Graat the Prayer of the
Petitioners.
OTTAWA. Ont., July 9. (Special Tele
gram) Nothing has been done toward
commuttng the sentence of death against
Mrs. Napolltano, convicted at Sault Ste,
Marie of killing her husband, according
to a statement made today at the depart
ment, of Justice. The minister of justice
has not considered the' case as yet Thou
aanda of petitions have come In both from
Canada and America, ' asking for a com
mutation and there were rumor inAmer-
lea today that it had been granted, but
this has not yet been done. Little doubt
Is felt, however, that It will be.
One hundred thousand, an estimate of the
number of petitions, letters or other com
muncations, received at Ottawa, praying
for 'the exercise of clemency. Stacks have
Veen received .by the minister of Justice,
but many petitions have gone directly
to Earl Grey and all the cabinet ministers
have. been communicated with on the sub
ject. Thex case has awakened an Interest
that Is .wholly unprecedented.
, "Oh, a child Is .Coming! Well. then. I
know .what will happen but I won't tell."
These' are the quoted words of Sir Wil
frid Laurler, premier of Canada, cabled
from London by an' interviewer Who had
laid the case of Anaellno Napolltano. be
fore him. Sir1 Wilfrid, who Is now a pas
senger on board the C. P. -R.- steamer
Empress, of Britain, en route to Canada,
cannot himself pardon a criminal, but he
can wield' an Influence that no other man
throughout tho length of the. Dominion can
In this or any other case that comes under
the consideration of any of his ministers.
And the heart of the premier was
touched by the tale o Mrs. Napolltano.
At Bault Bte. Marie, where Mrs. Napoll
tano, goaded by distressing ctrenmstanoes,
committed her crime, 6,000 signatures have
been appended to a petition to save her.
It was forwarded to Karl Grey today.

TOPBKA, Kan., July . (Special Tel
gram.) W. L. A. Johnson, for fourteen
years commissioner Of the Kansas Bureau
of Labor, has become the only professional
arbitrator In the country. He Is to arbi
trate all labor difficulties;, between the
miners and mine owners In Kansas, Mis
souri, Oklahoma and Arkansas, and the
miners and operators are going to pay him
a salary.
Mr. Johnson undertook his new Job today,
Most strikes are settled by arbitration.
If not through outside parties, then through
compromises with the employers and em
ployea. It la Air. Johnson's Job to prevent
strikes and to decide labor difficulties that
may come up In the coal mines of the south
west -district, and when he settle the
question, both side must accept his de
cision.
The new position was decided upon .by
the Coal Operators' association and the
district branch of the United Mine Work
ers. it was more or less an experiment
The miners had been out of work four
months and the big mines suffered because
they were not being operated all last sum
mer. The miners and operators kept negoti
ating, but could not reach an agreement,
Even after the contract had been signed
It wa realised that during- Its life, there
would be hundreds of little difference
which would come up In various mines.
many of which would be difficult of settle
ment as each sldeywould stick to certain
views long a possible. Many of these
disputes would cause shutdown of plant
foKa few day or a week. !
The miners wanted to work, and the
operators wanted the coal mined, so it was
agreed that the operator would pay some
,000 a year and the miner $3,000 and hire
a professional arbitrator. Mr. Johnson Is
paid $6,000 a year and expenses. He makes
his headquarters In Topeka, but 1 to travel

ORIGIN OF WEDDING RINGS

At, what period ring's were first use4 la

ay. Their use has been traced back to the
early Hebrews, who probably borrowed the
custom from the Egyptians a circle, In the
language of the hieroglyphic, being a sym
bol of eternity.
Both Greeks and Romans used wedding
rings, placing them upon the forefinger.
During certain period of the Middle Ages
eustom demanded that the rlnr should
cost as much as tho bridegroom could af
ford to pay, and case are on record In
Germany and France of fashionable groom
who made large expenditures. In thla di-

