Newce is called Nuce and Muse, Neuse

SIDNEY HERBERT'S LETTER

Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla, July
s.-This letter closes with description
OF the Medal Of Honor" recently given

institute Cadets Battalion, at the bat
Tie Of New Market. It is well to bear
IN mind that good old Gen. Francis
H. Smith, Of blessed memory, made
the Virginia Military Institute the real
west Point of the South, and forth
from its portals went such heroic Con-
federate generals as Rodes. Malone,

SAID that many have risen 70 high
places Of honor. Judge Charles j.

Der of the church thanked God that
their faces were Zionward, Rev. DR..
Curry replied But, my brethren, you
are going to hell backwards" The
peace movement seems to be going
ahead backwards, although it has
my prayers and sympathy.
1t seems that Savannah has a mod
est hero in the person of a V. M. l.
cadet, of Company b. in the famous
bloody battle of New Market, va. At
the recent commencement the Alumni
Association presented medals of honor
to the survivors of that heroic boy bat.
TALON, and this modest Savannah sur
vivor sends me an impress of the
medal, but not his name. The center
circle bears the coat of arms of Vir-
ginia; the upper wing the letters ~.
M. l." the left wing. Cadet" the
right wing. Battalion" the lower
wing, New Market, May Is, 1854
The medal is attached by chains ia
a cross bar, which bears the inscrfp-
ton: For Valor." On the back OF
the center circle Is engraved the name,
for example. "V. NJ. 1. TO Savannah"
The whole design is beautiful and ap.
propriate, and the medals well deserv-
ed by the survivors Of that memorable
conflict OF arms. The world had never
seen It's like. and may never again
witness such youthful patriotic valof
on any battlefield. The battalion won
a vote Of thanks from the Confederate
Congress and flag from the Governor
OF "the grand charge they made" Mrs
Cornelia Jordan says:
Boys in their youthful prime
Veterans In soul sublime.
Firm and undaunted.
Right thro' the leaden storm
Pressed every fair young form
Mantled with glory.
"High on the roll OF Fame
Live every glorious name
Thro' coming ages;
Let the bright record won
BY the proud duty done
Shine thro' all time upon
History's pages"

naval school there. AS the professor
was educated at the United States
Naval Academy he probably knows
that the Culver school is the next best
in the country. Savannah ought to
have a similar school at the Isle of
Hope.
The system of name tinkering that
has gone on for several centuries past
is responsible for the daily errors in
the newspaper items about prominent
men. 1t is Gen. Peter G. Hams, u
S. A., and not Haines, who is on the
Isthmain Canal Commission. There is
no Gen. Haines in the army, but there
was a Gen. G.. j. Rains, as well as a
Gen. James S. Raines in the G. S. A.
There should be a national law to reg
ulate the spelling of names, and then
we would have no Rhodes and Rodes
and Steuart and Stewart and McRea
and McRae. etc. - The Boston
Anti-Imperialists who howled so over
Philippine cruelties, seem to be sus-
piciously silent over Russian barbara
ties in the war with Japan. There is
no political buncombe in It, and that
may explain their silence. - Poor
old Dan Emmitt is not cold in his grave
before John w. Callahan OF Selma,
and r. p. McDavid OF Birmingham,
Ala, claim that Harry Mccarthy wrote
and composed Dixie" This shows
that 1.-THE fools are not all dead yet"
as IS often remarked. The death
Of Brig. Gen. David Hunter Kinzie,
U. S. A., (retired), removes lifelong
gallant soldier, one whose steady pro-
motion from a graduate OF West Point
QS6D, into the Artillery Corps, had
been won by faithful and efficient serv-
Ice. He also graduated at the Fortress
Monroe Artillery school in 1870. AL
though born in Illinois, the home Of
the distinguished Kinzie family, he
was appointed a cadet from Kansas.
His retirement was IN 1908, after forty
years Of active service.

MOTHER KILLS CRANDCH|lD
TO SAVE DAUGHTERS HONOR

1t was a sorrowful man who ar
rived this morning and announced
himself as d. r. Harris.
II want to see her." was all he said
in answer to the question inquiring
If he was the husband Of Jeanette
Harris.
1t was a sorrowful scene as hus-
band and wife beheld one another.
The eyes of the strong man filled
with tears and there was a huski-
ness in his voice as he spoke the
barely audible name Jennie
But the wife covered before him.
1t was almost too much for the
officers and only the jailer was left
on guard.
The Harris family live on 10-acre
plot of land 10 miles north Of
Yakima.
Four days ago the daughter, Pearl
Harris, gave birth to child. To
shield the daughter from the eyes
and tongues of the world, Mrs. Har-
ris. according to her story told the
police yesterday, then determined to
bring the child to this city and place
her in some home for foundlings. The
home refused to undertake the care
of so young an infant and the half
crazed woman then asked several
people to take the child. None
would do it, and then the woman
took the infant to a small slough in
the vicinity of Fifth avenue and Di-
vision street and there, all alone with
the cooling child, she tied cord
tightly about its neck and slowly
strangled out it's little life. Before
the spark of life had fled she threw
the child into the bushes and re-
turned to the Northern Pacific depot
and was about to take the train back
to Yakima when she was placed under
arrest, her actions causing the en-
demented
At the station she was asked what
she had done with the child she
brought to town with her and at first
she said it had been left with some
friends. However, she could not tell
menced to act in the manner of an
accused person. This led the officers
to suspect foul play and further
questioning was indulged in. Finally
the woman admitted the child had
been killed.
Il dropped him on a stone and he
died." she said.
On being questioned as to where
the body was she pointed of in the
direction of the hills south of the
city and said:
up in the hills"
She told very rambling story be-
fore she finally admitted killing the
child.
Then she was given over to the
charge of Detectives Briley and Lo-
gan and the three went to the North

to dash her brains out against the
strong. cold bars of the cell, tearing
her hair and all a-tremble, Mrs. Je-
anette Harris, driven insane by her
wayward daughter, sits in a cell at
the police station charged with the

ner do away with herself.
Immediately the matron had left
her this morning Mrs. Harris became
hysterical.
My God, my God!' she means all
day long. "Why did do it? My
God, give me back the child"
Before she could be stopped the
female monster dashed to the door
of the cell and, shaking the doors
with her frail hands given strength
by an insane mind, tried to dash her
brains out against the bars of the
cell.
That the woman is helplessly crazy

vince one that if she was not crazy
on Saturday when she strangled the
infant she is crazy enough now. Only
last night while conversing with Ma

When first brought in from the scene
of the revolving tragedy she persist
ed in asking the officer what it would
cost her to be set free. She didn't
seem to realize she was facing
charge of cold-blooded murder, and
such one as would haunt the most
hardened criminal to the grave.
AS she sits in her cell today every
once and while she starts from her
seat and goes to the shadowed por-
ton Of her cell and covers In fright
as though she saw the image of the
murdered child rising up and accus-

The case is one of the most pitt
full and at the same time the most
atrocious ever encountered by the To-
cal police. With an insane maternal
instinct Mrs. Harris committed mur-
der in an endeavor to shield the good
name Of her daughter. who Is 10
years of age.

Their tears poured forth and wet
one another's cheeks. It was a scene
to tear the heartstrings of strong
men-even the police officers, used
as they are to bloody scenes, scenes
of pity and affection, broke down.
Matron Jost wept with the husband
and wife and the woman's attorney
could not stand to see the couple so
grief-stricken.
In speaking of the affair Mr.. Har-

himself, said:
