 Today.

Mantle, July 23.--Along hot and dusty roads, the state militia got l taste of real work to-day when they hiked out on a march to a temporary camp eight miles distant from Ehs city of tents on the Mantle river The tramp somewhat altered the routine of camp week, and while il means steady. plodding for many hours, the soldier boys looked for- ward to it and left camp this morn ing with the full expectation that the experience would be profitable and enjoyable.
 Practically the whole brigade 5os away early, going in two sections and being escorted by Troop A in com mand of Captain Ludington, the men on horseback acting as a scouting party. The two divisions marched about 1,50O yards apart and at ail times the rear of the cavalry was i'll close touch with the advance guard of the first division of infantry. Captain Carter of Company A, Second regiment, was in command of the advance guard, Companies A and F, of the first division, and Lieu tenant-Colonel Bullen, First reSi- ment, was in command of Companies B and K, forming the advance guard of the second division.
 Over hill and down dale the mcn marched, Battery A, the machine gun battery and the hospital corps being included in the body. They set out from camp for Flanders, three and half miles north of the camp ground, and stopped there long enough to eat light rations, and then headed east along the highway a distance of three miles, after winch they took to a road running north east for mile and a half, finally bringing mp at Fog Plain, where they will bivouac for the night at Chester's farm, two mles west of New London.
 When the return is made to-mor- row the two divisions will be con sidered hostile to each other and an attack by the rear guard of one body upon the advance guard of the other will be made somewhere along tie route. The work of the men wss carefully inspected to-day by Briga- dier-General Frost.

WOMAN KILLED
New Yorker Escaped After the Shooting, Although Thorough
 Search Was Made.
FIRED AT OTHERS TOO

New York, July 23.--Miss Esther Norling, aged 23 years. was shot and almost instantly killed to-day, it is alleged, by Charles Warner, her former employer, as she was entering a haberdashery in West 42nd street, where she was employed as a book keeper. Warner, it is charged by the police, fired several shots at A. R. Spicr, manager of the store, while ef- fecting his escape. Warner fled to the sporting goods store of A. G. Spalding & Co in West And street and although twenty policemen sur rounded the building and searched it no trace of Warner could be found. The police believe that Warner was unbalanced by business reverses and other troubles. Miss Norling lived at Ridgeield Park, N. J.
 Miss Norling reached her place of employment early to-day and had to wait until MT Spicer opened the door. Miss Norling entered first and started toward the cashiers desk. Spicer stopped to place a block under the door to keep it open. Miss Norling had reached the rear of the store when shot was fired. Spicer looked up and saw that man had walked past him while he was stooping over. Miss Norling half reeled and looked at the man who fired the shot
 "It's Charley Warner, he shot me, D she cried.
 Warner held revolver in his hand and Spicer tried to interrupt him. Warner, Spicer says, fired his revolver, missing him. spicer seized a bracket to protect himself when Warner fired another shot.
 Warner then slipped out of the door and started along 42nd street, which was crowded with persons go- ing to work. A messenger boy saw Warner running with a revolver and threw a brick at the fleeing man. The brick struck him in the back. fingered, Warner turned and fired his revolver at the messenger boy. His aim was wild and he threw his revol- yer at the messenger boy though there was another bullet in it. Spicer, who was running after Warner saw the gun and made dash for it Warner saw the move and ran for the gun. Seizing it before Spicer could reach the weapon he turned and sped up the street to the Spald- ing establishment through which he ran, escaping by means of rear fire escape after shooting at the police man who chased him.
 MT Spicer said that Warner, who is about 55 years old, had been call ing almost constantly for Miss Nor ling each evening and that she had complained that his attentions had annoyed her. Spicer said that Miss Norling often expressed the opinion that Warner was partly crazed from a business failure two years ago.
 Several hours later Warner appear ed at Wilson's hat store on Broadway and asked for loan if $lo00. As Mir Wilson turned to get the money War. ner shot him in the back and arm. He then ran. but was caught in the street and was turned over to the police. Wilson is in critical condi- tion.

Senator TiIIman on pre.idency.

CINCINNATI, O., July 23. Senator Tillman. here en route to Newtonville, expressed himself as favoring Secre- tary of War Taft for president if the country must have another Republic an. Taft is honest, capable and is of large enough mental caliber to ad- minister the job. like him personally and believe he would make an excel lent president for Republican. But William Jennings Bryan may be the Democratic nominee again. and the fact that he Is as honest, capable and intellectual as Mir. Taft should not be lost sight of by the country. Bryan will give any Republican standard bearer fierce battle, and I think he would beat several of them"

HAU FOUND GUILTY
Washington Professor Condemn cd 10 Death at
 Karlsruhe.

KARLSRUHE. July 23.-Karl Hau, . brilliant young law professor of Washington, was condemned to deata tEis morning after q five days trial fol the murder of his wife's mother, Frau Molitor, wealthy resident of Baden Baden, in that city Nov. 6 last
 The prisoner heard the verdict of the jury with perfect composure and chat ted smilingly with his counsel after the judges withdrew to fix the sen. tence. Upon the return of the judges Hau arose and standing erect with folded arms listened to the sentence without moving muscle. A moment later he was hurried away to prison by half dozen policemen.
 Meanwhile enormous crowds had assembled in the streets adjacent to the courthouse. Cordons of police kept the crowds in check for an hour or more, but then lost control of them, the masses pushing and crushing for ward to the doors
 The crowd stormed the entrance, shouting. "Hau is not guilty" Finally two companies of infantry and squad ron of mounted police appeared on the scene and drove the rioters before them. The infantry, with fixed bayo- nets. cleared all the streets within BOO yards of the courthouse.
 A large number of arrests were made. One old woman was trampled down by the horses, and 1t Is reported that several other persons were in- jured
 The demonstration in favor of Hau appears to be due largely to the same maudlin sentiment which has made a hero out of many another accused. of a daring crime.
 The sentencing of Hau does not end the case. Dr. Dietz, his counsel, having in his address practically given notice Sf an appeal.

AMERICAN SLANG IN ROME.
Youngsters Expression Touched tho
 Hearts of Wanderers.

The universal spread of American slang is amazing and the globe trot- ter meets with it in the most unex- pected places. Last October two Americans wandering about the Plaza d'Espagna in Rome were accosted by
 one of the numerous small boys who sell postal card pictures of the Holy city. He held out a sheaf of postal cards and offered them for sale, stat ing the price in Italian. The Amer jeans did not care to buy, and, like his guild the continent over, he fol- lowed them and became a bit of a nuisance. But he was such merry eyed little chap they had not the heart to speak harshly to him. At last, how ever, they felt obliged to say mo" decidedly. It was then that he sur prised them and gave them queer little pull at their American heart strings. by saying, his black eyes snapping with fun and the magnitude of the achievement: "Skeedoo! Skee- doc! wanta-thr-r-r-ree. Then he vanished with burst of laughter. But the sequel was equally interest ing. Late that sanIa afternoon the same couple came tsom the Cata- combs into the white glare of the Appian way, five miles from the Piazza d'Espagna. They had hardly stepped into the street before the same urchin was at them again, and when he recognized them he was as amused as they. This time he did not offer them any cards, but simply said: "Skeedoo! Skeedoo! Twanty-thr-r-r-ree!" And he got his generous soldi, as he knew quite we'll he would

 Thought is in the soul, which per meates the entire physical being. The brain is great heat producer. but 1t has little to do with the function of thinking. We think with our fingers or with our toes whenever we use them."
