fearing Miss Polly had the watch.
called and was told IL had been given
20 another woman who had called and
claimed IL. Miss Ham did not believe
the story and swore out n warrant for
Miss Polly's arrest.
When the case came up for hearing
Yesterday Attorney Charles Leonard,
who appeared for Miss Polly. moved to
non-suit on the ground that under the
Montana statute the defendant. to be
guilty of larceny. must have found the
watch herself and refused to give IL
IN, whereas IL was a fact that the watch
had been found by another and given 10
the defendant. and that therefore she
had only been the custodian. Judge
Ferrell concurred in Attorney Leonard's
Reading OF the law n his contention
that the complaint was faulty and dis
missed the case.
John Harris pleaded not guilty to a
charge OF assault and had his hearing
Bet for Friday. The same course was
taken In the case In which Thomas
Lacey was charged with disturbance.

loon. was fined $40 for malicious mis-
thief. Charles Berger was fined so foI

REV. MR.. FULTON'S LECTURE.


Rev. Justin Fulton. ID. D., of Brook
lyn, lectured last evening at the Cong
don street Baptist church upon Cuba
and it's possibilities TO n large audience,
and his remarks were very closely fol-
lowed. Prior to the lecture, prayer was
offered by Rev. Moses N. Bixby and
the choir sang several selections, among
which was THE Loss OF the Maine.
Dr. Fulton said, in substance:
The Cubans are lazy set, who, like
the whites OF the south, do not want TO
work. The Cubans wish to rule that
country and favor annexation. Cuba is
a wonderful country In It's resources.
IL Is worth all of the islands in the
Pacific ocean. Cuba ought to be and
will be ours. All OF the countries of
the western hemisphere are against the
United states and I'm favor OF Spain I'm
the Cuban question. Autonomy would
restore the islands to prosperity. In
cuba are thousands of negroes who
have never seen the Bible and are obe-
dent TO the Roman church. For the
last 5000 years Rome has been absolute
master i'm cuba. The scale Of ciNiliza-
ton has been lower in cuba than I'm
China and Japan Bull fights and other
degrading sports have nourished. What
the Cubans want is religious freedom
SO do the Filipinos. All history make
n apparent that cuba could be popu-
lated by the black people

MURDERER MAY EE EXECUTED.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, L. L.,
Sept. 27.-Priv. James Twisby, colored,
troop +, 10th cavalry died yesterday
in the regimental hospital, from gun
shot wounds inflicted by Linsey P.Holt,
colored, blacksmith attached TO the
10th cavalry. Late Sunday afternoon
Twisby ana Holt had a quarrel about
the possession of a Spanish coin, for
which Holt said he had paid 40 cents In
Santiago. Twisby claimed the coin as
his property, but before the men came
To blows they were separated
Twisby renewed the feud by going
into Holt's blacksmith shop. The other
members of troop + were looking after
their horses at the stables Twisby and
Holt, on renewing their quarrel, came
To blows, but, as neither OF them was
allowed to carry arms at that time,
Holt ran into a corporals tent, nearby
and caught up a 3S-caliber army revol-
yer and advanced toward Twisby.
Hoit fired three shots i'm rapid sue
cession at Twisby. One struck him in
the back, another i'm the thigh and the
third in the left jaw. The first bullet
lodged in the abdomen.
The shooting attracted the troopers
OF the 10th cavalry, and i'm a few min
utes Holt was hurried away To the
guardhouse. Twisby was taken Ia the
regimental hospital. where he died.
AS soon as court martial can be
convened, Holt will be tried and he
may be sentenced to be put to death by
being shot. Holt has been in the army
about Is months. Twisby had been in
the service six or eight months. Both
men were in the battle of Santiago.

PLASTERlNG FELL.
Excitement at Star Theatre on the Open
ing Night.

