TALES OF THE DAY.
Opening Court In Kansas In Early

Exchange. In the early days of Kan
sas when the state was divided into nine
districts instead of 20, Judge William
Brown presided over the Ninth judicial
district. which took in all the territory
from Marion county TO Colorado on the
west and the Indian Territory on the
south. The judges district was bigger
than the state of Massachusetts. and. be-
sides calling for several thousand miles of
travel by stage every year, embraced

ratio Statesman.
sam Francisco Chronicle: The career
of ex-senator Jones was a strange one,
He was born in Ireland in 1884, but
came to this country with his widowed
mother when only 10 years of age
While learning a trade he showed 4
decided tas4e, for culture and self
Improvement, in which he was greatly
assisted by q friendly minister, who
recognized his ability ard directed his
studies. Mr.. Jones moved from place
to place in the south before settling at
Pensacola. Fla. in 1854. There he
studied law and in 1857 was admitted
to tlle bar.
During the war he was a friendless
young lawyer in Florida. He cared
nothing for the southern cause. but
saw no reason why he should declare
himself a Union man, SO struggled
along until peace came, and then his
abilities as a lawyer began to be recOg-
nized. In 1874 ne was elected senator
from Florida. He started in with three
votes and was then taken UP as a
compromise candidate and elected. He
was then regarded as the dblest man
in the state.
Jones was a great egotist and not a
little vain. He considered himself a
great constitutional lawyer and al
ways wanted a place ON the judiciary
committee While in the senate, but his
ambition was never gratified. 1t is
said of him that during his term he
was never consulted about the appoint-
ment of a single postmaster even in
his own state.
During the summer of 1889 Senator
Jones met Mayor Thompson of Detroit

Captain o'Neil Reports Against Z

Government Arnor Plant.
Washington, Oct 23-The annual
report of Captain Charles O'Neil, chief
Of the naval ordnance bureau. shows
that out of 735 great guns authorized
by congress, the bureau up TO date
of manufacture. The conversion of
the ordinary six inch guns into rapid
firing guns has begun, eight having
been completed and 10 more are in
process of construction. AS it Will re-
Quire six months to convert each lot
of a dozen guns at the gun factory the
bureau recommends very strongly that
the work of converting all of these six
inch guns be pushed with expedition
and therefore submits a special esd-
mate of $25 600 for the eXuenses
thereof. For supplying batteries for
auxiliary cruisers an urgent estimate
of $500, 900 is submitted.
Under the head of armor Captain
O'Neil says that the government can
purchase armor much cheaper than
1T can manufacture and regards the
making of arInOr as a proper adjunct
of a great commercial steel plant
Foreign practice is said to confirm this
view and even should the department
acquire a plant of its own the chances
are, the report says, that it would be
at a great cost and that it would lie
idle a, large part of the time and thus
suffering deterioration and the ex-
pense of operating it when needed
would more than offset any adyant-
ages gained by such ownership. In
concluding his report Captain O'Neil
recommends that the government own

HOBBIES OF A FAMOUS CHEMIST
TO PREVENT THE DESTRUCTIVE
EFFECTS OF FIRE AND WATER
Window Curtains, Dress Fabrics and
Many Other Things in General
Use Rendered Ncn-Inhammable
By Chemical Treatment = Thea
tiers Could Not Burn Up If So
Treated.

Or. Ogden DoremUs. tla famous pro-
lessor of chemistry at Bellevue medical
college and at the college of the city of
New York, has at least two scientific
hobbies that might probably be adopted
BY the general public. One Of Ghese Is the
belief that window curtains. dress fabrics
and many other things in genelal USE
should receive chemical treatment to make
them nou-innammable; the other the con-
Viction that dwelling houses and particu-
iariy hospitals. should be provided with
modern apparatus for keeping their rooms
cool IN summer. quite as generally as with
ue4IIAg apparatus for the winter.
Inc first of these topics was brought
10 the attention Of Prof DOremus many
years ago by a sad Tragedy that occurred
IN his oWn family. one OF h1s children, a
little boy of three, while playing with a
candle. set fire To its dress and was
burned to death, despite the frantic efforts
o. rs parents, before their very eyes.

A BITTER Personal SPEECH.
Senator Chipley Made a Sensational
Statement In Florida Senate.


Tallahassee, Fla, May pa sensa-
tional outcome of the bitter contest over
the election of the United States senator
appeared in the senate this afternoon
when Senator Chipley of Pensacola, ris-
ing TO, question of personal privilege,
read the following statement:
~ am reliably informed that a men,
Der of the legislature of Florida holds in
his possession a letter addressed to me
which l have never seen or read.
Il am further informed that the pres
ent unauthorized holder of my prop
erty has shown said letter to members
of this legislature for the purpose of
doing me an injustice, and he said to
others that he had such letter and that
it would iniure me.
THE letter, now Illegally held by a
member of this legislature, was written
to me by friend in Jacksonville, under
the sacred confidence of close and
intimate correspondence between friends.
THE letter was written to me by my
friend, placed under the protection of a
United States postage stamp and then
placed in the writer's pocket that he
might mail it. During the night the pri-
vate home of my friend was invaded by
burglars and he was robbed of money
and clothes and also of the letter adj
dressed TO myself, which was in his
pocket.
In all ages thief has been despised
and execrated by honest men, yet there
is lower and viler criminal than a thief
for a thief at least has the nerve to risl,
his life when invading his sleeping vic
| TINS home. but the beneficiary of the
theft who securely receives the stolen
goods to his own profit or to further his
own interest and purposes is recognized
by the law and the judgment of all hon
est and bravest men as a worse and
more dangerous criminal than the
| cringing thief himself.
Il protest against this unlawful posses
sion of my property by member of this
legislature. protest against the nefari
Gus and secret use of that letter in an
effort to impair my usefulness and de
| fame my character as senator. l state
upon reliable information and believe the
person who holds and uses the said letter
as above set forth is j. n. G.. Stockton, O
member of this house of Representatives
from Duval county. l ask to have thi,
statement and protest spread upon the
minutes of the session."
Immediately following the reading Of
the document Senator Hartbridge moved
that it be spread upon the journal of tn,
senate, and the motion was. carried
unanimously.

Cabinet Again discussed Cuba.

Cabinet Again Discussed Cuba.
Washington, May 25.-The cabinet
again gave most of its time to the dis
cussion of Cuba. including not only the
methods of distribution of relief to the
distressed Americans in the island, but
also the general subject of the insurrec-
ton. AS to the latter the proceedings
were confined entirely to discussion. and
it was not attempted to outline any def
mite plan of procedure at this juncture.
Everything appears to depend upon the
conclusions that are reached by Mr.. Cal
houn, and, realizing that they are de-
pendent for a fair statement of the actu-
al conditions in Cuba entirely upon that
agent, the members of the cabinet are in
disposed to bind themselves to any line of
action in advance.
Assistant Secretary Day, who is
charged with the execution of the presi-
dents wishes respecting the relief meas
ures had long interview with President
Mckinley at, the White House this after
noon just after the cabinet meeting. The
conclusion was reached that. having adj
vanced Consul General Lee funds to meet
all probable immediate necessities there
was no opportunity for the adoption of
further steps until he had been heard
from.