however, and made the prescribed symbol
plain gold circlet ... . -...
The materials of which wedding rings
have beon. made ara as different a the
nation using them. Rlnis of bona ami
hard wood have been found In Swiss
lake, and other, of Ivory, copper, brass,
lead, tin, Iron, silver and gold, oome to
museums from 'various part of th earth.
In the fourteenth century a custom pre
vailed In Italy of adorning th ring with
a precious stone belonging to the Month
In which th bride was born. The fancy
spread to Franoe, and French bridegroom
would sometimes endeavor to multiply
tneir chance of obtaining the good luck
by presenting their brides with twelve
rings, one for each month. Indeed th
use of several rings In the marriage cere
mony Is not at an uncommon. When Mary
Stuart was married to Damley, four were
placed upon her hand. The Greek church
ue two tings, one of silver and one of
gold, and some) district of Spain and Por
tugal prescribe three.
Fashion has, of course, determined the
finger on which the ring Is to be worn,
and so much has It varied that the sym
bol has traveled from 4he thumb to the
fourth finger.
An English work on etiquette, published
In 1732. says that It Is the bride's privilege
to choose the finger for her ring. It fur
ther state that soma prefer the thumb,
because it 1 th strongest member of the
hand; others the Index finger, because at
its base lies the "Mount of Jupiter," Indi
cating noble aspirations; others the mid
dle finger, because it is the longest; and
still ether choose the fourth, because a
"vein proceeds from It to the heart."
The left hand receives the wedding ring
because It is th emblem of submission,
a th right Is of authority. 'th position of
th srmbol on the left hand 'of the bride
thus Indicating subjection to her husband.
At least these were th notion enter
tained In this regard before the advent of
tho modern woman. Harper's - Weekly. .

mumble them so that they are scarcely
audible. The exhortation was composed
In the sixteenth century, and the convo
cation committee recommends alterations
to make it consonant with modern Idea.
The member of the convocation, with
few objecting, agreed to the following
changes: It was agreed that the clause
reciting that marriage' "Is not by any to
be enterprlsed or taken' In- hand lightly,"
Should be altered to read "marriage Is not
by any to be taken In hand unadvisedly,
lightly, wantonly, but reverently, dis
creetly, advisedly, . soberly and In. fear of
God, duly considering the chief causes for
which matrimony Is . ordained."
The. members also agreed that the pas
sage stating 'that marriage "was ordained
for the procreation of mankind." should
run ' for the increase of mankind." It was
then proposed to omit the passage which
gives the second reason for which mar
riage Is ordained, namely "for a remedy
against ' sin." This alteration was hotly
resisted by several members. Canon
Drummond said that those who objected
to these words were precisely the persons
by whom they were most needed. Never
theless, this amendment Was also agreed
upon, .

Mexico Discovers
What May Be a Biff
Financial Swindlo
Millions of Dollars of Bonds Being-
Offered for Sale, Which it is Said
Are Fraudulent.
MUNTEilET, Mexico, July (.-(Special
Telegram.) "Was the recent revolution in
Mexico made the ba.ls for a gigantic fl
nanclal swindle with the United States at
the chief scene of operations?"
This Is a question that Is being asked by
canklng Interests In this country.
In the absence of any authentic statement
a to how the rebellion was financed, there
la still some question a, to whether
winuie naa really taken place. For two
or three weeks bunks In Monterey and
other large cities of Mexico have been re
celvlng offers of so-called provisional gov
ernment bonds of thla country from their
holders, who are for the most part Amerl
cans. This bond Issue, put out last January.
la something like t20.OiO.000. It Is known
that blocks of bonds were sold In San An
tonio, EI Paso, Los Angeles. St Louis.
New Orleans, New Tork and probably
many , other cities. The bonds were sold
us low a . 15 . cents on tha -dollar.
So far as Is now publicly known, no such
bond Issue wa ever authorised by Madero
or the men who eUJed him in promoting the
reDeiiion. in fact. It has been repeatedly
declared by Madero. as well as by other
close associates of him, that the war was
financed by himself and other members
or his family, and that It cost approxl
mately $350,000 gold,.
This being true, there are good grounds
ror believing that any bond Issue that
might have been made 1 fraudulent; at
least this Is the view taken by financial In
stitutions In Mexico, which are daily re
fusing to buy these bonds. . The Issue Is
said to be scattered among hundreds of
holders In the United States, who bought
them In good faith.
If this big bond Issue wa made without
authority, the perpetrators of the schema
have doubtlesa got away with several mil
lion dollara
While the revolution was in Progress, men
who claimed to be agents of the financial
end of the proposition were busy dispos
ing of these, bonds.
