ADDRESS BY c. NJ. DEPEw
EFFECT OF UNIVERSAL EDUCATION
ON EMOTION AND ENTHUSIASM.
Washington and Lincoln Compared
Both Attained Fame from Radically
Different stations in Life.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Under the auspices Of
the Union League Club. Theodore Roose-
Welt. New York,s commissioner of police
delivered an address this afternoon at the
Auditorium, his subject being Present Day
Lessons from Washington's Life" The re-
cital hall was packed. and Mr.. Roosevelt's
address. well as that of H. II. Kohlsaat.
president of the day, were received with
warm applause. After some patriotic music
Mr.. Kohlsaat spoke in part as follows:
THE combined wisdom, statecraft and
patriotism of our fathers find their fittest
expression in Washington. But what avails
the recounting OF his deeds OF valor?
What boots 1t to extoll the virtues of those
VINO have done well and are dead? The
whole land, from center to circumference,
is departed from righteousness. The dullest
may discover ii. The people are awaken
ing. Already the public conscience is quick
ening. On every hand there Is dissatisfac-
tion with present conditions. Let us have
done with pomp and circumstance. Bring
to us from the life of Washington lessons
calculated to revive sound principles or
honesty and uprightness in every path of
life. Teach the people how to live. Teach
the leaders to be examples to the people
Teach all the sacredness OF law. Tell them
that patriotism does not consist in tracing
back ones ancestry to a gentleman, but in
obeying the statutes of the land in their
spirit; that even a descendant OF Franklin
may hope TO be true patriot; teach them
that in no way can they honor the memory
OF him whose birth we celebrate better than
by creating an environment on which he
could live If here to-day and not be lone
some. The life of the Nation is in jeopardy.
not from foreign foes, but from the declined
immoral principles Of her citizens So great
is she, in her people and her resources, that
nothing but the undermining and destruction
of her manhood and womanhUo1 can menaca
her. Happily the revival of the principles
of &c is under way. The heart OF the masses
is touched with remorse, whence always
comes betterment."

The first mile was run in 1:651a, the second

STRUCK BY A HUGE WAVE.
The Cunarder Campania Washed by n
Powerful COmber.


NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-According to the
passengers of the Cunarder Campania,
which got in to-day from Liverpool, and
among whom was Howard Jeffreys, of this
city, the big racer met a. remarkably big
wave at half-past 5 o'clock a. m on
Wednesday last. Nearly all the passen-
gers were in bed at the time, but the shock
threw them out of their hunks and almost
precipitated a panic. Half-clad men went
to the officers of the vessel and asked If
there was any danger. They were an
swered that there was none, but First En-
gineer Tomlinson admitted that the CAM
pania had never met such a powerful
comber before. The wave struck the ves-
sci head-on and buried her under tons of
green water. Spray flew entirely over her
big tunnels and found its way into her
cabins, through her ventiators and port
holes The initiated thought the ship had
been hit by a tidal wave. The officers de-
MED that the vessel had encountered any
particularly heavy weather, but Mr.. JEFF
freys said that Captain Walker declared
he had never encountered such a big
wave in his forty years experience on the
sea.

Suicide Route !
par1ey ri. Gould Takes
His OUn Life.

Last Saturday morning, Nov.
%, 1896, at 9 o'clock, a pistol
shot and woman's S scream rung
out on the cold morning atmos-
phere in Challis, almost simulta-
neously, and Farley H. Gould
was corpse in a short time
thereafter, having shot himself
in fit of dependency.
The cause of this rash act is
probably from family troubles,
and appears to have been pre-
meditated, as Mr.. Gould and his
family have lived separately for
some two or three months, and
the home broken up, and this
thought resting heavily on his
mind had brought him on the
verge of insanity and in a state
to commit almost any rash act.
A MESSENGER reporter visited
the scene in a few moments after
the deed had been done, and
ascertained the following infor-
nation and from observations :
The deceased, Farley H. Gould,
was lying on his left side in the
snow with his head resting on a
hand-sleigh with a bullet hole
through his head, at or near the
right temple; a 3S-cal. six-shoot-
er lying close by, with one cham
Der empty. His head was clot-
ted with frozen blood and life
was extinct. He took his own
life in the front yard and near
the East door of the AL. Jinegar
house, where Mrs. Gould and
the children now reside. Mr..
Jarvis and Mr.. Tewalt heard the
shot fired and were the first
persons on the ground, outside
of Mrs. Gould and her children.
When they arrived Mr.. Gould
was still breathing but unconsci-
Gus, but the spark of life soon
fed. 1t was a CHASTITY scene,
the snow crimson with life blood
of good, hard-working citizen,
and the wife and three small
children, sobbing and crying for
one who had always been kind
to them all.
Coroner Jones summoned a
jury and held an autopsy over
the remains. The jury brought
in verdict of suicide. The
funeral was held on yesterday
afternoon, the Both, and all that
remained of Farley H. Gould
was laid to rest in the village
cemetery. We will let the man
tie of charity drop on the scene,
and not delve further into the
details which led up to this sad
and shocking affair.
Mr.. Gould has been a resident
of Challis for many years. He
came here from Utah. His age
is in the neighborhood of 35
years. Since we have known
him he has been an industrious
and well-meaning citizen. He
leaves a wife and three small
children, the Oldest not being
over 5 years of age.
