MURDER MYSTERY.
Death Of Young Fred Hardy Of Mt.
Pleasant,
In Brooklyn Two Years Ago, About
to be Explained-Mrs. Henry
George Testifies.

st. Louis, Oct. H. The Post-D Dis
patch's New York spe ial says
One of the greatest murder mysteries
Df recent years is about to be cleared.
show that intense rivalry
between central Office detectives and
precint policemen have thwarted efforts
to sooner run down the murderer.
The widow of the late Henry George
has volunteered important information,
which. with other evidence, closely
connects woman and man with the
crime.
Frederick Hardy, an art student
whose parents live at Mt. Pleasant
Tenn, spent Sunday evening, Oct l.
1899, with the family of friends near
Fort Hamilton IN Broolyn. He left
about 10 o clock and was not again
seen alive by acquaintance. Thirty
days later his dead body was found in
the bay.
1t is now developed that after leav-
ing his friends Hardy went to resort
known as the Dewey House at Fort
Hamilton. On leaving there he met a
young woman and invited her to take
a walk with him. She consented. A
few moments later Hardy was struck
down By man who was infatuated
with the art stud ent's companion.
Jealousy was the cause of the attack.
The weapon was stone and the blow
on Hardy's head caused him to die
within few minutes.
The woman screamed, but was COM
manded TO keep quiet by the murderer.
She was told to go to her home, first
being cautioned to keep silent about
what had happened.
The murderer induced friend to
assist him in the work of disposing Of
the body.
The two placed it in a small yacht
which one Of men had been accustomed
to sailing.
The body was weighted and cast
overheard.
According to Mrs. Henry George,
who recalls the night of the murder
perfectly, her attention was called tt
the conversation of a young man and
woman, one Of whom proved to have
been Hardy. Then followed an outcry
as of man in dire distress Their
all WAS still. A few moments after
ward the silence was broken by 1
hysterical cry OF the woman. Tht
voice of the man then arose and he wa
heard to tell the woman to remain
! quiet. Mrs. George was about to lool
out of the window, when she came t,
the conclusion that perhaps it wa
only brawl. Others heard the same
things, and say if the police are in
clined to unravel the mystery tn,
identity of the man and woman Cal
easily be learned. In fact, their name
are being freely used in the neigbbor
hood gossip.

GEN. OTIS VISIT.
Not in the Nature Of an Official In
spection Tour.
He was Pleased with the Arsenal
Property, but Gould Not Tell
What Would be Done
with It.

Major General Ewell S. Otis and
Adjt. General @. H. Murray, who
spent Friday here, left ON the even
ing train at 3 :45 clock for Chicago.
During the day the two distinguished
visitors together with Senator e, w.
Carmack, Hon. James B. Frazier Of
Chattanooga, Congressman L. P. Pad
gett Maj. W. J. Whitthorne and
others were guests of Maj. James
Rockwell at the Arsenal and in the
afternoon the party took delightful
drive into the country and viewed some
of Maury county justly famous
scenery, made more beautiful by the
ideal October weather.
Gen. Otis is at the head of the depart
ment having supervision of the Colnm-
bia Arsenal, and it had been presumed
that his visit here would have something
to do with the final disposition of that
property. However, from what in
formation can be gained, it seems that
his visit did not carry with it any
special significance.
A few minutes before his departure
he was interviewed at the depot by a
Herald reporter, who questioned him
in regard to the nature of his visit,
and what he thought would be done
with the Arsenal. The General ia
every inch soldier, of dignified bear
ing and robust figure. and yet courteous
and affable in his manners.
| The reporter informed him that the
readers of the Herald were exceedingly
anxious to find out what was going to
be done with the Arsenal, and that he
the reporter) was equally as anxious
to tell them.
II am sorry" replied the General,
"but | cannot inform you. You know
about as much as do
What is the purpose of your visit
here?' asked the reporter
Il had come as far as Columbus Bar
racks on an inspection tour. and aftel
reaching there decided to make visit
to Columbia and look over the Arsenal
here. | did not come under orders from
the Secretary of War to inspect the
Arsenal. Some time age sent an off
Ger here for the purpose of investigat
ing the practicability of converting thu
property into a military post.
/ What do you think win be don,
with it9''
/ II am not in a position to say. Tha
matter is in the hands of the Secretar,
of War, and will be decided by him
However You may say that this Arse
nal will not be allowed to go to ruin
or abandoned in the true sense of tn,
word; it is TOO valuable piece O
property. You have an elegant plac
out there, and / was pleased with it
it will certainly be put to some goo,
use
The conversation then turned t
other matters, and the General spok
highly OF this part of the State, an,
especially of that section Of the coun
| try through which he had driven dur
ing the afternoon. 'sYou have fin
country down here, = he said. II hay

