New York, June %. According to

Mr.. Riis' first wife, who was MS

paragraphs in his writings, died two
years ago. OF her he wrote in 1.-The
Making Of an American" published
in 1908, this tribute:I

honorary member, for no stouter
champion of the flag is in the land.
Sometimes when. she sings with the
children sit and listen, and with
her voice there comes to me as an
echo Of the long past, the words in
her letter, that blessed hrst letter

TEMPERANCE MEN AT WORK,
Bill To BE introduced in
Georgia Legislature.

Atlanta, Junue 2S Bill No. l. of
the senate, introduced by DR.. l.. g..
Hardman, senator from the thirty
third district, in which the ques-
ton Of prohibition in the state OF
Georgia arises, caused quite a great
deal of comment In legislative circles
Wednesday, and a great many of the
wiseacTes vouch that 1t will pass the
senatorial body like a whirlyind,
without objection. Others claim it
will meet with opposition.
Hardly had the senate become or
ganized for business Wednesday wien
DR.. Hardman arose and stated he had
a bill to introduce.
The opinion of every one is that If
the prohibition bill passes the SEN
ate 1t will go through the house of
representatives
Among the prominent temperance
leaders Of the state present in the
senate were Rev. Alex Bealer, Rev.
Sam Small and viii d. Upshaw, ed
itor of The Golden Age. They seem
ed to be very confident that the state
would go dry by the overwhelming
consent Of this present legislature.
This Is the first of the reform meas
ures to be brought into notice by the
general assembly, 1t is firmly de-
clared others will follow in rapid
succession.

Progress Of Judge Lovlhs's Case at
Houston, Va.

HOUSTON, va.
Houstoh, Va, June %. Interest
In the trial of Judge Loving for the
murder Of young Theodore Estes
Jagged somewhat Wednesday. The
features were the closing of the case
of the defense after the examination
OF three witnesses for the purpose OF
proving taat Judge Loving was insane
at the time Of the killing Of young
Estes, and the statement by the at
torneys for the prosecution of what
they intended to prove If certain wit
nesses are allowed to testify.
The plea of the defense Is that
the mind Of the Judge had, after years
OF dissipation, which frequently
caused him to have dellrlum tremens
from excessive drinking, became so
impaired that when he heard the story
OF his daughter, Miss Elizabeth Low
ing, that she had been drugged and
assaulted, he became deranged and
was not responsible for his act In
killing Estes, Counsel for the de-
Tense hope, through the plea of emo
tional insanity, TO prevent any at
tempt TO impeach the statement Of
Miss Loving.

ATTEMPT TO SAVE MURDERER.
Consul Riccio of New Haven Presides
 at Mass Meeting in Stamford.

Stamford, Oct. 21.-Nearly 1000 Ital- ians of Stamford and vicinity, repre- senting various organizations, were present, yesterday afternoon, at mass meeting in Realty hall, called for the purpose of making an effort to save from the gallows Charles Esposito, the youth who was convicted of killing his boarding mistress in Mianus, and who is now in state prison under sentence of death.
 President c. Pittaro of the Society Vittorio Emanuele III. called the meet ing to order and introduced the com mittee of society presidents and M. Riocio, the Italian consul at New Ha- ven, who was made chairman of the meeting. The consul explained the situation as regards Esposito, the ex- ecution of whose sentence was de- ferred for six months by q reprieve.
 An Italian translation was read of a letter written by Mrs W. J. Blick- ensderfer of this city who was con- spicuous in an unsuccessful effort last year to save Mary Rogers, the Ver- mont degenerate, from the gallows.
 The sentiments contained in the let ter were received with hearty applause and then the meeting unanimously voted to send an appeal to the board of pardons. From expressions made at the meeting It seemed that the hope for a coA.71utation of sentence by the board of pardons as base upon two points. One is that Espositor was sem fenced upon circumstantial evidence alone The other is that he was only seventeen years old at the time of his conviction.
