no real difficulty between Graves and
Clliey at any time.
Their seconds, the Hon. George w
Jones, delegate from Wisconsin Ter
ritory. for Mr.. Cilley, and the Hon.
Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, for Mr..
Graves, arranged the details of the
duel, which was fought with rifles at
distance of about ninety yards,
near the road to Marlborough, in
Maryland. Mr.. Wise experienced
some difficulty in securing a rife for
Mr.. Graves use, but finally succeed
ed In borrowing Mr.. Rives' Derringer
rife, which is now in the section of
gunnery of the museum.
The duel was scheduled for 8 D. m.
on February "a, 1898, and the two
parties met near the boundary line
of the district, on the Marlborough
road. Mr.. Cilley was accompanied by
his second, Mr.. Jones; his friends,
Mr.. Bynum, of North Carolina, and
Col. James w. .Schaumberg, and by
DR.. Duncan, of Ohio, as his surgeon.
Mr.. Graves was attended by Mr.. Wise
his second, by his friends, Senator
Crittenden and Mr.. Menefee, of Ken
lucky, and DR.. Foltz, of the City of
Washington. The ground was mark
ed off and the contestants took their
places with rifles cooked and triggers
set. Mr.. Jones gave the woro Mr..
Cilley fired first, and Mr.. Graves O
second or two after him, but both
riissed.
Despite the efforts of their friends
to adjust the matter after each had
been exposed to the fire of the other,
no satisfactory arrangement could be
made, and the parties reassumed
their positions and exchanged shots
again, also without effect. Still being
unable to agree after further argu-
ment, their rifles being loaded, they
went to their positions the third
time. This time they fired very near
ly together. Mr.. Cilley was shot
through the body and expired few
moments later.
The congressional committee
found Mr.. Graves guilty of breech
of privileges in the House, but held
that Mr.. Cilley had remained within
his rights. They recommended the
expulsion of Mr.. Graves from the
House, and that the seconds and
friends be censured. Such is the story
of the Derringer rifle now to be seen
In the National Museum.

In the cemetery at Juarez. The body
of Akers was inferred here late to-
day.
The Duran brothers died cursing
Americans. Bernado appealed for
mercy on behalf of his brother, Fed

''It is unjust to kill two OF us for
one American" he said. 1T is giving
two eyes for one tooth. l am willing

but my brother ought to be allowed
to live"
The bullets OF the firing squad
killed Federico. but Bernardo was
still conscious after he fell and the
officer commanding the firing squad
gave him the mercy shot" thru the
head.
Mexicans Buried.
The bodies of both Mexicans were
buried Immediately, but that of Der.
nardo, who confessed to having fir
ed the shots that killed Akers, was
exhumed to satisfy a doubt concern
ing the identity of the the slayer.
Douglas Downs, an American, who
was with Akers, seeking stolen cows,
and who escaped the bullets Of Mex
leans declared last night after see
ing Bernardo Duran the prisoner
was not the man who shot Akers.
Downs was at the Juarez cemetery
when the face of the executed man
was exposed late today and admitted
that he had been mistaken last
night.
The certification by American off,
cials who were with Downs to see
the slayer had been duly executed
served tonight to calm feeling at
Ysleta where Akers and Downs lived.
Authorities had feared that the feel
ing OF resentment in Ysleta might
result in trouble.
Three Mexicans previously arrest
ed in connection with cattle-steallng
at Ysleta were removed to jail in Ell
Paso for protection.
Women Attend Execution.
The execution was attended by
fifty Americans, of whom a number
were women.
The first automobile carrying spec
tators reached the cemetery shortly
after 8 a. m. It was greeted by a
lone sentry who growled that "the
prisoner had been shot and buried"

America Not England's Cousin

1.-THE tradition of Anglo-Saxon origin
was not probably true for the majority
of our people after the middle of the
eighteenth century," says Prof Max
Farrand of Yale in The New Republic,
and goes on to say that; 'The COM
posite American type originated in the
pre-revolutonary period; it was more
fully developed in the generations fol-
lowing; and while the modern product
may represent a mingling of some
what different strains, he still remains
one of that 'promiscuous breed - $
now called Americans
'In view of these things it seems
odd that one should still see. indeed
quite frequently in the present crisis,

or to our blood relationship with the
English. By our language and insti-
buttons, by our traditions and ideals,
we have much in common with the
British, much more than with any
other nation; but blood relations of

a people, are not"

