FANNIE RICE A MAMMA.
Her Baby Is a Girl and Her Husband Is
Pleased.

Her Baby Is Girl and Her Husband Is
Pleased.
New York World, May %: There was
bouncing 12-pound girl baby usbered
into the world yesterday at the Gilsey
house. This was not the first birth in
the history of the hostelry, but the ad-
vent OF this particular infant is OF inter-
est because her mother ia Mrs. George
w. PuIdy, otherwise Fannie Rice, the
erstwhile soubrette OF the Casino, whose
early triumphs at the home of comic OPP
era are indelibly impressed upon the
memory of theater goers.
Seven years sgo FaDnie Rice in the
black tights and tulle ballet skirts OF
Nadjy, sang of the cares and trials that
come "when mans married." while
her newly wed husband, DR.. Purdy, sat
in front and chuckled gleefully over her
musical description of father walking
the floor all night with crying baby.
Now the doctor is getting in training to
sympathize with the man OF the song.
He finds cancellation, however, in the
belief that his young daughter will in
herit her mothers angelic disposition.
And he was delighted at the news.
Fannie Rice was always popular in this
city, and hss been seen in many operas
and farce comedies.
Her citation was as great as that OF her
husband, and many well-known theat-
rical persons left congratulatory cards.

STEEL ARMOR PLATES.
PROGRESS OF THE INVESTIGA-
TION OF FRAUDS.
Interesting estimony Before the Com
mittse Why the Monterey's
Platea Were Not Thor
oughiy Tested.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-In the armor
plate investigation today Captain Samp-
con, in explaining the manner OF taking
samples, said an employee of the Car
negie works took the samples and sub
jected them to machine tests. The
Carnegie employees called off the results
and the government inspector took the
figures as called off.
I'm other Words" said Capt. Cum
mings, "the government tests were made
by Carnegie employees with Carnegie
machine and were accepted as conclu-
sivs by the government"
Capt. Sampson said this was custom
airy the world over.
reliance had to be placed on the COM
pany's employees. The testing machines
had dial upon which the government
inspector might see that tbs checking off
was correct"
The l3-inch plates of the Monterey
have numerous blow-holes, with the
knowledge of the department. The
plates were hurriedly made in 1892, and
would not be accepted now.
The Monterey plates were the first
made. The Chilean trouble was pend
ing, and the department was DESTROYS Of
hurrying forward the work.
Chairman Cummings asked for specific
details as to why steel armor should
coet more than steel rails. Captain
Simpson said the Bethlehem works had
spent 81, 600, 600 on their first plant. 1t
was largely an Investment on expert
ment. The making of steel rails was
simple process. The making OF an
armor plate was an intricate process,
covering six months.
Chairman Cumm ings asked to have
the sta ement OF Representative Coombs
of New York. that the first government
contract had paid the Carnegie COM
pany for the cost of the plant. and yet
new contracts were being made at the
old rates, thus paying the Carnegie
company several times for their plant.
Captain Sampson said he thought it
was 10 some ex emit true that the more
recent contracts were based on the
earlier contracts with the cost of the
plant considered for making the price
for armor.
Chairman Cummings-"Did you I'M
earth any testimony locating any Of
these Irregularities on superintendent
Schwartz"
"Not directly" said Captain Samp-
son.
but, from the circumstances of the
case, it was impossible he should not
have known of the Irregularities ?"
Had he been removsd?" asked Mr..
Cummings.
"His position has been changed" re-
piled the witness.
''But he keeps position with the
company? asked Representative
Money.
II understand he will be removed, !"
said the witness.
Captain Sampson negatived the
charges that bolts and screws of defect
i've sizes and shapes have been used in
securing the armor plate.
The department had the affidavit OF
Mr.. Brown as to Herious defects in boIs
and screws. The charges had been in
vestigsted and Dir. Browns evidence
taken. 1t was found that there was
nothing in the charges. This closed

time set for sentencing Andres Morales,
convicted few days ago of murder in
the second degree. for killing Ramon
Ozuna some weeks since. Morales

LEGAL DEFINITION.
Horseracing L. Not In Any Sense

Horseraoing Is Not In Any Sense q
Lottery
BROOKLYN, May 28.-Phillip ]. Dryer,
who was held by the grand jury on q
charge OF maintaining lottery, and
whose case was brought before Judge
Gaynor in the supreme court on writ
of habeas corpus last week, was today
discharged on the ground that his arrest
was illegal under the Ives law. The
Judge in his decision says:
There is no foundation for the con-
tention that horserscing is lottery. 1t
ia not a lottery. either in common
speech or within legal definition. Lot.
terry depends ON lot of chance, such as
the casting of lots, throwing of dice, or
the turning OF wheel. In the scheme
of this race horse owners do not pay
sum to win larger sum, by lot or
chance, but in order to enter the con-
test OF skill, endurance and speed, upon
which the stake depends. With the
matter as moral question l have moth
ing to say"

there adopted resolutions deploring the

reply:
"lhe resolution of your post was duly
received and considered. Although the
Savior of mankind. while on earth, al
lowed ON the Holy Sabbath the pulling
OF an OK or an ass out of pit. yet your
post objects to any effort on Decoration

CINcINNATI, May 2S.-The Enquirer

Dol. w. @. P. Breckenridge and Mr.. Evan
Settle, competitive candidates for the
Democratic nomination for congress
from the Ashland district, spoke there
in the court house today. This is Mr..
Settles own county and his friends were
enthusiastic. Breckenridge WAS greeted
with some cheers.
He said he had not come asking
aims; referred to his record of 10 years
in congress; suggested that it was bad
policy to swap horses while crossing a
swollen river; said the Democratic par
ty had the great task of tariff
reform on its hands; experienced
Democratic legislators were needed to
grarple with this task. He concluded
by declaring everlasting devotion to his
friends and forgetfulness OF his enemies.
When Mr.. Settle arose he was unable
for come time to begin speaking owing
to the prolonged cheering. He spoke OF
his home people; thanked them for past
honors; assured them that should he be
trusted with higher honor he would SO
ill the trust go as not to disbonor it.

They Cannot Receive Orders From ANY

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The many oc-
casions of late for the employment of
federal troops to assist judicial officers
in protecting railway and other prop
erty from organized bodies of lawless
men and the misconce ption of the real
functions of the troops has caused the
issue by General Schotield OF instruc-
tions to army department commanders
to the effect that when troops are so
employed they cannot be directed to act
under the orders of any civil officer. The
commanding officers of the troops 30
employed are directly responsible to
their military superiors. Any unlawful
or unauthorized or unlawful act on their
part would not be excusable on the
ground of any order or request received
by them from a marshal OF any other
civil officers.

Sunday afternoon five Indian police
men from the Warm Springs Agency,
arrived here, bringing young Hawthorne
with them. The latter was in a hack
propped up on mattress, and two of
the Indians were riding with him, the
other two being on horseback. As they
drove up to the Jail crowd of men and
boys trotted along beside the wagon to
get a good look at the young criminal.
He is at present locked up in jail, being
held on the charge of killing Hayes.
Just what will become of him is hard to
say, though it is probable the federal
courts will take charge of his case in the
killing of Karpohs. He is wounded in
the side, flesh wound only and will be
all right in week or so. :.
