A WASHINGTON ARTIST COMPLETES 9OR.
TRAIT OF POPE, TiLLmAN AND HAGOcD.

Washington, April 29.--Miss Clara
Strait, South Carolina lady, has re,
Gently painted the portraits of three dis.
tiuguished South Carolinians in her
studio here. These portraits are of Col.
Joseph Daniol Pope, Gen. johnson Ha-
good and Senator Tillman.
The portrait Of Col Pope is for Mrs. It.
Reed Stoney, daughter of Col. Pope. She
will presumably hang 1t in her home.
The portrait of Gen. Hagood was or.
, dered by the Daughters of the Confed.
eraoy, and it will be presented to the
State of South Carolina and hung in the
State House.
The portrait of Senator Tillman is to
displace the one already at winthrop
College, in the front parlor. This picture
at Winthrop Senator Tillman does not
like. 1t is a life.size portrait, three
quarter length, and represents the Sena.
tor In his most pleasing attitude. .
The portrait of Col. Pope is life size,
though only bust. The Colonel Is smil-
ing and happy and his genial, lovable
nature is admirably shown in his fea-
lures, as they are in life.
Gen. Hagood is in Confederate gen.
erals uniform, the likeness being taken
from q picture when the General was in
his middle life vigor. There was no pho
tograph Of him in Confederate uniform,
however. Miss Strait painted the pic
ture from number of photographs and
from frequent consultations with Capt.
Johnson Hagcod, grandson CO Gen.
Hagood, who is in the United States
! Army, now stationed in Washington,
The portraits of Col. Pope and Gen.
Hagood will be sent to South Carolina
soon. They have created considerable
interest among South Carolinians in
Washington who are acquainted with the
man or with their families.
Miss Strait is the artist, it will be re-
membered, who painted the portrait Of
Gen. Micah Jenkins, which was recently
unveiled in the State House. She has
had studio in Washington since 19O3.--

Washington, April 25.-Secretary
Wilson to-day created by executive
order the Board of Food and Drug
Inspection, whose duty it shall be to
administer the national pure food
laws. The board consists of DR..
Harvey Wiley, Chief of the Bureau
of Chemistry, chairman DR.. Frede-
rick l.. Dunlap, whose commission
as Associate Chemist dates from to-
day, and George r. McCabe, Solici-
tor of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
Secretary Wilson has found it
practically impossible to take the
required time to 90 into all the
necessary details imposed in the ad-
ministration Of the pure food law.
The amount of administrative work
in this connection, he says, has been
rapidly increasing during the past
months, and to keep up with it he
has found it will take absolutely all
his time. President Roosevelt was
consulted in the matter and at once
gave hearty assent to the plan of
placing the administration of the
laws in the hands of a board.

Packing Plant Burned.

Pittsburg, April 25.--A loss of
100000 was sustained by fire in the
William strolled Packing Company's
plant at Spring Garden, Allegheny,
opposite the city, when 100000
pounds of lard and the killing de.
partment of the plant were de-
stroyed. The fire is supposed to
have been caused by the crossing of
an electric wire. A panic was
caused among the spectators by the
explosion of dozen ammonia tanks,
but no one was injured.

Walhalla, April 3O-Editors Courier
A little more Of my ramble Of State and
am through.
On leaving Aiken, on my return tC
Walhalla, came back by way of Au.
gusta. Here l met some of my old
friends from Greenville, S. G. They are
all engaged in a lucrative business and
seem to be doing well, but they said they
were like the children of Israel, their
hearts yearn back to the flesh pots OF
old South Carolina, and rs the people in
South Carolina were aroused from their
letbargy, and had about thrown off the
monarchioal, tyrannical yoke by electing
Governor Ansel and Gen. Lyon, and that
it began to look like man could worship
God according to the dictates of his own
conscience and under his own vine and
fig tree, and not be bossed by the dicta-
tor, or his spies either.
l left Augusta for Greenwood over the
G. and w. G. railroad. passed the his
torical town of Mccormick, where there
was riot with the Tolberts several
years ago. 1t looked at one time as If
there would be serious trouble. SO much
30 that Sheriff McCaslan wired me to
hold myself in readiness, as my services
might be needed. On reaching Green
wood met the sheriff, whom had never
seen before, and in talking aaout the
riot he told mo we'll did he remember my
reply to his telegram: "If it was neces-
sary would be there ON first train with
q hundred of the best men that ever
went to BATTLE"
While at Greenwood met several of
my old friends and comrades that be
longed to Orr's Regiment. Among them
was william Mckinney, and who is it
that does not remember Bill Mckinney
found him to be the same genial, big
hearted follow he always was. Ihad the
pleasure of visiting him in his home and
meeting his kind lady and his beautiful
and accomplished daughter. They made
me feel quite at home. Bill can tell all
aoout the war, from Sandy Springs to
Appomattox, and many little incident
did he relate while l was there. We
split our blood together on more than
one battlefield in defense of what we
thought was right. In his rehearsing
the war, and telling over how the loved
ones cheered us and encouraged us to 60
to the front, made me think of these
lines:
when war is at hand and danger is
nigh,
God and the soldier Is the peoples cry.
When the war is over, and all things
righted,
God forgotten, and the soldier sighted.

