three years. sentence.
Henderson came of wealthy and
Influential parentage, who reside

1t appears that while visiting Ma
son the young man struck up a
filtration with a married woman
and they became fast friends.
While calling at her house one af-
ternoon, the irate husband bounced
upon him from ambush. Hender-
son jumped through a window.
He had in his possession the
wOman's watch and the husband
had him arrested for burglary. He
was convicted.
Soon after this incident the
woman and her husband separated,
as her actions became the topic OF
general gossip, Since that the hus-
band has been one Of the most ear
nest leaders for Henderson's pardon.
These facts were all fully estah-
lished by the boards investigation.
Henderson is an accomplished civil
engineer, having graduated from
the Polytechnic department of
VaIo and alSO tho m ilitary acadia

leave for California Immediately

WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN BURMAH.

According TO H. Fielding, a writer
in Blackwood's Magazine, the paradise
of women is in Burmah. There, says
Mr.. Fielding, woman and man are on
the same footing. There is not single
law which does not bear equally on
man and woman. Men have never
tried to say what is fitting and what
is not fitting for them. Ono artificial
ideals from long past ages have been
held up to them as eternal copies. 1t
has been left to their own good sense
and 10 the eternal fitness of things to
determine what is womanly and what
is not" Mr.. Fielding says that no
women possess in greater strength all
the numeless attractions Cf woman.
The members of either sex are left to
choose their own occupations, and the
men sew and embroider' as well as the
women. He further says:
The retail trade Of the country is in
the hands Of the women, and they
nearly all trade on their own account.
Just as the men farm their own land,
the women own their own businesses.
They are not saicswomen for others !;
but traders on their own account, and,
with the exception of the silk and
cloth branches Of the trade, it does not
interfere with home life. The bazaar
lasts but three hours, and the woman
has ample time for her home duties
when her daily visit to the bazaar is
over. She is never kept away all day
in shops and factories. Her home life
is always the centre of her life. She
could not neglect it for any other. 1t
broadcns her views. 1t would seem
to her losing of the greater in
the less. But the effect of this
custom of nearly every woman hav-
ing little business Of her own
has great influence on her life. 1t
teaches her things she could not learn
in the narrow circle of home duties.
It gives her that tolerance and under
standing which so forcibly strike every
one who knows her. 1t teaches her to
know her own strength and weakness,
and how to make the best of each.

OUEER MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

Corean girls, according to Mr.. H
S. Saunderson, after enjoying freedom
until they are s years old, are consign'
ed to the women's quarters, where
they live in seclusion till they are
married, at 16 or II years. After
marriage the woman is allowed to see
no man but her husband. The boys
on the other hand are taught that it is
undignified for them TO enter the
women's part of the house. They
never see their brides till the wedding
day, all having been arranged for them
often when both bride and bride.

bridegroom brings with him is then

"Will she?" he whispered huskily.

bare hand lay tempting him on the vel

reached over hesitatingly, covering its
rose leaf daintiness with tremulous
pressure. "Ah, how you always COM

MOTHERS Of GREAT MEN.

The mother of Auber, the composer
Of French opera, had excellent taste
in both music and the fine arts.
Bach's mother had marvellous ear
for music. He said she was better
judge of fmusic than his father.
The mother of Peter the Great was a
woman of intrepid courage and great
personal strength, both of body and
mind.
Van Dykes mother was quite an
art critic, with very correct apprecia-
tion Of excellence in drawing and
painting.
Daniel Webster once said: "The
man who would be disrespectful to
his mother would spit on her grave
when she was dead"
The mother of the famous Consta-
BILE Bourbon learned to fence in order
to assist in the military training of her
son.
Haudel's mother was woman Of
unusual strength Of character. He re-
sembled her more than he did his faith
er.
The mother of Greene, the Revolu-
tionary general, was woman of great
personal piety, very grave and sedate.
Lamartine had an exceptionally
clever mother, and several times in
his writings mentions her with admira-
ton.
Massillon, the great French preach
er, had u singularly talented mother,
whose influence over his life was un-
bounded.
Thackery adored the memory of his
mother. He said: "Mother is the
name of God on the lips of little chill
dren."
Luther had a most exalted opinion
of mothers and motherhood, and re-
peatedly eulogizes both in his writ
ings.

GENERAL LEES LAST YEARS.

General Lee never left Lexington
after he assumed the presidency of the
college," said S. D. Mccormick recent
ly. "He had distinguished visitors from
North and South, and from Europe,
and they still come to visit his tomb.
Hundreds of invitations came to him
to attend army reunions and the like,
but he always courteously declined
them. But every evening he would
mount his horse and take an hours
ride. I have often met him at these
times. He would always give the
military salute. Sometimes he would
rein in his horse and talk.
"His demeanor was always dignifed
and serious indeed, sad. never saw
him smile. One could feel the very
personality of Lee pervading the at
mosphere around old Washington and
Lee University. Every student was
on his honor. Not one of them would
lie. You have some idea of what COL
lege boys are and what many of them
will do. They will stop at nothing in
their pranks. Yet students in that
university have convicted themselves
of pranks that caused their expulsion
because they could not lie when
brought face to face with General Lee.
He was absolutely pure man, if ever
one lived. He neither drank, chewed
nor smoked, nor ever used vulgar
language. He was clean man.
"Washington was his idol. He pat
termed his life after that illustrious
patriot. In his very bearing and per-
sonality he reminded one of Washing
ton. You know how closely he was
allied to the family of Washington.
The name of Washington University
was changed by the Virginia legisla-
ture to that of Washington and Lee
University. General Lees wife, Mary
Curtis, sleeps by his side in the tomb
under the chapel platform of the uni
versity.
"Directly opposite the crypt where
Lee lies, and on the same floor, is his
private Office, with everything just as
he left this chair, his pen, everything
just as he had it in life. Above the
crypt rises the monument, and upon it
the reclining figure Of the general in
military trappings, executed in the
finest marble by Valentine. Curtis
Lee, his son, is now president of the
university. ."-Cincinnati Times-Star.
