tues. for the lack cf which ro Intellectual brilliancy, no material prosperity, can ever atone. It Is a good thins: for a nation to be rich, but It Is a better thins for a nation to be the mother of men who pos.? fs the qualities of honesty, of courage ami of common i"ne. We have "many frreat problems ahead of us. we Americans, as we stride a!onsr the road of national greatness probl"mi: of horn administration and problems that- affect our dealings with the outside world. We cannot solve them If we approach them lr a spirit of levity or vainglorious boast fulness; still less if we approach them In a spirit of timidity; and leaot of all if In dealing with them we do not Insist upon honesty end righteousness upon that righteousness of character which is the keyton In the arch of true national greatness. The problems that rise from year to year differ widely and must be met In widely different ways; but not one of thencan be properly solved unless we approach It with ?. resolute fearlessness and with i sincere purpose to do Justice to all men, exacting it from others, and exacting it no le.- from ourselves. "I am proud of the way In which you have taken up the broken threads of your lives la -whicri 'you have gone back to the farm, the ranch, the mine, the factory and the counting room. In so doing you show yourselves to be typical American citizens,- for i: has always been the pride of our country that an American while most earnestly destroys of peace was ever ready to show Mnvelf a hard and dangerous fighter If need should arise, and that on the other hand, when once the need had passed, he could prove that war had not hurt him for tha work of peace, and that he was all the fitter to do this work for having done the other, too. We may be called to war but once in a generation (and I most earnestly hope that we shall not have to face war again for many years), but the duties of pear are always with us, and these we mint perform ail our lives Ion?:, from year's end to year's end. if we are to prove oureelves In very fact koo1 citizens of the commonwealth. We mast work hard for the take of those dependent upon us; we must eee that our children are brought up in the way that will make them worthy of th. great Inheritance which we. their fathers, have ourselves received from those that went before us. We must do our duty by the state. We mast frown upon dishonesty and corruption, and war for honesty and righteousness. NO COWARDS AMONG TIIEAI. "I am proud of you, my comrades, not only because you were very brave in battle, tut because when once the battle was over you showed yourselves merciful to the weak. A coward In your ranks would have received short shrift indeed, but when once the battle was won I never knew one of you to perform an act of cruelty. I shall ever keep In mind the valor you showed as you fought in the Jungles of Las Guasimas, as you charged up the slopes of San Juan hill; and I shall keep In mind no less the way In which you shared your scanty rations with the miserable refugees at K Caney, the way in which you tried to help the women and children upon whom war had laid its heavy hand. In our regiment the man who flinched from an armed foe and the man who wronged a woman or a child would have met with equally quick and grim Justice. "Let me suy a word of those to whom our thoughts' should turn at such a time, both among the living and among the dead. To our absent living comrades, and especially to our former commander, now MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, whose administration of the province of Santiago has reflected such high credit not merely upon himself but upon the Nation so fortunate as to have him in her service, we send the heartiest and most loyal greetings. With these men we hope? in the not distant future to strike hands again, and an long as we live and they live we shall all be bound together by the most Indissoluble of ties. But when we come to speak of our dead comrades, of the men who gave their live in the fierce ruh of the Jungle fighting, or who wasted to death in the fever camps, wo can only stand with bared heads and pray that we may so live as at the end to die as worthily as .these our brothers died. Allen Capron, in the sunny prime of youth, in his courage, his strength and his beauty; Bucky' O'Neill, than whom In all the army there breathed no more dauntless soul of these and our other gallant comrades, the men who carried the rifles, in the ranks, all we can say is that they proved their worth by their endeavor; that in the hour of the Nation's need they rose level to the need and quietly and cheerfully gave to their country the utmost that any man can give their lives. We read in Holy Writ 'that greater love hath no man than thb, to lay down his life for his friend. And these men so loved their country thafthey gallantly gave their lives for her honor and renown and for the uplifting of the human race. Now their work is over, their eyes are closed forever, their bodies molder in the dust, but the ppirlt that was In them cannot die and it shall live for time everlasting. JUE PHILIPPINES. "So much for our comrades of the-regl-nrent. , Let us not forget our comrades wfio

