When members of the Dewey reception committee waited on the President at Long Branch last week Mr. McKlnley told them that he would willingly do anything In his power to do honor to the admiral.

MIGHT NAME REAL SPY

EMPEROR WILLIAM CAS SAVE CAPT. DREYFUS IP 1IC DESIRES. France, However, Has Heretofore raid Little Heed to German Declarations Lonbet Scored by Deroolede. BERLIN, Aug. 23. The Cologne Gazette to-day in an Inspired article replying to the foreign press, says: "After the failure of Major Panlzzardl and Colonel Schneider to convince tho French people, colonel schwarzkoppen's Intervention In behalf of one Innocently sentenced would be futile, especially since Germany has already done more than could be expected by Count Von Buelow's solemn declarations, which were given as representing the empire and the Emperor, and Colonel Schwartzkoppen's word of honor In his declarations In November, 1897, that he never had any relations with Dreyfus." The Tageblatt says the government might name the real spy. Deroalede Insults Lonbet. PARIS, Aug. 23. Paul Deroulede, founder and president of the League of Patriots and member of the Chamber of Deputies, who was arretted on Aug. 12 on his estate at Crolssy, near Paris, and incarcerated in prison charged with being Involved In a conspiracy to accomplish a change in the form of government, has written a letter to President Lou bet violently protesting against the gross "calumny involved in sending me to trial as a royalist conspirator" and demanding to be tried without further delay. He declares that the protests and demands of the League of Patriots are "the permanent result of your (M. Loubet'a) policy of abasement in the face of the foreigner." After referring to M. Loubet'a delay in signing the decree and sending him before the high court of Justice, M. Deroulede concludes hlj letter as follows: "Why wait to sign to-morrow what your masters desire? Let us both submit to the judgment of history I as a servant of the rights of the people and you as a defender of the usurpations, abuses and crimes of Parliament." De Clam Slakes Revelation. PARI 9, Aug. 30. Major Tavernler, acting under the Rogatory commission Issued by Colonel Jouaust, president of the Dreyfus court-martial, questioned Colonel Du Paty as Clam at 4 o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon and will continue tne- exam inatlon totday. Asccording to the Matin. Colonel Du Paty de Clam made sensational revelations. Maitre Demange, it is reported, is representing Dreyfus at the examination. M. Liaaojoax Arrested. PARIS, Aug. 23. M. Llssojoux, who supplled the Eclair with information from which the "Cette Canaille de D article was concocted, was arrested to-day. The prisoner declared that the article was made up from information received from several persons and not from documents, and that he did not know anything about its origin. LIKE THE DREYFUS CASE. An Artilleryman Suspected of Imparting Information to Germans. PARIS, Aug. 23. A case somewhat similar to that of Captain Dreyfus, now being tried before a court-martial at Rennes for treason, is reported at Nancy. The police claim to have found at the residence there of a French artillery subaltern a commission in the German army and valuable French army maps. The suspected man belongs to an aid Alsatlen family, other members of which are suspected of complicity in the affair. Has Not Abandoned tbe Canal Bill. BERLIN, Aug. 23. Both houses of the Prussian Diet met in Joint session to-day. The Imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, expressed the very great regret of the government that the canal bill had not met with approval, but, he said, the government adhered steadfastly to the project and was confident that conviction of its necessity would grow more among the people. The chancellor concluded with saying the government hoped tho next session would bring about an understanding with the Diet. The session was then closed. Wellman Mast Undergo Operations. LONDON. Aug. 23. A specialist of this city, who has been consulted by "Walter Wellman. who arrived in London yesterday after his return of explorations of San Josefs Land, reports that the Injury to Mr. Wellman's leg, which was seriously hurt by a fall into a snow-covered crevasse, will not be permanent, and that he expects Mr. Wellman will be quite well in a lew months, lhe patient, will, however, have to undergo two operations. It is thought he will remain here. Dewey Passes a Quiet Day. NICE. Aug. 23. Admiral Dewey passed a quiet day on board the Olympla at Villa Franche to-day. Consul Fletcher is expected to arrive here and call on the Admiral before the latter's departure Thursday. Arbitration Accepted. PEKING, Aug. 23. It has been arranged between the Russian minister here, M. Depiers, and the British charge d'affaires, Mr. Bax-Ironslde, to submit the Hankow Incident to arbitration. Cable Xote. One new severe case of bubonic plague and tnree mild cases were officially reported at Oporto yesterday. Frauleln Johanna Stein, a teacher, started on Sunday to climb the Planica in the Julian Alps without a guide. As she did not return a search was made for her and her mutilated body was found at the foot of a rock 200 meters high. DRAWN BATTLE. CConclnded from First rage.) last war In regard to the lack of spies. Cuers, he pointed out, spoke French admirably, and therefore it could not be maintained that only German was spoken