IMSDOS, Dec. ltt Copyright If it
Is true that Mrs. Maybrick was hopelessly
ill she would be released at once br the
Home Secretary, as it is the custom to
grant release in all cases to dying prisoners,
if their friends are desirous to receive and
care for them.
It is impossible to reconcile the state
ments made about Mrs. Maybrick's illness,
but there is no reason to doubt the sin
cerity of the representations made by her
mother, the Baroness de Roqnes. Certain
that it is that Mrs. Maybrick, who has long
been in the hospital, was so low on Monday
last that the Governor of the prison sent
for her mother to hasten to her bedside. In
alettrr received by The Dispatch corre
spondent to-day from the Baroness, she
gives the following interesting particulars
about her daughter's case:
1-have no news sinc,e yesterday, when
my daughter was worse, having had a bad
night and being incapable of retaining food.
Any recurrence of hemorrhage or a fainting
fit will prove fatal, and she now appears to
be sinking. That her life was prolonged on
Monday is entirely due to the prompt action
xnd untiring attention ot Drs. Byrnes and
Wynant.
Very Near Death, Tet Rallied.
'jTht Governor, though restricted in his
'liberty of making a report to me by the
rules, has said he never saw anyone so near
death and rally. When he humanely tele
graphed for me he did not expect me to
find her alive, although I was here in eight
hours. The first words my daughter said,
in a whisper of weakness, on my arrival,
were that I owed her life to the heroic
efforts of these two physicians and their
continued care ot her. Since she did Dot
expect to see me again she had all her last
wishes known, had received the
last sacrament of the Church and
on oath had declared her inno
cence of any act, attempt or
intent against her husband. Had she died
an Monday I conclude he is right in telling
me that oath would be an attested paper
for next of kin. As my only son, at ex
actly her age, died of rapid comsumption,
taken in December and died in March,
with just her symptoms, end, as I was
privileged to nurse him, X know the dis
ease and I have no hope of my daughter's
recovery. It is too late. She has been
having hemorrhages from the lungs for
tome time, and, knowing her brother's fate,
ihe petitioned Mr. Asquith for a release
before sue became incurable. I. am sure
bad the pathology and the family history
been known to the authorities they would
haTe understood differently.
The Comfort of Hope Wanted.
'I(desire the one comfort of hope to be
extended to her. Unless she can rally now,
with the hope of at least dying outside the
prison and in my care, I do not think she
will survive Christmas. I have seen her
only for a lew moments at a time, and it is
by an unusual privilege from the humane
Governor that I am permitted to do even
this, and am as near her as I can be out
side, to be within call day or night, since I
may not remain with her."
The official report about the prisoner is
very different. The Baroness called the
Home Secretary's attention to the matter
immediately after leaving her daughter's
bedside on Monday. Mr. Asquith referred
the matter to the medical authorities of the
prison, and their report was received at the
Home Office to-day. They say that Mrs.
Maybrick is not seriously ill, and Mr. As
quith thererore announces that he will not
Interfere.
On the authority of a gentleman well ac
quainted with Home Office affairs, it is said
that there exists a stroug reason for the ap
parently unmerciful attitude taken by the
Government in this case. To offset the
weakness of the evidence which led to the
commutation of the original sentence of
death, it is said that certain cumulative
evidence of guilt not used at the trial was
brought to the Home Secretary's attention.
It was explained by those who produced
this evidence that they did not desire to see
the extreme penalty of the law inflicted,
and so withheld it at the trial. They did
not however, wish to see the convicted
woman escape with a slight punishment.
"FBAHCIS JOSEPH IN HIGH DUDGEON.

