a reward of 10000 offered by the colony
FOR this invention. and he will in addiJ
| tlon receive permanent royalty on his

a grandson of the State.
Mr.. Hobson had made for himself Il

decd which puts his name on every llp.
lie WAS Il scholar and had won honors
in this country and abroad. He was
selected for the daring feat that chal-
lengcs Worldwide admiration, both be
cause of his knowledge of naval con
struction and his daring spirit.
Years AGO this incident was told that
shows the stuff of which Hobson is
made: In the Naval Academy there is
. rliIc which the instructors haye never
heru able to enforce that officers on duty
must report their classmates as we'll rs
other cadets. That is Il rule which the
cadets have by unwritten law nullitied.
When young Ilobson, shortly after en-
tering the academy, was put on duty rs
am officer he reported any dereliction of
his classmates as well rs other cadets.
For this violation Of what his class
mates felt was going back on his com
radcs," young Hobson was boycotted by
his class. most of them refusing even to
speak to him during the four Years term.

NOT FOR FUN OR TO SUMNER IN FLORIDA

General Lee is not in this thlng tol

writes our war correspondent, Mr.. Mef-
ritt, from jacksonville.
General Lee seems to think mat WlltI

starvation and barbarity practlced i'll
Cuba, we were in earnest. lie see
that. instead of stopping war. our plaI o.
warfare has increased it ten-fold. BE

We have destroyed the Spanish fleet

to take Cuba. We have stormed Porto
Rico and made il impossible for the
| soldiers there to render help in Cuba.
| We have ut last discovered that some OF
the Spanish w~arships are bottled up nj
Santiago de Cuba. and hurled Il lew
shells to tear down the fortitications All
these things are good and give cause
for qualification, but the object for winch
war was declared seems to have been
made secondary. and the Cuban invasion
has been postponed, and postponed until
the rainy season is upon lis, whereas 1t
could have been taken in twenty days
with fifty thousand men when war was
declared. Time has been given to
strengthen old and put UP new fortlilca-
tons, and make the invasion when

Of brave men.

KIDNAPPED BY FRIENDS
TO FORESTALL ARREST BY THE
DETECTIVES
Attorney Henry w. Nolan. Once o.
Los Angeles, Is Hopelessly In
sane at Chicago

| Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Henry W. Nolan,
formerly of the law firm of Case, Nolan
& Hogan, was kidnapped Friday night
and taken to the home Of his father in
Detroit, where he is now suffering from
permanent dementia.
The forcible removal from Chicago of
the attorney was necessary to forestall
his arrest by central police station de-
|tectiyes on complaint of the telegraph
|companies and tenants Of the Kedzie
building, who had been annoyed by his
eccentric actions.
Nolan was called to Randolph and
Clark streets by a decoy letter. There
he was seized and carried to carriage
by his brother, Joseph Nolan; Dr. Porter
of Detroit, and T. w. Law of Chicago.
He was then quickly taken to the Polk
street station, placed in a Pullman and
taken to Detroit.
Nolan began the practice of law in
Chicago sixteen years ago, and became
associated with Theodore Case and
Thomas S. Hogan in 1885. In 1887 he
went to Los Angeles, where he remained
for some time. In 1895 he went to Den
yer. and came back to Chicago about a
wear ago. He became afflicted with in
testinal troubles, and to allay the pain
he used morphine. Not long ago he
went to Detroit, and was under watch
in his fathers home until January 1,
when he disappeared. Three days later
he rented an office in the Kedzie build
ing. and announced that he was a mil
Iionaire, had just sold a mine in the
Colorado gold fields, and had deposited
$3.50, 900 in the Chicago National bank.
In the three weeks his telegraph tolls
amounted to $3.50, the messages being
addressed at random, and containing Of
fers to sell mines. After his money had
become exhausted the kilograms were
sent collect, and this fact brought the
police into the case.
He gave to T. w. Law several checks
for $1O0, and gave man who presented
a bill for $3.50 a check for $1,000, telling
him to keep the change. He offered
messenger boys checks calling for thou
sands of dollars.
