AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.
Theme of Lecture by Mr.. Simon
Wolf


Mr.. Simon Wolf delivered lecture on
American diplomacy at st. Paul's English
Lutheran Church last night. A large au-
dience was present and the speaker was
warmly appiauded. He said that diploma
cy has had remarkable evolution in the
last fifty years
In every war We have had with Great
Britain said he, 'our diplomacy has
been successful. After our great civil war
We brought to the attention of England the
reparatiOn she owed US for having directly
and indirectly aided our enemies. and the
Alabama treaty stands out in bold relief as
great consummation. and one by direct
and not by dubious methods. The treaty of
Ghent Is another notable instance of Amer
lean diplomacy which, crowned with i'm
mortal renown- every one connected with it
and the recent treaty made at Paris cer-
tainly evidences rare Intelligence the

Il do not for moment say that this is
an Anglo-SaXon nation, for the population
is one that has come, from all parts of the
world and assimilat ed ids no other country
has into homogeneous people. but great
deal OF the fearlessnesss, pluck and intelli-
gerce for which the american people are
renowned is traceable to and has its origin
IN English and German Institutions 1t is a
well-known fact that the Spanish people
are the astutest of diplomats; that if they

MRS. DICKINS' SAD DEATH.
oline Explosion-PlumberT Tried
to Rescue Her.

WASHINGTON, July s. - Plumber
Vaughn and a companion, who had
been working in the house where Cap
tain Dickins of the navy and wife lived,
entered Il room i'll which Mrs. Dicbins
sat cleaning some rugs with gasoline
One of the men carried plumbers
brazer. An explosion followed. The
two men Were thrown down. AS soon
AS they found their feet Vaughn seized
Mrs. Dicllins and attempted to drag her
from the room. The flames We're, how
ever, so fierce that he was compelled TO
drop her and flee for his own life. He
thinks that she was then dead.
The explosion was of such force that
ii rent the stone steps in front of the
house. The plumbers said that consid-
cradle quantities of the gasoline had
apparently been spilled upon the floor.
Word was sent to the navy depart
ment, where Captain Dickins is next to
Admiral Crowninshield at the head of
the bureau of navigation The exact
character of the catastrophe was not
made known to him, but he was brought
hurriedly to the Dickins residence in
cal riage. He almost tainted as he was
helped from the carriage up the stone
entrance steps. Going inside, he identi-
fed the body as that of his wife. The
body of Mrs. Dickins was borne to the
next house, where n surgeon of the
navy resides.
Mrs. Dickins was an authoress of
some note, one of her best known books
being "Around the World in Man OF
War She was also frequent con-
to magazines.
