Like all the Olympla's company. Admiral Dewey is much run down by his long stay in a tropical port without change and under the rigid conditions incident to a war foot ing. All are delighted at the respect of returning home. The officers have had 2ittle shore leave and have been obliged cuwaye to be on board ship by sundown. The crew have had still loss leave and show the effect of a year spent on a hot Bhip undor an enervating sun.

Admiral Dewey today cabled the navy department from Manila that he had reconsidered his plans respecting the Boston and had con cluded to allow the cruiser to come to the Vnited Statoa at once. The admiral said nothing further as to his own return to the United States. The officials of the (navy department expressed some surprise at the announcement through the As sociated Press cablegrams from Manila, that Dewey -will occupy four montlis in the cruise homeward. (However, it is sup posed that he desires to delay his arrival in the United States, until the hot weather of summer has passed .being already de bilitated from his long exposure to the enervating heat of the Philippines. The it'lmiral will stop about two weeks at liong Kon:.cleaning his ship and fitting nut thoroughly for his homeward tirip. lie will also make stops at Singapore, Malta and Gibraltar. CONSUL BARRETT RETURNS hay: Itryan ami Atkinson nro the Kenl Filipino Xeiulcr. Xev York, May 13. Former Minister to Biajn John Barrett returned on the steamship St. Paul today, after an ab sence from this country of nearly five j ears. Since May, 1S98, Mr. Barrett has spent much of Ihis time in the Philip 1 nes. In an interview tonight he said 'I left Manila on March IS. At that time General Lawton toad arrived and was making plans for an active campaign. The situation in the Philippines when 1 left there was hopeful.

There Ei .is not been a speech in either house of v-ngree or any other matter of protnln- nee concerning the Philippines that has siot become quickly known to Aguinaldo fid his soldiers. As soon as anything detrimental to the aggressive policy is j.ubhshed it is cabled to Hong ong, where it is received within 24 hours by mem Vrs of the Filipino junta and within two iUvs is in the hands of Agunaldo and bis omewa." Regarding die action of Edward U l.mson of Boston, and his followers, Mr. Uurett said: "The attitude of Mr. Atkin- n has fallen completely fiat among the merxaa soldiers.

I must decline the hospitality of the Pacific coast. Condition of my health makes absolute rest and quiet imperative." PLAYING FOR TIME AGAIN Aguinaldo Hesumcs the Attempt to Hat Up n Peace lallc. Manila, May 13 (G:20 p. m.). The Ilipinos have resumed the attempt to induce the Americans to discuss the situation. Reyes, a young lieutenant on the staff of Gen eral Gregorio Delpair, came to General Lawton today under a flag of truce. He was accompanied by a barefooted bugler. The two were escorted to Manila by Cap tain Dewall, of General Lawton's staff. Reyes told Major General Otis that Agui naldo desired passes for a military com mission to come to Manila to confer with the American-Philippine commissioners. General Otis 'replied that passes would not be necessary, as unarmed commissioners could enter the American lines. He would leave the matter, he said, in General Law ton's hands. Lieutenant Reyes returned this evening to Bacolor. F0RE1GNERS0RDERED OUT fro in the Itebel laiie--Ajiuinaldo on 'Conquering tne United ftnten." Manila, May 1012:30 p. m Aguinaldo has issued orders that all foreigners must leave insurgent territory within forty eight hours. There are a few commercial men there, mostly English and German. Aguinaldo believes that by refusing them ithe rights of non-combatants he con force thir j?-ovrnmnts to recosmize the bel ligerency of his so-called government, in order that they may treat tor the catety of their subjects. A Filipino priest who had talked v-ith the Tasal sreneral. Treas, has brought to Father McKinnon, chaplain of the First California regiment, a copy or a letter written by Aguinaldo to General JTreas, asking his opinion as to the ad visability of surrendering, saying: "I fear that the long warfare that will be neces sary to conquer tho United States will reduce the country's resources too much." Mr. Holmes, a Canadian subject, who, with his partner in the sugar manufac turing business at Calumpit, Mr. Carncic, an American, was recently captured by tho Filipinos, reports that he was in formed by his captors that he might leave whenever he wished to do to. He refused to go unless CanriCk was permitted to accompany him, and said: "We go or stay together." The ourtain wftt go down in a few days on the fighting in the island of Luzon. "vVorkingmen are preparing for another act n the drama which will necessarily disperse the Filipinos. The rebels are so close to San Fernando as to make life tin -tiiHt nla uncomfortable while they (remain in 'their present position. The armies of the United States have ad vanced so far that the question of trans rmrmHon hn? become the jrreat problem. TTo solve it, engineers are repairing to Bagbag bridge so that it will oe fcaie ior tho passage of the trains and give railroad connection between Manila ana san z-er- nando. In the meantime supplies ship ped to Calumpit have to bo hauled nt wyi mHf-i -in "Mflinr General MacArthur at San Fernando and twenty miles to "Major General Lawton at Bacolor, by bullock carts, and every cart had to be ferried separately on a raft across the Rio Grande two or three times. The roads are rough and after the dally showers, which aro fore-runners of the rainy sea son, so soft that) it Is impossible to mako more than a mile an hour. The few mules that aro here have been found to bo greatly superior to bullocks for this work. The latter die unless they are giv frequent baths, and the heat has kiNed so many that carting is now all done by night. Tho potticv of human warfare has its disadvantages. Among the thousands of pretended friendly natives, who are re turning to their homes behind the Ameri can armies there are some who have ta vor. rwiv-nntnsTA of the srenerosity of the conquerors to make the zone nnsafe un less Americans go won anucu nu m i tles. Soldiers going about alone are fre quently fired upon from houes or from behind busies. During the past week it has been found necessary to send guard with wagons and ambulances and several attempts have been maWo wreck trains by placing obstructions Von the railway track. LONG SAYS IT'S ALL RIGHT For tho American People to Build u. noue For Ilewoy. Washington, May 13. Secretary Long today said of the proposition to present Admiral Dewey with a home to be paid for by popular subscription: "The pro posed gift of a homo to Admiral Dewey is not only a great and deserved tribute to him, but an expression of the gener ous gratitude of the people. It is some thing in w hich they will all wish to share and in which the widow's mite would be as groat as the millionaire's check. Hand some as is the gift, the spirit that prompts it is stilt finer." Xew York, May 13. Assistant Secretary-of the Treasury Frank A. Vanderhp has consented to act as the chairman of f.he notional committee to provide a resi dence In "Washington for Admiral Dewey. This form if testimonial of national grat itude wad suggested as being the most suitable, by Rear Admiral Upshur, re tired, whose letter to the Brooklyn Eagle in this Tegard was published on May 11. Assistant Secretary of the iNavy Charles II. Allen has consented to act on behalf of tiie navy on the committee of which Mr. Vanderiip is chairman. Mx. Vanrferlip mated that he regarded the proposition as the most sensible suggestion ye made in the way of honoring the admiral. Sec retary of th Xavy Long, in commenting upon the action of Mr. AMen. said: "I am glad he has accepted the place on the committee, and I think the selection of Mr. Vanderiip as chairman a most ex cellent one." The matter has been taken up vigor-pui- by the Brooklyn Eagle and other newspapers, and the Eagle Mates that It has received from all over the country promises of support that assure the suc cess of the plan. The Bngie announces that the names of United States Treasurer F. H. Robertsc Brigadier General H. C. Corbin. adjutant general of the United States arms', and Assistant Postmaster GeiKrafi Perry S.

