The Senate Listens to Euloctes IN
the Late senator walthall

The latter part of the session of the Sem
ate yesterday was devoted to eulogies in
memory OF the late Senator Walthall of
Mississippi, the Senate adjourning at 500
pm. until ii O'Clock today But little
progress was made on the revenue bill yes
terday afternoon Mr. Teller continued his
remarks after The Stars report of the SEN
ate proceedings closed. Mr.. Teller said he
did not believe there should be a line
drawn between state and national taxation
If this line was to be drawn the states
might render il impossible to conduct a
great war. He said the people of the Unit.
ed States were better able now TO pay a
thousand millions as internal tax than they
were TO pay SSoo,OOooO0 in the civil war.
AS Tor himself he would not only TAX cor
porations, but he would also include pro-
ducing individuals. He would not put a
tax upon the poor; he would put II upon the
rich. He would tax salaries as well: those
of senators as of others. But, he said the
taxing power was greatly embarrassed by
the decision OF the Supreme Court in the
income tax case.
With the greatest respect for that body
he said he maintained that the courts de-
cision. carried to its logical conclusion.
meant simply that the rich could not be
taxed He believed that decision was the
NEST serious blow at the sovereignty OF
the people since the government was erect
ed Mr. Teller defended the policy OF levy
ing an income tax He read extracts of
spcechse delivered more than Twenty-Five
years ago in the House by Mr.. Hale and
others who are now members OF the Senate
he mentioned, among others. Mr.. Cullom
Qll)
II am in favor of income tax now"
retorted Mr.. Cullom.
Mr.. Teller: Wei. I'm glad TO hear 1T
Before Mr.. Teller had concluded his
speech the bill WAS laid aside that the Sem
ate might take up the special order-eulo-
gies upon the late Senator Edward G. Wal
THAI of Mississippi.
While the special order was pending
Mr.. Sewell IN. j. moved that the Senate
concur in the House amendment to Senate
III sUspending certain provisions of law
relating to hospital stewards. The amend
meat WAS that the increase Of stewards
SHOULD not exceed one hundred. Mr.. Sew

ported by Mr.. Sewell providing for the EN-
ployment of retired army officers during
the present war. 1t was passed

MOTHER GIVES UP HER CHILD.
A Widow and Unable to Provide for
the Little One.

A mother today abandoned her right to
Ter pretty three-year-old child in Equity
Court No. l, Judge Cox presiding. because
she is a widow and unable to support the
little one.
Sarah G. Risner was left a widow in 1885
and has had n hard struggle with the
world. Her child, Nina Keith, aas born
just little over year before Mr.. Risner
died. Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Reichert were
reighbors and have no children of their
own. They became very fond OF the baby,
and after some persuasion the mother
consented to their adoption CT Vina
Therefore. this morning. Mr.. and Mrs
Rechert took Nina before Judge Cox and
alter submitting the necessary petition and
the mothers written consent, the court
made the order by which the child be-
comes, as the petition solemnly prays
heir at law of your petitioners the same
as If the said infant had been born to your
petitioners"
Nina unaware OF the part she was play
ing in the tragedy Of life, fitted about the
court room with all the pertness Of a little
sparrow. Clerk Clancy beamed uDon the
child and found pleasure in her innocent
joyousness. and even Judge Cox's usually
stern face broke into pleased smiles. while
Nina examined all the hooks and corners of
the old court room.

immaculate Conception Church Fat,
Has Gratifying Success

Immaculate Conception Church Fntr
Has Gratifying Success.
The Immaculate Conception fair which
is now going on at the parish hall on n
street between TIN and Sth streets north
west. is enjoying a greater amount of
patronage than was bestowed upon it the
first week. The second week opened last
Monday evening with an increased number
present, while the attendance every night
this week so far has been most gratifying
Several new items of decoration have
been added to the fair room, and it pre-
sents a very attractive appearance Of
course the stars and stripes predominate,
and the many schemes that have been de-
vlsed to exhibit them are tasteful and eff
fective. Many new articles have been do
rated TINS week, and the several tables
where the supplies were almost sold out
last Saturday night have been replenished
with better stock The booths are doing
a land office business. and it is expected
that all the tables will be cleared by clos
ing time Saturday evening next.
The ladies III charge Of the tables and
their assistants have enoeavored in every
way possible to secure new articles for
this week, and that they have succeeded
admirably is evidenced by the appearance
of their booths. In this connection the
aiumrae have adopted an expression of
the heartiest thanks to their friends for
aid in this manner to their table and to
the fair in general. The friends of Miss
Matte Fitzpatrick are especially grateful
for services she has rendered.
The merchants Of that section of the
city in which the Immaculate Conception
Church is located have come forward with
hearty cooperation and have combined to
keep the tables loaded with fancy articles
and good things to charm the sense of
taste until the close of the week
Some winners of prizes have been re-
ported recently, among them Mrs. II. p
Thomas, who won the handsome topaz and
gold rosary at the children of Mary's
table; Mrs. Brothern, who won a hand
some china service, and Mrs. Wardwell,
the winner of pair OF shoes at the sane
tuary ana choir table.

