heroic daughters, and while the cause for which their fathers fought and died was lost, the memory of it is proudly cherished in the hearts of these same pa- triotic daughters. And though our hearts are made glad to know that the two sections of our country, once torn asunder by fratricidal strife, are now more solidly united together than ever before under one common flag, and while the swords of in- ternecine strife were long since beaten into plough-shares and the spears into pruning hooks, leaving us to hope that section shall not again lift up sword against section, nor learn war any more among themselves. yet it is fitting that we should pre- serve green the memory of the noble, valorous deeds of the Southern heroes that fell in de- fense of their country and whose bodies lie sleeping in hundreds of graveyards all over our South land.
 All honor, then, to the women of our Southern country that would thus cherish the memory of those fallen patriots, if they can do no more than to unite year after year and lay the wreaths of flowers upon the places made dear by enclosing the bodies of some of the might jest heroes the world ever knew, and in seeing that their graves shall not be forgotten.
 Sincerely,

AN UNSOLICITED BUT
 VERIFIED TRIBUTE.
Editor Independent:

writer to be present last Wednes- day at Walnut Grove cemetery and witness the decoration of the graves of the Confederate dead, conducted by the ladies of the U. D. C., Lucien Cause Chapter, as we'll as to take some part m those exercises. As such eXer- cises deserve more than a pass ing mention, and yousWere kind enough to take notice of them Tn your worthy paper, l desire the use of a small portion of your columns in which to pay a we'll deserved tribute to the patriot ism of our women. Before do- ing so, however, permit me to say that 1 sincerely regret that so few of the men of Newport honored the occasion with their
 
 presence, thus failing to accept the invitation so generously eX- tended them by the ladies, and in so doing withholding from the latter that encouragement m their laudabEe undertaking they should receive from the men. 1t is to be devoutly hoped, then, that on similar occasions in the future our men shall exhibit more thoughtfuI1ess of the feel ings and wishes of the n ladies than their neglect this time would seem to indicate.
 A TRIBUTE.
 From a purely patriotic stand point there Is manifestly nothing that is calculated to commend itself more readily to the adml- ration of thinking men than the unstinted loyalty and unsWerv- ing devotion of our southern Wo- men to the cause of our own be- loved Southland. It. ranks sec ond to nothing, save it be the loyalty and devotion of truly consecrated Christians to Jesus Christ and his cause.
 During the civil war between the states it was my privilege, though a mere lad, to bear some part in the service of my country on the tented field, and anon amid the rain of shot and shell in noless than seven hard fought, hotly contestly battles, and we'll do I remember that while the separation was painful, to be sure, how it was that southern mothers and wives, sisters and sweethearts not only parted read fly with their loved ones to fight the battles of their country, but as they bade them goodbye, and imprinted the kiss of affection upon their brave, manly cheeks, they encouraged them to be faithful even unto death to what they believed to be a righteous cause.
 And not only so, but after those boys and men had gone to the front and were barring their bosoms Go the inevitable conflict, those same devoted women did not remain idle in their homes, but on the contrary they turned their hand to whatever was needtul to alu m Ieeulng anu clothing the soldier boys, whether it was at the Weaver's loom in the home, or behind the hoe and the blow in the field,
 Onward, boys, was their slogan, and "victory for the right" was their watchword. And over and over again did they pause in the midst of their arduous labors in the home or the field and pen encouraging mes sages to the soldier boys far away, and perchance bedeWing them with the tears of undying affection that they could not re-

ENFORCING THE LAW II
MISSISSIPPI.