VIENNA, Dec 10. Emperor Francis
Joseph is greatly irritated over the recent
course of events in Hungary. It has been
customary for him to go on hunting expedi
tions In the royal preserves at Buda-Pesth,

royal palaces are situated. Hunting dogs
are kept at both places, and in their care

President Carnot Believed to Be the Au
thor or the Crisis Why Loubet Is Still
In Harness A Committee to Investigate
the Chamber,
ST CABLE TO TltE DISPATCH.!
Lo'iiDOlf, Dec 10. All prance is still
watching with unflagging interest the de
velopment of the 'Panama scandal. The
patching up ol the Cabinet is everywhere
regarded as a temporary affair and has left
the stage clear for the working out of the
great national melodrama.
There is good reason for believing that
Carnot himself was the cause of the fall of
the Loubet Cabinet or rather of the Bicard
end of it A prominent member of the
chamber did not hesitate to cay to The
Dispatch correspondent yesterday "that
President Carnot dictated the course of the
Minister of Justice in the matter of the
Panama Investigating Commission. The
action of the Chamber has compelled at
least an apparent modification ot that
policy, and so much has since transpired
regarding the great corruption that it is
now quite too late to squelch this investi
gation. The Dispatch's Paris correspondent
met M. Loubet the day alter the Cabinet
reformed. The Minister of the Interior
stopped him and said: "Well, you are sur
prised to see me again in harness, after
what I said to you ten days ago? Office is
a burden to me" as much now as then, but I
considered it my dutv to assist in putting
an end to the crisis. It is from patriotic
motives only that I am back asain. I ac
cepted the post as a soldier accepts and
obeys his captain's orders."
M. Loubet declined to sav what would be
the policy of the new Cabinet in the mat
ter of the difficulty between the Judiciary
and the Investigating Committees ot the
Chamber.
At the session to-day of the Panama Com
mittee, M. Brisson, the President, stated
that he agreed with the proposal made by
Jf. Bourgeois, Minister of Justice, tnat a
sub-committee of seven members of the
commission, including its President, be ap
pointed to examine the Panama legal docu
ments to ascertain if any members of the
Chamber of Deputies were compromised in
the scandal. The sub-committee was then
selected. It was decided to keep secret the
contents of the documents, whether favor
able or unfavorable to the Panama defend-,
ants. M. Bourgeois to-day communicated
to the committee a schedule of 490 legal
documents bearing on the affairs of the com
pany that are in possession of the Procurer.
A ROYAL HEART AT AUCTION.
Something to Boose Even Blase Paris Into
Unfeigned Interest.
BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London'. Dec. 10. A royal heart on the
auction block is the btrange and gruesome
spectacle which will rouse even blase Paris
into nnfeigned interest in a few days. It.
is said to be the heart ol the unhappiest of
all French princes, the Dauphin, son of
Louis XVL and Marie Antoinette, and it
has Deen preserved for 97 years in a jaf of
spirits where it was placed by the famous
surgeon Pell e tan, who made an autopsy in
the temple. The history of the relio is
authentic The only question is whether the
boy who died in the temple in 1795 was the'
real Dauchin or a child who had been sub
stituted for the Prince when the bpy died.
Pelletan and three colleagues assigned
made a post mortem, and during an inter
val when his associates went to the window
chatting, Pelletan removed the heart fr6m
the body, wrapped it in his handkercHlfcf
and slipped it into his pocket He pre
served the relic in a vessel of brandy until
Louis XVlII. became "king, in 1817, when
he offered to give the heart to the King for
royal burial. Louis neither refuted nor
accepted Pelletan's offer, and Pelletan then
sent the relic to the sacristy of the arch
bishopric ot Paris. In 1833 the people Of
Paris sacked the archbishop's palace and
Dr. Jules Pelletan, son of the surgeon,
saved the royal relic at the risk of- his life.
He has recently died, and the heart, in its
reliquary, is to'.come to the hammer.

