Will Be the Dedication of st. An
thongs Hospital in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-The most imposing
pageant the Roman Catholic church in

Mr.. Maxim arrived from England last

BIG CANAL SCANDAL.
Another Chance For the Lexow Com
mittee in New York.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Boodle methods,
extravaganza and incompetence in re
gard to the expenditure of the sums
appropriated for canal improvement
work in New York state have been
traced to the inner circle of the RepUb-
hcan governors official family, and the
man whose Investigations have been
largely instrumental in placing the re-
sponsibility where it belongs is the Chi
cago engineer and expert on canalwOrk,
Lyman E. Cooley.
The report made by Mr.. Cooley and
his associate, Edward P. North CT
Brooklyn, on the canal work accom-
plished for the 49, 900 appropriation
so severely arraigns the Republican Of
ficials that Governor Black is credited
with the harboring of a design to with
hold the document from publication.
For years Mr.. Cooley was the con-
trolling spirit in Chicago's greatest en-
gineering feat, the drainage canal. He
was the originator of the vast project
for connecting the Chicago and Mis-
sissippi rivers. He began the canal agi-
tation in the early sos and for six years
was identified with the enterprise, either
as the engineer or the president of the
drainage board.
In 1895 he retired from the board, but
since then has frequently been called
in as consulting engineer to the trus-
tees. He was at his desk yesterday in
the Baltimore building, having just re-
turned home after the completion OF
his work for the canal investigating
commission of New York.
Though I am q Democrat, can not
very well criticise Governor Black for
withholding the joint report of Mr..
North and myself" he said. Il hear

BLOOD ON A SCHOLAR.
Chicago Professor Arrested on Sus-
picion of Being a Redhanded
Murderer.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Blood stains on the
brow of Professor Opitz. assistant in
struct0r in sociology at the University
of Chicago, led to his being arrested
Yesterday by a South Chicago police
officer. When the savant had been
taken, in spite Of earnest expostula-
lions and entreaties, to the station he
did not there make rapid progress IN
obtaining his liberty, an object he
sought to accomplish by displaying the
CORY heads of two domestic geese. HIS
possession of the barnyard specimens
was deemed to call for explanation, and
the professor at last disclosed that he
had made an error as well as having
been the victim of a mistake.
Devoting his spare time to Ornitholo-
gy and taxidermy, Professor OpItz had
desired some wild ducks heads to add
to his collection. He travelled to the
swampy district near South Chicago in
the morning, and, with a pOcketful of
stones, started on a hunt for ducks. He
threw stones for half an hour before he
ported two swimming birds. After he
came from a nearby cottage and said
the geese were her property. The pro-
fessor did not credit her assertion, but
she upbraided him so bitterly that he
withdrew with his trophies of the hunt.
Not noticing that his right hand was
bloody, Professor OpitZ strOked his
brow with it as he walked. The gore
that adhered to his face and hands led
to his apprehension by a Sherlock
communication the specimen seeker fin
ally convinced the police of his identity
and was released. But the geese heads
were cOnfiscated.

ALL NIGHT "SMOKER".
WheeImen at Indianapolis Will Not
Go to Bed Tonight

Indianapolis, Aug. 10.-Visitors to the
I. A. w. meet at Indianapolis will be
treated to many novelties in the amuse-
ment line One of the numerous events
will be an all-night smoker at the Park
theater tonight. Here is what the en-
tertainment committee of the '98 Meet
club has to say regarding the affair:
Arrangements have been completed
for the aIl-night smoker" to be given
at the Park theater Wednesday for the
entertainment of the members Of the
League of American Wheelmen- Dick
son & Talbot have got together a small
programme on a scale which causes
doubt whether a similar entertainment
was ever before attempted in this cOun-
try. The all-night smoker" at the
Philadelphia meet was by no means as
pretentious as this event. 1t took much
time and correspondence, as well as
liberal outlay of money. to secure the
desired talent, and the fact that most
of the artists engaged wished to accom-
modate Dickson & Talbot had much
to do with the successful result of the
work. The programme covers a wide
range, and the specialties, minstrel fea-
lures and athletic contests are so ar
ranged as to avoid any drag. Every
thing is to move like cIockWOrk, and
when the long programme opens it will
run practically continuously until 5
o'clock Thursday morning. The pro-
gramme is sufficient to assure an entire
nights entertainment.

