WOMAN AND DEPUTIES MRS. A LI.IE GAY ITT ATTEMPTED TO RUN* COURT AT At 111 UN. Wealthy Anting; Widow Whose Mind Became Affected on Account of Misforttines—Stute News. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WATERLOO, Ind., Jan. s.—Mrs. Allle Gavitt, the wealthy young widow of Win. F. Gavitt, who has been having trouble with the courts for some time on account of a settlement of her late husband's estate, went to Auburn yesterday and attempted to administer justice in accordance with her ideas. When Judge Hartman left the bench for a few momenta Mrs. Gavitt rushed to his chair and coolly took possession and appeared to be ready lor business. Two deputy sheriffs had the tight of their lives in attempting to remove her, and before they could convey her to the jail for safety their clothes were almost in ribbons. It was known for several years that Mrs. Gavitt’s mind was not right, but because of her prominent family no steps had been taken until recently to look after her. She attempted to commit suicide shortly before her husband's death two years ago, and after he was stricken blind and then died, her troubles more seriously affected her brain. She is the daughter of David Goodwin, a wealthy citizen of this place, and her husband, who came here from Fremont, 0., was interested in the Butler Manufacturing Company and the Waterloo foundry and machine works. After her husband's death Mrs. Gavitt made threats against the courts and declared she would blow up the buildings at Auburn and move the county seat to this city. Her actions at the cemetery frequently caused sensations. Twice she uncovered the grave of a baby, claiming it was her child, and at other times chased people from the cemetery. Recently she appeared In open court and threatened the life of the judge. A secret investigation was held by physicians and it was decided that Mrs. Gavitt should be restrained, but owing to the crowded condition of Dong Cliff Hospital at Logansport nothing had been done. AGAINST GLASS WORKERS. Hoard of Arbitration Decides the Look Dispute of L. A. 200. PITTSBURG, i’a., Jan. 5.—A decision was handed down to-night by the three arbitrators in the dispute between the window glass manufacturers and L. A. 200, the workers’ association, as to whether or not a verbal agreement existed between the two sides which granted to the cutters and llatteners an advance in wages in relative proportion to that given the blowers and gatherers. The decision says no such agreement existed. The finding ot the committee seems to be a victory for the manufacturers, but, while it says the workmen have no legal claim to the advance, it Is suggested to the manufacturers that they give to the workmen voluntarily one-halt the advance which they have claimed. Rev. Hicks Gets n Better “full.” Special to the Indianaiiolls Journal. KBUFFfTON, Ind., Jan. s.—Rev. W. W. Hicks, of this city, who was recently tendered a call to the pulpit of the First Baptist Church at Crawfordsville, has declined the tender. This morning he received a telegram from Flint, Mich., notifying him that he had been unanimously selected by the Baptist congregation of that city to take charge of their church, and he has accepted the latter cull. Flint has one of the finest church buildings in Michigan and a strong congregation of more than live hundred members. It is located about sixty miles north of Detroit and is a manufacturing city of a population of 15,000. The call that Rev. Hicks has received is a most flattering one because of the prominence of the congregation in the Baptist circles of Michigan.

Legislature Must Fix Rate*. Special to the Indianaiiolls Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Jan. s.—ln the suit to test the reasonableness of gas rates charged by the Richmond Natural Gas Company, Judge Rabb, of Williamsport, returned here to-day and decided that the Legislature, and not the court, possesses the power to establish rates and regulations for publicservice corporations; that it is not within the power of the court to fix rates in advance, or prescribe other regulations for such corporations. The court intimates that he could rule as to reasonableness of rates and issue a mandate to compel the furnishing of gas, but this proposition is not involved. A motion by A. C.

