SEEKING PATOS ISLAND

BRITAIN CLAIMS A PORTIO! t MMUM eln territory. of Dispute That Man Been Pendina Man Years and May Be Settled at C'omlnK Demonstration. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-In Venezuela s yellow book for 1901, a copy of which ha been received in Washington recently from the Foreign Office at Caracas, are the exchanges between the London and Caracas governments last year in regard to the ownership of Pato? island, which has been in dispute between the two countries for many years. Significance attaches to this correspondence in view of the approaching crisis between Venezuela and Great Britain, as it Is not improbable that in the settlement of the claims of British and German citizens against Venezuela the the Patos dispute also will be involved. Reopening of the Patos question was caused by the action of the Venezuelan gunboat Augusto in January, 1901. in capturing certain British subjects on the island. When the Caracas authorities were called to account by the London Foreign Office, the former replfred by renewing their long standing claim to Patos and a diplomatic controversy extending throughout the year was the result. Venezuela based her claims to the island on its proximity to the coast of Guayara, from which it is distant only t .iree miles, claiming that it is a tenet of international law that a country commands waters within a marine league of its coast; that the International Law Institute has defined the territorial sea as six miles, whereas the island of Patos is more than ten miles from Trinidad, the nearest British possession. Further, that the treaty of March. 1846, "explicitly confirms the title f Veneluela over all the islands near her coast which were under the dominion of Spain in the Initiative period of Venezuelan independence." In support of this contention the Venezuelan authorities produce a letter from the royal Spanish minister of state in 1873 in which he denies that royal sanction ever was given to the concession alleged to have been made to the Ayuntamiento of Trinidad by the Governor of Patos, Huevos aim Monos. Great Britain, through her charge d'affaires at Caracas and later through her minister, advanced the contention that when she conquered the island of Trinidad in 1797 sovereignty over Patos al was obtained and so recognized by the Madrid government; that Patos has remained in the peaceful possession of Great Britain for more than a century, during seventy years of which time Venezuela advanced no counter claim, and that the official map of Codazzl colors the island of Patos the same as Trinidad, indicating that both belong to the same country. To this last contention Venezuela replied by stating that the map of Codazzl was M old as to make it impossible to distinguish the various colors and produced other maps by the same author which place Patos as belonging to Venezuela. Being unable to agree on even the minor points of the controversy, the British minister near the close of last year informed the Venezuelan Foreign Office that he would make no further representations In the matter, as there was nothing to be gained in continuing the correspond nee. It is understood that President Castro will ask that the question be settled by arbitration, a proposition to which the British government will hardly accede in view of its contention that the ownership of Patos is so clearly British as not to furnish a suitable subject for arbitration. Warships at Lagnayra. CARACAS, Dec. 7. The English secondclass cruiser Betributlon, from Bermuda, and the German cruiser Gazelle, from Willemstad. have anchored at Iaguayra. The Spanish warship Nautiles has also arrived at Laguayra. FUNERAL TUESDAY. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) of local importance. He was an able man with a Jury, but his forte was in the examination of witnesses. He did not browbeat, but in a manner peculiarly his own he induced witnesses to give the whole story. Early In 1876 he told his personal friends that he wanted to go to the national House. The district was represented by a prosperous manufacturer who was guiltless of anything like statesmanship, but, four years in office, he had at his command the Portland custom house, with its sixty officers, and every postmaster in the district. Some of his friends urged that after another term the representative would retire. After his manner he would hear to no suggestions of compromise. That was the year to be elected to Congress and no other would do. He had a gallant following, but he had opposed two railroad loans asked of Portland to Increase the business of the city in a manner that was resented- However, an organization was made, and as the result Mr. Reed was nominated by a small majority. A HOT CAMPAIGN. The campaign was a hot one. The Democrats nominated a popular man and the Republican whom Mr. Reed defeated in the convention permitted his name to be put on an independent ticket. Colonel Ingersoll opened the Maine campaign, speaking in Reed's district. This seemed to recall the fact that years before Mr. Reed had been dropped from the membership of a strict Congregational Church for expressing liberal opinions. 80 the Democratic organs, connecting Reed with Ingersoll, asked the people If they desired to be represented In Congress by an atheist. aft n went about the district who had probably not read a chapter In the Bible for years asking the religious people if they, as Christian men. could vote for a man who did not believe the Inspired word of God. But Mr. Re-d pulled through with a fair plurality. The recalling of this charge of atheism made against Mr. Reed also recalls a romantic chapter in his life. Quite early in his life Mr. Reed became an ardent suitor for the hand of a Miss Merrill, the daughter of an excellent but very strict Congregational clergyman, who could not endure the thought of having his (laughter marry a young man who had doubts regarding the Trinity and the absolute divine inspiration of the entire Bible. As an obedient daughter she dismissed Mr. Reed. A few years later she married another man who did not live long. After a proper waiting Mr. Reed, the rlstng young lawyer, renewed his suit and was successful. They were married a few years hefor.