C, April 26. The Vace court of inquiry continued the preparation of its report today, and -when adjournment was had comparatively little work on it remained to be done The different mem bers of the court have made separate investigation, of the testimony and they were today engaged in comparing notes. They find that about 200 witnesses were examined during the investigation. The testimony covers 5,000 pages of typewrit ten matter. The report therefore will be of considerable length. There has been no recent change in the conclusion of the members- of the court. The Teport wiW unanimously sustain the administration. Secretary of "War ACger and Major Gen eral Miles both saw the president today. They arrived at the White House within a few minutes of each other, but did not see the president together. Secretary Al ger was already with the president when General JISs arrived and the latter wait ed fifteen minutes until Secretary Alger had emerged from the president's private room. Ho was hen admitted and remained with the president for ten minutes. When he left th White House ho declined ab solutely j discuss the object of h'iS visit. This Is the first time General Miles has called on the president in Eix weeks. It has been ascertained that Genenfl Miles visit to the White House was for the purpose of consulting the president con cerning the appointment of the general's ki as member of next year's class at West Point Washington, April 26. The board con vened by a special order to examine and report on 13ie responsibility for the loss of 300,000 pounds of refrigerated beef sent to Porto Bicp last summer submitted its report and findings. The beef was shipped on the transport Manitoba from Swift Co., in Chicago and Kansas City. The board finds as follows: "That the (beef was good and fit for issue upon Its arrival at the port of Ponce, Aug ust 10, 1S5S; was reported to the proper military authorities, and that this condi tion continued after the release of the Manitoba from the reef on August 14, 1S0S, although there ia reason to believe that the refrigeration was not satisfactory dur ing that interval. "That notwithstanding the time and la bor involved in unloading troops and ani mate from the Manitoba and in cleaning fie ship, up to and including August 16, 3593, due and proper effort was not made to issue this beef to the accessible troops between that dte and August 2a, 3SSS, the dite of fhe departuieof the Manitoba from. Mayague. "That this lack of effort was in the na ture of an acquiescence in the arrange ment already locally sanctioned for the purchase of native beef, but lay primarily in the lack of controlling authority in the head of the subsistence department in Ponce, under the. difficulties attending a, new military situation. "That boh at Mayaguez, August So toi vj, aim at r once, oeiwepn tne aaie oi tne return of the Manitoba; -August 31, to her departure for New York, September 7, proper effort was made for 'the issue of this beef, and the meat was, in the opin ion of the board, still fit for issue. "That the meat had not been subjected to any chemical process whatever for its preservation. "That the loss, of this beef was due to several causes: Possible deterioration whHe the refrigerator plant was Interrupt ed or disturbed, August 10 to August 14; exposure to high temperature from the time of loading on the transport to the date of issue at Mayaguez, and after: im proper handling and fauHy protection after 'ssue; deficient transport to troops; preju dice against its appearanco under unfa miliar conditions and delay. A month elapsed since the beef was dressed before 't reached Mayaguez, when for the first tfme, issues were made, each day adding U th dlfllcultles. "Finally, the distribution to the troops was such tfoait, under the circumstances, great loss was inevitable In the absence of any refrigerator at ports of entry. "That the United States is responsible for the loss. The board is aware of an ftverage wastage in refrigerated beef a loss properly chargeable to the contractor but the board is unwilling to fix an arbi trary figure for such a shipment as that TWO niSTAKES. There are two mis takes that people with weak lungs are liable to make and both arc about equally bad: One is to not give atten tion quick ly enough to the little coughs and bronchial troubles iwhich sc rapidly un dermine the delicate lung tis-ue and plunge you into consumption almost before you are aware tf it; the other is when the trouble is at last discovered and fully realized to give np hope, too soon. Began with these bronchial and throat tilments the instant they appear; never wait till to-morrow. The right remedy taken now may save months of severe ill ness. On the other baud if the illness has ilready come upon you; and vou find your lelf weakened, wasted and discouraged, do not lose hope.

V?Aw Ik a al THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Sykup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Srsup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Sntop Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.

"The board construes the time limit in the contract with Swift &'-Co. to' mean that the beef should remain sound for twenty-four hours after delivery to the issuing commissary, if properly protected; the seventy-two hour clause referring to intermediate storage in land refrigerators." Secretary Alger has approved the find ings of the board and directed that the payments be made to Swift Co. in ac cordance with the report. Nothing has "been determined as to whether a board of inquiry will be ordered to nua'to a further investigation. The board which has just reported was a board of survey.

