WILLIE STICKS TO PANTS.

Young Woman Masquersding as a
Man, Gets Good Fiossing.
Details come from Bonneville, Miss,
of the manner in which the sex was
revealed of Miss Willie Ray, a young
woman who masqueraded in that com
munity for eight years as man with.
out being suspected even by the most
intimate neighbors, and a very. breezy
little sensation is attached tC the
story. ...- -, .... 80 .-.,.=
A young farmer named Gatlin was
arrested and placed on trial for COM
.litting an assault and battery on WIZ:
lie Ray, and in defense he claimed
that the whipping was administered
because Ray was toe Intimate with his
wife. The supposed Lotharia, with
blackened eyes and skinned head, was
then placed on the stand and created
a profound surprise by declaring that
she was a woman and not a man, as
had been believed in the community
for eight years or more. Gatlin was
bound over to the circuit court undar
a bond of $3.50, which he was unable
to give, and was sent to jail.
Willie Ray still walks about the
streets of Bonneville wearing her tror'
sers. The authorities attempted to
force her to don female attire, but
upon investigation found that there is
no state law forbidding a woman from
masquerading in male attire, or vice
versa, and Willie will stick to her
pants, despite the fact that they caus'
ed her to get a good flogging.

Has Attack of Typhoid Fever.
At Gainesville, Ca, Monday morn
ing, the case of the state VS.. Mrs. Onie
Tanner, charged with poisoning her
husband on May %, was called in
Hall superior court by Judge Kimsey.
The state announced ready, but the
defense swore two physicians, who tes-
titled that Mrs. Tanner was suffering
from an attack of typhoid fever in the
Hall county Jail, and was unable to at
tend trial.
After hearing from the attorneys in
the case, Judge Kimsey passed an or
der allowing her bail on the grounds
of the sworn statement Of her physl-
clan, fixing same at $4,000. He also
ordered a special term of Hall superior
court to be held ON September o., stat
ing that the case against Mrs. Tanner
would be called on the 23rd Of that
month, there being some other crimi-
nal cases also to be heard at that time.
After passing the order, Mrs. Tan
ner soon made the necessary bail, the
bond being signed by several promi-
nent citizens Mrs. Tanner will be
moved to her fathers home, near
Mauldin Mills, as soon as she is able
to make the trip.

A special from Lexington, KY, says:
General Cassius Marcellus Clay, am
bassador to Russia under President
Lincoln, noted abolitionist and author,
died at his home, Whitehall, in Madi-
son county, Wednesday night. Death
was due to general exhaustion.
General Clay was born October ~,
1910, in Madison county. He led =
stirring life, which began to tell on
him In late years. He believed con-
spiracy to assassinate him had been
formed and some years ago fortlneo
his home, Whitehall, and entered a
life of seclusion that ended only a
few weeks ago., when the courts ap,
pointed a committee to take charge OF
him and his effects.
His children were oil at his bedside.
Some of them have not been in their
fathers house or seen him in years
because of his peculiar hallucination
that they were in a vendetta sworn
to kill him.
Clay was one Of the most pictur'
esuue figures in American politics IN
the sixties. His home at whitehall

General Clay fought several duels
when he was in active politics and his
abolition sentiments drew him into
several boody fights in Kentucky. q
Several years ago Clay created g
great sensation by marrying 16-year

ignorant, but Clay said he would aedu'

fell in love with young fellow

CRUSH IN ST. PETERS.
Horrible Impression Made on the
Thousands Viewing Remains OF
Popc-Pontiff's Will Opened.

From sunrise until sunset Thurs
day thousands passed before the body
of Leo XIII lying in state in the BASIL
lea of St. Peters in Rome.
The impressive ceremonies OF Wed
nesday were viewed by only favored
few of the nobility, aristocrats and
the highest clergy, but Thursday the
doors were opened to the entire pub
lie. Many remained on the plaza all
through the hot night to gain early
admission to view the pontiff's re-
mains.
Elaborate preparations had been
made to guard against accident from
the crush. The streets were cleared
of vehicles, leaving them free for foot
passengers, while six ambulance sta
tons had been erected, including one
at the entrance to the plaza and an
other beside the door of st. Peters.
The prevailing impression Of those
who passed before the iron gates OF
the Chapel Of the Sacrament to vie"
the remains was one of intense pity
combined with certain sense Of hor'
ror. The body was tilted up on the
catafalque in order that all might see
the terribly shrunken face. An or
dinary skull In a frame of gold, lying
in a mass of red roses, could scarcely
have been more typical of death
Except at sunrise, when the crush
threatened a panic, all those who
wished 1t had al opportunity OF enter
ing st. Peters. During the day many
Of those who passed in stopped be-
fore the catafalque to say a hurried
prayer. Hundreds of the women and
even some of the men carried chill
dren in their arms.
An important political factor was
introduced into the ceremony by the
entrance into st. Peters of Italian sol
diers, who remained there throughout
the day to preserve order.
The will Of the dead pope was open
at Thursday'f meeting of the congre
CATION of cardinals. 1t consists OF
,hirty-six pages, in the handwriting OF
Leo NH, and leaves all the property
of which he died possessed to his

JAPS ARE RESTLESS
Conclusions With Russia May
Soon be Under Way.
PREPARING FOR CONFLICT
Russia Is Also Alert, Ready and De.
fiant, Which Fact Alarms Japan.
Note of impending War
is Heard.

The London Daily Mails Toxic cor
respondent sends rather an alarming
view of the situation in the east to his
paper. He says that Russia's reten'
tisn Of Manchuria, the increase OF ner
aeet, the dispatch of reinforcements
to Manchuria, the southwark move
ment Of the occupying army in Man
churia and the defiant conduct OF the
Korean frontier alarmed the Japan
ese. many of whom are convinced
that 1t would be better to fight now
than risk the eventual loss Of Korea
and the relegation of Japan to Sec
ondary place.
He says that the Japanese are accu'
mulating stores and negotiating for
tie purchase Of ships; that a squad
ron is off Vladivostock, to which port
Russian vessels have been sent as
precaution and that both fleets are
ready for action at any moment. He
says that a perusal Of the Siberian
press reveals tie aggressive spirit OF
the Russian military party; that the
Russians believe they will lose pres
tige if they give way now, with the re-
suit that their far eastern empire will
be lost and Japanese influence Will
become predominant.
The appointment Of Marquis ito as
president of the privy council, the cor
respondent says, is favorable to peace,
but that Russia must retreat or there
will be very grave danger of war. He
says the japanese believe that France
and England will join in the expected
conflict, which diplomatists at Toxic
thin knight, il once begun, continue
for years, involving disastrous results
to Japanese finance, and the creation
of sort of Balkan difficulty In Korea.
He adds that confidence Is shown IL
the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
The. London Standards Tien-tsin
correspondent says that since the l5tn
of this month there mas been an in
crease in the concentration OF Rus
sian forces at Port Arthur and else
where, many who were ostensibly emil
grants being in reality soldiers. He

draw or moderate her policy,

that he will deduct the amount from

government by the lumber company.
He instructed the company again to
erect poles and Korea ordered their

proceedings are exciting indignation
In Japan.