WATTERSON
SHES his Castor Into the Guberna-
toriaI Race.
A Moses to Lead the Kentucky De-
mocracy Out CT the Wilderness
Has an Eye on the
Presidency.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 10. Henry
Watterson, editor of the Courier Jour
nal, has overcome his antipathy to
Office holding, and has quietly an
nounced to his friends and few poll
ticians that he will not be averse to
accepting the nomination for Governor
OF Kentucky in 1908. Mr.. Watterson
has made no public announcement of
his candidacy but ii is now generally
known that he is willing to accept this
office and lead the Kentucky Democrats
out of the wilderness into which the
party has wandered since the rise and
fall of the Goebel dynasty. The Even
ing Post, of Louisville, made the first
announcement of the fact that Mr.
Watterson was receptive candidate
this afternoon.
Among other things the Post SAYS:
Not only is Mr.. Watterson candi.
date for Governor at the present time,
but he is said to cherish the most
profound ambitions for future prefer
ment. He now desires to be the candi-
date of the Democratic party for Presi-
dent in 1904. and believes that if he
can carry Kentucky in 1902 he will
put himself in line for the nomination
for President one year later.
with this in view he is doing all in
his power to undermine the power of
Mr. Bryan in the party, and at the
| same time to ingratiate himself with
the men in this state, whom he has
opposed in the past. He is working
hard to induce the silver Democrats of
the state to forget the past, and he Is
also holding out the olive branch to
the business men of Louisville.
/ When Mr.. Watterson saw this he
smiled blandly and remarked: "OuT
afternoon contemporary seems to have
what the boys call scoop. Then
he smiled again. but not for long. His
telephone bell began to jingle and his
office boy to pass cards into his sane
tum. Reporters for rival sheets and
representatives of out-of-town papers
were on his trail.
i ssTell them Mr.. Watterson is moi
talking, is all he would say to any
one, and when he left ais office he in
, structed his secretary and others t6
make this reply to all inquiries.
j Although he has been in public lifs
4 nearly forty years and has been con

in more than one national administra

THE FUNERAL SERVICES.

The following is an editorial from
yesterdays Rocky Mountain News:
The dignitaries Of the nation, as
sisted by representatives ofthe pow
ers OF the world, yesterday celebrat-
ed the funeral services of President
Nc Kinley at the capital. The pomp.
Circumstance and stately ceremon-
les beftted the occasion, but, finest
of all, along the rain-swePt streets
Thousands upon thousands OF citi-
zens stood silently with barred heads
as the funeral cortege slowly pass,
ed to the throb OF muffled drum
Mourning emblems covered the
buildings, save the government
structures, which stood undraped
as though to remind the world that
while men may die the governmen,
lives.
Today the remains of the dead
president will repose in the little
city where he lived and loved, and
where. we may believe, were passed
his happiest hours. 1t was not in
the whirl and struggle of Washing
ton that a gentle nature could find
the atmosphere that brought it
highest pleasure.
Tomorrow in that city his re-
mains will be committed to earth,
but while the services will be more
modest than those Of yesterday no
funeral of any man since the earth
began will be attended in spirit by
so many mourners. Throughout
the length and breadth Of the na>
ton services will be held, and from
millions of hearts will arise pray
er to the Most High. From the
southermost sandpit of Florida to
the rock>bound coast of Maine, and
from where the waters of the Colo>
RADIO meet the ocean to the straits
of San Juan de Fuca, people, one
in political institutions, one in hopes
and aspirations and one in grief,
will stand in thought by the side OF
a grave and hear the falling clods

WANTS CABINET.
Roosevelt Asks All Members OF
McKinIey's Cabinet to Re-
main During His Term.