- Mr K- 1 went to Congress. It was a most fortunate union. The broken-hearted w.iman who now mourns his loss found in the waiting and persistent lover an ideal husband, while the excellent father-in-law Indignantly resented the charge that Mr. Reed was an infidel during that first campaign. REED WINS A FRI END. Mr. Reed entered the Congress after that which had declared the election cf General Hayes over Governor Tilden. It aas a Democratic House and the result of the presidential election was a topic for partisan recrimination. Mr. Reed was a siK nt member, but he was "learning the ropes." When the House voted the Potter committee to Inquire into the alleged Irregularities In the presidential election Mr. Raad was made the last man thereon. "Who Is Reed?" was asked, "that he should le put upon so important a committee?'' CoL V. YV. Clapp. the then manager of tin tlOaton Journal, put that question to one of his subordinates from Reed's State. When told that he was a brilliant lawyer, the veteran editor replietl: "There never was a man from Maine that all the other Maniacs did not declare that he is a wonder." It so happened that when the Potter committee was taking testimony at the Fifth-avenue Colonel Clapp was a guest In the house. ry naturally, he went into the parlor to listen and he happened there as Reed began the cross-examination of i;..ernor TUden. When the Baacon-StT I editor returned he said to hi Maine subordinate"Your man Reed Is a great lawyer. I have heard Rufus Choate and other great lawyers cross-examine witnesses In great cases, but I have never heard .i 1 iossexamlnutlon th it approached that which Reed gave Mr. Tilden. I stood two hours to listen to It and missed my train, but I would not have missed the tight between those two men for a thousand dollars. Bx

the way. when Mr. Reed is next In Boston I would like to see him." A few weeks later Mr. Reed was in Boston and was introduced to Colonel Clapp, a very conservative man. As they parted the Boston man said: 'Mr. Reed, we want you In Congress to represent New England, so whenever I can be of use to you let me know." Mr. Reed did not need to let Colonel Clapp know, as his interests in campaigns were always looked after. Mr. BMd 1id not get on well with President Hayes. He kept his enemies in the offices or neglected to notice his suggestions regarding apjointments. When Gen. Garfield was elected Mr. Reed had his way about the filling of vacancies and. being nothing of a politician, he made himself no end of trouble. Telling a friend of these troubles, in a half-comic manner, he said: ' In Blddeford two men were making a hard fight for the postoffice. Sd I seleetel a first-class man who was not a candidate. The two fellows are fighting me and the man I put in can't do anything." The listener reminded him that two years before he had told him that President Hayes was the best friend he had by not letting him name an official. HIS MISFORTUNE. It was Mr. Reed's misfortune to be "at outs" with prominent men In his party at home. In WJ he decided that he must go to the Senate as Mr. Hamlin's successor, who would not again be a candidate. Betöre the election came by the Legislature of 1881 he withdrew, but he laid his defeat to Mr. Blaine and was openly at war with

Senators Hale and Frye, the other candidates, both of whom soon entered the Senate. It was quite as much due to his dislike of these senators that he made the issue in 1SH) with President Harrison over the Portland collectorahip. General d';ir rison followed the precedent of years and accepted the selection of the senators, whereat the speaker was angry and remained so. As years passed Mr. Reed radically changed his manner of speaking. In the Greenback campaign of 1878, when that craze swept over Maine. Mr. Reed had the stumper Horr. of Michigan, with him a most humorous and sarcastic speaker. After a large meeting he asked a newspaper man and friend. "What did you think of our speeches last night?" As they were brilliant and sarcastic expositions of the folly of Greenbacklsm, with ludicrous references to the leaders, the friend replied that "as a saint he was highly edified, but the ungodly went away mad, and it is the ungodly you are seeking." He was silently thoughtful a minute and replied: "You always was a sort of a fool, but fools are sometimes wise. I think you are right.'' His speech the next night was pitched in a different key. Four years later Mr. Recd'l campaign speeches were philosophical discussions, but so clearly and simply put that people always listened. In one meeting In 1S7S In a Greenback stronghold a Greenback orator rose to dispute some figures relative to the finances. Mr. Reed promptly took up the official report and corroborated his statement. The orator remarked that his books were in his grip at the botal. "Yes." said Mr. Reed, "you fellows carry your mil-Information with you and leave your I:- . rmatlon in your grips." In Mr. Reed took a part In the campaign against General Butler in Massachusetts and was sent to those turbulent places where the ordinary orator would be drowned out with noise. In one of those meetings he had Just begun when the interruptions started. II stopped speaking, walked to the end of the platform next to the g-allery where the disturbers sat, and pointing to them said: "You have been hired to come here to break up my meeting here in Massachusetts the birthplace of free speech here under the shadow of Bunker Hill monument. You are traitors to the men who mad M issachusetts famous. I bid you be silent." A storm of applause followed and there was no further interruption. As his worth was appreciated and as his fame increased the First district in Maine came to admire th man. From running behind his ticket in 1SH) he came to lead it in 18!. Democrats by the hundreds voted for him because he was a statesman of whom they were proud, a man of the highest integrity, who could always be trusted. To those personal friends of his early days who were friends without hope of reward he was always the kind and ever loving man. The great distance which came between them because of his brilliant career was forgotten when they met and they went back to the days' when his first battles were fought. All in all. these old friends never expect to see his like. '.. A. S. GENEKAL FOREIGN NEWS.

