SUCH A NICE GIRL, TOO.
The Experience of Cad Wilson at a

Cad Wilson, who is "Such "a Nice

Butte as in any other place where vau-
deville theaters flourish. When she
closed her last engagement in this city,
and had sung all her old songs over
and over again until even her most
forgiving friends had grown tired, she
left for the Klondike. Cad had an idea
that she was warm enough to thaW
few articles even in that country, and
according to a report which has just
come from there she did not underesti-
mate her temperature.
There was a ball advertised some
time ago as going to be for strictly
respectable society,"" and to it any man
might, with no fear Of contamination,
take his sweetheart or his Wife The
ball was well attended, the ladies be-
ing chiefly of the married order, and all
went beautifully until after midnight.
By that time the theaters had closed
and the attendance at the dance halls
grew slim.
Then came Cad Wilson, poplar fig
ure at one of the vaudeville theaters,
and dozen of her female companions.
Their entrance created furry among
strictly respectable society women.
Several of them put on their wraps and

DELUGE OF WAR CLAIMS.
Volunteer Sailors Want the Extra
Pay Granted by Congress.

A great majority of the men who served
in the volunteer navy during the spanish
war are taking prompt advantage OF the
legislation of the last session of Congress,
which made provision for extra pay for
all naval volunteers who saw active serv-
ice in the war. A clause In the denclency
appropriation act provides as follows:
1.-The officers and enlisted men comprising
the temporary force of the navy during the
war with Spain who served creditaply De
yond the limits of the United States, and
who have been or who may hereafter De
discharged, shall be paid two months extra
nav. and all such officers and enlisted m7n of
the navy who have so served within the
limits of the United States and who have
been or who may hereafter be discharged
shall be paid one months extra pay
A deluge of these claims under this act
have been pouring into the Navy Depart
ment for several days past. They are all
promptly referred to the auditor for the
Navy Department with view 10 their
speedy settlement.
In view of the fact that no such pro-
vision was made for the benefit of volun-
teer officers and enlisted men in the ma
rine corps, 1t is not likely that they Will
receive any extra compensation for their
war services. The auditor for the Navy
Department, to whom the question was
presented, has decided that inasmuch as the
marine corps was not specifically mentioned
in the clause above referred to volunteer
members of that arm of the service are
not entitled to the extra pay therein pro-
vided for. An appeal has been taken from
this decision to the controller of the treas
ury, whose decision on such questions is
final, but there is no likelihood of his over
ruling the auditor.

DEATH OF b. p. HUTCHINSON.
Once Famous Operator on Chicago
Hoard Passes AMan

Benjamin p. Hutchinson, the former Chi
cago board of trade operator and packer,
died of heart failure at the Lakeside Saui-
tar1um, Lake Geneva, Wis, yesterday after
noon. He was seventy years old The re-
mains will be taken TO Chicago for inter-
ment.
Mr. Hutchinson's health began TO fail
rapidly three years ago, and during the last
two years he has been at the sanitarluru
where he died.
He was at the height of his fame in 1883
when he ran his corner in September wheat
After that began his decline and the finan-
clal end came in 1891. His last deal was a
big one, he being on the wrong side of the
market for $2.OO0o00. Financially crushed
he left Chicago and went to New York city,
Where he opened a secondhand store He
gave up that and returned to Chicago whers
he traded in small way when he could
get people interested in his schemes hui
his career may be said to have closed with
the big deal of 1891.
No one knew how much he was worth
He would never talk about private affairs
The estimates of his wealth when at his
height place the amount anywhere from
S20oo,Oo0 to $l6.0O0.0oQ. A conservative es-
innate places his richest days at S4,000,V01
to S6,000.OOO.

ASSEMBLY VS.. GOMEZ.
What n Leading Havana Newspaper
Has to Say the Subject.

The following quotations from the Ha-
vana Advertiser, leading paper of the
Cuban capital, seem to show the general
trend of public sentiment in that city with
regard to the controversy between the So
called Cuban assembly and Gen. Maximo
Gomez:
Gen. Gomez.
'"There has been an attempt in some
quarters to belittle Gen. Gomez, and very
likely he does not conform in all respects
to American standards. Itrmust be remem-
bered, however, that to the Cuban people
Gomez is the great hero of the war for
Cuban independence. He is rightly so re-
garded. The hardshipS which he has en-
dured give evidence of his devotion to the
cause of Cuba, and the fact that he insists
on absolute independence for the island will
but commend him the more to liberty-lov-
ing American citizens
Gen. Gomez has shown tact and good
judgment which promise well for the fu-
ture. AS the chief military hero of the
war 1t is but natural to think that the
Cuban people will want him to play an i'm
portant part in the organization of the civil
government which is to follow the period
of American military occupation.
HE should have been offered the preSi-
dency of the council of secretaries, provi-
sionally encharged, under Gen. Brooke S
supervision, with the superior direction OF
the civil government of the island; as this
would have put him in line for the eXecu-
tive chair, which under the republic or
protectordte he will naturally be first to be
called by popular suffrage to fill.
But, as the presidency of the council has
now been temporarily abolished; unless it
can be revived, he should be made vice
governor general or, at least, secretary of
militias and agriculture for the island"
Gen. BrOOlke's Instructions.
Under instructions from Washington,
Military Governor General Brooke has serv-
er formal notice upon the Cuban, so-called,
assembly that their acts will in nowise be
recognized by the United States nor its rep
resentatives here, and that any loan the
existing. Assembly may attempt to float
will be repudiated by the government of oc-
cupation and never with its consent aD-
palities.- ,s..
This will be sad blow to Gen. Freyre-
Andrades political ambition, and Is a de-
served rebuke to those Cuban patriots who
have been scheming to perneluate the in
fluence here of the Spanish Bank under a
new name and reorganized upon the basis
of Cuba Libre' Loan
Gomez Aiding Us.
Gomez, the patriot general-in-cslief, is
holding cordial conferences daily with Mil
itary Governor General Brooke, and cheer
fully cooperating with the United States
authorities for Cubais welfare. And the
criticism of Cuban assembly leaders does
not worry him in the least

Discharge of ReguIars.

General Brooke has been cabled to pro-
ceed to the execution of the order providing
for the discharge of all soldiers who en-
listed in the regular army at the outbreak
of hostilities, upon the cessation of the
war, should they apply for such discharge
He will endeavor to re-enlist as many as
possible, and will fill the vacancies remain-
ing in the regular ranks from volunteers
