DEATH AGAIN
INTERFERES

New York, March 7.-(SpeciaD -
Death has again cast its dark in
nuence over Harry X. Thaw, on trial
for his life.. The persistence with
which the grim reaper has interfer-
ed with the course of the trial has
had u most depressing effect on the
young prisoner.
Death came to n member of Justice
Fitzgerald's family yesterday after
noon late and as result no session
of the court is being held today.
Yesterday afternoon Attorney Del
mas announced that only two more
witnesses would be called by the de-
fensc, these will be two alienists,
DIR. Jellisse and DIR. Hammond who
have been present at every session
of the court. Today the attorneys
have been busy preparing the hy-
pothetical questions to be propound-
ed these alien1sts.

ference informed him that certain
prominent men in town belonged TO
this order.
Glowing Proposition.
He then, it is said told the doctor
that there was one vancy in the or
der membership and that by paying
him the sum of 1870 he could become
member. and at the same time he
would secure life Insurance to the
amount of 100000 and that through
the mighty workings of this order
and its connection with the New
York Stock exchange would be paid
dividend of $12.5O at the end of
few months. AT the same time
it was agreed that the order should
back the mining company. Lace, it
is claimed, had all kinds of papers,
letters, etc, and the details of the
scheme are interesting to the ex-
treme. DR.. Eldridge states that he
agreed to pay the S370. Lace, it is
said was in no hurry about getting
the money but moved deliberately in
everything. Finally the money was
paid in cash and a mysterious re-
ceipt from the remarkable organi-
zation was given the doctor. Lace
soon after, was missing DR.. Eldridge
says that he realized that he was
ileeced. A few months ago Lace
was apprehended in Reno. Nevada
and brought to this city, and has
been in jail ever since.
The testimony is as interesting as
any ever surrounding an alleged con-
fidence game.
Judge Brown and Attorney Staley
are representing the defendant who
is a lawyer himself. Judge Brown
attempted to have the information
ftlnd complaint quashed on the
grounds that it was faulty but this
was overruled by the court.
A Distinguished Appearance
The jury was secured without
much trouble and the taking of testi-
mony began this afternoon. There
are many witnesses and the case is
one of the most interesting of the
term. Col" Lace Is a fine looking
old fellow. wears a suit of military
blue, large white soft hat, gold rim
med glasses and indeed makes a
handsome appearance. His manners
are really charming. He seems to be
confident of acquitthl. This trial

THEY WILL CUT
THEM DOWN

Denver, March 7.-(Specia)
The joint senate and house COM
mittee on appropriations for state in
stitutions reached an agreement yes

fact that there is considerable dis
satisfaction another meeting will be

tuition the appropriation asked for
is cut down to a big extent. The ap-
propriations made are in every case
for building purposes as the instl-
tutions of the state are maintained
by mill levy.
Some of the appropriations decid-
ed upon are as follows:
These are for the biennial term of
1907-Os.
The state university asked for
s45O.0O0. They will get 100000
The Soldiers home asked for 500
600 and will get $4,000.
The state agricultural college ask
ed for S240.0OO and will get S45,-
900.
The school of mines asked for SEQ,

Girls industrial school wants $780,;
900 and will get $4,000.

The state prison asked for $780,
900 and will get $272,000.
Boys Industrial school wants 1920
900 and will get $4,000.

tion to be made is given at $2.172.-

amount will come up in the house
today.

1t is really remarkable the inter-

they come in. 1t would be hard to
estimate the number of people who

The number would run way up into

while in the morning it rested on
the $4,000 mark, then about noon 1t

the $4,000 mark.
There is but little doubt that the
$50, 900 mark, the half way notch
will be reached some time today. The
solicitors report excellent encourage
ment today and the subscription
cards have been filled out very liber-
ally.

