Amen'today. "We trfed to show them their mis? take, hut they would not hear It. We have received a telegram from Hooker T, Washington, in which ho Bays that lie is entirely satisfied with the mat ter so far as we are concerned. "Washington neglected hin studies. Ho roomed with Gomes, and, when Gomes came to classes Tuesday with? out him, the Instructor asked him whore Washington was. Ho resented the question and the Instructor took him to tack. He was given no pun? ishment whatever, but left when Washington did the next day. "Washington was placed on special discipline for neglecting Ills studies. That penalty Is- very slight. 1 can? not Imagine any less harsh. It wnu simply an order of confinement to ?ittdtes. Tie came to me and said that ho Intended lo resign. I told him that lie could not relax our discipline on anybody's account. 1 told him that, if he wanted to go we could not hold him, but 1 asked him If he would not stn! until wo had heard from his father. He replied that his father had nothing to say about it, that his father was not "his his master nor nis boss."

JURY OUT FOR NINE HOURS Acquitted Prisoners and Their Law? yers Weep for Joy, and Later Hold a Public Reception?Story of the Death of Engineer Strange. RALBIGH, N. C, Oct. C?After nine hours' deliberation tho Jury in the Rowland murder case this morning returned Its verdict, rinding Dr. D. 3. Rowland and his wife, Mrs. Lilly M. Rowland, not utility of tho murder of Kugln.mm' Charles R. Strange, the woman's former husband. The verdict wan received with ap? proval by the court room crowd, and the defendants received offuslvo con? gratulations, Tho Jury was given the rose at midnight precisely, after ten hours of argument and tho charge of the court. The Slate attacked the veraci? ty of the last witnesses for the de? fense and championed the Brother? hood of Locomotive engineers, which had so strongly and steadily pressed the prosecution which II had initiated. At n-.no o'clock this morning the Jury sent word to Judge Long it was ready with Us verdict. He went to the court room at once. The solicitor was sent for. II was twenty minutes l-eforc he arrived. Rimer Shiaffor. one of the prYlRCCUtlng attorneys, was also present for Hint side. All tho attorneys for the defense were In the court room. Dr. and Mrs. Rowland were brought In, with them bolng his uncle, Theo? dore QlllS, and her sister. Tho si? lence was Intense when the foreman of the Jury announced Iis verdict. Crowd Shows Its Approval. As In' spoke the words there was a rattle of applause and cheers from the crowd which Jammed the court house. JtidgO Long struck- the desk sharply and declared such behavior an outrage. Then n strange scene began. Dr und Mrs. Rowland nnd Messrs. Hicks and Harris, two of their lawyers, cried. Mrs. Rowland nnd her sister IlllggOd ouch other fully a minute, while they screamed for Joy. Their lawyers shook hands with Dr. and Mrs. Rowland, and n Iiitko number id persons folowcd this lead. Tho Rowlands took a carriage and went to his ho.irditic house on RolK slreel, nnd thence to his office on PayottevlllO shoot, directly opposite the poslofflce ami over the Western Union Tolegraph office. There they held ti public reception. Sonic of their very enthusiastic friends drove up with a Wagon load of flowers, which were presented to them. At. 1 o'clock they left for the home or Rowland's uncle, . near Henderson. Thence they go to Baltimore, They say they expect to be away a month. It Is 'said Rowland will re? sume his profession here. Contention of Prosecution. , The contention of the Slate wns that because of the Infatuation of Rowland and Mrs. Strange for each oilier, ami with Mrs. Strange'a CO operation and active help. Dr. Row land poisoned Strange with a hypo dermlc Injection of aconltlno, which would leave no traces Tor nnalysls. Witnesses for the prosecution tes? tified that tho condition of Strange's body the night following the death was such ns would have been brought about l.'v aconltlne. They said that the conduct or Dr. Rowland and Mis Strange showed a great strain upon them, such as miKht be produced by the commission of the crime. Engineer Tlgho, iCnglneer Steele, nnd others testified that Rowland and Mrs. Strange maintained Improper re? lations long before the death of Stranfe. whereas both defendants, In conversations nt the time or Strange's death, declined that they had never met before. Mrs. Strange said that the telephone office had sent Dr. Rowland to the house upon her re? quest for some good doctor. She said she l<ad already called Itwo ktthor doctors and found them out. The evidence wan that she went directly to Dr. Ttowlnnd's office nnd told him her hushund war. "slightly sick," aim asked him to attend him. A Strenuous Statesman. In his "F.cllpse nnd O'Kolly" Theo? dore Andrea t'ook tells a story of tho EngllRb statesman ami sport Pox. Ho had wagered Rornothlng nbout n waist coat which could only bo obtained in rarls; went oft to Dover by night, caught the mail packet, twisted to Par Is and back to Gohlis, and remembered he had n horse racing nt Newmnrkot. He chartered n Ashing boat liound for tho enstern counties, Just got to New? market in time for tho race, took tho post back to Ixindon nnd stopped on tho way to dine. In Uio middle of tho port nnd dice nfter dinner ho wns caught by a speclnl messenger who bad boon tearing over hnlf of England In search of him and reminded that he had to move to bring in a marriage bill In the house of commons. Ho rushed to tho stables, reached tho houso In time to make n brilliant speech In re? ply to North and nnrke and defeated North on a division by a single vote.

