SHOCK TO THE FREE AND BRAVE.

Gen. Shat:Uc Sends q "Nigger" to Annapo-
lis and Does Some ''Cussin'," Too.
Washington, April 15.-Congressman
shattuc, of Ohio, Tuesday nominated
d. J. Bundy. a coiored lad of Cincinnati,
to cadetship at Annapolis. He has
been urged to withdraw the name, but
says he will stand by the appointment.
There have been some murmurs of dis
appointement from the naval academy
and threats of the students to resign,
THE boy earned the appointment fair
ly." said General Shattuc yesterday.
There was competitive examination
and two colered lads-one of them Bum
dy-outstripped their Caucasian COM
petitors. One Of chem, however, proved
to be over 20, and was therefore dis
barred. I had told them the COMPETE
ton was open to every eligible boy in
my district. Bundy, who wen, is one of
the handsomest boys I ever saw. Yes
terday I sent his name to the secretary
of the navy and he will be appointed. I
have received no communication from
the students at Annapolis on the subject,
but several congressman have told me
that it was an unwritten law not to al
low colored boy at Annapolis.
They told me that if 1 persisted it
would break up the school, that other
students would resign.
Let them resign and be damned
replied. That boy earned his appoint
ment fairly and I'm going to see that he
goes to Annapolis and receives fair
treatment if it is in my power to do
so.'"
General Shattuc says that If the lad
is willing to subject himself to the hu-
initiation he will naturally encounter at
Annapolis, owing to his color, he (Shat-
tuc) will see him through. General
Shattuc says he has been informed that
no colored boy ever took degree at the
naval academy. General Shattuc says
he has $500 negroes in his district.

PSYCHIC SCIENCE.

Miss Anna Eva Fay at the Grand OPP
era house last night answered rather
too many questions too correctly.
There were several people in the au-
dience who wrote leading questions
on their slips which We're answered
with a fidelity very astonishing to all
but the expert in Occultism. She
was not to be OutdOne in even politi-
cal prophecy and in answer to a ques-
ton declared that Mayor Callaghan
would serve one more term as mayor
before going to Congress and that
Lieut.. Gov. Jester would be our next
governor.
To Mr.. j. T. Burnett she brought
good news and also to Mr.. Vera
Moore, clerk of the Menger hotel.
There are other pleasant features OF
the performance, especially the exhi
bitOn of the marionettes.

A WING SHOT.

Last night about IL o'clock as a
medicine company on Camden street
was breaking up their free show,
colOred youth named Billy Gabel had
a row with his girl and slapped her in
the face. She screamed and Officer
Khouri arrested the culprit. In try
ing to take his prisoner over to the
station Khouri was greatly hampered
by the crowd who were leaving the
place and Gabel broke away and ran
down Soledad street, The officer fired
four shots after him and then gave up
the chase.
Later DR.. Kenny was called up and
went to his office and found Gabel
waiting for him with flesh wound
in his shoulder, which he said was
made by the polieeman's bullet. The
wound was dressed, but the bullet
was not extracted as the wound was
merely local and not dangerous.

THE CASE WAS SUBMITTED
TO COMMISSIONER BATES
WITHOUT ARGUMENT.
Judge Bates Said That Nothing
Would Give Him More Pleasure
Than To Discharge Mr.. Bass
But That Is His Painful
Duty To Hold Him.

The Bass trial was renewed before
United States Commissioner C. L.
Bates this morning at 1880 o'clock.
United States District Attorney Cul,
berSOn stated that the government
rests and submits thecase to the court
Mr.. Aubrey, of the counsel for the de-
PENDANT, was not present, and the
court stated that it did not want to
deprive Mr.. Bass of counsel.
The government had no argument
and counsel for defendant submitted
the case to the court without argu-
ment. ThereupOn Commissioner
Bates fixed Mr.. Bass bond
at $1,000, being an increase over the
former bond, which was $4,000. Judge
Bates said:
Gentlemen don't think it would
be proper thing for me to make any
comment upon the testimony in this
case, or to express any opinion further
than may be expressed in rendering
such judgment as | may render under
the law. AS the case has been SUBJ
mitted to the court, L feel it my duty
to hold Mr. Bass, but l assure you,
gentlemen, it Is very painful. There
is nothing that would give me more
pleasure than to discharge Mr.. Bass
this morning, but l don't think that it
would be the duty that is imposed up
on me. | shall therefore bind Mr..
Bass over to answer any charge that
the grand jury may present.
Another delicate duty imposed upon
me is to fix the bond of Mr.. Bass.
With the present lights before me, gen
tlemen, | will fix Mr.. Bass bond at
5000"
Judge Bates stated that the court
would be open all day for the purpose
Of receiving Mr.. Bass bond and sug.
gested to counsel to get blank from
the marshaPs office and follow it
strictly as to justification and the con-
ditions, and as to the acknowledgment
to insert the entire charge or COM
plant in the bond.
1t was agreed that the witnesses re-
ceive compensation for today and al
so that they be placed under recOgniZ-
ance while the case is pending for
the grand jury. The United States
District court in this city meets the
third Monday in May.
Mr.. Bass stated to a Light reporter
this morning that every particle Of ties
| timOny against him will be explained
later on. He said he had no idea that
the matter would result as it has and
wishes to thank his friends for theiI
kind offers to furnish bond for him.

