WASHINGTON, March 26.—The House entered upon the consideration of the army appropriation bill, but the debate was without exciting incident, being con- fined to the discussion of army matters. Chairman Hull, in charge of the bill, ex- plained its provisions. Jett of Illinois criti d the policy of rushing officers through the high grades of the army J prior to retirement. Cox of Tennessee and Ridgeley of Kansas opposed generally a permanent increase of the army as pre- judicial to the best interests of the coun- try and Meyer of Loulsiana discussed the Philippine policy, opposing the retention of the islands. Cox of Tennessee introduced the Philip- pine question into the debate, criticiz- ing the policy of the administration in using the army to put down the insur- rection there and announcing that if he could have his way not one dollar should be voted to subjugate the Filipinos. The soldiers serving In the Philippines he ac- itted of all blame. They were doing their duty and deserved well of their country. The fauit lay with those w had inaugurated the unholy war.

CINCINNATI, March 26.—Rabbl Isaae M. Wise, probably the most distinguished rabbl in the Reformed Jewish Church, died this evening at 6 o’'clock of a stroke of paralysis, which made its first appear- ance last Saturday evening. Dr. Wise was born in Steingrub, Bo- hemia, April 3, 1819. He was educated at Prague University and aduated at a Hebrew theolu{lclfl colle‘:e. He _spent some time at Vienna in study. In 1846 he came to Albany, N. ., and took charge of a congregation. It was this congregation that made the first reform movement in Judaism in America. Dr. Wise led the reformers and the congre- gation diyided. For some time the doctor engaged in various occupations, part of the time li- brarian in Albany and in other occupa- tions, until 1854, when he started the pub- ication of the American Israelite and Die Beborah, in which he continued as editor until his death. Dr. Wise was a very public-spirited citizen. He always took gredt interest in educational matters and for many years was an active trustee of Cincinnati University. e was the resident and the founder of the Hebrew Tnion Colle%e and was also the organ- SLUGS OF OAKLAND Nickle-in-the-Slot Machine QP9+ 00-0+0+0+060000+0+002000000-00+0¢0 154505 456D 4SO S0+ GO 40+ DED 4D+ 94D 4D +040 20400 04040 @ AKLAND, March 2.—The market raked from one end to the other for slugs ( ) in Oakland is bov . and | found that its supply of telephone checks if Councliman Girard staye I the | %8 running short the postoffice ran out |a sudden demand for all of their waste cents. | chips. boxes with nickel-in-the-slot attachments. | to and he placed one of them {n an Oakland prietor for dividing the receipts, the major portion going to the Councilman.

McClure Jr., the business of which, ac- | xpteiaan Rabbis met i . conven- cording to the confession of the cashler, has been supported wholly or in part by the funds of the bank. ussey’s pecula- tlons began six years ago, and were so well covered u{) that the national bank ex- aminer was deceived by the cashier up to only a few months ago, the entire de- ficit being made to appear good through a large number of forged notes which Mussey inserted. The inevitable day arrived last Satur- day, when Mussey was called before the board and asked for the bank's assets. Mussey put on a bold face and at once of- fered to go across the street to the safe deposit vaults for the securities. The di- rectors waited an hour for him and then sent for a-detective. The cashier went from the bank to his house, where he took a few hundred dol- lars and left the city. The detectives caught up with him yesterday in Albany and persuaded him to return without ex- tradition papers. Late this afternoon Bank Examiner D. D. Muir was appointed temporary receiver of the bank. The closing of McClure's music store accounted for part of Mussey’s shortage, but it is generally admitted here that the store has been run on far less than $145,- 000 during the past six years. Many per- sons found themselves unable to recon- cile Mussey’s statement that the money had gone into the business, the volume of whiel was known. Explanations are looked for within a few days. KEENE, N. H., March 26.—The Bank Commissioners for New Hampshire have filed a petition with the Clerk of the Cheshire County Supreme Court, asking that an_assignee be appointed for the Keene Guaranty Savings Bank of this city, and a petition of the same nature for the Keene Five Cents Savings Bank. The finances of both these Institutions have been considered uncertain for some time, and neither bank has reveived ce- posits of late, owing to a general belief that they had sustained losses through tion at Boston. Dr. Wise was president of this conference, an office which his death makes vacant. As a special mark of honor to Rabbi Wise this conference met at Cincinnati last yvear on his eight- jeth birthday instead of at Boston.

