TOLSTOl ENTERS LONG REST.
In Sorrow Many Gaze Upon Features
of Russia's Great Author.

Astapova, Nov. 20.-Peasants all
day long passed through the death
chamber, hung with pine boughs,
where Tolstoi lies. Many of them
knelt beside his bier. The silence at
times was broken by Orthodox chants
for the repose of the soul Of the dead.
Countess Tolstoi sat beside the body
for hours, often kissing the face.
The light Of the world is out" she
said repeatedly. She left the hut
only to attend mathis II. the school
chapel, expecting that requiem
would be SING. When informed that
thi was not permitted she tainted.

played as a child and where the peas

The funeral will be held on Tuesday,
and the police have been modified
to prevent public demonstration.
Awaited Tidings.
The crowd that gathered around
the hut where Tolstoi lay dying, in
&he early Sunday morning hours,
awaited breathlessly the verdict of
Dr. Thtachurovsky and Dr.. Usoff, two
'6f the leading heart specialists of
Moscow, who had been hurriedly
called into consultation. The for

SAM KIRKLAND mot GUILTY"
Sensational Murder Case Concluded
ut Camden Last Friday.

Camden, Nov. 18.-Sam r. Kirk
land, who yesterday was placed on
trial for his life, Is tonight free
man, jury this afternoon having
declared that he was not guilty Of the
murder CT his wife.
Brought under unusual circum-
stances, the case against kirkland
was perhaps unique in the courts of
this State. The man was charged
with having entered into suicide
pact with his wife, who, on the even
Ing of March "a last, set fire to her
self and WIS burned to death.
BY the hand Of Providence, only
eleven men decided the fate of Kirk
land. The twelfth Juror was taken
sick last night and to-day was una
Bile to attend court. Both the solici-
tor and counsel for defendant agreed
to go on with the case, in spite of
the absence Of one Of the jurors. So
that, to the verdict Of mot guilty."
brought in at 2 o'clock this after
noon, there lacks the assent or dis
sent Of one juror. Yet this in no
manner affects the verdict, since, un-
der the rules of practice, case may
proceed by consent with less than
the required number of jurors, when
an emergency such as came np here
to-day arises.
Silent Witness.
The turning point in the trial was
the cross-eXamination this morning
of Miss Mary Kirkland, the 22-year-
old daughter of the accused. She
testified that she told Mrs Kirkland,
on the Sunday before her death, that
she expected to become mother.
The defense asserted that this con
fessiou preyed upon the mothers
mind to such an extent that she re-
solved on self-destruction rather
than bear tie knowledge Of her
daughters shame An infant, which
Miss kirkland Identified as her child
was in the court room.
Ihe lawyers for the defense ridi-
culed the alleged suicide pact and in
their arguments declared that when
Mrs. Isabelle Kirkland killed herself,
she was simply seeking surcease from
sorrow and was not carrying out an
agreement with her husband. The
State had no evidence that kirkland
had ever abused his wife. The de-
fense claimed that her daughters
ishame and her own i'll health moved
Mrs. kirkland to commit suicide.
1,he defendants lawyers limited that
the father of Miss Kirkland's child
might have an ulteEior motive in
wanting Sam Kirkland out of the
way.
Following the testimony of Miss
kirkland, the State rested. The de-
PENDANT attorneys, after a consulta-
ton with the defendant, said they
would offer no testimony. There
were eloquent appeals in the argu-
ments of counsel

able and interesting meeting. The
feature OF the day was an address bv
MRS. Clinkscales, of Anderson. II is
10 De regretted that comparatively
so few OF our town women heard the
speaker, as the address was one of
the finest things 1t has been the nriv-
llege OF the writer to hear in many
a day. The subject, "The Christian
Mothers Stewardship" was handled
IN a mastery fashion, so to sneak
and contained thought for serious
study by the parents present. Your
correspondent would like to give y
more extended account of it but for
lack OF space. The business sessions
were full OF interest, the presiding
oiilcer, Mrs. ID. A. Perritt, making q
most efficient officer. An elegant
luncheon was served on the church
grounds, tables being provided, which
we're heavy with delicacies and sub
stantial refreshments for the inner
man.
Considering the fact that Seneca
was beaten in the recent relay race
