NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Robert NJ Moore
one of the lawyers defending Albert Pat
rick on trial for the murder of William
NJ Rice, finished today his crosse xamina-
ton of Charles F. Jones. the principal
witness for the prosecution.
The one thing clearly indicated today
was that the defence will be in part that
Rice was not murdered at all, notwith-
standing Jones' confession that he killed
him with chloroform at the instigation of
Patrick. In his direct examination Jones
said: Mr.. Rice was asleep when l went
TO dinner. He was still sleeping when /
came back and put the chloroform over
his face"
Was in Same Position.
WAS he still lying in the same position
when you got back from dinner?" asked
Mr.. Moore today.
Yes" said Jones.
Was he alive or dead when you got
back"
He was apparently asleep"
Are you sure that he was alive when
you put the chloroform on his face?"
No; l am not sure
The defence will try to show later on
by testimony of medical experts that
sir. Rice died a natural death.
Discrepancies Shown.
Mr.. Moore spent the greater part of
the day in showing the discrepancies be-
tween Jones last confession. the one he
T ade before a jury week ago today. and
his previous statements in which he had
declared that Patrick chloroformed Rice.
The witness saved himself trouble by -ad-
hitting that his previous statements were
all lies.
Are you talking today to get yourself
out OF Jroubie?" asked Mr.. Moore
Yes if the truth will get me out OF
trouble. l am sticking to that"
A Sharp Rebuke.
Recorder Golf sharply reprimanded the
assistant district attorney at the morn
ing session and told him he had a vicious
habit Of talking too much after the court
had ruled on a point. The assistant dis
trict attorney left the court room few
minutes later and did not return until
late in the afternoon.

THE HOME CIRCLE
The Sword of Robert Lee.*

Forth from its scabbard, pure and
bright,
Flashed the sword of Lee!
Far in the front of the deadly fight,
High DER the brave in the cause of
Right,
Its stainless sheen, like a beacon
light,
Led us to victory.
Forth from its scabbard, high in air
Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who saw it cleaning there
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear
That where that sword led they
would dare
To follow-and to die.
Out of it's scabbard! Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led drawer band,
Nor Drawer bled for a brighter land,
Nor brighter land had a cause so
grand,
Nor cause a chief like Lee!
Forth from its scabbard! How we
prayed
That sword might victor be;
And when our triumph was delayed,
And many a heart grew sore afraid,
We still hoped on while cleaned the
blade
Of noble Robert Lee.
Forth from its scabbard all in vain
Bright flashed the sword of Lee;
IT'S shrouded now in its sheath
again,
1t sleeps the sleep of our noble slain,
Defeated, yet without a stain,
Proudly and peacefully.

ly place as represented. "But by my
faith, tits vastly too crowded, 1 pro-
test the colony hath no palace for a
rout worth the name" So speaks
fair Mistress Esther, and SO thinks
the Great Gray Wolf of Carolina, as
Tryon is called by the Indians. So
the patient Carolinians are appealed
to, and an appropriation is made for
a "ftte abode for His Excellency."
But the Governors ladies had ideas
grander than simple folks dreamed
of, and the plans for the palace grew
by leaps and bounds, till by the time
the stately brick edifce was finished,
eighty thousand dollars had been ex-
torted from a people clad in home
spun, and funds had been diverted
from the State Golfers where they
were sadly needed, that the palace
might be provided with marble man
ties and cornices.
But in 1771, to the relief of the
overburdened people, the Great Gray
Wolf accompanied by his lady and
the belle of Carolina left for New
York, where he showed his fangs no
less plainly than in the South. The
palace is in ruins now, and only
Wake County attests by its name, the
brief and brilliant sovereignty of
Esther Wake.
But if ladies could do much to
harass a tired people into rebellion,
other a~ristocratic ladies showed that
they could aid in turning that rebel
lion into revolution.
From New Bern we go to Edenton.

IF General Skinner could be inform
ed and reinforce the patriots with
his militia, that section of the coun-
try would be saved; but the old fish
ermen shook their heads; the thing
could not be done. Men said it could
not be done. Betsy's lips frightened.
She left the room and sought the
marsh where the ponies herded. Her
own pet, Black Bess, came at her call.
The resollte girl saddled her with
a blanket, sprang on her back and
the lonely night ride was begun.
Down the beach she dashed, over the
ford at Currituck Sound, around by
the Narrows (now Elizabeth City,
with only the stars to keep watch and
the waves to whisper courage. Many
a time her heart must have sunk at

band repelling the enemy at Moore's
Greek, mounted her horse and rode
sixty long miles to the battle field.

SOME NOTABLE WOMEN OF COLO
NAL CAROLINA.

Baker Saunders, of the 1900 Class 81
the State Normal and Industrial Col
lege.
The following paper was awarded
the prize of $500 offered by the
Alumnae Association of the North
Carolina State Normal and Indus,
trial College for the best essay sub
mitted by one of it's members in
1902:
1t will not hurt modern women to
turn and look back at the history of
the States womanhood. Twill be no
history of Sodom or Gomorrah that
their backward gaze rests upon, but
the annals of a State who, though
she has climbed slowly, testing care
fully every foothold before she trust
ed her weight to it, has yet bred sons
and daughters whose prompt and pa
triotic decisions have caused her
name to stand foremost in Liber-
tvs story"
But variability is ever a feminine
characteristic, and we will herein
display not our OWL variability, but
that of the States fair, by portray
ing high and low, Tory and Patriot.
Little is known of North Carroll
mas first distinguished woman, for
surely that title is merited by pretty,
pale Eleanor Dare, who upheld by
woman's courage, and led by woman's
love, followed her husband to a wild,
new land, and there gave birth to a
child whose name and fate were to
be embodied in the legends of the
State.
Can we not picture the gently nur-
tured woman struggling against
hardships, the like of which she had
never imagined? Or standing on
the shore with baby Virginia, watch
ing for the ship that came too late?
But imagination can go no further.
The fate of North Cardinals first
mother is too enshrouded in mystery
to be pierced.
For almost two hundred years af-
ter, woman's share in the history of
the State was a silent one. They fig
ure only as the wives of men. Almost
two hundred years-then there is the
tap of the high-heeled shoes, a scent
of sandal-wood, and Esther Wake
takes the stage, radiant, in cherry
ribbons and coquettish patches,
with a glance for one, and a glance
for some" of the troop of gallants
who attend her. She accompanies
her sister, Lady Tryon, His Excel
lency's wife, but it is the fair Esther
who is the toast of the colony, and
for whose white hand the provincial
m~acaronies sigh. Polite society
walked up during Tryon's administra-
ton, and lace lappets, and clicked
stockings were imported into the
Colony in greater profusion than
ever before. Routs and balls were
frequent, and dandies focked to the
Governors mansion. For "Zounds !