at the interview at Basle between Cuers, Henry and Lauth. One of Cuerss special services, continued the witness, was furnishing Germany with false information. He therefore sometimes was obliged to say he had succeeded in suborning a French officer, and In this way Cuers was induced to declare that ho had obtained the collaboration of an officer of the headquarters staff. Proof of this could be found at headquarters in the dopier of false documents delivered to Germany. "These documents," added Colonel Cordler, "are no doubt in all the better order because the archivist. M. Gribelin, wears blue spectacles." Laughter. CALLED TO ORDER. Colonel Jouaust called the witness to order and the remark was withdrawn, witness declaring amidst peals of laughter: "It escaped me, Monsieur le President I withdraw the spectacles." Cordler then described the events prior to the arrest of Dreyfus and showed that only a single real leakage, namely, the plans of the fortresses, had occurred at the time of his arrest. The document known as the "Cette canaille de D ," he explained, was contemporaneous with this leakage. "It has been said," continued the witness, "that I made a mistake on this point and .confounded the document with another containing the initial alone. I should like very much to see the document in order to assure myself that it had not been tampered with. It is not. however, of any Importance except to show that General Roget's evidence concerning me is false from beginning to end." (Sensation.) General Roget asked leave to speak, but Colonel Cordler continued, showing how the leakage of plans of fortresses was facilitated by the carelessness of the headquarters staff, and maintained that the leakage was still occurring when the wltner left the War Office. Reverting to the manner in which the suspicions against Drej-fus crystallized, tne colonel described the tffort9 to pry into the prisoner's life, and said the Information at first received was very bad and constituted strong proof against tho prisoner. IjUUt, however. It assumed quite a different aspoct. It was admitted that before his marrl.ij; Dreyfus was not "unimpeachable morally, nor was he entitled to wear a wreath ol orange blossoms." (Laughter.V But, Cordler added, after his marriage Dreyfus was quite different. The witness aLso said that while Dreyfus bCasted of his conquests he .Cordler! was of the eniaioa that those who

boasted the most accomplished the least. Laughter. Dreyfus, he continted, bragged a great deal and now probably repented having done so, and Dreyfus'a inquisitlveness, according to witness, was probably explained by his knowledge that he would not be long on the headquarters staff and he desired to obtain all the inlcrmatlon which might be useful to him in after life. The colonel then paid a tribute to the memory of Colonel Sandherr, who examined the Immerse mass of documents relating to espionage and unearthed the "Cette canaille de D ." document, which seemed to the witness to date back to antiquity. SAYS DREYFUS IS INNOCENT. In 1S94 the witness regarded as insufficient the sole proof against Dreyfus namely, the bordereau.. He did not believe the prisoner was guilty, but the fact that the Judges were unanimous in convicting him changed the witness's mind. lite doubts, however, returned when he saw that the date of the bordereau received in September had been fixed as May. Colonel Plcquart's lnv-it;gatlon and the Infamous campaign against Plcquart increased the suspicions of the witness. "In ISM." declared Colonel Cordler, emphatically, "I had been reassured by the unanimity of the Judges, and I was absolutely convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus. Now I am absolutely convinced of his Innocence." Great excitement. Next the witness discussed the attacks on himself. He said he was astonished at being accused of being soured because he was not given charge of the intelligence department in succession to Colonel Sandherr, "as every one knew I wished to quit the service simultaneously with my friend Sandherr." Replying to the president, Cordler declared that the approaches of the Dreyfus family to Colonel Sandherr were not attempts at corruption, and that Dreyfus's brother's remark. "Our fortune is at your disposal," was only the expression of the family's ardent desire to save an Innocent member of it. Witness well remembered hearing that Es terhazy and Henry were in the intelligence department together about the year 1&&8, but, he added, Esterhazy had not since been employed there, and If he had any relations with the departmer they must have been clandestine. Replying to Colonel Jouaust's request to state what he knew regarding Henry's relations with Plcquart, Cordier said goodfellowship prevailed In the department until the appearance of Henry, who had been forced on Sandherr. Henry had close relations with the supreme chief and his colleagues suspected he might report what he heard in the office divisions and what occurred in the department. Some supported Sandherr and others supported Henry. Among the latter was Gribelin. It was then, while the division was rampant, that the witness handed over his department to Col. Plcquart. Henry was much Incensed at being, superseded by a Junior officer and resolved te do everything to supplant him, "and," added the witness, "the Henry forgery could have had no other object but to ruin Colonel Plcquart. with the view of