
convicted la flvo years, but tho court
would talto Into consideration the rec
ommendation of tho Jury for morcy.
Your sisters aro much more hardened,
and older In sin than yourself. Wo
were astonished to bear from their lips,
tho disgusting revelations concerning
their relations with the prosecutor in
his room and office, which they have
seen fit to reveal In your defense. This
wo believe had much to do with tho
prompt verdict of guilty by tho Jury.
It has shown such moral turpitude In
all that wero concerned In it that tho
community must have been shocked,
as was tho court. Tho talo as told by
ono of your sisters makes her as vllo
as tho most depraved of her sex. Your
acquittal would bave dono you and this
community a great wrong. Tho good
effect of tho verdict will bo so far
reaching that its effect can not bo ful
ly estimated."
In concluding Judge Brubakcr said
he hoped the scntcuce would prove a
blessing to Llebold. Tho law allows
tho authorities nt tho reformatory to
retain tho prisoner for tho maximum
term fixed by tho law for tho offenso
committed. Tho authorities, however,
mny parole the prisoner nfter a period
which, In LIcbold's case, Is three yeara
Informal Itocelpt.
Uneducated people sometimes havo a
happy knack In coming to tho point.
Here, for example, la a story from tho
Boston Herald. Dan and Mose, neither
of them noted for erudition, wero part
nors In nn enterprise which It is need
less to specify. Ono morning a cus
tomer called to settle a small bill, and
after handing over tho money asked
for a receipt. Moso retired to tho
privacy of an Inner room, and after a
long delay returned with a slip of
paper, on which wero written theso
words: "We've got our pay. Mo ant
Dan."
Stow, but Kure.
"Doctor," said tho young wife, "I :ira
uneasy about my husband; I'm suro ho
is working himself into an early grave.
Can't you suggest something that will
prevent his rapid decline?" "Yen
might try getting him elected to tha
vlco presidency," replied tho doctor;
"ho would then have four years in
which to gradually decline beforo slnlt
Ing into tho depths of oblivion."
Miin, I'oor Mn.
Now with the dawn of tho glad new
year
Each husband will turn a now loaf;
But ho'll turn it with trembling and

Lust ho finds on tho pngo to his grlet
Ills wlfo'u Christmas bills do appear;
Then his good resolves will be but
