They have a fine method of getting
out the stay-at-home voters of a year
ago in Boston. A personal letter is
mldreaacd to each man who failed to
cast his ballot, with a request that he
do ao this year. But this is only a feat
ure of an extraordinarily stirring cam
paign which is shaking the Beantown to
its depths.

The Boston Evening Herald says ofi
the "code" which runs the prize fights
in the national naval academy! "How
ever, it (expulsion) is not too severe a
punishment, for tlie country will demand
a complete reorganization of affairs at
the Naval Academy so that duelling and
brutal fist fights may no ilouger disgrace
this institution. Various newspapers,
in commenting upon the punishment to
be meted out to Cadet Meriwether, have
condoned his offense as one which should
not bring down upon his head any par
ticularly severe punishment, because he
was doing what other boys have done
in the academy for a long time, and
the accident which resulted in the death
of his adversary in the fist fight might
have come to any young men similarly
engaged. But the fact must be kept
in mind that the family of the midship
man who lost his life have a right to
some consideration, and while the dis
missal of Meriwether may not follow
in this case, it ought to be understood
that any further performances tinder
this brutal code shall be puuished as
the bilL of Representative Butler pro
vides by immediate dismissal."
UNITARIANS REPLY.
True Test of Christian Discipleship Deeds
Not Belief.
Boston, Dec. 8. A reply to their ex
clusion as Unitarian delegates from the
nterchurch conference on federation at
Xew York has been prepared by Rev,
Dr. Edward Everett Hale, former (!ov.
John D. 1-ong and .Samuel A. Eliot,
president of the American Unitarian As
sociation, and yesterday this was for
warded in the form of a letter to the
pastors of all the Unitarian churches
of greater Boston, who will read it
Sunday. -
The address savs in part;
'"We were refused admiison to the
meeting on the ground that Unitarians
are not Christians. Our characters were
not impeached, but our beliefs were
condemned as heretical.
"We make no controversy over this
action which puts, not us, but its pro
moters at the bar of an enlightened pub
lic opinion. In view of it, however, it
seems timely for us to affirm anew the
simple truth, proclaimed of old by Christ
himself that righteousness of life and
spiritual efficiency rather than ortho
doxy of belief, is the test of Christian
discipleship. We affirm that the doing
of the will of the blaster is the vital
thing, and that beliefs about the nature
of Christ are unimportant in comparison
with practical obedience to His pre
cepts." CROWE FACES NEW CHARGE.

DIVERTING THE STREAM OF
IMMIGRATION.
It is a fact that of the vast streams
of immigrants which pour into the
United States each year the very great
amjority go where there are the least
alluring prospects and fight shy of those
sections of the country where the great
est hopes for their prosperity and happi
ness are held out. They dump them
selves down in those sections hich are
already crowded and where the struggle
for bread is the sternest, whereas there
are open fields abroad which present
inviting outlooks. . This condition is per
Jhaps easily explained , but' less easily
remedied. During the past year over
one million people were added to the
country's population, or, to be exact,
3,020,491. Of this vast number seventy
eix per cent went last year into six
states. Xew York received the largest
number, as would be supposed, 315,&11.
Pennsylvania came next with 210,T0S,
with the other four coming in this order:
'Illinois 72,770, Massachusetts 72,150,
' New Jersey 57,358 and Ohio 40,331. In
great contrast was the number of immi
grants going into the South the South
which is stretching out its hands to
the newcomer. A total of 40,343, or
less than the number going to Ohio
alouc, found their way Into southern ter
ritory. Maryland, West Virginia and
Virginia got 9,000 each, Louisiana 5,000,
Texas 4,000, Kentucky only 618, Ten
nessee 782, and with North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma dwindling down to
less than five hundred. Frank Sargent,
V. the commissioner general of immigra
tion, declares that this great open sec
tion of the country "offers tl best pos
sible opportunities" to the immigrants
and yet they do not accept the invita
tion. The reason for the failure of the im
migrants to spread out is undoubtedly
due to the fact that they are not ac
quainted with the facts and because they
are introduced into this country largely
by two nothern ports, Boston and New
York. Coming to this country with only
a meagre equipment, as most of them
do, they find it impossible, even if they
know of the alluring prospects further
beyond, to travel any great distance.
Thus handicapped, they settle in droves
where they are landed and got to work
in the struggle for existence in the most
congested districts and as soon as possi
ble. The remedy for this condition lies
in the suggestion of Commissioner Sar
gent, that they be induced as far ns
possible to land at other ports nearer
the territory which holds out a better
existence to them. '