"GAMBLING" HIS SUBJECT

1 Iii. REV. II. W. KELLOGG SAYS THE EVIL IS WISHED AT. Betting Allowed by Those in Authority at Football Games, lie Claims The Sermon. The Rev. Hiram W. Kellogg's subject at his sermon last night at the Central-avenue M. E. Church was ' Gambling." He took as his text the chapter from St. Matthew which describes the gambling of the Roman soldiers for the clothing and robes of Christ while they were stationed at His crucifixion on guard. He said in part: "This sermon comes in the course of sermons I have been preaching on practical life and has no reference to the present condition of this city. I am not so strongly inclined to crusades for moral bettering of cities as to the educational methods. If we can produce good men we can govern cities; if these are lacking all attempts at reform will react as soon as extra effort ceases. I am against sin and crime in every form and believe every man should follow the course best suited to his abilities and traits for putting such things away. "The sin I am to treat to-night is an old one. and prevails among all classes of people. The uncivilized tribes excel, yet sometimes they are matched by those of higher grade. I have been Interested in a study of this fascinating custom among the Indians and also among the news carriers and in certain forms of so-called business. "It is natural to look for a cause for a habit so universal. We find it in the disposition of man. It is the excessive use of powers and faculties which if held in control minister to his highest success. It is in its last analysis a draft on the future. What is a man without a future? He is no better than the beast. With a future unknown everything becomes contingent or potential. Here is the opportunity for venture and for chance. This is legitimate, but affords the first ground for gambling. GAM B LING DANGEROUS. "It may become a substitute for honest production, and honest exchang-e Is excluded and gain is secured at the expense of others. Some one suffers. Business rests on exchange with compensation for labor. The line between gambling may be clearly found if men are anxious to find It. Gambling Is an injury. It is dangerous to legitimate business, is considered a violation to the best economics and is outlawed by all civilized nations with few exceptions. When men argue in its favor as a business proposition they either are not sincere or do not know the laws of trade. But business is not to be considered when we look upon the ruin the habit brings to individuals and communities. "It is associated with all manner of crime. It is twin brother of drinking. It is not found long separated from stealing. There may be individual exceptions, but they are few. It naturally leads to deceit and crime. It destroys the habits of toil and economy. Let a man win for a time his money by betting, it is difficult for him ever to return to legitimate business. It is ruinous to home life. With its coming In happiness flees. It makes men unreliable in business and not to be trusted. In these days when large trusts are committed to single men it is Important that men should .be free from all suspicion of gambling. The stories told continually of banks breaking and poor widows and working men suffering as the result can nearly always be traced to this habit. "One thing is sure, happiness goes with the habit. A man who b comes a slave to this vice will never, in this excited anil feverish life, find contentment. He is to be pitied. The common end of the profes sional gambler is suicide. FORMING THE HABIT. "But it will be said that all men who gamble do not form the habit and become confirmed. But this is like all habits they are formed by use. This is more like ly to follow then in almost any other wrongdoing. I have studied this subject for many years and cannot account for this fact, yet it is true. "I believe that no habit, not even the drinking of liquors, so completely masters a man and carries him to such extent of daring and is so difficult to break as is this. A man becomes wild under its in fluencc. He will venture all he has. when he knows that his wife and children are to surfer as the result. He will sell him self and his children, yet stop not. "Charles Dicklns, one of the greatest retormers or tne last century, or anv other. devotes his masterpiece of literature to the picturing of the terrible fascinations of this habit. The old grandfather of little iseu would even steal from the innocent child that he might again indulge the passion that had already ruined him and brought his home into ruin Dying, he ureamea or gaining wealth by betting Only one other picture in historv ean oxceed in impressiveness this story of the surrerings or little Nell. It la the one I read from the Gospel of Matthew, when Jesus, the Savior of the world, is dying and men on either side are writhing in awful agony, the Roman soldiers, who were confirmed gamblers. weYe sitting near by gambling over his garments. What a sight tor mortals to behold: is it possih e that any sin can so completely rule a being that he could not be diverted from his practice while the Son of God is dving In sight? And yet this is the case with this most fascinating and most ruinous of all sins 01 men. "Beware, lest It get its hand on you. young mna, and your life is