All this because of humanity's interest in the future of a chilel, lest stigma, unjust tho it might be. should attach to an inno cent life begun in a prison cell. The release of Mrs. Brennan may refsult from an appeal taken from the district court. The filing of the notice of appeal makes it possible for the prisoner's counsel to move the judges of the supreme court for a stay of execution pending the hearing of the appeal. The justices may grant this motion and order the release of the woman upon the furnishing of a bond which they shall fix. It is believed to be in a child's behalf that a motion for a stay of sentence will be urged. The notice of an appeal in the Bren nan case has awakened interest in the case, and many are wondering what has becojme of the other actors in the domestic tragexly. James Brennan, the father of the murdered children, has left Minneapolis and his exact whereabouts are unknown. Tommy Brennan, the boy who was cruelly marked for life by one of the bullets said to have been fired by his step mother, and whose evidence was the most potent cause of her conviction, is living with his uncle in Chicago and is going to school.

Obeying orders, the old manhand* jumped to his feet in the middle of the track and, with a stick in one hand and a half-eaten banana in the other, he wildly waved and shouted in an attempt to stop the department teams. The driver held his galloping steeds to their course. Just in time the watch man realized that his efforts were in vain, and leaped to one side.

HOBNOBBED WITH FREAKS Charles Harris a Product of Old Mu seum Vaudeville Days. Charles Harris, the veteran fun manu factuicr, who has done pretty much everything in the theatrical line and has finally settled down to monolog and the business of making people laugh who pay their money, is the comedy feainre of the Unique's big vaudeville bill this week. Mr. Harris has had a v%ried experience from one end of the country to the other. He was a vaudeville artist when there were no theaters devoted to that style of entertainment. Mr. Harris says they called them dime mujseums in those davs, for the museum, with its freaks, etc., evolved the vaudeville stunt an "stunters," according to the veterad showman. Mr. Harris, like Lew Dockstader, tries to keep abreast of the times in his funny business. He reads the news papers as if he were paid space rates for the task and he picks up every -joke therein contained. AH the good jokes that he can steal, he steals. All the news items that Irave a funny twist to them, or that he Can get a .joke out of, he absorbs. It "is twenty years since Harris ap peared in Minneapolis to renew ac quaintance with old "Pop" Wiggins of Sackett & Wiggins. He talks of "the turtle boy," "the camel girl" and many odd and strange freaks of that period" I am glad the freak business is playing out," he said.

VA &\ it* i *&"* John Kelley and William Gannon Are the Names Given by Prisoners Ac cused of Bobberies- in Minneapolis, and Burglaries May Be Added to the Accusations. Two alleged footpads were arrested last night and the police believe that thev have made a valuable capture, as stolen property has been found in their ?ively ossession and both men have been posi identified. The men give the names of John Kel ley and William Gannon, but the latter also uses the name of William McEwan. There are two charges of highway rob bery against both men. Last night about 11 o'clock G. E. Bakeman of 43 Fourth street S was held up on Fourth^ street near Seventh ave nue and relieved of a watch and about $10 in cash. About 1:30 last night Wil liam Mclntyre was held up in a similar manner in the Midway district and robbed of 40 cents. The twin city police got busy and in a short time John Kelley was arrested St. Paul. A watch was kept on the interurban cars, all of which were boarded by the Prior avenue police. The conductor of one car took op a suspicious-looking passenger just after the police had got off and when he reached Seven Corners notified Patrolman J. P. Larson, who took the man to the south station. He gave the name of Gannon and on being searched waB found to carry four watches and about $5 in money. A wat and a copper coin have been identified by Mr. Bakeman. He also identifies ttie men. McEwan admits both holdups, but Kelley maintains his innocence. It is possible that other crimes may be fastened on the men. A number of saloons in South Minne apolis were burglarized last Tuesday night, among them Tony Tobiason's at Tenth avenue and Washington. Some splotches of blofcd .were found here and there, indicating that one of the burglars had cut himself. McEwan is said to have a fresh cut on his The men deny all knowledge of the saloon robberies.
