, PRESIDENT COMMENDED.
GeF or S ,a Senators and Representatives on
6 McKinley’s Speech.
gypecial to The News.
“ Washington, Dec. 16 —Southern congress
/taen, with one accord, commend in the
• most friendly terms the suggestion made
• »y the president at Atlanta yesterday rela
tive to national aid In caring for the graves
'of the Southern heroes who gave up their
lives in teh war between the states. It is
probable that a bill to carry out the presi
f dent's suggestion will be introduced in the
■House at an early day. It is generally
conceded that such a measure should ema
nate from the Republican side of the
House. It is also proposed to amend the
-t act which designates the 30th of May as
the National Decoration Day, so that union
and Confederate graves may be strewn
with flowers, accompanied by appropriate
ceremonies , on the same day.
Georgia and South Carolina congressmen
were especially friendly in alluding to
what they termed a magnanimgter on the
part of the 'president.
Judge Mattox remarked, with a display
of enthusiasm not often indulged in by
him: “President iMcKinley is the best Re
publican I know. It was a gracious act on
his part and I am not surprised that the
sentiments he expressed in Atlanta yester
day touched the hearts of the Southern
people. I can well understand the military
•patriotism which fills the president and he
was exceedingly happy in selecting the
right time and place to give voice to such
expressions "as he gave utterance to.’’
Colonel Lester applauded the president’s
action by saying: “President McKinley has
such a nice way of doing nice things that
1 am not surprised at the sentiments he
expressed yesterday concerning the Con
federate dead.’’
Colonel Livingston, Representatives
' Tate, Bartlett. Griggs, Lewis, Brantley
and Fleming; also Senators Bacon and
Clay, expressed their warm approval of
the suggestion made by the president.
Representative Stokes, of South Caro
lina. said: “In my opinion the speech of
President 'McKinley at Atlanta yesterday
was one which thoroughly proves to the
people of the South the good will and fel
lowship of our brothers in the North. I
think it was a very appropriate thing for
the occasion and that it will be highly
commened by the people throughout the
Southern states. If this matter be brought
to the notice of the House for approval
as an appropriation, as it most assuredly
•will, it will undoubtedly be done by a
member from the North, either a Repub
lican or Democrat, though it would be pre
ferable for a Republican to propose the
matter, a Republican president having
been the originator and introducer of it.
For the same reason he should be a mem
ber from the North, and it would be es
pecially appropriate if this member were
an old soldier. I, for one. will give my
hearty consideration and help to the mat
ter. and do not think that the patriotic
sons and daughters of the South will be
far behind.’’
DRANK MORPHINE AND DIED.
Suicide of Captain Bob Hargrove, of
Rome.
Kingston. Ga„ Dec. 16.—Captain Bob
Hargrove, a highly respected citizen of
Rome, commited suicide last night at the
X ictor house. He came up from Rome on
the 5 o’clock train and engaged supper
and a room at the hotel and requested that
his room be as far away from the occupied
portion of the house as possible. He ate
only a bite of supper and going to the
office, sat awhile with -Captain A. Y.
Shears, the proprietor of the hotel.
His manner and actions were peculiar
and indicated great aberration of mind, j
He spoke of his business affairs to Cap- 1
rain Sheats and said he was financially
ruined, and that he was a wreck in body '
and mind. Shortly afterward he was
shown to his room, where he remained
until 9 o’clock. He -then came downstairs
and asked for a Bible. It was given him
and he returned to his room.
This morning the porter was sent to call
him to breakfast. Returning he reported
that the gentleman was very sick; that he
was groaning as if in great pain. The
family and boarders ran to his aid. but it
was too late. The morphine bottle on the
table and the drained goblet on the dres
ser told all too plainly the oft-told tale
of suicide.
Prompt and efficient aid was summon
ed, but nothing could avail. He died at
8:25 o’clock. He leaves a wife and a son.
who were notified at once. The body was i
taken, to Rome this evening, accompanied
by kind friends and relatives.’ The Bible
he called for was lying open at the fourth
and fifth chapters of Corinthians with his
spectacles lying'on the open page.

