A Point for Mrs. George.

Canton, o., April 12.-In the trial of
Mrs. Annie George for the murder of
George D. Saxton, brother-in-law of
established beyond any doubt that Mrs
George was within two blocks of the
place where Saxton's body was found
within ten minutes of the time it is al
legged Saxton was murdered. The pri-
mary fact established by the State was
that of SaXton's death. This was done
by means of several physicians Sax
ton had four bullet wounds in his body,
two of which were fatal wounds.
The State yesterday introduced more
witnesses to show that Mrs. George
had been in the neighborhood on the
night of the murder, Janitor Noble
and his wife of the Dannemiller block,
where Attorney Sterling's office is, tes-
titled that Mrs. George was there at
obout o'clock or a little before" This
was a point for the defence, as it has
declared all along that Mrs. George
was at this place, two miles from the
scene of the murder at o'clock while
the State declares she did not reach the
place until some time after o'clock.
Judge McCarty of the Common Pleas
Bench testified that Mrs. George had
come to his home about 535 o'clock on
the evening of the murder and had
asked him if she could not go to the
Saxton block, despite the injunction
issued by Judge McCarty restraining
her He told her she could not do so
and she said she would not go.

VANDERBlLTS IN A FIRE.
The Newly Welded Couple Routed Out at
an Early Hour,

New York. April 1.-THE country
house of William K. Vanderbilt, known
as Idle Hour" was completely de-
stroyed by fire at an early hour yester-
day, at Oakdale, Long Island Not a
portion of the building remains stand
ing. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and
his wife escaped unhurt, as did all the
other occupants. Nearly all the paint
ings and furniture We're destroyed, the
hour at which the fire occurred pre-
venting the saving of much that was
valuable.
The fire was discovered by one of the
Waterman, who saw flames coming
from the cellar at half past three
o'clock in the morning. The Waterman
aroused the occupants of the house,
who soon began to hurry from the
building. Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
were among the first to leave the
house. They went few hundred feet
away from the blaze and stood quietly
watching it while the servants began
to remove some of the furniture on the
lower floors One of the servants car
ried a rocEing-chair to Mrs. Wander
bilt, who, after throwing a heavy robe
about her shoulders, sat in the rocking
chair and watched the destruction of
the house.
Mr.. Vanderbilt left his wife as soon
as he saw she was in no danger and
gave directions for subduin" the fire
He had an alarm turned in speedily
and the volunteer firemen of Sayville
and Oakdale were notified. The mem
bers of the South Side Country Club
were aroused, and they ran to the
Vanderbilt house as rapidly as possible
and endeavored in every way to extfn-
guish the flames, but without the least
success.
When the volunteer firemen of the
neighboring villages reached the Van
derbilt grounds the flames had spread
throughout the entire structure, and
had communicated to the annex. In
two hours the building was in ruins.
Mrs. Vanderbilt remained seated in the
chair on the lawn until half-past six,
when the flames had almost died out.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, after his fruitless eff
forts to prevent the destruction of his
fathers property returned to his wife,
and they went to the house of the
lodge-keeper at Westgate.

Mr.. HOBART BETTER.
His Physicians Hope to Have Him Out in
Few Days.

Washington, April 1.-THE sensa
tional reports in regard to Vice-Presi-
dent Hobart's health are very annoy
ing to his family and friends. Mr.
Hobart has been a very sick man, but
he is much improved now, and his
physicians hope to have him up and
out within a few days. He had not
sufficiently recovered from the attack
of grip last February to make the trip
South, and went to Thomasville against
the advice Of his physicians. An at
tack of acute indigestion followed. and
he was very i'll for several days. The
doctors prescribed absolute quiet and
for this reason refused to allow any,
one to see him.
The stories that he was so i'll that
even the President could not see him
started in this way. No fear is ex-
pressed as to his condition now.

The same dyes will never make full,

hence diamond Dies have special line of
colors for cotton.
Their fast cotton dyes are guaranteed
to give perfect satisfaction, and to make
colors that cannot be washed out in strong

OREGON MAY GO BACK

THE other day we CHANGED to
pick up an old copy of the Kan
sas City Star, dated April 20, 1898,
and our eyes fell on the above head
line. Accompanying the article was
map showing the route of the Or
egon from San Francisco around the
Horn.
1t also shows the supposed loca-
ton of the much dreaded Spanish
torpedo boat Temerraio and express
ses fears for the safety of the
Oregon. In the light of after facts
this shows how groundless were our
fears and how little we knew of the
prewess of our navy at the time.
The whole country was IN state
of suspense during that memorable
trip, lest the Oregon should meet a
torpedo boat and be blown out of
the water.
After facts showed that had the
Oregon met the whole Spanish fleet
she would have been able to cope
with them and would doubtless have
destroyed them all single handed,
and here we were worrying ourselves
almost to death lest she should be
intercepted by this one little torpedo
boat.
The Spanish war had the effect to
give us some little idea and appreci-
alton of our greatness as Nation if
nothing else.

