THE GERMAN KAISER.
INVITES BARON Won KETTELER'S
WIDOW TO GERMANY.

(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot)
New York, Nov. ia special cable
to the Journal and Advertiser from
Berlin says:
1.-THE Kaiser has just given further
evidence of his regard for Baron Won
Ketteler. who was assassinated in
China. by inviting the latters Ameri-
can widow to come to Germany in or
der that he may express to her his
keen sense not only of her husbands
services, but also of the courage and
gallantry which she herself displayed
throughout the terrible siege of the le-
cations.
1T is expected the Kaiser, besides
investing the widowed baroness with
the Order Of Louise, of which the EN-
press is grand mistress, will offer Il
pension and create her Countess in
her own right.
1T is probable that the baroness al
so will be offered the title of Lady in
Waiting to the Empress, and she is
certain to be overwhelmed by court,
government. society and the people
with tokens of kindly sympathy and
regard

a GAME OF CRAPS.
A MAN KILLED AND HIS SLAYER
IN JAIL


Especial to the Virgnian- Pilot.)
Suffolk, Va, Nov 13-As the result
of a sociable game of Craps" in
which the players were made more
reckless by cheap whiskey, John Ma
SON is dead and Robert Palmer, his
confessed slayer, is in prison.
The game happened late last night,
near Dendron, Surry county. All are
colored. There was much excitement
after the shooting, and Edward
Rogers. superintendent of the Surry
Lumber Company. which employs
many !aborers, guaranteed 500 reward
Tor Palmer's taking. Palmer cheated
the constabulary Whereabouts by vol
unfairly surrendering this morning. He
was locked up without bail at Surry
courthouse. Palmer claims that Ma
son and two friends made rush at
him. one of them with Il drawn razor
or dirk He rctreated at first and only
fired when his own life was in peril.
The first shot was fatal. Mason fell
in pool of blood. a dispute had
arisen over n small amount of cash.
because of the strong feeling against
Palmer, il is not believed that other
witnesses will corroborate his story
entirely.
William Johnson. n suspect. with
brass knucks and cartridges on his
person, was arrested to-day in Peters
burg.

theme 1.-The Career and Character Of
Abraham Lincoln Lord Rosebery,

as follows:
MIR. Choate is one of that choice
succession of men whom the United
States has sent to this country. He
has endeared himself TO us in re-
markable degree by his brilliant and
genial qualities. For his discourse he
has selected one of the most interest

Many notable persons were in the

quently applauded. Loord Rosebery.
replying to n vote of thanks for pre-
siding, said:
Lincoln was one of the great figures
of the nineteenth century. TO me it
has also seemed that he was the sec
ond founder OF the great republic. His
strength rested on two rocks--unflinch-
ing principle and illimitable common
sense. One distinguishing feature that
disassociated him from all the other
great men OF history was his immense
fund Of humor.'

Another point which may be pro-
posed is that capital punishment, by

does not apply to the executions made

Washington, D. c., Nov. 13.-In addi-

is as to making the city of Pelsin an

The Richmond members OF that body
think that he should issue the call at

have his business affairs arranged
when the time comes.
ANNUAL SESSIONS.
A prominent Democrat who knows
much of the ms and outs OF public af-
fairs in Virginia, said this morning
that he was of opinion that the Con-
stitutional Convention would provide
for annual sessions OF the Legislature.
He said the necessity for this depar-
ture from the present system was
growing more evident every day, and
that large number of prominent lead
ers were known to favor 1t. He point
ed out that often in the course OF
twelve months State matters needed
the urgent attention of the Legislature,
ana yet no Governor would feel war
ranted in calling the body together un-
less forced to do so by some sweeping
eXigency, because extra sessions were,
as a rule, unpopular with the people.
He thought the lawmakers could al
ways save far more to the State than
would be expended by the additional
sessions every other year.