Richard Croker sailed for Europe today aboard the Amer ican line steamship New York. Save for his sisfer, Mrs. Warren, Mr. Croker tva& unaccompanied. "When the Tammany chief reached the pier, half an hour before the big liner pulled out of her berth, he was met by a party of friends who had come down to say "bon voyage." Mr. Croker was all smiles and he nodded pleasantly to as many as caught his eye. Then, flanked by his Immediate advisers, he moved toward the gang plank. In a min ute he had made the ascent and stood on the main deck. There was a hurried move ment by the waiting politicians, who folr lowed up 'the incline, which strained un der the load. Mr. Croker was soon pressed on all sides and finally found his posi tion so uncomfortable that ho hastened into tho main saloon. Tho crowd behind followed until ho stood at the toot of the stairway leading to tho upper deck. Up these went Mr. Crocker quickly, his friends and political adherents right on his heels. When the promenade deck was reached he was again surrounded, and the reception that followed appeared to give immense satisfaction to the departing Tammanyite. As the time for the sailing of the ship grew near, the Tush on the deck, where Mr. Crocker was holding his levee, became so great that it was with difficulty that one could even elbow his way to the cen tral figure. Hundreds of hands were thrust in front of Mr. Croker and he grasped as many as possible. The ship appeared to be alive with men and women. The saloon passenger list contained some 300 namesfl and their friends, combined with the assemblage of politicians, made one of the biggest crushes experienced on a departing liner in many a day. Arriving at Southampton Mr. Croker will proceed directly to his place at Wantage, where he has his racing horses. Speaking of his stables, Mr. Croker said: "I can't tell now just what I shall do in the racing line, until I reach England. I have about 20 or 25 horses, six of which are yearlings. I have not settled anything yet about engagements for the big events, except that Knickerbocker is entered for the derby." Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British am bassador, who, with his family, boarded the New York, was scarcely recognized In the excitement and eothusiasm which at tended the departure of the Tammany leader. Speaker Thomas B .Reed was also a pas senger for Southampton with his family. A number of friends were at the pier to wish him a pleasant voyage but in the ruah of Tarnnmnyites they were scarcely distinguishable. Mr. Reed said to a re porter that he was going abroad for a va cation of about three months duration ami that upon his return he would settle In New York. He refused to discuss the po litical outlook. Being asked if he would talk with his fellow-passenger, Mr. Croker, Mr. Reed said: "Oh. we will probably say How do you do,' to each other." 00M PAUL IS PREPARING To Give Enslanrt a Hunt Fight for the Transvaal.

Canton, Ohio, April 26. The closing argu ment in the trial of Mrs. George was in progress when court adjourned this even ing. Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene be gan his argument shortly after 2 o'clock and will probably occupy the greater part if not all of tomorrow forenoon in com pleting it. It is now thought that the jury will be charged Immediately after the noon recess tomorrow. The day was without special incident so far as the ac cused was concernedv Mrs. George sat all day with downcast eyes and was occa sionaflly moved to tears as the story of her life was narrated. The court room was thronged from early morning to the hour of adjournment, and many who could not gain admittance stood in the court house corridors all day to get what they could hear and see at long range. Attorney Welty occupied the morning in his closing speech in defense of Mrs. George. He said to the jury that if they found the accused guilty of murder in the first degree, they should not recommend, her toimercy, thus substituting imprison ment for lift for the death penalty. "For her sake, and for my sake," he said, "do not recommend mercy. We do not ask it, we do not want it." The evidence was reviewed on the hy pothesis that it was nothing but circum stantial and clouded with doubt in im portant essentials. In commenting on a threat about going to the Althouse home to create trouble, Mr. Welty said it was fitting that Saxton should meet his death there, on the steps of the house of his companion in wrong-doing. Mr. Welty dis cussed the testimony bearing on the homi cide. He insisted upon the weakness of material links in the chain of circum stance associating his client with the crime and the completeness of the alibi presented, as well as the accounting for burrs and spanish needles and the condi tion of the accused when "arrested. Mr. Welty concluded his argument at 2:05 o'clock and Mr. Pomerene began his final address in the case on behalf of the prosecution. Mr. Pomerene spoke briefly on tho legal propositions of the case, al though lie cited a number of authorities for the judge's consideration in connection with the charge to the jury. He insist ed that the extent to which the testimony of one addicted to the opium habit should bo excluded was for the jury to decide ac cording to the testimony on the use of the drug, resisting the 'proposition of the de fense that the court should order the jury to ignore the testimony entirely of- one so addicted. He' also topk ground oppo site to that'of the defense on the matter of threats, insisting that these hreats had been considered In the line of a motive to the crime and circumstantial evidence thereon, as well as