In an interview published in Sundays
American, MIR. Glenn H. Worthington, Fred
erick City, suggests the making of an issue
Ii the next State campaign OF some specific
form of amendment to the State constltu-
ton, limiting the right OF suffrage, and he
favors a plan like the Frederick law or
something similar to that. MIR. Worthing-
ton believes that the people Of the State are
ready for the adoption of such an amend
ment as will by simple and direct means
tend TO purify the electorate and insure the
political ascendency Of the white race. He
thinks that all animosities engendered by
the last campaign on this question should
be subordinated 10 the good OF the party
and that such an amendment should be
drawn as would meet the popular approval
and the united support OF all persons deslr-
ing generally higher type Of citizenship
for the exercise Of the elective franchise.

woman, this being sufficient to
cause her death. He thought
that she was choked to death.
Hurla Latta told of the prison.
er coming to the home of his
wife two times on Sunday after
noon before her dead body was
found and that he said on leaving
the second time that he would
kill her before day.
Police officer Gates saw the
prisoner as late as IL o'clock
Sunday night. He left him on
Corcoran street and the negro
was going towards Foster street.
The negro said that his wife had
treated him dirty and that she
had to do better, leave town, or
do something worse. The officer
told him not to go to the house
and have any trouble. This was
within four or five blocks of the
woman's house and the negro
was going that way.
Then came the story of the
scufle in the house. This was
told by Cora Sims, John Sims
and Winnie Whitfield. They
were on their way from church
shortly after IL o'clock and pass
ed the home of Lizzie Guthrie.
They heard scufiing in the house
and the two women wanted to
investigate the matter and John
Sims told them to come on home
with him that he did not want to
be a witness in court. He said
he thought there was gambling
game on and a fuss.
When the State announced that
it would introduce no more evil
dence the defense asked that the
case be dismissed because moth
ing in the evidence tended to
show that the defendant was
guilty of the crime. This was
overruled by the court and j
was announced that the evidenc'
would be given to the jury.
The first speech was made b!
Horner Winston for the Stat
and the evidence was reviewed
bringing out the strong points il
favor of conviction. He was fol

cure conviction.
Then came the speech of Ben
jamin Lovenstein, who made a
! earnest effort to show that hi
client was not guilty. He wa
! followed by the charge of Judg
Council, who told the jury wha

A FAMILY OF MOONSHINERS.
How The Tusings Turned Corn Into
Profit,

Deputy United States Marshal
Brown left yesterday with Nathan
Tusing for Hampshire county,
where Tusing will spend at least
FIVE months in Jail for distilling in
the wilds of Hardy county.
Judge Dayton also fined him $1,000,
but he declares he will never pay
the money.
Nathan Tusing is a moonshiner
by birth. His father was a moon
sinner, and it is said that his
grandfather engaged in the bust
ness. Nathan Tusing does not
think there is any harm in making
whiskey. He says he cannot draw
a distinction between turning corn
into whisky and turning it into
chop feed. Of all the men who
have distilled in Hardy county and
that section of the county. Nathan
Tusing probably went the longest
before he was caught. 1t is said
that he started in the business be-
fore he was of age, and he is now
between 90 and 70 years old. He
bought all the corn and chop in
his county and turned into whisky
and operated the largest stills
known in the State.
The evidence before the court
showed that he held number of
sales every year, but he was al
way fortunate enough to elude the
officers. He would never hold a
sale close his still, locating the
selling place at least ten miles
from the still. He would send the
word around among the mountain
GERS of the sale, which was schedul-
ed for midnight, and would last
until 4 O'Clock in the morning. 1t
was a bad sale il he did not get rid
of $500 worth Of liquor.

The Month of DisiIIusion,

In March they WOO, in April
they quarrel, in May they make up,
in June they wed:and in July they
think it over. Here we have the
grand hymeneal sequence or mat
rimonial chain. Prose follows
poetry as headaches follow holt
days. The romantic bridegroom
OF June, with his pink cheeks and
flashing eyes, his shiny cuffs and
tall silk hat, becomes the mute and
melancholy married man of July.
The bride, once an enchanting
fairy, becomes a cook.
A couple of weeks ago they set
out upon their nuptial pilgrimage,
with rice in their hair and a great
JOY humping at their hearts. To
him, she seemed beautiful beyond
all dreams of beauty; to her, he
seemed nobler than Bayard, hand
somer than Faversham and drawer
than Bat Masterson' To both the
world appeared as gorgeous pale.

gilt electroliers and its quasi-satin
wallpaper. They are happy still,
but it is with a chastened, pianis-
simo happiness. He kisses her
goodby in the morning-and as
their lips meet his thoughts fly
forward to the labors of his day.
1t is OSCILLATION that leaves some
thing lacking. 1t is a kiss that
has lost its old element of glorious
surrender and imnolation. So
soon, indeed, as one may think of
other things, while kissing, the
act itself becomes a kissing and a
mocking. A perfect kiss is stag
gering and anesthetic. 1t makes
mind blank and the heart a bass
drum.
But let not Clarence groan, nor
Gwendolen inhame her pretty eyes
with weeping. 1t is we'll for the
wicked old world, alas that love
grows commonplace and pale. If it
flared like an arc-light and ragged
like hurricane forever, the work
of the world would fall entirely
upon bachelors and grass widowers
Kissing would interfere with fight
ing and robbing There would be
none to bear burdens in the heat
of the day-none but the aforesaid
bachelors and grass w1dowers.
The morning farewell, beginning
at SIS a. NJ, would last until 5 p.
m, instead Of ending at 8.I5H a.
m, as it does now. And the re-
suit would be famine, drouth, pes
thence, panic and sorrow in the
home. Baltimore Sun.

War While You Wait.

War, war wholesale or retail,
war in twenty-four hours, war in
a week or war in six months.
Anyone who wants war can get
just the sort he requires by pick
ing his newspaper to that end.
There are Eeven some old fogy
sheets declaring there will not be
any way at all. And probably
they are just as far right as any of
the rest. This is, of course, war
between Japan and the United
States-war talk is 50 rife that il
is almost unnecessary to mention
the complaints. There proba-
bly, will be war, but it is not in
sight, and when its comes the voy-
of the battle-ship squadron around
Cape Horn will have passed into
history and been half forgotten
A decade is not a week in the life
of a nation, and probably it will
be a decade before Japan thinks
she is in a position to fight the
United States. When she thinks
she is in a'position, physically and
financially, o'.the fight will come.
The provocation may be a restau-
rant row in!San Francisco or our
oppression of the natives in the
Sulu Archipelago. The provoca-
ton does snots matter much. 1t
will be found.s.when it is wanted.
But for the Epresent Japan knows
she is not in condition to fight us,
and we do not want to fight Japan.
There it can rest. But those who
want a paper'war of any sort can
get it by subscribing to the right
sort of ,paper.-Fairmont West
Virginia.
