COOK IS SUED.
President of an Indiana College Gets
After Servant.

IeSiocHt OA an lnu1ana college, Gets
After a Servant.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, March 12-Mrs. w. :.
L. Moore, president of Christian Female
college, this city, is endeavoring to set
tie by law a servant problem which has
confronted housekeepers since the first of
servants began to serve.
Several months ago Mrs. Moore brought
suit against George Rollins, colored, for
mer, chief cook. of the college, for leaving
suddenly and accepting a position In the
Culver Military academy, of Indiana
The plaintiff asked for $500 as damages
to the culinary reputation of Christian
college. due to the fact that for time
1t was left without a cook. Besides this,
Mrs. Moore claimed that Rollins, in leav-
ing so suddenly, broke his contract.
The case came up in the Boone county
circuit court. which has just adjourned
but was not settled, owing to a peculiar
error on the part of the attorneys for
the plaintiff, and is now in a bewider-
ing legal tangle
The attorneys were under the impress
sion that Mrs. Moore wished to compro-
mise. offering to drop the case if Rollins
would pay expenses and resume service
at Christian college. The lawyers acted
accordingly until Mrs. Moore was told
of their mistake. and at her request the
case was carried over to the next term.
Mrs. Moore said that she would not yield
an inch under any consideration.

sion of Congress.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Secretary
Long has received a letter from Rear Adj
miray Sampson in which the admiral,
after referring to the statement that the
list OF officers recommended for promo
ton for gallantry off Santiago had fail
ed of confirmation because it included
his name, asked the secretary. to immed-
lately reappoint these officers, emitting
his own name. In part Admiral Sampson
says:
1t Is not necessary to dwell upon the
Incidents of the war, which are now well
tain officers, distinguished for faithful
service, were named by me for promo
ton or such other reward as you might
deem desirable Those names you have
Deen pleased to nominate to the United
states senate for promotion, and you
have done me the honor to add my name
to that list of officers
1t now appears that the senate though
we'll disposed to most of the names ON
that list. has objected to my promotion
and has simply failed to confirm the de-
has been no doubt or discussion
Hitherto, undisturbed by any eager
desire for advancement, / have not spe-
cially concerned myself with matters out

done my duty in the conduct of the West
Indian naval campaign to the utmost ex-
tent of my ability, as thoroughly as l
was able. and If no reward should come
l could be satisfied with the conscious
ness of having done my best. / did not,
however. anticipate that dissatisfaction
with any act or acts of mine would cause
the senate to withhold from other officers
promotion which they have well de-
served and which has been promptly
granted in similar circumstance to 9TH
ers. L therefore respectfully suggest that
your appointment of these officers about
whom there is no discussion should at
once be renewed In order that they may
thus secure their promotions and with.

Secretary Long will not accept the sug-
gest1on made by Rear Admiral Sampson
and make recess appointments of the Of
f1cers who failed of confirmation at the
last session of congress. The matter will
be allowed to remain just as it stands
until the next congress meets and then
all of the nominations will be sent in
precisely as they stood at the end of last
session.
In answer as to the inquiry as to what
lie proposed to do in reference to the re-
quest of Rear Admiral Higgtnson to have
miraI kempf, because Ia WAS unwilling
to accept reward at tie expense of
his brother officer, Secretary Long today
said that the officers action was no empty

as secretary of the navy, he Gong) would
call the attention of congress to the mat
ter with view to having such legisla-
ton passed that. If the other officers are
not advanced. Higginson would be re-
stored to his place.
