VERDICT IN THE
MERIWETHER CASE
Confinement Within Limits of Acad-
envy and Reprimand by Secre-
tary of Navy.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Midshipman
Minor Meriwether, Jr., who was tried
by court-martial for causing the death
of Midshipman Branch, has been SEN
fenced to confinement to the limits Of
the naval academy for a period of one
year and to be publicly reprimanded
by the secretary of the navy. Secre-
tary BOnaparte has ordered that the

much Of the penalty as would debar
the accused from serving ON any prac-
tice ship attached to the academy be
RENTED.
Midshipman Meriwether was ac-
quilted of the charge of manslaughter
and found guilty of the other two
charges, namely violation of the third
clause Of the eighth article for the
government of the navy, which pro-
hibits midshipmen from engaging in
fisticuffs and conduct to the prejudice
Of good order and discipline.

Bears One Crop and Dies.

The sage palm tree bears but one
crop of fruit. It's load Of nuts is it's
first and final effort in the way of fruit
bearing The nuts become ripe and
are strewn in thousands around the
tree until the great stem stands up by
itself, empty and bare. The branches
turn brown and drop one by one to the
ground Inside the trunk the work Of
decay is going on until what at one
time was a mass Of white sage and
pith becomes nothing but collection
of rottep brown fibers. One day the
trade wind blows more strongly than
usual, and the leafess column of the
trunk falls with a crash, destroying in
it's fall many of the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before.

1t has often been a puzzle to stu
dents of Shakespeare why his name is
spelled in so many different ways.
Shakespeare himself is said to have
signed his name on different occasions
shakespeare and Shakespeare" and
learned disquisitions have been writ
ten to prove which is the proper spell
ing. None perhaps was more amusing
than the. weather reason given in
1851 by Albert Smith, who averred
that he had found it in the HarIeian
manuscripts. 1t was as follows:
How dyd Shakespeare spell hys name?
We weatherre maybe we change, we sage,
So write it as We please.

When wette he took hys E'es.

heavy pull at his cigarette, inhales
the smoke, takes up wine skin or bot
tie, pours half a pint down his throat,
holding the vessel a foot from his

then with a sigh Of satisfaction closes
his eyes and eXhales the smoke from
his nose and mouth in clouds. He will
also inhale the smoke, converse for a
few minutes in natural manner, and
then blow out the smoke.

April, 1860, and finally settled in
Portland, where he went into politics
and in 1873 was elected to the United
States senate.
He was defeated in 1879, elected in
1885, defeated in 1897, and elected in
1901. His wife is in Paris, France,
where she spends much Of her time
since the marriage of their daughter
to the Duke de Rochefoucauld. One

fraud and sentence to the penitentiary
is recent history. An appeal against
his sentence was pending in the Unit
ed States supreme court, but his death
will close the case.
Washington, Dec 11.-Vice President
Fairbanks has announced that it is his
understanding that friends of the late
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, will not
request that a committee of senators
be appointed tOattend the funeral serv-
ices, and therefore he will not name
one. No request for resolutions OF re-
spect is probable, either. This will be
the first instance in the history of the
senate where the customary ceremony
in honor to the memory OF a deceased
member has not been held.

Never Falters as She Marches to the
Scene of Her Death.

Never FaIters as She Marches to the
Scene of Her Death.
At LOG the death march was begun.
Down three flights Of stairs from Mrs.
Rogers cell in the central section of
the prison the procession wended it's
way. Through the great guard room
and into the west wing where the gal
lows had been erected, down another
flight of steps, across a short space Of
brick floor and the foot of the scat
fold was reached. Holding her head
high Mrs. Rogers never faltered for
an instant as her eyes rested on the
scaffold. Unaided she mounted the
steps, walked on to the trap and then
seated herself in chair.
A moment later she arose, having
declined an offer by the authorities to
make statement Just as the depu-
ties approached to bind her limbs she
removed her eyeglasses, and passing
them to one of the deputies said:
These are for my sister. Please see
that she gets Them A moment later
the straps and moose were arranged.
and the trap was sprung.
The crime for which this woman died
was as heartless, cold blooded, cruel,
as Nero could have planned. She and
her husband had separated She sent
a noteto her husband in Hoosick Falls.
requesting him to come and see her.
Seemingly, despite differences and sep
aration, the love of Marcus for Mary
had not vanished He needed her re-
quest. They walked to the banks of a
stream, the woman reconciling, the
man acquiescent They sat by the side
Of the brook Then came Leon Per-
ham on the scene, Is years old. Rogers
knew him as a half-witted boy
Mrs. Rogers laughingly wagered
that young Perham could not tie her
hands with a rope SO she could not re-
lease them. Of course he had the nee
essary rope on hand. Marcus Rogers
thought we'll Of the performance 1t
would be SO funny to see Mary tied I'D
and trying to get loose. But Mary got
loose-and easily. Then it was Marcus
turn to be tied. Tie him tight said
Leon. Marcus lay there, helpless, half
realizing the duplicity of which he was
the victim, but he said: Nary Mary
put her arms around his neck and
kissed him rapturous1y and said: II
knew you couldn't get away, Mark
Then Mary chloroformed Mark from
bottle she had ready in her waist,
and when he could no longer struggle
they threw him into the stream with
his hands bound behind his back. Then
Mrs. Rogers did what proved her I'M
doing. She wrote on piece of paper.
DO not blame my wife for this, as
she had nothing to do with it, She
signed her husbands name to this,
pinned it on his hat, and hung it on
tree. Next day she wept and walled,
and lamented his loss to the police,
and feared he had committed suicide.
Then she suggested the stream as a
place where he night be found. They
found him. The plot was revealed at
a glance. A man contemplating suicide
would not tie his hands behind him.

Only Russians Who Know What They
Want Are the RevoIutionists,

London, Dec. 12.-The correspondent
of The Daily Telegraph at st. Peters
burg, in a dispatch dated Dec. 10,
sends an interview with Count de
WHITE, i'll which the premier indicates
that Russia is confronted with the al
coercion. Though the count has not
abandoned hope he is not sanguine.
Count de Witte said: son my return
from Portsmouth | found the country
in difficult position from which there
were only two issues. After long and
careful deliberation the emperor, who
needed no persuasion, acted ON his
own initiative, and never doubling
that he couls build upon the moral
courage and the political good sense of
the majority of his subjects took the
course of issuing his manifesto of Oc-
tober 30, and only with alacrity but
with pleasure.
Clearly the vast changes which the
manifesto heralded required time and
patience to carry out, but what hap
pened was utterly unexpected. Sections
of the community-nay, whole classes
went to work Systematically to an
initiate their own means of livelihood
and to ruin themselves and the whole
nation. Instead of uniting to preserve
order the people quarreled among
themselves and attacked the govern
ment.
1.-THE only people who acted in their
own interests were the revolutionists.
They knew what they wanted.
The revolutionists act together for the
end they have in view, which spells
destruction De Witte added that un-
less anarchy was checked the nation
would prabably demand the suppress
zion Of the revolution by force
