Death of DR.. p. w. Dempsey.

The death Of DR.. Peter w. Dempsey,
who was for some years a prominent
figure in the Catholic circles of this
city, was announced in St. Johns
cathedral by Rev. Father j. j. Keogh
yesterday morning. The first advices
of his death in Mexico, where he had
beer seeking a restoration of health
were received in this city Friday by
Rev. Father McGill, of the Holy Ros-
airy church. The news was not unex-
pected, as DR.. Dempsey's condition
had become SO serious that his brother,
Rev. Father Thomas Dempsey, of
Monroe, had left several weeks ago
for Mexico. He was with his brother
when the latter passed away.
DIR. Dempsey first practiced medi-
cine in this city, and for eight years
enjoyed large practice. He was
associated with DR.. Regan until the
latter's death. He came to this city
from his home in Dodge county, and
was a graduate of Rush Medical col
lege, Chicago. He was unmarried, of
great personal popularity and promi-
nent IN many societies and lodges.
He was the official physician of the
Order of Foresters and the Catholic
Knights, and a member of St. Johns
cathedral parish. Two years ago his
health became impaired, being threat
ened with consumption. The trip to
Mexico was then taken, where the
climate was found to have been bene-
fetal until the beginning of his serious
illness in December. He leaves a
mother and other relatives in South
Milwaukee. DR.. Dempsey was 80
years Of age. Prayers were held for
him yesterday morning at St. Johns
cathedral. Milwaukee Sentinel, 7th
inst.
The foregoing refers to a member
Of a former town of Clyman family
who had an extensive acquaintance
hereabouts. Dr. Dempsey's untimely
death is learned of with sincere regret
by many friends of his boyhood days.

Honesty and Virtue.

There is more honesty and virtue
contained in bottle of Salvation Oil,
than in any other liniment known.
"Mrs. A. Fielder, 1864 Palethorp St.,
Philadelphia, Pa, confirms this truth:
She found Salvation Oil to be an ex-
cellent remedy for rheumatism, stiff
joints, bruises, ETC., and thinks it
should always be kept in the house."

SOMERVILLE, Mass, Dec 2O.-Mayor A.
A. Perry a member of Willard c. Kinsley
post No. 1S9. G. A. r., has written a letter
to the post severely condemning that portion
of President McKinley's address at ATLANTA,
suggesting that it would be proper for the
government to assist in the care and preser-
walton of Confederate cemeteries. The letter
says:
perhaps it is better for me to stay away
from Grand Army gatherings for a time, at
least until recover from the shock of state
ments recently made by President Mckinley
at Atlanta l love the South and her people,
and no one rejoices more than 1 at the
splendid spectacle of a reunited people pre-
sented during the recent war with Spain.
But l cannot believe yet that it is the duty
of the nation to give the same attention to
the graves of the men who sought to destroy
it as the resting places OF che men who died
to uphold it, God forbid that any expression
should come from my lips pen. to revive
the sad memories Of the past. Let us extend
the warm hand of fellowship to our Southern
brothers. Let US give them ungrudgingiy OF
cur love- But let US not do any act or ap-
prove any policy from which future genera
tions may infer that the great American
public in the closing years of the nineteenth
century had become SO blind that she could
not distinguish between her saviours and her
Would-be destroyers.''

days. There are 10000 Spanish troops
still in Havana and it's environs, but
the last few thousand will embark
simultaneously
This information was particularly
agreeable to the Americans, because all
Spanish troops who remain here after
Jan. 1 will have to be protected.
At o'clock this afternoon the orders
which had been issued to the Eighth
and Tenth regular infantry to occupy
the seacoast batteries were charged at
the request Of Capt. Gen. Castellanos,
who fears that a conflict of authority
might occur should the Americans oc-
cupy any portion Of the city prior to
the final evacuation.
At noon today Maj. Russell B. Harri-
sen, with a detachment of the First
North Carolina regiment, raised the
Stars and Stripes over Fort Atares, in
full sight Of the wreck of the United
States battleship Maine. Maj Harri-
| son, as provost of the Seventh corps, is
! charged to preserve order In Cerero,
Atares and Jesus del Monte, suburbs Of
Havana. Two companies of the Second