on the question of the degree of premeditation and deliberation. In summing up the case to the jury the prosecuting attorney insisted that the jury should pot consider what tho charac ter of-Saxton was or was not, and that if th aroused was .found guilty the jury should so ""find, dwelling at some length upon tho subsequent results of an acquit tal under such circumstances when tes timony had-prdven guilt He insisted that an alibi, attempted and not established, is an evidence of fraud and deception, and insistd that the alibi ia this case had not accounted for the accused at the mo mentous time Involved. He argued that the accused was not the simple country woman her attorney had represented her, but that she had been carried away by her vanity, her ambition and her desires for what only a rich man could provide her. He insisted with much vehemence that when she secured a divorce from her husband, she must either have sworn truly to the good grounds for that divorce from her husband or else have falsified to tho court, cither of which, ne said, was pertinent to this case. He insisted that her language and conduct had not been that of a woman such as her attorney had represented her, and recalled the tes timony of witnesses who had sworn that Mrs. George's words were too profane and too obscene to be repeated on the witness stand. As to most of the witnesse sfor tho accused, the prosecuting attorney was disposed to be kind, and considerate. He charged them with nothing worse than a mistake as to the time of the incidents they narrated and this he did only through the testimony of others. He was, however, Scrofula to Consumption. Any one predisposed to Scrofula can never be healthy and vigorous. This taint in the blood naturally drifts into Consumption. Being such a deep-seated blood disease, Swift's Specific is the only known cure for Scrofula, because it is the only remedy which can reach the disease.

Swift's Specific is the only remedy equal to such deep seated diseases; it goes down to the verv foundation and forces out every taint. It is purely egelabU, and is the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no mercury, potash or other mineral substance whatever.

SCARCITY OF SMALL BILLS Is Explained by United States Treas urer Ellis H.iSoberts, 2"Tew York, April 25 United States Treas urer Ellis H. Roberts, who is on a busi ness trip to this city, in talking last night of the scarcity of foills of small de nominations throughout the country, said: "This lack of small bills is due in some parts of the country to the fact that the bankers don't take the trouble to send in their bills of large denominations and get small ones in exchange. This is the case nearly everywhere, except in the larger citls of the east and in the northwestern states." In the northwest there has been, suoh a wave of prosperity during the last two years that the bankers and merchants have had no occasion to sand their money east, as they did in previous years. They are rich enough to keep their money at home. There was a lack of small bills in this city up to a few months ago, but now the bankers, merchants and business men of every kind have all the small bills they want. The revenue stamps on checks have probably had something to do with bringing into more general use the smaller bills. The reason we cannot Issue the smaller bills as fast as the bankers want them is because we are restricted bylaw. The law allows us to issue only ?346.O00,000 in United States notes, and tne silver cer tificates are restricted by the number of standard dollars held in the treasury. We are now printing only small bills and have a big supply on hand, but cannot issue them because of the restrictions I have mentioned. So the only recourse for the banks tha twant small bills Is to send in large bills in exchange for them. Although there is a shortage of small bills In circu lation, the treasury was never richer in funds than it is at the present time. KINLEY TILTS THE BARGE And .Los Angeles' .New Deepwater Harbor Is Under Wy. Los Angeles, Cal., April 26. The com mencement of actual work on the harbor at San Pedro commenced today, when President McKinley, in his library at the White House, pressed an electric button which caused a rock-laden barge to tXt its cargo on he spot where the contractors have designated the work to begin. Rep resentative peorie from p. s of Cali fornia were in attendance and people from Arizona, New Mexico, Utah ad Nevada witnessed the beginning of what is de stined to be one of the finest harbors on the Pacific coast. The dumping of the first load of rock was greeted by the mingled cheers of thousands of people, accompanied by the screeching of steam whistfes and the booming of cannon. A Strong; .Han's Secret.

ALVA MAKES DENIAL That an Auffnstu-Alvi Comity Seat War Is On. Alva, O. T., April 2G. (Special.) In the Eagle of the 20th there is an article under a Guthrie date stating that Augusta was out for a removal of the county seat from Alva to that point, and that a big fight was on hand at the present time. A Kansas City paper has a similar article, giving alleged statistics, but which are misleading. While there aro a few agi tators about Augusta, there is no occa sion for the statement that a county seat war is on. The merchants and business men of Alva and Augusta are on the best of terms and the people of the county ever realize that there is nothing to gain tby continual strife. There is absolutely no show for a division of this county on a removal of the county seat as long as this is a territory COURT AT STILLWATER Jndgo Burford 11 ill Ucjrin to Clear the Docket 3Ioii(luy.

