Where the First Admiral Will Rest.

In The Delineator for May, Hester
Dorsey Richardson gives a sketch of the
picturesque old town of Annapolis, where
the body of John Paul Jones was brought,
after its removal from Paris.
"It would be difficult to select a place
she says, "more hallowed by the. tradi-
tions of those stirring days in which
John Paul Jones lived his active, useful
life, than this old capital of Maryland.
Some of the houses are surrounded by
the most fascinating associations. 1t is
in visiting these magnificent old man.
sions that abound throughout the city
that one can obtain the most delightful
retrospective views of those days when
stately danes, with powdered hair and
patches tripped up and down the wide
stairways, while men moved in time to
the gallant clank of sword and spur.
When one visits the great rambling Paca
mansion, one is flooded with such memo.
ries, for it was here that Winston
Churchill laid the scenes of Richard Car
vel, and the old place has since been re-
christened "Carvel Hall' Another famous
house is the "Carrollton," the home Of
Charles Carroll, "the Signer." It is no
longer the spot where youth and beauty
congregate. The members of a religious
order now lead their lives of renuncia-
ton within its sombre walls. The Scott
mansion, once the home of Francis Scott
Key, and the Stewart house are other of
the interesting relics in whose midst the
body of the first American admiral is to
lie, but one is impressed by the feeling
that if the brave commander could have
selected his own last resting place, he
would have chosen just such spot as
this picturesque old capital of Maryland" !"

noon to be hanged on the third Friday in
May between the hours of 10 and 2
o'clock.

to prepare his brief, which, it is said, was
not done.
The supreme court affirmed the findings
of the lower court.
When asked by the court if he had any
thing to say Stukes today requested the
court to examine into certain testimony
which was made against him, and to re
quest the solicitor to try to secure certain
testimony from some witnesses in his be-
half which he failed to get to court.
Judge Gary informed the prisoner
there was nothing he could do. His duty
was to sentence him. he admonished
him to get ready to meet that Judge of
Judges, and if he was innocent ask Him
to consider his case and his situation.

Stukes slashed and stabbed him about
the head and body with "hook bill'