I [Original ] My Russinn friend Otterhoff asked me to cxpliiln the English word Dirt. To do so 1 tol? Ii tut this story: "When I wos n young man one win? ter I caught the roller skute craze. I wont to n rink, put on 11 pulr of skates, started out on the floor and?sat down. I got up rind, shuffling to the rnll In? closing the rink, grasped It and started to go around, clinging to It. I hadn't gone far before I mot n young girl who had onu hand <m that same rail. I would rather hare met a herd of cat? tle on n precipice. Elther I must leave the rail to her, taking my chance of going on the hack of my head, or for? ever surrender my self respect. I kept my self respect und surrendered the rail. "1 was repaid by a nod of thanks from the girl, accompanied by a very sweet smile. As soon as she bud pass? ed I grasped the rail und drew a sigh of relief. Presently I saw the same girl coming again. She skated better than 1, who wns on the rollers for the first time, and I thought?Indeed, I hoped-she would this time return ray sacrifice by giving way to me. She did not. As she approached 1 saw a faint trace of amusement on her face, especially In her eyes; then when with? in n few feet of me she cast them down as If much pained to accept from me what was due to her sex. Again my gallantry prevailed, and I moved to what wns to nie Imminent danger and again won mute thanks, convoyed by the eyes und Hps. I con? sidered them ample recompense even for so great a sacrifice. "Well, every few minutes the girl would come round, meet me, and 1 would get out of her way. I was gradually getting a trllle used to my skates, but did not drop nny of my woebegone expression at living obliged to trust myself to them. By and by I Iwgtin to think that the girl bad become familiar enough with her skates to trust herself on the rink ? at least for the few moments neces snry to our passing- but she Bhowed no disposition to do so, though at our meetings her gratitude found more at? tractive expression. Indeed, I was li? ghtning to take a positive pleasure In my sacrlllces when they were inter? rupted. The girl wns apprnnchlng me for the seventh or eighth time when n young man skated up to her and said In n surprised tono: "Why, Miss Kilty, what are you do? ing hanging on to the rail?you, ono of the liest skaters In the rink?" The girl laughed, llung me a look full of merriment nod, loosing bor hold, sailed out on to the floor like a bird. Never has an Inability to do any? thing troubled me so much ns not to have been able to make n similar dis? play of my own statesmanship. Tho girl darted hither and thither grace? fully, while I was still clinging to the rail. Then the young man who had spoken to her caught her band, and together they shimmed tho surface like a pair of swallows. She seemed to take a malicious pleasure In Hitting by mo, at times some of her ribbons lint terlng In my face, Just to show me bow Independent she was of that rail to which I was chained. Once when she passed me, collecting all my nerve, 1 let go and took n few Independent strokes. My feet flew into tho air, and with the thud that followed was min? gled a smothered laugh from my tor? mentor os she whisked awuy. "The next evening I was at the skat? ing rink, and tho next and the next. It was hot until the fourth evenlug tbnt I saw again the girl who hnd fooled, mo. When I did she was skat? ing with the young fellow who hud be? trayed her skill on the rollers *o me. As she passed mo she did not notice mo nny moro than if I were a worm of the dust, but loolted up Into the fneo of her attendant with pn ex? pression of admiration and devotion. I passed her purposely a number of times during the evening- for I could now skate indifferently- hoping to se? cure some slight recognition, but she paid no attention to mo till she passed me Just before leaving tho rink, and then all 1 got was an amused smile. "I think by this little incident I havo conveyed to yon one meaning nt least of tho word 'flirt.' When the girl first sow mo and I had Just clung to tho rail, she took to It herself on purposo to forco mo to let go. Tuen she kept up her pretenso for tho- purpose of bothering me. But hsr real object was to attract my attentlou, to put hornelf In my way, to charm mo as a snake would charm a bird?In other words, to flirt. Do yon see?" "Yes, I see. But when a man ploys that same game with a woman what do you call blm- a flirt V "Certainly not. There Is no word In our language to express what you mean. It is the woman only who flirts." "And yon took no psrt lu this littlo opinodc you have described V" "None whatever." "Why did you not turn around at meeting the girl and skato tho other way?" i "By Jove, I never thought of that!" "How do you know the girl puriiose ly sought to attract you?" "Because I married her, and she oon trosscd that she hnd dono so." "Had you no trouble in getting her?'* "I hnd. I was obliged to flirt with another girl before bringing her to terms." "I thought you said there was no word to express a uiau's nets under such circumstances." "Il'm! Whnt wine do you drink?".