end had to be accomplished by cunning
and deceit. Nie wrote that she was
ready to come back: wanted. to come
back and would he forgive her. Leon
Perham turned states evidence and on
the stand he gave testimony, a recital :
such as has rarely been heard in the
courts of law.
According to Perham. Mrs. Rocers had
written to Wr husband, from whom she
was estranged, asking him to meet her
at 9:;',0 at night.
Entrapped Marcus.
After the meeting and pretended re
conciliation. Leon led the wav into Mor-
pan's grove, and by a winding path to
the river. A great stone wall separated
the wove irom the river bank. Ihe
distance from the wall to the bank was
less than half a dozen feet.
"Mav and I walked along with Rog
ers until we came to a break in the
wall," said Leon. "She went" through
and we followed. It was cold and I
had on a big overcoat. I .spread this
out on the ground and all three of us
sat down. We were only a few feet
from the edge of the river.
"May said she had a new trick with
a rope.
"He laughed. "Slav laughed, too, and
drew out a piece of clothes-line. Then
she said she'd bet she could tie me so
that I couldn't get loose.
"'I'll bet you can't,' I said.
"She tied my hands loosely and I
broke away. She tried it again and
I broke f.way again.
" "Try it on him,' I said.
""I'll bet you can't tie me,' said Rog
ers. 'ile was as strong a an ox. May
tied him and tried to tie him tight, but
he just gave a heave and broke away.
She tried it a second time, and he
broke loose without any trouble. She
was getting worried. She tried it a
third time, and when he broke loose
again I saw that she couldn't tie him.
" 'Let me do it,' I told her.
'"I took the rope a piece of clothes
line. I said to Rogers:
"'Kneel down ond put your, hands
behind you.'
'"He thought it vuis fun and kneeled
down. I tied his bands behind him and
he struggled -but could not get loose.
His hack was towards May.
The Plot.
"I pave her a signal and she drew
the vial of chloroform and the handker
chief' from her bosom. She poured aj
tew drops on her tinndkereiiiet not very
much and put her arms around his
neck. Suddenly she drew his head back
in her lap. The move threw him on
his hands, which were behind, him, so
he wtis doubly helpless. Then she put
the handkerchief to his nose. He sput
tered. Suddenly, she empties the vial
on the handkerchief, completely saturat
ing it. He began to struggle.
"'May, what does this mean!' he ask
ed, heaving his body. -''What does it
mean'.'
"'Jump on his legs,' she said.
"I jumped on bis legs to hold him.
May had him gripped around the neck
and pressed the hankerchief against his
nose. His struggles were terrible. He
threw me off as if I had been a kitten.
He pot one hand free and used it to
help himself.
'"But May clung to him and never
once did the handkerchief get away from
his nose. She had the grip of a tiger.
He struggled and flung himself and her
on the ground, and every time I came
near him a heave of hi legs or his free
arm would throw me off.
"While he struggled, his breath was
deeper. Suddenly he became more quiet,
and in a moment he was limp. May
clung to him, even after he was quiet,
pressing the chloroform-soaked handker
chief down over bis face. Vi'hen all was
over she got tip."
Disposal of the Body. .
The body was rolled into 'the river.
A note was left, purporting to have
been written by Rogers, that he had
drowned himself. Mrs, Rogers' unseem
ly haste in her efforts to collect the life
insurance and other damning circum
stances led to her arrest and indict
ment. Perham confessed and was sent
to Windsor prison for life. Mrs. Rog
ers was found guilty n Dec. 22, 1903,
and she was sentenced to be hanged in
the first Friday in last February. She
was thrice reprieved by Governor Bell,
the second reprieve expiring last June,
when counsel for the woman made an
appeal to the United States federal court
to have certain legal questions reviewed
by the supreme court at Washington.
The third reprieve expired today.
Mary Rogers wa twenty-two years
old and little more than nineteen when
she killed her husband.