Court will be in session until May 15, at which time an adjourned session of the April term will be convened at Chandler. But since Judge Burford has a reputation for put ting in full time, the attorneys and jury may expect to work early and late. The first day will be given to the hearing of motions and demurrers.

He has a good ranch down at Medicine Lodge, which he "took up" as go'ernment land in early times, a bunch of 400 or 500 cattle and various in vestments that cause him to be rated at $30,000 by the commercial agencies. For eight years he received a salary and al lowances amounting to over $3,500, or a total of $50,000 in payment for his services as a statesman. He has lived in a. frugal way upon his mileage, his postage and private secretary account, and has had a little Income from the ranch. So, having been too sensible to fool away his money, he is now well fixed and can enjoy the usufruct. John Otis, who stepped from a Topeka milk wagon into the house of represent tlves at Washington, is dead, they tell me here, but his wife still carries on the milk business at the old stand and doing well. He sprang suddenly Into prominence as the organizer of the Farmers' Alliance in this part of the state, with the pur pose of donig what he could to relieve the tolling masses. They sent him to con gres, but refused him a second term, and he became dissatisfied with them and with fate. After the excitement of life at Washington, he found It impossible to settle down to the curds and whey and wandered out west in the mining region in a vain search for the wealth he had despised and berated. And so the most of them have been pun ished because they taught false doctrines and tried to induce the people to worship false gods. Thero is no section of the country, as I said at the beginning of this letter, where a new idea will germin ate quicker or grow faster in the brains of a credulous people, but they soon dis cover when they have been fooled and resent it with vigor. COAT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS Mrs. 3Iason Talked Abontlt In Her Sermon List Xijrht. Mrs. Lena Mason preached last night from the text: "I have put my coat off; how shall I put it on?" It was one of the most eloquent sermons ever preached in Wichita, and tha large audience was overwhelmed with the religious fervor wrought by the speaker's power. Mrs. Mason .likened the coat spoken of in the text to the coat of righteousness and dwelt in this connection on both the wisdom and mistakes of Solomon. "Solomon prospered," sl'e said, "and his wisdom was the wonder of the world as long as he wore the coat of righteousness. Some of his wives brought him silver, some brought gold, some brought precious stones and so on, and when he had got seven hundred wives and became the wealthiest man in the world, he took off the coat, after which his prosperity and wisdom dwindled. Sickness came to his household, pestilence came to his people, kings threat ened him with war, and all his power and prestige seemed to forsake him. He had surely taken off the coat and knew not how to put it on. "If a man begin the building of a house In Wichita and he be poor, he will proba bly set the house on posts. He is not able to put it on a stone foundation, but after a whfje when he gets able he will have the house raised and build a stone foun dation under it. It is sometimes that way with sermons. Tonight I shall have to go away back to creation to get a foundation for this sermon. "These scientists try to tell U3 when the world first began to grow, and why. I say to you that I know just exactly when tho world was made God made It when he got ready. And I know as much about it as anybody. Some folks try to guess it out, but I don't. I know this book tells the truth. No guess work about It." The evangelist reviewed in a mott in teresting and graphic manner the story of the creation, referring most beautifully to many of the principal stages of God's creative work. "The last thing God made was man. The angels "whom he made before the earth was thought of had heard of this, and they immediately became Interested. We will suppose they held a council. They elected a chairman and secretary, and im mediately began to plan as to what they should do about God's latest creation, for they were vitally Interested. They ap- Why let your neighbors know it?

Promotion of Health; founder of the Margareth Fuller Society for tho study of Economics and Governments, and also President of the Chicago Moral Educa tional Society. Mrs. Chandler is an ardent friend of Pe-ru-na, and in writing to Dr. Hartman on the subject she stated, as follows CmcAOO, Jan. 6, 1839. Dear Doctor I suppose every one that Is confined to their desk and not getting the required amount of exercise, will, sooner or later, suffer with catarrh of pointed a committee to wait upon God and ask Him to make man like them. But -God rebuked them, saying: No: man must be made a little lower than the angels. So God made Adam, In all his perfectness just a little lower than th angels. Then he made Adam a helpmeet, not a wife but a helpmeet. Then he put the two m the garden o fEden, where alt was beautiful and good; not tree but what was majectic or fruit-laden; not a sprig or root but that was useful to man: not a foul of the air but that was beautiful: not a beast but what was docile: not a rep tile but what was harmless. ISverythhuc was perfect in its nature and beauty and usefulness. Adam and Eve had no carea. Here God did his first tailor work. made for Adam a coat. It was thn coat of righteousness. He and Evo wore this coat but a little while. They sinned giJt God's law and when they put off the coat trey knew not how to put It on. Then they fixed up a suit of their own. It wa made of fig leaves. When God found Adam, he was ashamed, for he was naked. and God made the third suit, which wa of skins, and he pronounced h"s cur?o on them and sent them out of the garden. Their first two sons. Cain and Abta, were afflicted with the demon of joalousy, the first sin after man began to multiply, and it is with us yet. Man bad taken off the coat. How should he put It on again? He would never have known had it not been for Jesus. We lost th coat of right eousness through the disobedience of Adam, but we can find it now through Jesus. "This coat is made of the cloth of right eousness, lined with tho lining et lore. sewed, with the thread of faith and the buttons are as the ttars of hope. It It made long enough to keep your feet off the dancing floor. Its sleeves come down o as to keep the hands from playing cards and the neck is tight enough to keop whisky from solxts down your throat. Many of you need such a coat. Some Christians wear thi coat part of the tlmo. They will put It on during a protracted meeting, or during a smallpox scare, or when they see a cyclone coming. But Jesus, who made it possible for you to put it on. wants you to wear it In son shine and rain aad happiness nd sorrow. You ought to -put it on tonight.

