trustees.
DR.. D. Percy Hickling was chosen chair

retary. When the chairman had stated
the object of the meeting committee on
nomination was appointed, and the follow
ing named gentlemen were nominated as
the representatives of Washington on the
board of trustees; Tom C. Noyes, Blair

Stanford University, of California, and had
taken a post graduate course in sociology
at the New York University. Mr.. Hunt
said that no action had been taken on
the offer of Washington man to donate
a farm on which the Junior Republic
might be set up. The farm, it is under
stood, is one mile from Annapolis juno

of his son, who met tragic death on the
place some time ago.

A Big Crowd Badly Hoodwinked at
the LenoN Club.

New York, June 2O.-A bare-faced fake
was perpetrated upon big crowd at the
Lenox Athletic Club tonight, when the So
called Irish fighter. Mike Morrissey. lay
down before Peter Maher in the first round
without receiving a really hard blow.
From reliable authority It was learned
that Morrissey never got into ring before
and was the recipient of boxing lessons
during the past week or so in order that
his appearance in the ring might not ap-
pear too raw. He was doomed by those
who discovered" him as a world -beater
and all that, when, as a matter of fact,
clever feather weight could have put him
out with a punch. The idea of pitting
such an inexperienced mark against a
pugilist OF Mahers ability was consider
ed little short of criminal and the crowd
that was so completely gulled expressed
themselves in unmistakable terms. How
the Lenox Athletic Club could counten-
ance a job of this kind is hard to under
stand Men paid as high as 81 for box
seats while the general admission was 81.
The Lenox management could have made
popular move by putting on another
bout. say a siX-round affair between
Armstrong and Maher, but the idea was
overlooked. Morrissey now that he has
received his share of the gate money
might tell an interesting story. 1t was
said tonight that he never saw ireland
and was not even Irish.

ANYTHING TO WIN.
The Tide Against Bryan IL Causing
Him to Cast About
for Help.

William Jennings Bryan is making
suspicious clutches at straws, which
certainly justify the belief that he finds
the tide against which he is striving to
swim too strong. When he was in In
dianapolis he said that he expected that
his anti-expansion talk would bring to
the democratic party many German
voters who left it in 1896 because of the
free silver plank in it's platform. He
expressed the belief that they are more
opposed to expansion than they are to
free silver.
Mr.. Bryan offered no argument to
sustain his belief; he presented no evil
dence upon which it could be based;
he merely makes the statement, just as
he makes multitude of other state
ments which are not substantiated by
evidence, and which cannot be sus-
tanned by argument.
1t has always been thus. Whenever
the democracy has found itself in sore
straits, and threatened with defeat, it
las sought to keep up its courage with
statement that the German vote was
going against the republicans. 1t will
be remembered that in this state last
fall the German voters were about to
accomplish the defeat of Theodore
Roosevelt, according to the stories put
in circulation by the democrats before
election.-Albany Sournal.

The Farmer Was Fixed for Him

A well-to-do Georgia farmer invited
merchant friend to dine with him.
The merchant was known for his crank
mess and had once or twice tried to
shoot people for imagined wrongs. The
farmer had considerable business deal
ings with him, and they were on the
best of terms. However, the farmer
always kept wary eye on him. Several
days after the dinner at the farmers
house the merchant said to him. Il
can't account for the queer feelings
and impulses have occasionally. For
instance, the other day when l was
dining at your table it suddenly came
into MY mind to kill you. | had pistol
in my pocket at the time, and once

Don't let that bother you," said the
farmer. II knowed all about your
failin's in that line, an wuzn't asleep

CHAPTER III.
THE BLACK SPOT.

