NOT ENTITLED UNDER LAW.
Decision of Mr. Lewis Respecting a
Church Orphanage.

Decision of Mr.. Lewis Respecting a
Church Orphanage.
The District superintendent of charities,
Mr.. Herbert w. Lewis, has informed the
Commissioners that it appears the Church
Orphanage of St. Johns Parish is a sec
tartan institution, and that the Commits
sioners are prohibited by law from allot-
ting it any amount from the appropriation
of $4,000 for the relief of the poor of the
District.
The institution had asked through Mr.
Frank W. Hackett what immediate dispo-
siuon would be made of children in the
event of their commitment to the care of
the board of children's guardians. Mr..
Lewis informed Mr.. Hackett that the
board has always returned them to the
Institution in which they had been kept
to remain until provided with family
homes either with parents or others, and
that it might be supposed the board would
pursue the same course in this case. But
remembering a ruling of the Treasury De-
partment Mr.. Lewis says that however
desirous the board might be of returning
any children committed from the parish
institution, the paying for their care is
prohibited by law because. as it would ap-
pear, the orphanage Is sectarian inStitu-
ton. The board, however, will tender the
orphanage the services of Mr.. John w.
Douglass and Mrs. Sarah 8. Fuller, en-
ployes of the board, free Of charge for the
examination of the cases of children now
at the orphanage.
The Commissioners have informed Mr..
Hackett and the Rev. DR.. Mackay-Smith
of the parish institution. OF Mr.. Lewis

Tanner and the Normal Fight.

The Chicago Record has the follow
ing extended reference to the political
influences below the surface in the
contest for the location of the Western
Normal school, and while there are
certain trifiing inaccuracies as to facts
in general-that as to the number of
trustees for the Tenth district in par
ticular-these statements from a pO-
litical point of view are not bad
guesses:
Republicans who have been feel
ing the pulse of the party workers in
the Tenth congressional district on
the governorship question, tell how
the anti-Tanner sentiment is being
held below the surface by smooth
com bination of the governors influ-
ence and the lively fight for the loca-
ton of the Western Illinois State Nor
NAL school. The site question is held
responsible for the apparently bona
fide wave of Tanner sentiment among
the county leaders in Congressman
Princes district. but at heart a revolt
against a denomination of the govern
or is said to be as general in this dis
trict as it is in Congressman Reeves
territory. When the school site is
settled the district is counted on to
declare against Tanner, and if Con-
gresham Prince does not seek the
nomination for governor his colleague
of the Eleventh district is expected to
get 4 big share of the delegates. The
trustees appointed by Gov. Tanner to
select the school site from the Tenth
district are playing their politica!
cards to land the school in Aledo,
Mercer county. Rushville, Monmouth
and Macomb. which are in Congress-
man Marsh's district-the Fifteenth
are also fighting hard for the school.
Rushville and Monmouth each has n
trustee, who has a voice in the selec-
ton. States Attorney Charles j.
Searle. of Rock Island also in the Tenth
district, is a trustee of the school
have been held has voted for Aledo as
a bid for Mercer county's support in
his candidacy for congress to succeed
Mr.. Prince.
Republicans of influence outside of
the Tenth district, who are not partic-
ularly interested in placing the nor
NAL school at Aledo and who are for
any man except Tanner. have gone to
those who are favoring Aledo with
pointed questions. The reply has
been: We must talk this way or
Tanner will be against us, and that
will settle Mercer county's chances of
getting the school. Wait until the
site is chosen and we will show you
we are not for Tanner 1t looks as
if the governor would have to step in
with his little pull and break the
deadlock on the site question. The
trustees have had several meetings
since the legislature adjourned and

of the navy in the Dewey reception.
Technically, Howison outranks Samp-
son, but as long as Admiral Dewey's
ship is within signaling distance, both
of the rear admirals will take their in
structions from him. According to
naval etiquette, Sampson will inform
Dewey of the plans for the reception
which he has framed and which the
navy department has approved He
will then ask for the admiral's per-
mission to carry out this program.
OF course Dewey's consent will be
forthcoming, and Sampson will pro-
coed to conduct the naval parade up
the bay as originally laid out"
And because Howison's flagship,
Chicago, would unavoidably precede
Sampson and the New York in the
naval parade despite all that could be
done to the contrary, the navy depart
ment is now exerting itself to keep
the Chicago out of the naval display
altogether. In the land procession,
if Howison takes part, it is probable
that the New York committee having
it in charge will refuse to put itself on
record as side-tracking Hewison for
Sampson. although it has SO far per-
mitted, under the advice of the navy
representatives the proposed snub of

course, to any notion that may strike
the executive, provides that the Presi-
dent shall leave Washington the even
ing of Wednesday, Oct. 1, and to
visit the southern cities in Illinois
before going to Chicago. The plan is
to utilize Friday for stops at Quincy,
Canton and Peoria, and possibly other
places. Saturday morning is fixed
for Galesburg. The run to Chicago
will be made the afternoon of Satur-
day, in order to get the president to
that city in time for the banquet of
the Marquette club that night. Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday will be
given to Chicago. The program now
is to visit Evansville, Ind, Wednes-
day, Oct. II. The president is due
in St. Paul and Minneapolis Oct. u.
He will probably go thence to Duluth,
Mimi; Fargo, n. D.; Aberdeen and
Sioux Falls, S. d.. and Sioux City,

short stops at Iowa points on the way
back to Milwaukee, which will proba-
bly, be reached Oct. ID or 10.

The arrival at the port of New York
of Rear Admiral Howison. of the
South Atlantic station on board his
flagship. Chicago, from his extended
tour of the coasts of South America
and Africa, supplants Rear Admiral
Sampson, rs ranking officer next to
Dewey, by reason of iowison being
the senior admiral of the two. Never
theless, influences are being eXerted
from Washington to have Sampson
retained as the central figure of the
Dewey celebration second only to the
real hero of the occasion. And the
admins tration mouthpiece, the Chi
cago Times-Herald, of this morning,
tells unhlushingly of how it is to be
done. 1t relates how Sampson is to
be permitted to force himself into 4
position of greatness on Dewey, by
avoiding the same rules of naval ETH
quette that are being applied under
the requirements of the administra-
tion swing of the navy department to
keep Schley, the incoming commander
of the South Atlantic squadron, and
one of the actual heroes of the Span
ish war. out of the main section of the
