DEATH PENALTY FOR GOODr.
Virginian Who Killed His Sweet
heart to Be Hanged.

LURAY, Va, January 11.-Charles Goode
was convicted of the murder of his sweet
heart, Miss Fannie Stroop, in the circuit
court of Page county yesterday and SEN
fenced to be hanged March for the crime.
Goode has been on trial all the week and
the case was given to the jury Wednesday
night about 8 o'clock. Goodies nerve has
been the wonder of all who have witnessed
him throughout the trial and today, soon
after he was sentenced by Judge Haas,
gave his first sign of weakening.
When asked if he had anything to say
why the death sentence should not be pass
ed upon him, he replied that he shot Miss
Stroop accidentally and that he felt sorry
for any jury that would convict any man
of murder for such offense. His mother
and sister did not reach the court room I'M
til after he was sentenced
Mr. Isaac Conner, foreman of the jury,
says that the first ballot taken by the jury
was in favor of the verdict returned. Never
in the history of the county has a white
man been hanged, and only three negroes.
Yesterdays verdict gives general satisfac-
ton.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale has set his

very interesting suggestions, which indicate
the different points of view occupied by

The following is a list:
Womans suffrage in Finland. the first
time in history that the women of any
country have been granted equal political
rights with men.
The intervention in Cuba, which many
consider the first step toward annexation.
The adoption by Congress of a plan for
a high-level, three-lock canal, and the re-
organization of the working force on the

The surrender of the autocracy of Rus
STA by granting the people constitution
and parliament.
The surrender of the autocracy in Per-
STA by granting the people constitution
and parliament.
The awakening of China to modern ideas.
Although Peary's triumph and Amuns-
den's voyage are the most dramatic events
in the list, the promise of constitutional
government in China and the political. edu-
cational and social reforms which have
been introduced there under the authority
of the empress dowager will probably be
the most far-reaching in their influence
upon the human race.
The advance which has been made in
aerial navigation is not included in this
list because very little was done in that
direction during the year 1906. The Wright
brothers of Dayton, Ohio, made their cele-
brated flight of twenty-four miles at the
rate of thirty-eight miles an hour on the
4th of November, 1905, and therefore their
cluded within the history of the year 1906.
During the last twelve months Santos Du-
mont has made several experimental
flights, but has not exceeded his former
record and has not approached that or the
Wright brothers. The latter have been
practically in seclusion during the year.
They have made no public tests, and have
declined all invitations, because they are
negotiating for the sale of their patent to
the European governments for military
purposes When the bargain Is completed
or the negotiations finally declared on, 1t
is expected that they will give exhibitions
that will surprise students of aeronautc
science as well as the general public.
While there is no authority to determine
the comparative Importance OF the events
in the above list and while there may have
been others of equal Importance, the SUBJECT
offers a very interesting Held Tor specula-

the Rural Guards as well as the movement
of United States troops through these plan
tations have a very Quieting effect both
upon the owners and upon persons who
might desire to burn sugar cane. The use
of these patrols upon all sugar estates.
Capt. Ryan says, would be impossible, but
he says a judicious system of distribution
of patrols between Rural Guards and United
States troops would insure great confidence.

BURNING SUGAR CANE
VARIOUS MOTIVES ASSIGNED FOR
THE ACTS OF DESTRUCTION.

AS result of the sugar burning which
occurred recently near Ranchuelo, Santa
Clara province, Cuba, Capt. j. A. Ryan of
the 18th Cavalry, on duty in Cuba, has
lie a report to the chief of staff on the
subject of the methods pursued in the de-
structiOn of sugar cane as We! as the
methods of prevention. The principal rea
sons assigned for the burning of cane are
that laborers thereby practically double
their daily wages; it sometimes is burned to
hasten the harvest; is done for the purpose
of eXtorting money; for collecting insurance
or as a means of revenge by disaffected
persons for political reasons. Capt. Ryan
states that the talk heard in the cafes in
the vicinity of sugar estates in regard to
revolutionists would lead one to believe
that one of the means employed by these
reVolutioniStS to spread terror through the
land is a threat to burn sugar cane. This,
says Capt. Ryan, would be a prompt
means of causing a great loss of property,
but up to the present time, in the vicinity
of Santa Clara province it is believed that
no sugar cane has been destroyed by dsaf-
fected persons"
Paying for Protection.
1t is generally denied, Capt. Ryan also
states, that the administrators of sugar es-
tates pay money to protect their fields, but
he nevertheless believes that money is SO
paid. On the other hand he says that the
burning of sugar cane which is insured is
looked upon with suspicion, and he reaches
the conclusion that such acts are prompted
by desire to make money through insur
ance companies.
Capt Ryan adds that cane very frequent
ly is burned by accident, by sparks from
locomotives, and With the view to destroy
ing poisonous weeds, but he mentions two
ingenious methods of setting fire to cane
fields One is by the use of a candle, which
is lighted at midnight or early in the morn
ing. By the time it burns down to some
fine straw or dry leaves and sets fire to the
cane, the culprit has had ample opportunity
to escape. The other method is to place
stick of pure phosphorus in the center of
the cane field upon combustible material,
the cane cleared away that the sun can
shine upon it. This phosphorus is placed
there at night and the heat of the day
increases in temperature it approaches
burning point about noon, ignites and soon
sets the cane in the immediate vicinity on
fire.
Not all cane so burned, says Capt. Ryan,
is destroyed if it is Immediately cut and
ground. He says that mill owners usually
sidetrack all other cane in order to grind
quickly cane that has been burned.
Method of Protection.
The method of protection used at present,
and which has been in vogue for years,
says Capt. Ryan, is to have certain num-
Der of armed guards paid by the sugar es-
tates to patrol their plantations. For that
service men are selected who know all the
natives in the vicinity and who will quickly