VOLUNTEERS CRITICISED. Spendthrift*, Captain Hardin Say*, Should Not Be Fed at Public Expense. ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. s.—Captain Hardin, United States army, who was formerly colonel in command of the Second New York Volunteers, was sent here to muster out the First Regiment, lately returned from Honolulu. As soon as he came lie was asked to reimburse the citizens’ committee for money expended in the caro of some of the men. He refused and read a lecture about the volunteers that has created a sensation. He said; "These men were granted a sixty days’ leave of absence a few days after their arrival in this city and could have gone anywhere they desired. If they did not have any money with which to leave the city or pay for their board it was no one’s fault but their own. Every soldier who enlisted for the war received his salary, and if he preferred to spend it and arrive at his home without a dollar in his pocket it was his own lookout, and he should not be fed at the expense of the citizens' committee or any one else. As soon as the men were given a furlough the government was no longer responsible for them until the expiration of the leave of absence. And even if the quartermaster had remained in the city he would have no authority to provide for the men unless they gave up their furlough and returned to the post and went to work. "These men are all able-bodied. Why did not they go to work during their furlough? The government dots not care what they do. A large number of these men received In salary and equivalent, money equal to that which they would have earned if they had remained at home, and if they did not save enough to take them to their hon\es (and 1 understand the largest part of them live within a short distance of Albany), it is a mistaken conception of the word charity to do anything for them and the citizens’ committee has no right to ask or reason to expect that the government will reimburse them for taking care of the soldiers. “The men who belong in San Francisco, about eighteen in number, were given the choice of being discharged in San Francisco or taken on to Albany, and they unanimously decided on the latter. They lind, now that they are here, that they cannot get work and expect someone is going to feed them or send them back home. When they are mustered out they will receive transportation, which amounts to about a day’s pay for every twenty miles, and will therefore be able to get home and have money in their pockets when they get there.” FUND FOR THE WARINGS. Widow anil Daughter to Get the Interest on SIOO,OOO. NEW YORK. Jan. s.—The SIOO,OOO fund for the widow and daughter of the late Col. G. E. Waring has been completed.

Didn't Rend Mind*. Boston Transcript. Last Saturday afternoon a portly woman of perhaps forty-five got on a car in o.e of the suburbs and paid her fare. After riding about a block the conductor called out "Sycamore street." Up went the woman's head in indignant. query. "Syc-a-more street, did you say?” she almost screamed. “Yes, madam; do you want to stop here?” "Os course, I do. and 1 want my fare back, too; you could have told me it was so near!" "I can't return you the money, lady: you didn't say you wanted Sycamore street.” "Well, you should have known it. ther.” Mind-reading is only a reasonable thing to ask of Boston candidates for the conductor’s berth in these days of mental science.

FRANCHISE FOR WOMEN * GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT ADVOCATES EXTENSION OF SUFFRAGE. An Explanation of What He Meant In Hi* Message—Governor I’ingree on Taxation. ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. s.—Albany is a renter of suffrage agitation. The female advocates and opponents of woman suffrage are wrought up over Governor Roosevelt’s message, in which he advocates gradual extension of the suffrage to women. There was great perplexity among tho ladies interested as to what the Governor really meant. To an Associated Press representative Governor Roosevelt to-night said that what he meant in that message was a gradual extension of suffrage to woman. How far to extend it he is not certain. He believes that the condition of a large number of women should be bettered. He thinks that an amelioration could he brought about by social Influences and development of the mind. Ho is not sure that legislation can accomplish much, but if It can do a little he is willing to try it. Woman suffrage has worked well in the school district in which Oyster Bay is situated, and the Governor thinks it might work well elsewhere. A gradual extension would not work any radical change, but, on the contrary, would prove step by step the value of an accordance of this privilege to women. ♦- PINGREE S HOBBIES. Michigan’* Governor Opposed to Expansion nod Still Warring on Trust*. LANSING, Mich., Jan. s.—Governor Pingree to-day read his message to a joint session of the Legislature, ft Is a voluminous document of about 25,000 words, and deals with all the Governor’s proposed taxation reforms, declares against expansion and inveighs at great length against trusts and corporations. He argues that railroad and other corporations should be brought under the general tax law instead of being assessed on tHeir gross earnings, as at present. Governor Pingree recommends the repealing of the special charters of the Michigan Central and Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railroads so as to bring them under the general tax laws. The attempt at the special session last spring to pass tho Atkinson bill, which lias equal taxation for its object, is referred to, and the Governor severely criticises some federal officeholders for alleged lobbying against it. The Governor recommends a moderate income tax upon all incomes above SI,OOO a year. The progress made by trusts in recent years has alarmed the