giving Henry his place." THE ARREST OF DREYFUS. M. Labori asked the witness what he knew in regard to the arrest of Dreyfus and Cordier replied that his recollections on that point were not very definite. He found difficulty in recalling the names of those who were present at the dictation scene, but he was Informed on several occasions as to what occurred. "I remember," he . declared, "that one of the proofs advanced against Dreyfus was that during the scene he looked into a mirror. That Is going too far. If Dreyfus looked into the mirror it was because he had seen another head besides his own there. There was an arrangement of mirrors and, since it must be told, I will say: Behind the curtain were two ears listening.' Dreyfus, therefore, might have seen something besides hl3 own face In the mirror. M. Labori questioned the witness In regard to the letter mentioned in M. De La Roche-Vernet's evidence, referring to the spy "C. C. C," which was dispatched to the "War Office at the time of Picquarfs arrival. Cordler explained that it was a letter from an Italian lady with whom the department at that time was in correspondence through an intermediary at the Foreign Ofa j. "1 greatly respect Italian ladies in g.'4r.il," said General Cordler, "but not whin It ls a case of espionage, and I advised Plcquart not to make too much use ef the lady's offer, saying to him 'there must not be any petticoats. " At this Juncture M. Labori informed the president of the court that he had received a signed "pages." announcing the dispatch of a letter relative to the relations between Colonel Sandherr and the Dreyfus family. Counsel added that he himself received a telegram as follows: "I declare: Colonel Sandherr told me distinctly that neither before nor after the conviction was offer of money made to him." Colonel Jouaust announced that he would not read the letter because he knew nothing of the writer, and asked the usual question of Dreyfus, who replied that he would refer merely to the scene on Oct. 15 preceding his arrest. "It was," he said, "so fantastic that I frankly confess I understood nothing connected with It. It was conducted under such conditions that I do not know .what manner of brain could have conceived it. and when I left the sxtraordinary scene my head literally reeled, so I cannot remember the facts and details." Major Lauth. having been permitted to speak, said Colonel Cordler's leave of absence commenced Sept. 13, and Sept. 22, to which Cordier retorted that he was much surprised at contradiction on such an unimportant point. But, nevertheless, his original statement was true. Continuing, the major commented on Colonel Cordler's testimony, especially the statement that there was no anti-Semites on the headquarters staff, remarking that there was one exception, and this was Cordier himself, who was always expressing antipathy to the Jews, especially when there was a question of Introducing Dreyfus to the department. AN HONEST MAN. "Yes," exclaimed Cordler, "quite true. I was an anti-Semite, but my opinions never went to the length of bringing false evidence against the Jews. Sensation. I am an honest man, and I have a conscience." Renewed excitement. Major Lauth proceeded to discuss other points. He said he hlmselt pieced the "cetta Canaille de D " document, and added that as it was only received at the department at the end of 1893, It could not be regarded as ancient. He explained that tho tension existing In the department was between the officers and Colonel Cordier. When the president asked Cordler if he desired to say anything In rebuttal to Major Lauth's statement, Cordier replied: 'Nothing at all." When, however, the major asserted In regard to the letter "C C C" that Cordier had nothing to do with the Italian affairs which Sandherr conducted. Colonel Cordler arose and said: "As deputy chief, I was acquainted with all the work done, while Major Lauth was merely my assistant." At this juncture Major Lauth handed a letter from Madame Sandherr contradicting Colonel Cordler's statements relative to the presence of Sandherr at the war office on a certain day. General Roget then mounted the platform, where his appearance caused a general ftlr. He said he would not reply to Colonel Cordier's statements concerning himself, but added: The witness has stated that what I said was false. He must now say In what I have been incorrect." Colonel Cordler In everything. General Roget Very well. Let us be exact. Let us take the case of Le MerclerPlcard. Continuing, General Roget entered Into a lengthy explanation, denouncing Le Mercier-Picard as an impostor and a swindler, apparently with the object of showing that Cordler's allegation that Le Mercier-Picard was employed by the general staff was unfounded. Roget also referred to a letter to Mathieu Dreyfus, attributed to Cordler, whereupon the latter again arose and protested against General Roget's Insinuations. He declared that when It became known that he was going to testify, he was covered with mud and treated as a drunkard, in order to minimize the value of his evidence. He also emphatically protested against a statement of the Libre Parole that he offered his services to Mathieu Dreyfus, and said the minister of war had authorized him the witness to prosecute the newspaper. In regard to the forged letter to Mathieu Dreyfus, continued Cordler, investigation had shown that Le Mercier-Picard undoubtedly forced It.