Tha letter-writing Kansas Twentieth have again made a courageous charge, to the admiration of the military world. This latest glory-winning achievement of the Sunflower boys came about as a part of the general movement against the Filipinos, and proved to be its most splendid feature. Some thirty miles north of Manila, and on the coast, is the town of Calumpit, where the main Filipino army has been stationed for the last few days. The American plan of attack has been to send Gen eral aiacArthur and General Halo directly north against Calum pit. At the same time General Lawton, instead of going di rectly northward against Calumpit, has been sent northeast to a point north and east of Calumpit. He is expected to bring his division down on Calumpit from the east and north, the idea being to inclose the main part of the Filipino army, capture it and thus gain a decisive victory. At the time the Kansas boys achieved new renown the plan was working. General MaoArthur, in whose movement the Kansas boys take part, marching directly against Calumpit from the south. Calumpit has to its south a meandering, deep river, about one hundred feet wide. This river is spanned by a rail road bridge. With them the Americans took a train of provis ions, pushed by Chinamen, and at the side of the train marched" the soldiers. At the bridge the Filipinos had cleared, a space and at the opposite side entrenched themselves behind rocks and bushes. The Montana and Utah regiments first engaged the Filipinos, the Kansas boys being held in reserve. At the word the Kansas boys charged across a. corn field for a quarter of a mile, cleaning out the Filipino. Captain Boitwood and company K were those who made this gallant charge. This company was now at the bridge. Across the river the Filipinos were pep pering away at them. Colonel Frederick Funston called for volunteers and he and five others began to crawl over the gird ers of the dismantled bridge, the Kansas boys on shore keep ing up a rattling fire to divert attention from the climbers. But the Filipinos saw the men on the bridge and began to shoot at them. Under this fire the six brave men reached a caisson, slipped down it, swam to shore and put the remaining Filipinos to rout This is the modern Kansas soldier, the son of the veteran, worthy son of a worthy sire, cool-headed, daring, business like. They are a fine set of young men. They write innumerable let ters home, all cheerful, all descriptive of the country in which they are fighting, all replete with Interesting incident and anec dote. The photographs they Bend home show them well and happy. There may be a lack of military -uniformity in the tilt of their slouch hats, and their shirts may be a trifle too neglige to suit a Prussian drill sergeant, and their boots coated with mud, but how those good-natured, bronze, happy-go-lucky boys from the sunflower patches, the cottonwood groves and the curly grassed prairies can fight! Death of Ex-Governor Oglesby. The death of Richard J. Oglesby removes from the sphere of human action one who was entitled to rank as one of the most distinguished figures in Illinois history since the days of Abraham Lincoln, says the Chicago Tribune. As a soldier, a politicians and a statesman, his career was notable as it was unique. He was one of the conspicuous leaders of his party during the last generation and an influential factor in public affairs. In common with the large majority of those who have ex erted the largest influence in the upbuilding of the state, ex-Governor Oglesby's beginnings were, like those of his friend and compatriot, Abraham Lincoln, as modest as they were humble, yet by sheer force of individual character he was able to rise from the position of an orphan-apprentice at the carpenter's bench to the highest positions within the gift of the people of his state. In the course of his public career he occupied a place successively at the bar in the central portion of the state, as a lieutenant in the Mexican war, as a member of the general as sembly, as the candidate of his party for presidential elector and later for congress, then served as a colonel of volunteers In the first months of the war of the rebellion, from which he was successively promoted to tho rank of brigadier general and major general, followed by his election after the' war for three times to the office of governor of the state and once to the United States senate. In each of these he was recognized as a leader of men to such an extent that, even after his retirement from public life, no public function wa3 regarded as complete which did not count Kichard J. Oglesby among its principal actors. The Tribune continues: If there was any feature of Governor Oglosby's character that was more conspicuous than all others, It was his earnest patriotism, which manifested itself in every preat public emergency and which he had the power in an eminent degree of imparting to all with whom he came in con tact. This was the secret of his strong influence over the sol diers under his command in the field as well as hi3 auditors