FRENCH ROWDYISM

THE French President, NJ. Lou
bet, was mobbed last Sunday
at the races by gang of toughs,
and shamefully mistreated. They
struck him with canes, stoned and
egged him. The police had hard
work to rescne him from the mob
and get him back to his quarters.
This mob was composed of the
titled aristocracy of Paris.
We indulge in some very disgrace
full acts in this country towards our
chief magistrate, but hardly come
up to this. Probably if Mr.. Loubet
had gone to church, where an
American President would have
been found on Sunday, he would
have escaped this humiliation.

Turing the fore part of the

Indians were going to have big
pow-wow up in that country. They
spent the greater part of the night
before in reveling and surrounding
an undue quantity of frewater.
They had to cross a small lake,
known as the Lake of the Clouds,
to get to the place of general rev.
elry. Feeling little hilarious from
the effects of the nights orgies,
they started up race with their
canoes. A fog prevailing at the
time, they could not see where they
were going, and two large well-filled
canoes ran together, drowning about
thirty of the occupants.

Scboolboaro 11eetin9

The board at their meeting Mon
day night took up several questions
of importance to the school interest.
The salary question was discussed
quite freely, but was finally left prac-
tically as last year. All old teachers
re-employed are to have the same sal
airy as last year.
A few of the new teachers employed
suffered a slight cut from last years
scale.
The most important matter that
came up was the motion to submit a
bond proposition, which was carried
with but little opposition, THE
TIMES over a month ago took the
stand that it was absolutely necessary
to build this summer, and we feel
somewhat flattered that the board
after months careful consideration
of the matter has concluded that we
were right. Our schools demand more
room and there should be no hesita-
ton whatever on the part Of the peo-
pie in voting the bonds.
A motion prevailed requiring all ap-
plicants for positions in the Chanute
schools to pass an examination in yo-
cal music and history.
Substitute teachers were elected as
follows: Nellie Conkright, Mae Cop
pock, Pearl Johnson and Leila Light.
The chairman appointed the vari-
Gus committees, and at late hour
the board adjourned to meet Tues
day, June 20, peace and harmony pre-
vailing.

than SIoo, 900, the total would be
bout SI2, 900, 900, 900, leaving
$7S, 900, 900, 900 to be divided up
among those with modest fortunes
or a competency. All of which
goes to show that our Populist
friends are greatly exaggerating the
situation when they talk about the
millionaires owning the earth.
One of the most interesting of
the tables prepared by Mr.. Speed is
the one showing the manner in
which the fifty richest men in Ameri-
ca accumulated their fortunes.
Twelve gained wealth by "building
and operating railroads and specu-
lating in railroad shares" Ten may
accredit their fortunes to an Gin
crease in the value of land" Seven
got rich in "producing and refining
petroleum. Seven owe their accu-
mutations to commerce and subse-
uuent investments. Three waXed
wealthy in the business Of "sugar
refining" Five only are listed as
gaining their fortunes in the mining
of "gold, silver and copper" Two
made their fortunes out of steam
boating. One is meat packer, one
an insurance king, one an iron deal
er, one telephone prince, and two
are very rich from "banking and
other investments. AS only two
of the whole fifty are listed as bank
ers-these, by the way, being d. ..
Mills and ]. Pierpont Morgan-it
would seem that certain orators and
writer's might feel the necessity of
recognizing their conceptions of
this class. The average novelist
who desires to picture man of al
most fabulous wealth usually pre-
sents a "retired banker, while that
other purveyor of fiction who perl
odically appears on the stump in
the guise of friend of the poor
man always declaims of this occu-
patton as the very incarnation
of oppression, greed and avarice.
AS matter of fact legitimate bank
ing offers no opportunity for great
and sudden wealth, That saving
clause, "other investments" is
probably to be credited with fetch
ing Mills and Morgan into the
ranks of the millionaires. 1t is
doubtful If all the profits of the big
gest bank in America for any mans
lifetime would be sufficient to place
him among the great financial kings.
Yet the business of banking is more
singled out for assaults by the po-
litical demagogues than any other
in the land, and so persistent has a
certain class of crusaders been that
it is not surprising to find much
prejudice against this business i'll
the public mind.

TONIGHT Fitzsimmons and Jeffrlt

TONIGHT Fitzsimmons and Jeffrles
are to fight at Coney Island, Fitz
to defend the championship and
Jeffries in an effort to win it. Jeffries
has years and weight much in his
favor, but Fitzsimmons is a regular
cyclone and it is doubtful if Jeffries
can keep track of his rapid motions.
Fitz weighs about 165 pounds and
Jeffries about 235. Both are said to
be in fine condition. There will be
no vindictiveness in the fight, simply
a test of the skill and endurance of
the men. Fltz is the favorite in
betting circles. Fitz will rely on
his wonderful skill as boxer and
Lightning like action and Jefries on
his weight and immense strength.
Fitz has mastered all the tricks of
ring tactics IN his many combats.
Jeffries is young man of herculean
build and much skill, but lacks the
actual experience with skilled foes.
