Admiral Schley is not popular with the government and those who up- hold him and show their belief in him are made to suffer for it. bh fact that Gen, Miles is not in favor with the government either, and this is but another public testimonial of that will understand is an unfortunate — fact: ‘Phot Miles is not in favor is probably because he has committed the crime of being placed in com- mand of the army without having been at West Point.” “ds it your belief that the rebuke of Seeretary Root willmake Gen, Miles’ position untenable—oblige him, as @ high-spirited man, to resign?” was asked, “No. no? said Gen.

Shot Himself Dead Because His Little Friend Was Drowned. Middlesboro, Ky., Dee, 25.—Char- d about 30, and little Jessie Marion went out for a sleigh }les Preston, ag ride on Powell river across the Cum- s to-night. Pres- (ton had been a friend of the Marion family for many years and felta keen lelight in entertaining the daughter, who was the pride of her mother’s heart and the idol of herfather. Pres- ton promised the parents of the girl to return with her at a stated hour, and when they failed to put in their appearance the household became alarmed, but faithin the man’s ability to takecare of himself as well as their daughter the anxious parents hoped and pray- ed for the safety of both, Not until Preston came back without their child did their worst fears surge in their breasts, and when he related that their daughter was no more they were frantic with grief, After announcing to them thedeath of the girl Preston related the mourn- ful details, He then fired a bullet in his brain and died, According to Preston's story, he had driven too far out on the frozen river with his horse and sleigh. The ice was thinner than he thought, and when he heard a crack he said he knew they were in danger. In less time than it takes to tell it he tried to turn his horse toward shore, but it was too late. In the twinkling of an eye the ice was giving away. Preston leaped out and turn- ed to snatch the girl from the sleigh, but it had already overturned and been engulfed in the water, and little Jessie was drowned, berland mount i« somewhat renewing Preston's grief was equally keen as that suffered by his listeners, and in a moment of temporary aberration he ended his own life in their presence by shooting himself through the head.

Birmingham, Ala, December 26,— Ina general fight between white men and negroes at Childersburg, yester- day afternoon, a white man and his son were killed, while a white boy and killed. With great difficulty a general outbreak was prevented. The negroes are now in jailat Talladega. The dead are: J. Bird, middle aged white man: Reu- ben Bird, his son, aged 15 years. The Twounded: Tom Holley, a negro, probably fatally; George Bird, white, one negro were the full title of the old and peculiar hermit who was found dying in his home in Mohawk street last week, and who is now dead in the city hos- pital. Barnes was 60 years old, and came from nobody knows where. He had lived in Utiea for 42 years, and was one of the strangest citizens Utica has ever known, He never married, lived alone, believed that fresh air is the only proper treatment for illness, and his dies was fruit and cold water, like that of Rider Hag- gard’s ‘‘She.”’ He had a religion of his own, and built himself a chureh at one end of hisyard. He called it the Christadel- phian chureh, and he went there twice every Sunday, preached a ser- mon to himself, sang his own hymns and-worshipped devoutly. ‘The only belief of his chureh was that Christ would visit the earth again, and Bar- nes believed his coming was fixed for 1902, T the summer he slept on the roof of his house in a box-like structure hehad put there for the purpose, and he went about barefooted when he was ailing, sometimes in the depth of winter, He waseun expert swimmer, and took long swims, lasting two and three hours, daily, all the year round, either in the canal or the river. His appearance was unkempt, but he was scrupulously clean. He spent his time reading and exercising, and was reputed to be wealthy, although no money nor will has been found, He had no relatives. City Marshal Slain. Boonville, Mo., December 25.—Ed. Middleton, marshal of New Franklin, was shot and killed by Walter Lee in front of Davis Bros.’ livery stables at that-place at 10:30 Tast night.

Reuben Bird went to his father, who was dying, and was ordered by George Woods, a negro, to run. _ The boy begged to remain by his father, but on failure to move, was shot dead. Charner Woods, father of George Woods, then shot theelder Bird again. George Bird was shot in the legs while escaping. A large crowd of whites quickly gathered, and surrounding the negroes, captured them all and took ,them to Talla- dega. For awhile it seemed as if a race riot would result, but the quick ac- tion of conservative citizens prevent- ed an outbreak President Roosevelt lays particu- lar stress upon our love of peace and our desire to be at peace with the world, It will shock him to read the latest treasury bulletin and learn that the expenditures of the war de- partment for the present fiscal year exceed by more than three millions the civil and miscellaneous expendi- tures.

