SENDS MONEY TO SICK.
..p.-AE.Nn-
Sir Thomas Upton Contributes
Ten Thousand Dollars.


NEW YORK, Aug. 2S-From Sir
Thomas Upton, the challenger for the
Americas cup, there has been received
In this city a. cable message stating
that he had contributed $4,000 for re-
llev1ng the sick and wounded American
soldiers. This dispatch was received
by Lawyer Edward A. Summer, who
some time ago established intimate
friendly relations with Sir Thomas, and
1t came in answer to a suggestion from
Mr.. Sumner that such donation
would be gratefully appreciated by the
Empire State Society of Sons of the
American Revolution, which has al
ready made an appropriation Of $1,000
for the same cause.
Mr.. Sumner expected a favorable re-
Spouse, but he did not look for so large
a benefaction, and his gratitude was
mixed with establishment when he read
the message, although he we'll remem-
bered Sir Thomas generous gift of
Sl25,O0O to the Princess Of Wales din
ner to the poor people on the occasion
Of the queens jubilee, and knew that
Sir Thomas in his own country has on
many other occasions come forward
with liberal aid for all sorts Of public
necessities.
When Sir Thomas was in New York
in June he expressed a great deal Of
solicitude for the illnesses and disease
that American soldiers and sailors
would be subjected to in Cuba, as his
business interests had made him more
or less familiar with the conditions
that he knew the warriors would have
to face. At that time he told Mr.. Sum-
ner that he would be glad to render
what assistance he could.

ANECDOTE OF wOLsELEY.
How He Helped to Clear Up a Post
office in the soudan.

From the Youths Companion.
Any one who has known what 1t Is
to wait day after day in some out Of
the world nook for letters which were
all the time safely reposing in some
neglected corner of sleepy postoffice
can appreciate the story that is told
Of Lord Wolseley by Mr.. Nourse, who
was with her majesty's forces through
the Soudan campaign.
At Korti, Nourse went into the post
office to look for some letters. The
postmaster was a native and not much
used to handwriting. He made a su-
letters and papers and said there was
nothing for the applicant Nourse
asked to see the pile of letters, and,
While he was looking them over, a man
with nothing to designate his rank
came into the Office. He took In the
situation at a glance.
Lets clear this thing out" he said.
They jumped on the counter and pro-
ceeded to clear 1t OUT by first bun
ding out the postmaster. Then they
began careful examination Of the
postoffice, and found it congested with
mail for the army. They searched ev-
cry nook and Granny, throwing the
letters for each regiment into q diff
ferent pile and heaping all the news
papers In the center or the room. linen
they went through each pile and sep
arated 1t into companies. Before night
every letter was in camp and distrib-
uted, and the next day the papers were
out.
Nourse did not know the name of
his companion in the benevolent deed,
and. when he asked. the answer was,
''They call me Charlie"
Some time after, Nourse found 1t
necessary to see the commandant, and,
sitting near the tent to which he had
been directed, he saw his companion
Of the postoffice.
Hello Charlie!" he said. I'm look
ing for the commandant. Where shall
I find him?"
"Wen," said Charlie, you won't
have to look far I'm the commandant.
Come inside and have a bite to eat and
drink
1t was Lord Wolseley.

WEALTHY VAGRANT.
Although Worth Over $4,000, He
Found His Food In Ash Barrels.

Althouzh Worth Over $4,000, He
Found His Food In Ash Barrels.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Police Judge Conlan has found Peter
Cunningham, of San Francisco. guilty
Of vagrancy. Cunningham is one Of
the most remarkable Migrants that has
ever come under the notice Of the po-
lice. 1t was shown in court that he
had deposited in local banks $4,000,
and yet the old man has for years
made it his daily habit to visit down
town saloons and restaurants to pick
from ash barrels food sufficient to keep
him alive. Cunningham was arrested
for vagrancy. He was searched at the
station house, and his pockets and
coat Innings produced g, whole basket
full Of discarded bread, cakes, pies,
meat, vegetables, toothpiclzs, pins,
needles and papers. The old man filed
a vigorous protest against arrest,
claiming that he had plenty Of money,
and that he was entitled to live as he
pleased. Bank books found in his
pocket bore out his claim of wealth,
and his added threat to have Police
man Jangford dismissed from the force
so preyed upon the officers mind that
a day or two later he committed suicide
by shooting himself

"AIRQUAKE" IN ITALY.
Many Persons Made Homeless in the
Town of Rieti.