A LETTER WITHHELD. General Roget having pointed out that the letter in question was returned to the headquarters staff through the post. Colonel Cordler expressed surprise at the fact that the letter was not delivered to the addressee, whoso residence, he explained, was well known. Major Lauth again asked permission to speak, but Colonel Jouaust declared that the incident was not connected with the Dreyfus case, and that the discussion must be terminated. General Roget Very well. I will wait until Colonel Cordier states exactly .which of my depositions ls false before I reply. Continuing. General Roget proceeded to make the same statements that General Mercier used to confound Captain Freystaetter, saying that ttie leakage in regard to the Robin shell were oitfy reported in is 5-1393. which, he said, necessarily Invali dated the captain's statement that these leakages formed the subject of part Of the

5ecret dossier In 1394.. Captain Freystaetter, however, merely mentioned "a shell," and not the Robin shell. The general then denied that the leakages in the Ministry of War continued after the conviction of Dreyfus and said the information given to a certain foreign power before Dreyfus was convicted was "quite correct," while the Information furnished afterward was incorrect. Colonel Picquort.'s testimony in this connection. Roget asserted, was untrue. All the leakages subsequent to Mi related to documents anterior to the arrest of Dreyfus. When asked if he had anything to say. Dreyfus promptly rose and said: "I never had any share in the preparation of Plan

plan was executed in I had merely to superintend the printing of five or six copies of it. General Roget also spoke of a letter frem Captain Demus. I would be glad to see that letter. I know nothing of It Colonel Fleur appeared In the witness box to refute Colonel Cordler's testimony. He declared that on Aug. 23. 189S. Colonel Cordier said to him: "Dreyfus is guilty, but there must be two others. There are three of them," Colonel Ceriier shrugged his shoulders and admitted that just a week before the arrest of Henry he aald forgery had been committed at the headquarters staff, but the colonel added, he twd the same thing to others the day after the posting up of the speech of M. Cavaignac, the minister of war, voted by the Chamber of Deputies. ' Archivist Gribelin also advanced and protested against Colonel Ctrdler's statement. MERCIER CREATES A SENSATION. Gribelin was followed by General Mercier, who said that It was necessary for Cordler to say what he knew about the arrangement of the secret dossier by Col. Sandherr. General Mercier caused a sensation by indorsing Colonel Cordler's statements with reference to the-alleged attempt of Mathieu Dreyfus to bribe Col. Sandherr. The general said: "When the colontl reported the interview and I asked his opinion of it, Sandherr replied: 'He gave me the Impression of being an honest man resolved to sacrifice everything for his brother.' " This statement caused commotion in court. After a brief adjournment the session of the court was continued, the name of M. Da Ireycinet was called, and amidst suppressed excitement, the former minister of war, former minister of foreign affairs and fonrer premier, took the stand. M. Demange proceeded to question the former minister. Counsel recalled General Mercler's statement that M. De Freycinet told General Jamont that 35.000,000 francs had been raised abroad for tho defense of Dreyfus. In reply M. De Freycinet expressed the anguish which he felt at the sight of the trouble Into which his country was plunged and said his whole desire was to see peace and calm restored. In regard to the conversation referred to the witness said: General Jamont made a visit of courtesy on the occasion of my quitting office at the beginning of May. I received many similar visits. 1 do not think, that I exaggerate when I say I received a hundred soich visits. I made no note of the remarks exchanged by my different visitors, v In the case of General Jamont we, of course, talked about the case and the campaign speeches and press utterances which had been Proceeding in dilYrnt nnrtu rf thia world during the previous two years. In regard to the Dreyfus case I was led to say that eur agents abroad reperted that efforts had been made on the initiative of private Individuals In behalf of this camSaign a very disinterested campaign In 'ranee, I am sure, but less so abroad. I reported the estimates I heard had been made by -people who prefessed to be well acquainted with the question of advertising in regard to the probable money value of the whole campaign throughout the werld since its Inception. That, Monsieur le Presidente, la a resume, as complete as my recollection permits, of the conversation with General Jamont. What struck me most was the Identity of our anxiety in regard to the army. We mutually expressed uneasiness, for it must not be concealed that the present attacks have had a profound echo which might eventually endanger the cohesion of the army. You know well, gentlemen, that there ls a higher discipline than even the military