BLAZE IN a CHURCH,
Drapery Catches Fire From a Lamp
Damage Slight.

special correspondence of The Evening Star
EVANSVILLE. Md, March 8, 1899.
A cake and candy sale was held last even
ing at the Presbyterian assembly room un-
der the auspices of the Young Ladies' Mis-
sion Band of that church. The ladies who
had charge of the decorations had just fin
ished their work, and were admring the
effects, when a bracket lamp attached to
the wall was in some inexplicable manner
moved So that it came in contact with the
bunting that festoOned the ceilings and
walls, and which was composed of yellow
pine. Instantly the infammable material
was in bright blaze. Miss Emily Schoepf
who was in charge of the sale. ran to the
door and gave the alarm. Her cries brought
to her assistance her brother Mr.. Alex.
Schoerf who had just left the building,
and another gentleman, who, with consider
able difficulty. eXtinguished the fire.
The ladies at once cleared the room of
all evidence of the fire and were soon cater
ing to a large number of patrons. The
tables were tastefully decorated with
flowers and ferns. They were in charge
of Miss Schoepf and Mrs. Chas. Curray.
A prettily decorated lemonade well, placed
in one corner, was presided over by the
Misses Tise.
The success of the evening sale was
mainly due to efforts of Miss Schoepf as
sisted by the following ladies' Mrs. s. w.
RICHTER, Misses Evans. Banes, Moran,
Matte and Mary Tise and Mrs. Curray.

Gov. Roosevelt.

From the New York Times.
II happened.to be in Albany on Friday
when Governor Roosevelt left there for
this city said one of the gossipers in the
Waldorf-Astoria. II had never happened
to meet him, but as I strolled down the
station platform while waiting for the be-
lated 2:3J train, on which we both came
TO New York, 1 recognized him from the
photographs and caricatures | had seen.
l was prepared to see a pretty free-and-
easy, democratic sort OF a chap, but what
| did see rather shocked my sensiblities
and ideas of what a governor of the en-
pire state should be. Up where the bag
gage for the incoming train was piled was
the governor of New York, half reclining
on the topmost trunk of the bunch and
absorbed in reading one of the current
numbers of a popular magazine. He ap-
parently didn't know or care whether
there anybody else in Albany and
had completely shaken off the cares of
state. He was the most completely COM
Portable person l saw in your capital city
Strolling the platform, and seemingly
carrying all the dignity of the Office that
Governor Roosevelt had shaken off were
his two private secretaries, Mr.. Youngs
and Colonel Treadwell. And they main
tained all the dignity that was necessary.

ADJUSTMENTS. A

THE BELLS."-Mr. Thomas E. Shea
laid aside his popular role of Captain Jack
Conway in The Nan-o'-War's-M Man" last
night to present to an audience at the
Academy his conception of the character of
Matthias in THE Bells" 1t is a wide dra-
matte leap from the part in heroic melo-
drama to one of the most difficult of tragic
creations, but Mr.. Shea effects the transit
tion with an ease which impresses his audi
ences with the great versatility of his dra-
matte art. If the unstinted applause he
received from his audience be taken as
evidence, he succeeded in his ambition
Henry Testa, as Mather Walter, the farm
er, and Frank Buoman. as Hans an old
poacher, were pleasing in the comedy roles
OF the play, and j. Irving Southard made n
very satisfactory Christian, captain of the
gendarmes. Charles Rollins, as the hvp-
notist, and Will ]. Carnes, as the Polish
Jew both did creditable work in rather
difficult parts. Miss Charlotte Burkett. as
Annette, the daughter of Matthias, and EN-
ma Southard, as his wife, had the principal
female parts and gave Il very satisfactory
rendition of them.
Tonight Mr.. Shea will give 1.-THE Man-o'-
War's-Man" again, and close his engage
ment tomorrow night with DIR Jekyll and

AGAINST ANNEXATION.

Senator Mason Argues for Independ-
ence of Philippines.
An address on civil liberty was delivered
last evening by Senator Mason of Illinois
at an entertainment given at the Metro
politan A. NJ E. Church, NJ street between
10th and 18th streets northwest. In the
course of his address Senator Mason spoke
against the policy of holding the Philip
pine Islands, and said the argument ad-
vanced in favor of their retention was the
same which was addressed in support of
slavery.
They say" he went on, I'VE are going
to do it for their own good and that is
just exactly what the men Of the south
used to claim about slavery, that it was
for the good of the negro, but whenever
they caught him with spelling book in
his hands they took it away.
Il believe in my country, and | know
that we will come out all right eventually.
Don't worry; the right thing is going TO be
done but unless some one is willing to
kick it won't be done for long time. When
the political conventions meet in this coun-
try in 1900 every party will hustle to come
in out of the rain of the Indignation of the
American people; and, mark my prophecy,
there will be plank in every platform de-
claring for the freedom of the Philippine
Islands"

DEATH RECORD
LueIIa HutchinsOn.

