WHAT EXPERIENCE TEACHES.

An observing writer notes that the
self made man of to- day starts with
little means, but with a purpose to
make a large success Usually he
makes some mistakes, which depress
him for a time, but he renews his ex-
pariments, and in most cases he learns
that mercantile success depends on the
sale of more goods, which means in
teresting more people through public
ity. In other words, he depends on
newspaper advertising Philadelphia

) army's representative

Va has esen in the army since
1850. 1t is of local interest to recall
that he commanded the Third Division
of Sherman's cavalry in 1864, and that
) he was present at the capture of Fort
Pulaski. Probably nobody not IN the
confidence of the President regarded
Gen. Wilson as likely to receive the ap-
pointment. It was thought that Gen.
Corbin would be the officer selected.
Capt. Clark, the naval representative,
is Vermont man, SO years old. Next
to Dewey and SchIey, he is easily the
most popular man in the navy. There
will be no objection to Clark on the
part of the people, since Dewey could
not be named. Wilson and Clark are
something in the nature of surprise.

MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED.
William strother Confesses to Kill
ing Cooper with "A Coal Hammer
While the Latter Was Asleep.

ST. Louis, AIN. 25.-William
Strother, the negro attendant at the
Vista Turkish Bath House. at Grand
and Franklin avenues, confessed to-day
to the murder of Alexander d. Cooper,
the millionaire, on Wednesday night in
the bath house.
The confession was made to-day be-
fore Chief of Police Kelly, Chief of De-
tectives Desmond and a police steno-
grapher who took the murderers
words verbatim. Strother signed the
confession after it had been tram
scribed.
Strother, who had been constantly
"sweated" by Chief Desmond, finally
broke down this afternoon, just prior
to the hour for the coroner's inquest to
begin, and confessed all. He said that
he took a coal hammer in one hand,
lifted in high in the air and brought
it down on the head of Mr.. Cooper,
who was asleep on the cot. Il don't
know why / did it," said Strother. Il
guess 1 must have been drunk or
mad"
The coroner's jury this afternoon
found the following verdict:
D. Cooper came to his death Jan. 2S
1902, at $3.50 a. m. from fracture Of
the skull resulting from blow struck
with sledge hammer by William
Strother
Verdict, unjustffiaDie homicide
A number of witnesses were exam
ined Deputy Coroner Boogher con-
Quoting the inquest asked the prisoner,
Strother, if he desired TO make state
ment. Strother replied that he had been
advised by his attorney, Crittenden
Clark, a negro, not to make any state
ment. Coroner Boogher then asked
Strother if he would identify the sig
natures on the separate pages of his
typewriter confession as his own. This
he did.
Chief Of Detectives Desmond testi-
fed that he had secured a confession
and the sJenographer read it to the
jury, which later retired and reported

MRS. RICHARDSON ACQUITTED
savannah, Mo-, Woman Found Not
Guilty of Husbands Death.


Plattsburg. Mo, Jan. 25.--Mrs. Addie
Richardson was, this afternoon, ac-
quilted of the charge of numbering her
husband, Frank Richardson, a wealthy
merchant who was shot and killed
Christmas Eve, 1900. as he was enter
ing his home. Savannah, Mo. A dra-
matte scene followed the rendering of
the verdict. Mrs. Richardson was over
whelmed with congratulations from
friends who had crowded the court
room to await the arrival of the jury.
The jury went out at $3.50 and re-
turned with a verdict thirty-five min
utes later.
Mrs. Richardson was indicted for
murder in the first degree and the state
endeavored to prove as a motive that
she had sustained improper relations
with Stewart Fife, a young society man
and former business associate of Rich
ardson. Fife was arrested recently at
North Yakima, Wash, on a charge of
completely in the crime, and is now in
Jail in Savannah awaiting trial.
Mrs. Richardson sat as usual beside
her father and was surrounded by 9TH
er members of the Richardson family.
Most of the time, during the speech
making she covered her eyes with her
hand. The defense laid particular
stress on the fact that Mrs. Richardson
was a typical young Southern woman
who with characteristic hospitality had
thrown her house open to her hus-
bands friends.
The announcement of the verdict was
received with frantic enthusiasm and
joy, not only by Mrs. Richardson and
her own and her husbands relatives,
but by all the spectators. John ID.
Richardson, brother of the dead man,
seized the widow around the waist and
raised her clear off her chair. Holding
her in his arms, he kissed her again
and again while the crowd cheered.
After she was released by her brother
in-law, her venerable father, Adam
Lawrence, seized her in his arms and
their tears of joy mingled as they em-
braced each other. All of the relatives
and the attorneys for the defense gath
cred around the father and daughter,
and with tears of joy embraced pr con-
graduated the latter and the Richard
son boys were kissed by scores OF peo-
