ybe 0pcninr of the Jubilee.

Tomorrow will usher in the Peace Ju-

dents of Washington in celebration OF the
victories of the United States on land and
sea in the war with Spain. With pro-
pitious weather. and with the crowds that
the festivities will attract from out OF
town. the week ought to be a gala one.
No little ingenuity has been displayed in
the arrangement of the celebration pro-
gramme. for there are features that will
especially appeal to all classes OF people
On the first day-tomorrow-there will be
salutes from gunboats. ringing of chimes.
a parade of military and naval organiza-
tons, outdoor band concerts and various
iiluminations; cn Wednesday there will be
parades CT the Sunday schoo! children
and of flower decorated private carriages,
supplemented by floats representative OF
the patriotic. fraternal, and business side
of life, concluding in the evening with
more illunnations and a display of fire
works: while on the third and last day
there will be a parade commemorative of
the military and naval history of the coun-
try. addresses from the east front of the

All this is TO be interspersed with a
series Of .'reyelries' which is described on
the programme as "a spectacular affair OF

to mar the harmony of the occasion or de-
tract from the patriotic spirit in which it
is planned. Celebrations in other cities,
like Omaha and Philadelphia, have been
measurably successful, and that at the
Capital should be more SO, because OF the
outside interest in any event occurring
here. and the natural desire of the city
to make the event a memorable one in
stead of permitting it to lapse into fail
ure. If weather conditions are favorable,
and the programme be carried out with
the enthusiasm that is promised the gala

The situation mt BIuefic.d..

AT this writing the report OF fight at
Biuefields, in which the cruiser Detroit
is said to have sunk Nicaraguan vessel
after the latter had fred upon her has not
been confirmed.
Nevertheless. conditions down that way
have for some time pointed TO trouble. ow-
ing TO The differences between the Ameri-
can merchants and the NicaragIan govern
ment over the payment of duties on goods
which had already been taxed American
merchants paid duties on consignments of
department CT Zalaga. and when it was
over, through a mutual arrangement with
the head of the rebellion and the govern
ment, the latter insisted that they should
be paid over again. Naturally the Ameri-
cans were indignant. and they have lately
been subjected to considerable persecution.
The feeling engendered by this and similar
incidents has been very bitter
Assuming the Bluefields report TO be
true, it is absurd 20 suppose that the
United States would go to war with such a
state as Nicaragua. On the assumption
that the Nicaraguan gunboat fired first,
the State Department will probably de-
mand a proper apology and indemnity. and
it is one hundred to one that both will be
granted.
We should make no mistake in estimat-
ing the character of our South American
friends. They are for the most part lazy
and treacherous set. venting their passions
in alleged revolutions which are as fire.
quent as the earthquakes in their vicinity.
They profess to be great friends OF the
United States, and yet their trade rcla-
tions are much on the other side Of the
Atlantic. lir. Blaine's ideas Of "reci-
procity" between them and the United
States have not yet been realized TO any
considerable extent.

ONCE RICH, NOW A PAUPER.
Fate Of Woman Who Answered
Marriage Advertisements.

Bridgeport. Conn. May 22.-Mrs. Caro-
line Cox 4 widow. who once had fortune
of nearly 100000. but now is penniless.
was sent to the poorhouse today. Saturday
her real estate was taken from her on an
execution issued to satisfy judgment OF
nearly $4,000 given by the superior court.
Sheriff Doolan who was to serve the pa
pers ejecting her from the old family
homestead. spent Saturday night hunting
for the aged woman. but she failed to re-
turn home The sheriff then fcrcibly en-
tered the house. loaded her antique house
hold furniture upon wagons. and conveyed
it to her future home. the town farm.
Mrs. Cox's whereabouts were unknown
until word came from Waterbury that she
had visited the City Hall there. She had
entered the selectmen's Office and told
pathetic story CT how she had been cheated
out of her property by several men. who
were tormenting and prosecuting her. Miss
Eva Miller. the clerk in the Office, saw that
the woman was demented. She summoned
aid. and Mrs. Cox was soon in the custody
of the police. She was brought to Bridge
port today by policeman, and was taken
to the town farm.
The property taken from her by the
trustees of the n. S. wordin estate in
cluded three valuable pieces of real estate,
centrally located. Mrs. Cox is seventy-five
years old. and comes Of an old family. Her
father was Matthew Curtis a prominent
man fifty years ago, and her first husband.
John Thompson. amasSed fortune in
Bridgeport's earlier days in the paint bust
ness. When he died he left his widow
large estate.
Mrs. Cox, soon after her husbands
death. was attracted by personal in a
newspaper. W. II. Cox. who was then in
New York. advertised for wife. She an
swered the advertisement. Cox met her
and the widow became smitten. They were
hastily married. Then Cox proposed that
they spend their honeymoon travelling
about the country. He persuaded her. she
declares. to mortgage her home to n. S.
Wordin for $4,000. Later, while on their
trip. he convinced her. she says, that he
ought to advance him SO, COO. This she
did. giving blanket mortgage on her
property.
Cox. after getting the greater part of his
wife's wealth. went to California and
brought suit for divorce. Mrs. Cox still
loved him and went to San Francisco TO
oppose the divorce. The decree. however
was granted. and Mrs. Cox returned to
Bridgeport heartbroken. Since then she
has lived alone in the Old homestead.
Her taxes have been unpaid and gradually
all that remained of her property has
dwindled away. She will probably end
her days in the poorhouse.