guard duty.
Cuban irreconcilables talk of over

On the second floor, was assisted to the

WINONA, Dec 20.-(SpeciaI 1.-The
first real good airing that the affairs
of the Winona normal school have had
was begun today in the ordinary Of
Hotel Winona, when a committee from
the state normal board, consisting of
George II. Clark, of Mankato; w. B.
Mitchell, of st. Cloud, and G. B. Ward,
Of Alexandria, started an investiga-
tion as to the reasons why President
Shepard did not recommend Prof. e.
J. Freeman for reappointment last
spring.
Mr.. Shepard made a statement
charging unuustWorthiness disIoyaIty
and inc1fciency.
Hot words passed frequently between
the beligerent educators and more than
once indications were given that soon
the fur would fly"
THE FIRST WITNESS.
At 1920 Prof. Freeman was called to
testify, both as to resignation and COM
pensatiOn for extra service in connec-
tion with the observatory and labora-
tories.
Il was called into the office Of Presi-
dent Shepard one evening" began the
witness. He was pleasant as usual,
and after a few minutes he told me to
prepare for surprise I thought he
was about to suggest a cut in my sal
airy, but was entirely unprepared for
a demand for my resignation. This,
he asked, refusing to give me any rea-
son for his course on the grounds
that it would raise an issue at every
point.
Il told Mr.. Shepard that I would not
give him an answer at that time, but
after due consideration [ told him
could not resign. Illness and death
in my family had left me in anything
but a pleasant financial situation.
tod him this, showed him that I could
not secure such another position with
out some time, and pointed out that I
would have to sacrifice my local prop
erty if I should resign. I did make
him this proposition, however; if he
would let me alone until January, 1899,
! would make arrangements to resign
at that time. Mr.. Shepard asked me
to put this proposition in writing and
I did so, feeling certain that he could
not help but accept it. Gentlemen,
there was never a question raised as
TO my loyalty, nor was there any ques-
tiOn as to the service gave the state
SHEPARD ASKS QUESTIONS.
When he had ceased speaking Mr.
Shepard carefully inspected the notes
he had made during the hearing and
started in to examine the witness on
his own account. The result of his
questioning was to bring Mr.. Freeman
to specifically set forth his grievances.
which he did, as follows:

cuse or hearing. For self protection I

manded urgency upon it. He then pro-
ceeded to expound his views, which
provoked great uproar
The premier, NJ. Dupuy, replied:
II should have thought that the
Dreyfus affair had already done the
country enough harm. NJ. Fournier's
proposals would do great damage. The
country needs and has an efficient
army to defend her. We must rally
around the army"
The motion for urgency was then de-
feated by SAT votes against 20.
In the senate a stormy discussion
took place over a bill increasing the
penalties for espionage and treason.
There were frequent references to Drey-
fus. Eventually the bill, which provid-
ed death for staff officers who are guilty
Of treason in time of peace, was adopt

States senator, / think it
Wouid be absurd for that
minority to do anything else
but nominate a candidate
against him. If the minority
had giUen up in despair years
ago, We wouid not now be re-
joicing oUer the election Of

not care Whether the nominee
be a Democrat, a Peoples

The three sections of the re-

formerly bore.
The minority should Ger

experience and ability be
chosen for leadership, shall

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Teller occupied the first half of to-
days session of the senate with a
speech in advocacy of the theory that
there are no restrictions upon the
right of the United States to expand
its borders so as to include far distant
territory. He went quite thoroughly
into the legal points bearing upon the
question, and also incidentally dis
cussed at some length a form of gov
ernment for the Philippines, saying
that he would encourage self govern
ment among the islanders, and would
give them the most liberal govern
ment which they were capable of man
aging, but that he would not take
down the American flag where once
placed.
The remainder of the session was
given up to the Nicaragua canal bill
Senator Caffery was the only speaker
on this subject and he opposed the
Morgan bill.

HAVANA, Dec. 20.-Samuel L. Israel of
New York, few days ago opened a little
store in Obispo street for selling American
flags and Jewelry. His wife last night ap-
pealed in tears to Gen. Greene, saying that
Israel had been arrested and that she can
not find him. Gen. Greene sent Capt. Mott
to Capt. Gen. Castellanos, asking that Israel
be produced and sent to Gen. Greene In an
hour an aide-de-camp of the captain general
brought the man to the Hotel Inglaterra He
had been in the Furza prison Israel said

down the flags and broke the show cases with