Havana May 13. General Gomez is act ing queeriy regarding the distribution of the $3,000,000 advanced by the United gov ernment for the payment of the Cuban troops, and the commissioners chosen by him to assist in the distribution as repre sentatives of the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth army corps either refuse to act or fail to appear. Generals Betancourt and Nodoxez were appointed to act for the Fifth corps, but the latter declined' to serve and on the suggestion of General "Wilson, General Carlos Rojas was selected. General Rojas called upon the governor general and promised to meet the other commission ers on Monday. Roja then called upon General Gomez, and an hour later wrote a note to General Chaffee, General Brooke's chief-of-staff, declining to serve, but giving no reason for his action. General Francisco Carillo, one of the commissioners for the Fifth army corps, arrived In the city yesterday, but did not visit the American headquarters. The commissioners for the 'Fifth corps weTe to meet this morning, but did not mako their appearance and General Brooke sent Cap tain Page to Inquire to Gomez why none of his generals were on hand. In the In terview with the governor general's repre sentative, the Ouban commander anneared indifferent and seemed not to care wheth er tho commissioners came or not. He made no suggestions. As the United States autnorities are un ableto begin the disbursement of the money without the assistance of the Cu bans, General Brooke is astonished at the indifference shown by Gomez. The even ing papers assert that Gomez is dissatis fied with the terms of the governor gen eral's order for payment and did not con sent to have tho arms of the disbanded troops placed in the custody of the Amer ican military authorities. This evening General Brooke sent Major Kcnnon, of his staff, to see Gomez regarding the situa tion. Gomez declared thata he was unable to explain why the generals would not serve, and expressed the belief that their action was due to the influence of his ene mies. He said also that he would call upon General Brooke on Monday. Senor Xolasco, Gomez's secretary, said tonight that Gomez would not agree to have the arms in the arsenals undsivcftn trol of the Americans and wanted them to bo in custody of the Cubans exclusively. As General Gomez saw the order regarding the disposition of the arms before it was made public, and approved it, this is a new attitude. The fact seems to be that the Cuban commander feels that he is losing his hold upon Cuban opinion. He has been startled by the cancatures and attacks which have appeared in the local press, and wishes apparently to prolong the ray ment of the troops and then gain fine for his political maneuvers; and possibly to withdraw altogether from the negotiations laying the blame for his course upon Gen eral Brooks, and then to lead a violent anti-American party. Gomez is said to be greatly disappointed at being unable to get General Brooke to agree to his sug gestion for an army of 15.000 Cubans. The Cuban colonel, Enrique Collazco, in a letter to La Lucha. published today, sounds an alarm and calls the Cubans to witness the danger of the country in longer submitting to the Americans. In his communication. Colonel Collazco says: "Tho conclusion Is logical that we cannot servo Cuba and America, their ideas be.ng contradictory. "We are treated as enemies, our customs aro destroyed and we ore compelled to speak English. The Ameri cans have proved the falshy of the prom ises they have made and our Meal of in dependence is endangered. Fighting as we fought, to abandon it today is impossible. The moment iias arrived, without doubt, when we should unite with the same en ergy with which we fbusht the Spaniards." The wrrter declares further that the McKinley administration is the mortal en emy of the Cubans. General Mnyin Rodriguez has received a telegram from Santiago signed "Veteran." saying: "Wire the amount it is decided the soldiers shall receive. The soldiers of the province refuse to deliver their arras." Rodriguez replied that each men's share would be $75. A meeting of army officers will be held on Sunday to decide finally upon the acceptance of the American terms. HOW THE TRUSTS WORK IT To Oct the 'Independent' Producer Out of Their 1Vy. Washington.

'T would not want to say that I had re ceived any railroad rates,' he said. "Would you want to say that you had not received any?" asked Mr. Living stone. "That would depend upon what court I was before," was the reply. ONE YEAR FOR MANSLAUGHTER Mrs. Crosby .Sentenced in Chicago Her Son Acquitted. Chicago, May 13.

Wreck, in Its Results, Than at First Reported, CONFUSION OF ORDERS Is Responsible-Investigation Is Being Held, (Reading, Pa., May 13. The wreck which occurred last night on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad at Exeter, six miles south of here, was prdbnsbly the worst that has ever occurred in .this state. Twenty eight dead and fifty injured, &ome so badly that thy may not recover, s the awful re sult of the accident. The cause of the disaster is still involved In mystery and officials of the road are Investigating in order to place the blame. The man n the signal station at Exeter station claims to have had the signs properly displayed. In a statement today. General Superin tendent Jj. A. Swgard, of the Reading railway, said the prime cause of the acci dent was a block of 'freight care on the track, which were taking a. siding at Birds boro and which compelled the express to stop at Exeter. It Is not known as yet whether a signal man -was sent, back to. no tify the special or second section. Many prominent men were passengers on the forward train, among them Senator Boies Penrose, Colonel Henry D. Paxon, Philadelphia; General John Cchalo of Nor rlstown, and Colonel George Sehall, the general's brother, who was k.lled. On the second train were some twenty vet erans of Hanranft's Fifty -first regiment, which ho commanded In 'the civil war, and a company of the Seventh Pennsylvania Infantry, national guard, a few of wsiom were injured. A strange feature of the disaster was the fact that not one woman was killed and only one was Injured. Xor rlstown is in mourning, as the greatest number of dead and injured were residents of that nlacc In the afternoon Coroner Wilson H. Rothermal empaneled a jurytand, v6itlng the different morgues, they viewed the bodies. The jury adjourned, to assemble at the call of the coroner. When asked when he could hold the inquest. Coroner Rothermal replied that he thought it would be Tuesday afternoon but that he could not state definitely. They left Read ing on a special train at 1 p. m. and viewed the scene of the wreck. Superintendent Wilson of the main line division, when asked if it was not a mls take for the tran to back to the station, replied: "I think the train should have' been left where It stopped, but I cannot speak of the cause until the matter is (thoroughly investigated' The corrected list of killed and injured is as (follows.

