OLDEST ADMIRAL IS : NINETY-FOUR TO-DAY PSR I 1D P SO DU S D D S S SO A A S SO Dy © e S gnCan o CECRL SEOR SO Sace R R © © ! REAR ADMIRAL THOMAS 0. SELFRIDGE, U. S.N. L R R O R R R S e @—0—‘ ASHINGTON, April 23.—Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge Sr., U. 8. N, retired, will celebrate his 94th birthday to-morrow. He was born in Massachusetts, appointed to the navy from that State on January 1, 1818, at the age of 12 years 9 months, and has now been eighty-one years three months and twenty-three days in the service. Dur- ing his earlier days he made some vo: s in merchant vessels, as our navy was considerably reduced in ships for many years after the war of 1812, and there was but scant employment for the officers. He took an active part in the Mexican War and was severely wounded in the treach- erous attack by the Mexicans at Gugamas, necessitating his return to the East. When the Rebellion broke out Commodore Selfridge was too far advanced in years to accept active duty at sea, and he was assigned as Commandant of the Mare Island Navy Yard 1862-4 and again in 1873. In the latter year all retired officers were withdrawn from active service, and he has ever since resided at Georgetown, D. C, but for many years has paid an annual visit to San Francisco, where he has two sons residing. R¢-r Admiral Selfridge is probably the oldest living officer of that rank in any navy in the world, and there is no navy which has two Ad- mirals, father and son, both retired. Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge Jr. was born February 6, 1836, joined the navy at the age of 15 and retired last year. The second eldest son is Commander James Russell Selfridge, born July 11, 1849, and in the navy since 1864. He is likely to become a Rear Admiral in about ten years. The father of the navy and the senior Rear Admiral enjoys good health, due in a large measure to his simple mode of ife and correct habits. He is mentally & 'tive as he was thirty years ago, and takes a lively in- terest in the affairs of that navy with whose fortunes, rise and progress the old sea veteran has been prominently identified. ¢ ' + + : ' + Meek Jr. The report of the treasurer, George C, B !1,4;\;1;. gnows cash JFecelpts of 30,140, of C | which $66,09 set down to the credit o M.

