raE COGHLAN CASE.
The Captain u Rlprilnanded by sec-
rotary Long. ana the Affair
IL Practically Closed.

Washington, April 27.-The case of
Capt. Coghlan may be considered as
finally closed. The German am bassa-
dor. DR.. Won Holeben. called at the
white house Wednesday, afternoon, and
had conference on the subject with
the president of such satisfactory ma
ture that the matter was regarded as
settled. The president explained the
course the navy department had taken
in administering reprimand to Capt.
Coghlan. 1t was also pointed out that
the officers explanation of the incident
stated that his utterances had been
much exaggerated. On the part of the
ambassador there was every disposition
to deal as lightly with the matter as
possible, and not permit it to become a
source of friction. During the day the
navy department administered to Capt.
Coghlan the reprimand which had been
determined upon Tuesday. This was in
the form of letter from Secretary
Long to the officer. It is stated at the
department that the letter will not be
made public before the officer has re-
ceived it, and probably not then.

Hayward estate, for De Rohan-Cha-
bot title, 100000. Bogus. 5
Livingstone estate, for De Villars
title. Bogus.
Coudert estate, for De Choiseul title,
$250,0OO. Genuine.
No estimate is set upon the French
man who was thrown in with the title,
bogus or genuine, but that perhaps
would involve a great deal of very deli
cate and complex figuring.
Thus you see that all over this coun-
try there are foolish mothers, foolish
girls and badgered fathers. The moth
ers are the worst of all. They are old
enough to know that their daughters
cannot be happy with titles, in lieu Of
husbands. They know that ''love is a
woman's whole existence" and they
know that physical wrecks with titles
cannot participate in loves young
dream. They know that they are sac
rificing their daughters to pride, pomp
and pretense. They are committing
what may be termed the objectionable
sim, But what shall be said of the girls
and their fathers, who are particeps

The girls, of course, lack experience,

that the battle between the friendly
natives and the rebels took place at
Vallejo and that the latter lost 100 men
in killed and wounded.
Further details of the deaths of En-
sign J: r. Monaghan, of the United
States cruiser Philadelphia, and Lieut..
p. V. Lansdale, of the same vessel, have
been received. They show that Mon
Afghan was beheaded before he was
dead. A deserter from the Mataafan
forces says Monaghan and Lansdale
were retreating when they were dis
covered by chief and his wife who
were looking for dead men. They gave
the alarm and Monaghan was shot
while continuing the retreat. Later, it
appears, the rebels returned and killed
Lansdale. Monaghan fought until he
was wounded and he was then be-
headed.

A SEA OF FLAME.
Prairie Fire in South Dakota Has
Swept Over 35, 900 Acres of Land
Two Men Perish.

ST. Paul, Mimi, April GA Mitchell,
S. D., special to the Pioneer Press
says: A prairie fire started IS miles
south of her at noon Tuesday and has
burned over about $4,000 acres of farm
land, destroying great quantity of
hay and hay land. AS yet the fire has
not been stopped. Tuesday afternoon
two men, Frank Howard and Allie
Smith, went over to neighbours to help
fight the fire and tied their horses in a
clump Of trees. The fire got into tree
claim, and in their attempt to save
their hroses they were caught in the
flames and with the horses were burned
to death. Their bodies lay on the prai-
RE for IS hours and were not found I'm
til an early hour Wednesday morning.
The extent of damage done cannot be
estimated yet, as no report has been
brought in since noon Wednesday. The
fire is now ten miles southn est of this
city. ....

Strike. Ordered.

Terre -Haute, lnd.,. April 2o.-The pa
cific situation in .Indiana's bituminous
coal fields has been broken by President
Van Horn, of this city, ordering a
strike among the miners in southern In
diana field. For many years the
United Mine Workers of America have
endeavored to ''unionize" the southern
part of the state. and the issue will now
be forced: The strike will 60 into eff
feet ON May !, unless the operators sign
the Chicago-Pittsburgh agreement. AS
the operators of southern Indiana have
always antagonized the miners union
long and bitter struggle is almost an
assured fact. ~ saz@25 !.

UNVEILED AT PHlLA DELPHIA. APRIL. Fl.