Only The Hvo stock markets yesterday -were aH hlgtior, as was also the provision mar ket. Thre was a light supply all over and the usual Saturday light run was ex perienced at this point along- with the rest. It was a generally lifeless day at the Wichita yards, there being only an ummportant supply of hogs either from the wagon trade or tihe car line. There was no trouble in selling: hogs and good fait porkers would have brought good prices. A it was, all the offerings -were readily disposed of and at the best fig ures possible. There wa one load from Suetner BJiur of liyons which was of very fair quality, ajid theee brought the top price of the day, $3.50. There were tome others also of very fair grade and fcome cars of decidedly mixed stuff, bear-:rg- a few good hogs with heavy stags and rough bows. There were some lots j&sorted first, and the cut outs soki sepa 3iteiy. The Farmers Drovers' Bank of Mt. Hope had in a car of hogs which f-old on the close, the big end of it at a tood bulk price, without dock. The day closed with everything cleaned up and ne weeK showing up very well, all con ditions considered. There was a very fair tupplj' of hogs the past week, the heavy roads most of the time being against country marketing. Prices paid were very satisfactory and the demand good. There have been some poor hogs in, but they were handled to the best possible advantage of the shipper. There have V-en a few days in the week when this market showed up pronounced strength oer any other western point, this point freung- quoted as steady when all otners were from weak to 5c lower. This has been true on several occasions, and speaks well for the tone and inherent strength of the local toading-. Good fat hogs sell till rht, and oven those not so prime are tltepoed of always at the best figures which oouH be obtained anywhere. While yesterday was light, both in receipts and activity, the prices were good and the quotation wns strong .to 5 cents higher, alonp with the best of any livestock points. itJSi-KiSSEXTATIVE SALES.

Mr. Joseph Chamber lain blossomed forth this week as a suc cessful beggar in the caube of' philan thropy. Te recemtly asked 250,000 pounds ($1,250,000.) for the Birmingham University, and Mr. Andrew Carnegie's gift practic ally completes the sum required. Tne con ditions of Mr. aCrnegie's donation meet the warm approval of the press. The Daily News suggests that Mrs. Chamber lain's sweet compulsion was, instrumental in securing Mr. .aCrnegie's handsome con tribution. Mr. Chamberlain on Wednes day presded at a dinner in aid of a fund for the establishment of his school of tropical medicine, and by the time, coffee was reached subscriptions amounted $jto 15,000 pounds ($79,000) had been announced. Mr. ChanVberlain, in the course of ar In teresting speech at this dinner, on "The White Man's Burden," dwelt upon the fact that the greatest enemy of the white man was not the hostility of savage chiefs, the Influence of barbarous customs of ithe phy sical difficulties of tropIcnJ countries, but malarial fever.. A new school, devoted to experiment and research for remedies for tropical diseases wfll toe situated in the vi cinity of the docks, where subjects are never lacking. President Seth Low, of Columbia Uni versity, New York, who is here en route to the peace conference at The Hague, in discussing the gift of Mr. Carnegie's gift to ithe Birmingham University with itho correspondent of the Assocated Press, says: "The conditions attached to the gift, that the scientific school be made (the principal department of the institution, Is wise, and characteristic of the donor. Our American universities from the first adapted themselves to the immediate needs and aspirat.ons of the people. The tendency in England is towards a too con servative and stereotyped fixed curricula. Oxford and Cambride are going to foe left by other univenckies where utilitarian needs are catered for. In this lies the present strength of Germany, and America Is forging ahead in her electrical and gen et al mechanical production. Englishmen will very soon recognize that Mr. Carne gie's idea 'is correct, and adapt their com mercial nurseries more to the needs of tho country. Everybody here seems awake to America's tendency to forge ahead and her way of 'getting there' at any cost; and you will see Englishmen, who are now hesitating whalt line to take, will ere long rush Ho foMow America's example." "Regarding the peace commission," Mr. Low said, "I am not free to speak. We all recognize the greait responsibility that has (boon thrust upon us, but we cannot make nny statement respecting the lines on which we shall proceed. I can ay that our instructions are definite and distinct. No opportunity for bringing the czar's hu mane Wlsnes into cueci m jikuuji considered by tho American representa tives." With, beautiful summer-like weather this week, ho seasons seems to be finally in fuM swing. The hotels, picture exhibitions and Rotten Row are crowded daily, while numerous parties gvon by hostesses prom inent in the social world, fill every night.

Wash'ngton, May 13. The stories of disagreements between General Brooke and General Ludlow over matters affect ing the government of Havana cause no nJs own surprise here, where both men are so well known. Brooke is the embodiment of the cut-and-dried routine of military official ism; Ludlow is a man who has not the patience to untie troublesome knots when they can just as well be slit Brooke's answer to every criticism of his official conduct has uniformly been the produc tion of the papers in the case, showing that he had intrenched himself securely behnd priecedents, and done everything according to rule; Ludlow, wherever he has beei, has made his individuality so pronounced as fairly to take away the breath of the bureaucrats. The light house board is still at work straightening out soma of his transactions while he had charge of a district in its service. The tranactions were perectly creditable in themselves, but they were sometimes In fiat defiance of Instructions, nnd re quired the officer performing them to take upon himself a pretty hard financial responsibility, The board would decide that a lighthouse should be put up in a certain place, but Ludlow would pick out another site which he thought better, and would proceed to build there, unless stopped in time, All the work he did was excellent and the government got its full money's worth, but mere questions of routine played no part in the trans action, Many stories are still told here of Lud low's odd ways of disposing of men whose methods he despised. It is recalled that an Irish contractor who had been doing government work for some years paid a visit to Ludlow fcoon after he had taken charge of an important undertaking in the building line, and introduced himself, slyly laying down wth his card a crisp fifty-dollar bill. It was his way of "feel ing of" a new man. If Ludow had Ig nored the performance absolutely and the bill had remained lying on the table when the contractor went out, the latter would have assumed that he had found a kindly critic for his work; or had the test drawn forth a violent rating and perhaps a blow or a kick, he would have tried to laugh the whole matter off. but would have been careful not to repeat the experiment. Ludlow, however, neither axected to Ignore the incident nor lot his temper over it. On the contrary he looked at the card, and remarked pleas antly: "So you are Mr. Patrick Flah erty?" "That is my name, sor," answered the visitor. "And you have called to see me about getting some contract work for the gov ernment?" "I have, sor." "Well, Mr. Flaherty," said Ludlow, '1 suppose we can talk more freely over a cigar. Do you smake?" He drew from his pocket two cigars, handing one to the contractor and put the other between his own Hiw. Thm look ing around don his table, as if for a match and finding none, he coolly took the fifty dollar note, twisted it into a lighter, set 1 it aflame from the open grate fire, lighted cigar, and, without changing 33ffi countenance, ppassed the stump of the burning bill over to the contractor, whose appetite for tobacco seemed to have ex perienced a &udden check. The conversa tion d'd not last long, but the contractor went away with a new idea into his head, if not about contracts, at least about Ludiow.

