'ear, Bradley Wrote When Be Granted ft
Pardon te Jacob Sarin.
FruuraronT. Ky., July 10. Gov. Bradley this
evening Issued a pardon to Jacob Marks of
Louisville, sent up for one year for grand lar
ceny. Tho case was presented to tho Governor
to-day by prominent citizens of Louisville, who
made affidavit that Marks was a victim ot bis
mother-in-law, who had boon Instrumental in
trumping up the charges and securing his con
'Ylction In order that her daughter might secure
a divorce on tho ground that Marks was a con
Ylet in the penitentiary, which of Itself is legal
grounds for divorce in this State. Tbe parties
in pie case are Jews, wealthy and well connect
ed people ot tho Falls City. Tho mother-in-law
took a dislike to Marks, and. It Is alleged, set
about In her (designs to send him to prison.
He was convicted In (January, 1807. Gov.
Bradley fwrites tbe following Indorsement on
the papers In the case:
"This man had an unimpeachable charac
ter until charged in this case. It is a bad case
of mother-in-law. Tbo lady bearing that rela
tion to him was the chief witness ajrMnet him
and since his conviction has induced his wife to
sue him for divorce on the ground ot confine-
Rent in the penitentiary. An examination
ads me to seriously doubt his guilt. More
plainly speaking, my opinion is that he is inno
cent. He was convicted presumably on the evi
dence of his mother-in-law, who hated him.
Pardon granted."

The Can or the AdventlsU Triumph and th
Medicine Man's Band la Dumb.
Dr. Elmer E. Frank, tho Seventh Duy Ad
ventlst, who has been preaching for several
weeks on the circus grounds at Saratoga avenue
in Brooklyn, has won a t laorr. He has put to
flight tbe cohorts of the wicked who thought
to embarrass him.
It has bean told already bow Dr. Frank
pitched his tent on the grounds and prtMchcd
In peace until a. patent modlclne maucama
along, pitched his tont near by, ind disturbed
tho Liospel uingln with n brhsj bard. Tho
congregation which gathers nightly in the
Gospel tent pro'ostod vigorously ngalnrt that
band, and as a result there U no longer any
band In the medicine teut. The Gospel force
claim tho victory, and although both forces
remain on tho Hold, it looks us If Dr. Frank had
won his point.
When tho band began to mingle Its strain
with tho dinging In the Gospel tent, the Ad
ventlsta vowed they would have tbe medicine
show put oil the grounds. If the medicine
men bad only contented themselves with their
ciutomnry vaudeville entertainment they
could have" been endured, but the band could
not bo tolerated. A notition was circulated and
wns elgned by agoodly numberof peisons. The
Mayor read tho petition and last night the po
lice received orders to allow no more loud
music But tho medicine people bad already
taken tho hint and had ceased interrupting the
Gospel services. Both performances, conse
quently, went on all rittht inrt night Tbe
T.ollccmcn stood around, but they had nothing
u do except answer quostions.
"Which do you want saved your life or your

This,. wa what tho Brooklyn policeman sold,
and no doubt he was right. In the one tent
Dr. Frank read tho hymns to be sung, and the
good-klsod congregation Joined In tho singing
with a -will; in the otiier enmp could be heard
the strains ofsueh airs as ' KwIe.O'Grady
and "Darttowu Winner." But each gathering
made enough noloo to render It douf to the ef
forts ot tho other, and both wero contented.

Into; circulation, and whorturned Stats' evi

Bequosen and Mrs. Relneman are regarded
by th Government officials a having been the
most active of the seven persons who hive been
arrested In procuring tho counterfeiting and
circulation of th born noto for the purpoj
ot raising money In old ot a Costa Itloan revo

Itoquesena at the examination before Commis

states that It was "through Mrs. Relncmnn's
cupidity that the bill wero put in circulation."
In July, 1804, tbe coutession recites, Jose

brought to this city two stones engravod to
print 9100 bills. They asked nequesen bow
inuch It would cost to print sl,000,000 worth
of tbe bills from the stones, he says. He told
them the work would havo to be dono from

for $6,000 and receiving $1,000 In advance,
Requesens betrayed tho schema to Braullo
Morales and A. Ortuno, stockholders in tho

for thu first time of doing the counterfeiting."
Requesens then tells of the making of tho

with cupidity nnd with being Jealous ot Mrs.

