ment.
This statement, from the wife of

ed by John Summer, president of the
Barker Defense Association. 1t is as
follows:
III the friends of Mr.. Keller do
not think he has been libelled, then
nothing that / can do or say wonld
induce him to bring suit against me
for slander. am convinced now that
no further statement | could make
would alter the opinion OF those who
would be blind to the truth. l shall
not again 60 into the details.
i would say, however, that re-
peat the charges ! have made at
various times against the rector Of
Trinity Mission. ! stand by them,
and particularly the one to which !
swore and affixed my name on June
10. |. took oath then to the truth. l
stand by and repeat those charges
now, for the first time since the
shooting making any statement in
the matter outside of those made to
my lawyers, and on the stand at my
husbands S trial.
My husbands s friends have invited
a suit for slander against ME that
may have an opportunity of clearing
my name of the blcmish Of falsehood.
The answer has been.-silence. l
have made charges and challenges a
suit in open Court.
Il repeat those charges and do
again challenge suit tor slander.
| have done all a woman can do. No
further statement from me will be
Forthcoming on this subject.
According to the same newspaper,
friends of Rev. Mr.. Keller d:clarc
that the statements of Mrs. Barker
have been in form worthy OF recog- 1
milton or belief,and that, therefore,
the regis tered letter will not be ac-
Cepted and no action will be begun.
t., The RRtEiNIr Keller has partly re.
covered his eyesight and can now

decided when he will regularly reoc-

VENICE ON TIE MAINE COAST.
Splendid Summer Resort Projected by the Millionaire Yachtsman,
 sIndependenee Lawson"

Thomas w. Lawson, yachtsman, cop per king, multimillionaire, horse breeder, dog fancier and gas agitator, is going to build miniature Venice on the rugged coast of Maine, reports a Boston correspondent of the Philadel- phia North American.
 He has bought two islands off Ston- ington on Deer isle, and has an option on 12 others, which he will pay for when the titles are proved to his sat isfaction. These islands are situated in Isle Au Taut bay, and are about Is miles from the mainland.
 His plans contemplate the building of the most remarkable summer resort in the United States. The islands are all close together and many of them can be connected with bridges. On Saddle Back, the largest of the group, about 40 acres in extent, MT. Lawson will erect magnificent palace for him. self.
 The whole matter will be placed in the hands of landscape artist, who will furnish plans which will trans form the islands into a "Venice in America" The smaller islands will be cleared of everything unsightly, but everything which shows the rugged beauty of the group will be left un- touched.
 On some of the larger islands there will be conservatories and vine-covered vestibules. Minia ture parks will be filled with deer, bears, gray squirrels, cartridges and every game animal that lives in Maine. The wkole cost of the project will be above $1,0OO0 0O0.

CARVE NAMES ON TERRApIN.
One of These Slow-Going Animals Serves NIissourians as a Sort of
 Autograph Album.

Southwestern Missouri has a terra pin which has been utilized for 20 years as an autograph album by those citizens across whose path it chanced to creep. It is also concluded by late investigators that this slow-going animal with the protected back is given to revisiting the same places at stated intervals of several years. That these animals survive for an inde- finite period and sometimes revisit their former haunts is equally we'll esta blished by a curious find made by Sheriff L. Copeland, of Marles county, near Vienna. The sheriff chanced to pick up small land terrapin or land tortoise, such as are common in the Ozark country, by the roadside. On examination the animal proved to be living, walking autograph album, bearing the monograms of number of prominent citizens of Maries coun- ty and dating back over 20 years.
 The shell was covered with initials carved with a knife. Among them were: .W. R. E." William Ellis, of Rolla, Mo-, 1881; "B. H."-Bil1 Hoops, 1888, a we'll known citizen, now dead; "J. P. A."-J. P. Anderson, 1897; "J. P. B.''-John Bade, 1s97;. ex-county official. Other initials were those of T. J. Ellis and J. T. Hoops and one sP. o." whose owner fs unknown. Some of the monograms were we'll worn and barely legible.. Sheriff Copeland inscribed his name with the rest and started the terrapin out on another journey.
