Wheeler's Vivid Imagination.

A vivid imagination is a most desira-
BILE thing under some circumstances, but
care should be taken in the handling of
such a gift in the practical affairs Of
life. Representative Wheeler of Alaba-
ma, in his speech against the Dingley
bill last May, said that "the Wilson
bill stimulated American industries and
had contrary effect upon those of Eu-
rope" Mr.. Wheeler is veritable SEQ
ond Jules Verne, but he should follow
that well known story writer in anoth-
er way and label his remarks "fiction. F"
We only suggest this for the sake of
Mr.. Wheeler's reputation for truth and
sanity. There is no danger. whatever
that the American people will take him
seriously. They know too we'll by hard
experience what the Wilson bill did for
American industries

New York, Oct. 23.-Russell Sage
makes emphatic and specific denial of
the report that he is at the head Of an
opposition pool to buy In the Union Pa
cific railroad. THE report is absolutely
without foundation" said Sage. II have
not been invited to form Union Pacific
syndicate by President Mckinley. No
subscriptions to the amount of SIS. .000. .000
or any other sum have been made by
anybody that / know Of. l have not
subscribed 500, ,0O0.0 900 or any other sum.

by the president, but / have been asked

ests. There is so much feeling among
certain outside interests that IL may be
that some concerted action will be taken
to postpone the sale of the Union Pacific
property until all the facts are thor
oughly underctood."
Knows just Where He Is At.
There Is nothing uncertain about my
attitude in this Union Pacific affair.""
Sage continued. Il think it is due to the
people of this country that the govern
ment should get a fair return for what
1t gave the Union Pacific, and IL II shall
appear later that something different Ia
right congress should see that ii is done
Unless the president is perfectly clear
In his own mind that his legal advisers
are right In their conclusions the ques-
tion would bear postponing until con-
gress meets and can discuss it. Then the
situation will bring out what is right
and what is wrong. In the meantime I
do not care to criticise any other plan.
When a conclusion has been reached as
to what is right and what is wrong there
are capitalists enough to pay the gov
ernment its just dues, take the road, and
protect its security holders"
Didn't Tell the story, but It's So.
General Samuel w. Thomas, who was
mentioned as a member of the Sage syn
dicate, has this to say: II am not re-
sponsible for the story that an opposition
syndicate has been formed for the pur-
chase of the Union Pacific road at fore
closure sale. l do not doubt, however
that such a syndicate is contemplated
and is in process Of formation. / have
been asked to subscribe and have prom
ised to do so to the extent Of $40, 900 600
/ know nothing about any other sub
scriptions. My position regarding the
Union Pacific road is we'll known. In
my opinion il Is worth the full govern
ment debt"

CLEVELAND AT PRINCETON.
Ex-President Talks of the Right Use of Edu-
cation for Americans.

Princeton, n. j., Oct. 23.-The first an
nual exercises in commemoration Of the
day when a charter was granted to the
college of New Jersey were held yes
terday afternoon in Alexander hall Two
thousand people were present on the
occasion, which was made one of signal
Importance by the addresses of Grover
Cleveland, eX-president Of the United
States. and Lord Aberdeen, governor
general of Canada One hundred and
fifty odd years ago the province of New
Jersey granted the college, which aft
erwards assumed it's name, charter
authorizing the beginning Of the insti-
tuition of learning. which became Prince
ton university last October, and the ex-
ercises were for the two-fold purpose
OF celebrating the origin of the college
OF New Jersey and its evolution to
Princeton university.
Ex-President Clevelands address was
plea for good citizenship and the right
use of education. He said: I'VE have
seen the scholar in public life, teaching
tricks to tricksters and with the mask
of education on his face leading the
way to the lowest depths of partisan
deceit and intrigue. When direful
anarchy held possession of the proud
capital OF France and drenched her
streets in blood, education though not
absent failed to stay the fury that
decreed the horrors of those appalling
days"
In closing he said "In our public life
we may be sure that as a general rule
our servants and agents will be no bet
% 10 az 70
They may be infinitely worse through
the peoples neglect or betrayal
A just people willing to concede equal
rights and privileges to every citizen
would enforce justice In their govern
ment; a people who valued integrity
and morality would exact them in high
places; and people who love peace
would not again suffer the humiliation
OF seeing dashed from their proud
grasp the almost ripened hope Of lead
ership among the nations Of the earth
in the high mission of driving out the
cruel barbarities Of war by the advent
OF the pacific methods of international
arbitration"
President Patten delivered a brief ad-
dress OF welcome to Lord and Lady
Aberdeen and conferred upon Lord
Aberdeen the degree OF LII. d. In reply
Lord Aberdeen expressed his deep ap-
probation Of the honor conferred upon
him and eulogized the university. He
assumed that il was an honor to the
governor general Of Canada rather than
the individual, and added: "It seems
| in fact TO form great part
OF the interchange OF internation-
al courtesles which happily Is
Of frequent occurrence between Amer
lean and British Institutions But why
is 1t what we sometimes smeet simultane-
ously with other symptoms of an op-
poste character? When we meet as
individuals we experience nothing but
courtesy and hospitality. Yet public
utterances from time to time in various
quarters do not always harmonizs with
that attitude"