An exchange says: "In the history of the Kansas Federation from its beginning in tlie old Social Science olub, there has never been so large or entnusfetstic a nueting as the one just eloped at Junc tljn City. One hundred nd thirty-two delegates regKtered the first day. Many came later and the visitors were legion." The Topeka Capital says: "This meet ing was in every respect a thorough suc cess, and it is safe to venture that not one woman came away without feeling that she was ready for broader and better work. All this sounds hackneyed, and it will be argued, perhaps, that ail the sn nual -meeting! are supposed to have that effect. But this meeting was an inspira tion in the superlative degree. Everyone ho went seemed to be armed wita the vey best she had to give, and that best. i- the majority of case?; proved to be re markably good." Airs. Huron's Department of Philan thropy aroused an interest that was man ifested by the lively dtecuesion and the v gnroaa applause -which followed. Many yh lanthropical suggestions were made. fi the Department of Science. Mrs. Mar 4 a cnairroan.

Mrs. W. A. McCarter's plea for more .terest In school work, and co-operation v.th teachers by the club women of the lie, wis heartily endorsed, and appre- a ted by the teachers present. The u ""irtendent of the schools, Professor Indrick. was a regular attendant vjugb the session. The subjects. "What are the Needs of r p. joIs?" and "How Can Club "Women T p Meet These Xeed3?" were ably dfe jed by Mrs. J. D. McFarland of To- '-ka in a bright, breezy paper. She ad- tes better sanitation, shorter hours i improved methods of heating, with rr re thought given to the arrangement f w ndows and light fumfe-hed. Mrs. Hat tie Graves of Emporia had an resting paper on "Industrial Educa i (followed by Miss Irwin with an 'xiibU of work done, and explanaticra of irans and methods in che Industrial Class supported by club women of Emporia. uld all these helpf ul papers and pro- 'riinfrs be pished they would be ?nd of rreat value in going out over the t ite in our traveling library.

Prentte, of Kansas City, Mo. i Although she lives in another state she stlH belongs to us by "the tie that oinds." She is an oid. Social Science member, a State Federation member, an honorary member in several clubs, e dub member in Kansas City, Kansas, and has one or two clubs named 'for her. A state meet ing would not toe complete without her presence and that of her co-worker in Chautauqua. Assembly work. Mrs. L. B. Kellosg. The presentation of a floral offering to Mrs. 3. R. Peters from the Federation as a loving token of appreciation of her good worK was a graceful tr-bute from the club women and visibly touched the heart of the retiring president. Mrs. H. G. Toler gave the flowers in behalf of the Feder ation. Many nice things were said of ie vte iting club -women at Junction City of their dignified appearance, new spr.ng millinery and good clothes, and even the hotel por ter, not to be outdone, passed a high com pliment when he said: "There is not a crank among them." The delightful ride to Fort Riley, one of the social features of the Federation, was a treat never to be forgotten-Although the fort was a-knost deserted, the band still lingered and gave us a- concert of an hour's length while we admired and en joyed 'the beautiful cenery and were re freshed by the delicious? cool lemonade. The Riding Hall was a wonder to many, and m the military explanation of every thing we became entirely lost, but tbe drive and country, fort and monuments, afforded pleasure which wiH long be remembered. In the closing "business of the Federa tion a resolution was passed unanimously tendering a vote of thanks to the "Wichi ta Eagle" for the free use of its columns to the president and the executive board of the past administration, and two col umns weekly for the dissemination of club news. This was a courtesy greatly ap preciated and the past president and board wisb to add their personal thanks. The same courtesy has been generously offered and accepted by the new administration, and the Eagle for another year will con tinue -to publish the "Official Club Col umn." The greatest good that is evolved from these meetings of clubs is not a rsu't of the papers on literature or the talks on art. though they are not to be underes timated. It lies in the stimulus to real work for the betterment of oiners that crmes from hearing the reports from the v?rlous cKihs. Each club viis with the other in having a full report to give. He'n ful work In any direction is chronicled. San'tary improvement, scholarship, estab lishing libraries, etc., etc.. are the mest common philanthropies of the clubs. Clubs that have been careless about launching in altru'stic work are moved to make a beginning after receii'ing inspira tion from the deeds of others. Mrs. Spindler of Wirtfleld d'd not secure are now at least six clubs which are fed erated with the stare and six more whkh mhjht be. In formmg a. city federation, they merely join forces for strength in any movement that may need concerted action. One of the interesting features of the reception given by the Twentfeth Cen tury ctab on last Tuesday was the report of the state meeting hy Mrs, Sllsbee. The report was charmingly fresh and original, from the very fact of its being from the point of view of a sew dub woman. although her winning smiles and soft. gentle arguments wont a long way in that direction. She was staunchly backed by hospitable telegxam? from the W nfield college. Commercial chib and citizens gen erally. The State Federation now repre sents over 4,810 women, and means some-thins. The city'cfaibs of Wichita will confer a favor by sending ic short items and re ports about their clubs to Mrs. Toler. It might be further said that this invitation is extended to any clubs in the state, but especially those in this and adjoining districts. Mrs. 3. R. Peters, lately retired presi: dent of the State Federation, was iii Wichita Thursday, attending a meeting of the Eastern Star. Wichita gets nothingr this year, save representation on a few committees. But wait till next year! MUSIC AND DRAMA. MAT MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The management of the festival believe that the use of some of the many testi monials concerning the fine soloists who are to take part in the events see fcr May 30 and 31 and.

