FoRTIFYING NEW YORK.
A Part of the $5O,Ooo,OOO Defense
Fund Will Be Used There.

New York, March 23.-The import
ance of adequate defense for the great
commercial and manufacturing inter
ests of this city should war be declared,
has been pointed out emphatically, and
the decision to use a portion of the so
million dollars appropriated by congress
to add to the coast defences by cOntin-
uing work on Qualifications, affords
much pleasure to the corps of engineers
in charge of the work about the har-
Dor of New York.
The construction of additional means
of defense at Forts Hamilton and Han
cock, upon which depends the repulsion
of a hostile fleet that might attempt to
force its way up the narrOws, is in
charge of Lieut.. Col. VIM Ludlow.
Col Ludlow said:
1--WE are glad indeed that a portion of
the so million dollars is to be used to go
on with constructing coast defenses.
Instead of waiting for the regular ap-
preparation, we will have the benefit of
the emergency fund. While we regret

HOLSTERS GET TOO GOOD.
Will Try the Experiment of Town
without Laws or Officers.

Kokomo, Ind, March 23.-Greentown
this county, a manufacturing city Of
$500 population that is noted for it's
morality, is now without a legal gov
eminent.
The town marshal resigned several
months ago on account of having moth
ing to do, since which time they have
been without a police officer. The town
was never incorporated as a city and
has no mayor or other corporate head.
Since the place was founded 80 years
ago, it has been governed by five
trustees, a clerk, treasurer and marshal
completing the official roster, the mar
shall acting as street commissioner Last
week two of the five trustees moved out
of that Jurisdiction and the remaining
three are unable to transact any legal
business for want of a quorum and
nothing can be done until new trustees
are elected in April.
The citizens are in nowise alarmed
over the situation, and, having already
dispensed with several officers without
detriment, are inclined to believe they
could get along without any govern
ment
The population is made up largely of
factory hands, all OF whom are quiet
peaceable citizens.

To facilitate the action of AIorrow's Kid

chemist to be used in conjunction with

MOODY'S VIEW OF WAR.
The Evangelist Says We Must Do Our
Duty, War or No War.

OuCy, w ar or N o w ar
Chicago, March 23-''War or no war,
it will be a blot on the name of Aneri-
ca and a deep disgrace to the American
flag if we do not feed the starving Gu
bans and put them once more on their
feet It is our duty as men and broth
ers, and should be done regardless of
any other issues, Spain or no Spain,
war or no war;
Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist,
newly come from distant fields of labor,
looked through the open window of his
office at the Bible institute for a mo-
ment before he spoke again.
I have been to Tampa" he resumed,
and have seen 10000 Cuban refugees
meek, innocent and inOffensive people.
Why, the little Cuban children are the
prettiest babies 1 ever saw, and can
not see how the Spaniards can endure
the thought of starving such nation.
The Almighty commands to feed even
our enemies, and l. for one, would rath-
er fight the enemy with a full stomach
than starving, helpless invalid.
I had no notion-none Whatever-Of
the Cuban horrors until went to Tam
pa, and also had my knowledge further
reinforced by the report of Senator
Proctor. We must help the Cubans-
we must not allow them to die penned
up and starved-we must help them,
even though the doom of Spain be
wrought in the work of helping.
AS to war, so far as we are con-
cerned and our own grievances, 1 can
not say; 1 have not studied the claims
O1 DOln sues SuIHclenIIy TO make a LdlF
decision. My idea of war as a general
ity is that the innocent get killed and
the fellows who cause the war and
bring it on stay safe at home. If we
wage war with Spain, whom will we
kill? Not Weyler and such men as he,
but thousands of innocent and honest
Spaniards, who never had a word to
say as to the right and justice of the
cause. That, in brief, is my idea OF
war.
THE country seems more prosper
GUS" said he, but there is a terrible
restlessness, and unsettled feeling, an
the times, conditions and surroundings
"a dissatisfaction that includes life
itself and leads to the constantly in
creasing list of suicides.
Dissatisfaction, unrest, uncertainty

or where we shall end, I can only go
ahead and do my best, for that is all
that any man can do"

The birds We're a poor lot, due to driz-
zling rain.
There were 2O5 entries for the Grand
American handicap, and before the sec
ond round has been shot off, there viii
probably be half a score more.
Mrs. William P. Shattuck of Mime
apolis was the only representative of
the gentler sex who handled a gun to-
day, but Mrs. DR.. S. Shaw and Mrs. G.
w Carson, both of Chicago, probably
will join her on the % yard mark in the
big event.
The western contingent, numbering
in all 81 with AZ shooters, arrived here
yesterday in two special cars.
The ElkwOOd park Introductory, which
was practically a miss and out contest
at seven birds each, attracted SO entries,
among whom was Mrs. Shattuck.
Four hundred and forty-five dollars
was divided between the following 35
men, each having killed seven straight:
Dickson, Roll, Wagner, Clay, Hutchins,
flaming, H. Dunneu, Malone, d. Ell

Elliott and Capt. Bunk.
Twenty-four men tied with straight
scores of Is each in the NitrO-powder
handicap, which was the highest posi-
BILE score.
In this event Mrs. Shattuck missed
her seventh bird, and although the 9TH
er shooters were debarred from con-
testing for the last three birds in case
they had missed one out of the first II,
Mrs. Shattuck was given the privilege
by unanimous consent to shoot to the
end, and she grassed her last three birds
in splendid style, but failed to get any
of the money.
The successful shooters who divided
$1,000 between them, were:

IT CUTS BOTH WAYS.
Canada's Prohibition of American
Trees Causes Trouble.

Ottawa, Ont, March 23.-Chas. Charl-
ton, liberal, attacked the government
in the house of commons, for the bill
prohibiting the importation of nursery
stock into Canada.
He read kilograms and letters from
a number of firms in the dominion
which showed that their business had
been ruined. In many cases nursery
stock had been bought and paid for
weeks ago in the United States and
waiting in cold storage to be shipped to
Canada when required.
Now it cannot be imported. Several
members said that these parties should
be Unidentified for their losses.
