AN UNNECESSARY BURDEN.

Judge James r.. Brown SO Charact erizes
the Pardon Board.
Judge James r. Brown, who for many
years presided over the courts of the
Blue Ridge circuit, has written a letter
in which he says the pardon board is an
unnecessary burden to the already over
hardened taxpayers of the STATE. He
says:
"But it is said the governor has rot
the time to | ok into the cases, and a
board can make briefs or abstracts of
the evidence and advise him il regard t.
them. But l apprehend but few people
would have much respect for a governor
who would pass upon the life or liberty
II a citizen upon somebody's bIief or ad-
vice without hearing all the evidence.
Besides, our governor seems to have am

The Merrimac Hero in the Hands of
Chicago Girls.
Chicago. Dec. 20.-Lieutenant Rich
ard Pearson Hobson was heavily bonn
barded by large field Of kissing girls
at the Auditorium tonight. but as no
distress signals were hoisted after the
engagement, It is not believed that he
was seriously injured. Lieutenant
Hobson lectured on "The Sinking of
the Merrimac," under the auspices of
the Chicago Press Club. and after the
lecture, the members of the audience
pressed forward for an impromptu re-
ception. There was much handshaking
and applause, but more interesting
than either were 1873 kisses given the
Merrimac's hero by as many girls. The
lieutenant met the attack bravely and
even seemed to encourage it.
During his brief stay in Chicago.
Lieutenant Hobson was the guest OF
General John McNulta. at the Union
League Club. After the lecture he
left for Kansas City, where he will
speak tomorrow evening. Tuesday
evening the distinguished naval off,
Ger will face an audience in Denver,
whence he will proceed to San Fran
cisco and sail for Manila December "a,

DEFIANT ONLY IN TALK.

Admiral Dewey's Opinion of tho Phil
ippine Insurgents.
Manila, Dec. 10. = Rear-Ad Wiral
Dewey. when a press correspondents
called upon him today, was courteous
and pleasant. but absolutely declined
to discuss the political situation in the
Philippine islands, on the ground that
his sphere was purely naval. He then
proceeded to cross-examine the CORE
spondent about everything ashore. He
was glad to learn that the insurgents
were releasing the sick Spanish SOL
diers they held as prisoners, notwith-
standing Aguinaldo's grandlloquent re-
fusal to do so. This proves that the
insurgents are very conciliatory, in
spite of their defiant talk.
Admiral Dewey always believed that
the insurgents were friendly, especial
~ since the warships of our feet have
visited the different ports OF those
islands, and since Soms Of our officers
have made tours inlaad, carefully in
vestigating popular sentiment and ju-
diciously preaching the gospel OF peace
full settlement everywhere with highly
satisfactory results.

D.maxing Evidence Introduced At the
Murder Trial.
San Francisco, Dec. 19.-The defense
in the Botkin murder trial today re-
oeiyed the worst setback it has expert
enced since the case opened. The evil
dence OF two Of the witnesses examined
today was OF such convincing nature
that the chagrin caused by it's introduce
ton was plainly written upon the faces
of the accused woman and her counsel.
The evidence clearly showed that Mrs..
Botkin wrote the anonymous letters
sent to Mrs. Cunning from this city.
apprising Mrs. Cunning Of the alleged
misconduct of her husband, and in
forming her that she had grounds for
commencing suit for divorce. The
handkerchief which was inclosed in
the box of poisoned candy was proven
to have been purchased in this city by
Mrs. Botkin, another link in the chain
of the prosecution.

There is story told of Mr.. Glad
stone which would show that the true
meaning of the old saying: do not
mix your drinks" was unknown 10 the
great statesman. 1t is said to have
been his habit to let the wines which
were served in the course of dinner
mobilize at his elbow, and during a
pause in the conversation seize the glass
that happened to be nearest. On one
occasion Mr.. Gladstone, who had re-
freshed himself as usual in this hap
hazard way, inveighed against the
practice of mixing wines. 1t was re-
spectfully pointed out to him that he
had been guilty of this very act: but
he explained, to his own satisfaction,
that to mix wines was to fill up half q
glass of champagne from the port de-
canterl-Cornhill Magazine.

Accident to the Cruiser Cincinnati in
Santiago Harbor.
Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 20.-While
the United States cruiser Cincinnati
was leaving port about sunset yester-
day, she ran full speed upon rock
clearly defined in the charts, but not
buoyed. Last September, General
Leonard Wood, considering that the
absence of buoy there might lead to
some accident, anchored small one.
the first ever placed there, but the
Bessie, on entering the harbor one
night, carried it away, and since then
there has been no buoy to mark the
location of the rock.
The Cincinnati probably is not seri-
ously damaged, as she is not making
water. For the last "a hours the gov
eminent collier Southery and the May.
flower have been engaged in an effort
to pull her off. Thus far they have
been unsuccessful. but it is hoped they
will have better luck tonight at high
tide. The principal risk now is tearing
a hole in the cruisers bottom while she
is pulling of.

Martha washington's Oven.


G. L. Brainard, an Oak Park drug.
gist, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
while searching among some family
hei,looms recently, found an oven
which had once belonged to Martha
Washington. In the same trunk was a
letter which gave history Of the relic.
The oven has the appearance of a ket-
tie. It is round iron pot, about six
inches deep and thirteen inches in
diameter. The sides of the kettle are
black. Martha Washington gave the
oven to Mrs. Mary Denning, in 1878,
in exchange for some knitting. Mrs.
Denning kept it until her death, In
1872. when it came into the possession
of her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Rem
shaw. During the war of 1912 Mrs.
Denning, who was living in Brandy
wine Manor, Pa. buried the oven in
her yard with 5000 in it. In 1910
Mrs. Renshaw exchanged the oven for
some coal oil and tobacco to E. w.
Wright. storekeeper Of Coatesville,
Pa. Mrs. Wright kept it until her
death, in 1878, when it was stored
away with some other furniture and
forgotten. @. L. Brainard, grandson
of the storekeeper, visited the old
homestead and found the oven.
