Bofore sontonoo was passod, tho assassin evidenced a dosirc to speak, but ho oould not got his voioo above a whisper and his words woro repeated to tho court by his oounscl. "Thero was no one else but mo," the prisonor said in a whisper. "Mo ono elso told me to do it and no ono paid mo to do it. L was not told anything about tho orimo and L u?.vor thought anything about mat util a coupio ol days before i ooniuiittod tho orme." Czolgotz tat dov/D. llo was ?juito oalm, but it was evident that his mind was tiouded with ihoughls of his own distress.

Tho prisoner was brought into tho room at 5 minutes to 2. Five minutes later Justice Whito took his plaoo upon tho bonoh. As soon asJustioo Whito assumed tho bonoh, Crior Hoss said: "Pursuant to a reooss, this trial term of tho supromo court is now open for tho transaction of business." Distriot Attorney Ponnoy said: "If your honor ploaao, 1 movo sontonoo in tho oaso of tho pcopio vs. Loon Ozolgosz. Ssand up, Czolgosz." Olerk Fishor swore tho prisonor and his record was takon by tho district attorney as follows: Ago 28 yean; nativity, Detroit; residonee, Broadway, Nowak, iiutialo; occupation, laborer. ittarriod or Binglo, singlo. Dogreo of education, common sohool and paroohial. Koligious instruction, Oatholio. Paronts, father living, mother dead. Temperate or intomperato, tompcrato. Former cou< viotion of orimo, nono. Tho olork of tho court thon asked: "Havo you any legal causo to show now why tho soutonco ot tho court should not bo now pronounced against you?" ''I oannot hoar that," ropliod tho prisoner. ''Clerk Fiuhor repoatcd his question and Czolgotz ropliod: "I'd rather havo this gontlomen horo speak," looking towaros District Attorney Pennoy, "1 oan hoar him hotter," At this point Justioo White told thoso in the oourt room that thoy must bo quiet or they would bo excluded from tho room. Mr. Ponnoy thon said to tho prisonor: ' Czolgotz, tho court wants to know if you have any reason to givo why sontonoo should not be pronouoocd against you. Havo you anything to say to tho judge? Bay yes or uo." Tho prisoner did not reply and Justice White, addressing tho prisoner, said: "in this behalf, what you havo a light to say relates explicitly to tho subject in hand at this tirno and which the law provides, why sentonoo should not bo now pronounocd against you and is defined by tho statuo. "Tho first is that you may olaiin that you are insane. "The next is that you havo good oause to oifor either in am a* of the judgment about to be pronounced against you, or for a now trial, 'lhoto are the grounds specified by the stature in whioh ycu have a right to speak at this time and you are at porteot liberty to do so if you wish." Tho prisoner replied: "I havo nothing to say about that." Tho court said: "Aro you ready?" Mr. Ponnoy replied: "Yes." "Have you anything tosay?Maskod Justioo Whito. "Yes," roplicd the priaonor. "1 think ho should bo permitted to mako a Btatomont in exculpation of his aot if tho oourt please," said Judge Titus. Tho oourt replied: "That will depend upon what his itatoment is." Justioo white then said: "Have you (speakina to Judge Titus) anything to "1 bavo nothing to say within tho definition of what your honor has road," replied tho attorney, "but it seems to mo in ordor that tho innooont should not suffer by this defendant's orimo, tho oourt bhould permit him to oxoulpato at least his father, brother amd sisters." Fioul tho oourt: "Cortainly, if that is tho objcot of aoy statement ho wishos to make, proceed." Tho prieonor paid: "Thoro was no one so but mo. No ono else to do it, and o ono paid mo to do it:" Judgo Titus ropoated as follows: ' Owing to tho prisoner's feeblo voioo, he said no ono had anything to do with tho commission of his orimo but himself; that his father and mother and no ono else htd anything to do with aud know nothing abcut it." Tho priaonor oontinued: "I was not told anything about that criino and I never thought anything about muidjr until a couple of days boforo 1 commuted the crime." Judgo Titus &(',ain ropoated as follows: "Ho novor told any ouo about tho orimo and novor intended to commit 1 it until a ocuplo day boforo its commission. " Tixon Justioo Whito passed scntanoo as follows: "In taking tho lifo of our beloved president you committed a crime whioh shocked and outraged tho moral sol a i of tho oivitizcd world.

