of Murder,

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct 31.-Gov-
ernor White issued a proclamation to-
day committing the death sentence of
J. Wesley Beatty, the Preston county
murderer, to life Imprisonment. He
was to have been hanged November

county of murder in the first de-
gree in December, 1900, for the killing

death sentence committed. Several
respites haye been granted and the
case carried to the supreme court,
which affirmed the decision of the
lower court. Beatty was re-sentenced
by the circuit court and was to have
paid the penalty of his crime on No
vember 20, but the pardon board at
the last session recommended the

SAW THE WORLDS BEST.
Prince Henry Visited The Training School
Which Turns Out The Best Equipped
And Most Masterful Naval
Officers In The
World

When Admiral Prince Henry OF Pfus-
sia visited the United States Naval Acad-
emy at Annapolis. Md. on Friday last he
doubtless apprs ciated with the keenes,
professional relish the privilege OF in
specting a training school which turns
out the best equipped and most master
full naval tfficers IN the word.
The thoroughness OF the United States
Naval ACADEMY s teachings and the dis
tinguished quality OF It's product are freely
acknowledged by all authorities on the
sea power Of the various great nations OF
earth. For some reason, OF bioed or tenn
permanent or special education, the Amer
lean naval officer is confessed leader in
the silence OF sea.fs shting. and ofgeneral
seamanship. His supre macy as a sailor
is share by the men under him, the his
tory OF American bluejackels from the
earliest days being history OF uncheck-
ed victory over all Corners.
This demonstrated superiority OF the
American naval Officer and the American
enlisted man in our navy has continued
from the days OF sailing ships to these
press nj times. when waiship is vast
fighting machine OF steel, iron, colossal
enh hinefy, giant guns and scientific me
chanics. The American naval officer and
seaman has improved with the improve
ment oil the service. He was an uncon-
querable sea fighter under sail. He is
an uncoDquerable sea tighter under steam
There has never been in the worlds
history a more splendid illustration OF
preparedness for war after long years Of
peace than was that given by the Ameri-
can navy in the COT flict with Spain. In
scientific fighting, IN Workmanship, in
the handing OF vessels under fire, the
American demonstrated that his native
and trained abilities are OF the very
highest oid.r.-Sf Louis Republic.
