HOBsON's GOOD TASTE

From the New York Mail and Express.
Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson
acted like man when he sank the Merri-
mac at the mouth of Santiago harbor, and
as occasion has required he has talked like
a man ever since. The latest display of his
strong, modest common sense appears in
his explanation of his declination of an
offer of $4,000 for a certain number of
public lectures on his naval achievements
He says:
1t would be idle for me to say that 1
did not consider the proposition care
fully did. My people are all in mod
crate circumstances, but my reflections
led me to this conclusion: Before the
sinking OF the Merrimac my lectures
would have been worth probably not
more than 90 cents; the sinking of the
Merrimac seems to have made them
worth $780, 900. The work which so sud-
denly raised my stock in literary trade
was done in simple execution of nv
duty as an officer in the American navy.
l did not feel that / had right to use
the performance OF that duty for my
financial betterment. / therefore de-
clined the offer of $50, 0OO
Good for Hobson! Fame has not spoiled
him. His head retains its normal propor-
tons. His refusal of an offer naturally SO
tempting to a person in moderate circum-
stances is manly and heroic He manifests
a sense of duty and self-respect which
would serve as a rebuke to many persons
who are all too easily persuaded to ex-
plot their own achievements for purposes
of revenue only. .t4

RENO sURRENDERs.
Killed William Dawes in a South SIDE
Saloon.


William Reno, who killed William Dawes
in saloon in, South Eighteenth street on
Saturday night last by striking him in the
head with a billiard cue, last night surren-
dered to Syl DAILY, warden of the county
jail, who has been working on the case for
the past two days.
The surrender was made near Reno's
home, near the rolling mill, and the prison.
er was at once taken to the county jail and
locked up,
1t is understood that, Reno claims that
Dawes made threats against him and that
he, Reno, acted in self-defense.
1t is also stated that Reno waited on the
verdict of the coroner,s jury before surren-
dering, the finding being communicated to
him by friends.
The prisoner could not be seen last night
to get statement as to the circumstances
of the killing, which will come out in the
preliminary examination.
Reno is an employee of the Birmingham
rolling mills and has many friends among
the mill men.

FORGERY CHARGED.
G. T. Bunch and E. E. Moore Arrested
by the Police.


c. T. Bunch and E. E. Moore, two we'll
known men about town, have been arrested
on the charge of forgery. 1t is alleged that
they passed a forged check for $40 on J.
Blach & Sons.
The men were arrested early yesterday
morning by Officers johnson, Culpepper,
Bodeker and Powell and were locked up in
the city prison. They both deny the charge
and will be given hearing in the inferior
criminal court tomorrow.
Some days ago the check was presented
to J. Blach & Sons in the regular course of
business. 1t appeared to be all right, but
as an extra precaution the bearer was told
to have it okayed at the First National
bank where it was made payable.
This was readily agreed to and the young
man left the store, returning in few min
utes with the words 20. K, George Ward
Receiving Teller of the First National
Bank" written across the face of 1t. The
check was accepted and the next day was
deposited for collection. When It was pre-
scented for payment 1t was thrown out, the
party on whom II was drawn not carrying
an account at the bank.
and it is on this that the men were
arrested. $50
Another check for 500, signed by the
same party has been presented at several
places, but was not cashed.

CASE Of PUT UP0R
BE FROZEN OUT
Continual from Page l.


Birmingham, praying for a receiver for all
the property of the Birmingham Rolling
Mill company. This was done with the
idea that the receiver should continue the
operation of the mill, so that labor would
in no wise be discouraged; 1t being the
opinion of large majority of the creditors
that the best interest of all concerned
would be advanced by keeping the plant at
work as a going concern.
Upon the filing of the bill, and after
proper consideration, Chancellor Car
michael appointed Thomas Ward, general
manager of the company at Birmingham,
and J. w. Barr, Jr., of Louisville, vice.
president of the company, to be receivers in
chancery. They were the gentlemen named
by the deed of assignment filed Wednes-
day. and ar receivers for all the property
involved.
1.-THE chancellor directed the receivers to
continue the operation Of the plant in full
and to pay all unpaid wages and the cur
rent pay roll.
1.-The whole purpose of this proceeding is
to keep the rolling mill going and prevent
any disturbance of labor and any injury
to the interests of the property or to Bir-
mingham.
1.-The hope and confident expectation of
the creditors and stockholders is that the
plan devised and sanctioned by the chan
cellor will result in an arrangement being
devised whereby the operations of the great
plant may be continued on a permanent and
entirely satisfactory basis. 1t seems to me
that there need not be any cause for ap-
prehension in any direction. It is the fixed
purpose of those concerned to keep the roll
ing mill in operation as a going concern"