About noon stopped at the captains
door with some cooling drinks and
medicines. He was lying very much
as we had left him, only little higher,
and he seemed both weak and excited.
Jim" he said, you're the only one
here that's worth anything; and you
know I've been always good to you.
Never month but I've given you sill
yer fourpenny for yourself And now
you see, mate, I'm pretty low, and de-
serted by all; and Jim. you'll bring ME
one noggin of rum, now won't you,
matey?"
"The doctor" began.
But he broke in cursing the doctor, in
Il feeble voice, but heartily. Doctors
is al swabs," he said; land that doctor
there, why, what do he know about
seafaring menu been in places hot
as pitch, and mates dropping round
| with Yellow Jack, and the blessed land
| a-heaving like the sea with earth
! quakes-what do the doctors know of
lands like that? and l lived on rum, |
tell you. It's been meat and drink, and
man and wife, to me; and if I'm not to
have my rum now I'm a poor old hulk
on lee shore, my blood'll be on you,
jim. and that doctor swab;" and he ran
onagain for awhile with curses. Look,
jim how my fingers fidges," he con-
tinued, in the pleading tone. Il can't
keep 'em still, not |. l haven't had q
drop this blessed day. That doctors a
fool, tell you. If don't have drain
o rum, jim, I'll have the horrors;
seen some on 'cm already. 1 seen old
| Flint in the corner there, behind you;
as plain as print, | seen him; and if l
| get the horrors, I'm man that has
lived rough, and I'll raise Cain. Your
doctor hisself said one glass wouldn't
hurt me. I'll give you q golden guinea
for a noggin, jim"
He was growing more and more eX-
cited, and this alarmed me, for my IA
Their was very low that day, and
needed quiet; besides, l was treasured
by the doctors words, now quoted to
me. and rather offended by the offer of
bride.
Il want none of your money" said
l, "but what you owe my father. I'll
get you one glass, and no more"
When brought it to him, he seized it
greedily, and drank it out.
SAY, ay," said he, that's some bet
ter, sure enough. And now, matey,
did that doctor say how long was to
lie here in this old bcrth?"
"A week at least" said 1.
"Thundcr!" he cried. "A week! l
can't do that; they'd have black spot
on me by then. The lubbers is going
about to get the wind of me this blessed
moment; lubbers as couldn't keep
what they got, and want to nail what's
another's. Is that seamanly, behavior,

ing soul. l never wasted good money
of mine, nor lost it, neither; and III
trick 'em again. I'm not afraid on 'em,
I'll shake out another reef, matey, and
daddle en- again.
AS he was thus speaking he had risen
from bed with great difficulty, holding
to my shoulder with grip that almost
made me cry, and moving his legs like
so much dead weight. His words
spirited as they were in meaning. con
trasted sadly with the weakness of the
voice il which they were uttered. lie

ALGER'S RETIREMENT.
"POtatO" Pinsrec the Cause of Con-
tentiOn Between the President
ana Secretary.

While Gov Pingree tries to make it
appear that President Mckinley forced
Secretary Alger out of the cabinet to
put stop to the unfriendly criticism
of his administration, it is apparent
that the effusion of spleen which the
potato patch reformer gave off re-
Gently was due to his certain knowl-
edge that Mr.. Ayers retirement was
directly due to the Pingree-Alger po-
litical alliance.
Pngree gives the lie to his own state
ment by saying that Secretary Alger
had frequently offered to resign if his
remaining in the cabinet was an en-
barrassment to the president and that
the president had protested emphat-
icall that he had the utmost conf
dence in the secretary and his conduct
OF the war department, and that the
country could not afford to lose his
services"
That is the truth. We are confident
that Mr.. Mckinley would never have
demanded the resignation of Secretary
Alger as u means of putting a stop to
the criticism of his administration by
the yellow press. There was never any
serious talk of Gen. Ayers retire
! ment until Pingree announced that he
and the secretary had formed politi-
cal alliance for the purpose of retir-
ing from the senate Senator Mcmillan,
who has been firm friend of the ad-
ministration's. A political partnership
between Secretary Alger and the presi-
dents bitterest opponent in Michigan
was more than the friends of the presi-
dent could tolerate, and the matter was
brought to an issue. That is why the
secretary resigned.
The president showed clearly in his
letter accepting the secretary's resig-
nation that he approved the latter's Of
fetal course, for he thanked him for
the faithful service" he had rendered
the country at most exacting period.
Naturally Pingree desires to obscure
the fact that he is responsible for the
retirement of Secretary Alger, but he
will hardly succeed in his attempt to
convince the people of Michigan that
Gen. Alger was sacrificed on the adj
ministration altar. The people will
know better.-Cleveland Leader.
