CHOOSES IMPRISONMENT. Jose Ferry, a native of Spain, who con- fessed to the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Rich at Canton, Ohio, was left to choose between life imprisonment and death in the electric chair. He chose life im- prisonment. This is supposedly the first time that a first degree murderer has been given such a choice in Ohio.—Path- finder, April 14th. CAKRIER PIGEONS PENSIONED. The British government has placed un- der the care of a keeper for the rest . ° their lives all carrier pigeons which saw active service during the war. There are many., and some of them are heroes. One bird brought a message 108 miles that saved the town of Bridlington from bombardment, and though shot through the wing while over the sea it persisted and reached lind. The bird’s mate was shot down by a submarine. —lbid. GREAT FUNERAL FOR SARAH. The funeral of Sarah Bernhardt, the “‘DivineSarah’’ of the stage, was one of the most memorable in the history of Paris where many kirgs and world-re- nowned geniuses have been buried. Thousands of every rank of life followed the funeral procession to -the Pere La Chaise cemetery, and after the burial crowds filed by for hours throwing flow- ers on the grave. Probably never before were gathered together at one ceremony so many lilies, the favorite flower of the actress which, she declared, she loved “above jewels and silks and glory.” No. 94.