this summer are facing all that we faced last summer. Let us not forget the gallant men, the regulars and volunteers, who are upholding the honor of the flag and the interests of the Nation In the Philippines. Surely there Is not one of us whose veins have not tingled with pride as he read of the gallantry of those men, and I suppose few of us have not thought at times that we should like ourselves to fight beside Law ton now as we fought beside him last July, and to see If the Hough Riders could not do their share of the work now done by the splendid men who follow Punston, liale and the other daring leaders who, during the past six months, have added so many new pages to the honor roll of American history. To our shame be it said there ,rfr men in this Nation so indifferent to the country's honor, so lukewarm In patriotism and courage that they would let all the work of those men go for naught let their blood be spilled In vain. But the hearts of our Nation is sound, and the puny folk who deem it otherwise are woefully mistaken In their countrymen. Where our flag has been raised it shall not be hauled down. If any difficulty seems greater than we expected It merely means that we shall exert a little more strength in overcoming it. I read with pride the other day how both senators from California, though of opposite political parties. Joined In assuring the President that California would stand like a rock behind him in seeing that there was no step back In the Philippines, and I can assure him of the like spirit in the great State of which I have the fconor to be Governor. We stand ready to give him whatever he needs in men or money to put down the armed savagery to which we are opposed in the Philippines. He shall have all he wishes to put it down quickly and. whether It is put down quickly or not, he shall have our support in ever increasing measure until the last spark of resistance has been stamped out. We want no Seace talk with men who bear arms In their ands. When they once submit they shall be treated with absolute Justice and equity and their rights most carefully guarded, but until they submit they must be taught with rough hand what it is to make war upon the American flag. There is no East and no West when we come to deal with Questions of this kind. The United States Is to be the great power of the Pacific, and we men of the Atlantic coast are good Westerners and are as resolutely bent upon upbuilding our power in the Pacific as the men on the Pacific slope. themselves.

Finally Rudolph promised to give up the bareness and the lovers met at Rudolph's shooting box, Mayerllng, for a last farewell. The company at dinner included Prince Philip of Coburg and Count Hoyos. The wine passed freely and the evening was spent in singing and laughter, though it was remarked the gayety of Prince Rudolph and Baroness Vetsera seemed forced. Toward 1 o'clock in the morning the baroness complained of being ill and retired to her bedroom. At 2. after having taken almost a decanter of brandy, Rudolph bade his friends good night and entered the baroness's bedroom. The next morning Rudolph's confidant, Rratfisch, knocked at the door and there was no response. He then entered, staggered back and fainted at the ghastly sight. Lying on the sofa, completely covered with wild flowers, was Vetsera. Alongside her lay her lover, Rudolph, clutching a heavy cavalry pistol, the back of his head shot off. A doctor was summoned and his evidence refutes the statement that the lovers died together. He certified the baroness died at 1 o'clock from strychnine poisoning, and that Rudolph died at 2 o'clock from a pistol shot. The baroness left four letters, addressed to Emperor Francis Joseph, her mother, her cousin Baltazzl and to Prince Rudolph. The latter was the direct cause of the Crown Prince's suicide. Grief-stricken at the sight of the dead woman, he found at her bedside a penciled note, wet with tears, as follows: " 'My Only Beloved RudolphI die because I cannot live without you. You promised to make me your wife, but you have broken your word. I forgive you. If you love me, come, follow me.' 'The note is now In the possession of Emperor Francis Joseph. Baroness Vetsera's body was not removed to Venice, as asserted. It was buried in a little monastery near Mayerllng, with nothing to mark the grave." The Evil of Bemnsr. LONDON, June 24. The Duke of Westminster is quoted as saying, at the laying of the foundation stone of the grand stand at the Chester race course to-day, that he derived plenty of excitement from racing his horses and occasionally winning, without betting, but he could not see the harm in moderate betting. Th4 oojectlonable feature, in his opinion, was that youths and women made wagers when they had not the means of paying them, which undoubtedly caused mischief. The Hashes Statue Unveiled. LONDON.

