Dear Sir-Your favor of December
rs has been duly received, and was
received as a proof of your friendly
partialities to me, of which | have so
often had reason to be sensible. NY
opinion was that the president of the
| United States should have been elected
| for seven years and forever ineligible
afterward l have since become sen
sible that seven years is too long to
be immovable, and that there should
! be a peaceable way of withdrawn
a man in miwday who is doing wrong
THE service for eight years, with a
power to remove at the end of the
| first four, comes nearly to my princi-
pie as corrected by experience, and it
| is in adherence to that that | deter
mined to withdraw at the end of my
second term. The danger is that the
indulgence and attachments of the
| reople will keep man in the chair
latter he becomes a dotard, that re-elec-
| ton through life shall become habit
ual, and election for life follow that
General Washington set the exampI
of voluntary retirement after eight
years l shall follow it, and few
more precedents will oppose the OBJ
stacle of habit to any one after a
while who shall endeavor to extend
his term.
Perhaps it NAV beget a disposition
to establish it by an amendment of the
constitution. | believe | am doing
right, therefore, in pursuing my prin-
ciple. l had determined to declare my
intention, but l have consented to be
silent on the advice of friends who
think it best not to put continuance
out of my power, in defiance of all
circumstances There is, however, but
once circumstance which could en-
gage my acquiescence in another cleo
ton, so-wit, such a division about Il
succession as might bring about Z.
monarchist But this circumstance IS
impossible. While, therefore, | shall
make no formal declarations to the
public of my purpose, have freely let
it be understood in private converse
ton. In this, l am persuaded your
self and my friends generally will an.
prove of my views; and should ! at
the end of a second term carry into
retirement all the favor which the
first has acquired, l shall feel the con-
ISOLATION of having done all the good
in my power, and expect with more
than cOmposure the termination of a
life no longer valuable to others or o.
! importance to myself"

Washington, May 21.-The senate
has passed the agricultural appropria

port, to pass a bill which had for its
object the granting of permission for

ton in this city of joint memorial
TO Maj. Archibald Butt and Francis d

mortal is to be paid for by private sub.
scription collected by friends of the

tanic.
There was no objection to memorial

pressed the opinion that so important
a matter should have the considera-
tion of one of the regular committees
( Senator Borah, of Idaho, expressed the
opinion that if government approval
was to be given to any memorial il
should be general in its scope and not
single out any one or two of the mer

MEYER ADMITS
HE FIRED THE
FIRST Shot
SOUGHT TO AVENGE insult
Dramatic Statement Made on
Stand

Macon, Ga, May 21.-Lep Meyers
dramatic statement to the jury featur-
ed his trial in the Bibb superior court
today for the murder of Mary Moore,
| a woman of the underworld. Meyer
admitted he fired the first shot during
The quarrel.
Amid flood of tears, and with a
broken voice, he declared: Gentle
men of the jury, l have told you the
facts, and | swear to you on the gray
hairs of my old mother and father
sitting there that l have told you the
| truth"
When he left the stand, and after
! the jury had gone out for few min
utes rest, his aged mother threw her
arms about him and wept over him.
This touching scene brought tears to
many eyes.
Lep Meyer did not spare his feel
ings in presenting his case to the
twelve men who will tonight decide
his fate He related in detail the in
suit that a man offered Miss Ray
Meyer over the telephone-an insult
that he went to Mary Moore's house
TO avenge, hoping to find the man
there. Throughout his statement his
voice quivered and great tears
splashed his cheeks. He received the
closest attention of the jury
The arguments began at 10:30
o'clock. Solicitor Matthews was the
first to address the jury, and he con-
fined himself largely to the law gov
ernfhgs the facts in the case. He con-
tended that after Lep Meyer had en-
tered Mary Moore's house and fired
into the ceiling of her room, while
she was still sitting in a chair she
had a legitimate right to procure a
PISTOL and protect herself. He said
that tbs act of the defendants had
led to an inexcusable murder.
Upon the conclusion of the solicitors
speech at II o'clock, Attorney An
drew w Lane made the first argu-
ment for the defense. He was ad-
dressing the jury when an adjourn
ment was taken for dinner. Imme-
diately upon his conclusion, Mr. Du.
pont Query spoke, and at o'clock
Mr. w. D. Mcneil began the final ar
gument. Each of the speakers were
allotted an hour and a half in which
to concMde their remarks.
Mr. Lane contended that the de-
PENDANT should be acquitted, arguing
that the killing was plainly a case of
justifiable homicide. He argued that
the main point in the case was
whether Mary Moore had her pistol
in hand before or after Lep Meyer
fired his second shot. He contended
that she had pointed the pistol before
the shot was fired and that in conse-
Quence her dying declaration was not
to be believed, as in it she stated that
she did not get the pistol until after
she fas shot.

