Professor Wideman, in speak
ing Of his trip to DeLand, says:
The people of DeLand We'd with
each other in their efforts to have
the teachers enjoy themselves.
The association was never before
shown such hospitality. The pro-
gram was we'll executed and re-
plcte with good things which will
probably be of benefit to every
child whose teacher was in at
tendance. But, of all the good
things, nothing SO impressed me
as Stetson University. | have
seen it advertised in the papers
but never imagined it to be of
such magnificent proportions
Over $500, 900 have been spent on
buildings, library, etc, and the
faculty consists of tWenty-three
teachers. In my judgment there
IS not school in the Southern
states better equipped for the
business. Above all others Stet-
son University is the school for
my girl and boys. "-Gainesville

THEY NEED A PITCHER.
The Indians From Haskell LedWash-
burn a Sorry Chase.

Augusta marched onto the diamond
last Saturday and was followed by
eight braves from the Haskell Indian
school at Lawrence, all Intent upon
seeing how many scalps they could
wrest from Washburn and have dang
ling at their belts when they returned
to the quiet village of Lawrence. The
Washburn team took the field and the
Indians went out in one, two, three or
der The Washburnites did the same
and for two innings not a score was
made and not a man passed second 1t
was good, clean ball. Both sides play
ed with a vim.
In the third inning Baxter, pitcher
for the Washburrs, seemed to give out
and went wild and before the Indians
stopped they had eight runs to their
credit. This was kept up during the
fourth for five runs and in the fifth for
four. Then Washburn gathered itself
together and played ball. The Indians
got one in the seventh and two in the
ninth and with 20 to Washburn's they
were ready to quit.
1t was a good game of ball while the
Washburn pitcher lasted and the pres
ent Washburn team with Stricklet in
the box would be able to play all
around many of the teams that have
played in Topeka.

ABOLISH BOARD OF PARDoNs.
A Kansas City, Kansas, Thief Let Out
to Steal Some More.

Governor Leedy placed the executive
clemency machine in operation again
Saturday and ground out three more
pardons. Two were pardons for con-
victs in the state penitentiary, and
third was a pardon from the Butler
county Jail.
F. A. Skinkle was sent to the peniten-
tiary from Cowley county in 1889 for IA
years for criminal assault on the per-
son of his ep-daughter, and has since
become insane. His pardon becomes
effective at once and he is to be taken
back to his home in COwley county.
Eli Parker, a colored man of Kansas
City, Kan, who was sent to the peni-
Tertiary in 1896 for five years for steal
ing whisky and cigars, will be released
under a pardon from the governor to-
morrow. Samuel Crowley has been in
the Butler county jail since December
serving an eight months sentence for
assaulting another Butler county resi-
dent at a Fourth of July celebration
last year. He will be released at once.

SHOCKS A PRIEST.
a Lively Skirt Dance Causes Com
motion at Fair.

New York April 25.-Everyone in the lit
tie village of Whitestone, l.. L, was talk
ing today about the scene created by
priest in Knabe's theater Saturday night.
The priest who has occasioned all the ex-
element is the Rev. Father Tierney of
Bayside.
A fair was organized in Whitestone I'M
der the auspices Of the local Grand Army
men. 1t was held in Knabe'S theater.
The Rev. Father Tierney was present.
He quietly watched the various parts of
the programme as they were gone through
until Kitty Love, q skirt dancer from New
York city. took the stage Kitty was in
the usual costume and she smiled delight
fully at the audience as she began to fling
her dainty limbs around.
Father Herney sat in silence. Finally
he could restrain his indignation no longer
and rising up he hurried toward the door.
He denounced the performance as immoral
and harmful to those who it, and
loudly demanded that all Catholics leave
the house. Some people got up and left

BALD VS.. MITCHELL.
Match Series Arranged for Last. Fall
Will Take Place This Summer.

New York, April 25.-There was con-
cluded in this city today arrangements
for the greatest series of match races
ever brought to a successful issue. e.
{. Bald, for three years the champion
Splinter of America, and James Michael,
for two years the champion of the mid
die distance class, We're matched for a
$1,000 a side, each man to have ten pace
makers and the pace to remain until the
finish of the contest.
This series of matches was once prac-
tically arranged last fall, but owing to
the sickness of Bald, was prevented at
that time. Arrangements have been
pending for some time this spring, and
today the American Cycle Racing assoc
citation posted the money for Bald Which
Manager Sbafer quickly covered, the
association posting Bald'S money secur-
ing the control of the races. Bald had
left everything in the hands of MI. Pow
ers some time ago. No date for the
that none will be known for some time.
Manager Shafer was wiling today
that the first contest should be brought
off in June. From this it is probable
that Michael intends to be in condition
much earlier than was expected.
Owing to the manner of riding Bald
will need to have different training
from that he is taking at present, as his
fastest mile back of pace has been
LAG AS, while Michael has Travelled
easily in world record time. 1:36
1t was the statement of Bald that he
could follow just as fast pace as could
be set that led to the match now ar
ranged for. No tracks were decided
upon for the first two matches, but it is
will secure them, the first named being
Raids town.

hold the key to health.
Morrow's Kidneoids are the only known
remedy that will absolutely restore full

when the world needed them most, as to-
day kidney diseases are more prevalent
than ever before.
To facilitate the action of Morrow's Kid
neoids, the stomach must first be put in a
normal condition. For this purpose Liver
lax was prepared by the same eminent
chemist to be used in conjunction with
Kidneoids. Liverlax is the best laxative
to use with Kidneoids, because IT
is prepared to scientifically blend

LACE FACTORY EXPLOSION
a Thousand Pairs of Curtains Blown
Into the Street.

