THIEF ALL HIS LIFE Murderer Says He Couldn't Resist Committing Burglaries, Believes Blow on Head Delivered by Father Affected His Brain and Made Criminal of Him—Mother Defends Son. Springfield, Mass.—Bertram G. Spencer, who recently confessed that he murdered Miss Martha Blackstone, shot Miss Dow and committed many burglaries, says he thinks he brain is affected. His case already is attracting much attention among lawyers and alienists. "I killed Miss Martha Blackstone in a fit of anger," he said. "Then I shot Miss Harriet Dow. I did not know what I was doing. When the women screamed I lost all control of myself. I would not have harmed a hair of their heads if they had kept quiet. "I have been a robber since I was a child. I stole knives out of a grocery when I was only nine. Thieving has had an irresistible fascination for me. I have broken into houses in almost every city where I have lived. In Springfield in the past year I committed more than a dozen burglaries. I would get out of bed and go out and rob. After the deed was done my mind seemed to be relieved and I could sleep. "I think my brain is wrong. My father hit me on the back of the head when I was a boy with the butt of a whip. It left a big dent. Since then my temper has been uncontrollable. Nobody has been so afraid of me as myself. I did not run away from Springfield after the murder because I enjoyed reading about the excitement and the foolish efforts of the police to find a clue. I never dreamed they would get me until I was arrested." Spencer told how he had traveled to many different parts of the world on a training ship. His relatives had thought naval discipline would curb him, as his father had failed to do so. But he returned, he said, with the same love for thleving and a temper as uncontrollable as ever. At the time of the San Francisco fire, he said, he acted as a public Bertram G. Spencer, guard. The report that he had been a member of the burglar bands which terrorized the city was not denied by the police. In Springfield Spencer said he had broken into more than a dozen homes. "I never knew just what house I was going to tackle when I started out," he said. "I would often wake up soon after retiring and toss and turn until I was all in a fever with the desire to go out and rob. As soon as I struck the cool night air and knew I was in the game again I felt relieved. I cannot describe the fascination of the sport. When it once gets a man it won't let go. I did not intend to rob the Dow house the night I killed Miss Blackstone and shot Miss Dow in the head. I left home about seven o'clock and walked toward Round Hill. When I got to the Dow house I saw there were only women there, so I decided to try it. I got through a bedroom window, pulled out my searchlight and looked into a closet. There was nothing there but clothes. On a dresser I found a green Indian belt and the silver brooch which Miss Dow identified. I put them in my pocket and then went into the dining room and leveled my gun at the women in the next room. All I wanted was money. I would not have cared how little they gave me, so long as they made no fuss." The confession is now in the possession of District Attorney Stephen S. Taft. When his mother and sister visited Spencer in his cell he broke down. "Oh, God, I had to tell," he sobbed, as he buried his head in his mother's arms like a child. "I didn't realize what sins I had committed until they began to question me. Then they all came up before me like so many ghosts. They frightened me, so I could not rest until I recognized them and said they were all true." "With my daughter I have just returned from the cell where my son is locked up," said Mrs. Spencer, with quavering voice. "Oh, it is terrible, terrible. I never dreamed that all this was to come into our lives." "I do not think that my son, Bertram, can be considered responsible for the deeds charged against him. He did what he did when he was practically insane. He did not realize what he was doing. THE APPEAL. RUNS GOSSIPLESS VILLAGE W. H. Smith, Statistician of Owensville, Ind., Issues Book Which Stops Town Talk. Evansville, Ind. — Owensville, a town of 1,500 people, a few miles northeast of here, is said to be a gossipless village where people attend strictly to their own business and where "talking over the back fences" is a thing of the past. This condition was brought about W. W. Smith. by W. W. Smith, who is called the statistician of the town. Smith has recently published a book entitled "The True Record of Owensville" in which is found births, deaths, marriages, accidents and the like for the past year. Up to the time the book was published the town people found a great many things to gossip about, but now instead of gossiping, they go to the book and find out what they want to know about anything that has happened in the town for the past year. Mr. Smith has ascertained that five per cent. of the population of Owensville are widows. Seventy-five good-looking and marriageable widows live in the town and most of them own and manage their own homes and many of them are in good circumstances. There is a "Widows' Row" in the town that is pointed out to all visitors who happen to go to Owensville. Smith's book on town events and the widows has enjoyed a wide circulation and Smith has given it out that he will publish such a book at least once a year. ROOSEVELT CALLS COWBOY Former President Asks Capt. Seth Bullock, Friend of Plains, to Meet Him. Deadwood, S. D.