5e1Ied Bvwaters to marry their sister,
who was believed to be dying. he had
attempted to Illustrate the Strotfers IN
their determination to have him marry
their sister. It was death Or marriage.
He Welded and was induced to SIT by
the bedside of his wife Watching an
opportunity he attempted to fee. but he
was checked in this effort and again
compelled to remain by the side Of his
wife. In a second attempt to escape,
with the intention of abandoning his
wife. he jumped from window and as
he landed on the roof Of building adj
Joining, the Strothers fred and he fell
nortallv wounded and died soon there
latter.
The Strothers were charged with
murder The case was prolonged Their
sister in relating her woes brought tears
to the eyes of the crowds in the court
room. For a while the result of the case
was in doubt, but when the jury re-
turned with verdict of Not guilty
the court, packed with people, resound-
ed with enthusiastic ceers OF approval.
Order aving been restored, the Judge
addressing the jury said: Gentlemen
of the jury, thank you for verdict
which I think will be approved by the
people 1t is an established precedent
in the State of Virginia that no man
tried for defending te sanctity of his
home should be found guilty.
The Strothers brothers were almost
overwhelmed with the handshakes and
greetings of their friends.
The verdict of the jury in this case is
significant The common law was be-
yond the reach of the Strothers, who
would have been cravens had they per-
mitted the man who had despoiled their
sister to escape and abandon his helpless
wife.
The virtue of wonlanhood must be
protected at all hazards against the
wiles of the seducer 1t is the law, in
the South, that man can not escape
death who has debauched and betrayed
a mans wife, his daughter or his sister.
Human nature will assert itself. 1t had
been suggested that the Strothers should
invoke the plea of insanity, but this was
repealed. In the eyes of honest and law
abiding men they were either right or
wrong. The common law has triumpl1ed
simply because the Strothers were right
when they killed the man who had be-
trayed their friendship and brought
shame and disgrace ON their sister.

NEWS in BRIEF
A Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by a Caucasian Representative,

Prof. Henry E. Chambers OF New Or
leans, historian and author Of many
charming short stories and poems,
makes an appeal for the preservation of
Louisiana history in letter addressed
to the editor of the Times Democrat !:
He says: we should have a State de-
partment of history and archives similar
TO those of Mississippi, Alabama, Wis
consn and other States. We should
have a State historical organization of
some kind meeting III annual conver-
ton at various points, and awakening
the people of the State to an enthusiastic
appreciation of our State and local his
tories. We should have a chair of
American history i'll both of our State
universities specifically set apart not on
ly to the work OF instructing in .Anleri-
can, Southern and State history. but in
melting to original research and in
bringing about the writing and publish
ing OF Our own history i'll place OF leav-
ing it to others not in sympathy with us.
The State of Mississippi has an official
department. OF archives and history. 1t
is under the supervisioa> OF a commits
sion composed OF suchApien as General
Stephen D. Lee, Bishop Galloway, Chan
celior Fulton, DIR. Franklin Riley of the
State University and other men of that
caliber. 1t employs all official director,
whose duties are to collect, preserve,
arrange, edit and publish whatever is of
Or interest bearing upon
Mississippi history. This director, Dr.
Dunbar Rowland, has accomplished pfe
results.
The department is closely correlated
with the Mississippi State Historical So
ciety, that meets only once year, yet
the proceedings and papers of these
for the past ten years fill ten
or twelve heavy volumes of such inn
portance and value that they are sub
scribed for by the leading universities
and public Libraries of the world

