Editor Hatton Dead.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Frank Hatton late editor of the Washington Post, died at his home in this city. Less than week ago Qast Tuesday afternoon) Mir. Hatton who apparently had been in good health, was suddenly stricken with paralysis while working alone at his desk. With great difficulty, for his speech was i'm paired by the attack, he succeeded in sum moning assistance, and was at once re moved to his home.
 The gravity of the case was fully real iZed by his friends, but some intervals of consciousness and signs of rallying, even as late Sunday, gave hope that he might still recover. But his physicians held out little encouragement and looked for the worst.
 The last fatal change was manifest Mon day morning, when the dread symptoms of Brights disease appeared. The virus

spread rapidly and soon reached the heart There was no pain, as the faculties were deadened hy the destroying agent, and unconscious of the presence of his wife and son and in spite of all that medical aid could accomplish MT. Hatton expired.
 Frank Hatton was born in Cambridge, O., April 2S 1S46. From his earliest days he was intimately connected with newspa- per work, his father, Richard Hatton, be- ing while Frank was yet little boy en- gagged in the publication of the Cadiz CO., Republican. At the outbreak, of the war of the rebellion he enlisted in the Ninety eighth Ohio infantry, served faithfully throughout the great struggle as a mem Der of the Army, of the Cum heriand and in 1864 was commissioned first lieutenant. When the war came to close, MT. Hatton naturally returned to the profession and in the town of Mount Pleasant, la, edited The Journal from 1869 to 1S74 and then he removed to Burlington, Ia., where he pur- chased controlling interest in The Hawk eye his partner being Robert J. Burdette, the humorist.
 Mr. Hatton's first federal office was that of postmaster at Burlington for some years prior to 1881, when President Arthur ap- pointed him assistant postmaster general. In that capacity he served from October, 1881, until October, 1884.
 Then the retirement of Judge Gresham from the office of postmaster general brought about MT. Hatton's promotion tc 8 seat in the cabinet. He continued to be postmaster general until the close of Gen eral Arthurs administration, and he was justly proud of the fact that with the ex, ception of Alexander Hamilton he was the youngest cabinet officer in the history oi the United States government.
 For two years-from 1882 to IsS4-Mr. Hatton had much to do with The Nat:o al Republican of this city, but in the sum mer of the latter year he severed his con nection herewith and removed to Chicago to become editor-in-chief of the Chicago Mail. In 1888 Mir. Hatton returned to this city and in partnership with Mir. Beriah Wilkins purchased the Washington Post of which he has been editor-in-chief ever

COXEY'S ARMY MOVING.
Commonwealers Start For the
 Steps of the Capitol.
PERMIT ISSUED FOR THE PARADE.

Goxey and His Men Will Enter the Grounds
 as Individuals and Try to Hold Meeting.
 New Quarters Secured-Much Grumbling
 About the ComInissary Wagons.
 WAsHINGToN, May 1.-Early this morn ing the camp of CoXey's army of the com monweal was astir, preparing for the much talked of, long expected march to the steps of the capitol. About 9 o'clock the good roads army had loaded its tents into the commissary wagons, and headed by it's band, with banners, horses and all its shabby paraphernalia, moved toward the city.
 According to the programme, the army is to march past the White House, war de- partment and treasury and up Pennsyl- vania avenue to the capitol. Nine mounted policemen were detailed by Major Moore to ride at the head of the procession. If the army attempts to march into the capi- tol grounds, it will be stopped and its leaders arrested if they persist. Whether General CoXey will bow to the mandates of the police or whether he desires to have himself arreste1 and be held up as a mar tyr is a question upon which he has stout ly refused to tait. Mir. Coxey saw Major Moore, the chief of police, and announced 
 intention of speaking on the capitol steps.
 Some commonwealers intimate that when repulsed the army will disband and its members enter the grounds as individ uals and then do their speechmaking un- der the statue of Christopher Columbus on the steps. "If they do," says Major Moore, "they will be arrested"
 New Quarters Secured.
 Having finished their public demonstra- tion, the commonweal soldiers will march to vacant lot at Second and NJ streets, s,.o invest, where they will pitch their ten The leaders announce that this will be | Ie permanent camp of the army of peace until the Coxey bills are passed by congress. Other contingents are expected to join them there they say. The present camp is too far from the city, and there are rumors of disagreement between the park owners and the army leaders over the division of gate receipts. The local head quarters will be closed tomorrow night.
 Colonel Redstoue, the bearded little man whose spirits have been drooE ing since he got lost in the shuffle on Sund y and failed to welcome the army to tE capital, de- clares that his mission will nave been com- pleted then. He claims that more than 1000 Washingtonians have enlisted for the march. There may be local labor men in

Pets In Apartment Houses.