The soprano jsolo was sung by the queen of oratorio sopranos, Gnevra Johns tone Bishop, In excellent taste and fine style ("The Dream of Jubal"). Chicago Inter Ocean. To say that Charles W.

The "Pink Mask," a comedy sometimes known as "Mixed Pickles," was played to an enthusiastic audience at the Crawford Grand last night by the Hoyt Comedy company. The play has never been played better here. In fact it was as funny as anything that has been here for some time, whether by a repertoire or a one-night-stand company. The character of Hiram Brown was really played in an original manner. The character was car ried out in a consistent and in an irre sistible funny manner, by Mr. F. G. Hub bard. Mr. Hubbard is good enough for any show. Mr. Pete Raymond as Joe ickles maintained hi" reutation as a come dian, and he and Hubard are a great com edj team. All the other characters were well resented. This compnny has been doing a very successful week's business, and is one of the best repertoire com panies that has been here this season.

The Wasn'ngton correspondent of the Evening Post has the following: "The talk about electing General Funston govornor of Kansas or United States senator has caused some inquiry to be made Into his qualifica tions for either of those offices," remark ed veteran officer of the Spanish war to your correspondent today. "With no Im position to disparage those qualities yhich he possesses in heroic measure, his friends here who know him best agree that he would be very foolish to accept the fruits of the present fever of hero worship which has broken out in his state. He has been very well described as a dare-deyil. apparently indiiterent as 10 life and death, and preserved, as so many men of that sort are. by means almost mi raculous whenever placed In serious dan ger. But he apparently does not combine with his ability to execute the ability to plan mmore than a very httlel while ahead. As the daring poker player dif fers from the champion at chess, so Fun ston differs from the men who can lay out j. campaigns and direct tbe larger op erations of others. Students o ouru civil war will understand the statement that Funston could probably never be a Grant or a Sherman, though be will per form the most effective service as a Kearney, and might rise to the dignities of a Sheridan. "The only man who, by general con sent in military circles here, has shown in himself a combination of the ability to plan large designs and execute them in .person is General Lawton. He has not figured as a contributor to the magasines. nor has he dene very much of the sort of private letter wrttiner which finds its way into print; and as an orator he is no- where, because he loaes his head com pletely when catted upon for remarks, and, as be de:?ris it himself, becotnxj deaf and blLn-1 as well as speechless. "Another ottieer who Is winn?ig general nrtise among those who have seen most ot htm in action is Colonel John1 C. Bates, L A week ago Friday afttmooa tbe Ger who ought to be placed in the front rank of tbe heroes ofthewar. The strong point with Bates, is that, although he has never failed to respond wnen some serlouoa work had to be done, be has contifted to do It without making much noise, and without the loss of any more men than necessary- Had be gone into ngfats with more outward dash and less scientific skill, the number of killed in his com mand would probably have been large enough to entitle him to some of the emi nence wbiee seems to come from leaving heaps of stain upon tike field.

His sub ject was "The Moral Influence of Quak ers." He handled it ably. He belonged I to the "people" years ago, but has not affiliated with them for some time. This fact added force to his statements and better enabled him to be unbiased in his opinions. He tpoke on the uncompromis ing and persiseent stand the Quakers had made against social orders, war, intem perance and slavery. The students greet ed the ex-governor with cheers and mani fested a gocd interest throughout. They could not restrain from cheering when the speaker spoke of the influence the Quakers had instilled into the hearts of the western people in favor of peace.

13 w PEOPLE lltje W&itWtx IMIxj xt$lz jxtrdatf lanranr, 3Hnj 1 1S99 HOMP A e AN INDIAN LADDER. When an every-day thins appears in a novel it becomes very interesting, but when it occurs next door to home nobody paj s much attention to it. During the last week the streams in the eastern part of Oklahoma have been very high. The es capes and escapades of travelers in that part of the country, if tucked Into a story b Rudyard Kipling, would be eagerly sought at the book stores. The streams have been wildly runaway now for a week. Several narrow escapes are re corded and one traveling man, named Constant, of Arkansas City and quite well known in Wichita, lost his life in attempt ing to get across Black Bear, in Pawnee county. Dorsey Dunne, traveling for The Eagle, bnngs back hfs experience, which is quite unique and is worth re-telling. The stage set out from Perry one day this test week for Pawnee. The roads were heavy and the horses had a hard row to hoe and the passengers plenty of time to get acquaint d with one another. The personnel of 'he coach-load consisted of Dorsey Dunne and two other traveling men, a minister of the gospel, armed with a ible and a kodak, and a young woman of IS. lithe. jrctty and vivacious. The traveling men w r re taking orders, and the coach was an -'.S story to them. To the minister the -cvne was new, anl In intervals from get ting solace from the good book, he would arrange the mechanism of his kodak and mp a lone cow on asleep hill or abare-f"-ted by in a gushing gully. To the nmg woman, who was eastern, and was hound for a visit at Pawnee, the expe rience was novelly delightful, and as all the men were extraordinarily courteous and vied with one another in explanations of anything and everything along the rr uto.she was thrilled with every incident. Finally Black Bear was reached. It Is a stream confined in rather high banks, inrt it was on this occasion on a rampige, it black muddy water swirling and eddy ing angrily in the rush of its current. NVar the point of crossing i.a new bridge, twenty feet above the water, the ap proaches to which have not been as et c instructed. The old ford is still ufmI. Black Dear being reached, the driver fawled from hfe perch a$id surveyed the fTd After profound thought he came bik and notified the party lhat they orldn't get across. The traveling men mde a few remarks to themselves, w."le th.- young woman looked delightfully con cerned, although she was not concerned at U' and thrived on perplexity. "You see," explained the driver. The thing (meaning the river1) is so dod-blnmed muddy that you people added to the we ght of the coach would sink her down to the hubs and we would never ,i r,.;t The young lady looked more perplexed thnn ever, and the traveling men looked dirk and the minister looked resigned. Bjt no one said anything. "Up there is the bridge," he said, "but the blamed thing has no ends on it but lut there Js an Indian ladder there. I hadn't thought of that"" Not one in the crowd knew what an Irdian ladder was. but no one w:as going t how his ignorance. "Now- if you could all climb that Indian '"dder and get on the bridge that way, ind get down on the Indian ladder on tho "her side,, why I guess I could get the Mimed coach over." I '"Could I climb an Indian ladder?" asked the young lady. "r we I've known women to," hesi Ued the driver. "Well, we'il try," answered the young ljdv cheerfully. The approach, to the Indian ladder wais through thick underbrush, and the gai 1 tit men parted he brambles for the 5 ung lady, and finally they all reached h.p Ind'an ladder, and all recognized it. The ladder was a large, straight dead tiee. part of the limbs and knots of which hid been permitted to remain, making r ughly an imitation of the spikes by w h eh a lineman mounts a telegraph pole. Tne cHmb was fuWy twenty-five feet and tho limbs, er rounds, were by no means f lui-dtetant. In fact some of them were fu.ly two feet apart, and It meant en- derable exertion to make the climb. All the men turned to the young eastern w man. Sh answered the unasked question: "Of c urse I can." The men were then in a quandary as in how the procession should proceed. In m ninting a stairway they all knew that fquette demanded that the men go first. T ut ft would wem contemptible in th's t i-e. because someone should remain be- w to catch her if she should fall. So it w decided with that tacit and rapid -rreement which Is man's closest ap r ich to woman's intuition, that the min is .r should remain below. But another nVulty arose, and the young iady was f nt second, for the first round was four f it from the ground and two of the men h id to lift her up to it Then she mounted g'l.Wully and easily, and midway the m n ster commanded her to stop until he r .1.1 kodak her on probably the only In. m ladder she would ever eraee. This ie. she cimbed on and gained the dge, with applause. rrivinr on the other side of the stream. v found that the driver had made the r age. They climbed into the coach and r veeded.

