this afternoon on the Philippine prob

problems of our powers in the Phil

we thought were settled in 1860; that
the constitution reached out from the

United States. 1t is the same battle
we have fought over again with the
same decision. The problem in the
opinion of all intelligent people is now
eliminated from our politics."
Mr.. Grosvenor endorsed the views of

OBITUARY..
Miss Josephine Duckworth.

A cablegram received yesterday
morning by Mr.. Hubert Duckworth
brought the sad news of the death of
his sister, Miss Josephine Battersby
Duckworth, which occurred on the pre-
vious evening, at the family place,
"The Heys," near Liverpool, England.
Miss Duckworth was the daughter of
Mr.. Joseph Battersby Duckworth, for
many years a citizen and leading mer-
chant of Savannah. Here her early
years were spent and there are many
persons in this city who cherish the
recollection of the sweet and tender
graces of her youthful mind and char
acter.
Miss Duckworth was but 10 years
old, but impressed with view and APP
probation of life that urged her to
some useful pursuit, she had adopted
the profession of a trained nurse and
had attained marked skill and pro-
flciency in the training school of the
Children's Hospital at Manchester,
England.
Nine weeks ago she was attacked by
reritonitis. which rapidly developed in
&c other diseases. Her condition became
gradually more critical and the end
which came Sunday evening was not
unexpected.

Miss Frances Jones, who lives in one
of the most picturesque and attractive
old homes In the city of Savannah, has

darby named Lavender, who for years
was a faithful slave and afterward a
servant in the Jones family. Laven-

lance in Savannah, and Is known to
all society men and women of that
city. His sayings are household words.

Miss Jones, who was planning a little
railroad trip to visit some relatives
near the small station of Yemasee, on
the Charleston and Savannah Rail-
road, called to Lavender, who was en-
gagged busting the parlor ornaments
with that dignity and sense of owner
ship which are among the chief char
acteristics, asked him whether the
morning train from Savannah to Char

little colored messenger boy on the
front door steps The boy had brought
a message. Lavender took the en-

very carefully and then said: I'm

Here the housemaid interrupted and
said to Lavender:

you know he got a map
There was a moments silence and
Lavender replied:

Here the boy disappeared, but Miss
Jones could hear Lavender muttering
to himself, as he delivered the note.
and then returned to his duties, the
housemaid meanwhile busying herself
in busting the doQrsteps. When Laver-

boy and said. with a whitening glance

the house with head erect, singing

the corresponding date in 1900 and a
ten-year average of 81. This sub
stantial improvement in the most i'm
portant corn states would undoubtedly
have resulted in a marked improve
ment in the average for the entire
country, but for the fact that four
teen Southern states. containing 1858
per cent of the total corn acreage,
show an average decline during July
of 1917 points.
The statistician estimates the winter

The average condition of barley de-
clined S.5 points during July, but on
Aug. 1 was still 2.3 higher than at
the corresponding date in 1901.
The average condition of spring rye
improved IL points during July.
Preliminary returns indicate a de-
crease of about 5000 acres, or eight
tenths of one per cent. in the acreage
in buckwheat as compared with that

