WASHINGTON LETTER.

10 - AOSA
To the TelegrabA- Cour1er:
The President will take part In
the Memorial ceremonies of the c..
A. R. at Philadelphia, in accordance
with a promise made more than a
year ago when circumstances COM
PEELED him to recall a half accept
ance of an invitation to do so on
last Memorial day. He will leave
here in the morning and return the
same evening.
After waiting until he was heartily
tired to receive the answer Of the
British government to Secretary
Blaine's proposition for closed sea-
son in Behring's Sea the President
called the Cabinet together and de
cided upon the policy of this govern
ment for the present season without
regard to what may or may not be
the wishes of her majesty's govern
ment, and sailing instructions were
telegraphed to the revenue cutters
Bear and Rush. Nothing official IS
known of those instructions, but
there are reasons for believing that
they do not differ materially from
those Of last season, which were in
short to prevent illegal sealing as far
as possible, but to make no seizures
outside of the three mile limit Sec
rotary Blaine was in Geographic
communication with the President
while the Cabinet consultation was
going on.
Many rumors have been floating
around this week about the resigna-
ton Of Gen, Raum, Commissioner Of
Pensions. one Of them being that the
President had spoken to some Of the
prominent New York Republicans
who were here early in the week
about rendering the position to First
Deputy Commissioner Davidson, Of
that State, and that the same thing
has been proposed at Cabinet
meeting. No member Of the Cabin
|
ct would confirm This, and Commits
sioner Raum and Deputy Davidson
both profess ignorance of it. The
general impression here is that Gen
eral Raum will resign as soon as his
successor is agreed upon.
Senator Hiscock and ex Senators
Plat and Miller were among the dis.
tinguished New Workers here this
week. They all spoke encouraging.

THE free trade Democratic press
has at last been forced to admit that
we are manufacturing tin-plate in
this country. The New York Tines
which is a king bee in that class of
papers, said recently in an editorial:
"No doubt Mr. Laufman can, and
does make n-plate. No doubt 9TH
er American manufacturers are max
ing it III limited quantities." Well,
they couldn't very well be expected
to be making it in large quantities
when the tin-plate schedule of the
Mckinley tariff act doesn't go into
effect until the first of July, could
they? Before the Mckinley bill
was passed not a pound Of tin plate
was made in America. Isn't it a
strong argument in favor Of that bill

THERE is marked difference be
tween the methods of the United
States government in dealing with
crime and that of the State Of Louis

Walla Walla, State of Washington,
are with the exception Of several who
deserted, in irons awaiting trial for
their crime.

PRESIDENT HARRIsoN's tour has
effectually squelched the grand
fathers hat" business by proving
that Mr.. Harrison has ability enough
of his own without having to depend
either upon his ancestors or upon
the statistics Of the encyclopedia to
make himself popular with the peo-
pie. There are few men who could
make as many or as able set of
speeches as those he delivered while
on his memorable tour, and his abil-
ity is now conceded on all sides.

That Fatal Word " Grant.

Hon. L. B. Caswell makes a
strong point against the intelligence
of the trainers of the Dodge legacy
law last winter. He writes the fol-
lowing letter to the Milwaukee Sen
tinel:
Fort ATKINSON, Wis, May 20
Thus far the discussion on the effect
of the Dodge law enacted by the
last legislature upon churches and
other charitable institutions, in &C
curing real estate, has been had as
though the law affected wills and
requests only. The language of the
act is: "But no gift, grant, or devise
of real estate to any such literary or
charitable corporation shall be valid
unless made at least three months
before the death Of the person max
ing the same" The statutes amen
ded relate to titles, and not especially
to wills. The word grant" means
convey" This term is not used in
making requests, but always in max
ing deeds. Churches, in purchasing
real estate for the erection Of build
ings, would do we'll to defer the
improvement for three months after
obtaing the deed to see if the gran
tor does not die If he should, their
title would be gone, and perhaps the
purchase money also.

The Fancy Dress BAN.

The fancy dress ball given by
Prof. Donnellan and wife at Eldridge
hall Friday night was a grand so.
cial success. The attendance was
not confined to the participants by
any means, but quite a large num-
Der of spectators were present and
enjoyed the graceful movements OF
those who exhibited the training
they had received while attending
the school. Some of the figures
were new and unique, and were
danced with easy grace that showed
careful training.
The costumes were varied, some
gorgeous some ridiculous, some
unique, some becoming and some
otherwise. The BANNER was credit
ably represented by little Miss
Oracle Gardner.
The dance was not concluded un.
til late hour and the opinion of the
attendants was that it was a social
success.

Hanged Himself.

Mr.. Christie Emshoff, prosperous
German farmer residing near the
Washington and Austin county line,
seven miles south of this city, com
mitted suicide Friday night by hang
ing himself in a horse stable in his
horse lot, where he was found about
II o'clock Friday night. 1t could
not be ascertained what led to the
rash act of the gentleman thus taking
life in his own hands and rushing
ruthlessly from a world of troubles
to perhaps face others in the great
unknown that he knew not of, but a
relative said to reporter that it was
perhaps some family trouble. He
was man of about 40 years of age
and leaves a wife and seven children
to mourn his death. In this city he
has a number of relatives, being a
brother. law of Mr.. J. r. Stern, of
the firm of Stern e. Voss, and an
uncle OF Messrs. R1ngener Bros.
Particulars of the sad suicide were
meagre, but from one of the rela-
tives it was learned that he plowed
all day Friday and that after supper
vent to visit a son-in-law near by, re-
turning about ten o'clock and retir-
ing at once. After he had been in
bed short time he said he had to
go out, and his continued absence
caused a search with the above re-
suit. Nothing unusual had occurred
and it is mystery why he suicided.
Numerous relatives deplore his tragic
death.

A Dangerous Runaway.

Saturday morning the 2:40 a. m,
east bound Central train brought
Mr.. W. V. George, wife and two ba.
bies to this city and upon their ar,
rival they took the Exchange hotel
bus for the city, and while the
driver went back to secure other
passengers the horses took fright
and ran away, throwing Mr.. George
and his family out, seriously hurting
them, Mr.. George having two of
his fingers broken getting consider
ably bruised up. Mrs. George was
considerably shook up and it was
feared had sustained internal inju.
ries. The children, one of which was
only six months old, were not much
hurt as the parents protected them
in their tumble from the bus,
which accounts for their injuries,
not being able to catch in tbs fall,
and hold up the children.
The team ran towards the Levy
hotel and passed it, turning over the
bus near the pulp factory, slightly
demolishing it.
Mr.. George is printer and tele-
graph operator by trade, with pres
ent residence at Independence.