—Captain Seth Bullock, who received a letter from Theodore Roosevelt asking him to join the ex-president in London about May 2, is United States marshal of South Dakota and has had a picturesque career. He has figured in many sensational encounters and never got the worst of it. At President Roosevelt's inauguration he led a company of Capt. Seth Bullock. Black Hills "cow punchers" and has been a close friend of the ex-president since the early '80s. Darwin's Religion. Darwin came of Unitarian stock, and was never much of a believer in theological systems. In reply to a question that had been put to him in a letter he wrote over his own signature: "I do not believe that any revelation has ever been made." Upon the questions of God and the future life he was an out-and-out agnostic, claiming that they were matters that had never been settled and concerning which he had no right to make any statement. He never once denied the existence of a personal God or a future for men after death, but contented himself with saying, "I know nothing about them, one way or the other." The Cormorant at Work The Cormorant at work. How a cormorant dives for sea trout and gets them is told by a writer: "I had the cormorant under observation only for the space of five minutes, and during that short period it had captured four sea trout, all of considerable size. After being under water for a few seconds the bird would reappear with a sea trout wriggle in its bill; but in spite of the victim's desperate efforts to escape it was deftly swallowed, and after a few gulps the cormorant would resume its fishing operations."

MISS FRANCES GRISCOM, SISTER OF LLOYD GRISCOM HE wife or daughter of the average man who is conspicuously in the public eye through his prominence in politics, science, art, finance or religion, earns a vacation quite as consistently as the head of the household. It is notable that in the eyes of many prominent women the ideal vacation is one which enables real solitude and MRS BENJ HARRISON AND HER DAUGHTER ELIZABETH which embraces, among other things that seclusion which makes it possible for the vacationist to don garb that is comfortable, without regard to the dictates of fashion. Thus we find Mrs. John D. Rockefeller leading the quietest possible existence at Forest Hill, her husband's extensive estate near Cleveland, and Miss Anna Morgan, daughter of the financier, isolating herself at her father's log "camp" in the depths of the Adirondack forest. Our presidential widows are likewise fond of the simple life in summer. Mrs. Garfield spends the heated term at her farm at Mentor, Ohio, near the shore of Lake Erie; Mrs. Harrison and her daughter take up their abode at a forest lodge on the shore of one of the lakes of the Fulton chain in the north woods; and Mrs. Cleveland has as her summer home a quaint farmhouse in New Hampshire, not so many miles distant from the county seat of Mrs. John Hay, widow of the late secretary of state. Mrs. Cleveland has as her summer home a quiet farmhouse in New Hampshire, not so many miles distant from the county seat of Mrs. John Hay, widow of the late secretary of state. Mrs. Taft, wife of the president, who was over taken by ill health, a few months after her hus band assumed office, was so benefited at Beverly Mass., last summer by the sea air and the opportunities for complete rest that it is probable that the picturesque north shore of Massachusetts will be the summer retreat of the Tafts for some years to come. Here Miss Helen Taft, the only daughter of the family, finds the best of opportunities for her pet diversions, tennis and motor ing in an electric runabout which she drives her self. Mrs. Sherman, wife of the vice-president, spends her summers in the big comfortable stone mansion at Utica, N. Y., which has been "home" to the Shermans for so many years, and in the rear of which are the spacious flower gardens which Mrs. Taft, wife of the president, who was overtaken by ill health, a few months after her husband assumed office, was so benefited at Beverly, Mass, last summer by the sea air and the opportunities for complete rest that it is probable that the picturesque north shore of Massachusetts will be the summer retreat of the Tafts for some years to come.