IN DAVENPORT'S PLACE.
Blanche Walsh Will Star Next Season
Instead of the Famous Actress.

New York, Aug. 10.-NIiss Blanche Walsh,
has accepted an offer made to her by Mr..
Melbourne Mcdowell, Miss Fanny Da-
venport's husband, to go starring with
him next season in Miss Davenports rep
ertory of Sardou's plays.
Miss Davenport is gradually but stead
lily recovering from her recent illness at
her home at South Duxbury, Mass, but
her physicians say it will be a long time
before she is able to appear on the stage
again-certainly not next season. This
being evident some time ago, her tour for
next winter was Cancelled.
Recently, however. Mr.. Mcdowell with
his wife's consent, decided to play in her
repertory. Miss Walsh was decided upon
as the most capable available actress to
fill Miss Davenports roles and negotia-
lions were opened with her at once. Mr..
Mcdowell is now busily engaged organ
ling his company and booking q tour.

TO BRING HOME THE DEAD.
Graves of Fallen Soldiers in Cuba Are
Marked.

Washington, Aug.10.-This nation will
not neglect its heroic dead and all the
soldiers and sailors who have given up
their lives in Cuba in defense of their
country's honor will eventually be
given graves in their native land. Gen.
Shafter has been marking the graves
of those who fell in battle with a sim
pie piece of wood, but he will receive
orders to mark them in the future with
stone so there will be no mistake as to
the identity of each one. The dead SOL
diers will be brought home and their re-
mains sent to their families and buried
in sites selected by them. But where
there are no surviving relatives the
burial will be at the different national
cemeteries throughout the country.
Secretary Alger said this afternoon
that metallic caskets with a large corps
of undertakers would be sent to Cuba
for the purpose of bringing the bodies
home. Nothing in this direction can be
done during the summer months, but as
soon as the weather would permit,
which will not be until late in the fall,
every body will be disinterred, placed
in a metallic casket, and sent to the
United States for final disposition. A
formal order will be sent to Gen. Shat
ter to this effect during the early part
of the week. and which will instruct
him to use great care in marking the
graves of the soldiers who have gone
to their final rest.

TWO MOUTHS, ONE STOMACH
Landlord Demands Double Rates For
Two-Headed Freak.

Anderson, Ind, Aug. 1O.-Mfllie-Christine
the famous double headed freak who has
appeared in sideshows all over the coun-
try, is mixed up in a queer complication
in this city and is detained by her land
lord, who insists that she settle for board
for two instead of for one. He makes a
good case. claiming that she ordered with
two mouths and ate with two heads, and
ate enough for two ordinary women.
She is lighting the case with both heads
and both mouths and issuing ultimatums
from both sides of herself. She fears
that to pay double here would establish a
precedent. She has previously had but
one clash, and that was with railroad
conductor, who insisted on her paying two
fares. She won her case in that instance.
The woman is really twins. She has
four arms, four legs and two breasts and
is simply Joined together from her breast
to her hips. She talks and reasons with
both heads, and one side can have the
headache while the other is enjoying it
self. She has but one heart, however,
and any pain inflicted to the body is re-
allied all over.

WAR ON SWEATSHOPS.
Chicago Tailors Propose to Have Pro
ducts Labeled.

