ago by Vice Chancellor Reed. Wife No.
2, whom he married after securing the di
vorce, has left Trenton. and is understood
to be living at hotel in this city.
For some time Wife No. 2 lived with

Mcgowan was one of the most success
full men, socially and politically, in Tren-
ton. He is only thirty-nine years old. He
early secured brilliant success in business.
He was elected mayor for two consecu-
tive terms, made a splendid record, and
made a close run for the governorship.
In public and private his character was
irreproachable until, in 1894, he met Mrs.
Helen Barnes, and was instantly infatu-
ated. He and Mrs. Barnes, late In 1896.

With the change in his marital. copdi-
tion, financial reverses came and Magow-
ans losses were constan, and heavy. So
cial ostracism, too. came to him, and in
their great mansion he and wife No.
were left alone. Then began the first
wife's struggle to prove that she was still
the mayors only lawful partner.
So serious did Magowans financial
difficulties become that most of his prop
erty was sold to satisfy his debts. He
came to New York for time, and expert
mented unsuccessfully with brokerage.
Then he went back to Trenton and tried
in vain to form stock company from

MISSIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
PIesby terians Propose n Conference
With other Churches.

New York. May 2l.-The committee on
China and the executive council of the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions,
to which was referred the expediency of
opening missionary work in the Philip
pine Islands, reported yesterday. saying
in part:
I'VE feel that the political and military
relations into which the United States
has been so strangely forced with refer
ence to the Philippine Islands, and also
to Cuba and to Porto Rico. involve GER
tain moral and religious responsibilities
responsibilities which are, perhaps, quite
the political relationship which may
hereafter be formed with them-and that
the Christian people of America should
Immediately and prayerfully consider the
duty of entering the door which God in
His providence is thus opening. 1t is
only fair to presume that this sentiment
is not peculiar to Presbyterians. Indeed,
there are rumors that the foreign mis-
sions boards of other churches are dis
posed to consider the question of their
relation to these opening fields. We be-
lieve that the new situation thus provi-
dentially forced upon us affords an ex-
cellent opportunity, not only for begin
ming this work. but for beginning it right
from the view point of Christian fellow
ship and the economical use of men and
money.
ITO this end we recommend that the
executive council be directed to hold an
early conference with the representatives
of the American Board. the Baptist Mis-
sionary Union, the Missionary Society of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, the
Board of Foreign and Domestic Missions
of the Protestant Episcopal Church and
the Board of Foreign Missions of Amer
ica with a view to frank and mutual
understanding as to the responsibilities
of American Christians to the people of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine ISL
ands. and an agreement as to the most
effective distribution of the work among
the several boards. if 1t shall be found
expedient and practicable to undertake
it," .za.-s;i..st -,lss
The report was submitted to the Board
of Foreign Missions at its regular meet
ing, at No. 15s Fifth Avenue, and was
accepted.

of A to Is, disclosed the relative strength
of the annexation and opposition forces
in connection with the Newiands Hawai-
ian resolution. 1t demoralized the OBJ

of the measure a certainty. The country
is practically unanimous for annexation
and anxious that the majority in the
Senate should use every legitimate effort
to expedite it.

NAMES OF WARSHIPS.
A Torpedo Boat VIII Re Called the
BaEley

In honor of seven States and in COM
memoration of heroes of the American
Navy, Secretary Long has formally as
signed names to thirty-five of the thirty
six vessels whose construction was re-
Gently authorized by Congress.
In accordance with the provision of the
law in regard to the construction of the
three battleships. one of the ships, now
known as No. 10, has been named the
Maine. in honor of the Pine Tree State
and in memory of the second-class bat
tleship which lies embedded in the mud
of Havana harbor.
Battleship No. II will hereafter be
known as the Missouri. which. up to this
time. has no representative in the Navy.
and No. IL the Ohio. The selection of the
Buckeye States name is intended as
compliment to the President. Senator
Mark Hanna was also interested in hav-
ing battleship named after his native
State.
Besides naming the battleships after
States, Secretary Long conferred the
names of States upon the four monitors
which will be built. Arkansas, Connect
icut. Florida and Wyoming are thus hon.
ored.
Carrying out the policy of naming YES
sells of the torpedo boat class after naval
heroes, Secretary Long selected names
from among the list of the most distin-
guished naval officers of the United
States. A melancholy tribute to the
bravery of young Bagley. the executive
officer of the torpedo boat Winslow. who
was killed in the fight at Cardenas was
paid by the decision of the Secretary to
christen torpedo boat No. "a in his honor
In commemoration of the heroism dis
played by the bluejackets of the Revolu-
tionary War. Secretary Long gave the
names of Paul Jones and Dale to tor
pedo boat destroyers. Destroyers have
already been named Barry. Preble, Trux-
ton and Decatur, after men who distin-
guished themselves in the Tripolitan war;
Hull. Lawrence, Bainbridge and Mac
donough, for the heroes of the war OF
1872; Worden. for the man who fought the
monitor in the War of the Revolution. and
Whipple. Stewart, Chauncey and Hop
kins, for the men whose naval records
make bright pages in the history of
their country.
The list of names selected for torpedo
boats is equally rich in names synony-
nous with bravery. Besides Bagley, tor
pedo boats will be named Barney. Bid
die. Blakely. De Long. Nicholson. O'Brien,
Shubrick, Stockton. Thornton and Wilkes
De Long was the commander of the
Jeanette relief expedition. and died in
Siberia, notwithstanding the heroic at
tempt made by Engineer-in-Chief Mel
vile. member of the expedition, to res
cue him.