Had the chicken ever been the fashion this would be the renaissance, but the present popularity is without precedent. Not only has the chicken been dramatized, as per "Chantecler," but milliners have taken up the plumage right under the noses of the Audubon societies; then, also, there is the secretary of agriculture, who offers the chicken as the perennial lure to the country, where the problem of living, or pure food and plenty of it is to be solved by the cityites as soon as they organize a real hegira to the tall timbers. Even the cold-storage chickens hanging in rows in the market look more alluring and seem to suggest to you the possibility of boycoting the beef trust. There is no question about the merits of chickens, the Brooklyn Eagle says. They carry Chickens were never the fashion till now.

There is no question about the merits of chickens, the Brooklyn Eagle says. They carry on a successful egg business, a gigantic trust of their own, no competitors and all the world for patrons. Their product never is supplanted by an improved article invented by some one who improves on their idea, and such good standing have they as an idea in economics that they are the chief element in the magnet that lures the city man to the country. Every second man you meet on Broadway will confess he has plans to go to the country some day to make a living out of chickens.

Mrs. Knox, wife of the secretary of state, usually spends her summer vacation at Valley Forge farm, the premier's splendid country seat and stock farm, a short ride by train from Philadelphia. Mrs. Meyer, wife of the secretary of the navy, is almost as indefatigable a hostess in summer as in winter, for she entertains lavishly her magnifi- country seat at Hamilton, Mass. At the town of Marion, in the same state, is the large "cottage" which is the summer headquarters of the family of Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor. Mrs. Hughes, wife of the man who has made so remarkable a record as governor of New York state, finds her vehicle of supreme summer enjoyment in her canoe, and the brightest weeks of the year in her estimation are those she and her family spend at a rustic cabin on Upper Saranac lake, little more than a stone's throw from the cottage where Grover Cleveland and his bride spent their honeymoon. The two elder daughters give him half a chance. He knows the name of the breed of chickens he means to raise and he knows the kind of incubator he will buy and he knows about chicken houses and chicken "feed" and no end of detail about scientific chicken business. The chicken dream, the chicken lure has something to answer for, something which never gets into the newspapers. The real chicken dreamer knows just how much money he is going to invest in a chicken colony and then he intends to lie back and let the chickens support him. It is to laugh! "Don't let me prick the chicken bubble," said the city man who has just sold his chicken farm and come back to town. "I don't mind giving up the facts in the case, for no one with the chicken fever would believe me. Every man has to try it for himself. And it's all right; let him. I had fun with chickens for three years and I've no wish to be a kill-joy. Hardly ever a case of chicken fever lasts a city man more than three years. "The secretary of agriculture and certain students of sociology recommend city people to move to the country and find there the solution of all their problems and the city sentimentalists with shattered nerve systems eagerly grasp the idea. Now, farming is a business the same as any of the other pursuits in life by which man make a living and a certain temperament is required to be successful in it, as well as a great deal of patience. Do city people have much patience? I leave it to you.

Boston Man Experiments With Explosives and Invents an Attachment for Safes That Promises to Fool the Yegg. Boston.—Imagine the discomfited feeling of the expert cracksman of the future, who risks death or a long term of imprisonment in blowing the door from a safe, only to find an inner barrier which the explosive does not budge, leaving the contents as secure from him as before he begins operations. For years professional safemakers have devoted lives vainly to getting ahead of yeggs, but heretofore just as offensive armament has kept in advance of defensive, so the professional safebreakers, have kept in the van of the manufacturers. Now, however, if the claim of a Boston man is realized, a safe has been devised which may revolutionize the industry and put the maker ahead of the destroyer. Safe blowers are of the most desperate class of criminals. They go heavily armed. Police in country places are often inadequate, and it is merely an unpleasant incident meaning delay, if from one to three "town constables," alert and rash enough to be seen, have to be put temporarily or permanently out of commission. With the coming of the automobile "peteguyus," as these men term themselves, from "blowing the pete." F. have met with greater success than ever before, for chance of getting away quickly in a speedy machine has made the possibility of capture remote, so that the assurance of seven dollars is frequently sufficient