When Sentenced to Penltentlray
for Life.
• Thank you. sir.” This was the re
sponse made by Moses Houston, a 15-
? ear-old negro boy, to Judge Seabrook,
v. hen the latter sentenced him to spend
, lie remainder of his life in the peniten
tiary, for the wilful murder of Delia
Green.
Sentence was imposed at 6:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and, thus relieved of
the necessity of further attendance in the
, ourt room, Houston pranced gaily out.
He was in charge of a bailiff, but this
nldilional restraint hod no effect upon
his temper. He was as calm and as de
bonair as if the experience through which
he had just passed was a matter of
. very day occurrence and of no particu
lar importance.
When lie was arraigned in the Superior
Court yesterday morning, the youth of
ttie prisoner was the most striking fea
ture of the case. He wore short trousers
and had the round cheerful countenance
of many muiattoes. He seemed to be
raiher above the average of negro intel
ligence and certainly gave no outward in
dication of being possessed of the "aban
doned and malignant heart," which the
law says shall be inferred to exist when
a killing is committed under circum
stances such as surrounded that with
which he was charged.
The selection of the jury occupied a
comparatively brief period and then Hous
ton was arraigned, in accordance with the
solemn formula prescribed by the law. To
the questions of Solicitor General Osborne
lie gave firm and ready responses, de
claring his innocense of the crime of mur
der.
The shooting had been done in a house
near the corner of Harrison and Laurel
streets, in Yamacraw, on the night before
Christmas of last year. Emma West and
Willie West were in the house at the
time, and they both testified that the
shooting was absolutely without provoca
tion. save some contemptuous words
used by Houston's victim, and that it
was as cowardly and brutal as it was
unprovoked.
These two witnesses, the most import
ant of those introduced by the state,
swore that Houston and Delia Green, the
girl who was killed, had been more or
less intimate for some months, and that
on the night of the homicide the boy and
girl had had a quarrel. Delta was 14
years old.
The conversation said to have been car
ried on between them was not particu
larly elegant or elevating/, if WilHe and
Emma West are to be believed. The gist
of it ley in the fact that Delia treated
with supreme contempt Houston’s as
sumption that he owned her and refused
to acknowledge he had any right to dic
tate to her what she should or should
not do. Then it was, according to the
state’s w itnesses, that the fatal shot was
fired. The girl lingered until the follow
ing afternoon, when she died at the home
of tier mother.
Houston made his statement to the jury
■Kith the same composure which charac
terized him during the entire trial. He
said that he had been asked by Willie
West to bring his revolver home from
the repair shop, where it had been left,
and dUI bring it to West on Christmas
eve. He acknowledged having had some
quarrel with Della, but said it had all
passed before the shot which fatally
wounded her was fired.
He explained to the jury that he and
Eddie Cohen, another boy of about his
own age, had been Indulging in a good
natured scuffle for the possession of the
revolver, which was lying under a nap
kin on the center table of the room. In
the scuffle the weapon had been discharg
ed, but he had not known until some min
utes afterward that Della had been shot.
Houston said that he had been gone for
b physician and had quite willingly sub
mitted to arrest, while he was returning
from this errand. There had been no rea
son, he said, why he should have shot the
girl, and he declared he was absolutely
innocent of any intention to harm her.
IV illiam Mills, a negro who has been a
fellow prisoner of Houston's at the county
jaii. corroborated his statement as to the
scuffle with Cohen, but Willie and Emma
West, recalled for the purpose, swore that
■Mills had not been In the house when the
shot was fired. They swore also that Co
hen was not In the house, and Cohen,
whom the solicitor general was success
ful in having found on the streets, claim
ed to have left the house some time pre
vious to the firing of the shot which mor
tally wounded Delta Green.
These were the essential portions of the
evidence, though there was enough In ad
dition to keep the court busy until about
1 o'clock. At that hour both the state
and the defense announced they had con
cluded the Introduction of evidence and
the arguments to the Jury were begun.
Mr. Raiford Falligant made the argu
ment for the defendant and Solicitor Gen
eral W. W. Osborne for the state. Mr.
Osborne spoke only for about fifteen min
utes, contending the evidence showed the
crime to have been murder, brutal, cow
ardly and unprovoked, and asking of the
Jury a verdict of guilty. Judge Sea
brook's charge was short, crisp nnd to
the point. He wasted no .time or words
in non-essentials.
Once, after the jury had retired, it
returned to be re-charged. It wanted to
know what penalty would be imposed if
■ verdict of guilty should be accompanied
0 recommendation to the extreme
mercy of the court. Judge Seabrook ex
plained that imprisonment for life was all
the mercy the law permitted shown under
ueh circumstances. Ten minutes later,
a verdict of guilty, with n recommenda
tion to inerey. was returned.
Houston was directed to stand up. His
m rve never faltered and he faced Judge
Seabrook with perfect composure and
"ithout any evidence whatever of emo
tlon.
Houston,” said Judge Seabrook, “you
have been Indicted and tried for the
'■rime of murder. The Jury has seen lit
to accompany Its verdict with a recom
mendation to mercy, and It now becomes
m.v duty to impose the sentence directed
V the law. I perform this duty with

