TO BUILD THE ABBEY
1T WILL PROBABLY BE LOCATED
NEAR THE DAVIS MANSION
PLANS THAT HlYE BEEN SUGGESTED
Disappointed cities Promise Donn-
housewife Nr. Rouss Impose Com
ditions:-C. NJ s. to Meet Early IA
September.

The announcement that the Board Of
Trustees had unanimously decided 10 re-
commend that the Battle Abbey. or Con-
| federate Memorial Institute. be located in
I Richmond came almost as a surprise n
! the ladies of tho Confederate Memorial
, Literary Society. In spite Of the effort
! that was made 10 win the prize. II was
feared that the financial inducements held
out by some other cities would outweigh
the fact that Richmond has already spent
$4,000 in Confederate memorials.
And now the question is, Where will the
Battle Abbey be placed? Some time ago
a suggestion was made. and received with
favor, that the Battle Abbey and the
Davis monument should be combined IN
one building. 20 be erected In the rear OF
the Davis Mansion, now the Confederate
Museum. Plans were drawn for this
building by Mr.. Edgerton Rogers. under
the advice Of members of the Davis Mon-
ument Association. and Colonel Cutshav.
That plan, which had much TO recon-
mend IT, will not be carried out. since Mr..
Davis objected to this situation for the
memorial to her husband.
THE PROBABLE LOCATION.
1t is more than likely. however. that the
Abbey at least will be placed on the lot
to the south OF the Museum. IL is pro-
posed 10 spend $4,000 on the building.
and TO endow ii with a similar sum All
these details will be arranged at the
meetings Of the c. NJ. s., which will be
held this autumn. When the association
held its last meeting in June. IT, was re-
solved not to meet again until September
and as so many OF the members are out
Of town, 1t is scarcely probable that
special meeting will be called 10 consider
the matter before that time. at oil events
no such intimation has yet been received
by the secretary from the president.
OTHER CITIES WILL GIVE.
particularly gratifying feature OF the
affair is that some OF the cities which
made bids for the Abbey have declared
their intention TO donate the money they
have raised by subscription 10 Richmond.
New Orleans was first in the field with the
offer Of her 5000. and II Is thought that
the example will be pretty generally fol-
lowed.
That the Abbey will be made an accom-
plshed fact goes without saying, ami no
time will be lost by the society that will
have 1t in charge in arranging preliminary
details.

A Suspicious Coming Together

HIKING A CORNER IN COAL
Everything Bought Fro.l the
 Suez Canal to Siberia
The Golfers Are Met Far Out at Sea and AIlured by Gilt Edge Prices. The Japanese Are Not Being Tempted.

Tacoma, Wash, March 20.-Offioers of the Northern Pacific steamship Vic toria, which arrived last night from China and Japan, report that the Brit ish government is massing a very powerful fleet of warships in Chinese waters and the British are buying all the coal coming to those waters for their men-of-war. So anxious are they to get it that they send vessels to sea and there halt the colliers and bargain for their cargoes, paying gilt edge prices if necessary.
 The British are said to be buying all the available coal from the Suez canal to the northern coast of Siberia, as they do not want to use Japanese coal. Purser Mcdonald says there are now thirty-five or forty British warships in the China station.

Topeka, Kan, March 20.-A. D. Hubbard, who gained considerable no toriety two years ago as president of the A. P. A. of Kansas, and who sub sequently got into trouble over his receivership of the Hamilton Printing company, quietly left for Paris few days ago, and it is stated by some of his friends here that he will organize an Catholic society in Europe. Hubbard himself gave it out that he was going to Paris as correspondent for New York newspapers. Two months ago Hubbard was released from the county jail, where he had been imprisoned six months for em- bezzling $S,000 of the funds of the Ham ilton Printing company while he was it's receiver.

 This foundation of the F'ranciscans is a new departure in Catholic educa- tional institutions. Friar Godfrey Schilling, a native of Prussia, will be the prior. Its superior will be the Catholic custodian of the Holy Sepul- chre at Jerusalem. The novices will be drawn from the countries of Bel gium, Austria Italy, and Spain. They will be educated as missionaries for South America, Africa and the Holy Land. The cornerstone will be laid by Mgr Martinelli some time in May. Immediately after this ceremony Friar Schilling will go to Europe to select an able corps of teachers from the Fran ciscan order The scholastic work will begin on Oct. 1.

THE MISTAKES OF GARDINER.
The Last One Was Rectified in Kanga-
 roo Court.

