The Associated Press,speaking of the
incident, says:
"The President to-day shook hands
and talked with Sergt. E. Hawkins Of
the United States army, the finest
marksman in the United States. Haw-
kins is quartermaster sergeant in
Company K, oath Infantry, stationed at
Fort Missoula, and he won the Sea Girt
medal for the best individual marks
manship. He won the medal last year.
Hawkins is colored man, and was
one of those who participated in the
memorable charge up San Juan Hill
five years ago. He and the President
recalled some of the incidents of that
day."
Sergt. Hawkins has a, record that
reads like romance. He was born
about 81 years ago at Canton, Lewis
county, Mo-, of slave parents Before
joining the army in 1887 his occupa-
tion was tb a teamster and black

could be obtained in the public schools
of his native State, and like many a
young patriotic Afro-American, when
the Government called for oops, he
made his way for st. Louis, Mo-, where
he enlisted He is a very modest man,
not given to talk, but when questioned
as to how he began shooting, replied,
II had no particular reason for becom-
ing a celebrated shot, but 1 made up
my mind TO do something in the world
a little better than any body else" He
was not in this company very long be-
fore he was promoted from one posi-
ton to another until he became the
quartermaster sergeant, which place he
has held for many years.
He enlisted first in the 10th Cavalry,
where he served with troop 'I' for
five years and then re-enlisted in the
the oath Infantry, where he still

the best rifle shots in America he won

the War Department, and which was
won last year by Sergt. Hawkins. His
record exceeds that Of any American

in this city, and called on President

of considerable length, and who remem-

BAD TRIP
Had passenger Train Coins Toward

Passenger train No. due here at
$40 last night had a terrible time in
making trip from Parkersburg to
Grafton. Three engines took bitches
at the train before it was pulled into
Grafton. The first trouble occurred
at Pennsboro when the first engine
could not make steam enough. An
other engine was attached and all
went well till they struck Salem when
the fiues got to leaking so badly that
another engine was sent from Grafton
to pull the train into the place. The
train passed here about midnight, be-
ing over two hours late.

THIS is the day of new resolutions.
We will all make them. So often has
this been done only to break them
that it seems useless to suggest that
we again make resolves. The inten.
tlun, however, is good thing OF itself
even If our weakness exceeds our de-
termination. Should we make resolu-
tions again today may they be good
ones, resolves which will be beneficial
both to ourselves and those around us.
May we upon this occasion make an
exception to the rule and faithfully
keep all our good resolutions even to
the beginning of another year. BY
doing this we will learn to know our
selves and learn what we are capable
OF. A year thus spent will be strength
for US to advance next year. The
resolutions we make can be OF various
kinds. Moral, religious and Industrial
are among those which will make us
better citizens and more useful 10
ourselves and the community. These
are only some of the general resolu-
tions which may be made and which
have general results. There are others
which more especially affect the line
of business. in which we are engaged.
Advancement depends upon the char
acter of the resolves we make along
these lines. They must be such as are
especially adapted to particular lines
OF business. Only those who are IA
miliar with their various lines OF work
know best what resolutions will be Of
greatest advantage to that business.
They are in position to decide upon
what resolutions they make and how
well to keep them. The only thing
that can be said here is the suggestion
that they be made and kept SO far as
is in ones power.

The death OF NJ. NJ. Thompson and
his wife within two days of one
another has thrown the city into
deepest gloom. They had large cir
Gle of warm friends and were popular
with all who knew them. The scene
at their late home is one of desolation,
with both father and mother removed.
Distressing, indeed, is 1t to their dear
ones to behold them side by side still
in death. They were devoted couple,
loving parents and kind neighbors.
Useful members of society they will
be missed. Mr.. Thompson did his
native city valuable service as public
of1cer and citizen. He was a brilliant
lawyer aud many owe their liberty to
his labors as a criminal lawyer. None
of his age was more successful as such.
He applied his talents for the good of
the profession and the upbuilding Of
the city. He was ever Jealous In pro-
noting industrial and commercial de-
yelopment and he reJoiced to see steps
of progress taken. He was Of gentle
disposition and yet brave of heart. He
possessed the tenderness of woman
and yet he was brave, courageous in
his convictions and fearless in the ap.
plIcation of them. AS father there
was none more loving, and as husband
there was none more devoted. There

The play is not new to elarksburg

impression when last presented here,
because Of its being built on the lines
OF the older class of drama, in which

clever comedy work is contributed by

PROBABLY KNAPP'S WIFE.
But Identification of Woman Found in
River is INCOMPLETE,

NEW ALBANY, Ind. March 3.-Although
Edward F. King today failed positively TO
identify the body Of the woman found in
the river here as a wife of Alfred Knapp,
the impression is strong that the body is
that of Knapp's victim. The matter OF
Identification is extremely difficult, owing
to its having been so long in the water.
1t is believed, however the body is that
of Hannah Goddard Knapp. and that it was
put in rough box and thrown into the
Miami river at Hamilton, Ohio, December
%, doated on out of the Miami and into
the Ohio and down past Louisville, where
1t rose to the surface and was discovered.
The Identification of the body. was made
almost certain last night by minute de-
scription telegraphed by the authorities of
Hamilton. In her ears were found gold
wire earrings and on the third finger of the
left hand was an embossed ring with three
little birds and an owl. In every particular
the body was found to tally with the minute
description of his wife given by Knapp in
his confession.
After being removed to an undertaking
establishment the body was embalmed

floating in the Ohio late yesterday after
noon as that of Hannah Goddard Knapp.
wife Of Alfred Knapp, now under arrest in
Hamilton. The statement was made that
the jewelry found on the person was the
same known to have been worn by the
young woman before she became the wife
of Knapp and that there is not the slight
est doubt of her identity. The remains will
be sent to Hamilton this afternoon.