Bea?« the The Kisd You Have Always Bought
! PORTUGAL’S GOOD QUEEN.
Amelie One the Model Women on Thrones
of Europe.
By Associated Prees.
I Queen Amalie, the wife of the king of
i Portugal, is one of the many good women
. who now occupy thronea, says an ex
! change. The story is well known of her
s that in order to deal with the ill health
i of her husband through obesity she has
studied medicine, passed her examination
, and taken the degree of M. D., and thus
; become the only queen M. D. at present
, in existence. And be it always rcmem
bered that she took her studies not only
seriously but in the most democratic man
i ner. She attended the classes at the un
versity at Lisbon, “walked” the hospitals
I for some time, and it is reported that she
I has on various occasions practiced her
profusion in casts of emergency and
among the poorer of her subjects.
Queen Amalie has another accomplish
ment. She is a born milliner and has a
room set apart at the palace where hats
and bonnets arc continually in progress
|of construction. And thereby hangs a
pretty and pathetic story. Once while out
, driving in the streets of 'Lisbon she ob
' served a large crowd surrounding some
object. The queen sent her footman to
see wha-t was the matter, and when he
reported that a young woman had fainted
she immeditely left her carriage and had
the unconscious girl brought to a neigh
boring shop and personally attended her
professionally. The queen had the young
woman removed to her own home, had in
quiries made about her and learned the
poor girl’s history. She was a milliner,
and, having failed to get employment, had
ventured to undertake work on her own
account to support herself and her invalid
mother, but with so little success that she
was nearly starved.
Queen Amalie sent at once some neces
sities and commanded the girl’s presence
at the palace. Here she received her in
the work room, and handed the poor mil
liner three bonnets of her own creation.
“Take these as models, call them ‘bonnets
Amalie,’ and tell your customers they are
made- after the queen’s fashioning.” Her
majesty wore one herself of the identical
bonnets, and commanded her ladies to do
| likewise. Within two months
■ starving girl could take larger premises,
1 and today she is herself an employer of
over 200 women.
* BURNS WAS ACQUITTED.
Hs Trial at Brunswick for Killing Engi-
Neer Heslep.
Brunswick Dec. 16.—The trial of W. S.
I Burns for killing Engineer Heslep, of the
I Southern railroad, was brought to a close
| tonight by the acquittal of Burns.' The
jury was out only a few minutes before
i brinbing in the verdict. At the close of
: Attorney Krauss’s speech for the defense
j there was 'applause from a group of spec
i tators with which the court room was
i crowded. Judge Sweat gave an interest
i ing turn to events by ordering rhe ap
i plauding crowd brought before him for
contempt. They could not be identified in
; the crowd and so escaped a penalty.
) The trial was fought from the begin
i ning. Dr. 'Heslep, rhe dead man’s brother,
■ from Virginia, was here, and the Broth
' erhood of Locomotive Engineers, through
I General Secretary Green, were instrumen
i tai in securing evidence. About twenty
' five witnesses were on hand for the state,
and Solicitor Bennett, assisted by Attor
j neys Symmes and Dunwoody, were vigor
' ous with the prosecution.
From the beginning the sympathies of
i the people were with Burns, and the jury
I was almost of his own selection. His
. statement to the jury was substantially
that given to correspondent the night of
the. killing. He swore today that he went
to his home he found Engineer Heslep
with his wife in a •compromising position,
and securing a pistol ran around the house
to a window and commenced shooting;
also that Heslep ran out of the house, and
■that he followed, shooting 'at him.
The defense offered no other testimony,
and in his speech, of over two hours to the
jury Attorney Krauss made the greatest
■ use of Burns’ statement.
No evidence was offered against the
prisoner’s wife, as had been intimated
there would be. and there was also no
evidence offered to connect -any one else
with having prompted Burns to commit
j the deed.
A Narrow Escape.

Hart, of Groton, S. D., “Was taken with a
bad cold which settled on mylungs; cough
set in and finally terminated in consump

up to my savior, determined if T could
not stay with my friends on earth I would
meet my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption. Coughs and Colds.