Fred Y.'rorreH wa recently taken to Ph.Iadeipaia by his fatSier. "Doc" vTor- -!i. ta -fcft te rrandmother. TtA fs twelve years old and small for his age. Since he was the smallest tot imaginable he was trained on the claironet until he is now a soloist of great power and abil ity. One of his peculiarities is that he will not carry his Instrument in sight when on the street. He is very sensitive to this matter, and when he has to take the clarionet with him to the band or or chestra will wrap It up in an old news paper to conceal it. Shortly after Fred arrived in Philadel phia he took out his clarionet and went to playing, It happened that a neighbor next door belonged to a large orchestra in Philadelphia and he heard the music on several occasions, One daj he caught Doc "Worrell in frontgof the house and said: "Who is it t'at plays a clarionet in your house?" "My boy," said Doc. "Boy?" asked tho man. "Yep, a boy," said Doc, "I'll show him to you." He called Fred out and the man said he would like to hear him. So they entered the house and Fred played for the astonished musician. Fred can tackle anything that was ever hung on a musical-staff. The neighbor proposed that Fred go with him to pie orchestra meeting that evening for re hearsal. Fred wrapped -his clarionet up in an old newspaper, and accompanied by (his father, went to the rehearsal. The neighbor was there and had spoken to the leader about his "find," not stating the size of the new player. When all was ready the leader said: "Where's that new clarionet?" "There he is," said the neighbor, point ing out Fred. The orchestra turned to the boy and smiled. But the leader said: "Where's your in strument?" Fred pulled it out from under his chair and unwrapped it. The leader changed the music all around. He picked out a heart-breaking piece with a hard clarionet solo in it and told Fred to look it over. Fred looked iooked it over and said he guessed he could play it. So the band started in and Fred went ahead wits his knees crossed like he was plowing corn on an improved sulky, and when the solo part arrived he braced himself and played it like a hero. The baton of the leader dropped and stopped the music. He said: "That was well done, my boy." Then turning to his fa ther he asked: "Where do you live?" "Out west." "Haddington?" asked the leader, re ferring to a small town west of Philadel phia. "No, Kansas," said Doc. "West! Well, I should say so. I thougtfit you had nothing but Indians out there. That boy wants to be kept in the east, my man, mark that." Fred's fame spread after that and he played with nearly every orchestra in the city, and when the players heard he was coming back to the Indians they made up an amalgamated band and came to his grandmother's house and gave him a farewell serenade. H3S DISTILLED DRINK. There is a man in Wichita who can not drink the water of commerce here because of the alkali it contains. He buys ice which fas made from distilled water and then melts it down. When he goes to a restaurant at noon he carries a bottle of this pure water with him. He believes it is his only salvation. The ice plants have a regular patronage for their distilled wa ter. ABOUT WICHITA'S COURTS. Everybody knows that there are many courts in Wichita and that they are grinding away all the time, tout unless people get into one, and a very small per cnt do get in, they do not realize the difference between the numerous temples of justice. The court with the least jurisdiction in town is the police court. It holds forth in the city buikling, and has to do wth pass ing on misdeameriors against city ordi nances. It is supposed that the big po lice harvest for the threshing of this court comes at night. That may be true of oth er cities but it is not true of Wichita, for as many arrests are made here in the day time as at night. But say a man is arrested for being drunk and disorderly at nine o'clock at night. He is picked up by a policeman, placed In the patrol wa gon, carried to the police station, any old name is put down on the docket and he is placed in a lock-up. If a man has friends and they realize his predicament, they rush down to the city building and bail him out 'by putting up a small sum of money which is forfeited fche next morning by the non-appearance in court of the culprit. If he has no considerate friends he is taken before the court next morning about nine o'clock and aked shortly: "Guilty or not guilty?" He usually says "guilty" and te fined. He has no attorney and makes no defense. If a man is arrested for a hold-up or like crime by the police he Is put in the city lock-up over night and the next morning turned over to the sheriff on a state war rant, life preliminary then comes before the City court. The City court Is in tho basement of the county building. Here O. D. Kirk is judge and Ibnry Schad mar shal and Mr. Ebey clerk. The furniture of this conrt is poor and it is hoped only temporary. The audience is usually in terested in the case in hand and is small. Here the man accused has an attorney and the prosecuting attorney goes after him. He may have a jury of six. If he loses the cae there he can appeal to the District court, the third court of Wichita. The Listrict court room of Wichita is the finest In the state. Any case can be brought in this court, and cases can be appealed to it from the City court. At this stage of the judicial ladder dig nity begin to play r prominent part The jury consists of twelve men and is se lected slowly and carefully. The floor is finely carpeted and the oak. desks burn ished to the last" degree of brightness. Absolute sTeuce on the part of the spec tators and lawyers not engaged In the trial is demanded and usually maintained. The place for the audience is large and very rarely filled to its capacity. Unlike rh preceding courts, trial is not imme diate in the district court. The case Is filed and docketed, that is its title is re corded. It te tnen pot on a printed trial and bur docket, a little book, for trial. The court then takes up the cases in the order In which they are numbered and disposes of them. Many of the cases are never tried. Pople settle then- dispute out of court and the attorneys come in and dismiss the case. However. In crimi nal cases there te jurjr and a trial and usually an audience. In the case of a civ il suit the jury hears the evidence and brings In a verdict. It the verdict is on satisfactory and the eaae involves a sum over 4101 aad outer &M& toe piatatfcT fr defendant may fM t e "rrt cf Appeals. He gets a complete copy of all the proceedings in the case in the district court and the district judge signs these as correct. This copy is then filed in the Court of Appeals across the hall from the District court and becomes a petition in error. The man bringing the suit is the plaintiff in error, which means that he is a plaintiff daimjng error in the pro ceedings below. This is placed on a dock et in the Court of Appeals. This court holds three terms yearly and hears about fifty or sixty cases at a time. The court consists of three judges and it has con siderable more dignity than the courts below it. There are no juries and no wit nesses. The" case is called and the two laws'ers submit their case, first on printed briefs, that is little books containing their citations of authority and arguments. The attorneys can let the little books do all the talking, but usually they do not. One at a time they arise and' make long speeches to the three judges. The audi ence does not ordinarily consist of more than one or two people, although there are lots of lawyers present. The lawyers talk law pure and simple, and a layman cannot follow them very long. They sprinkle a lot of Latin in among their English, and usually the out sider feels that he is In a strange coun try and flies for out doors. When all the cases have been submitted for a term the judges of this court gather up their briefs and depart. Each man is given so many cases to write the opinions in. A judge writes up his opinions and then all three judges meet and discuss the opinions sub mitted. If one of the judges cannot agree with the other two he files a dissenting opinion. Tis court can affirm or reverse the ruling of the District court and does one or the other in every case, if it is not dismissed. In case a matter of litigation in the district court involves more than 12,000 the case is taken, on appeal, to the Supreme court at Topeka, and in certain instances a case can .fee appealed from