Mrs. Halllday, the Sullivan County mUrdcressi- Is under sentence to be exe cuted at Sing Sing I'rlson within the wrek beginning Aug. If tho sentence s carried out she will be the first wo man to meet death In the itectrlc chair. The prisoner, whose condemnation was pronounced at Mnntlrello this morning, Is one of the most remarkable rrlp-.lr.nls who oer stood before the bar of Jtntle In this or nny other State. Undoubtedly n murderess, with the blood of nt least three people on her (mpils, the only iiucstlon which could nrlne In her ra'o was that of her mental condition Most people who hae followed the case will consider It as pretty well established tjiat. her methods were not thins, of Ir responsible madness Her frcaklshncsi bore the marks of studied effort. She li n natural criminal, a cruel and crafty destiojer of human life. There will bo no Injustice In Indicting upon her the law's full penalty. That same young Mr. Bulzer who once proclaimed IiIh knowledge of what the New York State Senate would do with the New York City reform bills has Jint made a speech to the Iliiboken Turtle Club. The gathering which ho ad dressed was a purely social ono, but he couldn't reilst the temptation to Inject a little Tammany politics. He did It by sneering nt the I.exow Committee. Then ho experienced an Immediate and decided "frost." This was another time when Mr. Sulzer thought he know, but didn't know. As ho grows older, und the accumulation of I.exow rnvtlatlons grows bigger, Mr. Sulzer will possibly be able to pick up several points on what not to say and when not to say It. As might have been expected, the breathing spell allowed to tho llrockwoy forces between Investigations was utll isod as a time for Impressing Important wltnrsses with .n ld-a of their Indiscre tion In giving tratlmony against the mngnato of the Klmlra Institution. In plain words, the opportunity has been seized to Intimidate Reformatory In mates. Nevertheless, the truth as to the brutality practised In the name of re form comes out as plainly on the second Inquiry as on the first. Amid the ac cumulated mistakes of acting Gov. Dower, that of showing misplaced le niency to Brockway and his obedient Hoard of Managers becotnei more and more conspicuous as the Inquiry goei on. "For Mayor, a Republican. The G. O. P. will Insist on the first place on a fusion ticket." That's the mischief of it. It Is no less than the '"straight" ticket Idea. Insisted Upon to the bit ter end. It will be rank treason to the better New York. The question whether tho man who shall head tho ticket shall be n Republican or a Democrat Is a question not to consider nt all. Is he a good citizen? Is he a strong cltlren? Is ho the man for the hour? Those are the questions. The Income Tax bill ns It stands Is fault. Tho Income tax principle Is as Just and perfect as any tax prin ciple can he. Properly applied, the principle will outlive nnd live down any I amount of Illogical denunciation. "Infamous liar," "that old scoundrel," "a cowardly hound" don't be alarmed. These are only some of vocnl fireworks Incident to the Senatorial campaign In South Carolina. Justice Diwer's me lory, once wholly lost, would nover be found. Who can toll whore It might wnnder during nn all-Summer recess of the I.exow Committee? If you want the law enforced, pay the policeman. If you want to lolite the law, pay the policeman. It must bo n good police rule which works both ways Prlicllla's trial trip exhibited tho handsome new Sound boat as In eery way creditable to the "trim, little Purl tan maiden" who Is her namesake. Police Justice Dlvver Is apparently profiting by the confessions of Clll Jus tice Roesch. He Is not rushing to the Licxow Committee for a hearing. An adjournment of the I.exow Com mittee until Septamber, at this point, I would bring damaging Summer frost upon a promising crop. From the various stories of how the Suburban was won. It can be gathered only that Ramapo got his deserts. It Is a mistake to suppose that Capt. Wnrd's "Giants" were In a game of ball nt Eastern Park yesterday. Where Crokor got It and what the Sugar Trust did with It are still ques tions of absorbing interest . The man who didn't win on the Sub urban Is still looking for better luck next time. The I-exow living pictures continue In Interest and effectiveness. There Is still further depression In the pantatu market. Milken It IIIkIiI)' Ohjeatlonnblr.

The American play, according to George Oroasmlth, Is n mlxturo of mclo drnmu, inrcc, tragedy, comedy, music hall and a lot or other things, sjvs the Chlcigo News It has profound pathos In It und Is lib erally supplied with what are called "specialties" One theme supplies the peculiar taste tor nny kind of a drama. Generally It Is about a homestead which Is going to be sold to a rallroid company, as the projected line Is going to run through the farm, but the railway Is given up, so the homestoid Is not sold, that Is nil. Rut the theme is worked out In a vast variety or waya. As the curtain goes up you bear n tuneful rcrraln something between a Hnlvatlon Army hjinn and a plantation melody, the subject ot which eems to be "the shore" "nn the shore," that s how the chorus nlvvais ends "a baby -or something "on the shore" I never could catch tho words exactly.