for a safeblowing. in the Hughes household inherit their mother's fondness for this fascinating form of boating. Other prominent women who are partial to the life of the mountain lakes include Mrs. Timothy Woodruff, wife of the New York politician, Mrs. Victor Herrbert, wife of the musical composer, and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who is usually ready to forsake one of the most attractive country seats in England for an intervals among the pines at Camp Wild Air. Country postoffices have become a special object of attack, the same place often being broken into more than once. However, the business man also suffers, and the city merchant himself is not proof against the cracksman's daring. o are not a few women whose fondness for favorite outdoor sport serves to, itself, map out their summer program—sending them to the localities where the chosen form of athletics may best be enjoyed. By way of illustration, there might be cited the hold which golf exerts upon Miss Marion.Oliver, daughter of the assistant secretary of war, and upon Miss Frances Griscom, the sister of Lloyd Griscom, the well-known diplomat and politician. The former of these young ladies is an aspirant for the golf championship of the United States, and the latter has already been a title holder. From 1900 to 1906, inclusive, according to government figures, there were 11,587 postoffices throughout the United States which had safes of every make blown or forced and their contents stolen. There is an average of more than four safes a day blown in postoffices alone. In the five years from 1904 to 1908, inclusive, 8,374 safes were blown, and the burglar got away with booty, an average of over 1,675 per year. Less than one per cent. of these safes are 20 minutes in the hands of the yegg. The great majority are blown in seven, ten and fifteen minutes. Similarly it is suspected that Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth would go in for aeronautics did not her husband rather frown on her ambitions for sky sailing. Miss Katherine Elkins,,daughter of the senator from West Virginia, is correspondingly zealous as a, horsewoman, and has been known to give up an entire season to attending one open-air horse show after another, usually as an entrant in the classes for ladies' hunters. Miss Elkins is also an enthusiast on the subject of blooded dogs and has personally donated cups and other trophies as prizes in competitive classes at various dog shows. One day recently, about noon, a one-nose horse was seen leave a Boston store. Upon the vehicle was loaded apparently an ordinary, medium sized safe. This was an every-day occurrence, but a man who followed the team to a stone quarry in Somerville witnessed unusual proceedings. Turning in at the quarry two men unloaded the safe and placed it in an upright position, facing a pile of stone. They waited for two other men, who came from another direction, and at a given signal with a dull boom the safe was blown up. As usual, a hole had been bored in the top through which explosive was poured and a fuse inserted by a hired expert dynamiter. The door was blown some 70 feet away. Pickling this up, the men placed it beside the safe and took a picture of the wreck. They had previously photographed the safe intact, but the second photograph shows the safe as intact as ever, minus the door. "It takes a considerable amount of practical knowledge that farmers have to be born with, a kind of traditional information that never gets into the query column nor any other column of the agricultural periodicals. This knowledge may possibly be included in theoretical farming, but I have never found it there. It's what keeps the city man from succeeding in the country. "He knows where he can_get $5 a dozen for squabs and 60 cents a dozen for eggs and $1 a pound for butter and $3 a pair for broilers all the year round. It sounds pretty good. It isn't the first business proposition that has figured out finely on paper. Now the farmer rarely figures. He saws wood, gets up at 4 a.m. and does the best he can. He is not an enthusiast, and there's a pretty good reason for it." It also shows the supposed robbers were thwarted, for just within the safe is seen what is termed a "grille." This is a grating composed of steel jail rods, fastened into the safe so that it cannot be displaced and can only be removed by a combination known to the owner. It cannot be yanked out, and no explosive will blow it out, because the force passes through the opening as water might through a steve. Any one familiar with a jail rod knows it cannot be bent, twisted, broken or sawed, and there is not space enough between the rods for the smallest hand to squeeze. "The farmer is a patient man. He doesn't dress up much and, without meaning to speak disparagingly, he eats what he can't sell. City people who live in the country sell what they can't eat. The farmer is obliged to live frugally in order to make both ends meet. By the time the city man gets through eating and entertaining his friends there is nothing left. He knows too well what good living is." Hiram—Dickson's gal has took to writin' spring poetry. Siram—Waal, ain't they havin' nothin' done for her?