London, Deo. 10. A delightful little
story that will surely go the rounds of all
earth about a Princess and a cruel donkey
driver, gained publicity yesterday. It re
lates to an incident which happened in a
West End street yesterday afternoon, Al
though the name of the principal actor is
not published, I have learned that it i
none other than Princess May,
A costermonger was driving his donkey
barrow of irnit alopg the road. The
frowsy little beast was scarcely able to
move, and its master beat it continually
with a heavy stick. An elegant carriage
containing two ladies of course young
and beautiful drove up, and the prettier
of the fair occupants, observing the cruel
treatment of the little donkey, ordered her
coachman to stop. She begtred the donkey
driver to cease his blows, and when he re
fused, with some Insolence, she directed
her footman to take his stick Jroni him.
The order was obeyed with alacrity, and
thenjthe donkey owner turned upon his
fair critic and abased her. The young wo
man indignantly retorted that unless he
would promise to be kind to the donkev in
fnture she would give him in oustody. The
man, unabashed, replied that he would ap
ply for a summons for both footman and
mistress, and demanded her name for th,e
purpose. He got it Instantly.
Then there was an amusing transforma
tion. The cruel donkey driver became the
picture of repentance and apprehension,
literally dropped on his knees in the mud
and addressing the now smiling young
uoman as "your 'ighness," he besought her
royal pardon. He admitted that the little
donkey jack bad been a good old friend.and
confessing mat ne had served nim Dad,
added, "I'll never hit him again, no, so
help me 'taters, I won't"
A constable appeared in the midst of the
coster's prayer, and observing who was the
occupant pt the carriage, immediately pro
duced his pocketbook for the purpose of
entering a report The ladyf hovrever, with
gracious smile begged that lie would allow
the coster to depart, and after reading him
a homily on unkindness to animals, directed
the stick to be returned to him. The coster
broke it across his knee as a guarantee of

their promises in the English courts, and a
test case decided this week by the
Court ot Appeal establishes an in
teresting precedent for , America as
well. A year ago, when influenza
was prevalent, the Carbolic Smoke
Ball Company, in an advertisement guaran
teed immunity from the disease to every
body who used its remedy three times daily

Carlill used a smoke ball faithfully for
three weeks and then the epidemic seized
her. She sent in her claim tor 100, but it
wasn't paid, all sorts of excuses being
offered. It was argued that the offer was a
.mere device to attract attention, a. wager,
vague in its terms, and that there was not' a
complete contract because Mrs. Carlill dd
not notiiy her acceptance of the offer.
All these excuses have been brushed
aside by the courts in which Mrs. Carlill
brought suit Lord Justice Bowen, in his
decision, likens the case to the offer of a re

letters to the advertiser accepting his offer,

The apnouncement that a great syndicate
of capitalists has bought up more than 100,
000 aores of coal land it the West Virginia
mountains along the valley ofthe New
and Qanley rivers and Loup creek is of
wide importance to the industrial world.
Few recent enterprises are qo a larger
scale than the great cokipg works which
are soon to' light these charming river val
leys with fitful glare at night and 'wrap
them in clouds of sulphurous smudge mqst
of the day. The great extent of these ooal
deposits has been talked of in a general
way for some time, and the assertion has
been made that they rivaled in many re

Experts have pronounced the coal of
these mountains equal for coking purposes
to that of Connellsville.and the narrow and
beautiful vallevs of these winding moun
tain streams will be lined with hundreds of
ovens before another twelvemonth is over.
Prick and the other great coke operators pf
Pennsylvania will have to meet a new' and

Cheaper Fuel for the South.
The effect of this development upon the
iron and steel industry oi the nation is too
complex a theme for such an article as this.
In all likelihood it means cheaper fuel tor
the Southern furnaces and mills, and con
sequently a greater lease of power for them
and more force to their competition. The
single item of lower freight rates on fuel
because of the shorter haul will be very
important to all the industries of a wide
section.
The force of this newpompetitionincoke,
h'ower, is likely to also compel lower
prices for that fuel to the furnaces of Ohio
and Pennsylvania as' well as to those in the
South, so that the iron and steel industries
of the whole country will probably derive
some benefit. Thus is the interest of one
section the concern of all, for the opening
up of this new coking region will quite pos
sibly be a notable factor in the further
cheapening of iron and steel products for the
millions. The Chesapeake and Ohio Bail
road has built branches up the Ganley
river and Loup creek to accommodate
this new traffic and in anticipation of its
volume has also double-tracked its road,
the work being almost completed at this
time Since the steep walls of the New
river rise so closely to the water as in many
places not to allow of two main tracks side
by side, the second one is on the opposite
bank of the stream, and it is expected coke
ovens will be built near both wherever the
steep walls recede enough to permit of it
A Picturesquely Beautiful Region.
The 18 miles oT the New river which are
soon to thus become the center of a great

ot one ot the most picturesque and oeauu

iea. When one contemplates it now and
thinks of what it will ' be a year

of Buskin against modern, industrial
despoliation ' appear in a new light
and despite American zeai for the develop

fess a sympathy for Buskin's pleas and feel
the sting of regret that the wild beauty
which has given thousands of travelers de
light must be blasted by the touch of mod

