them. l am a native of Georgia and

the sheriff and his officials give me
good attention.

as the professor has no chance to walk
and could not without crutches 81 was
vaccinated in 1898 and before that" and
two large scars on the left arm were
shown as evidence of this. Judge T. A.
Jones, who prosecuted me, said my re-
fusal to be vaccinated was either due
to ignorance or stubbornness. I must ac-
quit my parents OF Ignorance as I was
twice vaccnated, and as far as my own
ignorance is concerned, / can quote
Jenner in the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
which Judge Jones quoted. Jenner says
that the death rate was 1875 before vac

II am teacher of English and German

is pretty hard to be locked up on such
a grammatical mistake in the regulations
as any person whom has not been vac

did, on the wall. This is the fourth day"
There were two TALES on the wall-one

the next cell who sings. My first arrest
in January was a false one There were
not even any regulations under which
to arrest me and I was discharged"
The officers stated that the women
prisoners We're confined only in the corri
doris and for this reason only was the cell
door locked. The smallpox patient" the
professor referred to as having visited
him was a man who had once had small
pox.

OUR TOUGH WARDS RESTLESS.
Anger in Jolo Because of ths Arrest of Three
Prominent Moros,


Manila, March 21.-There is a feeling
of unrest in Jolo on account of the ar
rest and conviction of three prominent
Moros, who raided and burned the Chi
nese district of Perang AS a precau-
tionary measure General Sumner, COM
handing the Department of Mindanao,
has strengthened the Jolo garrison and
is preparing to send additional troops
there. In the event of an emergency
the United States naval vessels in South
ern waters will be asked to cooperate
with the troops in a demonstration de-
signed to convince the Moros of the folly
of an overt act.
General Sumner is going to Jolo in
the hope of allaying the disturbances and
convincing the Moros Of the business of
the American policy and the folly of
armed resistance.
The raid on Perang was wanton.
Thirteen Chinese houses We're burned.
The three ringleaders are friends of tho
Sultan of Jolo, and the people protested
against their removal from Jolo, but the
sentence will be enforced. The prisona"s
are now on their way to Bililibid prison
Manila One of the prisoners led a raid
in Mindanao during the year 1902. He
captured eleven natives and presented
to arrest him until he was taken into
custody for participation in the Perang
raid.

IN This period has been more than bill
lion and a half
I'VE grow in the United States three
fourths OF the cotton Of the world. We
convert fourth of the cotton OF the
world upon American spindles. We ex-
port of manufactured cotton in round
numbers, thirty millions of dollars worth
per annum. Assuming as much fibre in
the forty millions imported as in thirty
millions exported, the American people
consume, actually wear out, ne-fourth of
the cotton fibre of the world. / doubt
that we appreciate the astonishing fact
that five per cent of the people of the
world consume 2 per cent of the cotton
fibre OF the world. The reason for it is
the marvellous prosperity of the American
people We have ceased to darn or
mend and often burn to save laundry
bills.
Nor is this ,-e only astonishing fea-
ture of the cotton industry. The world
exports OF manufactured cotton six hun
dred and twenty-five million dollars per
annum, of which the United States gets
only five per cent. In other words the
American market for manufactured cot
ton is worth fully 20 per cent of the mar
ket Of the world for the same class Of
goods This we retain. Other countries
buy raw cotton, manufacture it and be-
cause of their cheaper labor, are able
to secure ninety-five per cent of the ex-
port trade on manufactured cotton. Cot
ton mills have increased in this country
in the fourteen years marvellously but
they have only kept pace with the con
sumptive character of our own people
''If we shall ever increase our trade
with the countries lying 20 the south of
us or with those washed by the Pacific
Ocean. the Gulf States will be benefited
thereby certainly as much as any por
ton of our common country If steam
ship communication with those countries
shall ever be established shipyards are
as likely to be built on the gulf as on
the Atlantic coast, and their supply and
coaling stations are more likely to be
here than elsewhere.
"If additional cotton factories are
built, they are likely to be erected where
fuel, lumber, iron and labor are album |
lant, and where the raw material is pro- J
iuced at their very DOORS

mo, sir"
Mrs. Burdick said she did not know
whether her husband was aware of the
fact that she was receiving letters from
Pennel. Her habit had been to keep her
letters locked in a box. Her husband
first knew Of her intimacy with Pen
nell, she thought, on January t. 1901
when she told him in reply to question
that she had been walking with Pencil
He told her she was very imprudent.
She agreed with him then and did now.

box and give them to him."
II unlocked it,
How did you happen to unlock it,"

How did he force your"
He took me by the throat"
She did not remember whether at that
time Pencil was the subject of a discus
sion with her husband. She did not know
whether some Of the letters real were
in the box at that time. 1t was in
January, 1901, when he choked her. She
could not remember when she rented q
box in a afe-deposit company's vault.
It was not about the time her husband
had choked her, but recently when she
received papers from detectives about
Burdick
Her husband had not started the di-
yorce proceedings. 1t was she that want
ed divorce from him. She had no love
for him, but did love Pennell whom she
expected to marry He had a wife but
he expected they would be divorced
In reply to a question as to whether
Mrs. Pennell had consented to a divorce
she said:
Some times she did and some times
she did not"
Witness admitted, however, that sne
had never talked with Mrs. Pennell Oil
the subject. Pennell had hired the detec-
tives who Swallowed her husband. Her
husband sent her away in May, 1901, on
account of Pennell
Mr. Coatsworth showed her q letter
written by her from Atlantic City. May
81 1901 in which she begged to be taken
back, promising never to see Arthur
and that she would be loving and true
wife In the letter she said she could
rot promise that Pennell would leave
town, but declared he would do what
she said She admitted writing the let
ter and said at that time she had hired
no detectives.
second letter written by Mrs. Bcr-
dick 90 her husband the same year was
read in which she spoke of having re
ceived Burdick's letter and said that Pen
nell had not promised to leave town il
Mr.. Burdick took her back; that she and
Pennell had realized that they must give
up each other, but that Pennell declined
to do anything that would mean a loss
of his self-respect.
Another letter written by Mrs. Burdick
to her husband referred to her being
taken back home. She promised never
again to voluntarily see of communicate
with Arthur" She made a plea on be-
half of the children. She promised to
be good girl to him. Mrs. Burdick
admitted she wrote the letter in good
faith and that she did not keep her
promise Another letter was read in re-
ply to one from Mr.. Burdick in which
he had evidently declined to take her
