person were seriously injured, the en-

The government is now in need OF
vessels to transport troops to its newly
acquired military possessions in foreign
countries, but the protected shipown-
ers avail themselves of the opportunity
afforded by that need to double the
price of their vessels or the charters
thereof. Patriotism has more strings
attached to it now than ever, but not
unnaturally, for in the present war
there is nothing, but the danger to
which some of their relatives may be
subjected, to excite the feelings of the
appropriated and disinterested people
of this country.

Tiger Falls on its Keener

SCRANTON, Pa, June 1.-In full sight
of hundreds of people ferocious tiger
spring upon its keeper, Clark Berdell,
during the progress of Walter Mains
circus parade on the streets of this city
yesterday. Berdell was giving an ex-
hibition with the beast in an open cage.
The tiger fastened it's fangs in his thigh,
tearing away the flesh to the knee and
laying the bone bare. Another attend
ant hurried up and, entering the cage,
subdued the animal and rescued Ber-
dell, who was removed to Lackawanna
Hospital.

A PENSION bill was recently passed
by Congress for the openly avowed
reason that the Congressman who had
introduced it had since then become an
officer in the present war. The right
fullness of the bill had nothing to do
with the case. Now that Congressman
Jones of Virginia has ceased to OBJ
iect to the extention OF the fraudulent
psusion roll, the length to which that
roll may be extended is limited only by
the number of pension bills that may
be introduced.

quarters, it looks very much as if rnat

it is infinitely less so than either of the

Yesterday in favor of the annexation OF
Hawaii, Mr.. Chandler said the posses
sion of those islands was essentially
requisite and necessary to this country,
as it must have coaling station IN the
middle of the Pacific ocean. Why cer-
taiuly; but as the United States now
have and for years have had, cooling
station in the middle of the Pacific

ever avail themselves of it, Why they

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 1, 1sE s.

Work on the Northern Neck rail-
road has been suspended and some OF
its creditors have brought suit against
its construction company for the
amount of their claims. The war has
certainly benefited no Virginia inter
est, not even its military interest, for
leaving out Major General Lee, the
government has recognized none of her
military men. Her whole compression
al delegation tried in vain TO have Col
onel Nalle appointed brigadier, AID
though she raised her quota of troops
at once, when four companies OF I'M
aeinary immunes were called for from
among her citizens, captains, hail'ns
from other States, were sent within her
borders to enlist them. But vac vlctls
has been the fate OF every conquered
neOnle.

THE MORRIS LAND GRANr.-The q.

The MORRIS LAND GRANT.-The q. 8.
Supreme Court, through Justice Harlan, has
rendered an opinion in case involving q
tract of 100000 acres of land in Virginia
and West Virginia. The land was patented
by the State of Virginia to Robert Morris IN
1895 The case was brought by henry Z.
King against various claimants to the lano'
King claiming through transfers from MOTIFS,
and the defendants resisting on the grounds
that the Morris grant had been forfeited.
The case was decided by the Circuit Court for
the District of West Virginia against Kings
contentious, and this view of the case was af-
frmed by yesterdays decis Only that
portion of the grant lying in West Virginia
was directly involved in the opinion, but it
also effects the Virginia land.

A PARTIAL reciprocity treaty has
been negotiated with France, over
three thousand miles away. With
free trade between this country and
Canada, just across the border, and with
which country trade, even under the ex'
listing high tariff, is immense, the BUSH
ness of the United States would be in
creased greatly; but such trade would
diminish the profits of few protected
interests in the North, and therefore it
must not be thought Of.

The SPANISH war was begun for the
assigned object of helping the poor and
suffering recoacentrados in Cuba; but
up to date it seems that military opera
tions have been confined to sea fights
or commandments in Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands, in which no recon
centrados were benefited. If such
people were starving before the war
commenced, all of them must be "dead
corpses" by this time.

.dR. PENNINGToN's RECITAL.
Elm Park Church the Scene of 6
Brilliant Event.

Last nights organ recital at Elm
Park church was very largely attend
ed. The atmosphere seemed delight
fully restful as in Difference to Mr.
Pennington's request no applause was
given, and undsturbed enjoyment OF
the fine programme was permitted. MT.
rennington's selections are almost GER
tain to be unhackneyed in any sense
as his repertoire is so vast that he
seldom repeats a selection at these re-
citals from one year to the next.
Last night he played with the ut
most feeling several numbers by dis
tinguished composers. Among them a
beautiful concert Morceau by Gull
mant, which was wonderfully we'll rem
dered. Perhaps the most charming
selection given was a Bastorole by
Wely, the Widor Toccata in +, was
given by request.
Mrs. OBrien was in excellent voice
and sang the exquisite Promise of
Life" by Cowen, in a manner char
acterized by the simplicity of feeling,
with which she always sings. Her
middle register seemed to be specially
developing.
A distinct feature of enjoyment was
the readings by Miss Caroline T,
Conkling, who looked as If she might
have stepped from a fair picture of
Marie Antoinette's time, with her filmy
white gown and her charming face.
She has unusual grace of attitude and
her selections of subjects are particu-
larly happy. Last night she gave "The
Fiddle Told" whose pathos and ten
derness swayed her audience with
great power One of Eugene Fields
fascinating little poems and lullaby
to organ music were most attractively
rendered. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.
Pennington will afford many of these
musical treats to the public this season