A CESSPOOL OF FRAUD

LIKELY TO BE OCOVEKED BY A CASE IX SILLIVAX COl.XTV. Ex-L'nlted States Marshal Hawkins Sues County Treasurer for Damages In a. Recent Bond Deal. Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal SULLIVAN. Ind., June 24. Ex-United States Marshal Hawkins, by his attorneys. John S. Bays and Brlggs & 1'igg. of this city, filed suit this afternoon against W. R. Frokea, county treasurer, for &.000 damages. Mr. Hawkins was one of the bidders In the recent sale of gravel road bonds made a few daj'a ago. A premium of $1,500 was offered for the bonds by W. II. Cunder and Mr. Hawkins, but notwithstanding this fact the bonds were sold to Ohio parties for "3,000, their face' value. Mr. Frakes in explanation of the bond sale says that when the Jackson township bonds were advertised, Joseph E. Hurt made a very low bid, provided he could have the bonds at par. He states that the County Commissioners came to him and asked if he would agree to turn the bonds over, vhich he old. When the bids were opened for the Curry township bonds they were made on the same plan, that they would do the work at such a price, provided they could get the bonds at par. Mr. Frakes says he was acting in the interest of the county when he agreed to the plan adopted. The subject is the chief topic of discussion in this city to-day, and It is rumored that this is not the first instance of that kind of a fraud. About six years ago whenhe Gill town ship ditch and levee bonds were issued and sold it was charged that the price ac cepted was several thousand dollars less than their market value. J. Nathan Scott was then treasurer of this county. There was a largo number of bidders present at the sale whose bids, it was charged, were ignored and the figures of the bidders were not dieclosed when information as to tha amounts respectively were called for by taxpayers. These bonds were as good as gold and sold for about 14,000 less than an equivalent amount of Knox county ditch and leveo bonds sold at tho same time under the same law. The Sullivan Times, one of the Democratic papers of this county, at this time charged the commissioners with making unlawful allowances to tho auditor, and the matter became a subject for investigation by the grand jury, and it was alleged that the board narrowly escaped Indictment. A great number of shady transactions have occurred In this county. One faction of the Democratic party is continually endeavoring to swallow up the other, but all these transactions occur in the ranks of the faithful, who are not fit subjects for investigation. Matters are reaching such a state that prominent Democrats dislike to tolerate the present condition of affairs, and the good citizens of this county earnestly hope that the present steps against fraud will read to Investigation. Mr. Hawkins is- popular with members of all parties here, and Is a prominent politician, and If he sees a fraud he is not afraid to expose it. and Is much commended for his stand in this matter. In this connection it might not be improper to state that he is being quietly urged by some of his friends as a candidate for Congress to succeed Mr. MIers. 4 MARSHALL IS IX PRISON. 'Winchester Jury Let Him Go fosr Murder in Indiana. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind., June 24. The career of Samuel H. Marshall, whose arrest, trial and acquittal at Winchester of the murder and robbery of Louisa Stoltz In Portland during February of last year attracted attention all over the country, has been watched with much Interest by persons in this city. During the trial of Albert Musser, Marshall's alleged confederate, Marshall kept under cover, but several months since Musser was sent to Michigan City for life he came. Into prominence by being arrested at Terre Haute for forgery committed at Henderson, Ky. A telegram received to-day from the prosecuting attorney at Henderson tells of the disposal of Marshall's case. A portion of the letter is given below: "At the May term of the Henderson Circuit Court Samuel II. Marshal was convicted and sent to the penitentiary for two years on the charge of forgery. Another indictment for, forgery is still pending against him in our court. On yesterday J. H. Marshall, of this city, father of Samuel H. Marshall, committed suicide here. A few days since a brother of Samuel H. Marshall was arrested In St. Louis on charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses." THREE INCHES OF HAIL. Terrific Storm In Morgan County That Destroyed Crops. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVILLE, Ind., June 24. Tha most seyere hailstorm ever known in this county was experienced yesterday evening, extending over a stretch of country six miles long and a mile or two wide. Hall In some places covered the ground three inches, making ribbon3 of the growing corn blades and utterly ruining the melon vines and beating apples from the trees and berries from the bushes. Wheat Just in process of cutting was beaten to the ground. The loss to farmers three miles east of here will reach thousands, many of whom are heavy growers of fruit and melons. The falling of the hall continued many minutes and was accompanied by a great rearing plainly heard in this city for fifteen or twenty minutes. Hall fell that was more than an inch in diameter. THE UNLUCKY OPAL. It Burst In Fragments and Miss Relmhoe'R Betrothed Died. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HAGERSTOWN, Ind., June 24. Some months ago Miss Katie Relmshoe, who lives in the southern part of this county, received from her sweetheart an engagement ring set with a fine opal. Miss Relmshoe, was prejudiced against the stone because of the stories she had heard concerning it, and frequently said she was oppressed with a dread that some nameless evil would follow her acceptance of the unlucky stone. This dread took definite form in a measure, for she said that she feared her marriage would never take place. One day she was sitting by the fire warming her hands and slowly turning the ring to observe the effects of the sparkle from the firelight. Suddenly the opal Eurst Into fragments and scattered over the floor. The occurrence increased the girl's foreboding and she became very gloomy and worried constantly. The outcome would seem to justify her fears, for within a month after the opal burst her lover was taken suddenly ill and died within a few days, before she could reach his bedside. Opals as settings for engagement rings are not now popular in this community, and the old-time prejudice airalnst the jewel has been revived to a remarkable degree. SHOT THE PAWNBROKERS.

TERRH HAUTE, Ind.. June 24. The County Commissioners made a ruling depriving St. Anthony's and the Union Hospital each of its $50 a month allowance for the month of Juno. This Is done because the hospitals refused to receive a cancer Eatlent for- whose treatment outride the opital the commissioners have been called on to pay a bill. It seems that when the patient was sent to the hospitals by the commissioners the physicians said that it was an Incurable case and that death was almost certain if an operation should be performed. Then it was that a club of young men fitted up their clubroom for temporary hospital purposes and took in the patient, first getting the consent of several physicians to perform the operation. The patient was so much relieved by the operation that he has eiince gone to his former home in Illinois. Fighting Affnlnat Asphalt. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION. Ind., June 24.
