MUST SERVE SENTENCE FOR
 SECOND DEGREE MURDER Supreme Court Rules that Home O'Neal Must Serve Term in Peni- tentiary for Killing Man
 in Newport Saloon

The Supreme Court has decided that Home O'Neal, a young man of Newport, must serve a term in the penitentiary, to which he had been sentenced by the Jackson circuit court on conviction of second degree mur- der for the killing of a man named Wilks in a Newport saloon.
 The murder was unprovoked and wholly unjustifiable, and the only de- fense offered was insanity. Testi- mony was introduced that O'Neal had been a hibutal drunkard since he was about fourteen years old, and that his mind had become diseased to the ex- tent that he was insane, and was not criminally responsible.
 The following instruction, asked by the defense was refused by the court. and to this exception was saved :: Settled insanity, which becomes fixed and established as a diseased condi- tion of the mind, produced by habit ual intoXication, affects criminal res possibility in the same way as insani- ty produced by any other cause"
 The Supreme Court holds: "The in- struction given was really more fa- vorable, in some respects, than the law justifes, but it was we think, sui ficient to convey to the minds of the jury the idea expressed in appellants instruction which was refused. It told the jury, in effect, that if appel lent was insane as defined in the in- struction, and that his reason was de- throned to the extent of making him incapable of knowing right from wrong, he would be excused for com hitting an unlawful killing while un- der the influence of intoxicants."

THE fire waste in the United
States, owing to the failure to build
in this country as securely against the

the rebuilding of many structures and

Prince Won Buelow's references to

Germany in one of the chapters of the
book on Germany Under the Reign of
William H." in which he deals with
German policy, show how much the
former imperial chancellor valued the
friendship of the American govern
ment and people. He says, in part:
During the Spanish-American war
portion of German public opinion
displayed strong sympathy for Spain,
and this was not agreeable to the
United States. The manner in which
incidents that occurred between the
German and American fleets at Manila
were made the most of in a portion of
the English and American press also
cast cloud over the relations Of Ger

to the form of tentative treaty draft

before the Danish foreign Office await

ments to the original text, which al
ready have been agreed upon in prin-
ciple. The new treaty makes no res
ervations whatever in the subjects to
be submitted to arbitration, not even
questions of national honor being ex-
cluded. 1t differs from the general

which have SO far failed to receive

for many years the leading politician
of Denmark is dead. For nineteen
years, from 1875 to 1894, he was. pre-

trup dissolved the chambers when
they refused to pass his budgets and
the finances of Denmark were kept
in order by means of provisional laws.
During practically the whole of his
term of Office the majority in the rigs
dag was against him. Estrup did
much for the development of the DAN
ish railroad system and for the plan
ming of the splendid roads now to be
found in Denmark. An attempt to as
sassinate him was made on October
Fl, 1885, and, as this was believed to
have been committed by a political OPP
ponent the rigsdag was dissolved the
next day. In 1900 Estrup was made
member of the upper house. He was
cordially loved by his friends and as
cordially hated by his political enc
mics; but they all admitted his lofty
ideals and his ability as a practical
statesman.
