Three years ago an Indianapolis girl was allowed to rescue a batch of fat puppies from a watery grave on condi- tion that she take care of them. She did so to such good purpose that at the end of three months she sold them for $25 apiece to women who were willing to pay good price for dogs of good habits and trained to do little tricks. That streak of luck gave the young woman an idea, which she has acted upon, and now she has a regular train ing school for dogs, does a thriving business and is making money.

of the elaborations to sailors that dis guise their once iaunty simplicity The one this picture presents was not only trimmed out of all semblance to what was once known as a sailor hat, but even it's shape was altered, and the brim dropped slightly in front and tilt ed up correspondngly in back. It was of white fancy straw trimmed on each side with two huge rosettes of white chiffon and a spray of pink roses. Tine back was garnished with a white Prince of Wales plume and with pink roses.
 Below this hat there is shown in the picture a novel combination of a point ed bodice and jacket effect. Carried out in the original in light cloth, the jacket fronts and collar were of dark silk. In front there was a vest of en- broidered white chiffon with jabots that extended along the sides to the end of the reVers. The draped stock collar had embroidered points in front and the full balloon sleeves ended in turned back silk cuffs. The latter as well as the revers were edged with jet galoOn.

Herr von Joden, of Mayence, who was severely wounded in the upper part Of the arm at the battle of Gits- chin, in the Austro-P Prussian war, in 1866, has had the bullet in his arm ever since that time, all efforts to find it having hitherto failed. During the past few weeks he had been suffering intense pain in connection with the old wound, and his surgeon determined to have the limb taken as a Roentgen pho- tograph. No sooner was this done than the bullet was discovered, and, after being imbedded in the mans arm for thirty years, the missile has at length been removed.

DEATH OF j. III. PHILLIPS
One of Natures Noble Men Gone to His
Long Home.

Twenty minutes before l O'Clock this
morning the spirit of James II. Phil
lips, city passenger agent of the Rock
Island road took TO its flight and one Of
the best hearts that ever pulsated in
the breast of man ceased TO beat.
Many a tear VIII be dropped for poor
Jim today when his numerous friends
viii hear of his death. Every man
who knew him was his friend and IL
can be truly said that ne left the world
without leaving an enemy behind him.
He had a wide acquaintance, especial
" among the frontiersmen, on account
of his long connection with railroad
ing in the west. For years he lived in
Dodge City in its early days and yet
he had nothing of the wild west about
him but large generous heart that
was as sympathetic as that of a woman
He was a most genial companion and
had a disposition that was as gentle
and fond as that of child. He loved
his friends and his friends loved him /;
and no one has passed away recently
whose death Will be so deeply regretted.
He had seen a great deal of the world
but never saw anything but its bright
side. He wanted 10 live only in an at
mOsphere of love and sunshine and he
lived this way IN his family, in his
office and among his friends.
Mr.. Phillips ailment was consump-
ton, and it is said that he has not been
conscious for several days. He died
peacefully with his family and friends
surrounding him. Arrangements for
the funeral will be published later.

REFUSED TO SIGN
Mr. STANLEY TAKES A STAND ON
CERTAIN EVIDENCE
He objects to His Name Appearing to
Document which said There was No
Evidence to Sustain the Charges Against
Judge CampbeIl-Dean Gordon had
Signed the Names of the Committee to
the Journal Entry and He had to Erase
It-This Action VIII in No Manner At
feet the Decision of the Court.

A new sensation, in legal circles, was
added to the Judge Campbell disbar-
ment case yesterday when ". e. STAN
ley refused TO sign the journal entry
that went on record acquitting the as
sistant attorney general.
The affair was the subject OF much
talk around the court house and law
yers passed their opinion on it freely.
1t was more of a sensation than what
il seemed to be in the estimation of Mr..
Stanley, for when reporter for the
Eagle called on him he did not seem 10
consider it of great Importance.
''All there is 10 it." said ne, sis this:
Whent l went up TO the court room yes
terday morning Mr.. Sturdevant pre-
sented me with a prepared journal en-
try for me TO sign. l looked at IL and
found that after reciting a great deal
Of matter il alleged that there was no
evidence in the case 10 sustain the
charges. 1 told him that 1 could not
sign it"
What was your reason?"
simply this: that did believe there
was evidence in the case to sustain the
charges and I could not possibly go on
record as saying that there was not
when believed there was. l could not
stultify myself in that way-it was
asking too much of me.
Mr.. Sturdevant then went 10 Mr..
Dean Gordon, one Of my associates on
the committee, and Mr.. Gordon signed
the names of the committee to the jour
nal entry. In a few minutes afterwards
he told me what he had done and I told
him that l had just told Mr.. Sturde-
want that L could not sign them. Mr..
Gordon Immediately erased the names
Of the committeeman from the journal
entry. When Judge Dale asked me
whether l objected to the journal entry,
1 told him that 1 did not, but that 1
could not attach my name TO ii in APP
prevail. That is all there is to it,
When Mr.. Helm was asked about it,
he said: Il know nothing whatever
about it. 1 did not sign the journal en-
try, was not asked 10 sign it nor was
it necessary for anybody but Judge
Dale to sign it. He is the only person
who has the APPROVAL of journal entry.
If the committee was asked or refused
to sign the journal entry it is all news
to me-
Mr.. Stanley, upon his attention being
called to the necessity for the commit
tee TO sign the journal entry, stated
that there was no necessity at all. He
said it is customary for lawyers on
both sides of an important case to O.
X. the journal entry for the protection
Of the judge who cannot always famil-
iariZe himself with its contents. If any
mistake is made in the entry the court
can have recourse to the attorneys who
0. K. it. That is all it is far.