Patchogue, L. L, April 25.-Patchogue
was shaken Saturday night by a ire
mendous explosion just about midnight
and upon investigation it was found
that the steam kerr in the bleaching de-
partment of the Patchogue Lace COM
pany's mills had exploded, demolishing
the bleach house and scattering a
thousand pairs of lace curtains from the
bleaching vat through the streets of the
town.
The force of the explosion was so
great that a twenty foot piece of six
inch iron pipe was blown two hundred
feet into the air. No one was hurt
The engineer and night Waterman had
left the building only few minutes be-
fore. The bleach house adjoins the
main building in which nearly 200 men
and women are employed, and had the
explosion taken place in the daytime a
panic would have ensued with a proba-
BILE loss of life. The loss is estimated
at several thousand dollars.

WATER FOR TROOPS.
Government Preparing to Furnish a
Pure Supply in Cuba.

Washington, April 25.-The war de-
partment is having built a number of
steel tanks in which water will be con-
Veyed to Cuban ports. This measure
is adopted with the object in view of
avoiding the contamination of the water
supply in Cuba, and is intended to pro-
vide fresh water for the invading army
The base of supplies for drinking water
will be Key West, where the navy de-
partment is building large distilGng
plant capable of producing 100000 gal
Ions per day.
The water will be taken to Cuba in
water boats, and will be distributed to
the troops as long as they are in con-
venient proximity to the coast. One
of the most serious problems of the
campaign in Cuba will be the furnish
ing of drinking water to the troops.
Such condition has not confronted the
military supply authorities of any army.
The climatic conditions of Cuba dur
ing the summer, however, are such as
to present many serious problems to
the medical and subsistence depart
ments. The greatest care must be ex-
ercised in preserving the health of Off
GERS and men.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
An Ex-Member of Congress Who is
Said to Have Written Checks
IndiScrimiuatelv

Washington, April 25.-An ex-member
of congress from California, who was a
witness of the ry-Broderiek duel,
and at one time a man of renown, has
recently been guilty of forgery in the
capitol building. Having the privilege
of the floor of the house he makes the
acquaintance of many members. He is
very old, yet very entertaining and peo-
pie like him. He has written several
checks, one of them for $50, another $40,
another $35 and another for SIS on the
sergeant-at-arms of the house of rep
resentatives and has signed names of
members of congress with whom he has
become acquainted.
All of them admitted the checks with
some remonstrance, but with no vindic-
tiveness towards. the former. The last
check, however, for SIS, was signed with
the name of a congressman from West
Virginia, who says that unless the
amount is made good he will put the
old man in the penitentiary. These cases
have been in charge of Chief Detective
Sinnott of the capitol, a very capable
man, and it was he who discovered the
forger. The old man has done enough
business to warrant his rest in a peni-
tertiary cell; but it is quite likely that
friends of better days will help him out
of the difficulty

GLADSTONE'S CONDITION.
It is Little Changed From That of the
Past Month.

London, April 25.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle this morning says the rumor that
Mr.. Gladstone has not spoken in two
days is without foundation. On the
contrary, the paper says, he spends
much of the time in conversation with
members of his family, and yesterday
talked quite cheerfully with his medical
advisers.
Throughout the entire period of his
suffering he has been most patient and
accomplishing. His pain continues to
be less acutely felt and he takes food
tolerably well.
All reports agree as to the noble, I'M
f1inching fOrtitude of his demeanOr. Mr..
Gladstone occasionally comes down to
dinner, dressing for the table, though
his meals are often served in the libra
ry. He lies for hours with closed eyes,
listening to music. He has given his
parting blessing to many friends, young
and old His calm endurance of pain
and all that is before him is unchanged
and invariably those who have witness
ed it cannot speak regarding it without
tears.

THEY FIGHT NEPOTISM.
Republicans Revive an Old Grudge
Against e. g. Cole.

Republicans of the Seventh district,
especially in those counties which are a
part of the western division of the
southern department of the court of
appeals have revived an old grudge
against Judge Elrick G. Cole and are
fighting his candidacy for the position
court on the Republican tiLket.
When Mr.. Cole was elected Judge of
the court he appointed his wife as his
official stenographer at a salary of SO
men candidates for the place and they
were disappointed, a sort of a young
crowd rebellion against Cole has been
organized and his chances for the NOM
ination he has been seeking for several
years are said to have dwindled very
perceptiblY since this fight was started.

BATH FOR A NICKEL,
Public Bath House in the Heart of
Philadelphia

Philadelphia, April 25.-The new pub
lie bath and wash house at Naudain
and Leithgow streets, which will be
publicly opened today, was accessible
Saturday afternoon to visitors, large
number of whom accepted the invita-
ton extended to them by the trustees
of the Public Bath association.
The building has been erected in order
to meet the crying need of bathing fac
ilities in the older and more densely
crowded portion of Philadelphia, and is
complete in every detail. Here, for the
ridiculously low sum of five cents, a
person can obtain a hot or cold bath
every day in the year. The ground on
which the building stands cost S. $50.
The building cost $21, 7SS. OF this money
there is still s., 900 to be raised and it is
hoped that this sum will be raised long
before the summer season is underway