Governor. He advocates that Congress should take this matter in hand, as State legislatures, he says, are powerless, because corporations would simply be driven from one State to another by any attempt at legislation on the part of the States. Governor Pingree finds fault with the present national administration, saying that tho war “was precipitated by the clamor of an unscrupulous press, with the co-opera-tion of equally unscrupulous politicians, who hoped that the excitement and hysteria of war would distract the popular mind from the abuses of their misgovernment and from the grievances which our people suffered and still suffer, greater than those which any of Spain’s subjects had to complain of.” Decided opposition is expressed to annexation of the Philippines, the Governor claiming that they are in no way necessary for our safety, or even useful, as are the Hawaiian islands or the Antilles. He says; "The scheme of annexation is simply a weak imitation of the policy of European monarchies, conceived in apparent ignorance or indifference respecting the vastly different conditions which have forced those powers into distant colonization.” Relative to public ownership of railways, Governor Pingree says: "T most earnestly recommend that the Legislature inaugurate a policy looking to (he ultimate purchase by the State of all the railroads within its limits.” The Governor recommends "that a law be passed providing that all candidates far each elective office from Governor down to ward officers he nominated by direct vote of the electors.” Telegraph Rate* Cat by Popnli*t*. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. s.—Both branches of the Legislature have passed the bill reducing telegraph rates. The bill will now go to the Governor for his signature. The bill reduces dispatches for day commercial messages of ten words from 25 to 15 rents and other tolls in proportion. Day press rates are reduced from one-half to one-third cent per word and night press rates from one-quarter to one-sixth cent per word. These rates apply to all points within the State. The measure also places telegraph companies within tho jurisdiction of the Court of Visitation recently created to regulate railroad traffic.

(Concluded from First Page.) movement during~the present century, this surrender to be made before the Filipinos release the SpAnish prisoners, and Spain to grant amnesty to all Filipinos and Spaniards accused of complicity in the insurrection. Third—Spain to defray all the expenses of repatriating the Filipino prisoners, and also the cost of maintaining and repatriating the Spanish prisoners held by the Filipinos, such payment being considered a war indemnity; the national Filipino government consents to pay the expense of repatriating those Filipinos captured in formal action, although, it is added, “as a matter of fact, the Filipinos are also entitled to demand the payment thereof by Spain." Friars taken prisoners, it is further asserted. will not be Included in the exchange, “seeing they acted as papal agents during the war, but their surrender would be made on the condition, firstly, that the apostolic delegate will ask thfir liberty in the name of the Pope; secondly, that all bulls and pontifical decrees granting special privileges to the religious orders be revoked; thirdly, that all rites of the secular clergy be respected: fourthly, that no friar hold any parish, cathedral, episcopal or diocesan preferment; fifthly, that all such preferments be held by native or naturalized Filipino clergy, and, sixthly, that rules for the election of bishops be fixed.” Xo Word from Otis. WASHINGTON, Jan. s.—lt was said at the War Department to-day that no word of any sort had been received from General Otis since the last published advices. The Paris dispatch on Agulnaldo’s movements was read without comment, and those in authorin' refused to say whether any credence was placed in it or whether any fresh advices had been sent to General Otis. Traimport Chartered. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. The War Department has chartered the Morgan City, new loading freight at San Francisco for the Philippines. It had been intended simply to ship a certain amount of government freight aboard her for Manila, but it was found cheaper to charter her. This will allow the department to ship a part of the Twentieth Infantry aboard her if the regiment has not room enough on the Soandia. White Men Stronger. Washington Post. Some people who are otherwise well-in-formed think that the negro is rather the superior physically of the white man, though there was never a more erroneous opinion,” said Prof. M. M. Lassiter, the well-known Chicago scientist, “Making allowances for the better environment of the white man, hia better food, clothing, habi-

tation and the like, he will surpass the black man from a purely physical standpoint. A white baby’s chances of living under precisely the same conditions are preferable to a black one’s, for the dark-skinned iffctunt will yield more readily to disease. Tins fact alone should keep people front worrying abqut negro domination. The negroes are not going to fade away like the Indian, for they are a prolific race, but the ratio of their increase doesn’t keep pace with that of the Anglo-Saxon. Ten years ago they numbered 13.12 per cent, of the total population, but now they are only 11.93 per cent., and. though these figures are not absolutely accurate, yet there is but little doubt that they are approximately’ the facts." TWELVE SAILORS DROWNED. One Steamer Sunk and Another Abandoned After a Collision. FALMOUTH, England, Jan. 3.—A pilot cutter has landed here the captain and thirteen of the crew of the British steamer P.osshire, from Cardiff, for St. Nazaire, and the captain and thirteen of the crew of the French steamer Duguesclin, from Rouen, for Swansea.