CELEBRATION ON MAY 8 MEMORY OF THE GIRL SAINT TO | BE HONORED. Diplomatic Circles Interested in the | Differences Between Italy and the Vatican as to the Peace Congress. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, April 23.—The presence of Archbishop Ireland in Eu- rope ‘'t this time led to the efforts among leading members of the diplo- matic corps here to have the eminent American divine preside at some not- able church occasion. As a result, it | is learned that the Archbishop will de- liver the principal discourse at the Joan of Arc celebration on May 8 at the old French town of Orleans, which | save the name of the “Maid of Or- ieans” to the girl saint and soldier. The exercises will have both a re-| liglous and a national character, bring- | ing pilgrimages from all parts of Eu- rope and laving the special benedic- | tion of the Pope. | It was thought at first Archbishop | Ireland would take this occasion to correct the misapprehensions which | have arisen through FEurope as to ‘‘Americanism,” as set forth in Father Hecker’s book. The errors on this sub- ject are ascribed mainly to the mis- translation of the book by a French abbe, so that it was felt to be appro- priate that the correction and elucida- tion of true ‘“Americanism” should be made on this memorable church and national occasion. Quite recently, however, the leading church author ties in this country have made known that Archbishop Ireland’s discourse would be confined strictly to religious | themes, dealing with the inspired char- | acter of Joan of Arc. While this may not give the discourse the significance at first expected, yet the belief is ex- pressed L7 those familiar with the ar- rangements that the fervor and pa- triotic impulses of Archbishop Ireland may lead to some discussion of the American theme which has been so prominent in church affairs of late and in which he has been one of the for most figures. Catholic church affairs also have been attracting the attention of diplo- mati: circles of late, in connection with the attitudc of Italy in refusing to take part in the Czar's disarma- ment congress if the Pope also was to take part. Lecause of this controversy | the invitations issued by the Govern- ment at The Hague were delayed some weeks, and, in consequence, the Bri ish Foreign Office withheld the official | announcement of Sir Julian Paunce- fote's selection one of the British delegates. The State Department also | was in the samc quandary until the controversy was adjusted. As ex plained by a leading diplomatic official, the position of Italy was similar to that tal.n wh-n the temporal power of the .Pope was denied and finally overthrown. In opposing the Pope's representat'on at The Hague, Italy held that the sole authority of the | Vatican related to moral and social af- fairs and not material or political questions between nations. In behalf of the Pope it was urged that Ttaly already recognized the ma- terial and political authority of the Pope by admitting the appointment of Embassadors to the Vatican from France, Spain, Bulgaria, Portugal and | some other countries. Pending the settlement of Italy’s ob- jections, there was much perplexing | delay in arranging the details of the congress. It was finally determined that the Pope should not be represent- | ed, this “oeision, it is understood, be- ing acquiescc In by the Vatican. Since then thare have been intimations that the French delegates to The Haeue would indirectly represent the | Vatican, but it Is said in the best posted diplomatic quarters that this | surm’~- {8 wholly unwarranted. MRS. ANNA BOND’S HANDY UMBRELLA She Uses It Vigorously on Her Form- er Husband and Her + Sister. SAN RAFAEL, April 2.—Dr. Freder- ick T. Bond, the metropolitan physician, and his sister-in-law, Miss Emma Nich- ols, who lives with her mother at 170 Shipley street, were savagely assaulted on the corner of Fourth and B streets to-day by the physician’s divorced wife, Mrs. Anna Bond, who was armed with an umbrella. She accused him of having kidnaped her child and kept it away from her, and sald her sister was the cause of all the domestic troutle she had undergone. The woman was arrested on a charge of battery and released on her own recognizance by Recorder Gardner. The troubles of the Bonds were aired in Judge Troutt’s court in San Francisco last October, the husband suing his wife for a divorce on the zround of cruelty. He was allowed the custody of their lttle girl, with the understanding that the mother might visit the child as often as she saw fit. Since then the little one has been with the parents of Dr. Bond in Vallejo. » Mrs. Bond met her husband and sister on the street In San Francisco to-day, and, thinking they would go to Vallejo, followed them here. She asked on the train_that her child be returned to her and received an evasive answer. When the two reached town Mrs. Bond stopped them and began to abuse them. She call- ed her husband a villain, and her sister was referred to in uncomplimenary terms. Her language was resented, and she be- gan to belabor them with her umbrella, COLONEL CLARK’'S FUNERAL.

Lewis Clark, the widely known turfman who committed suicide yesterday, were taken to Louis- ville to-night by sorrowing friends. The party will arrive at its destination at an early hour to-morrow morning, and it is understood a public funeral will occur in_that city shortly hefore noon. J. P. C. Clark of Chicago, son of dead man; C. T. Ballard of Louisville, a cousin, and Charles F.

NEW YORK, April 23.—A Canton, 0., special to the Herald says: “Should the jury render a verdiet | against me I will never go to lhp pen- itentiary. I will accept suicide as a last means of escaping the persecution that has been mine for ten years.” Such is the declaration said to have been made by Mrs. Annie E. George, whose trial for the murder of George D. Saxton is now drawing to a close. Iy informant is Mrs. Streeter, who has supported Mrs. George during the last three weeks as if she were her sis- ter, and it was to Mrs. Streeter the “and I believe she would prefer death | the penitentiary to follow it. At times is greatly depressed. She feels that | Judge Taylor has been fair in all hi rulings, and should the jury convict her she would have little hope of relief from an appeal. She has told me sev- | al times she would kill herself if would not blame her.” Sheriff Zaiser does not believe Mrs. George will make good her promise o self-destruction in the event of defeat in court, but he told me to-day he would take no chances, and if the woman were convicted she would be placed under close surveillance while she was in his charge.
