SHOULD MRS. NOBLES BE HANGED?
She Should Hang;.
To Thb Editor of The Tribune:—l
have read with interest your editorial
favoring the execution of the law in
the case of Mrs. Nobles.
It is only the strict and impartial
enforcement of the law that entities it
to our respect. If the law of the
land is to give place to unreasonable
sentiment then why have laws ? Why
not enact a law giving the women of
the state the right to break- the law
with impurity ? Such a law would be
just as sensible and reasonable as this
display of misplaced sympathy.
There is no reason—no not one,why
this miserable murder should not pay
the penalty of the law for her'heart
less crime.
All the talk about this woman be
ing crazy is the veriest rot.
A jury of twelve intelligent men has
passed on her case, and if there had
been the slightest suggestion at the
trial that she was crazy, the jury
would have been only too glad to
have taken advantage of it to render
a verdict of acquittal.
The practice of declaring a man’s
life forfeited when he takes the life of
a fellow creature, has obtained since
the time of Moses, and it not only has
back of it the wisdom which has come
from the experience of every civilized
government since this world began,
but it bears the stamp of divine ap
proval as well.
That this woman Is guilty of the
crime of murder has been established
beyond the peradventure of a doubt
but when the law prefers to make
her pay the penalty of her crime, we
behold a lot of pseuds-philanthropists
holding up their hands in horror and
crying out against the law taking
what is its own —and all. forsooth,
because she is a woman.
The only question in this matter is
whether or not the crime of murder
should receive capital punishment.
If it should, then Mrs. Nobles should
hang, for before the ciminallaw theie
is no difference between the crimes of
a woman and the crime of a man.

She Should Not Hang.
To the Editor of The Tribune:—“A
wicked, blood-thirsty old fiend, with
the devil incarnate in her soul." An old
woman, confined in the cell of death,
without money or friends, ignorant and
helpless with but a single ray of hope
between life and death, whose ease of
life in the course of nature is nearlv
gone. No! Mr. Tribune recall what you
have said.
To the outside world it seems she had
no provocation to commit the horrible
deed of which she stands convicted, and
yet, to her ignorant and uncultured
mind she may have had ample cause
We cannot view the act as she did, nor
do we know whether her life was tor
tured and her patience and reason de
strayed by a continued oruel course of
conduct on the part of the one she
helped to destroy. Let us look at her
conduct from the standpoint of an ig
norant mind and an untrained con
science, not from our own, and show
mercy, “The higher yon get in the scale
of being the grander, the nobler, the
tenderer you will become. Kindness is
always an evidence of grandness. ”
•Not the King's crowu- sor the deputed sword,
Tjs Marshal’s truncheon nor the judge's robe
Become them with-one-half so good a grace
As mercy does ”
I won Id not hang a woman for any
crime, nor do I believe there can be
found a man in the state who would
willingly adjust a bangman’s knot
around a woman’s neck. If women are
to be hung let as have a woman execu
tioner, and until you can find a woman
who will sdjQst the knot, bind the hands
and feet, draw down the black cap,
spring the trigger and launch the victim
into eternity, let no woman be hung.
Life imprisonment at hard labor is a
more fitting sentence in such cases as
this, even if both parties participating in
the crime are equally guilty, and to act
with equal justice, it should be necessary
to commute the sentence of both of them.
Life imprisonment is a dreadful penalty.
There are some people, who, to say the
least of it, had rather die than suffer it.
I sincerely hope the governor will com
mute the sentence of this poor creature,
and if, in his judgment, the negro is not
more deeply dyed in the crime than the
woman and if his execution should be a
stumbling block in the way of such com
mutation, then I hope he will commute
the sentence of the negro also. I would
not hang a woman.

