Chicago, 111., Dec. 21.?The colored population of Chicago is on edge in anticipation of the "grand ball" to be given to-morrow night, the proceeds of which will be employed in an attempt to save Thomas Jennings, the "finger print" burglar, from the gallows. Jennings, a negro ex-convict, was recently convicted of the murder of Clarence Hiller, whose house he is alleged to have entered for the pur J pose of roDDery. linger prints leit in the soft paint on a rear porch railing were the principal evidence against the negro. The proceeds of the ball will be used to carry the case to the supreme court for a ruling on the admiesibilty of "finger print evidence" in atrial. Starving in Woods. Duluth, Minn., Dec. 24.?Amid the calls of a pack of - hungry wolves which were arested by the cries of her four-year-old daughter, Mrs. Walter Da:*rah, who alleges she was deserted by heir husband, gave birth six days ago to a baby in a partially roofless shad: near Pelican lake, this county. To-day she and her two infants were found, surrounded by the , most appalling conditions. For a week previous to the birth Of the child, Mrs. Darrah had been critically ill and only the services of the four-year-old child were extended to her during that and the ensuing periods, and up to to-day when hunters seeking wolf pelts came to the shack containing the woman and her children. The weather had been extremely cold. There had been no food and no fire in the cabin for the past week and mother and children were on the point of starvation. The little girl had started, bare-footed, to a spring for water when found. Duluth au-? ' 1 1-1 ? ~ t tnonues nave utaeu cuarstr u- iuc family. ? Coast Line Engineer Killed. Tampa,. Fla., Dec. 25.?While driving train No. 24, of the Atlantic Coast Line, near Winter Garden, early Christmas eve, Engineer W. H. Burke, one of the oldst and best known men in the service, was shot and instantly killed by an unknown man, who fired at the train as it was passing. Conductor Christey took the train to Trilby, where officers were notified and are now making a thorough search. As Burke is not known to have had enemies, it is believed that the shot was fired by some drunken man, who thought it would be fun to shoot up a train. The company is offering $200 reward for the arrest of the guilty party. Burke leaves a wife and two children. O'Riley is one of the few photographers who returns to a town after the first visit.

Ansel indicated to-day by commuting to ten years' imprisonment the death sentence of John Cuffey, colored, that he does not believe the "unwritten law" to be applicable, exclusively, to white men. Cuffey killed in Greenville, on December 12, 1908, his wife, but the fatal shot was fired, not at her, but at a white man, Jesse Fuller, who had established a criminal intimacy with Cuffey's wife. Fuller was afterward tried for murder in another case and acquitted on an alibi. Cuffey was to have- been hanged at Greenville on January 5." An appeal to the Supreme Court was taken for Cuffey and was withdrawn, Cuffey being resentenced last month. In his order of commutation, Gov. Ansel says: "I must say from the evidence, I am very much horrified at the part taken by the white man, Jesse Fuller, who was one of the players in this horrible, case. Governor Pardons 100 Convicts. Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 23.?Clemency for more than 100 long term prisoners who for years have served the State in the coal mines of North A lahnrriA ond elnewhere as leased conyicts was granted by Gov. Comer to-day, and can be directly attributed to the genius of Lord Byron. Before the governor made his annual trip through the prisons, he reread Byron's "Prisoner of Chillon." The thought of the hopelessness of prison confinement so eloquently told by the poet struck the governor forcibly. "I gave the matter careful consideration," said the governor, "and I could find no good reason for keeping these men who had, served so long and so disastrously to their own health and happiness." These paroles are issued only to prisoners who have good prison records and in practically every case the board of pardons were heartily in accord with them. How "Fire Water" Originated. When the Hudson Bay Trading Company began its trading among the Indians it was found that by selling the Indians liquor they could more easily be induced to trade their peltries. The first whiskey, or intoxicant of inferior quality, was distilled in England and brought to America in large barrels, but in transporting it overland it was found more convenient to divide it into small kegs. The traders soon became aware of | the fact that by distilling the whis-i key with water more furs*could be obtained. This was practiced for some time, but the Indians learned that good whiskey poured on a fire would cause it to flame up, whereas, had the whiskey been diluted; the fife wpuld be quenched. It was by this simple experiment that the term "fire water" became a common word among Indians. A chief who had experienced the bad effects of whiskey among his people said it was most certainly distilled from the hearts of wildcats and the tongues of women, from the effects it produced. Miss Xania Easferling, from the College for Women, Columbia, is spending the holidays at home. Capt. W. A. Riley and family will move in a few days to Mr. G. P.