Many Persons Made Homeless in the
- Town of Rteti.
From the New York Times.
The earthquake that took place in
the Umbrian town of Rieti on the
Velino, in Italy, the other day was ac-
companied by a phenomenon Of which
the first meager account of the shock
gave no mention. According to O cor
respondent Of the Osservatore Romano
it was not an earthquake, but an "air-
quake" The air shook or vibrated like
violently agitated liquid; great rents
were made in tall buildings and tow
ers, and walls were thrown to the
ground. The earth, however, seemed
to be undisturbed, and no shifting Of
the street pavement was noticed. From
the bishop down to the beggar, all
seemed frightened. 1t Is said that many
felt the air vibrations and were thrown
to the ground; while others were al
most suffOcated. A dense black cloud
hung over the town while the phenom-
enon was passing The church steeples,
the saving bank, the theater, and no
fewer than six palaces were more or
less wrecked as we'll as eighty or one
hundred dwellings. Five hundred tents
have been sent to the place by the
government. The people, In the mean
time, are living in hastily built huts
and in the half-ruined postoffice and
the churches. Soldiers have been sent
from Rome to the scene Of the dis
aster, and they, with the students, are
busy policing the ruins and trying to
save some Of the household goods.
King Humbert has sent $4,000 francs
from his private purse to relieve the
first necessities of the people. At the
time of the catastrophe slight earth
quake, like a shudder, was felt In
Rome. Even there, too, people say
they noticed a peculiar CONFUSION Of
| the air.

Backs of Old Books.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Prof. Caspar Rene Gregory. Of the
University of Leipsic, who is teaching
and lecturing at the University Of Chi
cago, made the discovery Of some very
old manuscript during his searches In
the library few days ago. These
were found In the backs of some books
he was examining, being used as pad
dings and to form the cardboard for
the backs. He has opened UP the backs
Of several other old volumes in the
last few days and made further finds.
Yesterday he had photographs made of
these ancient manuscripts. which he
considers very valuable Some Of the
old manuscripts are in Latin and some
In German.
Prof Gregory IS giving courses In
theology at the university this quarter,

lures. He is especially renowned as
being the only Americana by birth and
education who has ever held pro-
fessorship In a German university.

INTERNATIONAL LAW ON IT.
Spain Need Not Pay II Dynamite
Was Struggled Aboard the
YaTn

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The Herald
tomorrow will say: Frederick R. Cou-
dert, formerly counsel for the United
States before the Boring sea commits
sion, and a Well-known authority upon
international law, was interviewed re-
garding the matter of an indemnity, if
it can be shown that the Spanish au-
thorities at Havana failed to take
proper precautions to insure the safety
of the American Warship Maine.
Spain should pay indemnity for the
loss Of the Maine" Mr. Coudert said.
provided that the accident is found to
be due to the negligence of Spanish Of
ficials. The vessel went to Havana on
friendly visit and was entitled to full
protection. 1t was proper that ex-
traordinary precautions should be TAX
en- to insure her safety
1T was we'll known that there were
Individuals beloning to the Spanish ma
ton who had i'll feelings toward the
United States. If any danger was
known to exist in Havana harbor, it
was to be expected that Spain should
inform the captain OF the Maine of
the fact and use every means to pre-
vent any accident to the vessel
If, on the other hand, man with
a basket of dynamite should have
come aboard the Maine and blown I'D
the vessel, the fault plainly would have
IN tne oiiiCeIS OF the vessel. 1t
is their duty to keep the strictest
watch over everybody who comes on
board.
1.-The destruction of the Maine bv
accident or by the act of irresponsible
Individuals would not justify declar-
alton of war.
Garnet, for instanc, was assassinat-
ed by an Italian, yet France did not
blame Italy.
italian subjects were killed by a mob
several years ago at New Orleans.
Italy was justified in demanding an
indemnity, which she received, because
the men, when slain, were in charge Of
officers of the law, who should have
made every effort to prevent their
prisoners from being killed But it did
not result in war"
