Philadelphia. April 2S.-Mrs. Morrell,
wife of Gen. Edward MorreIl and the third
and youngest daughter of the late Francis

Morrells.
General and Mrs. Morrell have taken
little part in the affairs of fashionable So
ciety this season Early in the winter
they went to Belle Meade, Va, to visit
the industrial school for colored boys
founded and maintained by Mrs. MorreIl.
During their stay and while preparing for
an extended trip to the Pacific Coast. Mrs
Morrell was attacked with the grip When
her condition permitted she was removed
to Hot Springs, Va. where. after month S
sojourn, she regained her health.
General and Mrs. Morrell then started
for Bar Harbor. Me-. to visit their new
house. They stopped at Boston. where
Mrs. Morrell contracted a cold. and another
attack OF the grip followed. After a brief
rest at Newport they returned to Philadel-
phia last Saturday, where Mrs. Morrell
seemed restored to health. Tuesday. how
ever, again she was prostrated with grip
and ether complications which involved the
heart. She grew worse, and her condi-
tion became the cause of much anxiety
among her many friends. This evening a
slight change for the better was reported
by the physicians.
Since their marriage. ten years ago, Gen
eral and Mrs. MorrelI have been very
prominent in the social life of Philadel-
phia. Newport. and Bar Harbor. Like her

Importance that he should know thorough

VEHICLES FOR THE AMER.
His Highness Orders Bicycle Phac-
tons for Himself and Harem.

London, April 23.-In a coachmaker's is
to be seen very noticeable park phaeson
of the sort once used by George ". Ac-
cording to the limner of his time His
Majesty was accustomed to drive about
Windsor Park in just such a vehicle, and.
indeed. in one of the pictures of his period
His Majesty is depicted seated therein in
the act of refreshing himself with a glass
OF sloe gin. the liquor to which the royal
palate was partial and which was always
kept in stock for him at one of the lodge
gates. At present this cordial is enjoyed
only by the most esthetic of gourmets.
There is. however, an important differ
ence between the Georgian phaeton and the
vehicle now on exhibition in this city. The
royal George looked in front for the
method of locomotion. The new vehicle is
equipped for motive power in the rear.

those phantasies which in the early days

papers of a few years ago, for this strange
vehicle is for him. 1t is soon to be on its
way to kabul, where a number of select
Afghans are undergoing a course of pre-
liminary instruction in pedaling.

while lounging on silk cushions, employ
his feet in working two footboards- 1t is
noticeable, however, that the ample hood
is provided with an unglazed window at
the rear He will. therefore. be able to
communicate so promptly with his pedal
ing riders that their work is sure to be
well done.
The Ameer has ordered another bicycle
phaeton built for the use of his harem.
The builders say that two stalwart Afghans
will be able 10 drive each phaeton twelve
miles an hour. The cost to the Ameer is
81 600 for each vehicle.

M'DoNALD CLAIMS DAMAGES.
Charges False Arrest and Sues the
Alleged Perrerutors

New York, April 23.-Henry NJ. MeDon-
aid, candidate last autumn for Governor
OF New York on the Chicago platform
Democracy ticket, and a witness bsfore
the Mazet Assembly investigating COM
mittee on Friday, has begun suit for $685. 900
Tor false arrest in the case in which he
Was arraigned in the Centre Street Police
Court on Tuesday and discharged.
He was then accused OF having given
Edward J. Mclaughlin fraudulent checks
for sl65. The suit is brought against Nc
Laughlin and Edward Walsh, sergeant OF
the Church Street station: Stephen O'Son-
nell. headquarters detective. and Police
man John Moran, of the Church Street
station.
There are virtually two suits. The plain
tin in his papers alleges in the first in
stance that Mclaughlin caused his arrest
with intent to maliciously injure him, on
Monday last. He alleges he was kept in
prison. grossly Inundated. suffered physi-
cal injury. and that a stigma on his name
will necessarily forever be Il great injury
to him. He demands $4,000 damages in
this suit.
In the second suit Mcdonald alleges that
he was assaulted by the defendants, for
which he demands Sl0,G00 damages.
Sergeant Walsh said last night that Nc
Street ferry house Monday. and having the
three checks in his pocket, he had Moan
arrest Mcdonald. Mclaughlin asserted
that the checks had been given him in De-
tober last or during the campaign. Me-
Laughlin, according to Walsh. said he had
procured a warrant for Mcdonald. and that
II had been turned over to Police Head
quarters. Mcdonald said there had never
been warrant for him., and Walsh said
he then called up headquarters and was
informed that there was a warrant for
Mcdonald. Walsh said he then held the
prisoner.
Walsh also says that after Mcdonald was
discharged he went to tae stationhouse
and said he intended to make somebody
sweat for his arrest. Mcdonald then, ac-
cording to the sergeant. said that there
were many of the same kind of checks.
some of which had not been paid, but 4 l
of which were good.
Sergeant Walsh said he knew nothing
about the suit.
Mcdonald alleges that he was discharge
by Magistrate Simms because no one ap-
peared against him.

YOUNG vANDERB1LT's ABILITY.
To BE Promoted to n Responsible
Post on the Central.