There was some little excitement at
Aliens Star Theatre last evening,
shortly before the performance COM
menced, due to the fact that some
plastering fell from the ceiling of the
gallery to the floor of the main aisle.
For few minutes there was some con-
fusion, some cheerful idiot shouting
fire" but there was no cause whatever
for "A panic. and very soon order was
restored and the performance began, as
if nothing had happened. on the streets
a rumor had been circulated that two
men had been killed by the fall of the
gallery. and this made a great deal of
excitement out OF doors.
The whole thing was caused by the
slipping Of q nut on one Of the iron
rods which supports the gallery, and
this caused some of the plastering To
drop, but there was no sinking of the
gallery whatever. nobody was injured
and the damage TO the house was very
slight indeed.

M'CLOSKEY RESISTED.
As a Result Police Surgeon Had TO Sew
Up Wound IN His Head.

Last night about 10:4O o'clock officer
William A. O'Brien was called to arrest
John II. McCloskey at 156 Chestnut
street, who was drunk and creating a
disturbance. The officer went to the
house and found the man most for
midable person. who proposed not to
submit to the indignity of arrest with
out a fight. The officer, not feeling dis
posed TO back down. and for bluff
laid hands on McCloskey, whereupon
the latter struck the officer.
The patroman then brought his night
stick into play, and the force of the
argument impressed McCloskey so fa-
vorably or otherwise that he was taken
to the station without further trouble.
After the arrival there DIR. Palmer
was called and sewed up wound on
the mans forehead about one inch In
length.

Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,

For the day brings so many vexations.
So many things going amiss;
But. mothers, whatever may vex you.
Send the children TO bed with a kiss!
The dear little feet wander often.
Perhaps. from the pathway of right,
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morn till night;
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite bless

Send the children 10 bed with kiss.
For some day their noise will not vex
you,
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for the sweet children
voices.
For a sweet childish face at the door.
And to press a child's face to your

You'd give all the world for just this;
For the comfort twill bring you in sor-

CONTIGUOUS OIL BASINS

The apparent giving out OF the OIL
basin now operated in the city does not
necessarily imply that the end Of the oil
business In this neighborhood is draw
irg near. It is rather surprising that
the supply has continued so long, when
we consider the great number Of wells
that have been pumping In limited
area. All experience shows that oil
basins are exhaustible. and also that
basins may be found almost anywhere
IL a belt of country, geologically favor
able, where a single one has produced
largely.
The production Of oil in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, West Virginia and elsewhere has
abundantly substantiated this theory
The first oil basin discovered In Penn
sylvania was near Titusviile. Operators
then knew nothing OF the exhaustible
nature of the oil deposits. apparently
imagining that an oleaginous ocean lay
below them. But 1t was not long until
the basin showed signs of exhaustion,
and a new one was looked for. Time
after time this experience was repeated
In Pennsylvania, in the earlier days OF
the ell industry, and since then like con-
ditions have been found In other Iocali-
ties.
Unfortunately the science of geology
cannot aid the searcher for oil farther
than to tell where the general geo
logical conditions are favorable for the
deposits. 1t is more than probable that
an abundance of oil lies hidden In the
earth in this immediate section. We
shall not be surprised to hear, any day,
that an adventurous prospector has
struck "a spouter" far away from the
present forest of derricks

have no power to compel attendance OF
witnesses, and In fact 1t could not even
issue subpoenas. There would be nc
obligatory testimony. The result OF
such an investigation can be imagined
when we consider that the only attain
able testimony Of any consequence
must necessarily be given by sub
orGinates against their superiors.
1t is now quite probable that congress
Will undertake an investigation. The
Demo Gratis will be inclined to force the
maeter, even II they are satisfied that
a majority report, well coated with
whitewash, will be the inevitable out
come. Any investigating committee
would, of course, have customary repre-
sentation of the minority party, and
thus an opportunity would be given to
at least bring the facts to public notice
in a minority report.
The conspicuous persons whom the
president bid to attend the investigating
feast have nearly all begged to be ex-
cused, and he is now skirmishing among
the halt and the blind for substitutes.
He would do better to back out Of the
dilemma.
