that move In and about through the
plot. and in many respects II is an ideal
type of the drama. The story, while
simple in the extreme. is yet full to
repletion of boundless complications.
Briefly, ii Is this. Susan Cambett, a
young American girl Of good family,
has been married at period seven
years prior TO the beginning of the
story 20 a young British naval man
whose ship had visited New York. Tn
fortunately, the young man had mys-
teriously disappeared on the night of
his marriage ana during the intcrNen-
ing period Susan had prosecuted a
search for her young man.
She had recently been attending a
school in France. and there she had
formed the acquaintanceship of an
American heiress, Miss Robina Penni-
cuique. Finally, her money having
come to an end. Susan answers an adj
vertisement from the little inn IN
Wales to labor as a chambermaid and
on her arrival there she meets Miss
Pennicuiquc who has run away from
her chaperon. The heiress recounts a
Irritation she has had with young
man, and 1t is then discovered that the
nirtee. so to speak, is on his way to
the inn. Robina believes he has fol-
lowed her there, and with view To
discovering whether he doves her for
herself alone. or for her money it is
arranged that the two girls shall
change places Lord Rathbone arrives
and Immediately recognizes the sup
posed chambermaid as the young wo-
man he had met on the steamer a
! day or two previously. He is aston

then he discovers the supposed heir
ess. There is something vaguely ia
lmfliar about her, and he begins to fall
| deeply in love. Rohina. the real Ro-
bina views this with alarm. and then
the real Susan tells her that Lord
Rathbone is her long missing husband
There are series of complications
following this, but these are happily ad-
justed before the final curtain.

a speech of great yigor, that Pitt, swathed in fannels, endeavored to procure the repeal of the obnoxious and unconstitutional Stamp Act. In ter, who accused him of exciting se- dition in America, he said, Sir, I have been charged with giving birth to sedition ill America. Sorry 1 am to have the liberty of speech in this House imputed as a crime. But the imputation will not deter me; it is a liberty I mean to exercise. The gen. tleman tells us that America is ob- stnate, that America is almost in re- bellion. I rejoice that America has resisted.' The House started at these words, but Pitt continued firmly, If they had submitted, they would have voluntarily become slaves. They have been driven to madness by injustice. My opinion is that the Stamp Act should be repealed, absolutely, total

 with almost prophetic accuracy the final result. In the course of one of his speeches in our behalf he said,

21 YEARS FOR
 STEVE BUTLER
Negro Who Murdered Charles Finney and Beat Negress Unmercifully. Will Not Hang.

After setting aside the verdict of a jury, which found Steve Butler. a ne- gro murderer, guilty and fixed his punishment to be death by hanging, Judge \. B. Grace yesterday permitted the negro to plead guilty to murder in the second degree and sentenced him to the penitentiary for twenty one years
 This action was taken at the request of his attorneys. Hunt and Toney. There is some doubt as to the sanity of Butler. He shot and killed Char les Finney another negro, on the Dalton place some months ago and af- ter killing him made Mabel Poole. a negress, assist him to bury the body iD a cotton field. Butler left this coun- ty after the tragedy and compelled the woman to accompany him, beat ing her severely for three weeks, tell ing her he would kill her if she told of the murder. The murder was re yealed when farm hand plowed Fin ney's body from the ground. Butler was jailed and the woman he had mis- treated was the chief witness for the State at his trial

Dear Sir:-Your favor of March

ing, services, and qualifications of
Senator Kittredge as senator and as
to whether he has worked in harmony
with the president, is at hand.
In reply ! desire to say that so far
as ! know he has supported all the
prominent measures recommended by
the administration. He was particu-
larry active in helping to secure pas
sage of the railway rate bill, and ON
that subject was entirely in harmony
with the president, and so far as
know he has the full confidence of
both the president and Secretary Taft.
may say that on all great public
questions he has always been ON the
side or what l term reform and on
the side OF the people. He sits quite
near me In the senate chamber and
usually confers with me about public
questions when they come up for con-
sideration, and hardly know of an in
stance where he has not assumed the
same attitude and taken the same
course on public matters that have.
In fact, | have always felt that |
could rely upon him for help to secure
the passage of any measure that
deemed for the best welfare of the
people. Senator Kittredge Is enc Of