A Fellow Teachers Tribute.
The hearts of our people are
bowed down with sadness and
grief, for the angel of death has
come within our midst and rob- y
bed US of one of our fairest
Jewels. Miss Annie Rookie
passed away on Friday evening,
May II, at the home of Mrs j A
Cockfeld. Everything within
the power of medical science
and attention was done for her,
but it was evident from the
first that death was waiting to
receive her.
Miss Rookie had been connect
ed with our school for the past
two years and during that time
she won the respect, admiration
and love of all the people.
The school children loved her
for her quiet, gentle manners
and the older ones carried to
her their joys and sorrows, as
sured of sound advice and a
sympathetic ear. One heart
broken mother said to me with
tears streaming down her
cheeks and with her voice chok,
ed with emotion: "Oh, 1 did
so much hope that we would not
lose ller, for I wanted to send
my children to her next year.
"Oh, Miss Rookie, you have
builded better than you knew
Miss Rookie did not fear DEATH.
She was conscious up to- the
very moment of her death and
was fully aware of her condi--
tion and yet showed no signs
of fear, for she was sustained by
a. perfect faith in her God. In
her own words Christ was to
her "a reality, not an idea"
And yet she did not want TO
die. She wanted to live for her
people, for the good that she
could do them. At the time she
took sick We were just begin
ing to prepare for commence
ment and she was very anxious
for it's success. On the day of
her death, while at her bedside,,
she said to me: 81 suppose
you are making great prepara-
tions for commencement" "No,
Miss Rookie, said l, "we are
| making no preparations what
ever" "Oh, Pm so sorry that
interfered," was her answer:
Oh. Miss. Rookie, always un-
mindful of self, even when
your body is racked with pain
and when your breath comes in
gasps.
On Saturday a large number
of friends followed her body to
her former home in Lake City.
1t was a hot, dry and dusty day
and this added to our gloom.
We reached Lake City just as
the shades OF night were begin
ming to close in upon the earth
at about the same time of her
death the evening before.
Her body was buried in the
Baptist cemetery at Lake City
on Sunday morning at II o'clock.
1t was appropriate that the
boys from the school in which
she served so faithfully should
perform the last sad duty to
her remains; and Kirkland
Cockfeld, Bascomb Cockfeld,
Willie Tom Lee, Clinton Cannon,
Douglas Venters and Norval
Newell acted as pail bearers.
Our sympathy is extended to
the father, mother and sisters.
May they be comforted by the
thought that she is now at rest;
and that the spirit has con-
quered the flesh. and is now in
its eternal resting place. where
there is no more sickness, sor-
row or death, and "where the
wicked cease from troubling,
and the weary are at rest"

A YOUNG LIFE GOES OUT.
Death of Miss Annie Amelia Rookie, q
Youna Lady OF Many Attractions.

Departed this life, Miss An
ME Amelia Rookie, at the resi-
dence of Mr. j A Cockfeld,
Johnsonville, S c., on Friday
evening, May II, 1907, at 8 o.
clock.
To strangers these words an
nounce only a commonplace,
everyday occurrence,-a death:
to our people of Lake City, to
the people of Johnsonville and
to all who know and under
stand, they proclaim something
tar more than that-a sad cal
amity. These words tell to the
latter of the snapping OF
thread that, all golden, OF
softest weave and brightest
sheen, woven in and out and
through the web and woof OF
our lives made richer the entire
fabric of our being, and whose
breaking leaves a rent so sad
that only the shuttle of potable
gold forged in the suns red
heart by Divine force can mend
and weld again. Miss Rookie
was one of those to whom the
name Of "gentlewoman" applies
so aptly and forcefully. OF a
"spirit so gentle and quiet that
it blushed at its own motion, "
vet with that dignity and self
possession that command res.
pect, and that force of charac-
ter which, without proclaiming
it's presence, makes itself felt
and appreciated in no uncertain
manner or extent. She was 8
Christian. Of this there is nc
doubt, unless Christianity be
false. If there is virtue II
truth, sincerity, obedience .te
command, devotion to duty
charity and love of the Master
l-if there is reward for those
whose lives are filled with these
then has her life, though short
been a tremendous success ant
her future an assured triumph
Miss Rookie was the eldes
daughter of Rev and Mrs I
tRooke and was in the prime o
Young womanhood. Her mind
naturally bright, was wei