DROWNING OF THIRTEEN SAILORS.
Schooner Casper Wrecked on the Coast OF
the Golden State.

the 1Oluen States
Point Arena, Cal. Oct. 25.-Thirteen
seamen, comprising almost the entire
crew OF the steam schooner Casper. were
drowned early Saturday morning by the
wreck of the vessel. Two men from
shore who had gone out In a small boat
torescue any OF the crew who might still
be alive picked up Captain .Afindseon and
Seaman Chris Larsen. who had been
floating about on an impromptu raft for
over fourteen hours. To his rescuers
the captain of the wrecked steamer said
that the Casper struck on reef at
1890 in the morning. and seven min
utes later capsized. When she tipped
over all the members Of the crew were
washed overheard.
The steamer carried fifteen men. but
from the moment the accident occurred
the captain had seen none Of the crew
no doubt that the other thirteen have
all been drowned. When thrown into
the water Anfindsen and Larsen by
good fortune were able to raft some
pieces of floating timbers. They sue
ceeded in drawing the boards together
and clung to this improvised raft from
the time OF the accident until late in
the afternoon. while the storm beat
about them, the whole being exposed
to the most furious gale of the season.
They had almost succumbed from cold,
exposure and exhaustion, and were with
difficulty saved by their rescuers

THREE CREMATED, SEVEN INJURED
Fire Destroys a Hotel i'm the Pennsylvania
Petroleum Region.

Oil City, Pa, Oct. 25.-Three persons
were burned to death and seven more
were severely injured in fire that de-
stroyed the Hotel Brooklyn at Kellct-
VILE, twenty-five miles southeast of Oil
City, yesterday morning early. The
building was three-story one, roughly
built of double boards, and burned like
tinder. There were seventeen persons
asleep in the hotel. The fire originated
on the second floor Of the building, and
shut off all retreat from the rooms on
the floors above. Six men on the Sec
ond floor and five on the third, saved
themselves by jumping from the win
dows to the ground below.
Those killed are: Professor Tucker,
aged about 65 years, supposed to have
come from Sewickley, near Pittsburg;
Andrew Salsgiver. of Tionesta, a mail
carrier; Miss Kate Miller, of Kellet-
vile. Miss Emma Kiser, a teacher in the
Kelletville schools, may die from burns
and other injuries. What remained of
the bodies of Tucker and Salsgiver was
not enough to fill an ordinary cigar box.
The fire is supposed to have originated
by Professor Tucker knocking over a
lamp in his bed room. as he had the
tootache and used the lamp FOR making
hot applications.

Des Moines. Ia, Oct. 23.-The su-

& Co. VS.. Manuel Reinhart, brought up
from Cass district court, declares that
contracts for grain where the intention
is merely speculation on the chances of
rise or fall OF the market, and no deliv-
cry is intended, are gambling contracts
and void. IT is not enough to render
the contract void that the buyer in
tends it as a gambling contract, unless