to condemn one of your youth and aipar

These are “Opening Days” and *
show days for the new Easter Mil
linery Suits and Dress Fabrics.
The store will be in gala dress all
this week, as is befitting the occas
ion. At a bound this store has step
ped to the front, and with this dis
play we shall demonstrate more
forcibly than ever our right to the
title of Leader. If experience was
bounded by the few months we’ve
had this new store, you might
question the permanency of this
rapid growth. But there are years
of experience behind this busi
ness, and this growth is as natural
as is the growth of a plant when
it is transplanted to congenial soil
with bright, roomy surroundings.
Store Policy: The greatest possi
ble freedom to visitors, no obliga
tions to buy anything incurred by
your coming. Nobody shall ask you
to buy. Any bargain you make can
be unmade if you find your money
would buy you better satisfaction
elsewhere. Your trade is asked on
this basis, and we believe you’ll
keep coming.

room.
While he was sitting In the sheriff's
office, one of the deputies asked him how
he liked the verdict and sentence: "I
don’t like it at all,” was the answer; ‘‘but
I guess I’ll have to stand it.”
MANY GORGEOUS HATS.
Displayed by Jackson, Metzger A Cos,
Yesterday.
One of the prettiest millinery openings
of this season was at Jackson, Metzger &
Cos. yesterday. The house was beauti
fully decorated, and the hats were artisti
cally displayed by Miss Snow and her as
sistants. The stock of hats is large and
the prettiest creations purchasable in the
East and abroad were exhibited yester
day.
The Buckle hat is original with this
firm. It is not displayed in the show win
dows. It is a large Leghorn hat with
garniture of mallnes or chiffon and a
large buckle or small roses. This Is the
very latest creation.
A beautiful thing in misses’ hat is the
Queen Anne. It is pink chiffon streamers
of the same, tied with rosettes of pink
baby ribbon and white tips. Trimmed in
delicately tinted pink and white, chiffon
roses, chrysanthemum facing, and the
crown of Jet.
A lady’s pretty hat is a turban of white
christofolo and applique, with large rose
crown, handsome buckle.
Another misses' hat is a large flat, red
pleated chiffon, trimmed in red silk pop
ples, eigrettes and ribbon, and has strings
of ribbon and moline, tied with popples.
Another is the snow drop hat. It has a
crown of taffeta and applique made of
pleated chiffon and lace, trimmed with
snow drops only. It has streamers of
wash taffeta ribbon. Another is a moline
hat, top brim of roses, covered with real
lace, faced with folds of moline and au
tumn foliage. Large crown of pastel lib
erty satin, handsome rhinestone buckle in
center of crown.
In mourning hats, Jackson. Metzger &
Cos. are specialists in Savannah. Their
stock is large and complete. It Is a fea
ture of the business. This season flow
ers are worn a great deal, mourning laces,
with dull jet lace, hair braid and chiffon.
In the suit and shirtwaist department
everything is to bp, found from a muslin
shirtwaist to a silk waist-from a crash
to a skirt, from a 10-cent bit of un
derwear to a handsome lace-trimmed skirt
or overdress.
On the right side of the first division
is the dress goods department, below this
i the gentlemen’s furnishing .Tepartment.
On the left side are the fancy goods,
hosiery, gloves, neckwear.
Mr. Merritt has charge of the dress
goods department. Miss Roche of the fancy
goods department and Mr. Rolinski of the
gentlemen's furnishing department.

