A SOLDIER MURDER.
Louisiana Private Murders a Mess
mate in Cold Blood.

HAVANA, JAN S.-Private John d.
Hughes Company e, Second Louisiana Vol
unteers, was shot and killed yesterday by
Private Joseph Buckley, of the same COM
pany. The trouble began in trivial quarrel
at mess time yesterday afternoon at Camp
Buena Vista, when Buckley threatened to
kill Hughes. Hughes paid no attention to
the threat, but Buckley proceeded to an
other camp, secured a rifle and cartridge,
returned to Buena Vista, waited for his OPP
portunity and shot Hughes through the
heart killing him instantly. Buckley then
surrendered to Captain Hernandez, officer
of the day, and was conveyed to Camp
Quemados, where he was placed under
guard. When questioned about the murder
he said he was not drunk, but had killed
Hughes deliberately Buckley, who is a
New Orleans man, had bad reputation
before his enlistment. This is said TO be his
third homicide. 1t is said he killed a man
named LacOsta in New Orleans, but was
acquitted on the ground of insanity Private
Hughes, whose home was at Plaquemine,
La, was buried this afternoon at Mariana
Cemetery Lieutenant Colonel Dufor is in
command of the Second Louisiana Regi-
ment. No disorder has followed the murder.

MARTHA.

Martha was a model woman,
Wife of Moses Jacob Brown,
Finest cook in all the country,
Best housekeeper in town;
But she died and went to Heaven,
There to wear a martyrs crown.
Moses B. had kline and cattle,
Sheep and horses fair to see,
But woman's help was needed,
Hiring much too dear would be;
So he came a twelve-month later,
Courted, won and married me.
Now at breakfast time he tells me
How she used the cakes to bake,
Dinner comes and still he praises
Soups and StewS she used to make.
While for tea / hear laudations
OF her ounce preserves and cake.
Now, a woman's only human,
And a pretty girl when wed
For her golden curls and dimples,
For her laughing lips so red,
Sometimes tires of endless lectures,
Each extolling one that dead.
So I fancy some fine morning,
Ere my temper's quite subdued,
shall tell him, what a pity
He of course may think me rude
That he isn't up in Heaven

HE WELCOMED LAFAYETTE.
Who Spoke for His Fellow SCHOOL,
Children in 1924.

There lives in the city of Manchester,
n. H., man who made one of the many
addresses of welcome to Marquis de
Lafayette during his last and triumphal
tour of the United States in 1924. He is
Rev. DIR. G. l.. Demarest, and the ad-
dress was made in New York CITY, Mr..
Demarest told the story to reporter
of the Sun.
81 was only seven years old at the
time" he said. "The incident occurred
in September, the great French states
man and soldier making his trip to this
country in August and September of
1924. The way my connection with it
came about was this: I was an attend
ant at one of the schools established
by the Free School society, of New
city, and it was desired TO show to La
fayette and his friends the inside work
ings of those schools. September 10
was set apart for the day, and when
Lafayette came 1 stepped forward and
read to him an address which had been
prepared by the master of the school.
Lafayette replied kindly in words
which 1 cannot recall, and presented
Inc half dollar. The trustees of the
school gave me additional coins amount
ing to about dollar more. was but
a simple-headed child and turned these
gifts over to my father, who used the
money, none of our family realizing
what value would in after years attach
to the Lafayette piece from associa-
ton.
cat two o'clock that afternoon the
children of all the schools in New York
city, with one exception, think, formed
in two rows in the City Hall park, and
Gen. Lafayette and party, with the
mayor and common council, passed be-
tween u.s. The children saluted by
the clapping of hands.
81 remember Lafayette looked like
portraits eXtant at that time, and !
presume the same portraits of him eX-
list to-day. He was 6S years of age at
the time, and his death occurred ten
years later. His achievements were,
of course, familiar to me as schoolboy,
and most prominent in our young
minds were the facts that the great
Frenchman was a friend of Washing
ton and hero of the American revolu-
ton. His face appeared, as L remem-
Der it, long, but pleasant rather than
grave. He was dressed in the civilian
attire of the time.
81 was born in New York city, in
what was known as Greenwich village,
in 1916. At the time of Lafayette's
visit the city had, L should say, 100000
population, and it was during that
decade that it enjoyed the greatest
boom and the greatest ratio of ex-
pansion of it's entire history, the Erie
canal being completed about that time.
The city was, however, very different
from what it is to-day, and then prom
inent people who fought in the Amer
lean revolution were still in active life,
while the heroes of 1912 abounded
everywhere"
Mr.. Demarest, who is in his eighty
third year, is very active, having re-
turned to Manchester from a business
trip to Boston recently. He still takes
great interest in the affairs of New
York city, where he passed his boy
hood when it was boom town, and his
library contains many books relating
to the metropolis.-N. Y. Sun.

de Cuba" The first, besides being the
setting forth by the principal actor of
the most daring deed ever recorded, is
an excellent piece of work from a lit
erary point of view. Some OF the dis
criptions in the series are done by a
masterful hand The courtesies record

AS the editor of the magazine happily
says: The adventure was the occasion
of showing anew that paradox of war,
the love of enemies. the touch of nature
that makes the whole world kin. One
thinks how little it would require to
turn this great moral force into noble
channels, and is persuaded, in Mrs. Will
cox's trenchant phrase that