PRINCIPALS MAY TEACH.

1t is very likely, after the beginning
of the next term of the public schools
that the list of teachers will be some
what trimmed down in the interest of
economy. 1t has been the rule in the
past few years for the principals of
each school to merely oversee the
school work and receive reports of
class teachers, visit the classes at any
time and so forth. They were for
merly teachers as well, but not recent.
". This will all be changed, it is
thought and each principal will be re-
quired to personally have charge OF
at least one class room.

A Queer Graveyard.


I'm little hillside graveyard west of
Moorehead, Rowan county, KY. is one
of the queerest gravestones in all the
United States" remarked C. II. Mum
setter. of Willard. Ky. 1.-THE stone
marks the last resting place of Johnny
Martin. one of the principals of the
famous Rowan county war between the
Martins and Logans on the one side and
the Tollivers on the other. In the feud
more than so men were killed, and the
governor of the state at one time was
compelled to negotiate for peace with
Craig Tolliver. Martin was taken from
the officers of the law while en- route to
Lexington for safe-keeping-the Toll
yer gang later hanging him near Farm
ers and Kidding the body with bullets
But Martins friends evened up scores
by practically wiping out both feud
and the Tolliver faction on the streets
of Moorehead two years later On Mar

A Pat Hand i'm Al Big Jactcr Was
Bunchcd with Others.
81 was in a little sittin' the other night
out at a private house. Folks gone
away, and the old man here in the city.
slavin' his life away-that's what the
wimmin folks think-goin to bal
games in the afternoon, eatin' Saint
Nick dinners an handlin' the chips till
two or three a. m.
Game was progressin' right along
and gettin' sort of interestin' when a
jacker went aroun' three or four times.
Only 50-cent limit, but still the bones
in the middle of the mahogany looked
just as temptin' as a Klondike claim in
summer time. 1t went around some
more, and then it looked like two or
three claims. Ike broke it then for the
limit, of course. The old man raised
when it come his turn, and the rest of
us stayed. Bob was in, but he never
looked at his cards, said pot like that
was worth few chips. anyway. Ike
said he'd like two cards. Looked like
he had aces, an was holdin' up kick
err. Bob said one card was enough for
him. Flush, maybe. The old man
stood pat. an tod the dealer to hep his
sef. And he did, DRAWN honest and
gittin' three cards.
without lookin' at his cards after the
draw Ike pushed the limit to the center
sayin' somethin' about wishin' the
game was wide open and he'd burn tar
on us. The old man raised again. and
said he wouldn't care if the game was
thousand limit. Standin' pat. You
know, an bluffin' it through. Rest of
'em kept quiet, and put up without a
word. Not one of 'em had cold feet,
an it looked as if there would be a
few fellows borrowin' chips before
long or DRAWN down markers. And
that's how it ended, too, when every
fellow was takin' out chip or two an
kayin' owe one till the pot looked thin
and pale. Whoever win was goin' to
get the whole bank, sure. just then the
door bell rang like the house was afire.
Waterman, | reckon said the old
man. He opened the door, and ghost
walked in. Least we thought so. There
was the old mans sister, who had seen
the light from her house block away,
and she had come over to see what the
trouble was. Said she thought the old
man was sick. And he was, too, for that
pat hand of his was a king full on tens.
The ghost scared us, and the first thing
Ike did was to shove all the chips into
the box. Thought the old mans wife
had come home on the sudden.
Just having little game of whist.
Emily, and we didn't think what time
it was
emily went away as mad as a wet
hen, but the old man was madden when
he saw that the bones had been showed
out of sight, and the hands punched.
But it had to go. Told him we thought
we were to be pulled, and didn't want
any signs to incriminate us."-Cincin-

Dear summer cometh creeping
Over her earth again.
On clover meadows stark and brown,
On fields to stubble leveled down,
Her waving breath is sweeter

Her touch, like mother fingers
After ecstasy of pain.
But her passing-ah! it's fieeter
Than smile in sorrows eyes.
One mellow hour she fingers,
One tender June note tries.
Then leaves a dream to winter,
And softly sleeping, dies.

The remple In the Trees.

Like priests the shadows to and fro
In flowing raiments come and go;
The flowers bend in worship there,
And close their lovely eyes in prayer.
The silvery mist like incense lifts,
And through the silence slowly drifts;
And through the woodland from bird
threats
A hymn of praise to Heaven floats
Here, day by day. a happy throng,
The birds and flowers with prayer and song
Unite in worship, and above
With song and sweetness lift their love.
