"I filt as if I could fly from the

i.. he reached the American line, and
several Americans waiting there to re
cclve them set up a cheer.
"But." ho continued, "we . had no
ccmpluint of life In ihn Mexican prison
ll was merely the suspense and the
fear that we' might iinvo to Hpetirt
months behind the burs that bothered'
us The Federals were sood to us.
especially after Mr. Converse and other
lr lends ln-tsie,i thai we i,e treated
with consideration, Up to that time
we had lo submit lb the ordinary Mex?
ican jail methods and had no beds to
sleep upon, nothing but blankets. Tho
food was poor, but even at that it
was better than wo had with the in
surrectos. Our cells were damp. too.

ceils."
Mother nnd Son Meet In Court.
After the young men reached 131 l'aso

hicl lit the Mexican Federal court room.
Where she embraced the lad with a
fervent "God bless iny boy." and then
t-.-.t down with him to await tho action
of the Judge.
Postmaster J. A. Smith conducted
the negotiations that led up to the re?
lease of the Americans* and was with
them when they rcturnod. Ray Smith,
i.on of the postmaster, took Blatt to his
Lome after new clothing hau been ol?
t'alned. Brown went to u hotel, and
Mis. Converse took her son t\? her
hotel. In the afternoon they moved
about IS I Paso, looking in the shop

Brown and Converse had little to sav
rcgarding their release or their im?

who had worke?! in their behalf, and to
declare that they were done with In?
surrections, ond lighting in foreign ai

Smith cautioned all of theiii against
saying too much, but they were unani?
mous In declaring that they had noth?

"We went into the affair to fight
Mexico." said Converse. "We wore
? captured and were held for trial. Wo
cannot blame Mexico lor that, but Blatt
und 1 were not arrested in Mexico,
nnd Brown never fought the Federals,
so they should have let us go, and
they did. it was hard to be confined

Mr. Adklns and Mr. Johnson werft

quarreling about the affairs of that

purely personal, the police have as yet
been unable to determine. They were <

their talk grew louder, und finally
they exchanged banters. Mr. Adklns

ELIOT SAYS WEE DROP
OCCASIONALLY. IS 0. K.
Cambridge, Mass., April 28.?Presi?
dent Emeritus Charles W. Eliot, of
Harvard, In celebrating his sbvenly
seventh birthday recently, asserted
thai bo believed that moderation, reg?
ularity of eating and sleeping and a
"wee" drop on occasions made ono
grow old happily. Concerning stimu?
lants. Dr. Eliot said:
"I am not one i>f those who believe
that it is necessary to abstain wholly
from the use of alcohol, tobacco, ten,
coffee and other stimulants. On the |
contrary, 1 fcei that there are times
when a stimulant used in moderation
Is beneficial.
"WliaL I am opposed- to is tho habit?
ual uso of stimulants, even In modera?
tion. The man who Is nccustomed to
take every day so much as a single
glass of whiskey is doing himself
more, harm than he. realizes.
"Recent psychological research, ns
conducted In this country and In^Cer- i
many, has made It certnln that the
j effoct of alcohol, when habitually used,
even In the smallest quantity, Is to I
diminish one's efficiency and render tho |
body moro susceptible to tho Inroads I
of disease."

napolis 17 Days Ago.
Annapolis, Mil., April ?-?:}.?Eighteen '
days have elapsed Kineo Mrs. Dora
White ami Miss All..- Shores; her sis- :
tor. disappeared from the White home.
In West Street. Recovered from Spa
Creek, their hats and umbrella and ,
other articles are the only evidence to :
Indicate what has become of them. I
Mrs. White seldom went out at night, i
her relatives declare. Callers at the
house after sundown were always
asked 'their Identity before the door j
was opened there. .
Miss Shores was not timid. She at- \
tended rhurVh ser\lces at night, com- |
Ing across the Severn River from East- ]
port, often alone.
[ In tile absence or definite elites to
th'ir whereabouts, speculation takes
a wide ranire. One rTiebry Is advanced
\ that the women met with foul play.
That their bodies ate fast in the mud
near the head of Spa (.'reek, probably
not far from where the articles of
wearing apparel were recovered, is
also a view entertained by man;-.
Hellere Drowning Accidental.
Extensive dragging. longing and
seining In Spa Creek, without result,
since the disappearance of the sisters
havo shaken the opinion that they had1
been drowned. Mr. White u'nd the
step-daughters of ills missing wife,
nowever. still cling to the belief that !
they were accidentally drowned.
Iiurlng Mrs. While's illness. It Is '
stated, she said she had prayed tor
death At one time she went so fai?
ns to hint that she Would take Her life.
"Miss Shores was a most estimable
woman." suld one of iior cousins. "She
was a thorough Christian, and was al?
ways ready to assist others. She was
devoted to her sister, howover.
"If she lost her life In the water, it
was not her fault that she got over?
board."
The, finding of gray hair In one of
tho seines used In searching for the
bodies, following the recovery of the
bat of Mrs. White, is taken by rela?
tives of Mr. White to Indicate that Cio
hut was actually torn from tho wo?
man's head by tho seine. Rlvcrmcn
think that If such were the case tho
body would have been recovered.
Searchers for the bodies abandoned
their work shortly before sundown
last night. Tho offer of tho rewards |
aggregating S250 for the recovery of
the bodies has proved tempting" to
many boatmen. A number spent their
spare time on Spa Creek.

twenty-one years old. wife of a St.

story of a tortured soul.

I for Clerninson, in a light for a new
trial. Only a few hours remain in which
to prevent the ruling of 1I10 Supremo
Court taking effect, thus sending Clern?
inson to .Inlint.
"Tito world can never know how I
havo suffered as I saw the net tighten- 1
ing about Dr. Clerninson," she said. "A
word from me would have freed him.
lull f could not bear to tell my hus?
band how 1 had spent a night of rev?
elry with this mun. Dr. Clemlnsou's
loyalty to me and his refusal to drag
my name in the mlro finally decided
mo. Then I confessed to my husband.
"Isn't It lino tho way my husband
Is acting'.' He furnished me with
the money for this trip and did not
quarrel with me when 1 told him that
I had resolved to tell the truth und
endeavor to save an Innocent man.
"1 would have come any way. It Is
my duly to save Dr. Clerninson If r
can, and f could not remain sileiu nny
longer, even If It resulted in a separa?
tion from my husband.
"1 first told my mother of what 1
had done. Her name Is Mrs. Elizabeth
Wolf, and she resides In St. I.out?. Shu
noticed that I was melancholy and in?
sisted on knowing what the matter
was. Then I broke down and told her
everything. I also repeated the slory
to my aunt. Judge McSuroly was tho
first person outside of tho family In
whom I confided, and I did so because
my mother and aunt told me that It
was my duty to make a full confes?
sion.

this step long ago. Tt has worried