Fred Gardiner, a 250-pound colored sport, entered upon an unbroken series of mistakes soon after midnight yes terday. His first was getting drunk
 after which he created a disturbance of such huge dimensions that it at tracted the notice of deputy sheriff. Gardiner was taken to jail. Before being searched he unwisely concealed a dollar in his shoe and took it into the jail with him. When he was turned inside his manner was So boisterous that all the other persons were awakened and remonstrated with him, whereupon Gardiner erred again in swearing at them and calling them bad names. They swore at him in return and told him his troubles would begin 1mmedi- ately after breakfast When he was put into a cell and took off his shoes the dollar fell out on the ce- ment with clangor that resounded throughout the prison and made every inmate sit bolt upright. This was an other unfortunate circumstance
 No special notice was taken of Gar diner until after breakfast, and then the kangaroo court was convened and the formal charge of breaking into jail and disturbing the peace, quiet and dignity of the inhabitants was read to Gardiner, to all of which he pleaded not guilty. He was in an ugly and surly mood, but the trial was conduct ed decorously and he was convicted and fined $1. He said he had no money; that it had been taken from him in the office The jailor was called and he said that no money had been found on Gardiner The pro- ceedings were resumed, and half the jail swore that the falling of the money had been heard. Gardiner backed away into corner of the cor ridor and swore defiantly. The jail off, cials knowing by experience that the decrees of the kangaroo court are ex- ecuted decently and in order, walked out into the plaza to enjoy the crisp Sabbath morning air. There was a i terrific uprOar in jail during the next three minutes. Gardiner had been guilty of another mistake, but he was soon set right and all was quiet. One man, if he be never so strong, cannot contend very long against thirty-three. The fine was satisfied, so was the court and every body else but Gardiner.

WHAT IS FRANCE UP TO?
Warlike Haste in the Mobilization of
 the French Navy.

Paris, March 20.-The Aurore today afirms that the French fleet is being prepared for mobilization, adding that feverish anxiety prevails at all arse nals and shipyards, which are working until 10 o'clock at night. The Aurore says the French northern squadron at Cherbourg is ready for immediate de- parture. The ships, it appears, are being swung during the night, at Cherbourg, for the adjustment of their compasses.
 Finally, it is asserted, that in order to complete the necessary number of officers, second year students are to be appointed midshipmen, and all the ad- mirals have been instructed to arrange to reach Paris within twenty-four hours after being summoned.
 The Aurore explains that the mobi- lization is connected with preparations to support Russia by naval demonstra- tion in the far east.

 The passengers on the Negus ex- pected to meet the ThurstOn here. The Thurston carried nineteen passengers, among whom are Mrs. N Dowles, the only lady passenger, and the son of a New York brewer named Mills.

DISCLOSURE OF DISPOSITION.
How Disease Wastes Away the Masks
 of Human Character.

Judge James Winger of Wisconsin, who is spending the winter in Phoenix, is working most assiduously on his new book, Life Among the Lungers, :" of which notice was published in these columns not long ago. Judge Winger's contract with his publishers does not require so great expedition, but he finds that as the summer approaches a great deal of his material is slipping away from him, some of it returning east and north and some of it going in still another direction. He will leave this week for Mcdowell in order that he may pursue his labors without in terruption. He completed the thirty second chapter yesterday. The volume will contain forty-two. The following extract is made from the twenty-sev- enth, which treats of Effect of Dis ease Upon the Disposition:
 ''The title may be misleading. for disease has no effect whatever upon the human disposition, which l hold to be unchangeable. Disease exposes those latent qualities, good or bad, by wasting away their masks as it does the tissues of the body. Thus near the period of dissolution beautiful traits of character, patience and gen. tleness almost angelic, are disclosed in some. In others, the sloughing of lays bare peevishness and selfish ness which health had completely hid den. There are more selfish than an
 gelic folks in this world, hence large majority of people seem to grow selfish and disagreeable under wasting disease. They do not grow
 so as a matter of fact. They merely become no longer able to conceal those unfortunate qualities with which they were primarily endowed"
 Judge Winger here introduces sev- eral incidents in illustration of this theory of character disclosure. Says he: "I was sitting in the court house plaza at Phoenix one day talking to a young man, an invalid, whom I had known in the east as a healthy, jovial young business man, the idol of his friends and the admiration of all his acquaintances. He was sent to Phoe- nix late in the fall of 1897 with what he described as "a little throat trou- ble.' His physician told me soon after he came that his ailment was a we'll seated case of tuberculosis But the young man frequently spoke of the integrity of his lungs and inveighed constantly against his throat and the rest of his anatomy. He had grown extremely disa ~rneohle and rrofana

KILLED BY A FELLOW PRISONER.
Captain of a Gang of Horse Thieves
 Meets Death in Jail.

Springfield, March 20.-Henry Tur- ner, who was in jail at Hartville, Wright county, Mo, was killed last night by Green Barnes, fellow pris- oner. Turner was waiting to be taken to the penitentiary to serve a sentence of five years for horse stealing. The particulars of the murder are ne. known here. Turner was the captain of a band of horse thieves who have long terrorized the people of Wright and adjoining counties. There are fixyJ indictments pending in the Wright county courts against men who are supposed to have had some con- nection with his gang.