ROCK Me TO SLEEP, MOTHER
More than thirty composers have set
music to Elizabeth Akers Aliens poem
Rock Me to Sleep. Mother Mrs.
Allen was literary editor of the Portland
(Maine) Advertiser for some years and
has published several volumes of prose
and poems. Her authorship to the poem
has been disputed. but her claims are
now generally acknowledged.
Backward, turn backward, O Time in
your flight,
Make ME child again just for tonight
Mother, come back from the eclloless
shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore :;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of
care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my
hair;
Over my slunlbers your loving watch
keep;
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to
sleep.
Backward, flow backward, o tide of the
years!
| am so weary of toll and of tears,
Toll without recompense, tears all in
vain,
Take them, and give me my childhood
again.
| have grown weary of dust and decay
Weary of flinging my soul wealth away:
Weary of sowing for others to reap,
4>ock me to sleep. mother, rock me to
sleepi
Tired OF the hollow, the base, the untrue.
Mother. O mother, my heart aches for
you.
Many summer the grass has grown
green,
and faded our faces between,
Yet with strong yearning and passion
ate pain
Long / tonight for your presence again.
Come from the silence so long and so,
deep
Rock me to sleep. mother, rock me to'
sleep!
Over my heart i'll the days that have
flown,
No love like mother love eer has shone;
No other worship abides and endures-
Faithful, unselhsh and patient like yours.
None like a mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and the world-weary
brain.
Slumber's soft Gains DER my heavy lids
creep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to
sleep!
Come, let your brown hair just lighted
with gold
Fall on your shoulders again as of old
-et it drop over my forehead tonights
Shading my faint eyes away from the
light;
7or with its sunny edged shadows once
more
Happy with throng the sweet visions of
wore:
.ovingly, softly, its bright pillows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to
sleep!
Mother. dear mother, the years have
been long
Since last listened to your lullaby song,
sing then, and unto my soul it shall
" omanhood's years have been but al
dream.
,lasped to your heart in loving ems
brace
With your light lashes Just sweeping
my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to
sleep!

EARTHQUAKES GREAT
 STONE FACE OUTDONE Softer Features on Butter Fig ure of Some Connecticut
 Statesmen. TAT THE LOCAL FOOD FAIR Dillon & Douglass, of This City, Order Novel Exhibit at Ex- position, Which Opens
 on Saturday.

The variety and excellence of the ex- hibits which will be seen in the Food and Industrial exposition which opens at the Second Regiment armory Sat- urday evening next will far surpass the exhibits of the two preceding expo- sitions which were so popular. The various concerns exhibiting are striv- ing to outdo each other in the attrac- tlveness of their exhibits and the re- suit will be an exposition well worth visiting.
 The firm of Dillon & Douglass of this city is to exhibit for the second time in the expositions of the New Haven Business Mems association. In the last exposition the exhibit made by this concern was one of the most attrac- tive on the floor.
 They showed their Gold Medal
 Creamery butter and adopting the
 name of their butter used as their
 ,olor scheme gold and white, thereby
 making most artistic and attractive lisplay.
 MT. Douglass has just completed ar- 'angements whereby he is to bring to his city for the exposition a most lovel exhibit. For this exhibit the rm has secured the services of a sculptor who has gained large repu- ation in the various national exhibi- ions. The firm is having built large ice oox, ten by six feet in size at the base md six feet in height In this ice box he sculptor will work modelling vari- ous figures out of butter In big show in Lincoln, Neb., this man mod eled the life-size figure of William Jennings Bryan and in big show in Minnesota the figure of Governor Johnson of that state.
 This exhibit has been seen at Buffalo and St. Louis during the big exhibi- tions there, but has never been shown in the east. The subject of the artists, work in this city Mir. Douglass Is not as yet ready to announce, but some prominent man In the city or state will doubtless find himself we'll but tered before the exposition Is over
 This same artist is very clever in various grouping works, in one expo sition doing a barn yard group, show ing barn yard with COW drinking at a trough and boy standing at the pump filling the trough.
 The executive committee of the ex- position will meet this noon to com plete a few minor details and at the meeting it is expected that Manager Linsley will report the selling out of the floor space.

PLEASURE AT HEALTH RESORTS.

Professor Cook of the New York Post Graduate Medical School says that centuries of experience have demonstrated that in certain disorz ders, mineral waters, intelligently used, are 6 better curative agency than drugs and that Europeans have not failed to appreciate their re- sources of this character. Some of the springs. such as the Apenta of Buda-Pest, Hungary, are conducted under scientific and medical super vision. It has often been said that American watering resorts are given over more to recreation and entertain rnent than to the study and care of the visitors health.
