tention for FIVE years to Miss Caldwell.
He wanted to release himself from prom
Use OF marriage, and. SO witnesses swear,

planned of being feverish. Henry. SO the
witnesses swear, took capsule from his
pocket and offered 1t to her. saying that he
very often used 1t himself when feverish.

A REcoRD-BREAKER.
The Newark Sails to Honolulu fI
Seven Days and Two Hours.

The Newark Sails to Honolulu in
Seven Days and Two Hours.
The Navy Department has received ad-
vices to the effect that the cruiser Newark
has made phenomenal record in her trip
from San Francisco to Honolulu. She sail
ed October IS and reached Hawaii in seven
davs and two hours. an unprecedented feat
by a naval vessel. The average speed for
the :. 200 miles was thirteen knots an hour.
The Newark was heavily ladened with
ordnance and other supplies and carried
800 tons OF fresh water. 1t is believed at
the Navy Department that the Newark
will win the race to Manila, which is be-
ing participated in by the Newark and four
ether vessels ordered to assist in Suppress
ing the rebellion in the Philippines.

hour. of hard labor had been spent upon

hours of hard labor had been spent upor
them.
Everywhere there was An evidence, moi
only Of cleanliness, but Of an effort te
make each re-fighting machine appear te
the best advantage. The paint and var
niEh on the wooden parts had been sponged
and rubbed, the brass and nickle parts
polished and frightened, the horses well
groomed; and their harness oiled and
blacked.
Those who were lost in admiration Of the
blue-coated guardians OF the peace found
ample Justification in the splendid showing
Of the fire laddies to tender them an even
greater ovation than that given the police
men.
Possibly the greatest interest and en-
thusiasm manifested was that Of the hun
dreds of school children who were packed
on the east front Of the Treasury Building.
The youngsters who ordinarily will chase
blocks after a fleeing engine in its mission
to save life and property from flame were
In ecstacy at the glorious sight presented
by the entire department on parade.
Cheered by Spectators.
AS each engine, hose carriage or truck
passed the Juveniles deafening cheers
greeted them. and the brave fellows who
stood like parts of the machines they man.
ned were made glad by the joyful shouts
and greetings.
With the fremen, as was the case with
the policemen, there was apparent q cer-
tain individual consciousness that all eyes
were concentrated on an individual COM
pany rather than on the entire division.
The firemen had competed for no prize
silk flag and consequently there had been
no Judges decision declaring any one
company a superior one over the others.
This. however. caused no depression. On
the contrary there was evident everywhere
an air Of supremacy indicative Of the pride
felt by the individual firemen for their
respective companies.
All seemed anxious to show that though
none had been onicially declared premiers
each felt the title belonged to him.
Summing up the parade Of the firmen in
few words 1t can be safely said that never
did the department appear to greater ad-
vantage than today.
Never was it so enthusiastically received
and never did it create a better impression.
And so it was with the policemen. The
concensus OF opinion was that the joint
affair will long be remembered as being
certainly praiseworthy. As well known
citizen and property holder expressed IL:
''Parades may come and parades may go.
/ have seen many Of them come and go
and l hope to see many more come and go.
but I hardly think. no matter how many
more I may be SO fortunate as to witness.
that any will be paramount to that Of to-
day. I hope, Of course. that each sue
ceeding year will see an EFFORT made to
improve on this which I have today wit
messed, but it will require grand enort
to improve upon it Z"

Persons on the different floors waiting to
go down saw a black streak shoot by them
and the next instant heard a deafening
crash. The jar when. the cage struck
threw the people in a heap. and as they
struggled out through the opening some of
them sank down on the basement floor,
while others scrambled and fell over them
in their anxiety to reach to place of
safety. For some reason not yet ex-
planned the cable broke in the crib at the
top of the shaft.

ambition, entered the Capitol this morning.
While being backed Immediately in front
of and below the Supreme Court Chamber
toward coal hole he refused to stop until
he found himself on his launches on the
pile of coal beneath, with his forefeet and
head Just above the opening. Workmen
attempted to draw him out with ropes.
but this was found to be impracticabie.
The coal was removed from beneath him
until he regained his feet. He was led
through the corridors until he came out on
the western steps OF the Capitol. which he
descended after considerable persuasion.
A workman on either side steadied him,
while one, with a firm grasp on his tai,
prevented his too sudden descent. When
safely landed he resumed his occupation
Of hauling coal.

drownings during the past week at differ

done more good than harm. Crops outside

The waters recede rapidly and the crops
will not be a total loss in the flooded dis

The railroads are heavy sufferers, as
