MUELLER PLEADS
GUILTY OF MURDER
Slayer of Fiancee WeakenS
and AbandonS Story
of Accident.

BALTIMORE, June 15.-John Joseph
Mueller, accused of the murder of his
fiancee, Miss Regina Reed, on March
s last, pleaded guilty when brought to
trial in the criminal court today.
Judge StoCkbridge ordered that the
States witnesses be heard in order to
determine the degree of the mans
guilt and the punishment merited
The plea of guilty was a surprise to
the public and to the prosecution. as ii
was believed Mueller would fight for
his freedom on the ground that he ac-
cidentally killed the girl
on stormy night in March. Mueller
went for a car ride and took the girl
from the car, at a lonely point in the
woods at Mt. Washington. Ten minutes
later when her body was found in the
snow, the man said she had been killed
by highwayman. The next day Muel-
Ter admitted that his first story was un-
true.
He then said he saw a shadow and
thinking il was robber shot at it. The
bullet struck the girl. He could not ac-
count for a second bullet which ne had
also fred into her head.
It was believed, however, that he was
going to stick TO this story at the trial
and the State was taken unawares bv
the weakening of the murderer The no.
lice department had woven a net of
strong circunstantial evidence around
the fellow and he is thought to have
preferred TO take chances with a gull
ty' plea than try TO fight for acquittal.

The MAN OF EXCUSES is as valueless as the veri-
form appendix is said to be. The man with the
cuse has been earth since time began. President
Lincoln had to battle with many men of many ex-
cuses. 1t is a wonder his patience not entirely
exhausted before the right general in the person OF
u. S. Grant appeared upon the scene. Gen. Grant
never offered any excuses from the day he was ap-
pointed Colonel of Illinois regiment of volunteers
until the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee at APP
pomatox. At Forts Doneson and Henry when his
troops we're too cold and hungry almost to pull a
trigger he called upon Gen. Simon B. Buckner for
the unconditional surrender of his troops he would
Immediately move upon his works. That message
electrified the North and stupefed the South. He
was not man of excuses.
At Vicksburg Gen. Grants only baggage was a
tooth brush and his rations of the most
kind. He slept under trees and did not change his
clothes for week-but he forced the evacuation OF
Vioksbulg and offered no excuses.

THE world is full of heroes. Upon the
common way,
With naught their feats to herald, you
meet them every day
With naught to mark their passing, with
naught to show their place,
Save squaring of the shoulders and
smile upon the face.
Aye, many least suspected, the stranger
and the friend,
Ger hill and down, midst lea and town,
their steady paths they wend,
Who, wounded sore, encompassed beyond
the worlds relief,
Have bravely couched their lances and
won their tilt with grief
No little thing, oh, brothers, to bear the
cheerful part
When grief, with fang relentless, is gnaw-
ing at the heart.
No little thing, oh, brothers, to grip
battle through
With this the grim old spectre whose
strength is ever new.
There's scarce another hero but someway
is he known;
There's scarce another victor that wears
his bays alone;
And of the true and valiant [ count him
proven chief
Who fronts the world, unshrinking, and
wins fight with grief.

Some Hints on Verse-Making.
BY .ANGLicUS.

These suggestions are offered by
a beginner to beginners, and not in
any patronizing spirit. Should
any remark appear to have par
ticularly barbed point, it may be
we'll to remember that the writer
is conscious of many defects in his
own verse, and will be delighted to
have those to which he is blind
pointed out to him.
In view of the general interest
taken in verse by, at any rate, the
contributors to this paper, a few
remarks on what constitutes rhyme
may not be amiss. By far the
most rhymes are composed of sim
gle syllables, though it must lot
be forgotten that two and three
syllables may be rhy1ned with per-
feet propriety. The conditions are
simple; all sounds after the initial
consonant or consonants must be
absolutely similar to the ear. Thus,
HOME rhymes with FOAM or COMB,
but it does not rhyme with KNOWN
or with COME. BEER rhymes with
REVERE (if that's any use) but not
with FEARED or with E'ER. CHORUS,
as Ayiso reminded me, does not
rhyme with FOR US, because of the
different quality of the O. All that
is necessary to insure making a
perfect rhyme is to know exactly
how the words to be used are pro-
nounced. It should be remem-
bered that a near-rhyme is often
more irritating to the ear than no
rhyme at all, and that there is moth
ing which so conclusively stamps
the budding versifier as an anna
teur. True it is that the great
poets frequently used imperfect
rhymes; but never those in which
the final consonants are dissimilar.
In one poem of Shelley, for in
stance, he rhymes OUT and ROOT,
CARE and ARE, THOUGHT and NOT,
GoNDoLA and WAY; but. one may
search in vain through his works
for a rhyme like DAWN and MORN
CAME and VAIN or DREAM and SEEMS.
lOf course, in rhyming two or three
syllables together greater latitude
must be permitted; but the rules
cannot be too strictly followed by
a beginner.
i In dealing with rhyme, an at
tempt may also be made to avoie
the use of technical terms
Rhythm depends on accent, ano
accents may be strong or weak. 1
is good plan to take stanza O.
your own or somebody else's verse
and mark the strong and weak &C
