New York is to have a school to instruct office boys in their duties. The curriculum will not Include a course in whistling of the popular ragtime melodies to a maddening extent. Such a course is totally unnecessary. “Woman’s place at the University of Berlin,” says the Tageblatt of that city, “has already become an important one, although her rights have not Wi aure entered at the largest high school last summer and 753 attended ; the winter session. Degrees were conferred on 12; 10 in medicine and 2 In philosophy.” Last year young Mr. Astor was given an automobile by his indulgent father because he was not at the foot of his class.

IMETCALF STEPS OUT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY WILL LEAVE CABINET DECEMBER 1. LONG ILLNESS THE CAUSE President Accepts Resignation with Regret—Truman H. Newberry of Michigan Will Be Appointed to Fill Vacancy. Washington.—Secretary of the Navy Victor H. Metcalf Friday tendered his resignation to the president to take effect December 1 on account of ill health. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Truman H. Newberry will be named as Mr. Metcalf’s successor. For more than a year the fact that Mr. Metcalf had suffered serious illness has been well known at the navy department. Formerly of vigorous health, his friends expected that he would be able to regain his strength, but constantly recurring illness convinced him that the only course for him to pursue was to sever his connection with all active work. Too 111 to Perform His Duties. Mr. Metcalf has suffered from a nervous breakdown that has rendered it impossible for him to remain at his desk for any length of time, and the chronic nature of his trouble has caused him to abandon hope of recovery while burdened with the cares of office. On April 15 last, he went to California and to review the Atlantic battleship fleet. He took a long vacation, hoping to be permanently benefited thereby, returning here September 1. Upon his resumption of official duty, his illness promptly recurred and he frankly told the president that he could not remain in the cabinet. Mr. Metcalf was thoroughly versed in naval matters, having served on the house committee on naval affairs while in congress. His first appointment under this administration was as secretary of commerce and labor, which he relinquished in order to accept the duties of secretary of the navy on December 17, 1906. Praise from the President. The president’s letter accepting the resignation was as follows: “My dear Mr. Metcalf: I accept your resignation Wi^hreal reluctance, and only because youm?me that it is imperative that you must go on account of the state of your health. I IVW 'jOW V had earnestly hoped that you would be able to continue with me throughout my term. I thank you warmly for your faithful and efficient service in both of the departments, at the head of which you have served under me. But, my dear Mr. Metcalf, you have always been more than the head of a department; you have been a cabinet minister upon whose aid and advice, and above all, on whose staunch and steadfast loyalty I could rely upon any and all occasions. No president could wish more loyal and hearty support. than you have given me. I thank yon for it. I shall miss you when you leave the cabinet, and I wish you well in whatever work you may undertake and wherever your life may lead. “With regret, therefore, I accept your resignation to take effect upon the first of December.” Newberry Good Man for Place. Mr. Newberry had never filled any important public office prior to his appointment as assistant secretary of the navy November 1. 1905. Before that he was in business in Detroit, Mich. The intelligent interest he has displayed in connection with his post has caused much favorable comment. Mr. Newberry has entered into the spirit of naval improvement and has co-operated, whenever possible, in the development of naval matters. He will have an opportunity to use his personal prestige with the naval affairs committees of both houses in securing desired naval legislation. Cubans Elect Gen. Gomez. Havana. —Practically complete returns of the election show that the liberal victory was even more decisive than was supposed Saturday night. Gen.

DOWAGER EMPRESS DEAO | CHINA'S REAL RULER FOLLOWS EMPEROR TO GRAVE. Prince Pu-Yi, Three Years Old, Placed on Throne of the Flowery Kingdom. Peking.—Tsze Hsi An, the dowager empress of China, the autocratic head of the government, which she had directed without successful interference since 1861, and without protest since 1881, died at two o'clock Sunday afternoon. The announcement of the dowager empress' death was official and fol- | lowed closely upon the announcement ' that Kuang-Hsu, the emperor, had died ' Saturday at five o’clock in the after- j noon, but it is believed that the | deaths of both the emperor and the ■ dowager empress occurred a consider- ■ able time before that set down in the official statements. An edict issued at eight o'clock Sunday morning placed upon the throne Prince Pu-Yi, the three-year-old sun of Prince Chun, the regent of the empire, in accordance with a promise given by the dowager empress soon after the marriage of Prince Chun in 1903. An edict issued on Friday made Pu-Yl heir presumptive. The foreign legations were notified by the foreign board of the death of the emperor and the succession of Prince Pu-Yio. Troops have been in readiness for several days to quell any disorders that might arise on the death of Kuang-Hsu, and the possibility of uprisings was made greater be- j cause of the fact that the death of the dowager empress was known to bo ' close at hand. Two divisions of ’ troops have been held in reserve, and ! these are now stationed in various quarters of the city. Twenty gend- | arines were dispatched to guard the I approaches to the legations, but up to ! the present the duties of the forces । have been slight. It was announced that the legation guard was ordered out at “the special call of the lega- i tions on account of the emperor's death.” Prince Chun, the regent, has ordered the viceroys and governors to take precautions for the continuation of the administration of the provinces as heretofore, and he has ordered a hundred days of mourning. The court will go into mourning for three years, Peking already has been greatly transformed; all red objects have be&n removed and blue susbstituted. The people learned Sunday evening of the death of the dowager empress, and although the Chinese are in nowise emotional, they showed that they were profoundly impressed by the passing of their powerful ruler. The foreigners in the city are watching the strange ceremonies with great interest. HIRES MEN TO KILL HER MOTHER | Cold-Blooded Plot of Chicago Woman Is Exposed. Chicago. — Plotting matricide In the most cold-blooded manner, order to obtain $7,300, May L. iPJfI mrrtjiiK lift J"""u Jii would see their fulfillment, then wa^ arrested by the men she believed her > fellow conspirators. She was to point her mother out to the man she had hired to commit the crime, that he might make no mistake. She had paid over SIOO cash and signed a note for $2,400 to procure the commission of the crime. She had outlined in detail how her mother was to be done to death and had warned him that she wanted a “good job” and did not waht it to be "any ambulance case.” All her planning was due to the fact that her mother, in a recent will, I had made Miss Otis her sole heir. The woman's supposed fellow conspirators were the head of a private detective agency and two city detectives. Special Session for Tariff. Washington.—That a special session of the Sixty-first congress will be called soon after the fourth of March to take up the matter of tariff revision became known positively Sunday, when William H. Taft, president-elect, after spending a 'day at the White House as a guest of President Roosevelt, stated that he intended to call a special session to meet as soon after his inaguration as would be reasonable. Judge Taft left at 7:05 o'clock Sunday night for Cincinnati, where he had been summoned on matters of family importance. Hundreds Die in a Min.e. Hamm, Westphalia, Germany, Nov. 13.—The greatest mine disaster in many years in Germany occurred Thursday morning at the Radbod mine, about three miles from this place.