RACE ISSUE IN CUBA. Qiiintin Bnntleru'* Complaint 40 Major General Wood, Correspondence of the Associated Press. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 27.—Quintin Bandera, the colored major of insurgents, against whom charges have been made by ■white Cubans, called at the palace to-day to see General Wood. After denying the allegations against him, Bandera said that SO per cent, of the Cubans in this part of the island are negroes, and that the white Cubans are fearful lest they should get control of the affairs of the province. Bandera told General Wood that he was perfectly satisfied for the white 20 per cent, to represent the Cubans of the province, and did not object to their getting the majority of the loaves and fishes, but he did think that the 1 negro element should be considered in the matter of appointments. General Wood informed Bandera that he recognized the fact that the faction he represented was largely in the majority and that in the appointments he was to make they would certainly be remembered and given what they’ were competent to do, but owing to the fact that the better appointments required men of education, and the negro element here being mostly illiterate, tiie majority of the higher appointments had gone to educated Cubans. Major Brooks, of the Second West Indian Regiment, has arrived with a mission from the British government to study the initiatory’ movements of the troops in this island. Incidentally Major Brooks, who is one of the leading members of the Garrison Polo Club, of Kingston, and who is also interested in the Kingston and Island polo clubs, called on General Wood to see if some arrangements could not be made whereby the polo players of Jamaica and the polo players here may be brought together.

FAT-SALARIED RULERS . M*K IX LEY'S PAY WOULD XOT BE FIN MONEY FOR SOME OF THEM. * Queen Yietoria In Paid a Total of $ 1,000,000 \ nil ually— Princely Pay of Little Ktr.gs.

Philadelphia Times. The President of the United States receives a salary of $50,000 per year. At first blush this seems so tremendous as to take our breath away. It appears to be far and away ahead of the earning capacity of any individual, no matter how great his ability, and no matter what the energy or hard work involved. But second sober thought must convince us that the salary of the President of this Republic, who rules over 70,000.0 0 of people at the present time, and who is likely to be the ruler of a much greater number of citizens in the near future, if measured by mental strain and responsibility and the amount and character of the labor involved, is but a mere pittance. This view of the matter was undoubtedly in the minds of the members of Congress a number of years ago when they successfully advocated legislation by which the President’s salary was increased from $25,000 to $50,000 per annum. In this country there is absolutely no limit to the earning capacity of men of genius and energy. There are several railroad presidents at the present day who make us much, if not more, every year in their existence, than the President of the United States. There are at least a half dozen lawyers In each of the great cities of the United States whose income is double that of the President of the United States, and there are numerous instances of men in the learned professions, physicians, lawyers and others, whose salaries and fees exceed. SIOO,OOO per annum. But I am diverting slightly from my subject. What 1 started out to say was that the salary of the President of the United States, as compared with the incomes of the rulers of the old world, is ridiculously small, and this applies equally as well to the republic as to the monarchies on the other side of the Atlantic. Indeed, the Presidents of some of the opera bouffe governments or republics of South America have stated incomes almost as great as that of the United States. But it is particularly when wo look abroad that we discover the startling differences that are made by what might be termed ’’odious’’ comparisons. To begin with, take ner royal Majesty, Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India. According to the official budgets of England the Queen is annually voted $4,000,000 each year. The civil list of the Queen consists of a fixed parliamentary grant, and it must be said, to the credit of the reigning house, that it