THEODORE D. WILSON DEAD.
Former Chief Constructor of tho Navy Ex
pires Suddenly at Boston.

Boston, June 30.-Theodore ID. VII,
son, formerly chief constructor of the
navy, died suddenly here yesterday, the
result of heat stroke received while
experimenting the docking of the
monitor Passaic. Theodore Delevan
Wilson was born in Brooklyn, N. Y,
May II, 1910, and served an appren-
ticeship as shipswright in the navy
yard there, at the beginning of the
civil war, becoming carpenter in the
navy, from which grade he rose steadi-
ly to the position of chief naval con-
structor in 1872. In the latter Office
he had charge of the design and con-
struction of most of the new navy un-
til three years ago, when he was com
PEELED to take leave of absence on
account of failing health. Last July,
upon partial recovery, he was given
active duty at Boston. Constructor
Wilson was for many years senior otii-
Ger of his corps, and almost as well
known in naval circles abroad as in
this country. He was the first Ameri-
can to be elected member of English
Institute of Naval Architects, and has
always been prominent in scientific So
cieties. His work on "Ship Building,
Theoretical and Practical" is the text
book at the naval academy and quoted
as authority by the profession gener-
ally. He leaves widow, two daugh-
ters and two sons, the elder of the lat
ter being a surgeon in the navy.

This Years Contest.
1.-The contest this year will not be
waged upon lines of theory and specu
lation, but in the light of severe prac-
teal experience and new and deadly
acquired knowledge. The great body
of our citizens know what they want
and that they intend to have. They
know for what the republican party
stands and what its return to
power means to them. The platform
adopted by the republican national
convention has received my careful
consideration and has my unqualified
approval. 1t is matter of gratitica-
tiou to me, as am sure it must be to
you and republicans everywhere, and
to all our people, that the expressions
of its declaration of principles are so
direct, clear and emphatic They are
too plain and positive to leave any
chance for doubt or question as to their
purport and meaning. But you will
not expect me to discuss its provisions
at length or in any detail at this time.
1t will, however, be my duty and
pleasure at some future day to make
to you, and through you to the great
party you represent, more formal ac-
ceptance of the nomination rendered

scented to.

IS about % years of age and experts in
New York predict for him a great
future. He has been studying for

The Order of the United states ciruit Couri
DNfiued.


In the case of Shaw vs, F. Blumen-
thai Il Co., on November gath. 1894. a
verdict was obtained by the plaintiff,
IN the United States circuit court, for
ST. 600, and on the same day judg-
ment was entered against the defendants
for that amount. On the same day also
motion was made by the lefendants'
counsel for now trial.
Section II of tho act of Congress con-
stituting United States circuit courts
OF appeals provides "That no appeal or
writ OF error by which any order, iudg-
ment or decree may be reviewed in
the circuit court of appeals under the
provisions of this act, shall be taken or
sued out except within six months af.
Ter the entry of the order, judgment or
decree sought to be reviewed. -
On the 10Th of July, 1895, writ of
error was allowed to the defendants by
the cicruit court, on the condition that
II should be brought to the attention
OF the circuit court Of appeals that the
writ had not been applied for within
tho time limited BY the statute.
The record of the case, which was
filed in the appellate court. showed
that more than six months had elapsed
from the entry OF the judgment when
the writ was taken out. Application
was then made to the appellate court
by defendants counsel for the dismissal
of the writ on the ground that the judg-
mont below had been prematurely and
irregularly entered on the same day on
which the verdict was rendered and
was not a final Judgment. The appel
late court dismissed the writ without
prejudice, and without passing on the
question Of the premature entry of the
judgment, but referred that question
to the circuit court, with the intima-
tion that this court, on consideration,
might correct its record by striking
off the entry of November 2lth, 1894,
as having been improvidently made,
and so relieve the plaintiff ia error from
the situation. in which he apparently
stands, Of having sued out his writ Of
error after the period allowed by the
statute had expired"
The circuit court has decided that
the Judgment was regularly entered
according to the practice which has
prevailed In that court since its Or
ganization, and that the suggestion of
the appellate court to strike off the
entry Of tho judgment could not be
adopted; but, in order to accomplish
the end desired, it is held that the
operation of the judgment of November
2lth, 1891, was suspended by the motion
for new trial, which is still pending
and undisposed of, and that upon the
dismissal or Withdrawal of that motion
the judgment would become final one
and valid writ Of error could then be
issued.

