BERLIN, Ian. THAT portion of the
Joint reply of the powers to Venezuela
suggesting a settlement without arbitra-

each power. This reservation remains as
the fixed and only condition precedent to
arbitration or negotiation direct for

A Peculiar Murder Case.

Among the cases heard by the Su-
preme Court at its session in Knox
vile last week, was the murder case
of the State vs.. Clarence Peake of
Anderson county. Peake is a boy
of Is years of age who is under SEN
tence of seventeen years for the MUIR
der of Silas Hulin at Clinton. The
killing was the result of a saloon
fight and Hulin was supposed to
have been followed out of the saloon
by Peake and killed. When the case
was tried at last years session of the
Supreme Court, imagine the sur
prise of every one connected with
the case when Silas Hulin, the sup
posed murdered man, showed up
alive and well. Without disposing
of the case the court passed it over
to the present term. That Hulin is
alive can be proven by any number
of witnesses and the fact can also be
proven that Peake killed a man at
Clinton, but who he was, no one
knows. What the court will do is
problematical, but it is possible that
it will order Peake indicted for the
murder of the unknown. At the
time of his first trial before the Su-
preme Court Peake was insane. He
was confined in an asylum for some
months afterward, but has recently
been at the home of his father in
Anderson county.

WILL RETIRE ON LAURELS
Miss Bessie Anthony Wins Woman's
National Golf Championship.
She Will Not Defend Her Title
Next Year, as She Will Be
Married November 3.

Wheaton, H., Oct 4-The woman's
national golf championship belongs to
Miss Bessie Anthony, of the Glenview
club, Chicago. She made a runaway
match of her game with Miss j. Anna
Carpenter, of Westward Ho, in the
finals for the championship over the
Wheaton course Saturday, taking the
lead at the fourth hole and steadily in
creasing it until the end came at the
twelfth hole, Miss Anthony winning
seven up and six to play. Considering
the weather conditions, a 30-mile gale
sweeping over the course during the
entire play, Miss Anthonv's game was
remarkable. Only twice was she in
trouble, getting into the bunker guard
ing the first hole on long brassy shot,
and driving out of bounds on the sew
enth. Miss Carpenter, on the con-
trary, played in woefully bad form.
Seven bunkered shots and two shots
driven into the wide pond guarding
the ninth and tenth holes tell the story
of her defeat.
This is probably the last golf tour
nament Miss Anthony will ever figure
in. She will be married, November 8,
to Mr.. B. S. Horne, Of Pittsburg, and
stated to friends that she did not ex-
pect either to defend her titles of west
ern or national champion next year.

CHICAGO CENTENNIAL ENDS.
Winds Up Celebration in a Blaze of
Fireworks Before the Largest
Crowd Since Worlds Fair.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Chicago's centen-
NAL celebration closed Saturday night
in a blaze of fireworks, which illumi-
nted the largest crowd ever assembled
on the lake front. Estimates of the
number which witnessed the greatest
fireworks display seen here since the
Worlds fair ranged from 100000 to
125,000 persons. Out in the lake scores
of craft cruised about, their size vary
ing from the small rowboat and the
diminutive yachts to the big excursion
steamers, which were packed to the
guards.
The exhibition began when red and
white fires burst out along the govern
ment pier for a distance of several
blocks. A discharge of bombs and sky
rockets followed Immediately, the
bombs exploding in midair and scatter
ing red, white and blue stars in the
thousands. This brilliant lombard
ment was kept up for an hour and a
quarter, while at intervals set pieces
were fired and oddities introduced.
Fort Dearborn at one time appeared in
fiery outline; at another time Chicago
was symbolized as a phoenix rising
from it's ashes; the statue of Liberty
stood forth; balloon rose and from it
broke out the American flag.
