Will Probably Suffer for Their Mis-
conduct I'm Worth County.
Triton. Ga, May 14.-Monday morn
ing Elias Munsapp and Molly George,
two country foot-peddlers, travelling
about selling jewelry, etc, entered the
house of Mr.. Strauder, in Worth coun-
tya near Feagin's turpentine still. Mrs.
Strauder met them. and upon declining
to buy any goods from them, told them
to leave the house. They refused to
leave, and she again repeated her COM
mand. At this one, or both of the men,
seized and choked her considerably,
then left.
Mrs. Strauder was alone and did not
see any one to report the occurrence to
until Mr. Strauder returned at night
She communicated the affair to her hus-
band, and he at once sent q bailiff upon
their track. They we're located in Tiff
ton and were arrested by the bailiff
here Tuesday afternoon. Warrants
have been sworn out for them, and
they were taken to Ty Ty for commit
ment trial.
Mrs. Strauder is not seriously hurt,
but was badly frightened, and the peo-
pie of that section propose to have
punishment dealt to the prisoners, il
they are the right parties, and there
seems to be no doubt as to that.

DEATH OF WALTER BROOKS.
CORONER'S INQUESTS BEGINS
THREE MONTHS AFTER KILLING.

Florence Burns Represented by
Counsel, but Her Whereabouts I'm

in His misunderstanding Tos-
tevin Tried to Remain IncOEnitO,
but ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Miss Burns
Boarded With His Mother and Was
Sure the Comb In Evidence Was
Her Property.
New York, May 1.-THE inquest into
the death of Walter Brooks, the young
commission merchant who was shot in
the Glen Island Hotel on Feb. IA. was
begun to-day by Coroner Brown. Flor
ence Burns, who was arrest
ed on suspicion of being
responsible for the death, but
was discharged from custody at the
conclusion of the police magistrates
hearing, was represented by counsel.
Her lawyer said Miss Burns could
easily be found if wanted.
Coroner's Physician Weston and
other witnesses who testified at the
magistrates hearing repeated the evil
dence formerly given by them A de"
tective testified that he had been un-
able to find Florence Burns or her
parents to serve subpoenas directing
them to appear before the coroner.
The coroner's clerk then called
Mr.. Lennox." A man respond
ed, but told the coroner that
Lennox was not his name. He said
he desired to keep his identity secret
for both business and personal reasons,
but he was willing to give his name
and address to the coroner confidential
ly. The coroner agreed to this PROPOSE
ton, but several jurors objected and
Mr.. Lennox" was excused TEMPORARY
ly.
George Washington, a negro hotel
servant, told of showing Brooks and
a woman to a room in the eileen Is
land Hotel. He said he saw the wo-
mans face when he carried some
soda to the room. After Miss Burns
arrest he identified her as the woman
he saw in the hotel. To Mr. Backus,
Washington said the woman had dark
hair and complexion and a long thin
nose. Florence Burns is blonde and
has an upturned nose.
Mr.. LennoX" reconsidered his desire
to remain unknown and he was called
oSoLi " INC stdlu' ne gave MS name
as Alfred P. Tostevin. He said Flor
ence Burns boarded with him and his
mother nearly all of November, 1901
Tostevin said he had noticed the combs.
Miss Burns wore and had remarked to
his mother about them. He found one
comb on the parlor mantel piece sew
eral times and had it in his hand
twice. He was sure that comb found
in the Glen Island was one that had
belonged to Florence Burns.
At the conclusion of Tostevin's tes-
timony, the inquest went over until to-
morrow.

MEAT QUESTION SETTLED.
Right Food TO Take Its Place.

THE shortness of the meat supply
and the high price of steak is not an
unmitigated evil. On the contrary it
is a probable blessing" says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
IF meat could be raised to a price
that would make it prohibitory, it
might still be of good result, because
it would teach those who depend all
most entirely upon it to widen their
dietary and learn to enjoy many good
things of which they are now igno-
rant. To many, especially in the
cities. there are but three foods
meat, potatoes and bread. The weary
monotony of this programme, the un-
satisfied but indefinite longings for a
widening of it, affect appetite and
surely affect spirits and temper.
The labOrer goes to his work filed
with meat. potatoes and bread. At
noon he finds cold meat and bread in
his dinner pail, and at night he is
confronted by meat and potatoes,
sometimes separate. sometimes COM
bined into a greasy stew, sometimes
chopped into hash.
This kind of thing fills him, but in
a finer sense it can hardly be said to
feed him. Physicians have discovered
that a limited and unchanging diet
lowers vitality and health
Such a time as this gives every one
an opportunity to test the value of
Grape Nuts as a food and prove to
themselves that it more than takes
the place of meat and really furnishes
more nourishment for the body and
greater strength and vitality for the
brain and nervous system: II is also
an economical food that reduces the
cost of living to the minimum
Grape Nuts are probably entitled to
the claim to be the most perfectly
adapted food for human needs now
extant. The meat eater and the vege-
etarian are alike charmed with its
crisp taste and the delicate flavor of
grape sugar and the careful house
wife Is attracted by the fact that
there are fourteen portions in l5c
package.

CARDINAL GIBBONS WORKS.
UNION HELD TOGETHER NOT BY
SWORDS AND ARMIES.

