Sheriff and Attorneys Plead With Mob to Regard
 Law in Tennessee
ALL EFFORTS UNAVA|uNG
Just Before Death the Negro Said He Killed the Woman Because He Had Nothing Else to Do.
 Story of the Crime.

Chattanooga, Tenn, August 3.-A spe- cial dispatch to the Times from Winches- ter says: Henry Noles, the negro who criminally assaulted and shot to death Mrs. Charles Williams. wife of a prominent farmer near Winchester, Tenn. last Friday, was captured early this morning at a water tank near Cowan, Tenn, and burned to death before a crowd of several thousand persons.
 The negro was carried to Winchester by his captors and placed in the county jail. Sheriff Stewart made haste to try to barricade the jail and protect the pris- oner, but soon an angry mob of several hundred citizens had gathered.
 Assistant Attorney General Matt N. Whitaker appeared at the jail and made a speech to the infuriated citizens. ap- healing to them to assist him in allaying excitement and upholding the majesty or the law. He promised to reconvene the grand fury tomorrow ito promptly indict the negro and have him speedily tried at the present term of court, assuring the crowd that his conviction and legal ex- caution was a foregone conclusion. This appeal was supplemented by Judge J. J. Lynch Capt W. P. Tolley, Jesse M. Lit tleton. Foster NJ. Ramsey and others. No sooner had their appeals been made than several hundred citizens from the neigh borhood where the crime was committed came up and augmented the crowd to the thousands. They swept forward upon the jail, over powered the sheriff and his deputies, se- cured the prisoner and started for the scene of the crime, twelve miles distant, at 1915 a. m.
 Mob Was Determined.
 The mob was orderly but grimiy de- termined. It seemed that the whole pop ulation for miles around had turned out
  cession three miles in length followed the mob to. the Williams home. Arriving at A. point in sight of the crime the negro was placed upon a stump and given a chance to make statement. He mount ed the stump stolidly and laughed as he began his statement He said: Tell all my sisters and brothers to meet me in glory. I am going to make that my home Tell my mother to meet me where parting will be no more" He was then asked a number of questions. Interrogated as to whether or not any one else was impli- cated in the crime Noles stated emphatic ally there was no one implicated but him. self.
 Had Nothing Else to Do.
 .'why did you kill Mrs. Williams?" was asked
 "I just done that because I had nothing else to do.'
 He finished his statement at 1:35 p. m- He was taken from the stump. carried to a. tree nearby. bound to the tree by chains and his body saturated with oil.
 At 1:40 D. m. a match was applied and instantly the quiverdng body was en- veloped in flames. Rails were pitched about the burning body and soon life was extinct. The negro made no outcry at any time and died like a stoic. There were no disorderly scenes about the burn ing body. At least 5000 people witnessed the horrible fate of the negro. Many re- mained until nightfall. increasing the blaze until the body was entirely con- sumed.

Ever Built on This Side of the At
 lantic.
 Washington, March 23.-The seteam- ship Korea. which was launched to- day at the Newport News Shipbuildins Co.'S works. bears the distinction of being the largest steam vessel ever built on this side of the Atlantic. With a length of 572 feet inches and a ebam of 63 feet, she will displace 1S,6OO tons on draft of twenty-seven feet. Some idea of the size of the Korea may be derived from the facA that from the top to the bottom of the bare hull is distance of forty feet, while the distance around her rail is nearly a quarter of a mile. She is to be fitted with engines of 1S.OO0 horse power, sufficient to propel her at t speed of from twelve to twenty knots. The Korea will accommodate HOO passengers, of whom POO will be first cabin passengers. She is designed for the Pacific Mail Co to ply between San Francisco and Honk Kong.

A Sure Cure For DivOrces

The only touble with renl happiness is that after we secure the prize we do not appreciate it. For instance, the girl you would make your wife to- day you would do anything in the world to please. Why should there be a change after marriage?
 The same charms which won your heart are still there. .,
 The leopard does not change his spots. Why have you?
 You found pleasure flirting with your best girl before marriage; why not keep it up afterwards. 'Tis when we stop flirting divorces begin. NEV- ER BEFORE! Then we say, keep on fiirting-with your own good wife. We have furnished thousands of homes and in no case have we had any trou- ble where the flirting habit was kept up. Our spring stock of House Fur, nishings are the best we have ever eX hibited and the prices are the lowest while the quality is the highest.

Each Rehearsal Brings Out More
 Clearly Strong Points of This Play.
 There was another pleasing rehear- sal of the above drama at St Patrick 8 hall last night, by the cast selected from St Joseph's T. A. society, and everybody felt satisfied at the close of the rehearsal that it was going to be a great success. All the difficulties have now been surmounted and the work is running along smoothly and soon the drama will be ready for pro- duction. It has required much time and hard work. but each of the char acters has sacrificed very much to per feet herself or himself ill the part as signed to each.

National Directors Will Decide Matter
 on Tuesday, April 2.

oh 4 ANOS0ASs APA
 New Haven, March 23.-The erection of large building suitable for the purposes of the order, Is under con sideration by the national directors of the Knights of Columbus. At the an nual session of the national council in this city a few weeks ago the matter of purchasing headquarters was left to the directors. It was then proposed to purchase the St Aloysius society build ing. Since the matter has been placed in the hands of the directors, however, certain suggestions have been. which. if made, will cause the abandonment of the plan to buy the Meadow street property. The members of the board of directors have now a plan under consideration of buying property and erect modern structure which will serve as a national headquarters and make general headquarters for all the local councils of the Knights of Columbus.
 Daniel Colwell. the national secre- 1 tary of the Knights of Columbus, was | asked about the plans for the new building. He said:
 "Since it became known that we were looking about for building, we have had offered to us as being in the market several large buildings in the city. They are all located in the cen ter of the city and some are desirable for the purpose for which We want 1 one.
 Nothing definite has yet been de. cided about the purchase of the prop erty of the St Aloysius society on Meadow street. The price asked fo1 some of the buildings that have been offered to us is as large as it would cost us to put up building according to our own plans. and it has therefore come down to the point where we de sire to consider the erection of a build ing as the best plan rather than buy l ing property which might necessitate remodeling at considerable expense.
 ''The national board of directors vii meet in this city on Tuesday, April ? and l might say that the principa business of this meeting is for the consideration of building plans Ii it is decided to erect new building it will be modern in every respect anC large enough to accommodate all the Knights of Columbus in this city,

Lots of Hard Work Being Done in
 Preparation for the Coming Show.
 Strung across Bank street is one of the neatest and most attractive banners that has been seen ill this city, which is advertising the min strel performance of the Waterbury lodge of Elks. The lodge is sparing no pains to make the minstrels a de cided success and expense will not cut any figure in the matter. Scott Snow will be down again from Hart ford tomorrow and will put the boys through another course of instruction. The beauty of this performance is that it will be different from all other minstrel performances for it will be off the original style and will be novel in every particular. Every member is expected to be present tomorrow afternoon when the rehearsal begins.
