ming on them and therefore are not so
expensive"
"Well, should say not. Great Jo-
seph, $35 for hat!" And Mr.. Boo
bingle blew long whistle to signify
his surprise.
Nov, dear, you know paid $40 for
my last bonnet, which you like so
we'll" replied his better half, thus turn
ing his own weapons against him,
"and besides I must tell you what Mr..
Neighborly, who lives just across the
street, said about you, dear Blodgett.
Mr.. Neighborly said he thought you
were the best man to your family he
ever saw"
Mr.. Boobingle appeared nonplused
for moment, but soon asked timidly:
Don't you think, darling, you could
get along with $40 this time and next
fall you can find just the prettiest
hat you can find?"
But his wife was resolute. Only too
often had she looked forward to that
fal1acious s'next year," only to find that
when it had at last arrived it was still
next year, and did not produce one of
those round pasteboard boxes, which
usually contain some Creation dear
to the feminine heart.
What an ideal" she exclaimed. "a
fine hat, indeed, would have if had
to buy it with that sum. Why, you
would be ashamed to be seen with me
attired in such a rig. No, sir, 1 must
have SIS or nothing. But understand,
Mr. Boobingle, that if I cannot have a
new bonnet I shall insist upon your
resigning from the 'Hearty-Eaters' club
and saving your dIes, which, as I un-
derstand, amount to $50 per year"

as follows:
Venezuela, with great respect, but
with great confidence, now submits 10

happy belief that in the short but bril-
liant history of arbitration tribunals,

Venezuela has no direct representative

other international tribunal has pre-

HARDING is RECEIVER.
Judge Hopkins Places
Baker Ricketson Co.
in His Hands.

William B. Harding has been ap-
pointed receiver of the Baker icket-
son company by Judge Hopkins on the
petition of the City National Bank for
a receivership. Col William A. Gile,
as counsel for Herbert Brown, Flor
ence Mccarthy and about so employees
Of the company, filed a petition repre-
senting that they were preferred cred
itors by reason of labor and work per-
formed within the past two months
and for which they have received no
pay. Col. Gle maintained that they
were entitled to payment in full out of
the assets of the company before the
attaching creditors or others.
The petitioners asked for a decree
that the receiver make an immediate
payment of their claims, which amount
to about $500 in the aggregate. The
matter of the payment OF the claims of
the employees was referred to the re-
ceiver, and Judge Hopkins will later
pass upon the motion. Receiver Hard
ing furnishes bonds in the sum of $685.
600.
William C. Melhsh, counsel for the
Baker Ricketson company, assented to
the receivership, and the attachment of
the Charles Baker Company, which
was the beginning Of the litigation be-
tween the two concerns, is thereby dis
solved. A formal decree has been
drawn up and will be approved.

DIRECT TO NEW YORK.
Route of Dewey's Return Al
ready Being Determined.

Washington May Sit was stated at
the navy department today that Admit
raj Dewey will come from Manila di-
rect to New York when he returns to
the United States. However, it was ad-
ded the admiral viii not start until the
commission of which he is a member,
has completed its work it has under
taken, at least so far as it relates to
the restoration of peace to the islands.
The reason for bringing the flagship
OLYMPIA to New York instead Of hay
ing her come to San Francisco, where
she was built. is said to be primarily
because Admiral Dewey desires to
make the passage on his own flagship,
but also for the reason that the Mare
Island navy yard threatens to be over
whelmed with repair work as soon as
the numerous vessels Of Dewey's fleet
begin to return to the United States.
The Olympia is in need OF a thorough
overhauling, having been away from
her home station longer than any other

SHOT BY AMERICANS.
Story of the Death Of Prince
Ludwig Won Lowenstein.

San Francisco, May sc. S. Bradford
of this city has just returned from the
Philippines and gives an interesting ac-
count of the death Of Prince Ludwig
Won Lowenstein. who was killed during
the battle of Caloocan, Sunday. March
26.
A party of civilians, among whom
were Mr. Bradford and the prince, were
observing the progress of the battle
from a. stone bridge over the Malabon
river, when an orderly appeared, warn
ing the sightseers of the danger of their
position. The orderly then addressed
himself to the prince personally, say
ing: Il am speaking to you particu-
larry. You have ala ady given US
trouble by hanging around the firing
line. and we will have no more of it,
The prince and a companion disap-
peared into a clump of timber. This
timber later became the scene of some
active work. and the Oregon soldiers
were ordered to fire volleys into it, and
to perforate several houses. In one
Of these Prince Lowenstein had secret
ed himself. A bullet fired by an Ore
gonian entered the right side Of the
prince, severinG the intestines and in
stantly killing him.
Mr.. Bradford. with two others, took
charge Of him. A search of the body
revealed, among other things, a pass
port signed by Aguinaldo, granting the
prince permission to enter the lines OF
the rebels at will. and instructing in
surgent officers to give him any aid and
comfort he might desire. The prince
was at one time interpreter for Gen.
Miller. but was found untrustWorthy.

