OUT OF THE CABINET.
Secretary of War AIger Tenders His Res
ignation to the President, to Become
Effective August L.

Washington, July 20.-Secretary Al
ger yesterday rendered to the president
his resignation of the war portfolio
and it will be accepted. The resigna-
ton will become effective August 1,
though it was rendered sat the pleas
ure of the president" Gossip has be-
gun already as to his successor, but is
entirely speculative, for, notwith-
standing the reports that Mr.. Alger
would not. continue long at the
head of the war department, his
actual resignation came suddenly
and unexpectedly. That it would
come by the end of the year was
generally believed, but so little was it
expected at this time that some of the
cabinet officers, when the news first
became public; were inclined to regard
the announcement as premature, the
announcement that it was actually in
hand coming to them in the nature of
a surprise.
During the past few months criticism
of Gen. Alger has been frequent from
even the administration organs and
the New York Sun, which is regarded
as one of the stanchest supporters of
the presidents record and policy, has
demanded Secretary Alger's resignation
from the cabinet.

THEY WANT NO CHANGE.
Cuban Business Unit in Opposition to
Changing from Military to Civil
Administration.

Havana, July GA cable message
received here stating that Senior Carlos
Garcia was in Washington for the pur-
pose of comforting with President Nc
Kinley and others interested in Cuban
affairs and alleging that he had as
serted that Cuba's greatest need is the
substitution of civil for military gov
eminent, has been the subject of con-
siderable comment. On Change, where
a majority of the large business houses
of Havana are represented, the feeling
is general that, at present, a change is
not advisable, as the putting of new
men in Office would disturb business
and the withdrawal of the military
would mean an increase in brigandage
throughout the country, where the
conditions are not the same as in the
United States.

Ger, of Philadelphia, and behind him
reared the tall shaft of the soldiers and
sailors monument. The scene was
inspiring and with the singing
served to attract hundreds of
people going to work who ex-
tended the line of congregation a
block distant to Washington street.
The reception committee worked all
night last night endeavoring to regis
ter the names, of arriving delegates.
Six thousand are known and with

REPORTING THE WEBBING.
AS 1t Was Turned In by the Young
Reporter Fit for the Waste
Basket.

A reporter on a newspaper was given the
task OF writing up very swell wedding.
He composed a fine account of the wed
ding ceremonies, but, ike many young
writers, he tried to use too fowery Ian
guage, and, becoming excited, he forgot to
be accurate. in the use of words. The de
scnption of the beauties of nature read
something like this:
''The silvery moon lowered over the
scene, and the stars twinlzled merrily; the
soft signing of the wind in the trees near by
came like benediction of love to the happy
couple entering upon the voyage of life to-
gether."
The reporter sent in his copy, but just
as the paper was about to be sent to press
he rushed into, the editors room, all excite
ment, saying he wished, to make correc-
cording to the almanac, there was no sill
very or any other moon on that night.
And the reporter also said that he had
blundered in writing of the "contesting"
parties instead of Contracting parties.
After few more corrections the account
of the wedding was found available for the
editors waste-basket.-Tit-B Bits.

Sketch of IngersoII's Career.
Robert Green Ingersoll born in Dresden,
N. Y, August IL, 1888. His father was a Con-
gregational minister of such broad views as
frequently to cause diSSenSionS between himself
and his parish. In 1843 the family moved to
Wisconsin and then to Illinois where the sons
boyhood was spent. With his brother Eben he
began the practice of law in Shawneetown,
Ill. Eben subsequently sent to con-
greSS. Both engaged in politics and continued
their activity in this direction until 1857 when
they removed to Peoria to give wider scope to
their ambitions. In 1860 Robert was demo-
cratic nominee for congress from the Peoria
district, but was defeated. The partnership
between the brothers continued for p years
with some 1ntermiSS1on. At the outbreak of
the civil war Robert was a strong abolitionist
and enlisted in the union army, afterwards be-
coming colonel of the Eleventh regiment of
Illinois cavalry and IL years later he united
his fortunes with the republican party.
AT the close of the war he was appointed at
torney general for Illinois. In the national re-
publican convention of 1876 he proposed the
name of James G.. Blaine for that party'S candi-
date for president of the United States. 1t was
in this speech that Col. Ingerson made use of
the famous expression, ''plumed knight" in ref
erence to the chivalric nature of Blaine's ex-
POSIIlOLl VI republican principles on inc HOOr OF
congress. This expression became the rallying
cry of the republican campaign and stuck to
Blaine all his life. 1t was this presidential
nominating speech that directed national atten-
ton to the new orator. From that time he was
in great demand political speaker and he
did energetic service for the republican party
campaign.
Col. Ingersol has taken part in numerous
celebrated lawsuits in all parts of the country,
and was counsel for the So-called star route
conspirators, whose trial ended in acquittal
In 1883. During late years he located in
New York city, where he had elaborate offices
in Wall street.
Ingersoll's views on religion were, probably.
the greatest source of his notoriety, and every
where his books, lectures and p lmphletS di-
rected against the Chris tian religion, were COM
mented upon or his books, the most famous
THE Gods, - Ghosts and Prose Poems
and Selections while Some Mistakes OF
Moses and ''SuperStitions'' are his best known
lectures. The latter he delivered in Kansas
City last January. 1t in the constant ex-
ploitation of his agnostic views that Col Inger-
soil held public attention. Opposed as he was
to all religious teachings, his chief object in
life was to disprove the authenticity of the
Bible and the divinity of Christ He also held
advanced ideas on the subject of suicide, claim
ing that such u course was not only juStifable,
but positively commendable in certain cases.