"We experience some of the most provok-
ing incidents of the real estate business, u
said an up town agent, dealing with PEG
pie with pets. Between having apartments
vacant and getting Objectionable tenants in
them we are often between the devil and
the deep sea. 1t is curious fact that peo-
pie without children usually have some
sort of pet or pets. While it is desirable to
get people with no small children, there are
children and children, you know, and SO
there are pets and pets. I've steered away
from the Scylla of children only to go to
pieces upon the Chary bdis of mocking
bird or terrier.
Funny, isn't it, how childless people will
get the noisiest creatures for pets? 10 take
the place of children, presume. The gilt
edged tenant is the couple who have had
children, raised them and married them OH.
There is no nonsense about that sort or a
couple Only they are awfully cranky
about other people. Having been through
all of that sort of thing they have de-
sire to live the rest of their days in peace
and quietude, and they naturally OBJECT
to children and dogs and birds and any
thing that interferes with that idea. And
they dread a piano more than a 7-year-old
boy. The newly married pair is, OF a
matter of course, the most desirable. Ihey
have no pets but each other and bother
nobody and stand anything. My idea OF
an earthly paradise is an apartment mouse
filed up with newly married couples. -

The Capture of Fort George,

One of the most creditable victories won
by our navy and army in the war of 1912
was the capture Of Fort George. This was
a formidable earthwork just above the vii
lage of Newark, on the western side of Nj
agara river, two miles from its mouth. On
the Goth of May, 1918, General Dearborn ap-
preached this place with troops while a
number of American gunboats appeared
off the place on the lake. Five of the gun
boats opened heavy fire ON the British
batteries, and others took a position to cover
the landing of his troops. The British re-
sponded with heavy fire. The troops were
landed in two divisions, one under General
Winfield Scott, who is celebrated for say
ing, 'I'll try, sir" and the other under
Oliver Hazard Perry, afterward the hero
of the battle of Lake Erie.
Just as the hats were approaching the
landing 200 Canadian rifemen, posted in a
ravine. opened sharp fire on them. But
dashing on in spite of this fire the boats
pulled to the shore. Captain Hindman was
the first to land, and so eager were the 9TH
ers to follow him that many jumped into
the water and waded to the shore. AS soon
as possible the troops formed in line, charg-
ed the Canadians and drove them from the
ravine. Another and stronger body of Eng
ishmen, posted in another ravine, a half
mile in the rear, opened severe fire on the
advancing Americans. They were driven
from this position also, and then their COM
bined troops, numbering 800 or more, took
a strong position on the top of a steep bank.
The Americans charged this position three
times before they could carry it, but they
finally succeeded, and the British were com.
pletely routed.-New York Recorder.

FRoGGv AMI: THE SNAKE.
Unique and INTEREST," Contest With o.
Happy Conclusion.

Last year in early May while resident
engineer ON the Mineral railroad, the great
feeder and outlet of all the furnaces, iron
and coal mines and limestone quarries in
the Birmingham district of Alabama, / had
in charge some masonry in the Calebee
Valley line. At noon one day climbed up
and ate dinner on top of high bluff, rocky
end bare, except where a few leaves had
lodged when blown from the trees on either
side. l had finished eating and lazily
sprawled out almost asleep when heard a
queer, quirking noise, together with hiss,
the latter of which awoke me quick enough,
for knew the whole valley was infested
with snakes.
Much to my surprise on jumping up and
looking round I found a large black and
gray snake coachwhip, with poor little
frog in front of him, preparing for his meal.
kept quiet, watching both and wondering
what they would do. Again and again the
/ snake coiled and struck, always missing
the frog, which, facing him, nimbly leaped
aside. Suddenly, without coiling, by a
quick spring the snake caught the frog and
held him fast. Then began another anus
ing scramble. The snake would gulp and
twist, trying to swallow the frog, the frog
trying to get away and croaking with ter
ror. By quick movement the frog got
free when the snake opened its mouth to
get better grip. 1 noticed then for the
first time that the frog had a small twig
about three inches long, tightly crosswise
It's mouth. What did it hold to that for? I
wondered. I soon saw.
The snake again caught the frog and at
tempted to bolt it, and it was the stick that
was cheating him out of his feast. He could
grasp the frog, but the stick held across it's
mouth prevented him from swallowing it.
Again the little frog got away, and lodging
about faced his big enemy with his queer
little blinking eyes and expanding throat,
making whistling croak and watching his
adversary. The snake seemed to lose it's
temper and Kissed and coiled rapidly. strik-
ing with a fierce hate, but the frog sprang
out of its way every time. Finally the
snake seemed to give up the contest, and
stretched out YEARLY. Then froggy lost
his head and started hopping away, only to
be run down from behind and ignominious-
ly swallowed after all. But killed his
enemy and ripped him open and gave the
frog the freedom he certainly deserved
