ANSWERS LAST CUE.
Tom Warfeld, the Old-Time Min. s.- strel, is Dead.

A man who had made thousands laugh in his time, died in a room at the Metro politan hotel yesterday.
 During the last few months almost every one in Birmingham has become familiar with the figure of Tom Hersey, or Tom Warfield, as he was better known in the mimic world. Upright, honest. jolly, and always with some fresh joke, he was a most companionable fellow No one had any idea he was i'll and it was only a few days ago that he was stricken with paraly- sis. Yesterday he passed away in the arms of MT. Victor Cudgen of the Metropolitan, who had known him for years.
 Tom Hersey was 52 years of age and had spent his life 'at the show" He was born in New Orleans and there entered the pro- fssien. For years he played with the fore most minstrel organizations, besides car rying out several shows of his own. He was at different times associated With Luke Schoolcraft, Billy Emerson, the Bar- lows and Dupree and Benedict The most successful venture of his own was the War field and Wick's minstreis.
 Tom Warfield taught mony of the leading blak face comedians of today the business and it was treat to listen to him play the banjo for hours. He and Hall, who now recites the history of that instrument, were once end men together
 The old minstrel star met his reverses, but characteristic of those of the stage, he never gave way, but always had some pun Ito spring suiting the occasion. All the old lovers of minstrelsy will stop when they read of the death of Tom Warfield, and a tear will melt away the smile of his jokes which made them laugh years ago.
 The body will be taken to New Orleans today accompanied by MT. George Hersey and MT D. M. Craig of that city.
 He was a charter member of Baltimore lodge No. Benevolent and Protective Or der of Elks, and of the Knights of Pyth- ias.

 If the Marquis of Salisbury's speech made clear any fact 1t was that Great Britain does not intend to diminish her armaments, regardless of the czar's proposals in that z direction. The energetic prosecution of the work of putting the British navy on war footing after the Fashoda incident is closed inspired speculation, some construing 1t as forebodng war over the Philippine islands and others linking it with the Chinese prob- lem and the presence of 40,0OO Russians at Port Arthur, who might conceivably be marched to PelSin for the protection of the Russian interests.
 Taking Time by the Forelock
 Others, however, conclude that the Brit ish admiralty is utilizing the opportunity for manoeuvres for which parliament, un- der calmer conditions would not authorize the expenditures.
 Frances view of the British ornaments may be conjectured from the persisteney with which she plays Toulon against Ports- mouth.
 The Fashoda incident has unquestionably left a bitter taste in French mouths, the condescendingly soothing tone of the Eng fish papers which have been expressing themselves as if dealing with fractious children has only served to intensity. The French statesmen and the newspapers of France frankly bewail the whole affair and say the nation has suffered a great hu- initiation. They also hint vaguely at a future revenge.

LA CHANGES TRIAL.
It Will be Held in St. Paul
Wednesoay,-J. II. Rhodes
to Defend Him,

Attorney J. H. Rhodes was in st.
Paul Wednesday and was engaged
by Joseph Lachance, the "divine
healer" to defend him in his trial up
on the charge OF violating one of the
statutes In regard to practicing medl-
cine without a license.
Lachance's trial will come before
Judge Otis, OF the St. Paul m unicipal
court, next Wednesday.
Lachance was arrested upon the
complaint OF DR.. j. B. Brunhall,
secretary of the state medical board,
and the statute he is charged with
violating reads as follows:
ANY person practicing medicine or
surgery within this state without
first having obtained the license
herein provided for, or contrary to the
provisions of this act, shall be deemed
guilty OF u misdemeanOr, and upon
conviction shall be fined not lees than
fifty nor more than q hundred dollars
or by imprisonment In the county
jail not less than ten days nor more
than ninety days, or by both fine
and imprisonment. Any person
shall be regarded as practicing with
in the meaning OF this act, who
shall append the letters IN. d." or
IN. B." TO his or her name, or for q
fee prescribe, direct or recommend
Tor the use OF any person any drug
Or medicine Or other agency for the
treatment. care or relief of any
wound, fracture or bodily injury. in
trinity or disease, provided however,
this act shall not apply to dentists.
Justices of the peace and the respec-
tive municipal courts shall have
jurisdiction over violations of this
act. 1t shall be the duty of the re-
spective county attorneys to prose-
cute violations of this act"
Just in what manner Lachance is
charged with violating the pro-
visions OF this act, is not known to
the defense at present. Lachance
says he has not prescribed or rec
commended the use of any drug or
medicine to any OF his patients, and
it would seem that the prosecution
will rely on the words, "other
agency" for a conviction. Under
those words would come osteopathy
and various other remedies for disease
and as the practice OF Osteopathy
and similar agents for the cure of
diseases has been held by the courts
of other states not to be q violation
Of the law in regard to practicing
medicine, the defense is confident Of
a victory In this case. Lachance
states that the only agency he has
employed In the treatment of disease
is prayer, and that he has been sue
cesstul in curing many patients
whom the doctors Of St. Paul have
been treating for years, hence the de-
sire on the part of the st. Paul
phys icians to prevent his practicing.

condition would have continued.
As for the second, we have stead.

ognized that we will continue to
maintain, the present gold stand
ard against all assaults, and the
credit of the government under
the present administration is such
that the war situation has not af-

versally is this recognized that l
feel that the people will no longer
have the patience to tolerate those
who would destroy our money
standard and our credit.
When our relations with Spain
begun to be acute, the Democratic
leaders, and a few Republicans,
sought by constant effort to crowd
the administration into war before
the country was properly prepared.
It has since been demonstrated
that delay was the better part of
wisdom. Indeed, 1t was absolute
ly necessary for proper prepara-
ton. The people now fully recog-
nize this, and the administration
is now commended by all reason
able men, where before many con.

Kinley is much stronger with the
people that he was of the begin.
ming of his administration, and that
is saying good deal. His course
is commended by the Republicans
almost to man, and commenda-
ton of his action is not by any
means confined to the Republican
party. He has demonstrated his
ability as leader and executive Of
a great nation, and l believe he
will haye the Endorsement of the
entire country.
When we think of all these
things the Republicans Of the Sixth
district of Minnesota have reason
to feel confidence III the results of
the approaching election, and my
correspondence indicates thatsuch
a feeling does exist throughout the
entire district. If We will be
loyal to Our principles and patient
and devoted in the coming cam,
paign, the success of our party is
assured. T.
Please express to the convention
