noon public reception at the white
house, which began at 5 o'clock, was
largely attended. Between 1900 and

cred high above the head of the presi-
dent. When the latter looked up In
surprise at this remarkable specimen of
humanity and the giant leaned down to
grasp the presidents hand the people
in the East room began laughing and
kept 1t up for some time. The presi-
dent saw the funny side of the meeting
and joined in. Then everyone laughed
Although the reception was a very
pleasant affair, no one seemed to en-
joy it more than the man who had to
do all the work.
Senators Hanna, Foraker Brice and
Kyle We're the principal callers during
the afternoon.
Captain j. A. Palmer, secretary to
ex-Queen Liluiokalani says that
neither the eX-queen nor any member

PRTDEs or OUR. NAVY.
Splendid Work Performed by the San
Francisco ard the New York.

Francisco ard the New York.
Washington, March 12-Gratifying
reports have been received at the navy
department of the speed of two of the
finest fagships of the navy under ordi-
nary service conditions-the New York
of the home station, and the San Fran
cisco of the European squadron The
San Francisco after her recent docking
and cleaning at Genoa, according to a
report transmitted by Admiral Sell
fridge, had a run in the Mediterranean
maintaining a speed slightly in excess
of Is knots for the period of ten hours,
the record speed of the vessel for the
four-hour burst had been 1880 knots
this with picked coal and crew and
extreme forced draught
The performance of the San Francisco
in covering over 1S0 knots in ten hours
under service conditions with only
slight air pressure is most gratifying
to Engineer-in-Ch Chief Melville, as is the
report from Captain Schley of the New
York, which recites that the New York,
Hampton Roads to New York, kept up
an 18-knot gait for four hours off the
Jersey coast. This was accomplished
wholly under natural draught and with
foul hull. Captain Schley expresses
the conviction that the New York can
make q knots over long distances
whenever haste Is required.

PROFESSOR L4DD no TEACHERS.
His Lecture at College Street Hall Last
Evening.


AT College street han, last evening,
Professor George T. Ladd of Yale de-
liVered a lecture in the teachers
course on Moral Qualifications and
Functions of the Teacher,
Professor Ladd emphasized the value
of sincerity vivid magnetism, SYM
pathy and geniality to the teacher. He
said that the knowledge impaired to a
pupil should never be considered for
itself, but the real value lies in the
fact that the pupil taught to handle
himself. He said that in order to teach
successfully it was necessary to interest
the pupil in gaining knowledge and in
the work of the school. The teacher
who has a defective imagination he
characterized as most unfortunate. The
imagination of the teacher must be so
cultivated that he can put himself in
the pupils place. The sympathy and
generosity of the teacher must be tenn
pered with dignity and discretion. In
closing, Professor Ladd said: Make q
great deal of yourself. Don't put on
airs, but do what you can for your own
selfhood. 1t is the greatest thing you
have got Beautify and elevate it.
Give that self thus greatened and dig
nified, generously, lavishly to your
work. which is with it all.
There is no other calling or profess
sion that makes such eXactions on the
moral character as do that of the
teacher, and l hope to see the day
when teaching is put on a plane, as it
ought to be, with the three other so
called learned professions. 1t is the
greatest and most important of all,

Dying Woman Cuts on the Suspected
Girl in Her VIII.

connection with the attempted murder
of Mrs. Catherine Bragg presented it
self to-day in the disappearance of $lO-
600 worth of diamonds supposed to have
been concealed in the fiat where the
mysterious shooting had occurred

rested on suspicion of being concerned
the shooting, is the legitimate daughter
of Ernest j. Parker Of Lynn, Mass
She was legally adopted by Mr. and
Mrs. Bragg when she was three weeks
old Mrs. Bragg, it is said, has request
ed that the father be required to take
charge of his child. Mrs. Bragg's con-
dition is unchanged.
The police tonight found the missing
diamonds at pawn shops where Mrs
Bragg herself had placed them The
mystery surrounding the shooting is as
vet unexplained Josephine was re-
leased this afternoon, She was first
taken before her foster mother and
much that occurred there led to belief
in the police theory that the
daughter really shot the woman. She
declares, however, that she is inno-
cent, and Mrs Bragg, if she knows,
as the police say she does, will not be-
try the secret Of the shooting.
Mrs. Bragg this afternoon sent for
her lawyer and a new will was drafted.
This leaves Josephine but $25. BY it
the remainder of the property is be-
queathed to Mrs. Bragg's two brothers.
The girl left the hospital with a man
named Rogers The police will not ar
rest her again unless Mrs. Bragg dies.

in Chicago child was born to them.
For several weeks Mrs. Parker was in
a hospital here and when they return
ed to Massachusetts the child was left
in Chicago.
THE birth was kept a secret" said
Mrs. Bragg, "and only three persons in
Chicago what had become of the infant.
They were Mr.. Bragg, myself and a
nurse. The child was adopted into the
Bragg family. Josephine's father and
mother have seen her but once since
then and at that time looked upon their
daughter from a window across the
street When Josephine had attained
| the age of five and was able to un-
derstand the nurse began to impose
| blackmail on her foster parents. The
amounts demanded, however, We're be-
| coming larger as the girl grew in
years and four years ago Mr.. and Mrs,
| Parker were asked to come to Chicago
and make final settlement with the
| woman. They did come and that is the
/ time when they looked upon their
daughter from window opposite the
| Bragg residence. From that time the
nurse ceased her demands"

DECREASE IN IMMIGRArIoN.
For the Past Seven Months Number Has
Fallen OFF 45.625.

Washington, March 12.-There has
been a decrease in immigration during
the past seven months compared with
the same period of last year, of 45,525.
Commissioner Stump explains5 the de-
crease as follows:
THE many deportations and strict
examinations Of the immigrants have
caused a large increase of immigration
from Europe to Brazil, Argentine Re-
public and other South American coun-
tries. where inducements are held out
for their migration. Italian immigra-
tion will be seriously checked by the
proclamation of the Marquis di Rudini,
minister of the interior, warning unde-
sirable classes from embarkation and
refusing passports.