VICTORIA, B. C., March 26.—The steamer Danube brings news of the ar- rival at Skaguay of probably the last travelers who will come from Nome this winter. McRae and Nagel, who were dep- utized to carry to San Francisco the re- rt of the engineer on the rallway to be mllt from Port Safety to Cape York, came up the river in 46 days with a single team o¥ dogs. TheY say the winter has been unprecedentedly mild at Nome, that all necessaries of Iife are plentiful and cheap there and the streams in all directions are ronpectlnf we'l. The discoveries on erlm‘r [de are being left alone, as it has been given out that foreign miners will not be permitted there.

NEW YORK, March 26.—A dispatch to the London Dafly News from Berlin says that a story of a quarrel, which may pos- #ibly end in the resignation of Prince von Radolin, German Embassador to Russia, comes from St. Petersburg. The story Is that at the last ball of the season, In the pavilion hall of the Hermitage, Grand Duke Viadimir was about to take a lady to supper when he was told that it had been arranged that she should be taken in by a member of the German embassy. The Grand Duke thereupon humorously assured the lady that there was nothing slower than a German diplomat. The remark was made loudly and jovi- ally and was repeated about the room. It finally reached Prince von Radolin in a distorted form and he took the incom- rehensible step of complaining to Grand uke Vladimir's wife, who is a Princess of Mecklenburg, concerning her husband’s joke. Prince von Radolin received a re- buff, whereupon he informed Count Mura- vieff, the Russlan Minister of Foreign Affairs, who tried to adjust the trouble. He requested the Embassador to apolo- gize to Grand Duchess Marie, Viadimir's wife, who apparentl: very angry with Prince von Radolin. The Grand Duchess refused to accept an llmlo{y, and_declared that she did not wish to see Prince von Radolin again, adding that she intended to.avoid all so- clety where he would be present. It is generally presumed in court circles that the Embassador will soon leave. The German Forelgn Office has caused an inspired paragraph to be printed declar- ing that rumors of Prince von Radolin’s resignation are utterly unfounded. The correspondent admits that the story needs confirmation. ——— BRITISH WARSHIPS ORDERED TO TAKU SHANGHAI, March 26.—The British second-class cruiser Hermione has been ordered to proceed immediately to Taku.