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-Chicago sweat
shops are to be given a hard blow if
the present plans of the journeymen
tailors of the city succeed. AT a meet
ing of the Chicago Federation Of Labor
yesterday afternoon the position of the
journeymen tailors was made clear and
the federation was asked to assist them
in the crusade about to be Waged. The
plan as outlined at the meeting was in
effect to prevail upon the next state
legislature to frame a law that will pro-
vide for the tagging or labelling of every
garment made in a tenement sweatshop.
It was argued that the public would
in this way be able to know just what
sort of goods it is buying, and the result
would be a voluntary boycott, so that
comparatively few taiIorshops would
care to handle the labeled goods.
The Federation of Labor asked for
two weeks in which all phases of the
matter may be looked up. The tailors
persisted they had become satisfied that
they have taken a legal and wise
method to annihiIate sweatshops and
preferred immediate action. This was
not taken, as it was suggested that
perhaps such a law as recommended
would not hold water and be effective.
The legislative committee of the Chi
cago federation will be consulted on
this point, and if the course as mapped
out by the tailors appears to be the
proper one the allied labor unions of
Chicago will give their assistance.

HISTORIC SHELLS.
Relics of the Battle of Manila Now In
Washington.

Washington, Aug. 10.-On a mantel in
Assistant Secretary Orders Office at
the state department are several in
teresting relics of the famous battle of
Manila in the shape of fragments of a
shell from one of Admiral Dewey's g.
inch guns and several large shells cap
tured at Cavite arsenal after the defeat
of Montejo. These relics were present
ed to Secretary Order by Consul Wild
man, and their history is inscribed upon
them.
The fragment of the 6-inch shell,
which is rusty from exposure, smashed
the Spanish commandments house at
Cavite, destroyed SO, 900 worth of prop
erty, and killed five Spaniards. The
shells, from which the charges have
been removed, are unlike any that are
in use in the service of this govern
ment. They are about eight inches
long, one inch in diameter, and the bull
let is made of steel instead of lead.
Around the bullet is a band of brass,
which shows beyond question that the
Spaniards were using ammunition
which is prescribed by civilized nations.
Although Secretary Order receives
relics from consuls in all parts of the
world, he prizes none so highly as he
does the piece of projecti1e which did
such effective execution in the first for
eign war in which this country has been
involved since the war with Mexico,
and which was the means of raising
American gunners in the estimation of
all the nations of the world.

Aguadores and was four times wounded.
He was hit in the side of the head by

coming out his right side. The wound,

TO SCHLEY ALONE.
Cervera Refused to Deliver His
Sword to Admiral Sampson.

New York, Aug. 1O.-Seaman George
H. NcHugh, who was aboard the cruis-
er Brooklyn when Cervera's fleet was
destroyed, but is now resting in Brook
Ign, tells this story of the surrender of
the Colon:
During the fight in Santiago Bay.
Commodore Schley was an ideal COM
mander. Sampson took no part in the
destruction of Cervera's fleet. When
the Colon ran ashore Commodore
Schley sent Captain Cook, Ensign Nc
Auley, Lieutenant Griffin, and a num-
Der of seamen, of whom I was one, to
secure the surrender of the Vice Ad-
niral, who commanded the Spanish ship.
the New York, with Admiral Sampson
on board, came up, and the Admiral
ordered the boat to stop and the pris-
oners to be turned over to him.
THE Spanish commander, however,
positively refused to surrender to
Sampson. He would only surrender,
he said, to the man who had whipped
him, meaning Schley. The Spaniard
was then taken to the Brooklyn, where
he surrendered to Schley. AS an evil
dence Of the respect Schley had for
Cervera, he refused to allow the men to
give vent to their enthusiasm at mid
night on July 8. The men had planned
to give the commodore a rOusing cheer
just as the Fourth of July arrived. Ad-
miral Cervera and his officers were
aboard the Iowa, which lay alongside
us
"On the day Cervera was to be sent
north he came aboard our ship to bid
Schley goodbye and compliment him on
MS victory. Schley ordered all his men
aft When we had lined up he turned to
Cervera and said: Admiral. these are the
men who did the work; they are the ones
to be cmplimented-' Cervera turned to the
men and remarked that if he had had
such men with him the result might have
been different
McHugh says that Commodore schley
was not in favor of blockading Santiago
harbor with the Merrimac. The commo-
core, he said was for dashing in with the
feet, but Sampson would not permit this
to be done.
