Hooper" he said. was in bad
shape with the company when he
ended his life. His stealings ran
away up into the thousands. We were
hot on his trail just about the time OF
his death, and would soon have had
the evidence to arrest him. He had
wealthy relatives in England. who
afterwards paid the money to the
company in order to remove the stain
from the family name.
The reason that Hooper had lef:
the money in the strong box that
morning was this: He had already
determined to die by his own hand.
He receipted for the money and
handed you the keys so that you could
take the money and become a rich
man. Had you done SO. suspicion
would never have attached to you.
This he knew very we'll. | have often

CABLING TO MANILA.
Something About the Method and Cost
OF the Process.

The active operations of the army
near Manila and the anxiety. of people
in the United States to communicate
with friends and relatives who are
with Gen. Otis have caused many in
quiries as to the cost of cable mes
sages. When Admiral Dewey present
ed the compliments of Uncle Sam &c
the Spanish ships in Manila bay tel
egraphing to that part of the world
was an expensive luxury, the cost be-
ing $3.50 a word. Business has in
creased since then, and will continue
to grow, and the rate has been reduced
by slow stages until it has now reached
the bargain counter price of S2.35 a
word. The same rules as to address
and signature which are followed with
regard to European kilograms are Civ
en- messages to Manila. Messages may
be prepared and the telegraph company
sends one code word-at the expense
Of the telegrapher-to indicate how
many words the prepaid answer may
contain. A man whose cousins name
was on the list of wounded last week
telegraphed: Hospital, Manila. Wire
condition Smith, Third artillery. Book.
Jones, New York" The message fig
ured ten words and cost $3.50. The
word book indicated that an answer OF
five words had been prepaid, and the
whole transaction cost $35.25.
Sending or receiving messages is out
Of the question with hundreds of peo-
pie who are deeply interested in the
movements of the army, and to these
the published reports giving the names
OF officers and men who were killed
and wounded were the only source OF
information during the last few days.
A man whose brother had been wound
ed made inquiry at the office OF the
post adjutant at Governors Island as
to how he could obtain further infor-
nation as to the condition OF the
wounded man, and whether any addi-
tional details would be sent from the
front. He was told by the officer in
charge: The casualty lists are cabled
to Washington and are made public at
once. These lists contain the names
of the killed and wounded, but after
that no reports are sent as to the
progress of the cases in the hospital |
Lists of dead are sent from time to
time and are published" The man was ,
advised to write to the war depart T,
ment, saying that he was interested in |
the condition of the soldier in question |
and would like to be informed If any |
news from him reached the war de-
partment. a request of that kind will |
be honored by the department. News |
concerning the soldier will be promptly |
forwarded to the given address, but An |
of the great expense OF
hospital reports by wire |
are not as complete as they were from
he army when il was operating nearer
home.

Cruisers Race to Manila.

Washington, d. c. November 30
The cruiser New Orleans has arrived
at Colombo on her way to Manila
This brings her up to the cruiser
Brooklyn for the first time since the
race to the Philippines began. The
Brooklyn arrived at Colombo yes
terday and will coal in time to get
away ahead of the New Orleans.
The latter has been gaining of late,
however, and has bettered her posi-
ton against the Brooklyn by two
days since leaving Alden. At this rate
the indications are that the New Or
leans will be the first to arrive at