code, as I said in the Chamber. It ls that more rigid discipline which comes from the confidence of the soldier In his chiefs. How can that confidence be maintained if these chiefs are depicted daily in the blackest colors? Was It not to bo feared that at a given moment this conndence would disappear, and what would be re.!uIt.lf WM engaged in external difficulties? Sensation. I . adjure those of my countrymen " continued M. De Freycinet, earnestly. who participate in these attacks under the. Impulse of generous passion and with the object of serving a noble, elevated idea I have no doubt they are led away to take heed to the dangers in which they may involve the ceuntry. As General Jamont said to me: 'It is high time to end it. Let us cease throwing In one another's faces accusations which discredit us in the eyes of our rivals. Gentlemen, let us prepareand I would that my feeble voice could be heard by all to-day let us prepare to accept yeur Judgment with respect and silence. May the Judgment of this French court, towards which the whole world has its eyes turned, open up the era pf reconciliation which Is so necessary. Great excitement. . . THE "LITTLE WHITE MOUSE." "Gentlemen, pardon me for. telling you what I wish. It springs from a heart which has no longer much, to desire here below, except to live to see the country great and honored. Great commotion. I have finished. .. I have glvan the exact account of my Interview with the commander-in-chief of our army in time of war. I have nothing to add." M. De Freycinet had fully maintained his title to the nickname "Little Wnite Mouse," which was bestowed on him on acount of his ability to speak lengthily without conveying much Information. Replying to a member of the court-martial M. De Freycinet explained the part which he played in the Ministry to which he belonged. He said he confined himself to giving effect to the government's decisions when the Supreme Court decided in favor of a revision. M. Demange wanted M. De Freycinet to repeat in court his statements made in the Chamber of Deputies in regard to the small Importance attaching to the alleged treason, but M. De Freycinet declined to inflict them, saying the court, could, however, indicate the sense of his speech. In his opinion, most of the leakage could only have been of infinitesimal Importance, though the Information relative to covering the troops might have been Important. Tho publication of secrets relating to arming and explosives was also dangerous. Rut when the witness made his speech in the Chamber of Deputies he wished, above all, to avoid Increasing public excitement. M. Labori Is M. De Freycinet aware of any fact which led him to believe foreign money had played a part in the revision of the trial of 1SS4? M. De Freycinet No, no. Monsieur le President. M. Labori What does M. De Freycinet think of the accusations of a certain section of the press against MM. ScheurerKestner. Trarleux. Brisson and Ranc, and by another section tending to attribute the opinion on the revision expressed by those persons to the influence of corruption. Colonel Jouaust J. refuse to put the question. M. Labori insisted that he should at least be permitted to question M. De Freycinet relative to M. Scheurer-Kestner, whose statements about the letters Colonel Picquart wrote to him from Tunis have been contradicted by Savlgnaud, Picquarfs former orderly, to which the president of the court replied that the good faith of M. Scheurer-Kestner was not under discussion. Colonel Jouaust added that M. Labori wished to Impart passion Into the proceedings. Counsel was defending himself against this, aspersion, when M. De Freycinet intervened and said he did not scruple to say that M. Scheurer-Kestner was his friend and that ho had the highest opinion of his character. M. Labori thanked the witness for this frank statement. After leaving the witness stand M. De Freycinet took a seat beside General Billot, with whom he briefly con versed. The former minister then left the courtroom, after having been excused from further attendance. M. Galllchet. editor of the Drapeau. then testified. He expressed his personal Indignation at the charges of treason against Henry and repeated the gossip of a third party relative to an alleged remark Colonel Cordier was overheard to make namelv, "We have taken Dreyfus with his hand in the bag." M. Belhomme, a former Inspector of schools, seventy-eight years of age, testified that he examined as an expert the berdereau in the Kfnerhazy case and came, to the conclusion that It was not the work of Esterhazy. The witness added that he adhered to his opinion even more positively now than before. Incidentally M. Belhomme expressed surprise at the fact that the Court of Cassation did not take the result of his examination Into acount. In conclusion M. Belhomme declared he never believed the bordereau was in Esterhazy's writing, and added that until he actually saw him make a fresh copy of the document he would have no remarks to make in re gard to the handwriting of Dreyfus, which he had not sufficiently examined. After M. Demange had asked a question or I two to which M. Belhomme- did not reply, M. Dcmacgo pointed out the contradictions