of buckwheat Is three-tenths of a

Chicago, Aug. 11.-An important de-
velopment in the Bartholin- Mitchell
murder mystery was made to-day when
il was discovered that Bartholin had
been surprised July 3d. while standing
at the cellar grave of his murdered
mother, by real estate agent.
Peter vanVlissingen, who holds a
mortgage on Mrs. Bartholin's home,
and who sent his agent to the Calumet
property to appraise it the afternoon
of July 80, furnished the police with
the information about Bartholin work.
ing on the grave of his mother.
The agent called and rang the front
door bell repeatedly. No one answered,
and he went to the rear of the house
and looked through a basement win
dow. There he saw a man standing in
one corner looking at the floor appar-
emily absorbed in thought.
Suddenly the man in the basement
looked up and saw the agent peering
in. A moment later Bartholin came to
the rear door and asked the agent
what he wanted The latter replied
that he wanted to see Mrs. Bartholin.
Bartholin told the agent his mother
was in Milwaukee and would not re-
turn for several days. Shortly after
this conversation he was seen to leave
the house, and the same evening he
called at Minnie MitchelFs home. The
couple left together and the girl did
not return.
At the inquest over the body of
Mrs. Bartholin neighbors readily iden-
tilted the corpse as that of Mrs. Bar
tholin.
The burial to-day of Minnie Mitchell
by her family removed all doubt in the
public mind that the body found in the
field at 74th and State streets last week
was that of the young woman who
was last seen WIN BdrLnOlln. COM
plete hearing over Mrs. Bartholins
body was postponed by the coroner
until Aug. II in the hope that adj
ditional clews to the murders may be
obtained.
To-day 1t developed that young Bar
tholin had quarreled with his mother
just before she disappeared, over the
question of bringing his prospective
wife to live at his mothers home.
Surveyed Field of Murder.
Late developments to-day indicated
that Bartholin may have made care
full survey of the field where Minnie
Mitchelrs body and clothing, were
found. William Waldrop told the po-
lice that on Wednesday, July 80, he
met William Bartholin at Seventy
fourth and States streets, within a
few feet where the dead body of the
young mans fiancee was found. WAL
drop talked with Bartholin, whom he
knew personally. The last he saw of
Bartholin was when the young man
boarded northbound street car. 1t
is supposed that the murder of Minnie
Mitchell took place the same night
Bartholin's presence at the field where
the body was later found gives color
to the theory that the murder was
planned in cold blood.

POISONED BY ICE CREAM.
Members of Knox Family Near At
Ianta Had Close Call.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-THE members of
the family of Samuel NJ. Knox. con-
sisting of himself. wife, three daugh-
tiers and three grand children, were
stricken Sunday night with ptomaine
poisoning, after having partaken of
some home made ice cream during the
afternoon. Mr.. Knox is a travelling
salesman and resides at Poplar
Springs, about four miles from the
city. Mrs. Knox and Miss Myrtis
Knox, the oldest daughter, suffered
greatest, and for time it was thought
Mrs. Knox would not survive. AS d
result of the poisoning, Mrs. Knox and
two of her daughters are still confined
to their beds, and it may be several
days before they will be completely re-
covered, But for the prompt arrival
of physician and his medical aid, it
is highly probable that one or more
members of the family would now be
dead.

THE eye Of the American eagle has
not come in for it's share of attention"
| said patriot who has an ardent love
for the national bird, land 1t seems to
me that some man who is capable of
developing to the fullest the grandeur
and almost limitless possibilities of
this finished work Of nature should take
the subject up. The eagle has been
conspicuous in literature and in art
generally. Poets have sung their lit
tie songs about the aerial wonder. They
have allowed their imaginations to soar
out into the upper air, and all that sort
of thing. ] have read somewhere OF
d little sketch about the rare delicacy
and skill nature has displayed in carv-
ing the eagles beak The tribute Is
amply deserved. The eagles beak, his
pinions his claws, and in fact every
thing about the eagle, appeal to me.
But ] was speaking of the eagles
eye. Did you ever look into the eye
of an eagle? II so. have you not been
impressed with the unspeakable earn
estness, the frankness and honesty to
be found here? Have you thought
of how much Of the eagles nature you
could find in an eagles eyes-how
much Of that Wild passionate love of
freedom? How much OF that splendid
craving TO soar forever above and be-
yond the callous nothings of too re-
stricted life nearer the ground? Could
you not read somewhat of the eagles
virtuous love OF things almost human
1.-The love of mate, and the love OF
home? There is a world in the eagles
eye, a world OF philosophic reflection.
and the pity is that the colors cannot
be preserved. At any rate it is an in
teresting subject. and one which might
be developed II some person would
but take the time in this rushing age
TO pay a passing tribute TO this wonder