amounts to much less than the incomes of previous sovereigns. Under George I this sum was about $5,000,000. HER MAJESTY’S EXTRAS. In 1777, when the pigheadedness of King George led him into the historical controversy with our own George and cost him the loss of all the American colonics, the parliamentary grant was reduced to $1,000,000. Victoria at the present time has paid to her for the bench l of the royal household, I*) annual allowance of $1,925,000, of which the lords of the treasury are directed to pay yearly $300,000 into her Majesty’s privy purse, to set aside $1,255,000 for the salaries of the royal houshold, $240,000 for retiring allowances and pensions to servants, and $95,000 for the royal bounty, alms and special services. There is an unappropriated surplus of $180,003, which goes for miscellaneous purposes, probably for sealskin saeques,, spring Donnets and other feminine extravagances. The Queen also has paid to her the revenues of the duchy of Lancaster, which in 1896 amounted to over $410,000. The Parliament includes in each of the annual estimates the ‘‘consolidated fund.” In this are the following sums to members of the royal family: $50,000 to the Duke of Edinburgh, reduced from $125,000 on the accession of the duke to the dukedom of Saxe* Coburg Gotha in 1893: $125,000 to the Duke of Connaught; $40,000 to the Empress Victoria of Germany: $30,000 to the Princess of Schleswig-Holstein; $30,000 to Princess Louise, marchioness of Lorne; $30,000 to the Princess Beairice of Battenburg; $13,000 to the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz; $25,000 to the Princess of Teek, formerly Princess Mary of Cambridge; $60,000 to George, Duke of Cambridge; $30,000 to Princess Helena of Waldeck, Duchess of Albany. The Prince of Wales receives an annual grant of $200,000, and by an act of Parliament, passed in 1889, he receives $185,000 in addition for the support and maintenance of liis children. In addition to this the prince has revenues from the Duchy of Cornwall, which in I v 9t! was valued at over $90,000 per annum. The Princess of Wales has set on her the annual sum of $50,000, to be increased to SISO,O<X) in case of widowhood. Altogether $10,000,000 in our money would be an inadequate estimate of what it costs the people of England to enjoy the luxury of royalty. Imagine for a moment the Congress of the United States voting these vast sums of money to the brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and first, second and third cousins of President McKinley and the absurdity of the whole thing, from an American standpoint, of course, would be apparent. Leaving England and going on to the continent the results are quite as interesting. The Emperor Franz Joseph, King of Austria-Hungary, has a civil list of about $4,650,000. One moiety of this sum is paid to him as Emperor of Austria out of the revenues of German Austria and the other moiety as King of Hungary out of the revenues of Hungary. I TI, the reigning King of Belgium, has a civil list of about $760,000. This is quite modest in comparison to the sums paid to other European monarchs. and the wonder is how Leopold II manages to get along so economically Christian IX of Denmark has a civil list of $277,755 set on him by the vote of the Rigsdag. Even for such ,t small state as Denmark this seems quite modest. The heir apparent to the crown receives a sum that is equivalent to $30,000 a year in our money. If both these sums are put together they seem moderate enough to make inapplicable the remark of Marcellus to Hamlet that there was something “rotten in the state of Denmark.” RANKS WITH M'KINLEY. King George I of Greece by a decision of the national assembly has $40,000 set on him. In addition to this the governments of Great Britain. France and Russsia have each added $4,0(0, making the total Income of King George $52,000 of American money. Tills comes nearer to President McKinley’s salary than anything on the other side of the water. King Humbert of Italy has annually voted to hint about $1,600,000, and out of which the Prince of Naples has an allowance of SIOO,OOO per annum. The President of the Mexican republic receives SBO,OOO per annum, while the Mikado of Japan receives $1,500,000 per annum. The President of the French republic receives $120,000 per annum. In addition to this he is given $12,000 each year for necessary