BLOODY BATTLE IN OKLAHOMA. Four Men Are Murdered by Negro Desperado. Okmulgee, Okla.—Five persons were killed and ten others wounded Sunday afternoon in a fight between Jim Deckard, a negro desperado, and law officers. The dead: Edgar Robinson, sheriff of Okmulgee county; Henry Klaber, assistant chief of police of Okmulgee; two negroes named Chapman, brothers; Jim Deckard, negro. The disturbances began at the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad station where Jim Deckard engaged in a fight with an Indian boy, Steve Grayson, and beat him into insensibility with a rock. Friends of Grayson notified the police and when Policeman Klaber went to the station Deckard fled to his house nearby, barricaded himself in and when Klaber approached Deckard shot ami Instantly killed him. Sheriff Robinson gathered a posse in a few minutes and hurried to the scene. Part of this posse was made up of a group of negroes, whom the sheriff commissioned as deputies. As the posse approached the house i Deckard opened fire with a rifle, firing i as rapidly as he could load his ; weapon. The sheriff fell first, instantly killed. Then two of the negro deputies were slain. Deckard's house was soon sur- j rounded by a frenzied mob of armed ' men. Fire was set to a house just i north of Deckard's. Volleys were , poured into Deckard's house and he was shot down. He was seen to roll over on the floor, strike a match and set fire to his own house, which was soon a roaring furnace in which his i body was baked. Gov. Haskell at Guthrie was notified of the battle and of the had feeling between whites and negroes that had j grown out of it and threatened a race । riot. The governor at once ordered the militia company at Muskogee to prepare to go to Okmulgee and a special train was made ready to carry the troops, the governor, remaining at his office to keep in touch with the situation. News of the preparation to send i militia here had a good effect on the disorderly element of both races. NO ENGAGEMENT—ELKINS. Senator Denies His Daughter and Abruzzi Are Betrothed. Washington.—Senator Stephen B. Elkins Sunday night made the emphatic announcement that no engagement exists between his daughter, Miss Katherine Elkins, and the Duke d'Abruzzi. The statement was made with the knowledge and consent of Miss Elkins, who desired that it should be 1 given to the public which has manifested so great an interest in the matter. The statement follows: “I do not care to say anything further than that my daughter and the Duke d’Abruzzi are not engaged to be married, and that I regret exceedingly the annoyance that must have come ; to the duke and his family by reason s of the almost daily discussion of the matter in the press and the constant ; publication of rumors for so long a time, rumors which I venture to hope will now nea.se.” New Head for Wesleyan.

STATE’S B ID LETTERS FROM MRS. GUNNESS IN LAPORTE TRIAL. NAME “CRAZY LAMPHERE” Farmers Testify to Hearing Defendant Tell of Seeing the Farm House Burning Down. > Laporte.—Prosecutor Smith played another trump card Monday when, with A. K. Helgelein of Aberdeen, S. D., on the stand, he offered in evidence and read to the jury copies of three letters written by Mrs. Belle Gunness to him during March , and April, this year, in which references to “that crazy Lamphere” are made. These letters portray the methods employed by the arch-murderess in allaying the suspicions of the relatives of persons she had murdered. Even with Andrew Helgelein lying dismembered in her private burying ground, i she was asking his brother to come to Laporte to investigate and bring plenty of money with him. That she had designs on his life, too, is confi- । dently believed by that man. The state made excellent progress during the day. Commencing with the testimony of Mrs. Flynn that the rings on Mrs. Gunness' fingers were so tight and her fingers so fat that to have l gotten them off would have required filing, to the testimony of the farmers who talked with Lamphere on the morning of the fire and whom he told of the fire he saw at the Gunness house, the state kept at it all day, introducing evidence to show the motive for the crime and then, having established that, to lay the foundation for the real story of the fire.

Lefens, real estate dealer and owner of down town realty, an intimate friend of Van Vlissingen, : caused his arrest. "1 may have made $1,000,000 by forgery, said Van Vlissingen, “but most of that was spent in trying to cover up the forgeries already comi mitted. The forgeries covered a ' period of 18 years. I was kept in trouble all the time committing new forgeries to cover up the old ones.. • There is nothing left.” HOT AFTER STAMP ROBBERS. Two Arrests Reported Made in the South Bend Case.
