WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regaIsr correspondent


E" WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The an
nouncement that Admiral Dewey
had, on the advice of~his physician,
cancelled his engagements to visit
Atlanta and Philadelphia, and would
accept no more invitations for some
time. resulted in a batch of sensa
tional and misleading rumors as to
his physical condition. 1t can be
stated npon the authority OF his
physician, that Admiral Dewey is not
sick. but it was the tear that lie
might become sick. If he did net
take the rest his system required,
which prompted the advice for him
to cancel all engagements. He is out
every day and has taken an active
part in the selection of his future
home, on Rhode Island Avenue. near
Connecticut Avenue, which will be
purchased this week. and into which
he will move as soon as the title
changes hands. rs the house is all
furnished ready for occupancy. He
will also participate in the meetings
Of the Philippine Commission which
will begin this week. The CIVILIAN

though without any real violence, till
night came on. While the family Of
| Harvey Price was sitting at the table eat
| ing supper two or three rocks came whiz-
ing in at the door, striking near where
they were eating. A young man Of the
family grabbed n small hammer and ran
out at the door, then the fighting began in
earnest, aud in few moments general
pandemonium reighned all around. 1t il
estimated by some that about one hundred
shots were fired. JOSEPH kiser, son OF
Noah, was shot in the back under he left
shoulder. he d1cior prOhed six incnes,
but could not reach he ball, lie was also
shot through the thigh. We learn he was
speecbless Saturday morning. Daniel
Riser was shot through one arm, his son,
Dick, was struck across the face with a
beer bottle inficting a bad wound. Berb
kieer was struck across the back of the
head with some hard instrument making
fearful wound from which tie blood
flowed so rapidly that il was stopped with
great difficulty. Charley Belcher was shot
across the abdomen, but he luckily escaped
with only R hole in bis clothes. Allen
and Noah Kiscr, brothers Of Joe, got their
know not how many other casualties oc-
csrred of minor Importance. What an
opportunity this might have been for
those who contend that moral suasiOn is
the great and only remedy against the
liquor curse, 10 have demonstrated the
truth of their doctrine. They should have
been there with plasters of their medicine /
as large as the show masters advertising !,
sheets. They might have hung them up
in the open and, if genuine, the atmos-
phere itself would have Yielded up a virus
as poison as the thrice distilled devePs !
broth. Such sametul conduct as this
could not exist without the use of alcoholic |
liquors "a beverage, and such use of
liquor could not exist without the consent
of the Christian people of this country.
Then who is to blame? Lord is it T."

ADMIRAL SAMPSON is probably be.
ginning to realize

ADMIRAL SAMPSON is probably be-
ginning to realize
"What tangledweb we weave,
When first we practice to deceive, 4"
for he is now in trouble again. He
is to be given a sword next week at
Trenton, n. j. This was voted by
the New Jersey Legislature in the
midst Of the excitement growing out
Of the war. as the Baltimore american
puts it, and as the american goes on
to explain, Sampson had spent most
OF his leisure time in Jersey, and was
supposed to be constructively a son
Of that commonwealth. Moreover,
Sampson had bulletined himself into
fame as the hero of Santiago, and
there had not been time to disprove
specifically his audacious assumption.
So the sword was voted, and the day
set for the presentation, and all SEEM
ed to be serene" But-during the
war there was attached to SIMPSONS
squadron warship called the Reso-
lutte, and this vessel had on board
the New Jersey Naval Reserves. To
quote the american further: "At
the battle of Santiago the Resolute,
unlike Sampson, was in livery
much in it, in fact-because the re-
serves had to run the risk of the
enemy's guns, and had none that
would reach the Spaniards. At the
end Of the fight the Resolute rescued
four or five hundred Spaniards from
the sinking ships and the water.
When Sampson filed his report he
made no mention of the ReSolute, and |
in explanation says the ship could |
not reach the enemy with its guns, |
and was therefore, not in the battle. |
This excluded the New Jersey Naval
Reserves from all glory, and from
prize money likewise. and the re-
serves have applied to the courts Tor
justice. r The naval re-
serves were fine body of men, made
up from all professions and pursuits.
Their friends are asking whether
those who were in line to receive the
fire of the enemy at Santiago, but
were unable to reply, are not as much
entitled to notice as one who had the
guns to fire, but never got close
enough to Use them. Like the men
n the battle of the Nile, they were
here all the while, and took hundreds
If prisoners, but Sampson was not
heard OF until the shouts of victory
lad been ringing for an hour"
Naturally, the New Jersey prsenta-
ion of a sword to Sampson is not
likely to prove hilarious or very t
affsir.-Richmond Dis. {

The States Literary Funu.

The Richmond Times says: AS
many are aware and others will recall.
all state court fines, escheats and for
FIXTURES are made by law permanent
literary fund, which has grown to be
large annual item of revenue for
school purposes. The auditor once
every year turns over the collections
received from the various state courts
to the second auditor. The collec-
tons for this year have just been
transmitted to the second auditor.
They aggregate $22,453. The amount
will be invested in State bonds at
once. 1t is an interesting fact to
state in this connection that the in
vestment of the literary fund from
year to year will gradually absorb a
large portion of the outstanding
State bonds before they are paid.
Already nearly $l,5OO,00O of the
Riddleberger bonds constitute an in
vestment of this fund, as well as a
quarter of million dollars of Century
bonds. The school fund receives an
nually $48, 600 to $4,000 in inter
est on the literary fund investment.