The world gives unlimited admira-
tion to brave man when his courage
and firmuess are discharged in devo-
tion to duty. The New York Times,
in an editorial expression regarding
the recent action of Judge Wilkinson
at Brookhaven, says:
THE whole South, with the North
as we'll, should tender it's respectful
and grateful appreciation to Judge
Wilkinson, of the Circuit Court. of
Lincon County, Miss for his firm.
ness in sentencing prisoners convicted
of murderous violence toward negroes.
And this appreciation is equally due
to the juries who convicted the Of
Tenders and to the Law and Order
League, which SO formed and ex-
pressed sound public opinion that
justice for the offenders became posi-.
BILE. The sentences are severe-one
for twenty years, several for
twenty, five for fifty, and one for
life imprisonment-but no one OF
them would be regarded as extreme

white. Nor should it be forgotten
that Governor Vardaman, sof Mississ.
ippi, who is capable, as our readers
know, of curiously reckless and fool
ish conduct where his political preju-
dioes are concerned, has taken right
stand as to the enforcement Of the
law and the preservation OF order.
Such demonstration of whole

GOOD MANNERS.

Don't make the mistake Of thinking
that brains are everything. You may
have the best set of brains in the town
but If you haven't the manners of
a gentleman nobody is going to appre-
oiate you.
There is no capital and equipment
any young man can have that will pay
him better than good manners. There
is no possible calling for which this
does not better fit him.
IT he has brains the. world owes him
something, but unless he has good
manners he will have hard time COL
lecting it.
Your manners are the outward indi.
cation of what you are within, in the
estimation Of most people, and If the
manner is disagreeable few will take
the trouble to examine you any fur
ther.
Maybe we are too apt to regard
manners as a thin veneer. The pleas.
ant smile, the spirit Of helpfulness,
the ready sacrifice are not of the ex-
terror alone.
Good manners for special occasions
are like religion for Sundays. It cam t
hang with your best clothes in the
closet all week without becoming stiff
and musty.
Unless it is free, natural and con-
slant expression of your real spirit it's
nothing but delusion and 1t deludes
nobody but yourself,
If good manners are not practiced
at home, but are allowed to lie by un-
til occasion calls upon you to assume
them they are sure to be bad fit.
You will be uneasy in them and look
uneasy.
Tt may be small tritie to acquire q
habit Of saying ''if you please and
''thsnks you, readily and spontaneous
ly, but it is no trifling defect in
young man to fail to do so.
If you do not jump up to open the
door and get chair for your sister
and mother, you will never be able to
do the thing for any other woman
with the nsturalness that g true grace.
And some day you may forget to do it
when the neglect will tell against you
in the estimation of thuse to please
whom you would gladly do much.
Oarlessness in dress and personal
appearance amounts to bad manners.
Lounging and untidy habits are anoth.
er form of bad manners. Profane and
unclean speech is still another form.
These defects never gained for you
the respect of single person and
never will. On the contrary, they
wear away your respect of self and de-
mean you in your own eyes. They
can be overcome only by constant
watchfullness, not by sporadic efforts
when you want to ''show off.

little or nothing to the uncultured.
But they are practical realities and go
far to produce an inward and oorre-
spending refinement Of mind and
spirit.
There are millions Of young men
who are longing to- acquire better
manners and to fit themselves for bet
ter associations. The desire is worthy
Of all encouragement. Only those
with real good in them can feel 1t.
A good manner is good capital in
any business. It attracts friends and
good capital in any business. It is q
wellspring Of wellwishes. 1t creates
about man All atmosphere in which

MAY SOLVE THE
POISON MYSTERY
POLICE LOOK FOR ARRESTS IN
STANFORD CASE
Claim That Persons Suspected of
Having Put Drug In Poland
Water Will Be In
Custody
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-It is
announced at police headquarters that
within the next forty-eight hours the
mystery surrounding the presence of
strychnine poison in the bottle Of Po-
land water with which Mrs. Stanford
quenched her thirst on the evening of
January IA at her California street
home, will have been completely solved
toward whom the strongest suspicion
is directed will be arrested. AS to
whether the poison was placed in the
bottle before the water was drunk by
Mrs. Stanford for the purpose of end
ing her life, or injected into the bottle
after she had drunk from it, with
malicious intent towards Miss Berner
the police refuse to say.
The report of the local detectives
just returned from Honolulu has been
filed with the acting chief Of police
and the captain Of detectives, giving
the result Of their Investigations into
the death of Mrs. Stanford at Honolulu.
This report shows that the detectives
made DIR. Humphris of Honolulu, who
was in charge Of the case, contradict
himself on points so material that the
detectives are unable to arrive at the
conclusion that murder was committed.
Briefly their findings are to the effect
that an overloaded stomach. weak
heart excited by overindulgence in
exercise attending the aged woman's
outing on the day of her death, and the
use of cascara with strychnine i'm
properly prepared, combined to bring
about her death.