of which Mr. Benson has charge, are the
linens, white goods, household, etc., and
on the left the embroideries, insertion,
etc., followed by the corset department
and ladles' underwear, of which Miss
Whitty has charge.
The windows of Jackson, Metzger & Cos.
are attracting a great deal of attention.
They represent the “gates ajar, the
background Is yellow, the ground work Is
cloth of gold, the columns are good repre
sentation of marble. Standing just inside
the gate is a lady stylishly attired In a
beautiful tailor-made suit, wearing a
swell spring hat.
This Is one of the most artistic show
window displays of the season.
at FOYK A KCKSTKIVS.
rim r min u: nn<l Dnlnly Millinery
Shown Yenterilay.
At Foyc & K kstein’H millinery opening
yesterday an array of new spring hats
were shown. They were exclusive. They
represented styles of the old time. They
were all the more beautiful and more
sought for.
Hoses—from flaunting red blooms to
buds of tenderest plpk and yellow and
white—form the key-note of the millineiy
trimmings this season. At the new store,
where they have been holding their first
Raster opening, the second floor is a gar
den.
All this season Is lightness and sim
plicity. Styles have harked back to the
•lays of cne's great-grand-mothers, and
before then, even. One can almost see
tile piquant faces of old-time beauties
peeping from beneath dainty leghorns
and plctuie hals. There Is an old-time
flavor like lavender hovering about the
daintiest and prettiest of the#<- paragons
of feminine head-gear. Hut every one Is
of the newest of styles.
Feathers are few and far between, the
ley-note of the decora turns is the flower,

field flowers. All the styles are modifica
tions of those of the periods of the Res
toration, Empire and of 1830. Parisian mil
liners saw the possibilities of these per
iods, and the present season's styles are
the result.
There has been no more beautiful or
successful display than this one at Foye
& Eckstein's.
Other attiactions are there in plenty.
On the first tioor are displayed all the
latest dress fabrics in wool, silk and
washable fabrics; also a fine display of
laces from the cheapest to the finest.
On the third and fourth floors are dis
played furniture, carpets, rugs, etc. In
the suit department everything of the
latest pattern is shown. Everything is
exclusive—being made only for this firm.
They range in price from $lO to SSO. In
this department are a handsome line of
skirts in different colors, and two toned
effects ranging in price from $lO to S4O.
Avery handsome line of underwear Is
also displayed.
The decorations were elaborate, surpass
ing any previous display of the firm. Fes
toons of greens and roses were profuse.
Suspended from the second floor, and
swinging out in front of the entrance,
was a fairy driving a dozen white doves,
which was especially attractive. More
than twenty-five clever canaries were sil
houtted around among the festoons of
green, and furnished the music for the
morning. This was a novel feature of the
opening.
One of the most novel window displays
this season was that of this firm yester
day. It represented a lady in a garden,
the plum and apple trees were in bloom
and the ground was strewn with roses.
The iady was attired in an exquisite tail
or-made suit and stylish spring hat. The
background is a landscape in oil. In or
der that those who were unable to visit
the store during the day, Foye & Eck
stein held a reception from 8 to 10 o’clock
last night. An orchestra furnished music
during the evening, and carnations were
presented guests. No goods were offered
for sale at all.

