And took walk thru Tabby-town,
And just as soon as I got there
The people all began to stare.
And everyone, know right we'll,
Admired more than she could tell,
Except that spiteful Mrs. White,
Who whispered: '"Isn't she sight!
IF Easter time had not been here
would have scratched her, never fear!
But as it was, I thought: "Oh, scat!
We know she 3 just real old cat!

NEGRO DIES SINGING HYMN
Charles Grant Hanged for Murder in
District Jail.
Goes 10 ScafYOId with COIOred Minis
ters-DrOPs Through Trap just
on Brink of Collapse.

With a hymn on his lips and almost
upon the verge of collapse. Charles Ed
ward Grant, colored, was hanged at the
District jail yesterday morning. The crime
for which he paid the penalty was the
murder Of Eva Barnes last December
Death was due TO strangulatiOn as
Grants neck was not broken by the fall
At exactly 7:2s o'clock, in the presence Of
a few spectators and several newspaper
men and the Jail officials. the trap was
sprung and In twenty minutes the body
was taken from the scanold. He spent a
restless night and was awake most Of the
time talking TO the ministers.
Grant walked from the death cell TO
the scaffold accompanied by three col
Ored ministers. While the black cap was
being placed about the victims head he
began to sway from side to side. and
was evidently about TO fall TO the floor
At this instant the deputy gave the sig
nal and the murderer knew no more. As
the body shot through the trap the man
was singing a hymn, the line which he
was repeating at the time being: There's
a home for every one" Grant was
dropped nine feet After being lowered,
the body was removed TO an undertaking
establishment TO await burial. which will
occur in Payne's Cemetery. His mother,
sisters. and several ministers will attend
the funeral.
Eva Barnes. his common-law wife. was
stabbed by Grant December L Of last
year, because Of Jealousy. The woman
was talking to another man which so
angered Grant he attacked her with a
knife At the Homeopathic Hospital the
Barnes woman survived several weeks
with laceration In the heart Grant
was tried last spring and sentenced 10
hang on october 90 4 stay Of execution
was granted to enable the upper court
10 review the case before Judge Gould
The decision Of the lower court was con-
hrmed by Judge Shepard, and the execu-
ton set for yesterday.

Big FOOTBALL GAME
George Washington and Vir-
ginia Clash To-day.
HATCHETITES HOPES RUN HIGH
Coach CrOWeII's Men Expect TO Hold
Charlottesville Team TO Low Score.
Over 30 Left End-MOVe May Prove
Beneficial to Teams Chances.

Great interest is being manifested by
lovers Of football in the game to take
place at 2:3O o'clock to-day at Amer
lean League Park between George Wash
ington University and the University Of
Virginia. In addition 70 giving the salts
faction Washingtonlsns always experience
when seeing the Virginians In action, the
game viii afford an excellent opportunity
to size up the relative merits Of George
Washington and Georgetown. which will
meet on November . for the champion
ship OF Washington.
While not confident Of victory, the
Hatchetites fully expect to hold Capt
Johnson's crack eleven to as low a score
as did Georgetown, which lost last Sat
urday by i TO O. With the exception of
her two stars. Half Back Hammond John
son and Quarter Back Oscar Randolph,
Virginia does not class up any stronger
than the local outfit, but they have no in
dIyidual players in class with this duo.
Field May Play.
Beef Field the all-high school half
back of last year, has been worked at
quarter back in practice this week, and
1t is not unlikely that Coach CrOweIl will
turn over the handling Of the team 10 the
youngster and move Steenerson over to
left end. 1t is thought that this change
VIII prove greatly beneficial The locals
viii depend mostly upon Sutton and Steen-
erson on offensive plays, past tackle, and
around the ends, and are confident that
big Aleck Licarione will be able TO tear
through the line for gains when short dis
tances are needed. The teams are about
evenly matched in weight. but the locals
are not so well versed or developed in the
new tactics Of the game as their oppo-
ents.
The teams will in all probability line
W as follows.

sau Inn IS pretty we'll filed The amount
Of betting IS surprisingly small. Prince
ton stands ready 10 place all kinds Of
money on the result, but refuse 10 offer
odds. The reports sent out from New
Haven seem to indicate confidence on the
part of Yale. Tomorrow it is believed
that many wagers viii be registered at
even money.
All fears as to the condition of the
gridiron has been dispensed with. A
gang Of men, assisted by several hundred
students, worked there last night and
removed ali the snow and straw from the
playing surface. This afternoon when the
place was cleared it was examined and
found TO be all right.
ne Tigers came outdoors to-day for
their last work before the Yale game to-
morrow. They were rushed through a
slgnal dTll, and the coaches were pleased