Reforms Progress Too Slowly

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 22.-The
impatience at the delay in the realiza-
ton of all the projected reforms Is
having an exceedingly bad effect. The
endless work of the commissions Is
making little progress. 1t is announced
that the Kobeko Press commission will
not finish It's labors until fall, and that
Bouligan's Rescript commission has
not even organized, although it is an
nounced that something will be done
at the meeting of the committee Of
ministers on Friday.
The Liberals are acting in unison,
demanding that half the members Of
the commission shall be representa-
tives of the Zemstvos, Doumas and

mands are being supported by the adop-

GAINSBOROUGH PICTURE
SENSATION PROMISED
Pierpont Morgan's Celebrated Hlstor-
lcal Painting Believed to Be
Merely a Duplicate

BY Associated Press
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 22.-The
Journal today says: What is pro-
nounced by New York connoisseur to
be a genuine Gainsborough picture is
in possession of a Milwaukeean. If it
is an original the picture for which j..
Pierpont Morgan paid a fancy price
must be a duplicate.
"The old canvas has history. 1t is
a. portrait of King Louis XIV of
France, and may turn out to be a sec
ond duchess of Devonshire sensation.
Evidently it was painted about the
same period as the famous picture
bought by Mr.. Morgan. The artists
name was worn away by time and
stress. The canvas was bought by a
Milwaukeean thirty-three years ago at
a small price from an old French I'M
migrant.
According to the owners story, the
picture was cut from it's frame during
the French revolution and passed from
hand to hand through the Canadian
provinces"

RUSSIAN NAVY PROGRAM
Prospects of American Shipbuilders
Getting Orders Are Good


By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 23.-The
prospects of American ship-builders
having a large share in the rebuilding
and enlargement of the Russian navy
are growing briter.
An extensive naval presentment,
which in a few years will put Russia
on an equality with the first class sea
powers, has been practically completed,
but has not yet received the final assent
Of Emperor Nicholas. The policy OF
the admiralty will be to use the re-
building of the navy for the develop
ment of the building industry at
home, in order to render the country
independent of foreign construction in
the future.
At the same time 1t is realized that,
on account of the extent of the pro-
gram, 1t will be impossible to con-
struct all the ships in Russia without
entailing too much delay.
The admiralty is inclined to show
special consideration to the claims OF
French builders, but American propo-
sitions also are regarded with favor,
and when the orders are distributed
next to France, is likely to get the
largest share.

HUNGARIAN CRISIS
STILL CONTINUES
opposition Declares That Action Of
the Grown Makes Formation Of
Cabinet impossible

BY Associated Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary, March "a
Julius Andrassy. the former premier,
has failed to solve the ministerial crisis.
He had an audience with the emperor
today. at which he relinquished the
task of attempting to form new cab
inet.
At a meeting today Of the Opposition
kroup a resolution was adopted to the
erect that It was impossible to form a
cabinet from the ranks of the combined
Opposition, or even support such u
cabinet II formed, because of the at
titude Of the crown, which would only
approve ministry from whose pro-
gram the questions of Hungarian coll
ors and Hungarian words of command
in the army were eliminated.
The resolution also affirms that the
demand of the crown for the conclu-
sion of a financial agreement with the
Austrian government and an uncondi-
tiona1 ratification of the commercial
treaty with Germany could not be ac-
cepted, as 1t would prevent the realiza-
ton of the economic Independence of
the Hungarian government. The meet
ing, therefore, declared that the coali-
ton of the Opposition groups could not
support any cabinet constituted on such
a basis, and was resolved to maintain
unaltered the solidarity Of the coali-
ton during the present serious crisis,
and vote with Count julius Andrassy.