THEY ENTER APROTEST.
Anti Imperialist League
Send Long Letter to Ed
ward Atkinson.

Boston, May S.-The executive COM
mittee of the Anti-imperialist league
today, adopted the following letter to be
sent to Edward Atkinson:
1.-THE executive committee of the An
ti-imperialist league thought it proper
to privately communicate at once to the
same persons to whom, as you ao-
yised us April %, you had written to ex-
press your intention of mailing your
Pamphlets to soldiers in the field-that
the league did not desire to circulate
it's literature in this manner. An IN
advertence in expression, doubtless &C
cidental might otherwise have con-
veyed to the recipients of your letters
the impression that you had referred
to the leagues publications and their
distribution.
ssWhatever difference of opinion may
exist as TO the propriety of the circu-
latfon which you suggested (but when
we understand has not been attempt
ed) there should be only one opinion as
to the far more serious issue which mas
been raised by your experiment OF
sending COPIES of your pamphlets only
to Admiral George Dewey, President
Sohurman. Professor Worcester, Gen.
Fl. G.. Otis. Gen. Lawton, Gen. Miller
and J. H Bass, the correspondent OF
Harper's Weekly, and which was re-
ported to have been taken from the
malls by order of the postmaster gen
eral.
Against this act of arbitrary and IL
legal power which would hardly be at
tempted by any government Of Europe
ercept. perhaps, that Of Russia, the
league calls on all good citizens to pro
test as a serious blow to republican in
stitutions. which are now so gravely
threatened by imperial policies at home
and abroad

MAY BRING SUIT.

First easeman o'Hagan ofthe Rochesters
Feels Hard Against Umpire Curry.
First Baseman O'Hagan of the Roch-
esters is storing up a grievance against
Umpire Curry for .penalizing him for
three games. He is considering prop
osition of bringing suit against the am
pire when the latter strikes Rochester.
Umpire Curry intended to allow
O'Hagan to play yesterday. He inflicted
the penalty Saturday, when he ordered
O'Hagan out of the game, and told hlm
the sentence would extend over all the
games in Worcester. He telegraPned
the transaction to President P. I. Pow
ers of the league. Yesterday he told
Manager Leonard he thought he was in
excess Of his province, and intended to
allow O'Hagan to play. but he received
telegram from President Powers, tell
ing him to carry out the sentence.

the men from the Third artillery, who
has been in the service for a number
of years, told me that Major Matthews
was as brave a man as he ever saw.
His actions while under fire from the
Filipinos, who do not respect even the
Red Cross worn by the surgeons, could
not be excelled for bravery.
Feb he distinguished himself and
won the commentator of his supe-
riors for his actions in doing all in his
power to get the wounded soldiers out
of the trenches and into a safe place,
where their wounds could be fixed up.
1.-THE manner in which he handled
some of the wounded and dying SOL
diers won for him the hearts OF all his
men, and his noble and heroic actions
will never be forgotten.
"He is a strange contrast to Capt.
O'Connor, an old fire-eater who has
seen service in the Mexican, civil and
Indian wars, and if you could only
have seen the captain when his serg-
cant ran up the American flag you
would have lust wanted to die fighting
with him. In the trenches he is just as
cool as can be, and it is comical to see
him. Every time he hears shot from
| the Filipinos. he exclaims: Those fools
ought to keep that powder; they will
need it,
IF Major Matthews was in the line
as a fighter instead of a surgeon, you
| could expect something still bigger
| from him. As it is, he is doing more
for the boys than he could in any other
place, and he deserves as much credit
as any one. This country is a poor
place for a white man, and / guess the
people in the United States are gradu-
ally coming to the conclusion that the
Filipinos are not such poor down
trodden people after all"
In closing, Sheehan states that he is
| in fine health and hopes that the Fill
| ipinos will have sense enough soon to
see that they are not in it. For every
American soldier who is killed, at least
| 20 insurgents are put out of the world.