Cemented by the Intelligence and
Love of Liberty of Its Citizens and
Bound Together by the Iron Chains
of Commerce and the Golden Links
of Love-The Cardinal and His
Party Given Great Reception by
Charleston and Drew Large Crowd
to Exposition Grounds.
Charleston. May 14.-There were
large crowds from Jacksonville. Fla.
and the upper country of this state at
the exposition to-day, but the attend
ance, which far exceeded any since
President Roosevelt's visit, was due to
the presence of Cardinal Gibbons. The
distinguished prelate arrived here this
morning accompanied by his secretary,
Rev. Father O'Donovan, Bishop j. J..
Monaghan of Wilmington, Del, Rev.
Mr.. Slattery of Baltimore, and others.
| They were met by Bishop Northrop,
several priests and members of the re-
ception committees and will be the
guests of Bishop Northrop during their
stay.
Later in the day Bishop Leo Haid,
vicar general of North Carolina, and
Bishop Monaghue of West Virginia
| arrived and met a cordial reception.
Cardinal Gibbons celebrated mass to-
day at 80 O'Clock at the Cathedral in
the presence of a large congregation.
At 2:30 o'clock the Cardinal bishops
and priests left the episcopal residence
| for the Exposition grounds.
The auditorium was crowded and the
addresses of Mayor Smyth and Presi-
dent Wagner welcoming the Cardinal
were enthusiastically received. Cardi-
nal Gibbons responded in his accus-
| toned happy vein, congratulating the
! president of the Exposition Company
! and the Mayor of the city upon the
marvellous work of their hands as ex-
hibited in the Exposition.
Commenting upon the recovery of
the South from the devastation of war,
he said
Our Union is held together to-day
not by swords and armies, but it Is ce-
mented by the intelligence and love of
| liberty of its citizens and bound to-
gether by the iron chains of commerce
and the golden links of love"
The Cardinal and the visiting priests
were handsomely entertained at a re-
ception at the home of Mr.. Bernard
O'Neill, on East Battery, this evening.
| Tomorrow the Cardinal will go on an
excursion around the harbor on the
| revenue cutter Forward, and in the
evening will leave here for St. Angus

7 RESTS WITH MITCHELL.
NE WILL HAVE DECIDING VOICE IN
MINERS TROUBLE.

,c,ion-Prcsident Mitchell Has No

.tors and Majority of Delegates

uazleton, Pa. May 14.-The conven-
An, Of the anthracite mine workers,
-.uad al the instance of the executive
,-oords of the three districts compris-
80 the Pennsylvania hard coal fields,
raId two sessions to-day and without
,ating any action on the question of
,,augurating a permanent strike adj
.ourned until tomorrow morning.
Tbe convention is meeting behind
,losed doors, and although nothing Of
scia1lv was given out, it is known that
the all important question was not
reached, the two sessions being devoted
entirely to the organization of the
meeting and the report of the Commit
a. on Credentials. The day brought
forth no definite information bearing
On the probable action of the oonven-
ron and the situation tonight remains
about the same as it has during the
past As hours.
President Mitchell said that all hope
of anv concessions from the operators
WAS gone. he has had no recent COM
munication, he said, with the mine
owners, Senator Hanna or any other
members of the National Civic FEEDER
alton. Mr. Mitchell admitted that he
had some advice to give to the dele
gates at the proper time, but what it
Is he will not say. In an interview
to-day he said that there was no doubt
that the sentiment of the men Is in
favor of a strike. but he refused to
make any reply when asked
if he would give advice
that would come in conflict
with their sentiments. 1t is
admitted that what President
Mitchell suggests will be done notwith-
standing the fact that a majority of
he delegates are in favor of a strike
If the mine owners do not make any
concessions. Therefore, it looks very
much as though the whole matter rests
on the words of the national president.
The advice that he will give to the
miners tomorrow is known to prob
ably only four other persons-the
three district presidents and National
Secretary and Treasurer w. B. Wilson,
who arrived here to-day.
Quiet reigned everywhere in the re-
gion to-day and not a pound of coal
was mined anywhere. A great crowd
of mine workers came into town from
the surrounding villages and coal
patches. They crowded around the
convention hall waiting for informal
ton from the inside. They were great
ly disappointed when the convention
adjourned this afternoon without TAX
ing definite action.

OBITUARY..
Capt. william n. Hayward.

The friends of Hon. William N. Hey
ward were shocked yesterday to re-
ceive the news of his sudden death
from apoplexy. He died at his resi-
dence at Hardeeville, s. c. The de-
ceased was of the highest type of
Southern gentlemen; he was a man
without fear. but gentle and courteous
to every one. He was a graduate of
the Citadel Academy, and had just be-
gun the practice of law when the war
between the states broke out. He en-
tered the army and after service in
his native state he was ordered to Vir-
ginia. At the battle of Gettysburg the
guns of his battery were among those
that joined in the famous artillery duel
on that bloody field. Throughout the
war he served as a brave and gallant
officer of the Confederate armies.
At it's close Capt. Hayward was in
the mercantile business in Savannah
as the cashier of the cotton house of
Kirksey & Scott. That firm going out
of business, Capt. Hayward became a
rice planter and for a number of years
planted the family plantation on New
river. Having disposed of that prop
erty he resumed the practice of law.
He was trial justice of Yemasseee
township and as such had the esteem
and commanded the respect of all
classes. Judge Heyward's Court" was
the place where matters were often de-
termined without further appeal to the
law. He was a vestryman of st. Ste
phen's Episcopal Church.
He leaves a wife, two sons and four
daughters and several brothers and sis
tiers, one of whom is Mrs. ]. H. Ly-
nah of this city.
Capt Hayward was So years of age
and for twenty years had been a
resident of Hardeeville, during a great
portion of this time in the active prac
tice of his profession. No man in the
entire community more absolutely
commanded the affection and respect
of its citizens, black as we'll as white.
His uniform courtesy. his unfailing
consideration for others, and his man
ly qualities of head and heart endear-
ed him to all with whom he was
thrown in contact.
The funeral services will take place
at ST. Stephens Church, in Hardee-
vile, this morning. The remains will
then be taken to Charleston and the
family lot in Magnolia Cemetery,
where the interment will take place.