NEW yoRKS Ex-cHlEF OF POLICE
CHOSEN FOR THE JOB.

McCulIash, the Nan Who Broke Up
the sEhyev Gang and Cleaned the
ss8Ioody SIXTH Has Gone to Tame
the Rfotour Volunteers.
PeopIe who do not know John w. Nc
Cullagh, the man who has been sent down
to Havana to organize a policeforce there,
may imagine that he has undertaken too
big a contract, but New YoEkers who do
know MoCullagh believe him to be the
! right man in the right place.
Most likely they are right. The Span.
iards and the Cubans are behaving rather
badly in Havana just now, and things are
at skies and sevens generally There will
be a grand shaking up when McCullagh
gets to work. He has had just the kind
Of experience which FITS a man to graphic
with situations of this kind He was on
the New York police force for 20 years,
beginning as a humble ~patrolnan and
ending as chief.
During those long years of service John
McCuIlagh handled lawbreakers OF all
sorts. One of his first exploits was the
breaking upof that mou gang OF thugs,
thieves and murderers known as the
ssWhyos.s' If the Havana volunteers who
are said to b responsible for much Of the
disorder in Havana are worse than the
| ssWhyos,n then they ara like no other
Spaniards who rave ever been heard OF.
1t is probable that one nWhyo'' tough
would have been equal to half a dozen Ha-
vana volunteers.
Chief McCu1lagh was born in Ireland
about So years ago and he landed in New
York when he was q. For a year or SO
he worked as a coach driver. but he soon
tired OF this, and, as he had an uncle who
was a police captain, he applied for a pc
sition on the force. He WAS soon assigned
to the mou nted squad arr bSScme an ex-
pert h-orseaaan@ He WAS promoted to
roundsman and then to sergeant. After
13 years Of service he was made a captain.
His second assignment was to the Bloody
Sixth precinct. He was told to 'ciean
it up" He did it.
In the ssBlocdy Sixth, !" comprising the
Five Points district, were several long or
ganized bands Of toughs. These gangs no
former police captain had been able to
break up. There were the Leather
Heads" the inmates of the "Big Flats"
! the ssFiye Pointers and the sWhyos.'
McCullagh went after them. BE bad
barely assumed command when he put on
a disguise and went personally into the
resorts of the most dangerous criminals.
He fraterEized with the toughs and learned
their secrets. He herd their sneers at the
now police captain and listened to their
threats. For a fortnight the criminals
had their own way.
Then MoCullagh put on his uniform,
gathered a big squad of men and swooped
down on the thugs. He arrested the lead
ers on all sorts of charges, old and new,

Gigantic EeIs.

i Professor Jules GARNER, the French
explorer, in a publication made some
time ago, mentioned the existence of gil
gantic cells in the rivers of New Gale
donia. He had not personally encountered
specimens of this eel. and requested a
.colonist of La Poya. on the West coast
of the island to try and obtain a specimen
for him, alive or dead. More was heard
about the matter at a recent meeting of
the French Geographical Society when
Professor GARNER read q letter from NJ.
A. Escande, a colonist of New Caledonia.
During the rainy period great sheets Of
water are formed inland by the torrents

thick border of reeds and aquatic
plants, with keen leaves. During
the dry season the water dries
off. but in the centre it is often
from Y to 20 feet deep. In order to get at
the sheetsof water the eolonist sets fire to
the dry reeds. and thus could make his
way into the centre. There he found two
specimens of a gigantic eel, heretofore
known even to the natives. These cells

a GUEST on HONOR.