Following the sudden new aspect
of things Cora Temple could not
define her own feelings. Ever
since she and David had left Col
ony Park under the cloud Carter
Brett spread over David's repu-
tation the Temples had lived in
anxiety and strain.
Bravely had Cora borne her
part. Steadfastly had she kept her
belief in David's innocence Of
blame for the factory collapse.
cheerfully had she returned to sac
rifice and plain living. Well had
she done her share of mixing"
with the awful Rourkes and Dom
nelys. But now, when suddenly
the light had come in the form Of
Bretts proof that David was guilt
less of the factory disaster, Cora
realized how much she longed for
the return of success and pros
perity.
She was alone one evening, Da-
vid being in conference with Hart
ley and other leaders of the Cit
liens party, when Beth Woodford
called.
"Oh, Iknow you didn't expect me-
she dubbed. you think L left you
alone in your adversely, only to
come again when things are bright.
Well, maybe you're right, Cora. 1
do love success.
Everybody does" said Cora, her
mind full of her own perplexity.
That's why I'm feeling kind of
sick over David's determination not
to go back to Colony Park, but
to stay here and enter politics in
stead-some important office the
reform party wants to boost him
into"
What" squeaIed Beth. ''Not 90
back to Colony Park! Whatever is
David Temple thinking of Isn't
that just like him-aboslutely i'm
practical! Men are all alike-so
visionary. It's US women who are
practical. I always say"
Beth babbled her caustic little
plaitudes, Cora hardly listening.
The mere fact that Beth Woodford,
selfish and prone to snap judg-
ment as she invariably was, felt
it a disaster for them not to re-
turn to Colony Park in itself made
Cora begin to think it was the
wrong thing to do.
You know, Beth" she broke into
the middle of the sentence, ruth
less, I'VE women so often see only
the immediate results of a thing
instead of the ultimate good.

DREAMTIME
Go Margaret.O

Go Margaret.)
By Bessie o. Brien Hundley.
The dearest little babe asleep in bed,
Two dimpled little hands upon the spread;
Two pretty little roguish eyes fast closed,
Two little naked eager feet exposed.
A loving mother hovers near in prayer,
But whispers lest she wake her babe so
fair,
While little baby mind that naught
defiles
Dreams happy dreams all wreathed in
sweetest smiles
Dreams happy dreams of fairies rose
clad bowers,
OF castles, jewels rare and wondrous
flowers!
And in this mystic hour of even-tide,
On gossamer wings of Fairies she does
ride
Does ride to Elfin land through perfumed
air
Where birds and sprites sing welcome
everywhere!
And such rare music floats over misty
stream,
AS fairies sing to children when they
dream.
And tender mother-love bends Ger and
prays
That fairy dreams of happy childhood
days
May cast their glory on this young life's
way
To greet eternal loves unending day.

The Conditions in Steel
Market Are Intensified
Over Same Date Last Year

Cleveland, o., December 27.-(special)
The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
say:
The old year is drawing to a close
with conditions similar to those of last
year, but intensified in some respects.
This week, as in the last week of 1915,
mills are overwhelmed with orders and
the pig iron market is extremely strong.
Trouble in making deliveries of raw ma
terials and finished products which was
beginning to be complained of a year ago
is now extremely serious. Many blast
furnaces are banked on account of slow
delivery of coal and coke and many
others have been slowed down so as to
reduce the amount of fuel consumed AT
finishing plants there is general COM
plant in regard to railroad service.

THE Conquest of Canaan" but there VIII
be many more who will pronounce TINS
splerdid picture, one of the really great
products of the day.
1t would be useless to give a synopsis
of the book which has been so widely
read and with which most of us are so
familiar, but it isn't useless to comment
upon the personnel of the cast, which is
of unusual size, presenting a great va
riety of character studies, each of which
is practically perfect in portrayal.
Edith Taliaferro, as Ariel Tabor, is a
heroine of witching charm, and her work
in the role an example of finished art
and powerful appeal. Jack Sheriff. gives
a performance as remarkable for its
strength as for it's natural effect. The
actors personality is completely merged
in that of the hero of the play. and Joe
Loudon lives on the screen as a positive
human reality whose griefs and joys are
shared to the full by the spectators. The
piece is in every way a triumph for the
principals and their support.
The lighting effects are very fine and
some particularly mellow and delicately
shaded tinting helps to complete the
beauty of several scenes, the camera
work throughout being faultless. With
it's unerring continuity, thrilling episodes
and wholesome appeal, 1.-The Conquest of
Canaan is one of the really big pictures
of the day.

beans, cover with cold water and soak
