The detectives pointed out the contradic-
tions and explained now unreasonable his
story was, whereupon Williams said:
We'll, now I'll tell YOU all about it,
don't want to tell a lie. We did have
some trouble and l peat her, but / didn't
think 1t would so so FAR. / was drunk
when I got home and I hardly know what
the trouble started about"
Williams then proceeded with an account
OF Saturday nights affair, and concluded
by saying he did not intend or expect to
kill the woman. He told of having drawn
the money at the Navy Department, and
of getting drunk afterward. He spent
S1.90 of the woman's SO, he said. and wher
he reached home bet tween II and l. O'Clock

conduct, and he struck her with a loaded

Then" he said, I'VE had 'scrimmage
and / beat her with my fist and put her or
the bed
Mrs. Brown. he told the detectives. asked
then it was that he threw her on the bed.
The woman fell with such force that the
bed was broken. Shortly after this oc-
CURED, Williams said, he heard his victim
snoring, and then he lay on the bed and
went to sleep. Some time before daybrea k

and wall and changed his shirt. The blood
stained garment was thrown under the
house, where it was found by Policeman
Howard after the prisoners confession.
The cane, he said, he burned. and threw
the loaded end out in the yard.

lars of the Crime.

Charles Williams, colored, twenty-four
years old, is held at the fifth precinct sta
tion charged with the murder Saturday
night, of Mrs. Mary V. Brown, also col
ored, with whom he lived at No. 1o2 18th

ing to find ii. Policeman Frank NJ. How
ard arrested Williams and the witness,
while Detectives Browne and Lacy obtain
ed the confession from Williams.
The police first learned of the woman
death about O'Clock yesterday morning,
when Williams called at the police station
and gave the information that Mrs. Brown
was dead. She had died without having
been attended by physician. he reported,
and because of the nature OF this state
ment the police did not make haste with
the investigation, believing it to be an
ordinary case
Policeman Howard went to the house
after the O'Clock roll call yesterday
morning, and the condition of affairs in
the room made it apparent that the wom-
ans death had resulted from violence. Her
dead body was resting the bed in which
there was large pool of blood.
The woman'S Iace WAS cut and bruised
and appeared as if she had been brutally
beaten with some instrument harder than
a mans fist. Both her eyes were very
much discolored and everything in the
room indicated that severe struggle had
taken place.

The factory now gives steady employ
ment TO 80 hands and is manuiacturing
the best line Of goods that good material
aud wellpaid labor can produce. The
result will be that a first-class ladies'
line diess shoe, warrented in all partic-
ulars, that had formerly been sold at
$50, s2.75, and $500, Mr.. Levi can now
sell at 800, s.. 25, and $3.50, as he promo

To the Memory OF George.

Thursday afternoon last the Beaver
Valley, Whig Hill and Town Line
schools met at the last named school
house to honor the name of our great and
good George Washington. Not the
schools alone, but the aged and middle
aged were there to encourage by their
words and presence, the young Ameri-
cans. \ considerable number of the
old comrades Of Eli Berlin Post were
present to participate in honoring the
father of our great country.
The singing OF patriotic songs, dia-
logues and recitations were beautifully
executed by the schools, illustrating the
talent and patriotic energy of the teach
ers. Rounds of applause followed the
many acts, recitations, etc.
Town line school executed manual
drill so perfectly that the house went off
in perfect storm of applause.
After the exercises by the schools the
visitors were called upon to make some
remarks. Comrade Stoughton was first
and opened the wav by saying he could
not make a speech, but before be sat
down he convinced the people that he
was not judge ofspeech making, or for
the moment he lost sight Of the one great
principle for which George was noted
Comrade J. Albaugh was then called
upon. He responded i'm twenty min
ute talk and although suffering from the
effects of the grip he was listened to with
marked attention, dropping mony grand
thoughts for the boys and girls. He
paid glowing tribute to the educational
system Of our corntry and urging us on
to renewed energy in the three great
principles which form the foundation of
true Americans, namely-Godlines ed
ucation and patriotism. Mr.. and Mrs.
Catlin also gave some good thoughts
worth remembering.
The teachers, Miss Anderson of Town
Line. Mrs. Parsons of Beaver Valley and
Miss Catlin of whig Hill, responded in a
few well chosen remarks.
The school room was beautifully deco. |
rated, rejecting great credit on the wor-
thy teacher, Miss Anderson.
1t was an afternoon of real endowment
and all went to their homes satisfied with
the realization that they were present at

Imperfect hearing, and when it is entire.