Many methods have been suggested for the extermination of the trusts. The most feasible, it seems to me, is to require every corporation to obtain a license from the fedeial government before it is permitted to do business outside the State in which organized. This license can be granted under conditions which will squeeze the water out of the stock and prevent the monopolization of any industry"This Nation must choose between being a republic or an empire. An imperial policy cannot be defended on any ground. From a financial standpoint it will be an expense to a large majority of the people and a profit only to the capitalists who would organize syndicates to develop the Philippines. From a religious point of view it cannot be defended. A despotism at Manila ls not consistent with a free government in the United States. This Nation cannot endure while half its people are citizens and half vassals." v Democrat Sqcceeds Bland. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Aug. 29.

NEW TRUNK LINE PROBABLE

One of the Lnte Senator B rice's Solirniei 3Iay Be Carried Oat. BALTIMORE, Aug. 29. For several weeks expert accountants have been examining the books of the Wrestern Maryland Railroad Company with a view o naming a price for Baltimore city's Interest In th; ccmpany, which carries the controlling Influence of the property. To-day the repor was placed in thehands of John I. Waterbury, president of the Manhattan Trust Company, of New York, who is the head of the syndicate for which the examination was made and which Is negotiating for the property. It is the impression that the Brice system of railroads, which the late Senator Calvin S, Brlce has been developing by the purchase of small lines in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the construction of additional mileage, would be the natural ally of the New York syndicate should It secure the Western Maryland Railroad. The Astora are said to be Interested in the project to take hold of and develop the Western Maryland Railroad. It was the elm of Senator Brlce to develop a new trunk line by the union of various nhort lines advantageouy located, using tliem as -a basis for a move to secure a seaboard outlet. The lines secured ran through sections whose products, both agricultural and manufacturing, afford a heavy tonnage. One of the most important of these lim-s is the Buffalo. Rochester & Pittsburg Railroad, which has a lake outlet at Buffalo and taps the Clearfield coal regions of Pennsylvania. The building of a.n extension of the Western Maryland Railroad from Chambersburg would be necessary to make a connection with the Brice lines, and while some heavy construction would be necessary the project is considered feasible. In hands of a syndicate backed by sufficient capital and possessing alliance to reach the West, the Western Maryland could be made part of a new route to Chicago. Without taking into consideration the interest on the bonds and other securities held by th city, the Indebtedness of the Western Maryland to Baltimore city In round numbers ls $5,000,000. "HOW I BECAME RICH. Some Comments on Collls P. Hunting; ton's Philosophy. Collier's Weekly. Mr. Collls P. Huntington has been persuaded to give ec me advice to young men on the way to succeed in life. As in most cases of this kind the suggestions usually take the form of examples drawn from the great man's own career. . "In regard to myself," says Mr. Huntington, "I live within my means." As Mr. Huntington's means run into seven figures this achievement will, perhaps, not strike most of us as being so remarkable as it appears to Mr. Huntington himself. If we had his chance we might do almost as well. Still, it is notoriously true, as any butcher or baker or dressmaker to the rich will tell you, that those who can best afford to pay their bills are usually the slowest; from which we may infer that they don't do as Mr. Huntington doe. "There is another principle that must be obeyed," says Mr. Huntington, "business before pleasure. There was to be an important meeting here tonight, but one of the gentlemen said he could not attend because he had to go to an entertainment with his wife.". What lesson is to be drawn from this episode? Never let your wife's enjoyment interfere with your business affairs; of course. Altogether, Mr. Hunting-ton does not appear to have a very high opinion of women. In referring to "false pride" as an obstacle to success, he exclaims, "Why, I know young men in New York city who wouU not carry a trunk along Fifth aveune if ysu should give them all the frontage they could pass, simply because the'y be afraid they'd meet some girl they knew." Mr. Huntington does not realize what a serious reflection he has made on the New York girl. The young men he has in mind are, of course, the very men who sent recruits to the Rough Riders last year and who proved that they could handle a rille as deftly as they could flirt a fan, and could lie in the ditches as complacently all night as in the arms