Brown took the Van Wyck end. Mr..
Clark, althougha member of Tammany|
Hall, felt that Colonel Roosevelt would bsl
elected. Mr.. Clark was so we'll pleased
with the yindication of his political fore
sight that he resolved to spend his win
nings in making memorable the moment
when they came into his hands.
The lucky hsttor has a stable in West
Seyenty-sixth street that many well to do
persons would be glad to have for .
home. In the stable, it was decided, the
banquet should be held.
The guests were hidden to the feast,
which was set for last night a week ago.
Among the guests were ex-Mayor Gilroy,
Alfred de Cordova and Charles H. Webb.
The others were politicians, horsemen and
sportsmen. The guests were charmed by
the material vision that met them at the
stable The carriage room, wide and long,
had been transformed INTO a banqueting
hall. The floor was covered with rich
rugs. The walls on three sides were hung
with splendid tapestries from the law
yer's home. The fourth wall was hidden
behind a collection of paintings of famous
~trotters and runners, the works of emil
nent artists, of trophies of the chase and
fine equipments for the morse.
No table could lave been more beauti-
full than that which awaited the happy
guests. It was in the form of a horseshoe,
was heavily banked with flowers and
tastefully decorated.
The guests cane as the blizzard ragged.
AS each entered a medallion of a horses
head, set in gilt with a mat of crimson
and suspended by a broad white ribbon,

Next came the feast, to which 40 sat
down. Colonel Brown occupied a seat at
the head of the table and was charged
with the task of being witty as toast mas
ter.
The menu was a wonder in the epi-
curean dishes it provided. The wines, too,
we're rare and in generous plenty. For
hours the guests sat and enjoyed the de-
lights afforded to their palates.
When the cigars were brought on, Colo
mel Brown arose to perform the chief cere-
monial Of the evening. He made q little
speech, in which he paid a tribute to the
deep political wisdom of the host, aud at
It's conclusion handed Mr.. CLARK o check
for the $1,000 he had won. The winner
accepted the check with a few remarks,
not falling to call attention to the noble
submission with which Colonel Brown
had bowed to cruel fate.
Subsequently Mr.. Clark disappeared SO
quietly that his departure was not OBJ
served. Soon heavy curtains were held
aside, and the host entered, leading a
beautifully o-aparisoned horse. His adj
vent brought forth a murmur Of ~astenish-
ment and admiration. The noble brute
reared and plunged in such a way that for

collected his evidence and sent them to
Sing Sing for long terms. The reserves
were busy those days. but the gangs were
broken mp, and to this day not a remnant
of them remains.
Then McCullagh went after the Chi
nese gamblers. No one had been able to
get evidence against the fantan players.
Tho new captain adopted different tactics.
He secured Chinatown until he found a
pigtailed tough who was willing to turn
spy. McCullagh's raids were successful,
and never has Chinatown learned tho
name of the traitor. 1t would like to
know.
In the up town districts McCullagh
did good work also, and his ability was
recognized. He was made inspector and
afterward chief. When Brooklyn and the
adjoining Long Island cities and towns
were Incorporated into the Greater New
York, McCullagh r~eorganized and c~onsoli-
dated the various police forces. This was
q work demanding much executive abil-
ity. 1t was a far greater undertaking than
the organization of q police force in Ha-
yana.
Chief McCulIagh had the reputation of
being one of the best looking men on the
New York police force. He has a round,
smooth face, a highly colored, clear COM
piexion, square shoulders and the general
build of an athlete.
He was also one of the finest horsemen
among that big body of expert riders.
During the police parade of 1896 McCul-
lagh led his men. He was mounted on q
big black charger, which seemed to be too
full of lifo and spirits to be kept under
control. just as the head of the line was
passing tbs reviewing stand the band
ahead struck up a lively march, and the
black charger suddenly took it INTO his
head to dance, to the music. He began to
prance and p~irouette in the most dizzy
fashion, now and then rearing on his hind
feet until it seemed as if he would topple
over backward.
But through 1t all Chief McCullagh sat
Ike a centaur, eyes front, calm and Sc
rene. AS he passed the stand the horse
gave an extra plunge, out the rider salut-
ed as precisely as If he had been merely
walking past. The incident WAS witness
ed by 20, 600 New Workers, and they burst
into a storm Of cheers. Perhaps the peo-
pie of Havana will soon nave an opportu-
nifty to sec a specimen of Chief McCul-
lagh's equestrianship.
The American officials in Havana will
find CHIEF. ldcCullagh a good fellow social
". He is good natured, ever tempered
and eoinpanionable. When he has time
for 1t, he likes to entertain and be enter
tanned. Few New Workers know better
what constitutes a good dinner than he.
But the rioters and law breakers Of Ha-
vana viii not find him a good fellow.
They will learn that this red faced, square
jawed American is there for business, and
they will either mend their ways or go to
prison.