when addresing them from the public platform. During all his public career there was probably no more striking illustration of this than the speech he delivered In the hall of representatives at Springfield in February, 1SC3, during the session of the Cop perhead legislature of that ear, when that body had under consideration the resolutions declaring the war a failure, de manding the wltiidrawal of the emancipation proclamation, and proposing the appointment of a commission to arrange for an armistice with the south. Rising from a sick bed, to which he had been confined for nearly five months in consequence of a wound in the lungs received at Corinth in the October previous at the time believed to be fatal he came to Springfield and de livered probably tho most eloquent speech of his life. It aioused the union sentiment of the state and, by strengthening the hands of the administration, prepared the way for the proroga tion of the legislature by Governor Yates at the adjourned ses sion in June following- Again he spoke with tremendous power at the great union mass meeting held at Springfield, September S, 1SH, before which President Lincoln's memorable letter de fending hie emancipation policy was read. Ther could be no stronger evidence of Governor Oglesby's great personal popularity than his election for three terms to tne office of state executive. In this hfs career stands out conspicuous ad without a parallel in tho history of the state. His second election was followed promptly by his promotion to the United States senate for a term of six years, while his third, in 16S4, came to him emphatically unsought and as a free tribute from his party and the people. His death leaves a va cancy on the roll of Illinois' most eminent heroes and states men which wiM be deplored wherever the virtues of patriotism and integrity are respected. g, The Oldness of Telegraphy. Practical use ef wlretew telegraphy on a extensive scale may seem far distant to che lay mind, yet the progress which has been made 4s remarkable, especially whets it is considered how slow was the development of the telegraph itself. The year 1857 te generally recognised as ixl of the birth of the telegraph, but Samuel F. Morse began bis experiments as early as 1532. His first practicable instrument was not perfected until 1S36. It was a clamey affair, &ad his friends ridiculed him for wasting bis time and money on such a useless toy. This "toy" is now in the cabinet of the Westers Union Telegraph company 4 of Xew York. There is little about it to susgeet the seat little instrument in use today. The story of Morse's twelve yean' struggle before he could induco congress to make appropriation for an experimental line is a familiar anecdote to Hlustmte the struggles of inventors to gain a hearing from the world. During these years to ord inal idea was greatly mettfted. Monse knew nothing q what is known as the Morse alphabet. Hie complicated lytfttn. s described in his 1837 caveat, consisted of a number of sns by which numbers and oooeequently sentences ere to be indicated. There wa when a set of type armagad to regulate and communi cate the signs and rules in which to set thic type. A acQk turned ty k-t"d regulated loa forward movement f the urae. The WTitlisr aiaratue made marks on a slip f paper. Vafl dis carded this and invented the dot and dash alphabet which is now in use. A London paper contains the assertion that Marconi was not the real inventor of the system of wireless telegraphy. "W. H. Freece, electrician and engineer-in-chief to the postoffice, noticed in 1SS4 that owing to induction messages passing along one wire could be read on a wire eighty feet away. Early in 1S9, when the cable connecting the Island of Mull with the main land was broken, Mr. Preece succeeded in communicating over the two miles by means of induction. Use was made of two gutta percha insulated wires that ran parallel to each other, one on the mainland and one on the shore of the island. During the four days that elapsed before communication was satisfac torily established, 16S messages were transmitted, including a press dispatch of 120 words. In spite of this prior claim, Marconi's name will be associ ated with wireless telegraphy, just as Morse's name is with that of the telegraph, although Henry and Vail did more than he to perfect it, and It was anticipated by a score of other inventors, such as Schilling, Gauss, "Weber, Steinhill, and Cooke. The idea itself had leng been a dream of the imagination, and as early a VmZI Gi'iieo, the great astronomer, referred to a secret art by which, through the sympathy of magnetic needles, it would be possible to converse at great distances. Where Croker Got Some of It, The Mazet investigation in New York is developing how political bosses can get money corruptly without having any thing to show on the books in such a way as to furnish evidence of corruption. It is being demonstrated that political bosses can get rich out of offices they hold and control without really robbing the people directly. Incidentally the committee is find