NO TRAILY DRESSES
FOR WILEY'S BABY
John Harvey viii Wear Very
Few Clothes

Washington, May 21-John Harvey
Wiley, five days old, is to be a pure
fude and fresh air" baby, says his ia
Their, DR. Harvey w. Wiley the great
pure food advocate.
John Harve, named after has father
and his mothers father, is husky
baby, weigs ten pounds and is, of
course, the most wonderful child ever
born"
He is fine boy" DR.. Wiley ad
mitted, and then he told how John
Harvey is to be fed. He said:
AT first he will take natural food
from mis- mother, and it surpasses any
baby food that ever has been or ever
will be invented.
"A child should not be weaned until
he is fifteen or eighteen months old,
ond summer. Our baby will be wean-
ed a year from the first of next Sep
tember
"Of course, he will have some light
food before that time, but only lit
tie white of egg and Cruel. After he
begins to eat he will have cereals,
fresh meats. soft-boiled eggs, barley,
broth, starchy food in moderation and
fruit juice. He will not have fruit
until he is three years old and has all
his teeth.
Clothes Few and Simple.
"If we can obtain tuberculosis-germ
proof, perfectly clean cows milk, he
will be allowed to drink all he can.
From the very first our baby will
sleep in the open air, as God intended
all men to do. His little lungs will
be filled with life giving ozone, taken
fresh from Gods great outdoors, with
out being bottled in close rooms AMI
unhealthy mansions.
His clothes will be very few and
very simple. | do not intend our ba'
by shall ever wear trailing robes MANY
miles too long that torture and re.
tard the proper growth of infants
From the first he will be free to kicl
his feet and roll and tumble all h.
wants to.
"All the clothes must hang from the
shoulders, of course, and that cross o.
childhood, pins, to stick him and LAGER
ate his tender flesh will be conspicu
ously absent When he gets a little
older we will put him in rompers anC
sandals so his growing feet will have
a chance to develop properly.
Gle is to learn the virtues of waite
early in life. He is to drink lots o
it-not ice water, but water of tn,
temperature of the blood. Milk alst
should be given to children at bloot
temperature.
DR.. Wiley has started a bank ac
count and bought building and loa

MOTHER ORDERED TO PAY
Part of Bail Bond Which She Furnished
for Her Son.

Burlington, April 30.A hearing was
held yesterday in county court in the
case of State VS.. Emily Langlois, scire
facias proceeding brought by States At
torney Shaw to ascertain why Mrs. Lang
lois should not pay $1,000 bail declared
forfeited, which she furnished for her
sons appearance at recent term of
court, to answer TO the charge of per-
jury, Langlois not showing up. The
court decided to CHANGER the bail to
$40s, and ordered judgment against
Mrs. Langlois for that amount.
Although Langlois skipped out and
left his mother in the lurch, he was new
ertheless trailed to mining camp in
Canada and arrested, which caused the
state considerable expense, and the
amount assessed against Mrs. Langlois
will undoubtedly cover that part of the
case. Langlois himself is now serving 81
state prison sentence for his crime, which
was perjury committed in the probate
court, the respondent having falsifed as
to the amount he received for the sale
OF real estate in an estate of which he
was administrator.
