A GREAT DEMONSTRATION
Awaits Dewey..-He Is Expected to Arriv
by the Fourth of July.

by the Fourth OF July.
Washington. Send Olympia S mail
to B. F. Stevens, No. 4, Trafalgar
Square, London, England, was the
notice given out at the navy depart
ment Friday. This is the first formal
indication that the famous flagship is
coming home Immediately. Upon in
quiry it was ascertanied that Secretary
Long had cabled Admiral Dewey per
mission to return at once to the United
States. He has been relieved Of the OBJ
legation Of remaining at Manila until
the Philippine commission Completes
its work. He is not even required to
await the cessation of hostilities, but
may start homeward at once.
The notice posted at the navy depart
ment indicates the Olympia will not
remain long enough to receive the next
outward mail The Mr. Stevens is the
naval departments agent at London to
distribute all the mail to the United
States warships in European waters, SO
he will see to it that the Olympia will
secure hers as soon as she passes the
Suez canal.
1t is estimated at the navy depart
ment that Dewey will reach the United
States in time for a national demon
stration on the Fourth of July next.
The Olympia will not come under full
steam, but nevertheless she should
make the run to New York in about
fifty five days from Manila.

New York. Secretary Of
the Treasury Frank V. Vanderlip has
consented to act as chairman Of a ma
tional committee to provide residence
in Washington for Admiral Dewey.
This form of testimonial Of national
gratitude was suggested as being most
suitable by Rear Admiral Upshur, re-
tired, whose letter to the Brooklyn Ea-
gle in this regard was published on
May II. Mr.. Vanderbilt stated that
he regarded the proposition as the most
sensible suggestion yet made in the
way Of honoring the admiral. The
governors Of all the states will be asked
to serve on the national committee,
and newspapers all over the country
will be requested by the committee
to solicit subscriptions, which will be
sent, either directly or through the gov
ernors Of the state in which the papers
are located, to the national treasurer in
Washington.

Saturday of the proposition to present
Admiral Dewey with a home, to ke

: : 1.-THE proposed gift of home to Ad-
miral Dewey is not only great and de-
served tribute to him, but an express
sion of the generous gratitude of the
people. 1t is something in which they
all wish to share and in which the wild

4Ashes OF Angels" Cake.

I once knew an estilaable lady who
in the absence of her cook undertook to
make certain kind of cake. She took
'ssome" of one kind of ingredient. "a lit
tie of another and a small quantity
of something else. To her delight and
surprise, the result was a cake of wa.ch
neither she nor any one else had ever
oeard. 1t was an entirely new cake and
an extremely delicious one. Proud OF
her achievement, the lady gave the cake
the beautiful and poetic name of ''ashes
cf angels, and on the very next occa-
sion when the absence OF her cook made
it possible for her to venture into her
kitchen she tried to repeat her success.
This event happened in the year 1888,
and ever since that date the unfortunate
lady has been vainly trying to repro
duce her wonderful cake. She has never
once succeeded, although she has made
at least 200 different varieties of cake
and pudding, each one of which has
been more deadly than the other She
is still hoping that one of these days
she may hit upon her ''ashes of angels
again, but as that cake was purely the
result cf chance the prospect that she
will be able to make it q second time IS
not bright. L. Alden in Pearson 8
Magazine.

Death of Mrs. Whitney.

Whitney, wife of the former secretary
of the navy, died shortly before |
O'Clock this afternoon
The change for the worse in Mrs
Whitney's condition came on last
Tuesday, and it became evident to
her physicians then that the end was
not far off.
Mrs Whitney was thrown from her
horse while fox hunting in Aiken, S.
c., on February 81, 1898. She tried
to pass under low bridge but struck
her head on beam and fell to the
ground She was unconscious when
picked up Everything possible was
done for her, but she remained
absolutely helpless from the time of
the accident until sne died She was
completely paraIyzed from the neck
down. Mrs. Whitney was the second
wife of ex-Secretary of the navy
Whitney, aud he was her second
husband, her first husband having
been Capt Randolph, of the British
navy.

Even Though He Hated Lawyers.

President Dreher Of Roanoke college
tells this story of the late Edward Aus
ten of Boston: Meeting President Eliot
of Harvard some years ago, he said,
with familiarity warranted by life
long acquaintance: Stop, Charles.
What is the next building you want at
Cambridge
President Eliot replied. The build
ing we most need now is new build
ing for the law school
'Oh, said Mr.. Austin, I hate law
yers! But what do you suppose such
building would cost?'
The president thought moment
and replied: 1t would depend on the
material used. An adequate building
of brick could be built for from $50. 600
to SO, 900.
.' Are you sure, asked Mr.. Austin
that 500, 600 would be enough to pro-
vide thoroughly good building!'
.s Yes, replied the president.

There is in New York very disrep-
utable locality known as Chinatown,
and vigorous crusade is on to do away
with it by widening the main street
that passes through it. In the discus
sion which this move has brought about
in the borough one very remarkable and
shameful fact was presented for consid-
Grafton by Father Mclaughlin, Roman
Catholic priest whose church is in
that neighborhood. He is thoroughly
familiar with the dens of vice and with
all the infamy of the locality. and he
said that it was constantly visited by
fashionable women in parties, who are
doing what they call stunning and

opium victims and have the worst char
acters of both sexes pointed out to their
dainty curiosity They thus make a
public exhibition of forms of vice and
misery that cannot even be written
about, and they give certain sensa-
tional importance to degradation by be-
coming interested in its enormity with
out ever caring to relieve it There is
no doubt great deal of just censure in
this. 1t became a fad few years ago
for delicate girls to go Summing. They
wanted to see all that men see Profess

nonsense got to be a police nuisance in

The Death In the Chair.

The execution Of Mrs. Martha II.
Place was triumph Of grisly justice.
To even write about the carrying out
Of the death penalty upon woman is
not pleasant task, but justice is not
instituted to furnish pleasure. There
are some dire tasks which fall to the
community no less than to the individ-
ual that we must contemplate with our
teeth set and our resolution unbent
The law claimed and took its victim IN
spite Of the most energetic and tireless
efforts to save her. Every argument
that the emotion of pity or horror could
furnish was brought to bear, and a large
part of the community, which is too
busy with its pleasures to waste much
sympathy upon the victims of the mur-
Geress, found time to appeal in behalf
of the murderess The result is a ylndl-
cation of the law and fresh respect for
Justice, which reassumes new phase
of inevitableness and majesty. The law
is no respecter of persons, was what the
governor of New York said when ap-
pealed to. The we'll being Of the COM
munity must be safeguarded. even if
sentiment is outraged, was what hs
meant to say On the whole. it is q
healthy return to the rigid defensive
measures which society has established
for its own protection. That the ad-
vancing temper of civilization is against
capital punishment and that capital
punishment will ultimately be modified
are not at all to the point Whatever
the penalty for murder may be, let it
be inflicted justly and impartially upon
offenders after due conviction, without
regard to other considerations than
those of justice to the innocent.