the Court of Appeals to the Supreme court. The fifth court in Wichita is the Fed eral court, which holds in the Federal 'building. If a man violates a Federal law he is taken before the United States com missioner in the Federal building and af ter a preliminary Is either held or released by the commissioner. If held his case goes -on the Federal court docket and he is tried later (by a jury. The 'Federal court is the most dignified of all the courts in "Wichita and is conducted with great de corum. "When a case Is decided In this Federal court, It may be appealed to the Federal Court of appeals, and when decided there if it involves a constitutional question it may be appealed to the Supreme court of the United States, which is the end of it all. STRAWBERRY CRAZY. Wichita is strawberry crazy. Every body eats the red fruit this year more than ever. There is evidently an over produc tion in the south, as they have never been as cheap as they have been this spring. DR. MATTHEWS' PLAN. Dr. Matthews has a plan for stocking the Little Arkansas with bass and crop pie. The present trouble is that the fish with which the government stocks the river are not bigger than a minute and you havo to -wait six or seven years for them to grow to catchable size. Dr. Mat thews' idea is to get up n crowd of fifty Wichita men, hire one of Daisy's big sprinklers and start on an expedition to tho Walnut river, about twenty-five miles east of here. He would secure permission or purchase it from the farmers along the Walnut for the crowd to seine the river for bass and croppie. The catch would be placed in the big sprinkler and the expedition would start for Wichita, dump ing the fish in the Little River when it reached here. There is no valid objection to the plan if the permission could be se cured from the farmers. The fish law doesn't proWbit seining if the fish are to be taken from one stream and planted in another. The scheme is a good one and should be talked over. The present stock of bass in the Little Arkansas River is growing, but It will take an Interminable wait before the sport can begin as it stands now. BOOMED LIKE A CANNON. The old livery stable on Lawrence ave nue between Second and Third street is gone. It was built there during the boom with the idea that that part of the city was soon to be the business portion of the town. The man who built it put a great basement beneath the first floor. This made a perfect drum, and when a horse came in on tho floor at night the boom could be heard for a mile and made the people in the neighborhood tropic un der the collar until they got used to it SOUTH CAROLINA COWS. A new breed of dairy cattle has re cently bean brought into this section of country. The cows are known as the South Carolina stock. They are mouse colored. SID TOLER'S FAME. On its front page this last week the New York Dramatic Mirror has a full page il lustration showing Sidney Toler as him self, as De Lancey and as James Rawl ston. The engraving is very fine and the whole the most prominent thing in tlM paper. On the next page Js an expiana tory article, which1 is as follows: "The three 'gentlemen pictmed on the front page of this Issue are Sidney Toler as Sidney Toler. Sidney Toler as Count Maurce De Lancey, and Sidney Toler as James Rawteton, in Jim the Penman. By what occult menus Mr. Toler manages to pre sent -himself in three forms at once is a secret known only to the actor himself and the photographer and it is sufficient for others to know only the excellent re sult of th& mysterious proces?. Mr. Toler has been before the public in these three and a score of other characters since 19JC His first dramatic presentation was BBH Bully in The Master Man at the Ninth Street Theatre, Kansas Cty. Ke then joined th St Felix Sieters as lead ing man. and wMh that company toured through the South for nearly two seasons. Having thus been ushered into the pro fession he organized a company of bis own, and &s a star presented a targe repertoire of modern dramas, la the mid dle West, or one yasr. Early in lis Mr. Toler jofcod Corse Pay ton's company, and has been a member of that organisation ever since. He at nrt played character parts. the wide range f standard dra-ams- produced by Mr. Peyton, and ws this season advanced to .Wds. In these role? he is nw appear: ic with the Pay ton Stck company at a Newark N. J Theatre. "Like many ambitious vanne ?vr. Mr. To!er ha a leaning towa-J :h r'm7i tc school of atx .and as u'rrp with a voke ct t:X"e!".er.t rxw-r a-- t i t ard has m rcver i ;iC". I r c qje and b&ar:cg. h-s wark jr. chat e has been very successful. And in another line, too that of play writing has Mr. Toler been forging his way to the front He has spent every moment unclaimed by rehearsals and per formances in developing h:s talent for the construction of plays. Every day becom ing more familiar with the requirements of the stage, and learning, as we'.l, the tastes of the public, he has written a number of dramas that give promise of success. His play, 'Two Friends,' was produced last season on the road by the Corse Payton company, and he has now almost completed arrangements for the production and sale of a society comedy entitled' 'Au American Millionaire. His scenic melodrama, 'Secret Sin," v-lll be put on the boards next season, and a com edy, just compleied, called 'Mr. Plgg of Chicago,' will also be presented in the autumn." THE STOICAL INDIAN. Ed. Dorsey. now living at Blackwell. Oklahoma, sends the following: Much has been writterAf the character istics of the Indian, buSnany phases cf the disposition of this people are yet im perfectly understood. His liking for fun is illustrated by the incident following: Previous to the opening of the Cherokee outlet for settlement a prospector camp ed for the night near the Ponca agency. His team, consisting of a bay and a spotted, or in the nomenclature of the country, a "calico" pony, strayed during the night, and the next morning tne -traveler, in great anxiety, made his way to the agency and secured a horse on which to make a search for the missing stock. In relating his loss to the agent a minute description of the ponies was given, and the crowd of Indians stand ing around, apparently oblivious to every thing said, learned perfectly the appear ance of the strayed animals. During the day one of the Indians went to the Tonic awa tribe, located some fifteen miles to the west, and here also in the evening came the traveler In tearch of his ponies. Noting his approach the Ponca explained hurriedly to the Tonkawas the white man's mission ,and arranged that he 'should conduct the interview. Having no idea that he had ever seen any of the Indians, and supposing them ignorant cf English, the traveler by signs indicated his loss. Ponca apparently comprehends, and draws on his vocabulary for the in quiry: "Little calico, little bay?" The traveler delighted answers "Yes," and the Indian makes with his finger the outline of a brand on the rider's horse, and with a look of interrogation asks its correct ness. Receiving an affirmative gesture, another brand is located by the Indian, until every brand and mark of the ponies is located with exactness. The traveler &ure by this time that his ponies are found, has alighted from his horse, and inquires, with a sweep of the hand, "Where, where?" Then another draft on the Indians English. "Me no see them." Believing that he is not comprehended, the traveler by signs requests the Indian to show him the way to the ponies, but still elicits the response, "Me no see them." Convinced that the Indian knows the whereabouts cf the ponies, the travel er tries every means of whlch he can think to get the Information, but every effort, whatever its nature, gets the ans wer, "Me no see them." Finally, work ed up to a pitch of intense indignation, the traveler remounts and starts for the agency of the Tonkawiis, calling down malediction on all Indians, and the young Ponca. in particular. As soon as he is well out of hearing the crowd, who had retained the most immovable composure, broke into the wildest hilarity. The en tire colloquy was repeated word for word. The gradations of the traveler's delight, surprise, entreaty, exposulation, indig nation and wrath were recounted with roars of laughter and the most perfect mimicry. Every one of the Indians un derstood English perfectly. The story is told by the white participant, who sub sequently heard the denouement and found his ponies. in Kansas. WICHITA TEN YEARS AGO.