household expenses. Wilhelm II of Germany, the war lord, has “money to burn.” Until it short time ago the kings of Prussia enjoyed the whole income of the state domain, amounting to about a million sterling per annum. This has been materially changed at the present time. The total "kronodatrons rente,” as it is called, as far as known, amounts to between three and four millions of our money. The reigning house is also In possession of a vast amount of private property, comprising castles, forests and great landed estates. AII this is used to pay the expenses of the court and the royal family, not to speak of private yachts, special railroad trains and magnificent escorts used by the erratic sovereign in his wanderings on land and water. Mulat-Abd-el-Aziz, Sultan of Morocco, does not have to s:op to think where he will get the money for his next meal. His revenue is estimated at $2,500,000 per annum, and is derived from monopolies, taxes, tithes and presents from his loyal subjects. He practically has the wealth of his small state at his imperial pleasure and disposal. WUhelmina Helena Pauline Marie, the youthful Queen of the Netherlands receives about $300,000 per annum. In addition to this she has $25,600 annually for the maintenance of royal palaces situated in different portions of her country, which revenues are derived from the royal domain. The Queen Regent, who, until a few months ago. was the real ruler of the Netherlands, received and still receives $70,000 per annum. Muzaffar-ed-din, Shah of Persia. In the language of all the royal decrees. Is “master of the lives and goods of his subjects. The whole of the revenues, without question have been at the service of the Shahs, and most of them. It Is only fair to say, have taker, advantage of their opportunities and

His private fortune is estimated at $30,000,000, most of i.. represented by brilliant and costly stones. The largest of these is called the. Derya-i-Nur and is of 18ft karats, and the next to this is the Tuj-i-Mah, of lift karats. The crown jewels are so valuable as to make figures entirely unintelligible in discussing them. History does not state whether pawn shops flourish in Persia or not. Corlos I of Portugal has an Income of St>uO,OMJ per annum, and his royal consort, the Queen, receives each year SIOO,OOO. Since the conquest of Portugal by the Moors the monatchs of that country receive altogether about $1,000,000 per annum. Nicholas 11, Emperor of all the Russias, has no limit whatever to his Income. He is in possession of the revenue from the crown domains, w hich include millions and millions of square mill sos cultivated land and forests, besides countless gold mines in Siberia. The actual value of these mines has never been known. The crown domains are considered the private property of the imperial family. I’hulaiong I of Siam has an estimated revenue of $2,030,000 a year. Part of this is the tax on fiuit tires, opium and eatable birds’ nests. When we consider the immense cost of maintaining the sacred white elephant, with its large retinue of priests and musicians. this does not seem to be an extravagant revenue for the Siamese monarch. Alfonso XIII, the hoy king of Spain, who has figured so conspicuously in the history of the world during tin past six months, receives annually a sum equivalent to sl,123,000 In our money. This in. men sc sum, of course, is awarded in lump form for the benefit of the royal family; $280,000 goes for the exclusive use of the child monarch, and no doubt keeps him in an abundant allowance of painted candy, rocking horses and spending money. The Queen Regent, wdio has had charge of the expenditure of all this money until tht king becomes of age, receives herself a grant of $50,000 per annum. The relatives of the late King of Spain, the husband of the present Queen Regent, receive pensions amounting to s2.t*H.uCo per year. Abdul Hamid 11. Sultan of Turkey, receives a grant variously reported to be from $5,000,000 to M 0,000.000 per annum. These facts and figures regarding the rulers and their Incomes furnish a very Interesting study. The figures are as accurate as it la possible to give after estimating the value of foreign moneys as compared with our own, but even in the rough they present comparisons that must be regarded not only with interest but with pleasure by the people of the United States.