New York. April 23.-The unmistakable
force of character displayed by Cornelius
Vanderbilt, jr.. in marrying to suit him
self instead OF the head of the ianily is
apt to have speedy opportunity to dig
play itself in practical and responsible
field In a day or two, II those who have
right to know, are correct, the young
| millionaire viii be serving the New York
Central Railroad, as assistant superinten-
| dent OF motive power The office is one
OF the most important in the entire sys-
TEN and one for which the young scion
of the Vanderbilt family has been under
going a thorough training.
Changes have occurred and will occur
during the coming week that will natural
| ly hoist Cornelius Vanderbilt. jr.. into the
| important post he seems destined to fill.
| The sudden and unexpected resignation of
| William Buchanan, the veteran superin-
| tendent of motive power and rolling stock
| necessitates a successor Immediately For
| ffty-two years Superintendent Buchanan
| served the Central. Such is his reputa-
tion that he is one of the few Americans
| honored by an election to the Engineering
| Association of Great Britain. He worked
| on the original locomotive, the De Witt
| Clinton, and designed and built the cele-
brated mo. 999'' which hauls the En-
| pire State Express through the State
utU young Cornelius Tell under par
| entail displeasure owing TO his nuptial ar
| rangements. and pulled on overalls to
| learn the railroad business from top to
| bottom, he was placed under the tutelage
of Mr.. Buchanan. This arrangement was
| eminently satisfactory to both and of
extreme advantage TO the young man.
The veteran railroad man soon discerned
| that the youth, who made his advent upon
this earth with gold spoon in his mouth
was no dolt. In fact, Cornelius, jr.,
| evineed a remarkable grasp of the mechan-
ical branch of the railroad business. This
natural aptitude for mechanics has been
| developed under the master hand of the
former superintendent of motive power
With oily jeans and stained hands the
| youthful Vanderbilt has delved into in
ternal workings of the system of railroad
| ing. about which his father and uncles
| know nothing except in theory.
AT present Cornelius Vanderbilt jr. is
| acting under orders from President Gala
way to find some method of eliminating
| the smoke and SCOT nuisance which rem
| ders the Park Avenue tunnel so obnoxious
| to the passengers on the New York Gen.
tral. The young man is bending all his
energies upon this project. and, according

General Miles has had sympathy or issis-

business Studies in Public schools

tfrom the Chicago thronicle)
When the women stenesraphers Of Chicago are
forced to make organized protest against the
teaching of shorthand in the public schools, a
new object lesson Is furnished as to the practical
effect of fad-chasing propensities. The direct
cause for protest is the palpable injustice of
turning out hundreds of inefficient and meagrely-
educated girls every year who oyercrowd the
labor field under the impression that they should
be able TO wages by skill that they do not
possess But there are even graver reasons for
condemning practice of adding special business
studies to the ordinary curriculum OF a public
school. The pupils who permitted to elect
such studies in large proportion of cases
from families that are well able to pay for spe-
cial and efficient training in schools or academies
devoted to the purpose. Every dollar spent in
the extras of the public school curriculum is a
dollar that should be applied to the purposes
outlined in the fundamental school law.

1t is unfortunate that so brave an officer
and so patriotic an American as Captain
Coghian. of the cruiser Raleigh. should be
SO indiscreet as TO make public speech
that is calculated TO embarrass the Govern
ment in its foreign relations. We can all
understand and sympathize with his feel
ings, but there are reasons why he should
have refrained from part of his perform
ance at the Union League dinner in New
York Friday night. In reciting the history
of the events in Manila Bay. it may have
been necessary. in order to do justice to
the superb patience and diplomacy and de-
termination OF Admiral Dewey, to relate
the story of German provocation. He could
hardly avoid expressing the indignation OF
the Americans, officers and men. He
should, however, have considered the great
pains the Kaiser has taken to remove all
cause of irritation and to show his friend
ship for this country. No people are more
sensitive than the Germans, and particu=
larly delicate are the sensibilities of the
German-Americans who constitute a large
proportion of our citizenship. They have
contributed much to the prosperity of the
States and have always been prompt to
show their sincere love for the Republic
They are entitled to a great deal of con-
sideration. They retain a strong affection
for their fatherland, but while they would
lament any rupture of friendly relations
between the two nations, they would
stand by the country of their adoption.
&g,
GERS and men at Manila had cause to be
fiercely indignant over the contempt with
which they were treated by the German ai-
miral; that they had every reason to pro-
test against the many violations OF the
blockade regulations by that commander
but all that is past and paid for. The
Kaiser himself took hold of the affair, re-
ample warning TO all the representatives
of Germany that there must be no un-
friendly acts touching this country. In the
Reichstag the statesmen favorable to the
Government devoted an entire day to
praises OF America and expressions of
their amicable sentiments. Except the
agrarian element. over which the Govern
as far as possible to prove that she has no
sympathy with anything that offends
Americans. In these circumstances the
tone of Captain Coghlan's speech and his
song rejecting on the Kaiser were as un-
fair as they were unwise.
1t is not merely that such an attack by
popular naval officer must hurt the feel
ings of the Germans who had nothing to
do with the incidents that have been re-
pudiated by the Kaiser, but it will also
lead many Americans to entertain bitter
sentiment against Germany that is not
warranted at this time. 1t will be strange
if Captain Coghlan is not severely CEN
sured, if not court -martialed for his un-
happy utteranees. 1t is only charitable to
suspect that New York hospitality is prin-
cipally at fault in the premises.