as the cargo. This Is great streak of
good luck for the ST. Louis. Since being
in commission she cut the cable OF Porto
Rico. of Haiti at Santiago. and has now
secured this prize.
Christfnn Work in the Navy.
Secretary Long has granted permission
to the Army Christian Commission of
the Young Mems Christian Association to
take up the same work in the Navy that
it has been prosecuting in the Army
camps and orders were at once wired to
Key West to rent and furnish quarters
there. The Secretary gave to w. b. Mil
lar. secretary of the Army branch of the
international committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association, letter IN
Producing him to commanders of vessels
in the Navy and requesting them to af
ford him such facilities for conducting
religious work on board their vessels as
they may find practicable.
Secretary Long also authorized the
Rev. c. A. Curtis, of Drew Theological
Seminary to be received on board the
Badger as passenger. to do work in the
name of the commission. He also gave
permission to the commandant of the
naval base at Key West to allow the
secretary of the commission TO erect a
tent and hold services.
The commission has authorized the rent
ing of a three-story building that was for
merly cigar factory at Key West. 1t
is in a fine situation. being opposite the
main naval iarding. and so prominent
that the church flag flying from its staff
can be seen by ships in the harbor. The
instructions were to lit up the building
similar TO the tents at the Army camps,
and there We're sent from here by express
! .Oo0 hymn books. 500 Testaments. games,
an organ and 10000 letter heads. with
envelopes. The representative in charge
at Key West is r. E. Steele, a former
secretary of an association in the West.
and competent and discreet man.
A letter received from him yesterday
morning said that ships in Key West
harbor were coming and going constant
ly. but at the moment the Miantonomoh,
the Puritan the Annapolis. the Castine.
Machias, Wasp. Eagle. Lancaster. Amphi-
trite. Indiana. Cushing, Blake. Mayflower

there are $50 machinists at work there.

contain some beds for use in an emergen-

tion a sloop that is big enough to go to
the furthest ship in the harbor and dis
tribute Testaments. for which there is
an urgent demand.
The evening times., 1898-06-21

The necessity, as the war authorities
view it, to make all our movements in
Cuba and Porto Rico in heavy force, add
ed to the consideration that We shall re-
qure many troops for coast defense, Is
likely to lead to an early call for 100000
additional volunteers, which will prob
ably be issued as soon the men under
the second call are ready for service. The
Administration apparently feels that for
eign interference will be less likely if we
can present the front of a large, effective
army than otherwise, and attacks upon
the enemy in irresistible numbers should
tend to bring the war to a close all the
sooner.

md Dies.


New York, June 2--In the destruction

in a few minutes Miller would have been
overcome.

could seize from the back of chair and.
calling to the dog, dashed out into the
air.
A bridge leads from Riverside Park to
the boathouse. Miller, after running ou.
on 1t, turned, and. not seeing the dog.
ran back 10 the house The building was
in a mass of flames. but through the
blazing doorway Miller could see the
dog suffocating on the floor. He could
not enter the ROOM so he ran ashore and
sent in fire alarm. The house had burn
ed to the waters edge by the TIME the
iiremen arrived.
There was an entertainment in the hCct-
house Sunday night and some of TIA
guests did not leave until O'clock. 1t is
supposed that a cigar was left shoulder
ing and that 1t set fire to the building.
Several boats and shells were destroyed
and the loss was 5000.
Miller wept over the death OF his dog.

ANGEL OF MERCY A FoReER.
Mrs. Copeland's Crimes Come to
Light After Her Death


Light After Her Death.
Marathon, N. Y, June 2l.-A week ago
this village bewailed the death of Mrs.
Martha Copeland She was in the advance
of all philanthropic enterprises, foremost
in religious work, sympathetic and unre-
mitting at the sick bed and good to the
unfortunate-a veritable angel of mercy.
She was the widow of George W. Cope
land, a well-known man, who died four
years ago. Since that time she and Mrs.
Mary r. Hurlbert. also a widow and the
richest woman in Marathon, had lived to-
gether and were like sisters
Mrs. Copeland had the village millinery
store and apparently did a fourishing
trade For long time she was president
OF the local Womans Relief Corps an ac-
tive member of Marathon Chapter of the
Eastern Star and of the Royal Templars.
Her illness. which was from heart trou-
Bile, was brief, and she was impressed that
it would be fatal, and expressed great
anxiety for the welfare of the employees
of her store.
After her death the village paper printed
long eulogy, saying: mo other woman
has more impressed herself on the place
and it's welfare" Her pastor preached a
sermon intended to illustrate her life from
the text: Whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with thy might and over her
grave the tender ritual of the Eastern
Star was said.
few days after the funeral notes given
by Mrs. Copeland and indorsed by Mrs
Huribert began to pour in. Mrs. Huribert
declares her signature to be forgery in
every case. The notes are mostly held by
women of the village and vary in amount
from so to $3.50 Up to this time thirty
have been presented. aggregating $3.50.
and there are others out which will bring
the total up to 5000.
For long time Mrs Copeland had been
going to Binghamton once 4 week. and it
is learned that all the forged paper was
discounted there.

Gen. Agunaldo has the wife and chill
dren of Capt. Gen. Augustin as prisoners.
Augustin has asked him for their release
which has been refused in a letter. the
contents of which the Philippine leader
will not disclose. But he remarks tha,
he does not believe his enemy will mur-
der any more non-combatant natives in
Manila. The captives are being well
treated at Cavite, where it may be con-
sidered certain Admiral Dewey will not
allow anything unpleasant to happen TO
them. The truly Spanish idea of holding
hostages seems TO have penetrated the
receptive minds of the Philippine natives
