Witnesses Say the Chaplain Did Not
SANDER Naval Officers.

DENVER, Col, Oct AT the resunop-
ton to-day of the court-martial of Rev
Joseph F. Mcintyre, chaplain of the battle
ship Oregon, Mr.. Otto Reinhardt, a merch-
ant, was called by the defense He testi-
fled that Chaplain Mcintyre, in his lecture
Aug. s, stated that the Oregon was one of
the finest vessels in the navy and that she
was as honestly built as any Eastern-built
vessel. Nothing was said about Eastern
shipbuilders cheating the government. Mr..
Reinhardt testified that the chaplain said
that when the Oregon "tore toward the
enemy she passed the Iowa going the other
way" Witness heard no statement to the
effect that Captain Evans took the Iowa
to the rear and kept her there during the
battle. Witness remembered that the chap
lain said that when the Cristobal Colon
hauled down her flag the ships of the
American fleet, aside from the Oregon, were
at some distance, and that Captain Clark,
of the Oregon. waited for the New York to
come within signaling distance, so as to
receive orders before going to the Spanish
ship. The chaplain, witness declared, did
not say that Admiral Sampson reported
himself within four miles so as to partici-
pate in the distribution of the prize money.
Mr.. Reinhardt remembered that the chap
lain stated that Admiral Sampson would

that Chaplain Mcintyre salu substantially
to the audience in connection with the dis
tributiOn of the prize money, And you,
who had as much to do with the battle as
the admiral, will not get a cent" The
chaplain called Captain Evans Fighting
Bob but not in a sneering and contemptu-
Gus manner.
Peter Whine, an insurance agent, corrob-
GRATED previous witnesses as to Chaplain
McIntyre's claims of excellence in the con-
struction of the Oregon, but denied that he
accused Eastern ship builders of cheating
the government or that he said the Oregon
was the only vessel honestly built Speak
ing of the battle, witness testified that
Chaplain Mcintyre said when the Oregon

not say that Fighting Bob took the Iowa
to the rear and kept her there throughout
the battle. In speaking of the division of
lain said Admiral Sampson would receive
$4,000, Captain Clark $500, and the audience,
who had as much to do with the battle
as Admiral Sampson. would get nothing.
He denied that the chaplain said Sampson
reported himself within four miles in order
to get a share of the prize money. The
chaplain spoke of Captain Evans in hui
morous manner Fighting Bob" The
audience laughed when he so spoke. He
used no sneering or contemptuous manner.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Winne's testimony

A novelist in Boston-do not laugh.
there are noveIists in Boston, yes, and
actually living there-said to us the
other day, "If only could find a plot!'
Here is a plot for him free of charge.
and the story is true one, says the
Boston Journal. In 1879 a lady-a real
-lady-came into Birmingham, Eng
land, with a handsome equipage, and
desired the landlord of the inn to get
her a husband, being determined to
marry somebody or other before she
left the town. The man bowed, and
supposed her ladyship to be in a ia

went out in search of man that
would marry fine lady without ask

from poor fellows who were not des-
perate enough for such a venture, he
met with an excise man, who said he
could not be in worse condition
than he was" and accordingly went
with the innkeeper and made a tender

Personal Purity.

Thomas Elva Edison was once asked
why he was total abstainer. He said:
1 thought l had better use for my
head" The answer is worth remem-
oering by any young fellow who means
to use his brains. A wonderful battery
they make. Every morning they take
up their work and start us on our daily
pleasure or daily duty, II we have not
tried this stimulus or that stimulus,
not in the plan for which they were
made.
The young man who means to do the
best possible work his body and mind
can do keeps his body and mind pure,
as clean from outside filth as Edison
Keeps his brain. This is what is meant
when we are told to keep ourselves as
pure as little children are.
The men who are trained for a foot
ball match, or a running match. or a
boxing match, have to keep their bodies
from any stimulus but that which is
given by food prepared in the simp-
lest way. so as to suit the most simple
appetite.
1t Is not simply that a mans body
must be in good order itself; what is
needed is that a man shall be ready
ana able to govern his body. He shall
say, Go" and his body shall go. He
shall say, go faster" and his body
shall go faster. His will, his power to
govern his machinery, depends on his
keeping himself pure.-Rev. E. e. Hale
