BERMUDA CEDARS.

They Furnished Wood for Ship for Sir
George Somers in 1920.
An interesting thing about the Ber-
muda cedar is its ability to grow ap-
parently equally well in very different
situations. 1t fiourishes on the dry
porous limestone hills and grows as
freely on the brackish swamp lands
which occur in some parts of the is
lands 1t is not unusual to find trees
of wide geographical range and there
fore subject to different climatic sur
roundings, which seek to adapt them
selves to them by selecting situations
which in one region are at the sea level
and in others are at the top of high
mountains.
Many conifers which grow at the
north at the sea level are found in the
south at considerable elevations above
the ocean, and the red cedar itself,
which grows at the north on high, dry
uplands, inhabits in Florida swamps,
which are inundated during consider
able part OF the year and in the dry
climate of the western part of the con-
tinent occurs only at high elevations.
But the Bermuda cedar grows as well
in one place as it does in another, al
though climatic conditions do not of
course differ perceptibly in different
parts of this small group of islands.
Large individuals are no longer COM
mon; the AK of the wood-cutter and the
ship-builder long ago swept them away.
Here and there a venerable trunk may
be found. but among the large trees
still growing on the island very few
probably are much more than a century
old or large enough to possess any great
commercial value. Formerly the wood
was much used in ship-building; and it
Is interesting to note that Henry May,
an English sailor who was wrecked on
the Bermuda islands in 1898, and who
afterward printed the first account of
them, escaped with his companion to
the banks of Newfoundland in vessel
which they were able to make from the
cedar wood.
This same wood, twenty-Seven years
later, furnished the material from which
Admiral Sir George Somers, who the
wear before had been wrecked on the
islands. while in command of the Sea
Adventure, constructed the vessel which
carried him to the relief of the infant
colony of Virginia, and in which his
body was afterward borne back to his
native land.
Beautiful and very lasting furniture,
too. was once made on the islands from
the cedar wood, and old cedar chests
and cabinets two hundred years old and
more are still held as heirlooms by the
descendants of some old Bermuda fam
lilies, who still live in houses finished
with this wood, which grows with age

Morton IS not man, but woman,
and this evening, dressed n woman's

The story Of the crime reads like a
romance. Alex. Morton, the woman
masquerading as a man, was charged
with the murder Of Julia Emery. Aug
ust u, 1890, She was tried before
Judge Armfeld, convicted Of murder,
and sentenced tohe hi1ged. She was
ably defended by the whole ba q
Kingston, appealed to the Supreme
Court, and was given new trial.
She appeared in Lenoir county about
fifteen years ago in mans apparel, and
maintained successfully her disguise
until the birth Of child disclosed her
sex. She can read and write, is d fair
mathematician, very industrious and
an invaluable helper on a farm, hav-
ing been employed as /" boss ON tho
farm Of Chauncy Gray for fifteen years.
Julia Emery, her victim, was white
woman, living on the same farm near
the accused The principal witness
against her was Giles Parker, white
man, who had heretofore borne a good
reputation among his neighbors. He
was the lover If both women. The
accused became JEALOUS Of her white
rival, and warned PaaSer, BY letter
dropped in the Kingstons ostofice, that
if he did not cease his visifRand atten-
tions to the white woman, shat she
would remove her. On Angus IL,
just after dark, she went TO the holisa
Of Julia, and found Parker standing
near her. A gun was discharged, and
Julia fell dead.
Parker positively identified Alex.
Morton as the murderer, though she
stoutly denied the killing. Her en-
ployer's family believe she is innocent,
and fought the case with the best ar
ray Of legal talent. She was indiffer-
emit to her fate, and she amused her
self in jail playing pranks on her fell
low prisoners.

surprise at the position taken by the
railroads, as there is no other business
interest which is so sure to make money

customary for the managers Of county

people think they should be given at
least as good terms.
A peculiar feature of the negotiation
with the railroads is that the transpor-

posed Of the highest railroad officials
IN Chicago. In the meeting Of the fair
comlpittee these gentlemen voted in
favor Of demanding half rates from the