left a wither ing disgrace and the lives of those whom you love are also brought into sadness and ruin. 1 speak a word of warnlns to night. The prevalence of this habit Is terrible. It seems as if it were on the in crease, it is in our business places and winked at. It is In our public school nd at our football games boys are said to win large sums of money, and yet this passes unreniiKea Dy those n authnritv There is no greater danger now before our boys than this one evil. Public sentiment snoum oe aroused, and the temptation re moved as far as possible from our youth.' REFUSED TO ALLOW A TEST. Frank T. lilljreiiieler Arrested at Instance of Inspector Hartley. The first arrest under the new ordinance controlling weights and measures was made yesterday morning, when Frank T. Hllgemeier, keeper of stall No. 60 in the meat department at the East Market, was arrested by Sergeants Giblin and Milam on a warrant sworn out by City Weigher Bartley. Bartley said that he visited the East market Saturday afternoon, inspecting the scales, and found all of them to be In proper shape. When he appeared at the stand kept by Hllgemeler Brothers, F. T. Hilgemeier. who was in charge, refused to allow the scales to be tested. Bartley said he demanded that the scales be shown him, but Hilgemeier refused. Bartley then went to the office of Prosecutor Holmes and had a warrant IsaiM d for Hi'.gemeier's arrest. Bartley said that he intends watching all the scales used In the city market, and where any are found to be out of balance h will Hrst caution the owner, and if the defect is not remedied arrest will follow. It is thought that Hilgemeier submitted to arrest intending to make a test case of the new ordinance. SLAPPED A CHILD. Charge Made Aaralnst John Stone. Who Is I mli r Arrest. John Stone, a resident of Irvington, was arrested yesterday morning by Patrolman Silvey on the charge of cruelly treating his child. The arrest was made on complaint of William A. Joyce, who had a warrant issued for Stone's arrest. It is said that Stone and his wife separated some time ago. At the time of the separation Stone left his wife and five children in destitute circumstances. A few days after he left home. It Is charged. Stone met his thre--year-old son Albert who asked his father to return home. The father, it is alleged. Instead of heeding the suggestion of the child, slapped it several times and called it vile names. The mother was unable to take care of the children and the attention of the Board of Children's Guardians was called. The children were put in the board's home In Irvington. Stone was met by Patrolman Silvey al the home of his brother, about one mile east of Irvlngton.

Next week the committee hopes to conclude the part of its work necessitating visits to the various institutions and it will then devote the remainder of the time before the convening of the Legislature to the compiling of its reports and recommendations. Two of the institutions to which the committee desires to give especial attention have been deferred until the last the Woman's Prison and Girl's Industrial School, in this city, and the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville. At the Deaf and Dumb Institute to-day it is expected that the officials will lay before the committee the question of removing the institution. This question was considered by the Legislature two years ago and it is understood that a bill will be introduced this winter providing for the sale of the East Washington-street grounds and the purchase of a larger and less expensive tract near the city. The reasons given by those who are advocating such a measure are that the present grounds of the Institute are inadequte, that the school has outgrown its present buildings, which are for the most part ramshackle affairs that must soon be replaced, and that if new buildings are erected they should not be placed on the present site because the State will be forced to remove the school within a very few yofl rs. The trustees and superintendent of the institute want more ground available for tillage One cf the best departments of the institution is that in which the boys are instructed In agricultural work and to carry on this instruction to the best advantage there should be plenty of ground for practical work. It is argued that this work cen be made profitable to the State, the school in time becoming largely selfsunnortlna. or at least earning an amount that will cut down the annual expenses! materially. FOR NEW BUILDINGS. The trustees, it is said, will insist that the coming Legislature either give them an appropriation for new buildings or authorize the sale of the grounds and the purchase of a new site where, of course, new buildings will be necessary. They prefer the latter course and argue that the sale of the present grounds, which are very valuable, will yield a sum sufficient to purchase a much larger tract of cheaper ground and to pay a large part of the expense of new buildings. A railroad company is known to be very anxious to purchase a part or all of the East Washington-street property and wojld make the State an advantageous offtr. The recommendations of the committee In this matter cannot be forecasted, but it is understood that at least two members favor the removal of the Institute. It is not