SCHOOLS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Issues Arising Out of Opposition to
Senator Quay.

Harrisburg May eft has been decided
by the State administration to make The
governors cut of the school ap-
preparation the chief issue in the
campaign this year. Just now
much is being said about the embarrass-
ment Of the various school facilities
this year, when. as a matter of fact, there
will be no reduction of the State appro-
priation for the year beginning June l.
There is distinctly misunderstanding
about this matter, and the anti-Quay poll
ticians are losing no opportunity to
spread throughout the State the impress
sion that the shortage begins this year.
The legislature of 1897 appropriated S.,
100000 for the support OF the schools fer
the year ending the first Monday of June.
1s?S, and an equal sum for the year end
ing the first Monday OF June, 1899. The
appropriation for the year 1897 has been
will be paid after June OF this year at such
times as State Treasurer Beasom may be
able TO meet the obligation.
Deputy Superintendent Stewart insists
that the school board that reduces the hal
ances of teachers and in any way modiiies
the school facilities during the next year
will have absolutely no excuse. He saws,
on the contrary. that they should provide
all the facilities possible and make such
liberal provision in the way of compensa-
tion as to secure the best teaching talent.
The change OF the minimum school term
from six 10 seven months will go into effect
this year. and will require those townships
which have been imposing nominal school
tax to levy sufficient sum to make up the
difference in expense. In many cases dis
tricts have been receiving more from the
State than they have raised by local tax
atiCn but with the extension OF the school
term these districts will have to raise
larger local fund for the suppor. of the
school.

PLEAS FOR sEAMEN's RIGHTS.
Petition From the Herrera Line for
Trading priYilcgea.

New York, May 22.-The owners of the
Herrera Line of steamships, at present
engaged in the coastwise Cuban trade, will
petition the War Department at Washing
ton this week for permission to employ
their vessels freely either in the Cuban
coastwise trade or in trade upon the high
seas between Cuba and foreign ports. The
petitioners also ask that the same fees and
port charges be charged them in the coast
wise trade as are charged to vessels OF the
United States. Prior TO the war steamers
of this line were engaged in Cuban cost
wise trade and also made trips to Porto
Rico. Haiti, Mexico, and Atlantic ports
of the United States. Under the restric-
tions imposed by the military authorities
in Cuba it is asserted that the line is con-
fined to coastwise trade in unequal compe-
dtiOn with American vessels The petit
tion will recite:
THE line was compelled by military or
der to adopt the blue and white fag OF
Cuban registry that it might engage in
cOastwise trade. Later it was warned
that this flag had no international value.
and hence prevented vessels flying it from
trading with foreign ports. Such vessels
could be pursued upon the high seas as
pirates. May .. 1899, another order was
issued forbidding clearance for foreign
ports to vessels engaged in the coastwise
trade under the blue and white flag.
Through the operations OF these orders
American and foreign vessels enjoy privi-
leges refused to vessels of Cuban registry.
Vessels OF the United States or any foreign
power may trade with any foreign ports,
including American ports, from Cuban va
ters. Cuban vessels cannot Vessels OF
the United States may engage in the coast
wise trade of Cuba in competition with Gu
ban vessels. But the latter must pay fees
and charges that the former do not At
the same time the coastwise trade of the
United States is forbidden to Cuban regis
tered craft
The petition argues that the United
States bound itself by the Treaty of Paris
TO protect Cuban property, and that
Presidential proclamation assured the Sc
curity invested there.
The evening times., 1899-05-22
The Accident to the Paris.

The stranding of the steamer Paris is
explained by the fact that the vessel was
far out of her course in heavy fog. She
became wedged in the rocks of the Cor
nish coast in sight of land, and so close
TO the wreck of the Mohegan that the
masts of the latter vessel could be seen
from the decks of the American liner.
There is a disposition to criticise Cap
tain Watkins for laying course which car
ried him so near a dangerous coast in the
uncertain conditions prevailing. For ex-
ample, the New York HERALD this
morning in owl-like fashion, remarks that
the fact that the Paris took her departure
from Cherbourg and not from Southamp-
ton under a new sailing schedule had moth
ing to do with the case. Nor was 1t a
question of compass disturbances, because
they were corrected for the same run.
IL il be necessary to make a scapegoat
Of some one, Captain Watkins may as well
he chosen as anyone else, but the truth
remains that he is one of the Oldest, most
experienced, and competent commanders
afioat. and those who have crossed the
ocean with him would never think OF at
tributing carelessness to him. tribute
to the discipline of the ship is the manner
in which the passengers were transferred
TO tugs, women and children first, of
course. There was no disorder, and not
a single life was lost.
Accidents at sea. while not as frequent as
those on the rail, are of more sensational
character, because usually invested with
a greater show of horror. The American
people have an especial interest in the
Paris. because she was the cruiser Yale in
the war with Spain. The hope will be en-
tertained that she will soon be afloat and
that the accident, comparatively speaking
minor one. will not diminish the drift
of summer travel over the American Line.