Lee, of New Franklin, and is prominently con- nected. He is about 21 years old. The murdered man was 32 years old, single, and was elected to the office of marshal of New Franklin last April. He had but one arm and was a former M., K. and T. railway con- ductor. Mayor Combe is Confident. St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 26.—“I am sure John Albus will be appointed postmaster at St. Joseph,” said Mayor Combe, upon his return from Washington to-day, where he ‘has been for a month laboring in the in- terest of the Hitchcock-Akins candi- date. The mayor belieyes the ap- poiatment will be made shortly, pos- sibly before congress reassembles. He says the Kerens crowd suggested all kinds of compromises, but they were all refused. He placed the mat- ter squarely before the president. and informed him that Albus’s supporters knew no such word as compromise. The civil service commission has announced, through President Proc- tor, that the discharge of Edgar 8.

Brvan’s Severe Arraignment of the Philippine Tariff Bill Passed by the House. Shameless Legislation. Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 27.—The recent passage of the Philippine tariff bill by the Republicans in the house of representatives calls forth strong criticism from William J. Bryan in this week’s issue of the Commoner, He says: “The Philippines tariff measure has passed the house of representatives practically by a party vote. It is one of the most shameless pieces of legislationever proposed by any par- ty and it ought to seal the political fate of every man who supports it. England, in her oppression. of the American colonies, was never guilty of anything more tyrannical, and even Spain, whose despotism aroused our country to armed protest in be- half of Cuba—even Spain lucked the refined cruelty which Republican leaders practiced with seeming enjoy- ment, “While the West Indies were under the rule of the Castilian they enjoyed free trade with the mother country and had representation in the impe- rial parliament, but the Filipinos, after co-operating with us against Spain, were bought like chattels from a vanquished foe and placed under the control of high-priced carpet-bag officials. Now they are to be shut out of commercial intercourse with the United States by a high tariff wall constructed to enable a few American manufacturers to grow rich) at the expense of the rest of the peo- ple and denied representation in the legislature which taxes them. “The Democrats in the house of strengthened their party by their vigorous opposition to the measure. The short tinie given for debate in the house makes it imperative that the Democrats of the senate shall present to the publie through the Congressional Record the facts rela- tive to colonialism as thus far devel- oped. Preacher Under Arrest. Burlington, la., Dee. 25.—Rev. W. H. Mlif} an evangelist whose home is in Hamilton, Ill, is under arrest on the extraordinary charge of deliber- ately defacing some handsome pas- senger coaches of the Burlington route in this city. Mr. Tllif was seen by the depot master going along the platiorm with a pocket knife splitting off the edges of the panels along the sides of the coaches,_He-was-atonce: arrested and placed-in-the lockup. He readily gave his nameand address with the car-cutting. In his valise was found a quart bottle containing a small amount of whisky. He said the liquor was for his sick wife. Strong proof that if is guilty isfur- nished by the fact that one car bears his name cut in large knife strokes. The news of Illif's arrest was tele- graphed te Hamilton and caused the greatest sensation where the evange- list is well known and respected. A keokuk bank telegraphed the authori- ties here that Lilif was perfectly good and they would go his bonds for any amount. The railway company states that it will cost fully $200 to repair the cars. Senator Teller Indignant. Washington, Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, to-day dictated the following statement con- cerning the rebuke of the war depart- ment to Gen. Miles: “I think the whole proceeding from the commencement to the present time and the attack on Admiral Schley, has been most disgraceful on the part of the navy«department. When Gen. Miles simply says that he is in accord with Admiral Dewey, the war department calls him to account and delivers a severe reprimand, a reprimand that couched, .as it is, I do not hesitate to characterize as in- decent. The American people will pay no attention to the decision of the ma- jority of the court. They will be sat- isfied with the opinion of Admiral Dewey, for they know that he isa better judge of good naval conduct than either secretary of the navy or his edmirals,” ! ine pind you Have Kays Bought | jute Bue i.