The Punxsutawney Spirit treating on
human irailties says: People who have
thoughts to think, and enjoy thinking
them, detest noise. Children and people
who are almost purely animal, enjoy
hubub and turmoil. A healthy imbicile
likes to rattle chain, pound with a stick
or do anything to make noise. Give
him horn to blow a drum to beat or a
bell to ring, and he will grin likea wood
en- fox. Bright children will do the same.
What Josh Billings terms an "ordinary
damphool," will whistle or sing, or beat
the devils tattoo with his fingers 10 keep
his meagre intellect busy Wealthy peo-
pie who have no particular brains TO
speak ofand nothing to do put on claw
hammer coats and low-necked dresses
and go to balls where they act like saw
ages at a snake dance, to the music Of an
orchestra. TEey call themselves "soci-
ety. Society people are any sort Of poo-
pie who can amuse themselves with friy-
olities. What is known as "high society"
may be distinguished from ordinary So
ciety by the fact that its members drink
champaign instead Of beer. That is the /.
purely animal idea Of pleasure.

THERE is not much chance that Cuba's
constitution will be presented to Con-
gress at the present session. 1t is re-
ported that the instrument is nearly
completed, and that the finishing touches
are being put upon it. In fact, the Gu
bans have made about as good speed
with their charter as the Americans did
with the constitution framed in I7s7. The
Philadelphia convention was in session
about four months, which is slightly
longer than the time which has elapsed
since the Havana convention opened. If
the Cuban constitution is dealt with by
Congress before next December an extra
session will have to do it. The indica-
tons, indeed, are that an extra session
cannot be averted.

America makes better goods than the

and can usually fill orders quicker. THIS

ABELL OBTAINS BoNDSMAN
CENSUS ENUMERATOR TODAY RE-
LEASED FROM CUSTODY.
Investigation Into Alleged Census
Mudd Confers with Director.

Stephen A. Abel, under arrest charged
with having made false returns to the
census office while employed as census
enumerator in St Mary's county. Nd. was
today released on bail by direction of JUS
tice Barnard in Criminal Court No. i.
Reuben NJ. Harlow qualifying surety in
the sum of 1900.
Frederick A. Wines assistant director Of
the census, returned to Leonardtown. Nd.
last evening and resumed charge OF the
force of census employees engaged in veri-
flying the returns from Charles and st.
Mary's counties.
The director of the census said to a re-
porter for The Star today that new
feature has developed I'm the case. The
inquiry into the alleged frauds, he said.
Is in progress. and he declines to further
discuss the case for publication until he
shall come into possession of all the facts
obtainable He declines to say whether
additional arrests will or will not be made.
Offers to Assist.
Representative Mudd called upon Dr.
rector Merriam yesterday afternoon and
stated that he courted the fullest investi-
cation, and offered his assistance in prob
ing the charges of fraud in the census
enumeration in Charles and st. Mary's
counties
In discussing the pan winch Is DelilS pur-
sued by the census officials Mr.. Mudd said:
81 do not think. I am frank to say, that
the directors present method of investiga-
ton is a fair test of the accuracy of a for
mer census. 10 send number of men
from the census office into Charles and st.
Mary's counties in the middle of winter,
where they have never been before, unac-
Quainted with the roads, which are in num-
bers of instances bad. over country in some
sections swampy, densely wooded and very
difficult to find ones way through, and
every body will agree In advance that it Is
almost an impossibility not to omit a great
many people. The directors method of in
quiry also does not contemplate any men,
ton of those who were heretofore omitted
anu who should be properly credited to the
counties. 1t would be remarkable if such a
method of testing the accuracy of the CEN
sus did not in every case show up an ap-
parent decrease of population"
Director Merriam said this afternoon that
discussion of the legal points involved in
the case is premature. He thought the
matter of Interpretation of the law with
regard to the enumeration of non-residents
voting in the enumerator's district would
not figure in the case.

case of the two Englishmen who arrived In
this country late in February under a con-
tract to enter the employ OF Philadelphia

Objection was made to their admission on
the ground that their coming was in viola

Taylor finds that bobbinet lace making il a

the men are entitled to land under the law
which admits iaborers to be employed in q