of an easy chair at the club. And yet these very men would not dare to carry a trunk along Fifth avenue! Mr. Hutington's most important utterance relates to college educa tlon. "Certain classes of young men make a, mistake in going to college. They lose the most receptive and important part of their lives from seventeen to twenty-one in tilling themselves with knowledge of other men's deeds that can be of no prac tlcal use to the commercial world." Think of that! The most receptive and Important part of their lives wasted in studying matters that have nothing to do with commerce, that merely broaden their minds an teach them that there are other things worth living for besides accumulating money and getting the advantage of their neighbors! Mr. Hutington's philosophy ls summed up In these complacent words: "I never wanted anything that I needed; I always got ft." Have you ever thought ef the happiness that comes through Ignorance of what one has missed? SANTIAGO'S HOSriTAL. The Old Military Structure Bollt by the Spaniards American Chances. Paul W. Mount, in New York Commercial Advertiser. On a high, level plateau which skirts the southeast section of. Santiago de Cuba and overlooks many of the city's tallest buildings stands the old Spanish military hospital, built by the Spaniards many years ago and now occupied as a general hospital for sick American soldiers. It ls not a pretentious-looking structure, whose vast size and picturesque outlines might invite attention and admiration, but its chief claims to distinction or merit lie In its unobtrusive simplicity, yet solidity of construction, the unique arrangement of its various departments, its admirable adapta billty to the purposes Intended and its absolute dissimilarity architecturally and In interior arrangement to American hospitals. A distinctive feature, also, which will not escape an American, will be what might seem the great waste of ground, every foot of which would be utilized for building purposes by the thrifty Yankee, who would thereby get as much hospital on half the area, but a little reflection will demonstrate that he would have only half as much comfort for the unfortunate inmates. Such items as space and expense have ever been secondary considerations in the mind of the Spanish architect and builder, and In the planning of the Santiago hospital his principal aims seem to have been stability, adaptability, comfort and pleasant surroundings. Thus within its walls giant trees fan breezes through the sick wards, while their leaves rustle melodies, soft and soothing: palm and plant, vine and flower ft Hay painful and tedious environment; orange trees scatter the refreshing perfume of midwinter blossoms, and fountains spray and cool the hot, blighting air. The way to the hospital lies across a wide lawn shaded by big trees. The entrance ls through a deep rotunda, whose rows of columns, surmounted by arches, make cool shadows within the walls. The building forms a large rectangle and a covered flagged pavement extends all around its inner wails. This covered way opens upon wide lawns shaded by great trees and adorned with llower beds. In the midst of this green space stands another rectangle formed of twenty hospital wards, each detached from the other, ten on either side of a large grassy court, where trees and flowers make beautiful the Intervening space, and a large fountain splashes in the center. Between the wards are graas-grown opea spaces wider than the wards themselves, for each is a separate building, but all open upon a broad covered pavement running around the inner court, which affords protection !o convalescents and nurses In all sorts of weather, 'lhe object of this plan ls obvious. The four sides of each ward are thus exposed to a free sweep of fresh, pure air. During Spanish occupation the wards contained twenty or more beds each, roomy iron beds, richly wrought and painted all over with exquisite floral designs. But these handsome, comfortable beds hp.ve been replaced by narrow wooden cot thirty to a ward in accordance wltn che American propensity to utilize space. The sick wards have lofty ceilings and wide windows, set high enough to make it inconvenient for a delirious patient to Jump out. The aspect from every window is upon waving foliage, flowering shrubs and the cool greenness of lawns, while the age of the buildings could be computed, in some measure, by the size of the towering trees between them. The entire hospital has an excellent tystera of underground sewerage, and each ward is fitted up with every necessary convenience. Under the direction of General Wood $40,000 has been expended in improvements for the hospitals, and these Include hot, cold and shower baths. A trip around the paved gallery of the outer building reveals the uses to which the ipoms of the hospital are put. To the left of the entrance opens the postoffice. next to which aro tho rooms occupied by the executive oSicers and clerks in the transact tion of business, and these are flanked by the office and apartments of the major doctor In command of this post, while upon the right-hand side aro a library, rooms for Isolated cases of contagious diseases, rooms for female nurs, and one where a dressmaker ls occupied lr making uniforms for the nurses. A corner room on this !de is used by the religiously Inclined for the holding of prayer meetings. Continuing around the side of the building are a number of rooms t or las use of the rJxht nurses

