C. W. JONES,
Cant Cophlan's Assignment


The cruiser Raleigh, which was one
Of the first Of Admiral Dewey's feet
to return home. has been ordered out
of commission at the navy yard Ports
mouth, n. H., preparatory to under
going extensive repairs and alterations.
Orders have been issued at the Navy
Department detatching all her officers
and placing them on waiting orders or
assigning them to other duties Capt.
]. b. Ocghlan. her commanding Of
ficer, is assigned TO duty as command
ant Of the naval station at Puget sound,
to take effect June 30.
Surprise is expressed in naval cir
cles that Capt Ooghlan should have
received so important and desirable an
assignment, in view of the general
understanding that he was reprimanded
by the Navy Department. for injudici-
ous and uncalled for criticisms Of the
German emperor and the German ad-
miral at Manila. At the time OF the
utterance Of these comments it was
stated that the Secretary of State had
disavowed all official responsibility for
them to the German ambassador here,
and that Capt Ooghlan was in conse-
quence to be relieved Of his ship and
publicly reprimanded. How much Of
this was true has not developed, ex-
cept that it is known that Secretary
Hay did express regret at the "unfor-
tunate incident. Capt Ooghlan was
not relieved of command Of the vessel
until she was ready to be put out of
commission, ard if he was reprimaded
at all the character of the reprimand is
known only to himself and the Secre-
tary of the Navy, 1t has been the in
variable practice Of the Navy Depart.
meut to make public reprimands in all
cases where the offense charged against
the officer reprimanded was committed
in public or made matter Of public
scandal. Why the practice was not fol-
lowed In the case of Ooghlan, suppos-
ing him to have been reprimanded, is
not known. It is stated at the Navy
Department that the letter written by
Secretary Long to Capt. Coghlan will
not be made public at that department,
but that Capt. Coghlan may do as he
pleases in the matter.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Clarke, OF 1913 east
Sixty-tfth street, was taken by her
nurse to Central Park on Sunday, since
which time neither has been seen. The
nurse was engaged without references
and had been employed by the Olarkes
less than week. She gave her name
as Carrie Jones, and stated that she
was from Port Deposit.
Mr., Clarke, feeling strange un.
easiness about his child, started TO the
park about ten minutes after the nurse
and child had left his home. Upon
arriving at the park he found the baby
carriage but the nurse and child were
not in sight. He learned, however,
that the nurse had taken the little girl
out for a walk but though he searched
far and wide, aud had several to aid
him, he could not find them

 San Francisco Bulletin: There is no singer in the world who can draw more than $12,0o0 house. There is no ora tor who can much raise the $1 admis- sion fee without exposing himself to the danger of speaking to empty benches. If the four most popular de- baters selected by popular vote would advertise a discussion on any question of the day they would be fortunate if an audience could be gathered which would net each $1 GOO. Yet it is stated that there was $80,000 in the box office of the Coney Island Clubhouse on the night when Robert F'itzsimmons and James Jeffries met to see which could punch the other harder, and which could stand the most punishment. The best of any class of performers always represents a money value, but the best fighter carries off the largest prize.