Glib of Tongue, He Plied His Voca- tion in All the Large Cities and “No Favorites” Was His Motto. PSS Bdward Grimmell, the forger of checks on the United States medical disbursing department, was subjected to the sweat- ing process yesterday by United States Secret Service Inspector Hazen in the Appraiser’s building, and practically re- peated the confe.sion of his gullt he had made to the Federal officials in the East. This morning Assistant United States At- torney Banning will ask Judge de Haven for the appointment of a new Federal Grand Jury and Grimmell's case will be laid before them. Grimmell's career of crime is a long one and commenced when he was an un- dergraduate at Washington, D. C., where he was convicted of fraud and sentenced to the penitentiary for three years. On his release from prison he came to San Francisco, enlisted in the army and went to the Philippines. On account of his knowledge of drugs he was given a good position in the hospital service and on his return to San Francisco secured em- ployment in the medical supply depart- ment. His money melted rapidly in an endeavor to win a stake at the Ingleside races and to make good his losses he did what many other trusted employes have done before him, committed crimes and after gettigg beyond hope of recovery de- faulted. ‘When the police were looking for Grim- mell in British Columbia he was forging checks in Eastern cities. At Chicago he victimized his father's friend and forged his name to a check which was honored and then he skipped to new fields. hundred dollars were added to the swind- ler’s funds in Cleveland, where with the ever-ready pen he forged the indorsement of a collegeé professor to a worthless cifeck and cashed ft. It is related of Grimmell that he formed the acquaintance of a revivalist at a church meeting in an Eastern city and pretending to seek religion he allowed his story to be drawn from him of his being agent for a large drug house which had heavy contracts with the Government and endeavored to have his new-found friend cash a Government check for him. On his refusal Grimmell passed the matter carelessly, but continued his visits to the revival meetings. The old man was an officer of the church and passed the con- tribution plate, into which Grimmell would always drop a sum much larger than the other contributors. He finally won the old man over and did the grace- ful by giving him a worthless check in exchange for $400. Grimmell has worked many places, his smooth, glib way making it an easy oper- ation to land a victim. It 13 estimated that he has in all cashed over X worth of forged checks, and if he had not fallen into the hands of the secret service | agents in Philadelphia there is no telling to what extent he would have plied his smooth work. TRUE SOLUTION OF THE GREAT PROBLEMS OF LIFE Address of Rev. Father Sasia, S. J., Ends the Lecture Course of the Young Men’s Institute. The final of the series of lectures given under the auspices of the Young Men's Institute was delivered last evening by Rev. Father Joseph Sasia, 8. J., in Met- ropolitan Temple. His subject was “Catholicism and Human Destiny” or “The True Solution of the Greatest Prob- lem of Life.” The mystery of the hereafter speaker belleved to be the great ques- tion, and he reasoned that the solution of that question lay in the decision of who or what had the right to interpret the revelations and promises of God. It is unreasonable, he said, to believe that the interpretation of the word of God had been left to the caprice of mankind. ‘There must be some authority direct from the Master, and this authority, he said, lay in the 'Catholic chur¢h. He quoted the words of Christ to Peter when he told the apostle he would abide by his church forever, and from this he argued that the Catholic church was the true authority to Interpret the revelations of the Lord concerning the life beyond the grave. There is no other church or so- clety, he sald, that has such a promise, and unless the words be taken as an idle boast they must be accepted to mean that for all time Christ has constituted the Catholic church as his own. The history of the Catholic church, he continued, has been the struggle for ex- istence and the survival of the fittest. For 1800 years it has flourished through all vicissitudes and against all opposing forces, bearing out the promise of Christ that the ‘“gates of hell would not pre- vail” against her. The speaker argued that the body as well as the soul would share in the after life, for revelation included both the body and the soul—the soul to seek its reward at_once, the body to remain until the judgment day, when ail would rise from the dead in their own form, to be judged as they should merit. He quoted from in- fidel and agnostic writers and authorities and compared the promise they held out to the promise of the church.” He com- pared their state of doubt and indecision to the certainty of the promises of God and he summed up thelr state of mind in the prayer of the little agnostie: God (if there be a God), have mercy on the Teeth Made From Paper. Teeth of papier mache are the latest in den- tistry. By a peculiar process they are rendered better than any other material. Paper teeth may be fine. but we will venture that most people prefer thelr own, and this may best be accomplished by keeping the stomach healthy with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The condi- tion of the Stomach invariably affects the teeth. The Bitters will strengthen your stom- ach, cure dyspepsia_and biliousness. BEECHAMS PILLS E DIRECTORY OF RESPONSIBLE HOUSES.

Commissioners Consider the Applica= tions of Tobin and Alvord for Pensions. The Police’ Commissioners as a pension body met yesterday afternoon and consid- ered the applications of ex-Police K Com- missioners Tobin and Alvord for pensions. Attorneys Joseph Dunne appeared for the petitioners. He made an extended argu- ment, citing the law on the subject, and concluded by asking the Commissionérs to have the names of Tobin and Alvord en- rolled on the pension llst. Their application was opposed by Wil- lam Cubery, a printer. He referred to them as being among the wealthiest men in the city, and announced that in case they were allowed pensions he would take the matter into the courts. At the sug- gestion of the chairman of the board final actjon was postponed until the next meet- ing of the board, which will be held on Monday. At the same time several of the worn out and blundering sieuths of the x"upner office” will be consigned to oblive on. —_— ADVERTISEMENTS.