| cruiser Raleigh, lying in the Delaware
river nearly four miles away, was given
| the signal at the same moment, and
| she, too, belched a salute of II guns.
| Mrs. Grant took long look at the
| bronze figure of her husband, and as
she sat down she could be seen wiping
tears from her eyes.
Review of Troops.
| Then followed the review of the 5000
troops. The parade was started at $3.50
o'clock and the line of march was north
on Broad street from Spruce, around
the city hall to Spring Garden street,
thence west to the river drive in Fair
mount park and then up the drive past
the statue.
After the review the president and
the others of the distinguished party
trip Gen. Miles rode in the carriage with
the president.
Dinner to the President.
After brief rest at the hotel Presi-
dent Mckinley was entertained at din
ner by John FL. Converse in the assem-
bly, room of the Union league. About 100
| guests were present, among whom were
members OF the presidents cabinet, Gen.
Miles, Admiral Silas Casey, Capt. Clark,
Capt. Coghlan, Brig. Gen. Fred D. Grant,
Capt. Algernon Sartoris and Mayor Ash
bridge.
A Public Meeting.
The ceremonies of the day were con-
cluded by public meeting at the Acad-
envy of Music at night. President Nc
Kinley and all of the other distin-
guished people who attended the I'M
yelling exercises were present. Speeches
eulogistic of the famous soldier-presi-
dent were made.
The Grant Monument.
The Grant monument as it now stands
Is exactly the same size as the one in
| Union square, New York. It was designed
| by Daniel Chester French and Edward
| G. Potter, both American artists. The for
| mer modelled the figure of Gen. Grant
| and the latter the horse. In expression and
features the face is indicative of a strong,
| though latent and modest personality. He
| is clad in field garb, with high cavalry
! boots, close buttoned coat, and long cape
| or coat falls in folds over the horse. The
| latter stands firmly on his four feet, with
head turned slightly to one side. The
! whole aspect of the statue is one Of re-
! strained strength. -
| The idea was conceived.by the Paramount
Park Art association, and the work is pre-
scented by that body to the city, to be placed
| in the park. The height of the statue from
the bottom of the plintl to the top Of the
riders hat is Is feet l inch. The total
weight is five tons. The pedestal is built
| Of Jonesboro granite. and the total cost
was $s2.67535 '.'@ 'asA - c. = 49, &. ~

versary OF Gen. Grants seventy:scventh
birthday. The city was throngcd with
people from nearby and distant points.
The public and private buildings were
gaylyt decorated for the occasion. The
morning feature was the presentation

cial surroundings; the expressions of
envy of other girls; the congratula-
tions of seemingly good friends, and the
unceasing DINING in their ears of the
plaudits of the mother whom they
love. They are led as lambs to the
slaughter.
The fathers! Well, they are meekly
willing to let their wives manage social
functions; and they come to regard
the sacrifice of their daughters as part
of the social functions in which they
participate only as drawers of checks
to pay the bills. Many of them are de-
lighted with the prospect of the COM
ing of the day when they will cease to
draw checks for this daughter, and
then for the next one, until they all
are married off. Besides, as every wise
and worldly woman knows, man can
be nagged into almost anything, if a
woman is only persistent.
During the past ten years the rich
men of the big cities of this republic
have been buying suitable sites in
Washington, and building on them
palatial residences. They are moved
to do so, not for business considera.
tions, but by social environments. Papa
has been a pawnbroker, or has killed
hogs, or manufactured soap; he has
sold patent medicines, canned vege-
tables, shod horses, half-soled shoes
or half-soled trousers; he has
driven dray or driven cabs for a
living; he has done almost anything of
mental nature or served in trade.
But after papa has developed the mon.
ey-making faculty, and become rich
he wants to shine among men, while his
wife and daughters want to shine
among women. Mamma takes the in
itiative and papa comes trailing along.
They must go to Washington, where
people do not know the details of their
early and honorable struggles; and
there, with plenty of money, they can
give swell entertainments, and forge
to the front in the social world.
Once here they go angling after
titles, and they find plenty of pretend
ers who are anxious to work off their
bogus or genuine titles for vulgar
American money-bags. The holders OF
titles do not care particularly what
kind of girl they are required to
marry, in order to get the money. They
play their parts we'll, and tell each girl,
with beautiful accent, that they loaf
her." They also kiss her with charm
ing gallantry. But they don't mean it.
They must go through the alleged love
part of the performance in order to
get the money-bags.
After the titled foreigner gets hold
of the coveted money he soon shows
the girl that he does not "loaf her" at
all. After the girl gets her titled for
eigner she finds that she and her whole
family have been buying gold bricks,
getting nothing but tinsel and raffish
encourage with bogus coats-of-arms.
The Lenten season is over, and So
ciety is playing fast and loose with
hearts, hands, fortunes and human
souls. It is pitiable; it is lamentable;
and yet, despite it's pathos, it is anus

VIII Develop the Mine.

- At the big Alice A gold mine nearly
two menths were spent last winter by
W. D. Ramsay, noted mining expert
OF London, who was there in the inter-
est OF capitalists of that city. Hemade
very thorough and exhaustive tests of
the mine and sailed for London short
~ after. A cablegram has been re-
ceived from there that the men who
sent Mr.. Ramsey here have decided to
take heavy interest in the mine, and
to at once erect a very large stamp
mill of the latest and most improved
design, together with a concentrate
ing plant, which will quite probably
be of the Krupp make, experts being
now in Germany examining that style
of plant

Mrs. Eliza Spaulding was bitten bya

followed the next day.
Dickinson's museum of wild animals
is located at 1875 Washington avenue
south. There are birds, monkeys,
bears, deer, and the willy reptile is all
lowed representation. The entertain
ment consists partly in seeing Mrs
Spaulding show with what ease she
can manage her snaky pets, and how
obediently they follow her bidding.
The show was in progress and the
woman giving an exhibition on the
stage. She had half q dozen OF the
reptiles coiled about her neck and
head. Suddenly the reptile buried its
fangs into her thumb. The other EN-
ployes of the place did all possible TO
counteract the poison, but medical
help did not arrive until several hours
after. The woman was taken to the
hospital, where. she died in great
agony.