The Child Enticed by gilbert From Her Fa-
Tiers BARRIER shop, subjected to 1erribls
Abuse, and. After Being Hacked with an
Axe, Buried IN IA Cellar.
Boston, Mass, Feb. 2l.-Anpus d.
Gilbert was hanged in the Charles
Street Jail to day for the murder of
Alice Sterling, child.
About o'cIock in the afternoon on
April 10th, 1895, Gilbert called at
Sterling's barber shop, on Dorchester
avenue, as was his custom when in
that vicinity. Tho barber's little
daughter, Alice May, was playing in
front of the house and as she was a
great favorite with Gilbert he kissed
and embraced her before entering the
shop. He said he had been in the city
proper during the forenoon and had
enjoyed himself, hut he manifested no
symptoms of intoxication. Little Alice
came in and sat on his knee for while
and then ran out to play again. After
the child had left the shop Gilbert went
ont, saying he was going to do his chores
at the Emmons premises, on Savin Hill.
Sterling, not hearing his little girl 8
childish prattle on the sidewalk,
thought she was in the house of a
neghhor, but when she did not return
IN an hour ne went out and looked for
her. He became very much alarmed
for the child's safety and had a general
alarm sent out by the police that night.
The following day it was learned
that Alice had been seen in the com
pany of man going towards the
marshes and then the theory of foul
play was suggested. The parents Of
the missing child were crazed with
grief and the neighbors assisted them
in their fruitless search for some
tidings nj her None exhibited more
anxity or manifested more genuine
grief than Gilbert. Suspicion being
directed to HIM, his room was
searched and the blood stained clothes
Of the child were found there. After a
further search the little body, bearing
evidence of horrible abuse and sub
sequent hacking with an axe, was dug
up from hastily constructed grave in
the cellar If the barn.
Gilbert's indictment, trial, con
viction and sentence followed quickly,
but his lawyer brought the case to the
supreme court on the ground his client
was insane. The supreme court, after
q careful hearing, sustained the verdict
of the jury.

n. Y. Evening Telegram.
Some physicians argue that too much
bathing is injurious. This may be true
IN the case of nervous and unhealthy
persons, hut those in normal condi-
tion need not fear t. battle too fre.
quently. For the starch bath ordinary
starch is dissolved in trb of water; a
couple of handfuls is sufficient. When
the skin is irritated, nothing is more
soothing than starch bath, which
makes the water look like milk. When
salt baths arc not practicable, the sea
salt sold in packages is an excellent
substitute. Powdered borax or soda
allowed to dissolve in the bath has adj
mirable cleansing properties. Some of.
the famous beauties have bath pre-
pared with crushed strawberries, while
others lie in water upon which floats
scattered rose petals; varily this is car
rying luxury TO remarkable extreme.
Such baths are agreeable rather than
hygenic The Russian or Turkish bath
should be used at least once week.

POETRY QUOTED BY WILLIS
Doesn't Believe in Faith That
Points to the impossible.
HOW HE CLINCHED HIS BELIEF
Reclted a Bit of Verse In the
House of Representatives.


Washington, Feb. 81. "A writer in
the Washington Post expresses very
little appreciation Of Representative
Willis ability to tell good stories.
Under the heading Of " Humor of De.
bate, the writer reviews the ''verita.
BILE mountain of speeches. which were
delivered during the discussion over the
financial question, and retells some of
the stories which were supposed TO be
funny. After reviewing the bright
sayings OF Mr.. Walker of Massachu-
setts, Mr.. Pearson Of North Carolina,
Mr.. Talbert of South Carolina, Mr..
Layton Of Ohio and Mr.. Brosius of
Pennsylvania, he says
In urging the House to do its duty
independent of what the Senate or the
President might do, Mr.. johnson of
California, told a story. II am re.
minded, " said he, "of an old coored
preacher who, speaking OF the Bible,
said that he believed in it. Whatever
is commanded in this book l will do, >
said he. II | should read in this Bible
that it was my duty to jump through
stone wall, | would try. Jumping
at, the stone wall belongs to me; going
through it belongs to the Lord. y
This little story served as text for
many of the members, but Mr.. Willis
Of Delaware, found in it pretext to
inflict poetry on the House. Mr.
Willis does not believe in the kind of
faith which points to the impossible,
and he clinches his belief with this
bit of verse;
We do not ask the little brook
To turn the wheel
Unto the larger stream we look.
The strength of steel,
We do not ask of silken bands;
Nor hearts of oak from willow wands.
We do ask the wren to go
Up to the heights the eagles know;
Nor yet expect the lark S clear note
From out the doves dumb throat.
Mr. Willis, By the way, twice secured
an extension Of time by promising to
tell the members the best stories they
had ever heard. Either Mr.. Willis has
poor idea of the character of stories
to which the members listen, or else
the dull pages of the Congressional
Record blunt his good points. for really
neither of his stories seems 10 he worthy
of place even in this haphazard col
lection,
