Accused Certain Everything
Will Come Out All Right"
She Says.

BINGHAM, MASS. March 2O.-Re9r
Admiral Joseph G. Eaton, L. S. N, re-
tired. who died under mysterious cir
cumstances at Assinippi, Mass, on
March 8. was murdered. and his widow,
Mrs Jennie May Harrison Eaton, to-
day was arrested as his slayer.
District Attorney Barker, who has
had charge Of the investigation Of the
Eaton mystery. made the definite dec
laration that Rear Admiral Eaton had
been poisoned to death. Search now
is being made to find where the fatal
drug was purchased
After her arrest at her home Mrs.
Eaton continued to maintain the com
posture which has marked her demeanoc
since the violent death Of her hus-
band. She asked for time to make her
toilet before being taken to the court.
and when permission was granted she
spent some time arranging her hair
and gown.
Mrs Eatou's arrest came as the eli
max Of a sensational and mysterious
tragedy. which has stirred New Eng
land greatly The remarkable absence
OF btDolltD AT the tltilt OF utI arrest
completed the evidence OF an abnor-
NAL nature which Mrs. Eaton has
shown since her husband met his
death. First she professed deep grief.
then she grew calm and Indignantly
denied that any suspicion could rest
upon her. and finally she seemed to
lose all interest in the case and went
about her affairs completely upper
turbed.
Poison Fact Long Known.
While Mrs. Eaton was being arraIgn-
ed before Judge Pratt in police coury,
District Attorney Barker made the fol-
lowing statement to the press:
Mrs Eaton is not in the inquest
room to-day. She IS now under arrest
for the murder Of her husband. Rear
Admiral Joseph G. Eaton did not die
a natural death This fact was com
municated to me March 10 by Prof W.
II Whitney. Of Harvard. in prelim-
mary verbal report.
This fact has been known to Off

time. The poison found was arsenic

PRESIDENT
Assistant Secretary of State
Wilson Resigns Because the
White House Ignored Him.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Assist-
ant Secretary of State Huntington Will
son resigned to-day. The resignation
was accepted Immediately by President
Wilson. The Chinese policy as outlined
by President Wilson in his recent state
ment is given as the reason for the
resignation,
Mr. Wilson also objected to the aC-
ton of President Wilson in giving his
statement on the Chinese question to
the newspapers without taking the act
ing secretary into his confidence. His
letter to the president read in part:
When / consented, at the request OF
Mr. Bryan and in Difference to what

Linters Very Hiah.

ElnterS very Hlgn,
Included in the statistics for 1912
are.
Llnters 6o5,7O4 bales: Sea Island
cotton, 23,641 bales; round bales, 81
FPS Round bales are counted in the
estimate as half bales
The average weight of the bale for
1912 is 507s pounds as compared with
5044 pounds for 1911 and 5O1.7 for
sl910.
Cotton not vet ginned is included
IN the total estimate. and is placed by
g'nners and delinters as 129,172 bales.
"A dogfall" is the expression of At

We're some few authorities in the trade
who looked for 14.25O.OOO, or even more.
There were as many who looked for
less But the majority of well inform
ed cotton men looked for 100000.
The only surprise in the estimate is
the great increase in inters, which
this year are placed at sos, 7O4 bales. a
startling jump from 1911. Spot deal

PLANTATION.
Analysis of Figures.
Analysis of the figures by states
shows big crops west of the Missis-
sppi: Texas with nearly 100000 bales
ana Oklahoma with a million. When
the crop west of the river is heavy,
..nterS show a great increase. and the
diminished crop in the east has very
little effect on linters.
The Texas cotton has a fuzzy seed,
which will not gin clean. Again. in
Texas and the western belt generally,
gins are larger, and the cotton is not
as carefully cleaned of its staple. The
result is a greater yield for the de-
.HteFs. In the eastern belt. gins are
smaller. ginning is much closer and
me black seed cotton naturally is
cleaner of lint.
Besides, for the first so days of last
ear cotton was ginned while not well
cried out. The staple can not be
sFpped as clean from damp cotton,
Tor it viii stick to the seed. This was
another factor increasing the linters
ED.
Georgia cotton yields about 80 pounds
" INT to the bale of cotton, while in
"A3s the yield is 80 pounds of lint to
the bale
The Georgia crop is shown in the
ma estimate at something larger than
'-"AE leaders in trade had expected.

Plo Hunts Rabbits,

]. H. Landlord of Lewes, Md. vii
lage just across the lower Delaware
line, has a pig that hunts rabbits and
joins in chases with it's owners dogs
This pig is a thoroughbred of the
Chester County White variety and Ia
known as Sir Grunter. 1t first saw
the light last August, and was allowed
to run around the Landlord home
stead with pair of rabbit dogs, and il
followed the dogs to the woods and
hunted with them.
When the rabbit season opened and
the rabbit dogs went on a hunt the pig
followed. Mr.. Landlord tried to faster
up the animal, but in vain. Finally he
gave the pig its liberty and permitted
1t to follow the dogs at will.
Mr.. Landlord says he will endeavol
to train the pig so that it will hun
without dogs.

OriuIn of the Menu,

The menu, so indispensable to the
ordering of a satisfactory dinner today,
had It's origin in the twelfth century
the first person to use It being Prince
Henry of Brunswick. At large ban
quet he was seen to consult from time
to time long paper at his side, ap
parently attached to the under side
Of the table cloth and rolled back
One inquisitive guest at length made
bold to inquire what study he might
be engaged in at that apparently un
seasonable time, and Prince Henry
explained that It was q paper on which
he had noted down the details of hi
dinner and that he wanted to be SURE
that all his instructions had been car
ried out
The simplicity Of the idea strucl
the fancy of the guests and from tina
time the menus became the fashion
In its primitive form 1t was of sucl
dimensions as to resemble a wall maj
and was given a position at each en-,
of the table, the guests at the banque
being permitted to consult it.-Hal

Improved Electric llqhts.

Since 1887 the improvement in the
electric has been very marked in two
directions-increasing efficiency and
life of the lamp, and the reduction in
the cost Of current 1t Is probably not
realized by the average consumer Of
electricity that whereas the first car
bon fllament lamps. supplied with en-
ergy at about 25 cents per unit and
consuming watts per (British) can
dlepower, gave only 200 candle hours
for 20 cents, with the best type Of
drawn-wire tungsten filament lamp to
day, supplied with energy at cent
per unit and consuming one and one
quarter watts per candle-power. the
same sum Of money gives 2.40o can
dle-hours.

FEMININE MoDEsTY SHOWN UP

One Fifth Provoeation and
One-Flfth Humbup.

A lady philanthropist, who is great
" interested In a new hospital for
women, lays stress on the necessity
for q complete star Of women not
only as attendants and nurses. but
also ss physicians. Her reasons are
worthy Of some attsution. remarks

women are 20 much more modest than

shrink from confiding their intimate

often allow their small ailments to
crow into large ones because they
cannot bring themselves to consult q
physician Of the opposite sex.
Probably this is true. We have
good authority for believing that
Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do. Idleness always
means familiarity between the sexes,
and familiarity brings a lowering OF
barriers and relaxation of restraints
Feminine mod4ty is funny thing
anyway. 1t maybe said periodically
that 1t is one Of the great facts Of life
that do not exist Most women have
that kind Of modesty that loves to be