Those who know its charms will mourn
for the old along the New next year and
forever after. The quiet 'of wooded glen
will be broken by the shrill whistle oi the

steep slopes, narking entrances to mines,

little recesses of the mountains and their

Great Changes In a Pew Tears.
A few, years sinoe the rush and shriek of

in winter and their whispering
choruses in summer and the mur

time rushing with foam and fury
upon its apparently endless task of cutting
even deeper its rocky channel, and wrest
ing some atom as guerdon from every stub
born boulder that disputed its way even
while, by its fall trom its strata above, it
mutely testified to the prowess of the
stream. In autumn, the same stream ed
died and rippled softly over the
rocks, with little crests of white where the
rapids are, or glided into glassy rools in
the shade of immense granite boulders.
Then, too, the magician of the season
waved the wand of 6oIor over tree-clad
mountain sides, and glories of the rainbow
shone forth, while here and there grav
ledges and dark green of pines, unmoved
by autnmn's witcheries, stood out in con
trast with the kaleidoscope in which maple
and chestuut, hickory and second-growth
oak, beech and sumac blushed and glowed
and burned and shone in Exquisite, ever
varying combinations of color harmony.

Eaves a Mmi 95,000.
Chicago, Dec. 10. Special By the
strange and almost miraculous intervention
of circumstances, Prank Morton, superin
tendent of construction of the new Art In
stitute, was saved the loss of a $5,000 draft
to-dav. Morton' office was formerly in the
Art Institute, bdt he has moved to an im
provised office in the yard adjacent to the
new buildipg, To-day a carrier delivered
at the Art Institute two letter addressed to
Morton. The messenger ripped them, open,
but found'hi mistake before he examined
the contents.
The manager sent his office boy to remall
the letters, but instead of dropping them
both in the box one fell to the pavement.
Morton walked out of the Victoria Hotel
and started for a stroll downtown. Suddenly
he noticed a letter on the pavement. Turn
ing it oyer he saw his own name on the
face, and when he pulled out the content
he found a (5,000 draft.

New Yoke, Dec. 10. Little Zelda San
ders will 'take a bill to Albany next Febrn-j
ary when the Legislature sits to legalize
the performance of children on the stage.
She is but 9 years old, and is President' of
the Anti-Gerry Society, composed of '
thousand stage children and their mother
and hundreds of adult Thespians, organized!
to oppose Mr. Gerry's plan. The theatrical
managers had a bill passed last winter,
but Mr. Gerry found holes in then
law and prevented Mayor Grant)
from licensing children as provided
by the act. 'Assemblyman Stein, who)
LilCle Mia Sanden.
By courtesy-of Sarony.l
introduced the bill, would get no mother to
consent to allow her child to act as plaintiff
in a test case. Little Zelda heard of tha
trouble and without her mother's consent'
came over from her home in Brooklyn one
day, and the case of "Zelda Sanders vs. .
Mayor Grant" began. Mrs. Sanders was
frightened when she heard the news, but
didinot withdraw the action.
Tbfs suit led to tbe organization of ths
Anti-Gerry Society, 30 little Thespians
gathering first at Zelda's call in her Brook-'
lyn home. At the nrst meeting the follow.
ing officers were elected: Zeld3 Sanders, ago
9, President; Beatrice AVillard, 13, Vies.
President; Edith "Widmer, 13, Secretary;
Lilly Kline, 7, Treasurer.
The society has been immediately suc
cessful and now occupies spaeious beadquar-c
ters at No. 121 West Twenty-third street,,
New York. Zelda was very active during'
the political campaign. When not attend-1
ing rehearsals she was calling upon pros-i
Eective Assemblymen, 20 out of 21 of whom,
ave promised to vote for any bill the littla
aitator takes to Albany next February,
when the Anti-Gerry Society will send its
juvenile delegates to lobby for their cause.
