One Man Released.

Greenwood, Feb. 21.-D. M.
Cheeks who was arrested yesterday
with another white man by the name
of Stanley, who was supposed to be
wanted for several crimes, has been
released. The detective who it is said
has been following Stanley, who was
arrested at the Grendel mill, arriv-

and upon questioning Stanley closely
he weakened some. But the detective
says that he is not the man wanted

the man he is searching for. He ad-
vised the officers to hold Stanley as
he expects later developments.

Confesses Murder of Eight Infants

New York, Feb. 24.-The mystery
of eight deaths of babies in the
Brooklyn nursery and infants hos
pital was solved last night, the po-
lice say, by the confession of Wini-
fred Ankers, kitchen woman at
the hospital, admitting that she
placed oxalic acid in the babies milk
bottles.
The alleged confession was tbtain-
ed by police detective after two
hours detention of the woman who
had been under surveillance since
autopsies developed the probability
that the infants had been poisoned.
Saturday night after the bottles
had been prepared for the babies, y
the police version of the confession
runs, 81 put two or three drops of
oxalic acid in the bottles. I did not
do it with intent to kill the babies,
but l wanted to get square with the
nurses who we're my, enemies"
The police believe the Ankers
woman is demented. Her story they
regard as true, however, and it was
officially stated that she would be
arrested on charge of homicide to-
morrow. 1t was considered advls-
able to leave her at the hospital to-
night under guard.
Winifred Ankers is "a years old.
She came to the hospital last July
with her infant, and, after placing
the baby in the care of the hospital
found work in the kitchen. She had
been regarded as phlegmatlc sort
of character, but occasionally dis
played her temper, complaining OF
the small pay and poor food she said
she received.
Suspicion was not directed toward
her until four of the babies had died
Sunday and Monday. With the
death of fifth baby an autopsy was
performed and microscopic examina-
ton indicated the presence of oxallc
acid or some similar ifritant.
When visited by the police offl-
GERS the young woman was told it
would be necessary to remove her
baby to some other hospital and she
thereupon made the alleged confes-
sion.

"UNINSTRUCTED," SAYS TILLN1AN
Gives Advice in Choosing Delegates
from South Carolina.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Tillman to-day made the following
statement:
In view of the fact that am a
member of the Democratic national
committee and have been since 1892,
and have attended every national
convention except that at Denver,
during the last 20 years, it may not
be improper for me to express my
views on the coming convention at
Baltimore.
''I believe the South Carolina del
egation at the convention should go
uninstructed, as far as candidates are
concerned; that has been the custom
with our people so long that it is al
most a rule. Let the State conven-
ton select good, representative men
and instruct them to look over the
field and determine what candidate
they will support, by ballot among
themselves, and the chairman can
announce the results. In this way
the State will WELD an influence
which would be impossible if each
delegate should vote his individual
preference.
sBut am more concerned lest
the fight on local issues shall result
in embittering the situation in the
State more than it now is. State
politics should not govern the selec-
ton of delegates and it would be un-
fortunate if the delegates to Balti-
more are elected to do any one
mans bidding; in other words, we do
not want Blease delegation, Jones
delegation or a Tillman delegation,
but a delegation alive to the best in
terests of the Democratic party and
that only. We have, in my opinion,
the best chance to elect Democratic
president since the war. I never re-
garded Cleveland's administration as
Democratic and I do want to live long
enough to see Democratic president
inaugurated. If we make no mis-
take in the nomination, we are bound
to win

Contributes to Conscience Fund.

Columbia, Feb. 21.-An employe
of the dispensary in 1900 stole one
pint of rye whiskey, and to ease his
troubled conscience, which hasn't let
him rest since the deed was commit
ted, he wrote letter to Gov. Blease
confessing his sin, and enclosed 81
bill as a contribution to the "consci-
ence fund" for the pint of liquor
which he filched from the State. The
governor returned the money to the
man, telling him that he hoped his
sin had been forgiven, and that he
should put the dollar to some good
purpose. The letter came from Green
vile, the man being an employe of
cotton mill. Leaving out the name,
the letter is as follows:
I'm the year 1900 I was employed
by the State, working in the dispen-
sary. While I was working there I
stole one pint of rye whiskey. I was
out in sin, but the dear Lord has for
given me for it. I want to make it
right with the State, and I feel like
YOU are the one to confess it to. May
the Lord bless you. I will send you
81 to pay for it. I am poor man,
working at the cotton mill for a liv-
ing. I have a wife and five children.
I am poor, but I am rich. I am will
ing to suffer anything on earth for
my Saviour. May Gods richest bless
ings fall upon you. Hoping to hear
from you soon."

the State Equal Suffrage Association of
the District, declared herself much pleased
with the results of the election where
equal suffrage was at stake. She said
that she believed the adoption of wom-
ans suffrage in Michigan would have
much influence in bringing about vic
tories in other states.
Miss Elsie Hill, president of the College
Equal Suffrage League of the District,
and daughter of Representative EbeneZer
j. Hill of Connecticut, republican, who
was defeated for reelection in the gen.
eral democratic landslide. said that
while she was disappointed because of
the defeat of the republicans, she was
much pleased with the victory of wom-
ans suffrage, which meant a permanent
step forward in civilization.
Before the election women could vote in
six states, which have a total of thirty
seven electoral votes, as follows: Cali
fornia 13: Colorado. q; Washington, Z;
Idaho. 4;.Utah, 4, and Wyoming, 3. Their
