McNAIR'S LOST OPPORTUNITY.

There is one naval officer to whom the
grand ceremonies of the Dewey reception
in New York will bring mingled memories
of pain and pleasure. Commodore Nc
Nair, from our n%elghboring county of
Bucks. and a son of Congressman Nc
Nair, h occupied a high position among
the public men of the state, was in COM
mand of the Asiatic squadron, and with
in a few months of the period when he
would naturally be retired from sea SER
vice. Not expecting war with Spain, he
was quite willing to be relieved of his
command before the expiration of his
term, and Dewey was assigned to the va
cancy that was made with the assent or
without objection of Commodore McNair.
Had McNair. who was an officer of ripe
experience, been anxious to continue in
command, it is quite probable that he
would have been permitted to remain,
and trained as he was under Farragut
along with Dewey, there is little doubt
that he would have achieved the victory
for which Dewey now wears the greenest
laurels of the nation. - Philadelphia

Helena. Nov. Airs. Florence Miller,
a woman living by taking in washing,
was found dead on the floor of a room Of
the St. Louis hotel his morning under
suspicious circumstances. A man by the
name of John Cooney. a laborer. with
whom she had retired. was in a drunken

band a MAI by the name of Thorne,
whose name she did not use, lives in Mis-

woman leaves three children. one a girl

when her mother died.
"A surprise was sprung here today in
the litigation over the estate of Richard
AshWorth. a wealthy Wyoming cattle
man, who died in France last year. when
a second will was offered in evidence. A
petition was recently presented to the
district court here for the appointment
of T. 3. Moss of Billings as administra-
tor of the property. This was resisted
by Judge Fraser of Billings. whose son,
the terms of the will filed for pro-
bate in Billings, comes in for a large
portion of the estate. Ashworth's father
and others question this will. The will
filed today is Photographic. 1t leaves all
the property to Ashworth, the father, of
Manchester. England, excepting 5000
life insurance left to young Fraser. The
new will was made in 1896. the former
will i'm 1898. The court here today de-
clined to appoint Moss administrator,
saying that a jury would have to deter
mine which was the right will. The case
promises to develop into "a big piece of
will litigation, as the estate is worth
about $10o. GOO.
The court also passed upon bills that
should be allowed attorneys in the All
port case. The bill of Wines g. Wines
of Butte WAS reduced from $4,000 to ST. 500.
The bill of George Cowan of Boulder was
reduced from s.. 800 to s.. 200.

A Good and Faithful Man.

Now that Vice President Hobart is
dead the epitaphs that he ought to
have read long ago have been writ
ten, and men of all parties recognize
that this man who was quite un-
known to the general public before
his election has filled a difficult posi-
tion with great credit. He was very
close to the president in his councils
and this is as "a re as it is common
dable, and his part in Kidding the adj
ministration of one Alger is familiar
to our readers. In issuing a procla-
nation on Tuesday of last week the
president paid this deserving tribute
to his work:
His participation in the business life
and the lawmaking body of his native
state was marked by answering fidelity
and by high order of talents and at
tainments, and his too brief career as
vice president of the United States and
president OF the senate exhibited the
lottiest qualities OF upright and sagacious
craftsmanship. In the world OF affairs
he had few equals among his contempt.
raries. His private character, gentle and
noble, will long be remembered by friends
as that OF man of singular purity and
attractiveness whose sweetness of dis
position won all hearts while his elevated
purpose, his unbending integrity and
whole-h hearted devotion to public good,
deserved and acquired universal respect
and esteem.

Great Cry; Little Wool.

The newspaper silly season is sup
posed to end with the dog days, but
the press the past week has been
frenzied over the transfer of Admiral
Dewey's house to his wife and her
transfer of the same property to the
Admirals son. The American people,
or at least good many of them,
got tremendously excited over the
event and rushed into print TO vent
their feelings upon a man who few
days ago was the idol of the people
and whom every man, woman and
child delighted to honor. The excite
ment has subsidized and the American
people are beginning to realize that
Admiral Dewey's private affairs are
his own business and not to be
brought into public print for judg-
ment. The Admiral was compelled
to publicly state his views upon the
whole matter and we commend to
our readers the ideas of the hero Of
Manila:
"When made over this house to my
wife. thought l was doing the most
gracious act that an American gentle
man could do. thought the people had
given me this house for me to dispose Of
as chose. 1t seems that | was mis-.
taken. ! would never have sold it, nor
given it, nor willed it, nor disposed of it
in any manner whatsoever outside OF my
own family But did believe had the
right to give it to my wife or my son if l
chose to do so.
when | accepted the house / thought
it was a gift. l did not know that the
people who contributed the money to
buy it gave it to me with string tied to
it, or never should have taken it. 1t
never occurred to me that any one could
have even tancied cause for offence if |
did not take the public into my conf
dence or consult with them in regard to
transferring to my wife the property
which they had presented to me. |
could see no improperly in it.
Under the law, the moment we were
married she became possessed Of one
third it. could not convey it or sell
it without her consent. | understand
that it is the custom in the majority of
cases where homes are owned and oc-
cuped by American families that they
stand in the name OF the vile. Other
American gentlemen have this privilege;
why should not have it AS for con-
veying it to my wife to avoid payment
OF any debts or obligations, can only
say that | have never had any debts"