Mr. Mora had nothing to with the oounter

man Told him thu) could get $2,000 apiece
from the Costa Itloan Government If they would
Implicate Mora. This he refused to do.
"It Is Mora they wish to cripplo," the said,
n-d when Rcmwens refured to '"orruborate
her statements against Mora, she said: "WolL
I am determined to get out of this place Lud

"Sho carried out her threat," Requesens says.
"Her testimony was prompted by fear of punish
ment jealousy, spite, ana cupidity."
Salvador Uoatnpo and Jose VUlalobos ot
Santo Domingo, he says, wero tbe originator
of the counterfeiting scheme for their own per
sonal benefit. Roquoens expresses disbelief of
the statement that the money was to be used
for revolutionary purposes, "and," be says, "a
a nephew of one of the members ot the Cabinet
was their secretary and agent in New York, I
do not believe they are opposed to the govern

Mrs. Relneman, it is said, was engaged to
be married to Requesens, but he says thr.t dur

When London Punch, r good many year ego,
In tho day of the old two-wheel velocipede,
printed cartoon of a troop of soldiers mounted
on these predecessors of the bicycle tbo Idea wis
original enough to be humorous. It Is now a
reality, end within tho last year regular army
officers and men have turned their attention
very seriously to the possibilities ot thebloyclo
In war. They hare mad long trip on their
wheels, carrying complete camp outfit, and thsy
have mod fast trips to show what a bicycle cou
rier service might be worth. Just now Company
E of the Eighth Regiment of the Notional Guard
has sent thirty-two men mounted enwbeel
for an eight days trip on Long Island, The men
wore their regular blue army blouses and cam
paign hats, with crash knickerbockers and blacic
stockings. Each man carried a puncheon
trapped on top ot his handle bar, and his rifle
was strapped lengthwise along the wheel, with
tho muzxle pointing to tho front Tho soldier
carried their haversarks. canteens, and tin cup
nung over their shoulders. Eaoh man's ac
coutrements weighed sixty-five pounds. The
company will conduct a series of experiment
this wcelc to prove the efficiency ot a bloyole
corps, and the results will be of lntorest to all
members of tho National Guard,
Other than the large olrdo ot Charles Del
monlco's porsouol friend were glad to read the
donlal of hi serious Illness, and to learn that
his condition was not what the first report of
the ci itter aJUrmod, A number of men In New
York bavo every reason to be deaply concerned
In his condition, aud, although nothing ot the
cause of their interest has ever been heard from
htm. It is very well understood in some quarters
Just why they should 1-oar with tn much Interest
the rumor about his health. There are to-day
men who are scon with mure or less fre
quency in his establishment and are nover
called upon to do more than sign tbe
chocks handed to them for what thoy have hod
there. They nro allowed to do this o en when
they have Incurred tho obligation that an ex-
tensive dinner party creatos, and, aftor tbey
lavo geno through the formality of writing
thulrnameton the sllpot paper handed to them,
nothing further is required. Thcro are men who
In the past have sprut large sums ot money in
his restaurant and find themselves now unable
to meet the expense of such nn establishment
Thoy havo bem liberal patrons In the pact and
that fact Is remembered with n keenness rathor
remarkable under such chcutr.itances. Not
all of them are old customers. .S me nro the In
timate friend of men who nro liberal in their
patronage oftlin restaurant and in those cases
which seem to Justify it this fact is taken Into
consideration. It Is not likely that any successor
in tbe control of bis business would act In thoso
matters with tho same liberality that Mr. Del
monicohaa shone, and for that reason these
men who have cause to romembor h'.i generosity
are naturally concerned In the state of his
health.

that the Covcnt Garden season had not
been prosperous, and It commencement
was certainly unfortunate But tbe later
weeks ot the opera appear to Laie been
mnch more brilliant It was very treelr p-o-dlctedhere

chances ot profit under such h system hap-
?enedtobe. But Mr, Grau has evidently con
lnced tbem that such u plan U ss suitable
in London as It is here, whether tt is possible
in any other city in the world or not
The engagement of Mme. Molbauoubllesshad
some effect In establishing the toundneim of this
method tor London. Sho was the most brilliant
feature of tbe season, but was not engaged until
it wo certain Mil. Calve could not appear with
tho company. Then she SAng several times at