Mother of President Roosevelt Loved the South AND THE "LOST CAUSE." Hung a Confederate Flag From the Window of Her New YorK Heme During the Civil War V'rom tho fathor's sido may havo oorno soiuo of tho blood that gave President Roosevelt his indomitable spirit, but certain it is that tho maternal branch was rich in that quality that marked tho Bulloohs of Gcocgia for tneir resolution, pertinacity and strength of will. No hotter oxponont of those traits oould be found than Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, tho mother of tho prosidont, says tho Savannah Morning News. Not long aftor tho oivil war Mrs Roosovelt was on a visit to Savannah, where sho had many friends. Sho was a Georgia woman of distinguished ancestry, tho Bulloch family being one of tho best in tho state, and its distiuo lion in tho highest positions. It was but natural, tbereforo, that sho should hs,vo been well received upon hor visit to this oity, and that thoro r-hould havo bonu rare ploasuro to hor, and unroooti I struotid "robel," in hor ir' rooureo) with hor own people, tho*? had fought and bled upon the ?. battle or fought tho greater fight vi waitiug and watohing. Reunion with hor southern friend*, after tho years of tho war that slio had spent at hor homo in Now York, was a plcasuro to Mrs. Roosevelt, and it was with tho koonost rolif-h that sho rooouni cd stories of the times aod of tho trials that sho Hufforcd in tho oity of her adoption through her unswerving loyalty to tho o&uso of tho south?a oauso iu which ono brothor, Irvino I. Bulloch, fought as an effioor aboard tho oruiscr Alabama, and which another brother rcprcsonted at Kngland's capital city. Ono of theso Btorics oloarly revealed tho character of tho woman aud leaves littlo difficulty in dotormiuiog whonoo tho president gots soiao of thoso qualities that havo tended to his proferment. It was at a dinner givon in Mrs. Roosevelt's honor by Mrs. Iloniiotla S. Cohen, that sbo told tho story. Of lato years, bcoauso of Thcodoro Roosevolt's rapid advanoomont, it has beon rooalled by his mothers old friends, who fool pridj in having known tho mother of tho prosident, and gladly asoribo to hor eorno of tho traits that arc seen in tho son. Lt was just whon tho spirit of poaoo, unoortain as to whothor it should alight, was hovering over tho land. Now York was aflame with passionate patriotism, and anything smaokingof tho Confedoraoy was not tolerated. Fooling ran high, and woo was it for any who bravod tho popular tido and ahnwnrl * -.1 tho oauso of tho Bouth. Thoodoro lloosovolt, tho oldor, dooidod at about that timo to givo hoiuo groat social fuootion. Tho lloosovolt mansion was aooordingly bravoly docked in hunting and with American flags. From ovory window, Bavo ono, flow tho Stars and Stripos. That ono wau of Mrs. Kooaovolt'fl boudoir. Ilor hus band had not designed to omit it from tho dooorativo Bchomo, but sho would havo nono of it. Instead, sho hit upon a plan that would oloarly rovoal her scntimonts. Stopping not to oonsidor tho poril in whioh it might plaoo her and her husband, but dotcrminod to show that all in that house woro not of the oauso of the north, sho drow from among hor most ohorishsd troasuros the stars and bars, tho omblom of tho south, doing to tho window, sho firmly fixed its staff and allowod its folds to flutter from tho broczo. On tho instant, almost, tho hostilo onHign was noted. A passorby in the stroot bolow dosoribed it. In hot indignation, ho pointed it out to anothor. Ab mobs will. SO one bairan in armor , "'o?

Tho lioosovelt nattiro has novor quailed boforo a orowd. l'hoodoro, the eldor, saw that imminont linger oould probably bo avortod only through his persuading his wifo to ronovo iho objectionable (lag.

An Iuvention More Wonderful Than Wirelesa Telegrauhy. Moro wonderful than wireless telography is tho disoovory of a modo of printing without tho employment of ink orany \ i<mont whatevor. Tho proooss was acoidontally discovered by Mr. b'rioso-Groono, who was worL'.og in his laboratory ondoavoring to pcrfcot a process for tho roporduotion of photographs in natural colors. Tho process as doBoribed in tho last number of tho American 1'rcsB is interesting. "it would socio that in tho last disoovory had boon found that long sought desidoraturu of the ancient alchemists, tho "great arcanum." or art of trans rnutiog metals, for tho different colors in this inkloss printing process aro produced by using different metals for typos. Thus tho action of electricity upon typos of blocks of ooppcr producos a grocn lmprossion; brass, brown; zino, follow; gold, orango; and by troating cho paper with potash tho invontor is ablo to print in md from types faced with silver. All theso oolors oan bo produood at tho satin time and with rabidity exoccdiDg even tho ra?o at which newspapers aro turned olf tho pross by presont procossos. Photographs may be roproduocd without intrrvon tiou of a "scrooou" and with all tho ex quisito detail to bo seen in the original. It will cot bo long before our magazines and newspapers will bo brougut out beautifully illustrated in colors and at a cost muoli less than at present, owing not only to tho saving in inks and in attendance, but to tho rapidity with which tho ii.kltss maohiuos ma> bo op oratod. Kioo rieal printing machines oin be run, tho invoutor olaiuis, at a much greater spot.d than the present uay porfcoting prosscs, for tho ho ion ib 1.0 quick that a strong, olear improt-sion is produood by tho contact of typo with papor during oven a thousandth part of a second. Tho only radical doparturo is in tho prcssos, tho iuk rolls boing douo away with entirely, so that tho necessary amount of timo and labor involved in their preparation and oaro may bo avavoidud. Tho invention may be adopted, it is said, to any maohino at prcsont used, which may bo oonvortod into one for elootrioal printing without any great ohango or oxponso, it boiug necessary only to removo tho ink rolls and mako tho oleotrioal connections and, of oourso, to uso tho nowly invontod types. Tho now printing maohino is simplo, oompaot and inexpensive as oomnarcd with tho intrioato prosHos now in uso and oan bo sot up and oporatid whorovor suifioiont clootrioal powor is available.