Washington, Sept. 17-President
Roosevelt at 3 o'clock today, convened
his Arst cabinet meeting held in Wash
ingtcn. At this meeting ths president
asked the members OF Mr.. Mckinley's
cabinet to retain their respective port
folios throughout his term and announc-
ed that his administration would follow
the policy outlined by President Mckin-
ley in his Buffalo spsesh.
After the obscq qsies over the late pres
ident, the cabinet, at President Roose-
veit's request, assembled at the residence
Of Commander Cowles. whore the presi-
dent is staying until after the funeral,
principally for the purpose OF informing
their new chief OF the state of Affairs in
their respective departments. The
president desired to learn whether tnere
were any matters of moment requiring
his attention before his departure to-
night for Canton. He was assured that
there was nothing Of pressing Import
ance.
Tho president then addressed his ad.
visors collectively as he had previously
done individually. requesting them all to
retain their respective positions in his
cabinet.
He expressed the hope and expectation
that every member would servo through.
out his term, for, he said, he rendered
the appointments 40 it he had just been
elected to tho presidency, and was form
ing an original cabinet. Tho president
said, however, that there was one differ
encs between the present tender and an
original offer. namely, that under the
present circumstances they were not at
liberty to decline.
Upon being asked by member il res
igaations should be formally presented
in the usual manner. the president ao-
swersd that his action at shis meeting
had prec!udsd the necessity OF present
ing resignations.
The discussion turned upon the policy
Of the administration and Mr.. Roosevelt
announced that he regarded the speech

GOAT IS WORTH a BIG SUM.

Two Thousand Dollars Il Asked for
Rocky Mountain Specimen.
Mr. Pugh OF Vancouver, B. c., has
the only Rocky Mountain goat ever
captured alive. and he wants $1,000 for
it. 1t is the opinion Of many that the
animal is well worth that sum. Mr..
Pugh is a hunter, trapper and taxider-
mist, and when, two years ago, the
Vancouver ZOO" offered $1,000 for a
live specimen OF the Rocky Mountain
goat he resolved to win the prize.
Others had spent thousands of dollars
in trying to fill the zoos order but
in vain. The mountain goat, the shy
est. but among the most beautiful OF
animals. resisted all attempts at cap
ture. Finally kid was secured and
nursed for month on a bottle just
where 1t was caught. at \ very high
altitude. 1t grew lusty and was safely
landed in England. Then came Mr.
Pugh's successful attempt, from which
he has just returned. His plan was q
novel one He and two companions
travelled into a land Of eternal SHOWS,
forty miles up sQuamish river. British
ever been. As anticipated, he found
that the wild animals. goats. bears,
wolves, marten, fisher, etc.-did not
fear man as much as each other. He
soon caught seven kids, but the beauti-
ful creatures all died when they struck
the lower atmosphere. His only hope
was to capture a yearling. At last,
after stalking one for three days, he
drove it onto q ledge two feet wide,
running along q perpendicular cliff.
His companions then tied q rope
around his waist and lowered him to
the ledge, 800 feet below. The goat
trotted along until the ledge pinched
out. Then. standing on its hind legs.
it clawsd the air like = WALKING horse.
Below the beast was q drop OF 1900
feet with nothing even for a mountain
goat to cling to. On one side was va
cant space, on the other side n man.
Mr.. Pugh allowed the creature to tire
itself out paving the air and the side
of the cliff above, whom 1t deliberately
crouched down at his feet and. looking
pleadingly into his eyes. waited to be
devoured. Mr.. Pugh held the goat un-
man were hauled to the top OF the elin.
A dozen other unsuccessful attempts
were made. In some cases the goats
leaped 100 feet and escaped from their
pursuers. The kids captured Isaped
thirty or forty fest In their attempts
to get away, but in their youthful folly
landed in the deep snow. The goat
captured became tame before reaching
the valley and ate out Of its captor's
hand.

tn. Religion. Dance. Seville.


Seville is the one place in the world
where dancing Is part Of religion
The dancing OF the Seises before the
high altar, as l saw 1t at the feast of
the Immaculate Conception. to me. was
not simply curious thing, but a thing
perfectly dignified, perfectly religious.
without suspicion of levity or inde-
corum. This conservation Of the dance,
this turning q possible vice into a
means Of devotion, this bringing of the
peoples art, the peoples passion, into
the church, finding 1t place there, Is
precisely one of those acts Of divine
worldly wisdom which the Catholic
church has often practiced in her con-
quest OF the world And it Is quite
logical development Of that very elab-
crate pantomine, using the word in all
seriousness, which the ceremonies Of
the church really are. since all have
their symbolical meaning. which they
express by their gestures. Already We
find in them every art but one: poetry.
(the very substance Of the liturgy. ora
tory. music. both of voices and Of in
struments. sculpture. painting. all the
decorative art. costume. perfume. every
art lending its service; and now At
last dancing finds its natural place
there. in the one city of the world
where its presence is most perfectly in
keeping.-Spectator.