Derplte the not Infrequent arrest of men
like W. A. Bellwood on the cborgo of swindling
Jewellers, the practice of selling goods on moci
orandum soems to flourish among the dealer
In precious stones in this city, and there have
been many lotsca through it of which the publlo
knows nothing.
"This system of curbstone brokers ha done
more to lnjiito the Jewelry business and cor
rupt good men thai, .my other Influence," sold a
Jeweller yesterday. "It flourishes because of
the great rivalry that exists in our business. I
know some firms in this town who will give
thousands of dollars' worth of Jewelry on
memorandum to men about whom thoy know
3 ry llttlo. There are a lot ot these meraoruu
um men who have been in tbe business for
yearn, and whose credit Is good for any amount,
and thero are others who have nothing back
of them, and when they get In a hole they
pawn their goods and disappear. Four year
ago there was a young clerk in a Maiden lane
Louse who thought ho could make more money
outside, and he obtained a lot of Jewels on
memorandum from hU honvi. He was success
ful from the start, and with his increased In
come ho began to (ramble. Within two years
he disappeared, taking with him Jewelry north
810,000. Ho has since been heard from In
South America."
If Mrs. Mary Hansen of Brooklyn, who
swindled Dr. ChrUtopbcr Lout out of 810,000,
should prove to ne ins notorious .mien 1'eclt,
tho exploit will simply add another chapter to
the record ot one of the most persistently crim
inal vuu.n In this country. In tba opinion of
the No York police Ellen Peck is the cleverest
woman owindler with whom tbey have ever
had to deal. She w.ia never a prepossessing
looking woman, but nhe was plausible enough
in her itorirs to deceive many clever mon. One
of her victims was a patent mcdlclno mrn in
this city about fifteen years ago. Mr. Peek
told hira that she bad a friend in Jay Gould's
office who kept her lnfoimod on ual of Mr.
Gould's stock transactions. Tho patent medi
cine man paid hor .'7.000 for her tips, on
which ho speculated. He discovered later that
Mr. Gould 1 ad been telling the very stocks
that bo had been buying, and his losses wore
bavy. Mra, Peck has escaped punlshm.iut
for her crimes several times by feigning in
sanity and .pending a few months in some
asylum.
A Tenderloin pawnbroker, familiarly known
as "Pop," whose liberal loans have frequently
assisted embarrassed mombers ot the theatrical
profession, has announced that he Is going out
of buslnoss because he ho lost faith in human
ity. His present dlfgust for tho buslnos is
due to his uusolflsh friendship for a young man
who was a regular customer, This young man
had been in tho habit of pawning his entire
wardrobe aud all his Jewolry whenever his al
lowance ran short At tho end of three months
his mother Invariably rcducmed them, und
undor theso circumstances "Pop" felt hlmsolt
Justified in giving tho young mun a liberal loan
ou his security, unfortunately some of the
youivr man's friends learned of this arrango
inent and thoy pooled all their unnecessary
clothes and a lot of old Jewelry and sont it
around to thn pawnshop in the ramo ot
"Pop's" regular cUHtomer. Tho pnwnbrokor

and incidentally his faith in human nature.

Miss Walker took her maiden namo vthcu ebo

studied In Dresden and then made hor operutlo

happened that Vienna vas thei. much in neod
ot a good contralto to replace one who after
sevoral years of popularity had lost hor voice.
Tbvro wore many uppllcants for the place, but
none of them had proved satisfactory. In for

customary to try tho slngors before they are
permanently engugod, and Mlks Wnlkor in

pearing In "La Julve" first The superiority
of her voice was Immediately recognizee, and
tho young American aspirant won engaged.
She had a long time to wait before a good op
portunity camo to hor. There were ringers In
the company who nail previous claims on tho
roles, nnd Miss Walkers strongest Impression
on the mibllo was not made until Klenzla opera,
"Tho Kvangellft." was given. It was then
that tbe merit" of tho young singer were recog

On arriving at tbe hospital tho surgeons recog

herself in great pain. Sho was In such agony
that sho screamed loudly In tho railroad car.
The conductor nnd one of the brakemen found
it necessary to hold hor until the train arrived
at Fishklll Landing.
"I questioned her closely for tho purpoio of
finding out wbetbor she had eaten anything
that might huve mado her tick. Sho said that
it cculdn't hao been an) thing that rhc had

sho boarded tho train at Staatsburg, While

rho certainly bad not poisoned herself. Selma
hod no occasion to commit suicide. She was a

Truax estcrday. The decision sa) :
"It is alleged In the Indictment that on the
25th day ot June. 1897, the petitioner and one

of New York, feloniously allure. Inveigle, and

of Newtown, In said county of Queens, did on
the 25lb day of June, 1807, murder the said
William Gleldsensuppe in the sold town of New

leged In said Indictment thu t tho said crlmo of

Nov- York and partly In the county of Queens,
and that the act constituting said offence oc
curred, some In the county ot Now York and
somo lu tho county ot Queens.
" I am not required to determine on this appli
cation whether the peoplo can prove the alleira
tlons of this Indictment It is enough to warrant
rro lu dismissing the writ that the indictment
alleges tbnt the crime of murder was commlitsi
li'irtly in the county of New York and pirt'y in
the county of Quoona. If tbe murder uos ao