ing out where Croker got It. Andrew Freedman, a representative of the United States Fidelity and Guarantee company, was before the committee as a witness. The principal business of this compahy is to furnish bonds for public officials. It furnishes bonds for most of the Tammany official in New York who are controlled by Boss Croker. There is, of course, a good profit in the busioess. Mr. Freedman testified that while his company had paid no divi dends on its stock, he, as manager, received a salary and com misions. These he divided with Richard Croker, under a purely personal arrangement The money was not paid to Croker as a dividend on the latter's small holding of stock, but as a pri vate matter. Freedman denied that he had paid Croker as much as fifty thousand dollars a year, but he would not deny that the payments amounted to half that sum. Of course the manager of the Fidelity and Guarantee com pany has the right to use his money as he pleases, but the connection between such payments and the business of the com pany in guaranteeing Tammany officials over whom Croker Is admitted to have absolute control make3 the transaction suspicious. American Rule in Cuba. The people of Cuba are already feeling the beneficent effects of American rule. Not only aro the affairs of the island being systematized, but the restoration of order has resulted in a re vival of agriculture, and the people are in a fair way to become prosperous and happy to a degree they never dreamed of under Spanish lule. A dispatch from Havana tells of the operation of the recent order of General Brooke, the military governor, concerning the uses to which the customs revenues are to be put. The grum bling in tho various provinces because all the revenue could not be used for local improvements has largely ceased since General Brooke has made it clear that the money Is to be de voted to the various branches of the Insular government that Is to be established. Indeed, it is said, that the customs taxes will more than meet the expenses of government, and that a considerable surplus will be left for the assistance of the munici palities when help is needed. The revival of agriculture has resulted in a substantial In crease In the crops. It is estimated that the yield of sugar in the Island will bo about 75,000 tons greater than in 189S, while the tobacco crop is said to be larger than for several years and of an excellent quality. There Is no reason why the people of Cuba should not be cheerful. Everything is moving along nicely at present, and there are better days ahead for the Cubans than they ever had enjoyed or ever could enjoy under Spanish rule. A Western Man for Speaker. The Republican members of the house of representatives from the west will fail to be true to their section of the country if they do not insist that a western man shall be chosen speaker to succeed Thomas B. Reed. This honer belongs to the west. Only two states in that section have ever had speakers of the house of representatives. They are Ohio and Indiana. Schuyler Colfax of Indiana was speaker for three terms, while John W. Davis and Michael C. Kerr, both Democrats, from the same state, held the office, the former for one term, and the latter for a part of a term. Gen eral J. W. Keifer of Ohio, a Republican, was speaker for one term. The Cleveland Leader thinks the east has been honored more than it deserves in this respect, and the time has come for the west to asert itself. The great section on the sunset side of the Alleghenies is growing In population and business Importance, as wel as in Republicanism, and furthermore it has plenty of men in congres fitted in every way to occupy the place which Thomas B. Reed is to vacate. If the western members of the house stand together for a candidate upon whom they ought to agree, they ought to have no difficulty in landing the prize. -O- China Is bubbling. The Mohammedans murder the Buddhists, and the Buddhists murder the Christians, and the European nations are demanding concessions, and Russia Is taking them. Some of these days the world will see the flames shoot through the roof. As shown in the mutilation of that neso in Georgii, when a man joins a mob and shares its spirit, he occupies a footing with his unenlightened ancestry which danced together in the jungle holding each other's tall. It turns out that 75 per cent ef the officers and men thought the refrigerated meat was good, and 25 per cent thought it was bad. That means that part of the meat was bad, but most of it good. An English parson has created great excitement by remark ing: "I say God damn the Sultan." This sounds like profanity, hut It Isn't. That is just what will happen to the Sultan some day. England discovered that the natives had raised the British flag over Palawan. Great Britain sent a ship there and made them take It down. England is acting mighty square. The feat of sending dispatches all over tne country from New York with one key, accomplished In New York Tuesday, Is mar velous. And as usual Wichita was in it. C Coghlan will not be reprimanded.