anticipated that the committee will be met at Knightstown with any requests tot large appropriations for the Orphans' Home. The home is said to be in good condition and meding little In the way of improvements. Last session it asked for an ornamental iron fence to Inclose the grounds and the request was turned down by the Legislature. This request may be renewed this year. The officials of the asylum at Richmond have been having some difficulty with the sewerage system and they may ask the Legislature for an appropriation for a new system. The sewage from the asylum at present empties into a small stream and there has been considerable complaint from property owners in the vicinity. At Logansport the asylum is in good condition and little is needed in betterments. No requests for special appropriations are expected from that quarter. The School for Feeble-minded Youths at Fort Wayne may come forward with requests for some special consideration at the hands of the legislature. Two years ago a bill was passed providing for the admission of feeble-minded women between the ages of sixteen and forty-five at the institution. Forty thousand dollars was appropriated to carry out the provisions of the bill and further funds for this purpose may be needed by the school. GOVERNOR'S PARTY HOME. All Questions About Dock Huntlns; Dlplomaticall v Parrleil. "Ducks?" echoed Governor Durbin in a tone that indicated that he was trying to recall where he had heard that word before. "Ducks? Oh. there are lots of them down there or somewhere. We didn't

alsf ii Original Flaked Food. malted wheat flakes. bring them back with us." And then the Governor laughed. The Governor was at the Union Station a few minutes after 12 o'clock this morning, just returning from his hunting trip down near Brownsville, Tex., when he was asked concerning the luck that had attended the party. His noncommittal reply was evidence that the sport had not been extremely exciting. With him were Attorney General W. L. Taylor, former Senator L. P. Newby, of Knightstown, E. H. Tripp and Raymond P. Van Camp. All the members of the party were very tired as a result of the long trip hörne and they were anxious to get a good night's rest. Attorney General Taylor said that they had had a very pleasant trip, although the weather had not been the most desirable and the hunting not quite so fruitful as they had anticipated. DR. C. L FLETCHER S LECTURE. Talked at German House on "A Summer's Trip Through England." Dr. C. L Fletcher lectured last night to a large audience in the German House on "A Summer's Trip through England." His lecture was illustrated by 200 stereopticon views from photographs taken while on his trip. Dr. Fletcher began his lecture by explaining that in order to get close to the people and study their national characteristics his journey over the British islands was taken for the most part on foot, although 2,800 miles were covered In rail ways and 'busses in making long jour neys. From larger centers the tourist walked for miles in unbeaten paths, where he saw many sights to be found in Eng land, rarsly If ever seen by American trav elers who "do England" in a short time, and seemingly with the intention of getting over with the job. He described many of his experiences with the native Britisher. His peculiarities and actions about the public houses and Inns, his fondness for alf and alf, and his proverbial spirt or independence and desire to see fair play were explained by Dr. Fletcher in personal experiences. One of the first pictures shown by Dr. Fletcher was a view of Haddon Hall, the name familiar to Indiana people who have recently read Mr. Major's book. This castle was shown In several views, and one showed the promenade on which Dorothy Vernon took her daily walks. Other pictures were of wayside inns familiar to the readers of Dickens's works, and others of familiar towns and places in the 8hak8pearean region of England. Dr. Fletcher described the topographv of the country and the various phases of English country life In comparison with the farming regions of the middle States. He said that he might appear to be too enthusiastic over England, but he Intended not to be. England, Germany and the United States, Dr. Fletcher said, are In his mind the greatest countries of the world, and should stand together as brothers, proud of each other's greatness and assisting one another inhours of need. Mrs. Emmons, saved from an operation for Ovaritis, tells how she was cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound " I am so pleased with the results I obtained from Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable Con pound that I feel it a duty and a privilege to write you about it. 11 1 suffered for over fire years with ovarian troubles, causing an unpleasant discharge, a great weakness, and at times a faintness would come over me which no amount of medicine, diet, or exercise seemed to correct. Your Vegetable Compound found the weak spot, however, within a few weeks and saved me from an operation all my troubles had disappeared, and I found myself once more healthy and well. Words fail to describe the real, true grateful feeling that is in my heart, and I a n t to tell every sick and suffering sister. Don't dally with medicines you know nothing about, but take Lydia K.