PATHS IN A CHILD’S BRAIN.
The Effect of Earlr Training Di
cua.ed n Kindergarten f 1n...
The subject discussed at the sixth class
in "Child Study" atllhe Phllbrlok Kinder
garten yesterday, was the “Structures of
the Central Nervous System,” and the
modifications produced In the brain by
properly training the senses of the grow
ing child.
“We may enlarge any given tract in
the brain by exercises.” said Miss
Backus, "so it follows as a matter of
course that in two brains which weigh
the same we may find a large difference
in the number of developed brain cells;
one may have certain tracts highly de
veloped and others full of miniature cells,
while the other may be full of brain cells
of equal size and development."
Education, physiologically speaking,
alms at giving full development to all
parts of the brain, and the basis of this
development must come through the
senses. Every time a child sees anew
tree, smells anew flower or odor, tastes
anew kind of food, feels a substance that
he has never before felt, or walks, jumps,
skips, hops or runs in anew way, there
has been an ineffaceable path cut in his
brain, and the cells through which this
path runs will be permanently modified.
When a great number of these pathways
are cut the "associative fibers” connect
them, so that the most complex images
can be recalled through the uniting of
these paths.
When a child is young and the brain
matter plastic these paths can be formed
without difficulty, but after the age of
thinty-three, it is almost impossible.
“We should give to children as many
vivid impressions of the world of nature
as possible,” said Miss Backus, so as to
enable him to form correct images
through the eye, ear, touch and smell,
otherwise the foundation of his education
is poorly laid. He should also be taught
to use his muscles in as many ways as
possible, for man only thoroughly knows
what he can do. A child raised in the
country has a chance to form many more
images than, a city child, and Halliek
points out in a chapter devoted to the
purpose, how nearly all men of unusual
minds have spent all or the greater part
of their childhood or early youth In the
country. Although the psychological and
physiological discoveries mentioned above
are of a comparatively recent date.
Froebel held exactly the same views ns
to the proper training of the senses and
embodied his ideas in his book on, the
mother play.”
Miss Backus asked each of the class
to bring a stanza of discriptive poetry
to the next meeting, and much curiosity
was aroused. Endless reiterations seem
necessary to make it clear that visitors
are welcomed to any one clnss—all
classes are held from 11 to 12 Mondays
and Thursdays at the Phllbrlok Kinder
garten, 302 Hall street, east. Special terms
are made for those joining now for the
remaining six lessons.
WILL INTEREST SMOKERS.
About the Manufacturing nnd Adver
tising of Clgurs.
Some people think, that because a cigar
Is largely advertised; that it is done at
the expense of the cigar and detracts
from its merits; but, this Is not true.
The large advertisers of cigars work on
the same principle es other large adver
tisers; they call the attention of the pub
lic to their article, and it must have merit
or it does not hold them.
The cigar manufacturers who advertise
largely do a proportionately large busi
ness, which enables them to sell nt a
smaller profit. They have greater facili
ties by buying in enormous quantities,
and securing the cream of (the tobacco
crop at the lowest prices, which Is all for
the benefit of the smoker.
The firm of 'Hinschhorn, Mack & Cos. Is
one of the largest manufacturers In the
United States, and their Henry George
cigar is strictly hand-made, and wonder
fully good. At five cents, this cigar would
be an impossibility, were it not for the
advantages above named. Their Tom
Moore cigar Is also hand-made, and of
specially selected Havana filler and Su
matra wrappers, from their warehouses
in Havana and Amsterdam.
In buying direct, they save the middle
man’s profit, and are able to give superior
goods at the lowest prices.—ad.

A Message From Canada.
“I wish to inform you of the wonderful
cure which Graybeard has wrought on
me. For the last twelve years I have
been troubled with dyspepsia, gas on