Mr. Editor: While in a reminiscent mood, recently, I was reminded that THE APPEAL was started in the year 1885 and therefore will pass the 25th milestone of its existence this year. What a number of interesting events have taken place during these twenty-five years, what wonderful advancements have been made by the Afro-American citizens of the Twin Cities in all lines of life! And as I was one of its early promoters and know much of its history, I believe it is no small thing for a newspaper to live for a quarter of a century under the circumstances have surrounded THE APPEAL, and it seems to me that some sort of celebration of the event would be enlighten fit and proper. I also believe that the citizens of the Twin Cities whom you have served so faithfully and well would gladly join in making the event one long to be remembered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APPEAL be published containing a chronological history of the events that have transpired during its existence, cuts and sketches of prominent men and women, cuts of the beautiful homes that so many have become the happy possessors of, and numerous other matters of interest that would make such an edition a most valuable one for us all. Then as a grand finale a public testimonial celebration in some large hall on the anniversary day of THE APPEALS' birth or such event day that in your event is more suitable, in which all may take a part in making the event one of the largest ever held here. I would suggest, if the idea meets your approval, that you select a number of persons to act as a committee to carry out such plans as I have advanced or as you may deem most advisable. Very truly yours. T. H. Lyles. St. Paul, April 15. 1910. My Dear Mr. Adams: In relation to the Quarto-Centennial idea, I think it good and you may depend upon me for any assistance I give. I am.

WOMEN'S DEBT TO ANCESTORS Tragic Figures Were the Militant Members of the Sex in the '40's and '50's. It was this attitude of the mass of women, unsympathetic and often contemptuous as it was, toward the early agitators for woman's rights, that made the position of the militant woman hardest in the '40's and '50's. She was then, and always has been, a tragic figure, this woman in front of the woman's movement—driven by a great unrest, sacrificing old ideals to attain new, losing herself in a frantic and frequently blind struggle, often putting back her cause by the sad illustration she was of the price that must be paid to attain a result. It was, and is, common to speak slightly of her, but it is uncomprehending. Certainly no woman who to-day takes it as a matter of course that she should study what she chooses, go and come as she will, support herself unquestioned by trade, profession or art, work in public or private, handle her own property, share her children on equal terms with her husband, receive a respectful attention on platform or before legislature, live freely in the world, should think with anything but reverence of these splendid early disturbers of convention and peace, for they were an essential element in the achievement. There is no home in the land which has not a better chance for happiness, no child which does not come into a better heritage, no woman who is not less narrow, no man who is not less bigoted because of the impetus their struggles and sacrifices gave to the emancipation of the sex."—Ida M. Tarbell, in the American Magazine. WATER NECESSARY FOR LIFE Proof That Wine Will Not Serve the Purpose Where Frenchmen Are Concerned. The French schooner Argus, struggling against headwinds to get from Dieppe to Marselles, according to the dispatches, ran out of water and for three days the crew had nothing but champagne and claret to drink. Nearly every man was disabled by fever and acute gastritis. It was with the greatest gratitude that the captain of the Argus swapped several cases of champagne for a few barrels of water from the Oceana, a Bombay liner. Pathologists will say correctly that there is nothing new in this experience. That wine will not take the place of water and keep men in good condition, has been known as long as wine has been known. Three elements, however, in the story of the Argus make it a striking lesson, emphasizing an old truth. First, the men were Frenchmen, with the Frenchman's habit of taking wine daily; second, the wines they drank as a substitute for water were presumably pure, and the claret at least was relatively light; third, the three days is a very short period for the disabling of a whole crew. It is mighty lucky for the human race that a water trust is conceded impracticable. The British Census In England a census is taken every seven years. In the United States the work costs some $5,000,000; in England, with a population of 42,000,000, the work is done by regular public officials without extra cost. There the census is taken on a certain day at a certain hour, usually Saturday at 11 p. m., because most people are then at home. Printed circulars have been sent by the police to every family and to the owners of all lodgings and hotels. These circulars contain blanks which must be filled. The police round up passers in the streets. Sometimes a cranky Englishman who, for reasons of his own, does not want to figure in the census, tries to evade the government by riding around all night in a cab. Ten chances to one he will not succeed in his purpose. Cabs are stopped as unhesitatingly as are street cars or pedestrians. The government wants to know. The government will not be denied. The work is done simultaneously throughout the United Kingdom. "Father," said little Rollo, "what is appendicitis?"