STOLE A wHEEL FROM WINFIELD
But the Thief was Traced to Wichita am
the Wheel was Recovered.

But the Thief was Traced to Wichita an
the Wheel was Recovered.
p. L. West returned last night from
Wichita, says the Winfield Courier and
brought his stolen wheel back with him
He traced the wheel to Wichita and
found that the man who registered as
J. V. La Fapan, but whose real name
was afterwards found TO be +. B. Lowe,
Of PittSburg, Pa, had sold it for $3.50
When Low registered al the Bon
Ton the house was crowded and he
was assigned a room with =. G.. Fra
zier Of Newton, who carried a wheel
with him to ride when trains did not
run to suit him. Low found out that
Frazier was going to Udall and pro-
posed to rent a wheel and ride up with
him, which he did. At Udall they de-
cided to go by rail 10 Mulvane. Low
said he wanted TO 90 from Mulvane 10
Wichita and would check his wheel
right through. At Mulvane the next
morning Low proposed to pay Mr.. Fra
Zier'S hotel bill with a check, but Mr..
Frazier objected and told him he al
ways paid his own bills. II was lucky
for him doubtless that he refused the
prOffered offer as otherwise he might
have had a hard time explaining his
connection with the supposed thief
and fOrger. II was through Mr.. Fra
Zier that Mr.. West got trace Of his
wheel.

turned to Annapolis in nine hours, over
a perfectly strange course.
During last winter two pigeons were let
loose from the Amphitrite, in Lynn Haven
Bay, 125 miles from Annapolis. They left
the vessel after breakfast and arrived at
the Naval Academy in the afternoon. One
bore a message to Admiral Bunce, stating
that the Amphitrite was snow-bound. The
message was received by the admiral at
the New York navy yard on the same day.
From these and other experiments 1t is
estimated that weli-trained pigeons will fly
over familiar routes at from forty to fifty
miles per hour. one pigeon has been known
to fly al a speed Of seventy-five miles an
hour, or a mile in forty-eight seconds.
Pigeons trained for land flight have made
as high as 500 miles in one trip. 1t Is
thought that sea flights Of 400 miles may
be easily made. The best pigeons can be
saved as reserves for use in case scouting
vessels be chased far out to sea.
Uncle Sam will not be the pioneer in this
step. Pigeon stations for coast defense
are now located along the shores of
France, Italy and Spain. Great Britain
has an extensive system at Gibraltar The
strong garrison there would by this means
be informed almost Immediately of the APP
proach of a hostile vessel on either side
of the gate to the Mediterranean. During
recent French naval nlaneuvers many
birds were released frefR vessels far out
at sea, during a deafening roarof cannon.
Here the noise and scent of powder failed
to frighten or confuse the pigeons, which,
without exception, reached their lofts in
the proper time

sad Mistake of a Bishop.
From the Spectator


The Rev. John England, who is one of
the Wesleyan chaplains to the forces in
the southwest of England. found that his
position in that capacity had deceived the
Bishop of Truro CDR. Gott) into imagining
him to be a clergyman of the church of
England, as the bishop had apparently
failed to realize that we now appoint not
only Anglican, but Roman Catholic, Wes-
leyan, and other Nonconformist chaplains
The bishop, indeed, had remoAst rated
with him on preaching within his diocese
Cat Falmouth without asking his per-
mission. Mr.. England, seeing his oppor-
tunity. led the bishop on into further mis-
apprehensions by simply questioning his
right to interfere, without correcting his
misconception, whereuDon DR.. Colt re-
piled with a reproof of his correspondent S
rather naughty tone toward one whom he
still supposed to owe special respect to a
bishop of the English church and intimate
ing that he never sent circumstances on
matters of this kind to the Anglican cler-
gy without prayer that he might be right
~ directed. Thereupon the Rev. John Eng
land felt that he had got the bishop into
his trap, and fell upon him IN very dis
dainful letter. in which he explained that
he was not in Anglican orders. and sug-
geSted that, as far as he could see, the
bishop might have written his letter I'm
any position but that OF a suppliant seek
Ing guidance from the Holy Spirit"