That was the advertisement that ap peared in a newspaper of a rainy Mon day morning in November, IS. Glenvtlle was nothing more than a little country settlement, withi a red brick town hall and a labyrinth of narrow streets which seemed to have been laid out with special reference to the be wilderment of any chance passer who might find himself involved In their maze. Mr. Reginald Chillingfleld, who had been out for a walk in the street, was met on the threshold of the hotel by the boot boy, who said: "O, please sir, there's a lot of 'em all a-askin' for you." "A lot of what?" demanded Mr. Chill Insfield. Reginald Chillingfleld was tall and slen der and handsome, with bright blue eyes and a straight nose which latter feature he rubbed as he stood staring at Mike Updown. "Of ladies, sir. Come to answer the ad vertisement." "OI" said Mr. ChiUIngham," "I recol lect now." The array of feminine faces, all ex pectantly turned toward him, was enough to awe the stoutest bachelor heart, and Reginald Chillingfleld closed the parlor door with a bang. "Jones," he said to his familiar friend, who had Just lighted a cigar in the read ing room, "what shall I do?" "In respeot to what?" MMy Aunt Polly's companion. There's a dozen of 'em there, apparently all ages from 16 to 60. My Aunt Polly doesn't want twelve companions." "Have 'em admitted one by one." sug gested Jones, and on this hint Mr. Chill ingfleld promptly acted. "You sit and pretend to be reading the newspaper," whispered Chillingfield, "and if you like the applicant's looks, cough! If you don't crackle the newspaper! Dear me, my shirt collar Is wet already; my face is burning. Why could not Aunt Polly have hunted up her own compan ion Z Yes, Mike, all ready. Ask one of the ladies to walk In." And with a grin, Mike announced: "Miss Zerinah Hall." Miss Hall was tall, scant-haired, and spectacled, In a robe of gingham and a drab silk hat. "I am seeking a situation, young man," she said, "not from necessity, but because In middle life one feels the lack of com panionship. I hope the elderly lady men tioned in the advertisement is a church member?" Crackle! crackle! went the newspaper. Chillingfield glanced guiltily at his friend. "No, she's not; that is I think, per haps, a younger person. You did not say how old you were, Miss Hall." Miss Zerinah went out, closing the door behind her with a bang. Mrs. Hawkesbury, the next candidate, was a clairvoyant and spiritualist. "I think I could amuse the old lady with foretelling the future," she said. "That wa sthe way I did at my three last situations." "Three!" repeated Mr. Chillingfield. "Jones, dear fellow, don't rustle that pa per so vehemently. Did so you say three? How did you happen to leave those situa tions?" "The visitation of Providence, sir," said Mrs. Hawkesbury. "They all died the respected ladies whom it was once my duty and my pleasure to" The next was too deaf, the next too fleshy, the third was unwilling to live with any lady who did not keep a man servant, the fourth wanted to high a sal aryso on, ad infinitum, until the news paper was fairly crackled to pieces. Until at length, there was, so o speak, a "tie" between the last two candidates. Ruth Coxe was just 19, pretty as a sweet pea blossom, and ready to undertake any desmription of service, to escape from her stepmother and nine turbulent half-broth ers and sisters. Helen Howard was a queenly young woman anf five-and-twenty, who read like Mrs. Scott-Siddons, sang delicious Scotch ballads, and frankly owned that she need ed a home! Mr. Jones coughed himself purple In the face over both of them. "You couldn't do better, Reginald," said he, "than to take" "Which one?" "Both!" "But you must remember that I have only got one Aunt Polly. A choice must be made." "Toss up a copper." "You irreverent villlan!" "Draw cuts, then. Look! I write 'Helen' on one, 'Ruth' on the other. Pres to! Change! Now draw! Ruth has won the day!" So Mr. Reginald Chillingfield took Ruth Coxo home with him to the domiciliary abode of his Aunt Polly by evening train, leaving Helen Howard sad and quiet. "You are disappointed," said he. "I wish I could engage you both. "Yes," said Helen, "I am disappointed, I confess. Life Is hard and stern to me." "RnHnnld fihilllnsrfleld thought over her words. They haunted him and not only her words, but the garnet brown snaaows of her eyes. And a week afterwards he went back to Glenville. "Yes, Miss Howard is at home," said the shabby maid-of-ajl-work at the third rate boarding house where Miss Howard lived. "Walk in." And Chillingfield walked In, to find Miss TTnwnrrl trtP-a-tPte With Mr. Jones. "Hello!" cried Jones. "Who would ever have thought of seeing you?" "I might say the same," laughingly re torted ChiHIngflpld, as he took Miss How ard's hand. "But I have news for you. Miss Helen." "I have heard of an excellent situation near mv aunt's an Invalid lady, whose husband" "Hang the Iiu-alid lady and her hus band!" interposed Jones. "I was Just go ing to write you about it. old boy. We are to be married tomorrow." "No!" cried Reginald. "Then I'll stay to the wedding. But" "Well?" "Un-t it- Mftpr a. sudden arrangement?" "Life is full of sudden things," said J Jones philosophically. "Helen is willing to run the risk." And so the troublesome question was settled satisfactorily to all parties. New York Daily News.
