the remains of the Earl of STAFFORD,

press train on Tuesday evening at Pot

stefan Extraordinary to the Queen, and
another physician, gave evidence to the

to cataleptic fits lately. and that Ie
was then liable to lose his mental con-
troll.
Other witnesses deposed to seeing the
deceased in this condition.
The jury therefore declared itself sat

ENCE AT CINCINNATI.
Mayor Jones of Toledo Delivers an
Address Which ELECTS Con-
siderable Opposition.

| President Henderson's annual address
was referred to committee, and the re-
ports of the Secretary and Treasurer
were presented. Chairman Joseph P.
Byers, Secretary of the Ohio board, re-
ported for the Committee on County
and Municipal Charities, and a general
discussion followed.

Mayor Jones of Toledo read lengthy
paper entitled Charity or Justice
Which?' He said: 'Able-b bodied men
are ever walking the streets, alleys and
highways of our country, pleading for
work, yet there is no lack of useful and
beautiful work that ought to be done.
Inasmuch as private interests and pr-
waite greed have failed to find a plan
that will let all who are willing to work
have the right to live, the time seems
ripe for collective effort to solve the
problem; inasmuch as labor produces
all wealth, let US have more wealth.
Ruskin says that the wealth of a ma
ton may be estimated by the number
of happy people employed in making
useful things Let US set the example
of State made wealthy according to
this lofty conception; in short, let us
apply ourselves to the task of inaugu
rating and performing just social sys
tenn, conceived and carried out upon
scientific lines and poverty, crime, vice
and human misery will be things of the
past and the prayer of our Lord will
have been realized, the kingdom of
Heaven will be set up here and His will
done on earth as in Heaven"
Mayor Jones was frequently inter-
rupted by applause. Tomorrow night
he will address a public meeting. His
presence is being used as the occasion
for demonstrations by those who favor
an Independent candidate for Governor.

for justice rather than charity, ELECTED

dress was continued until tomorrow.

nothing but the uncop NAL surren-

that the willy insurgent leader believes
he will make terms for the special ben
eft of himself and his Cabinet, and it
is even possible that he has an idea
that the United States may be willing
to reimburse him literally for the sur
render of his army. 1t is suggested
that Aguinaldo is merely holding out
for his own interests in the matter, now
that the Filipino cause is lost, and will
demand safe conduct out of the islands

WHEELING (Va), May 1S.-One of

ride on the entire system during the
