At the night session William Henry
Smith of Chicago then spoke upon THE
Public Press as the Advocate of Human
Rights and the Champion of the Interests
of the Common People"
The speaker outlined the history of the
prosecutions which had befallen the
champions of free speech from the date of
the first newspaper in London in 1922,
paying particular attention to the history
of William Cobbett, whose life was a con-
tinuous struggle for the liberty of the
press. The speaker concluded as fol-
lows:
The press has been the most respected and
the most influential when conducted in high
level-when principles were aYOwed and kept
to the 'front.' The names of Hammond Greeley,
Bryant, Raymond and Bowles stood for some
thing OF value to society and humanity. They
did not believe they were journalists merely
ito raise HI and sell newspapers" to flatter
the vanity of the frivolous or to encourage the
vicious. They endeavOred in all sincerity
and truth to live up to their
sponsibiities The press mas won and held
the respect and confidence OF the people
10 the extent it has been brave. truthful and
honest; and possessing these virtues il has
been instrumental in promoting liberty and
the general welfare of society, thus fulfilling
high mission; what from the public character
of the press ought to be its career from
choice, conservation TO truth. to humanity.

His Own Life.

ATLANTA. Ca, May 24-Just as the
state capitol bell was ringing out the hour
of o'clock last night the sharp report of
a pistol shot was heard. This drew the
janitor to the spot, who found tine dead
body of Lewis Abbott lying upon the floor
near the base of the Ben Hill monument
in the grand hall. In his right hand was
held pistol. A bullet had pierced
through his right temple. 1t seems that
young Abbott. who was but seventeen
and a student in the city high school, was
desperately in love with the fifteen-year-
old daughter of the Rev. Tullius G.
Upper. rector of st. Philips protestant
episcopal church. The rectory is across

Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Two mad dogs made
their appearance in the neighborhood of

noon and before they were killed they
succeeded in biting over twenty people.
The first dog to appear in the neighbor-
hood was little yellow cur. 1t was seen
at the corner OF Forty-eighth and Lake-sts.,
just ono block from the w. Lake-st. police
station. Froth was coming from its mouth
and it was swapping at everybody within

bit upon the nose. Polly LLOYD. fourteen
years OF age. was next bitten on the

On the hand. and others sui
fered in quick succession. The
police were called. but before they could
catch the animal il had attempted to bite
Charles Gates. wholkilled it with a club.
The cur had bitten fully dozen people
before it was killed. The excitement had
hardly subsidized when large black span
lei appeared. Its first victim was two-year-
old Alice Caney, whom il bit on the head.
Mrs Caney ran to the child's assistance
and was fearfully bitten on the arms and
shoulders. Mrs J. 0dell, who attempted
10 help Mrs. Caney. was also badly bitten.

WAS RATHER BLOODY.
Scores of Men Fell i'm the Battle OF
Barranca Pass.

GRANADA, Nicaragua, May 24-Addi-
tional details Of the decisive battle of Bar
ranca Pass, near Masaya, show that it
was even more disastrous than it was at
first believed TO be. Reliable datas show
that the government losses were l55
killed and 267 wounded. The fighting
which resulted so disastrously TO Sa.
casas government began at 10 o'clock on
the morning OF May Is. Supported by its
batteries north OF Nindiri station the
government column advanced toward the
position held by the revOlutionists.
the troops advanced, the insurgent bat
terry en- Coyetepeo hill opened fire. The
well-trained field pieces PLAYED havoc
with the attacking columns and caused
them to turn back. The column hur-
riedly reformed and advanced again in
the face of the deadly fire from
the batteries on Coyetepeo hill.
The Krupp guns of Sacasa gave many a
roar but did no damage to the lnsnrgent
forces. Every effort to silence the guns
on Covetepo hill was useless, while in
surgent batteries were raking the govern
ment ranks with distressing effect The
advance or their infantry was checked
and the effort to carry the hight was final
ly abandoned. Carrying away their
wounded with them, Sacasa's troops were
finally forced to leave the field. None of
the revolutionists were injured.
Thirteen hundred government troops
attempted to fight their way out to the DO
sition held by the insurgents, but were un-
successful and were forced to retire. 1t
was supposed that this would end the
fighting for the day. but two hours later
the demoralized government forces had
been reformed and were ordered again to
the attack. Scores of men fell in the bat
tlafeld.
