Hartford, Conn., Dec. 21. Mts. Mary Rockbauer, of 242 West Fifty-third street. New York, gave important tes timony in the Sachse murder trial at Mlddletown today. She has a summer home at Kllllngworth nnd on the night of the murder she went out to her chicken coop after supper. While there she heard a light wagon come up the hill from Durham and toward the Hotchklss house. It stopped by her barn and she smelted cigar smoke from It. When she reached her house a lit tle past S o'clock she heard the wagon go by very quickly and ten or fifteen minutes Inter she heard a heavy team going In the same direction. Ten minu tes later she heard a shot, und live minutes after the shot she heard ami saw the light wagon come back by Ium' house, the horse on the deau run. It was a dark night and she could not dis tinguish who was in the wagon, Hit Khe thought there were two persons In It Her husband confirmed her story. Blood experts for the defence testi fied that measurements of blood cor puscles are not trustworthy, and the defence will assert that the minute measurements submitted by Dr. Wolff should not be considered In the en deavor to prove that fresh human blood was upon the boots of Suehse. Several witnesses testified that they saw Sachse going home the afternoon of the shooting. FSUD BETWEEN RICIIARDSONS. ISrolhcrs of Gin. Clnv's Girl Wife Tnke to Shooting nt finch Other.

Through it all, an ever indulgent public has accepted conditions as they were, and made the best of shopping opportunities. To the thousands upon thousands who have made this store their holiday headquarters, and to the countless numbers who expect to be a part and parcel of our business during the future, we beg to express this morning our sincerest and heartiest best . wishes for a Merry, Merry Christmas We feel obligated to the public of Scranton and vicinity who have so warmly welcomed and actively participated in the opening business of this great store, and earnestly advocated its success. We want you to become better acquainted with us and the store to come and go, and feel at home. Wander through the aisles and feast your eyes at will, with no one to ques tion your right to be here. Politeness and courtesy are prime factors in this business. From day to day, we shall have stories to tell you of saving possibilities. We never advance prices our motto is to reduce them.

It has, indeed, been said that her first husband suggested the divorce which made It possible for her to become Lady Mlllals. At all events, she wus divorced from her husband In lS.'l, and shortly after ward married Mlllals, who vvas."t that time one of the handsomest men In England.

Lady Mlllals was heroic her marriage a ulil of little experlunce. nnd when Bhe met Huski'n admired his position ornitifif SONS Store. and talents. In spite of tho liand rances to their marriage, with which she was acquainted, her life with Ilus kln was happy until the meeting with Mlllals, who was at that time only 21 years old. After their marriage she figured as the model for some of the artist's best known pictures. Among these were "The Huguenot Lovers," "The Order of Release" and ''The Valo of Rest." Hi nil of these the woman depicted was ills wife. MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION. TJio Pope's r.ncyciiciil Letter Pub lished nt Rome. Rome, Dec. 21. The pope's encyclical on thes Manitoba school question is published hero this e:veiiing. After re calling the rellginus history' of Canada and eulogizing its scholastic institu tions, his holiness expiesses regret nt the decisions taken seven years ago, in Manitoba, relative to the Cntholln schools, and points out tlio rights of Catholics, according to the federal agi cement. Continuing, the nope condemns a school aysU m based on religious neu trality, praises the Sieal the bishops have displayed on tho Question, re grets tlu'.t the Catholics aio not equal lv united, owing to political passions, and admits that the authorities havo done something lo diminish the Incon veniences of the Manitoba school legis lation but ills holiness declarers this to be inadequate and exhorts Catholics to persist In claiming nil the rights, though they must not refiiFo nnv par tial reparations obtainable, with' tho view to l educe the peii's of the educa tion of youth. In conclusion the encyclical says that I in the event of these being1 obtainable, j Catholics should provide their own s'.hools and adopt under the culdnnc of their bishop a programme of study consistent with their religion und alt literary and scientific progress.