The local management of the Dold Packing company have one special fad which they push in all the ramifying branches of their trade, and that is "Wichita," first. last and all the time. Every piece of meat of tho various cuts where It Is possible; all boxes and crates, their stationery, circulars and cata logue, all bear the symbol In attractive design, "Made In Wichita." On the Im perial brand of hams this is burned into the meat, and rubber stamps find 6tencll lettering announces the fact also on other products. They carry this idea out of advertising the city wherever their sta ple products goes, and it is having its effect, as admitted by other large abat toirs. They also practice what they preach by patronizing In every manner possible home Industriee. All the ma terial which can be procured here and all the labor, expert and ordinary, repairs, horses, and in fact everything where the conditions are equal are represented right here in this city. "But one of the notable features of this public spirit on the part of tho management of the large local industry of the city is the signifi cant letter head on the ,new stationery. Across the top of the neat page in red ink appears the list of five plants of the corporation, namely, Buffalo, N. Y.; Kan sas City, Mo.; Harrisburg, Pa,; Wichita, Kan., and Oklahoma City, O. T. On the left is the standard registered trade mark of the Wichita house, "Diamond D," with tho American eagle with outstretched pinions, balancing, in the frame of th& "D." "It it's Dold's, It's the best" Then over the date lino appears the certalnly suggestive words, "Wichita, U. S. A." This means that there is but one Wichita anywhere within the boundless expansion of the universe and Its only geographical point necessary to locate Is simply in united States of America. The firm evidently supposed It was entirely superfluous to say that the Peerless Prln cetd of the Plains, and Magical Wonder of the Meridian, the city which for many years was the center of population of tho Republic of Columbia, was situated in the state of Kansas. They were eminent ly correct in their Idea that It wad suf ficient simply to say on their neat and attractive letter head, "Wichita, U. S. A." THEY W.VNTED HIM. Among the musk: tans of Wichita k. is generally acknowledged that young Ralph Durdwr, who played the' "cello, had a much talent as anyone who ever lived In tho city. Fred wats very young, but he had complete mastery over bis instru ment. One night an orche&tre came to Wichita whb an opera company and their 'cellotet was sick. Fred took his place. He had to accompany the leading soprano alone. He did it, and when the curtain went down on that act the manager came down from the stage and offered Ralph $25 a week to accompany them. Ralph was crazy to go but his parents wouldn't per mit It because of his youth. GETTING RID OF HIM. Every man ki town has a different method of handling book agents. For montiis Paul Brown has succeeded la side tracking them. His method was to blunt ly ask the agent: "What books do you have?" "That famous work, Dumas' master piece, the "Pieaae givt the names.' demanded PauL "Well, I have Dumas" celebrated Crimes of History, and Warner Library and Grote's Greece." "Ah," said Paul. "I would like those Celebrated Crimes: and Warner's Library. that is just what I want: and I mast have, yes, I must have Grote's Grseee. The agent wavered. 1 can't tell which I shall taka," mid Brown. Tbe ?ent starts to talk. "I am very busy." says Brown. "111 have to make a choice. Give m your bo lei address and 11 writ you not and tell you wfeicb work I think the most of. Good day. I can't posstbly listen now. Good day." BCNCODBG A W5CHTTAN.
