BAkER A VIOLENT MANIAC.

James L. Baker, who shot and killed
his wife in Atlanta in the spring of
1900. and over whom a celebrated legal
fight was waged, is now confined In the
state insane asylum at Milledgeville,
said to be a violent maniac. Baker
was sent to the penitentiary last year
to serve a life sentence for his crime,
but he remained in the pen only few
months. His case went on record as
one of the most noted in the criminal
annals of the state One of the most
remarkable features was that Baker
was five times respited by Gov. Can
dler. After the commutation of his
sentence, Baker was sent to the Dade
coal mines. He could do very little
work, as one of his hands is crippled,
and he was removed from the mines
to the prison farm at Milledgeville.
After being there for a time he de-
veloped violent form of insanity, and
the state, on it's own motion, had him
placed in the asylum,

a good story illustrative OF tine sim
plicity of character OF old Admiral
Stephen B. Luce, whose work on sea-
manship is now textbook in the navy
was told by the officers who served
under him on the South Pacific sta
tion.
The admiral, then a commodore, had
as his flagship the old corvette Quineh-
baug. On the quarterback was a very
comfortable lounging place formed by
a pile OF spars, cushioned by coils tor
running gear, and the junior officers
formed the habit Of sitting there dur
ing the monotonous night hours, in
stead OF pacing up and down the quar-
terdeck, as the regulations require.
The old commodore had mis- suspicious.
but he was not convinced, and pre-
ferred to suffer an infraction Of the
rules rather than run the risk OF ac-
cusing his officers unjustly.
But one day, when the ship was In
Caliao, a Yankee peddler, who had
somehow drifted into the tropics came
on board and sold 10 the commodore
pedometer, guaranteed to record au-
tomaticaily the distance Travelled by
q pedestrian up TO 200 miles. That
night, when the ensign OF the first d.
vision was about TO go on watch. the
commodore summoned him to the cabin
and said:
"Mr. =, wish you 10 carry this lit
tie package with you during your en-
tire watch and then pass II on 70 tour
relief. Instruct him 10 do likewise.
and then hand II 10 me at quarters TO-
morrow morning"

in twelve hours on deck How do you
account for that?"
The three faces fell like a thermome-
ter in a blizzard, and the boys re-
mained silent while the old gentleman
proceeded to read the regulations re-
garding the duties Of officers Of the
deck, particularly emphasizing that
part which relates to walking, and
afterward added an extempora riot act
or his own composition.
But he concluded, II am not will
ing 10 convict YOU on the evidence
OF one trial Of a catch-penny nnechani-
cal contrivance. II you have loafed,
stop II; but carry this instrument
again tonight"
The trio held a council OF war. II
was the second division mans first
watch that night, and as he took the
deck he called one OF the apprentices
boys
Williams" he said. ''you have some
extra duty against you Take this 1T
tie box and shake IL as hard as YOU
can for two hours and then return il
TO mo-"
Then the junior sat down and rested
till the box was returned to him.
The next morning the same three
officers were called to the cabin. and
as before found the commodore seated
hand.
Gentlemen" he said, II have done
you an injustice on the testimony of
mere machine. Yesterday this thing
registered little less than two miles.
while this morning II shows that YOU
walked In twelve hours 1S0 miles. which
IS manifest ifnpHssibilfty. The thing
is absolutely worthless and the com
mooore threw the machine out OF the
cabin port Into the sea.
He never knew the facts Of the case
until the end OF the cruise. and then
the first division officer told him. But
the commodore had just been con-
ilrmed as rear admiral and laughed
heartily at the toke.

Away.

London, Nov. GA simple white card
without black border hangs on the door
of the residence Of DR.. Joseph Parker at
Hampstead, inscribed. AT o'clock p M.
DR.. Parker assembled"
DR.. Parker suffered from a complication
Of ailments, the most serious of which
affected his heart and was the immediate
cause Of death. He had been afflicted
with insomnia, not having enjoyed a nat
ural sleep for six weeks
His amazing vitality and strength of
constitution led his friends to hope for
his recovery, and he himself only aban-
doned hope few days ago. He took no
farewells. as he was unable to talk much
during the past three days. He asked
for a piece Of paper and tried to write,
but the words were illegible.
During his last hours he took evident
pleasure in the singing Of hymns by those
around his bedside.
DR.. Parker was a popular Congrega-
tional preacher. He was born April 80,
1880. at Hexam- on-Tyne; was educated
at private seminaries and University COL
lege, London. He was pastor at Ban
bury 1s53-5S at Manchester 1s5S-69, and
settled in London in 1869. He built the
City Temple at cost Of $4,000. At the
time of his death he was chairman of the
Lancashire Congrega tional union; chair
man Of the Manchester Congregational
board; chairman of the London Congre-
gational board, and chairman Of the Con-
gregational Union of England and Wales.

A Birdie ON MOSBY
Old Confederate Raider Displeases
Washington by His Criticisms
..4 of Nebraska Senators.
He Discusses the Attitude of Mill
ard and Dietrich and Promises
a Great Sensation.
Nesr TorS. .Sssr. S1eoidZ SsrvIes

Washington. Nov. 2s.-Officers of the
interior department are not pleased with
the FREQ utterances Of Colonel John S.
Mosby, the special agent of the general
land office. regarding the Wholesale land
frauds which are now being Investigated
by the federal grand jury in Omaha and
IN which some of the wealthiest cattle
men in western Nebraska are involved.
In the newspaper dispa tches from Chi
cago containing the interview with Col
onel Mosby he was made to criticize
Verely the attitude taken by Senators
Willard and Dietrich of Nebraska with re-
gard to the alleged frauds. The depart
ment has no informa ton to the atti-
tude OF the Nebraska senators, but does
not believe that they would endeavor to
place any obstacles in the way Of a rigid
investigation or In any other way coun
tenance the efforts of the LAND barons'
to secure large tracts Of government
lands by means of illegal entries and
transfers from war widows"
In any event the department considers
that Colonel Mosby talked too freely and
that his utterances, considering the posi-
ton he occupies as an official Of the gov
eminent, were not in good taste. 1t IS
probable he will receive an intimation to
this effect and will be asked for an eX-
PLANTATION of his criticisms Of the Ne
brasha senators.
