From these words and certain
other circumstances Paris has con-
structed a new version OF the Ian
feline tragedy. This theory IS that
Edwards was tortured by remorse
over the death OF his beautiful young
wife. and that TO make the only
amends IN his power he has left his
wealth and the jewels he had given
her to her most intimate friend. who
AZ one time expressed the greatest
aversion for him.

beautiful, and the most exquisite
feature OF her beauty lay IN her

The current explanation then is
that the only reparation the dying
man could imagine was 70 leave
her Jewels and his wealth 20 her
friend.
In order 20 understand this situa-
ton II is necessary to recall the

beautiful young actress. Mile. Ga

Mile. Colonna Romano is said 10
have been a great friend OF Lantel-
me. whose mysterious death gave
rise TO the most injurious reports
concerning her husband, reports that
led him to bring an action for libel
against one Paris newspaper.

The will then goes on to specify
various payments and pensions
which Edwards wishes her to make
out OF his estate.

and enigmatical comment on the

She was the daughter OF

He excused himself early in the
evening and went TO his cabin.
After a night OF singing and dane

consumed. Lantelme retired 20 her
own room and bolted the door. A
short time later. after l a. m, the
guests on the boat were aroused by
q woman's cry and the shouts OF
Edwards. who had broken in his
wife's door.
Lantelme had disappeared from
the boat. Her body was not recov-
cred until daylight. Many circum-
stances surrounding her death were
mysterious and others were shock
ing Her delicate body, clothed only
in a night garm snt. was kept tied by
a rope TO the stern OF the boat for
twenty-four hours. until the Prus-
sian authorities could perform an
autopsy.
At this time many conflicting re-
ports were sent 20 Paris, and as
the result OF one OF them Edwards
brought his libel suit. At this for
the first time Edwards and other
witnesses gave their account Of the
tragedy.
Upon what Is known as the Three

much conflicting testimony. What

Robert Owens, COL, committed to
Jail on Saturday night last by Justice
III. F.. Graves, charged with stealing a
suit of clothes from Robert Milton,
escaped from the county jail on Mon
day afternoon, about ) O'Clock.
Owens removed the bricks from
around window at the north end of
his cell, with the evident intention of
escaping that way, but upon finding
same protected by iron bars desisted
and took a brick with which he broke
the lock of an inner door, while the
jailer was absent down town. and also
evidently planned To knock him on the
head with a brick when he should
open the door to- pass in food or water.
Upon Mr.. Thompson's return, OWENS
requested pitcher of water, and when
Thompson went to open the door,
which Is think and very heavy, through
his weight against it, taking Thomp-
son of his feet and knocked him down
and before he recovered jumped
through the corridor window to the
ground, a distance of from IL to Il

field in the rear of the Jail. Thomp-
son claims to have caught the escap-

he could get down stairs and secure

Reply to Michael.

The Chaptico festival was certainly a
grand affair,
And according to promise,
Gabriel was right there;
The tables were all loaded down
With choice viands from everywhere:
But Michael's promised beefsteak
Was NOTION the bill of fare.
The ladies were right on the job,
And extended the glad hand,
And did the very best they could
To satisfy the inner man:
But Michael the Arch Angel must
To've been in disguise,
Because his promised greeting
Did not materialiZe.
Now Michael let me beg of you,
On the 9th of this month.
Come down to Oakley School Grove
And join our little bunch.
We want to- make our festival a
great success,
And cordially invite everyone from
far and near:
But we don't promise to have any
Beefsteak upon our bill o. fare.
Our tables will be loaded down
With viandS, both choice and rare,
But beefsteak we cannot make
At this time of the year.
So come and bring your friends along
Your husband or your wife,
Your best fellow or your sweetheart
And have the best time of your life.

Compared with wheat, the value Der
acre OF the hay crop in this State q
nigner and practically e~ual TO that
OF corn. yet the methods commonly EN-.
pioyed In producing the crop are no
different now from what they were SO
years ago.
AS result the yield Of the hay dur.
Ing this time has remained practically
the same while The quality IL anything
has deteriorated.
The remedy for this condition In
simple. II Is to be found In a change
OF cultural methods. Instead of seed.
Ing timothy In the fall with wheat. and
adding clover In the early spring, the
wheat should be seeded without tho
grass. and after harvest, the stubbles
should be plowed down and timothy
and clover seeded without a nurse
crop. There Is no better time for do.
Ing this than the latter part OF July
or early August In the mountain sec.
tons TO early September In the south
ern and eastern counties of the State
II the seeding cannot be done durins
or before early September, then the
clover should be left out as IL Is very
apt to winter kill II seeded later.
To be successful the land should b.
plowed as early as possible, and work
ed into a fine. firm seed bed. Wben
seeded under such conditions full
crops Of first class hay free from
weeds may be expected the followine
season. The yield will be enough
higher over seeding the old way. TO
pay for the extra labor In preparing
the land. What is more. the second
reason the crop win be much better
than IL IL had been seeded In wheat.
4 good rate of seeding is timothy. s
to IL pounds; red clover. 6 to 8 pounds
and red top. 2 to g pounds.
II red clover Is not doing well on
the farm then to pounds OF aisikc
clover should be substituted for tho
red clover
The seed may be mixed together
and sown through the grass seeding
attachment OF the wheat drill. or othei
devices for seeding grass. but the
stand of clover will be a little more
uniform IL II is sown separate. Tho
seed should always be covered lightly

The game of base ball on Thursday
last on the Leonard Hall diamond be-
tween Baden and Leonardtown, was a
we'll played and interesting contest,
and the result was in favor of ;he home
team by a score of Q to 2
The first inning looked blue for our
boys. for while the visitors managed
TO get man on the bases, Leonard
town struck in one, two, three order.
The Baden boys failed to score in
the second, while the home team got
busy with their bats and scored runs,
Henry Camalier sent bounder to the
pitcher which was too hot TO handle,
Quade went To first on balls, Colds
borough dropped one in front of the
plate and beat il out, Ross connected
with one of Chichester's shoots, and
the ball sailed over centre field fence.
but owing To a ground rule, insisted
on by the captain of the visitors, the
hit only Melted two bases, this, how
ever, did not affect the scoring as
Lynch followed with a hit scoring
Goldsborough and Ross.
In the third Leonardtown added
another run on a two Dagger by Henry
Camalier and a single by Harris Cam
alier, and scored their last run in the
fifth. The seventh turned out TO he the
lucky inning for the visitors, Chiches
ter was hit by the pitcher, c. Baden
ctruck out, Grayson Baden made a
two Dagger and Gwynn singled scoring
two runs.
In the field the home team had the
best of the argument, while the visitors
led at the bat, Camalier kept the hits
scattering and in the fifth pulled out
of a tight hole with three on base.
Lynch while allowing two third strikes
get through him caught a good game
and early demonstrated that there was
to be no stealing. Henry Camalier
led the home team at the bat, having
3 singles and double, scoring ; of
Leonardtown's six runs. For the Wis
