MUSIC Hall Favorite Denies Her En-

Suitor Is Named.
BOTH AT THE SHOREHAM

What does Miss Billy Burke former
favorite of the London music halls. and
more recently successful in comic opera,
do here in Washington?
Who is Stanley Cary. a young English
man. of aristocratic appearance. tall,
fair, and handsome. who followed Miss
Burke 10 the Shoreham Hotel. within a
few hours of her arrival, has remained
In the hotel steadily since then and dur
ing all this period has been her constant
attendant and devoted cavalier?
These are questions to perplex and
annoy. Rumor has it that Miss Burke
and Mr.. Cary came here to be married
and that under the personality of the
latter is concealed the real identity of
Ihe Marquis OF Angelsey, cousin and
heir Of the late nobieman Of that title,
who died about a year ago. Miss Burke
denies both rumors and Mr.. Cary has
left the hotel. 1t was announced at the
hotel that he had left the city.

Tho GaIIows Claims Johnson.

Conway, October 19.-Commander
johnson was hanged here to-day for the
murder of Harmon d. Granger. He
made no confession and no other state
ment than that they were hanging an in
nocent man, one who knew nothing of
the crime.
To all questions by his spiritual adj
the crime he made somewhat evasive an
swers up to an hour or 30 before his
death. They expected from him COM
plete confession or a detailed statement
of his innocence, but neither came. 1t
was short time before he was led to the
gallows that he declared plainly that he
was innocent and knew nothing and he
would add nothing to these words.
He was perfectly composed during his
preparations for death and walked
steadily to the gallows. AS the black
cap was drawn over his face he asked
those present to meet him in heaven.
The trap was sprung at 1.44, and he
was pronounced dead at 1.56 by Drs. E..
Norton and J. S. Dusenbury. The body
was taken by his father, Frank Johnson,
and carried to his home, in Galivant's 8
Ferry foT burial.
The crowd of about two hundred peo-
pie which came TO town to be in the
neighbol hood of the event was quiet,
much quieter than such a sized crowd
usually is here on salesdays and court
week No one here seems to know
whence came the blood -curdling story
that 80 excited Marion and Columbia.
Inquiry at any moment of any reputable
citizen here vino was at all informed
would have rendered altogether unuec-
essary the anxiety, so needlessly dis
played, for Horry's reputation as law
abiding people. The day has passed
into history precisely as every Informed
person in the county expected.

Mrs. Davis Sleeps by Husbands Side.

South to-day paid the last honors to Mrs.
jefferson Davis, widow of the President
of the Confederacy, when with loving
hands her body was laid to rest by that
of her husband in Hollywood cemetery,
where sleeps so many thousand of the
brave men who died in defense of the
stars and bars.
Tho funeral procession was one of the
most imposing ever seen in Richmond.
There were hundreds of Confederate
veterans in line, representing all PARTS Of
the South, who keenly realized that in
burying Mrs. Davis they were laying
away one of the last links that connect
them with the stormy and bloody days
of the sixties, when she was mistress of
the Confederate White House.

Rapist Hanged at BennettsvllIe.

Bennettsville, October 19.-Richard
Dargan, found guilty on October s of
criminally assaulting Mrs. Lucy Ann
Patterson, was hanged at four minutes
after noon to-day. His neck was not
broken, and he died of strangulation.
Contortions of the body ceased in three
minutes, and he was pronounced dead in
twelve minutes.
Standing on the scaffold, Dargan said
that he was guilty and wanted forgive
ness of the people. "God has pardoned
my sns,' he said, land am going to
glory" 81 want this to be warning to
people of my color" he continued. "If
l had listened to my wife that Sunday
and gone home with her, as she told me,
l would not be here now. Instead of
doing as she told me, went out and
drank whiskey with others and got into
this trouble"
After the moose was adjusted Mr.. Per-
son took kodak snapshot. "Give one
to my wife," said Dargan, "and tell her
to have it enlarged"
Dargan came from Sumter and has no
relative here. His wife did not claim
the body, and it will be buried by the
county.
Dargan was hanged in the Jail yard,
which is enclosed by a high, solid fence.
Only a few were admitted inside, but
many men and boys stood around out
side, trying to get a glimpse of the execu-
tion. Some were even perched ON nearby
buildings. The scaffold was the same
one on which Jim Harris was hanged
five years ago for killing chain gang
guard with an axe. The moose was made
of new five-eighth inch hemp rope.
In conversation with Sheriff Green
yesterday morning Dargan made full
confession of the crime for which he
was about to pay the penalty.

plain that our unfortunate ancestors sui
tered much from jumping toothaches
swelled faces and the early loss or for
chile extraction OF teeth which at a later
period might have been saved to rende
their owners many years Of further ser
vice. No wonder, since the care OF The
teeth WAS little understood, and that
little often but negligently practised.
Ioothpicks were known; the tooth
brush was not, although rough sub
stitutes were employed, made OF hatten-
ed sticks, split and pounded at one end
TO a stiiI, fibrous fringe. Tooth brushes
when first introduced, were regarded at
by no means important accessories II
the toilet, but rather as minor Injuries
and suitable for women only.