Exciting Adventure In the RIsTBlXB of n Vessel In Arctic Wntere. There Is nn old sailor named Jake, re cently returned to San Francisco from an Arctic cruise, who had made up his mind not to go on another whaling ex pedition, no matter what happens. The reason Is this, says an exchange: On ono occasion during his late voy ago Jake was on watch In the night thut Is, as much night as It over gets up there in Bummer. The sun had been down about nn hour and would rise again about un hour later. It was a beautiful night us the ship lay there in the Ice, and the air seemed scintillating with a phosphorescent glow that pen etrated ever) where and made no shad ows. On all Bides the pack Ice lay close to the vessel and reached for miles In every direction, broken occasionally by n large berg or the faint outlines ot an other ship. The silence was profound; It seemed to produce a roaring sound like the waves ot a distant ocean. Such surroundings will put a person In a semi-comatose state from which the slightest sound will awaken him with a start. Jake suddenly saw something white In the gloom climbing the mast. His llrt Impulse was to Jump to the deck, but before he could.net upon It the white object climbed through the lub ber hole, and Jake then saw It was a polar bear. Jake realized that he was In a most dangerous position and be gan to think of means of escape. He culled to the watch on deck below, but they couldn't hear. He tried to get out under the canvas, but the beust grabbed him and pulled him back. It began thumping him. and every time Jnkc attempted to move away It would growl. Suddenly his eyes lighted on a rope hanging to the deck Just back of the cradle. Uy this means he thought he could reach the deck. To swing himself free wns the work or an Instant, but the bear made a Jump and caught hold ot his foot. Rut a few vigorous kicks freed him and then began n new terror. Perhaps the rope vvus not strong and would break, or he might miss the stay and swing against the mast nnd be dashed to death The moment In the nlr seemed years filled with horror, and hever.il times Jnke wished ho had taken his chances with the bear. To grab the stay und hold on was moBt difficult and twice Jake's hands slipped and al most lost It. When he reached the deck he looked up and saw the rope swing back to the cradle, where the bear grabbed It. It tried to do as It had seen Jake do, but iiad no sooner swung clear than It slipped and fell to the deck. The crew had bearsteak for breakfast. CHARACTEIt IN ROOTS. New Science Invented by a French-iuuii--Its gliortenmlngs. A wise man of France has Invented a science which he names "Scaphology." The science Is the art of telling personal character by observation of the boots worn by the person "Show me your ji-nq sn s ilt Frenerir"in "ind I'll tell sou what you are." This Ingenious oihLOveior ciauud tun the equal e.n' of heel and sole accompanies "energetic character, sound business principles and a capable mother." To him badly frayed toes are the sure Indication of rogulsh ness, sas the Roston Journal Unfortunately for the gratification of curloslts', the Inventor as yet has not disclosed rully his schemes, nor Is there any complete and trustworthy treatise on ocaphology, ns there Is on palmistry, or as Cardan a book on tho art of under standing men by the wrinkles on the foreheuds In the absence or nny such treitlse, hints and suggestions may be welcome to servo in the completion or the needed book. Rut stay Is such a science possible? For Is there any inflexible law concern ing the wearing of boots aa concerning tho tides or the return of a comet7 The Frenchman maj- 3a v. It a man wears congress gilters he Is either fat or lazy, but thin men and brisk men are seen with these very boots We know of the evil significance round by Edgar, son or Gloster, in crenklng shoes, but is not a congregation ottcn disturbed by the en trince ot a worthy member whose shoes crv out along the aisle? Is the man ot patent leathers alwaj-s a dude, or Is tho man or unblackcd boots always a coarse sloven? May he not be a scientist whose head Is In the stars and whoie feet are lu tho gutter, like the philosopher of old? Should we look askew at cloth slippers, embroidered with a dog's head or a rose? Is not the wearer often a hero who wears them that a fond and misguided sister or wife may not be grieved by a bllent reflection on her taste?

"Any one who thinks a moose can't travel at a pietty lively gait Is very much mistaken," remarked George T. Horton, of St. Paul, to a St. Louis re porter. "I useil to be a locomotive engineer up in the northern part ot my State, nnd one day I hnd an opportunity to tost the speed ot this animal. "I was running a light rrelght train, and In coming around a curve saw a big moose standing directly on the track. As soon as the anlmil siw the engine In took to his heels right down the path between the rails. "For nbout tour miles we had a per fectly straight track, and as I had heard of the great speed of this animal I de termined to test Its ability. The gait ot the moose wis a sort of trot, such only as a mosso cm exhibit, his paces being about two rods In length. "At first It was only a little Jog, but as the engine began to gain speed the moose let himself out. "Faster and rister sped the engine, but still the tilghtened moose trotted In the van, and all the mysterious power of steam could not prevail upon this mon arch or the torest, "At last, atter we hnd covered the four miles, turning a curve, we came upon a ging of Bectlon hands who were fixing the track. The sight ot these men fright ened tho moose from the track, and he was soon lost to view In the forest." WAS WILLING TO BE USEFUL. Hut It Wns Only nn nn Introduction to the Inuul Demnnil for Help.

"Want your lawn mowed?" "Now, Bee here," said tho man who was carrying the satchel, turning fiercely on tho young man, who had stood on the corner, "what In blazes are you following me along like this for?
