TESTIFYING FOR SACHSE.
Now Vorli Woman Throws Doubt on
the Hotchlciss .llurder.
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.

Tnke to Shooting nt finch Other.
Valley View' K.v Dee. 21. A feud
exists between t'lel Rlchurdson and his

nichnnlson and Clcl, Will firing live
times at Clel and retreating under
Clel's upraised bowle knife. Soon af
terward John Richardson and AVIU
Bryant had a despeinte light. Bryant
made a motion as If to draw a pistol,
when John knocked him down. Bry
ant arose with a board In his hand,
with which he struck RlchanU'on. They
fought several minutes, when Bryant
withdrew to gt a revolver. When he
returned with the weapon John had
gone home. Doraf the girl wife of Gen
eral Clay, seems unconcerned. She
takes the light between her brothers
and Bryant philosophically. In speak
ing of the trouble she said:
"It all comes about' because they are
nvid at Clel on ucouut of his receiv
ing money from Mr. Clay for my board.
They are mad at Will Bryant because
Clel lets him stay here. He haa never
done anything to them. No, I have
never said that I would not return to
Mr. Clay. I will go when I get ready."
Clel Rlqlmrdson swore out a warrant
agulnst his brother Will today, churg
Ing him with aaaault with Intent to
kill.

The doors of our Scranton establishment were thrown open for business.
The results have been phenomenal. They have been busy week's here.
Clerks have labored zealousy and intelligently. With incompleted store sys
tem, there has been much to contend with. 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. Always remember that ! "A dollar saved is a dollar
earned." We'll save you lots of them.

LADY A1ILLAIS DEAD.
Sim was Divorced irom John Ituskin
to llnny the Arliit.
From the Sim.
London, Dee. 21. Lady Millals.wldovv
of Sir John Mlllals, the eminent
painter and late president of the Royal
Academy, died today from cancer of
the throat, the aame disease which
caused the death of her husband.
Lady Mlllals was born Euphemla
Chalmei-3 Gray, of Bowerswell, Perth
shire, and her lirst husband was John
Ituskin. She was married to him In
1S52. and It was only a few years later
that he Introduced the artist Mlllals
Into hl.s home in order to paint a por
trait of Mrs. Ituskin. The romantic
story which followed that meeting hnR
been told in various ways, and one of
them dwelt on the sufferings which
were caused by Mrs. Ruskln's actions.
Hut more trustworthy accounts have
made It nppenr that the writer was
atlsfled with the action of his wife
and was, Indeed, on nctivo participant
In the events subsequent to tho time
that she and Mlluls met in his home.
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. The divorce was obtained
without difficulty! as certain existing
physlcnl conditions made the marriage
between Mrs. ltiiskln und her husband
void from the outset.
After her marriage to Mlllals, Ras
kin continued to be on friendly terms
with both of them, a'nd It has been
Fald that he was present nt tho wed
ding. Queen Victoria, who was then
a great pation of Mlllals' as well as
tho friend of Mr. and Mrs. Ituskin, was
consulted ns to tho propriety of tho
course which Ituskin had suggested io
his wife, and It was with her upprovnl
that tho dlvorcu and marrlugc fol
lowed. Lady Mlllals was heroic her marriage

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

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.