Next to these are the drug and prescription departments, and then the guardhouse. rhich is used by the Fifth United States Infantry and sometimes by the hospital authorities for disciplining refractory convalescents. Further on is located the kitchen. wher nourishment is prepared for the critically ill. and next to this are storerooms for tha medical supplies. The back of the hopltil is given over to dining-rooms, storerooms, a chapel, living rooms for cooks and assistants and the main kitchen, while the third corner of tbe rectangle ls used as a vegetable garden, which extends to the deadhouse, ntted with rows on rows of concrete slabs. The laundry comes next, then storerooms, commissary and . quartermaster departments, linen rooms and bedrooms for doctors and nurses. The rotunda in the front of the hospital open on one side upon a flagged court and on the other upon a bewildering mass of tropic flowers. Such is the general military hospital In Santiago to-day. The whispering leaves of the shadowing trees awaken no tad memories in the minds of the sufferers who gaze upon them and tell no tales of. the ghost of 400 Spanish dead who kept awful vigil in that brief time 'when this tlower-glrt pile was a charnel howe and whose remains were found there after the Spanish fell beside their arms and Americans planted their Hag on the heights of Santiago. , SHE WORE MEN'S CLOTHES. A Tonnff Woman from' Illinois ricked ' Up by tbe Police. Police Sergeant Giblin walked Into the police station about 2 o'clock this morning with a queer, prisoner.

SOLUTION! OP EGRO QLIISTIOX. Practical Working of One of Cooker AVasblnsrton's Theories. Popular Science Monthly. One of the surest ways to abolish tha color Urn, he tells his hearers, ls to learn to do some kind of work so well that your services will be really needed. "There came to my knowledge," says Mr. Washington, "the fact that the owners of a certain creamery were in search of an able superintendent. Wo had Just graduated a man who was thoroughly capable In every way, but he wa3 justabout as black as it is possible for a man to be. Nevertheless, I sent him on to apply for the place. When he made his errand known to the owners they looked at him and said: " 'A colored man? Oh, that would never do, you know "The applicant for work said very politely that he had not come there to talk about his color, but about the making of butter. Still, they said he would not do. Finally, however, something the man said. attracted the attention of the owners of the creamery, and they told him - he might stay two weeks on trial, although they still assured him that there was no posslbiljity whatever of their hiring a colored man. He went to work, and when the report for the first week's shipment for butter came back would you believe it? that butter had sold for 2 cents a pound mere than any butter ever before made at that creamery! The owners of the establishment said to each other, 'Why, now, this is very singular!' and waited for the second week. When the returns for that week came back a cent a pound more than for the week previous, S cents a pound more than the creamery's best record before our man had taken charge of tt they didn't say anything. They Just pocketed the extra dividend, as welcome as it was unexpected, and hired the man for a term of years. That extra 3 cents a pound on the price of the butter he could make had knocked every bit of black out of the color of his akin so far as they were concerned. Kansas Prosperity, Washington Tost. In forty-eight counties In our State there ls not a single poorhou that has an occupant," paid Mr. O. n. llllby, of Kansas, at the Ebbitt. "In almost the same number of counties there ls not a case on the criminal docket of the courts. "Our State was the rallying ground of the Populists and free sllverltes a few years ago. whose chief argument was that the fold standard meant pauperism and ruin, low foolish do their predictions appear in the light of the present conditions. To-day, under the administration which the Rryanites said would wreck the country. Kansas is fat and prosperous, and her farmers, who were threatened with all torts of adversity, have paid off their mortgages and have money In the banks. Verily, the day of the calamity howler and 16-to-l shrloker has passed, to return no more In Kansas. To Practical I'ses. Philadelphia Inquirer. An officer of the signal corps has been sent to Manila with a full set of Instruments to make experiments in wireless telegraphy, in the hope that by this means communication may be maintained between a column pursuing the enemy and Its base of supplies. This Idea of making practical tests of novel inventions related to warfare should be given free scope in the War Office bureaus.
