HIS AMMAssEp FORTUNE USEFUL
The Finest school Buildings I'm Rhode
leland Vow the Haxzard Me-
mortal.

SEwPoET, r, l., June 25.-When IT
became known today that the gold and
silver medals, and the diplomas, award
ed at the st. Joseph schools yesterday
were the gift of 6. b. Hazard,
it caused profound surprise. A
sensation was also caused when
it became known that George Babcock
Hazard had paid the cost of the land
and palatial buildings for the Roman
Catholic parish. st. Joseph's schools
are known now as the Hazard memor-
ial schools. Hazard came to Newport
in the '20s, a comparatively poor boy,
with practically no education, but by
close application and strict economy
even to parsimony, he amassed an i'm
mense fortune. Up to year ago he was
looked upon rs an ;ayaricious money
grabber of very eccentric mind, always
in hot water with the owners of land adj
joining his property, and several times
he has been brought up in Police courts
for assault and other charges. The
school buildings are the finest III Rhode
Island, with splendid halls, wei-iurn-
ished rooms and good acoustic proper
ties. Until the day Of its conservation
the secret was so well kept that when
! the public announcement was made that
Hazard was the donor the people were
incredulous. Yesterday afternoon the
/ fret graduation exercises were held. On
the platform we're Bishop Harkins. OF
Providence, and prominent citizens of
Newport. The bishop made an eloquent
address on "Reminiscences OF Hazard ,
but not word escaped him or the de-
nouncemeDt TO follow. After the diplo-
mas, with gold and silver medals as the
principal prizes, had been awarded, and
all the exercises concluded, the rector,
the Rev. Father Doyle, called on his as-
sistant, Father Downing to read the
written statement signed by George Bab-
4 cock Hazard, giving resume of his
4 life, winding up with the statement that
he, George Babcock Hazard. gave the
school az a Protestant, but now had
been received into the Roman Catholic
church, and promising oerect a build
ing suitable to the parish. This means
a new stone church. The schools cost
nearly 100000.

How About AIlenf
From the Spokane Review
Senator Squire may be forgiven for his
advocacy of the lake Washington scheme.
It is a local deal of glittering possibilities,
and as it offers advantages to his home
city he naturally desires its advance
,meat. This may not be exalted states
manship but it is modern politics. But
what can be said in justification of the
attitude of Senator Allen, who repre-
sents a constituency that would, receive
no benefits from the improvement, and
whose fondest desire Of an open river to
the sea is MANAGED by it2 Thcs Review
has spoken favorably of the legislative
services of Nr. Allen in times gone by,
Very recently it gave warm approval to
his efforts for the opening of the Colvihe
Indian reservation; but it cannot-stand
by and maintain silence when he is en-
stering upon course that we know, and
that his constituents know is wrong and
indicative of moral weakness.

infancy. If the entering wedge is driven

dalies boat railway project, at least SO
far as the present session of congress is
concerned; is defeated. The people of
Wasco. Sherman, Gilliam-indeed,
the whole broad Inland Empire,
are more. than all others inter-
ested in tilis matter. The Congressional
Record at hand, containing accounts OF
the ast-struggle in the house oyer the
project, clearly shows the defeat. We
may as web admit q fact, patent to all ;
the bill was loaded down too heavily (;
and as Oregon had sone of the contract
piums" as our opponents term this sys-
TEN of carrying along large national i'm.
provements, It may readily be seen that
the attempt of one of our senators to de-
mand still another, with large sum at
tached to it, naturally produced jealous
les, contentious, and bad feelings, for
what we have already secured in the
bill. BY some who have u kindly feel
ing FOR Oregon otherwise, It has been
claimed that this demand jeopardises
the entire river and harbor bill. All
things considered, as shown by the rec
ord, our representatives have made 4
gallant fight. but the measure is lost, go
far the dalles project goes. That we
should1i,o longer carry ON the contest for
that item, at this time, it is urged that
we are perilling too much; to longer in
sist. If the canal and locks can be COM
pleted in two years after the contract is
let, and the dailes Improvement can be
made available for transportation pur-
poses within six months after work is
begun, it seems to US wisdom dictates
that we shonld let up on the dalles pro-
iect for another session.