CONFEDERATE DAUGHTERS.
Mr*. Kate Cabell Currie, the New Presi
dent of the Order.
Mrs. Kate Cabell Currie, who was
recently elected president of the Na
tional Daughters of the Confederacy at
the convention of that organization in
Baltimore, is a resident of Dallas. Her
father is General W. L. Cabell, a Con
federate veteran, who is more familiarly
known throughout Dixie as “Old Tige. ”
Mrs. Currie has been an enthusiastic
member of the national association of
Daughters of the Confederacy ever since
it was organized and attended the an
nual convention as a delegate from Tex
as. Her speech, in which she told of the
energetic work done by the Dallas chap-
MRS. K ATE CABELL CURRIE.
ter in erecting a monument to the Con
federate veterans in that city, created
great enthusiasm, and when she re
turned to Dallas as chief executive of
the organization she was made the guest
of honor at a rousing reception.
Since the Daughters of the Confeder
acy organized at the University of Vir
ginia in 1894 much work of a charita
ble and historical nature has been ac
complished. The objects of the order
are to care for all needy wives and chil
dren of Confederate soldiers and to col
lect and preserve all available records
of the Confederacy. Hundreds of chap
ters have been formed in various states,
some of them in northern cities. Just at
present the Daughters are trying to
raise a fund of $4,000, which is to be
used in marking the graves of the 30, -
000 Confederates who died in Union
prisons. It is proposed to erect a simple
shaft in each one of the 13 cemeteries
of Union prisoners. The Philadelphia
chapter is actively engaged in this
work. Several other projects, among
them the establishing of a Confederate
museum, are well under way.

DARING BICYCLE RIDE.
Actom the Hoosac River on a Wire Foot
Bridge One Hundred Feet Long.
George Round of Williamstown,
Mass., recently performed the daring
and dangerous feat of riding a bicycle
across the Hoosac river, near the Ver
mont state line, on a foot bridge' 100
feet long and about 20 feet above the
Water. The bridge is made of two
heavy wire cables, upon which are cross
pieces of wood. Wires are strung at
each side to serve as guard rails. When
a person crosses this novel bridge, it
sways, sinks and rises very much after
the fashion of a rope upon which a rope
walker is performing. The water be
neath the bridge is very deep, and those
who watched Mr. Round cross the river
feared that his foolhardy feat would
end in his death.
Round had originally agreed to ride
over the bridge to win a wager of SSO,
but as the men who promised to back
him failed to show up he decided to un
dertake the perilous feat for what glory
there was in it. For that reason he
went to the bridge with his wheel, ac
companied by his friends. One of the
men tried to dissuade Round from un
dertaking the ride.
“Oh, I’ll get over all right, ” confi
dently replied Round, as he lifted his
wheel to the bridge, which began to os
cillate dangerously.
“Better come back, George, ” cried
one of his friends.
Round shook his head, and giving
his wheel a gentle push forward rode
out upon the trembling bridge. When
near the middle of the swaying struc
ture, the wheel of the young rider’s bi
cycle drew alarmingly near the edge.
The watchers held their breath. For an
instant the wheel looked as if it would
topple over. Then the pedals worked
slowly and cautiously, and Round in
creased his speed until he shot across
the rest of the bridge with a rapidity
that caused the men watching him to
gasp.
To prove that he could perform the
feat again. Round rode over the bridge
the second time. The riae will go on
record as one of the most remarkable
ever performed in America.—New I’ork
Sun.
X-' Electric Carriage.
A new invention is an electric car
riage in the form of a covered buggy for
two persons. It is propelled by storage
battery power, and its cost is $3,000.
That item of cost will keep many young
men in practice at driving with one
hand.—Philadelphia Press.

LED BY A PIRATE.
Californians In Search of Treasure on the
Solomon Islands.
A story comes from Honolulu that
has caused much anxiety among the
friends of the 16 young men who re
cently sailed from San Francisco on the
schooner Sophia Sutherland in search of
treasure on the Solomon islands.
The trading master of the little craft,
now presumably cruising in the south
seas, is Captain Sorrenson, who, ac
cording to ex-Consul Churchill of Apia,
has a black record as a pirate and de
spoiler of the natives in the islands of
the central Pacific. When the Sophia
Sutherland reached Apia, she was sub
jected to a searching scrutiny, during
which Sorrenson was identified as the
man who had led a similar treasure
seeking expedition from Melbourne on
the schooner Albert, which he soon
transformed into a regular pirate. In
1884 he was captured by the British
man-of-war Dart and sent to prison for
ten years. Since then he had not been
heard from, but now he is in virtual
command of a company of Californians,
who put faith in his stories of the fabu
lous wealth of the Solomon islands.—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Klondike Poetal Information.
To reach the Klondike gold fields with
out great delay a letter from the States
should be addressed to Dawson City,

is located would possibly aid delivery.