kensburg, Mo-, Aug. 3.--Charg-
That his former sweetheart, Anna
1ich he himself is accused by the
girl, Robert Sassaman will present the
wost novel defense in the criminal
history of Missouri when he is placed
on trial Monday. The case was call
ed in June, but the venire Of sixty
men was exhausted without securing
a jury, and continuance granted till
August 5.
Owing to the great popular interest
in the crime it will probably be exceed
ingly difficult to find twelve men who
have not formed decided opinions.
The case against Sassaman rests
upon assertions of Anna Bentley that
the accused man. who was once her
lover, killed Carl Miller for purposes
of robbery.
Against this charge Sassaman will
declare that Miss Bentley committed
the deed and informed the authorities
Mat he did it through anger at his
marriage to another woman.
II is the cid. old story of woman
scorned, if Sassaman is to be believed
"a woman who did not stop at muir
der and perjury to obtain revenge.
Sassaman is of wealthy family and
some of the best attorneys of this sec
ton have been employed to defend
him.
Carl Miller, aged so, was killed May
80, 1904, two and one1ha1f miles west
of Holden, and his body thrown into
an abandoned we'll Nearly months
passed before any inkling Of the crime
became public, when Anna Bentley
made the startling accusation against
Sassaman. Officials went with Miss
Bentley to the scene of the crime
and in the Shiny water of the aban
doned well the decomposed body OF
the old man was found.
On the evidence of the girl the cor
oners jury rendered verdict that
the victim had come to his death al
the hands of Sassaman.
According to the story told the Of
ficers by the womap, she and Sassa
man made the acquaintance of Miller
at Holden and pursuaded him to &C
company them in fishing trip to

Kansas. They ~ delayed by the
swollen stream >and on the night of
May Both at the camp fire, Sassaman
slew the old man, crushing his skull
with an axe.
The alleged motive was the posses
sion of Miller's team and wagon. A
heavy stone was fastened to the body
and it was thrown into the ,old well.
Sassaman and the woman proceeded
to Kansas, spending some time in To
peka. In September, Sassaman, ac-
cording to Miss Bentley, deserted her
to go to North Dakota, with the in
tention of killing a sweetheart of hers
of whom he was jealous. She inn
mediately returned to Missouri and in
formed on him.
Sassamans story of the crime puts
the crime on the woman. The night
of the murder, as the old man leaned
over the fire to light his pipe, the wo-
man, according to Sassaman, struck
him on the head with an axe, killing
him instantly.
She then said to Sassaman: From
now no. Bobby, you do what say, or
you viii get a dose of the same medi-
cine. / am woman, and If you
should tell that killed Miller nobody
will believe you. If say you did it,
they'll believe me and hang you. If
you marry that girl in st. Louis or
have anything more to do with her,
I'll lay this murder on you the day
you get married"
After several quarrels with Miss
Bentley in Topeka, Sassaman left her
and went to ST. Louis, where he mar
ried the girl of whom the Bentley wo-
man had been jealous.
The couple were married in Kansas
City and notice of the issuance of the
license was published in the Kansas
City papers. Miss Bentley read it
and Immediately made good her al
legged threat to accuse Sassaman of
the murder of Miller.
Owing to its unique features, the
case has attracted wide attention, and
popular opinion is about equally d.
vided as to the guilt of the man or
womn, while many believe that both
had hand in the murderous affair
and are now attempting to shift all the
blame on their partner in guilt.