The following tribute is offered to Miss
Luella Hutchinson, recently deceased:
"On Tuesday evening, May &c. Luella,
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. C. D. Hutch
inson, after beautiful life, passed into the
home land. But twenty-three years of
service was given her here and neither the
fond devotion and love of father, mother
and brother, nor the skill of the best physi-
clans could stay the 'unerrng shaft Her
life since her tenth year had been passed in
Omaha. Seven years ago her health failed
and since that time change of scene was
sought to obtain health and her strong will
kept her until now. She was a young
woman of high aspirations, a student, a
worker in her church, Christian Endeavor
society and Sabbath school, everywhere
striving to honor her Divine Master. The
end came in the evening time like the
gentle mingling of the day into night and
her soul peacefully and quietly left its
earthly house for a new life"

with severe loss to the latter Spanish loss,
nine killed, twenty-seven wounded, among
whom was Commanding General Montero,
who died from wounds His body was
burned here yesterday.
The insurgents used rifles, artillery and
ammunition captured from gunboats, eX-
pending major portion of ammunition.
A conference followed between General
Rios, who went from Manila to withdraw
troops, and the insurgents. The latter
stated to him that they would not oppose
the landing OF Americans but would accept
the conditions in Luzon. The Spanish troops
which have been withdrawn are now here
and win depart for Spain tomorrow.
A feeble attack by insurgents on inhab-
itants in the southeast portion of Negros
necessitated sending battalion of troops
from Manila there, which will soon restore
quiet.
Insurgent falsehoods circulated in the
southern islands of overwhelming insurgcnt
victories in Luzon keep up excitement in
that section among the more ignorant
classes, although intelligent people know
American arms have never met reverse and
they call for United States protection.
I have turned over TO the navy, for use
on the coast of the southern islands, a
number of the purchased Spanish gunboats,
from which excellent results are expected.

CAPABLE OFFICER is MISSING
Natives TreachcrOusly Attack Signal
Corps and Captain Tilley In Not
Accounted For.

WASHINGTON May 2S.-General Greedy
today received a cablegram from Major
Thompson at Manila, reporting that party
landing for the repair of the cable at Es-
calante island of Negros, had been treach-
erousy attacked by the natives, that Cap
tain George H. Tilley, signal corps, is miss
ing and that the worst is feared.
Tileys services in the Philippines have
been marked by such ability, courage and
zeal that his superiors placed him in the
formost rank of subordinate officers. The
operations referred to are not those of the
signal corps, but of the Eastern Extension
Gable company that has been permitted to
repair and replace certain cables in the
Visayan islands.
Tilley doubtless accompanied the expedi-
tlon as the representative CT the United
States, the supervision of all telegraph lines
and cables being part of his duties. No
other casualties in the signal corps have
been as yet reported in this expedition. Til
ley was appointed from California.

LEAP FROM BROOKLYN BRIDGE
Tbeosophist Throws Himself over
Railing to show Power OF Will
in Preserving Body.

NEW YORK, May 2S.--Howard Kretz, a
young man about 22 years OF age, who says
he is an art student of the Academy of De-
sign in this city, made a startling and sue
cessful leap from the Brooklyn bridge before
dusk this evening and came out of the river
uninjured.
Just before o'clock Kretz boarded a
trolley car bound for Brooklyn. 1t was an
open one and afforded all the advantages
which he was looking for When the trolley
reached a point about 100 yards from the
first arch Kretz leaped from the car and
like flash vaulted over the high railing.
He took no time to steady himself for a
perpendicular drop and swung some distance
out from the structure before he assumed an
upright position.
The passengers jumped from the car and
peered through the railing, while hundreds
of persons on the promenade tried hard to
get a glimpse of the figure. Kretzs body
flashed through the air almost in perpen-
dicular streak. He struck the water foot
first cleaving it like an arrow. He disap-
peared for some seconds and then shot up
into view again, only to disappear for the
second time. The waters had hardly closed
over him when he reappeared and mme-
dately struck out strongly for the New York
shore.
One of the deck hands on the steamer Vul-
can, which was coming down the Eas triver,
saw Kretz flash through the air and disap-
pear in the water The deck hand gave the
alarm and the Vulcan was headed for the
young man, who was by this time swimming.
line was thrown to Kretz and he was
hauled aboard the freighter, which immed-
lately put in for its dock in the East river
on the New York side.
When taken on the Vulcan KretZ placed
his hands on his abdomen as If in pain, but
when the boat reached its dock Kretz sprang
from the boat upon the wharf. He was at
once taken into custody and hurried to the
Hudson Street hospitak Not the slightest
injury was found on his person, but he was
suffering from shock. He was detained on
the charge of attempting suicide.
Kretz is about five feet eight inches tall
and weighs about 140 pounds. He lives in
this city. He said he had been reading a
book on theosophy and that he wanted to
demonstrate that a man, by exercising his
will power, could do anything he wished
without injury to himself

DEAD MEMS NAMES ON ROLLS
No Confidence Placed in the Lists
of Cubnns Who Deserve
Gratuity.

HAVANA, May 2S-There were III appli-
cants today for shares in the $4,000, 900
which the United States has offered to the
Cuban troops. Thirty were given $75 each.
The others were not on the rofls, although
they had guns which they were ready to
turn in and certificates of service.
The United States military authorities con-
slider that the rolls are very unreliable. In
deed. the opinion is freely expressed that a
large prportion OF the names are fictitious
and that the rolls omit majority of the
names of those righnully entitled to share
in the gratuity The object Of this apparent
ly is to discredit the whole proceedings and
to show to the Cuban public that large
number of the troops refused to take the
American money.
Lieutenant Colonel George M Randall of
the Eighth United States infantry, the com
missioner experimenting the distribution
here, went carefully over the rolls of one
battalion with its commandant. He pointed
out thirty-fou names of men who are dead
and names OF others who had not been
heard of outside the rolls OF those paid to-
day twenty turned in arms-Mausers,
Remingtons and carbines. The other FIVE
showed receipts fro mthe alcalde vouching
for the delivery of their arms.
The payment will continue until noon to-
morrow in Havana city, but Colonel Randall
believes 1t will be necessary TO have addi-
tional days after while here and extra
pay rolls for men who have undoubtedly
seen service. He also believes that were the
payments to be continued in Havana for the
next three days at least 30 per cent Of those
entitled to apply would do so. Most of
these who received shares today asserted
that they only heard by accident that the
distribution was now actually taking place.
