HELPED HIM TO a NEW LIFE.
hbishop Corrigan Tells How He
Once Aided Burglar to Reform.

Archbishop Corrigan, speaking at
New York on the possibilities in prison
reform work, related a bit of personal
history which had long remained
secret in his own breast.
1t was at a meeting in the home of
Mrs. Westervelt to form plans to aid
Mrs. Foster, the 'Tombs angel" in her
work. Archbishop Corrigan took an
active interest in the proceedings, and
after Mrs. Foster had told how her self
imposed task had often been made
lighter by the deeds of those she
helped, he spoke of an experience he
once had with one just out from prison.
at was years ago." the archbishop
said, ''that a man who had just been
released came to me and asked that
I supply him with money to get him to
San Francisco, where he promised to
start life afresh. What claims have you
on me- l asked, that should do this?'
NY strange visitor hesitated and then
said: L entered your room one night
with evil in my heart. You were asleep
and my task was easy. l had taken
your watch-I can even now tell the
number of it-when something caused
me to make a closer inspection of the
room, and l saw who you were. 1 put
back what had taken and departed as
empty-handed as 1 came
1.-The mans story decided me-" the
archbishop continued, "and gave him
$500. He did as he had promised, went
far away and started a new life. With
in a year I received 500 from him.
Every year since l have received from
the same penitent a similar sum. The
original debt has long since been re-
paid"

Men will put away the saber
And together hey will labor
Each to help a helping neghbor.

THE PRESIDENT
AFTER THE TRUTH
Gen. Miles Must Face a Heavy
Responsibility.
MUST PROVE HIS WORDS
Apart From the Report the Facts Must
Come Out Regarding the Allegations
Concerning Bad Beef Supplied
to the Army.
! MUST PROVE HIS WORDS

Washington, February 3.-The purpose of
the president to terminate the unsatisfac-
tory state of affairs that has existed for
some time as the result of the numerous
charges and counter charges and interviews
respecting the character of the army beef,
by instituting a formal inquiry into these
matters and endeavoring to place the re-
sponsibility where it belongs, was made
known today This inquiry will not be
undertaken before the commission to In
vestigate the conduct of the war has made
its report to the president. The scope OF
this new inquiry has not been defined, but
II certainly will embrace the allegations
made by General Miles as to the character
of the army supplies and will involve that
officer to the extent that he must make
these charges good, and to that degree will
be on trial himself in a preliminary man
ner Should the charges be found well es-
tabished heavy responsibility would be
placed upon the packers and persons con-
cerned In the meat inspection and perhaps
others; should they fall unsupported, GEN
eral Miles may be obliged to answer to a
CONTINENTAL for rejecting upon the char
acter of other officers.
There are two methods by which such
an investigation may be conducted accord
ing to established military usage. The
first is by the appointment of a court of
inquiry and the second by the appoint
ment of what is known as an officers or
inspection board. In the former case it
nv tn officer
who is to be the subject of investigation.
In the latter the board is charged simply
to inquire into a state of facts, or alleged
facts, without reference to any particu-
lar person and to place responsibility. If
possible, for anything of which complaint
is made. Their findings may serve as the
basis for a courtmartial quite as effec-
tually as the findings of a court of inquiry
and has some advantages in that it does
not begin with the presumption of court
of inquiry. Where a court of inquiry Is
ordered it is said there is convyed dis
tinct reflection upon the officer named.
Because of this, when the navy depart
ment requested the war department to or
der a court of inquiry to investigate the
circumstances attending the killing of a
number of Spanish prisoners on board the
Harvard, the latter instead ordered an
inspection board, considering that the or
dering of the court of inquiry might be
looked on as a predisposition against our
troops. Such officers boards are frequently
ordered to fix responsibility for the loss or
damage of stores, and several of them have
been appointed during the war TO look in
to the loss of meats, notably in the case
of that shipped to Porto Rico and returned
to Montauk Point. Like court of In.
quiry, these boards return statements Of
facts developed by them upon which the
superior authorities can act.
1t is not possible at present to learn In
which direction the president leans.

tanned in the examiners report. He re-
viewed a few of the charges, closing his
speech with the assertion that he would
vote to abolish the court and go before the
people In Jefferson county on the stump
with either of his colleagues and receive
their verdict on his conduct.
Mr.. Huey briefly reviewed the BILL His re-
marks were principally directed toward the
sentiment in Jefferson county as regards
the bill. He claimed that the opposition
had greatly diminished since the bill had
been amended so as to provide for the elec-
tion of a board of revenue by vote of the
people at the next general election.
Mr.. Thigpen moved an adjournment until
o o'clock tomorrow but the motion failed
by vote of so to 26.
Mr. Cofer gained the floor and spoke
against the bill.
Mr.. Kyle followed Mr.. Cofer. He re-
viewed the testimony before the house,
which he thought was sufficiently strong to
convict the defendants. He argued the
legality of the act to abolish the court
and cited precedents. He denied the in
sinuation that had been made of trades to
secure the passage of this measure.
Mr.. Hubbard followed in an able argu-
ment in favor of the bill and closed by
moving the previous question.
This motion was not heard by the speak
er, and he recognized Mr.. Gibson, who
was granted fifteen minutes to further dis
cuss the measure. Mr.. Gibson explained
the charge in regard to keeping the dogs.
He defended some of the corporations in
the tax assessments. He was interrupted
by a question to explain why two of the
commissioners had not signed the answer

The Fly in the Ointment


such a government as destiny may have
fitted them for.
The Fly in the Ointment
With respect to Cuba the president could
withdraw our forces whenever his good
sense dictates that he should do So Why
not give him the same latitude with refer
ence to the Philippines? Contemplating the
125 years of our nations history we find
but one impediment to progress and that
was found in the effort to introduce the
colored race, which was not assimilated
with the Anglo-Saxon. This race had
been the only fly in our national ointment
and the occurrence had been most sad and
tragic. 1t had the effect of turning
brother against brother and was the only
element that had prevented the Americans
from being a homogeneous people. Now
when we are happily beginning to readjust
ourselves to the changed conditions after
the civil war we are challenged to go forth
and lay the heavy hand of sovereignty
upon another and different race.
A Plea Against Deception
Mr. Daniel urged the senate not to 9
ceive itself or attempt to deceive the Ans
lean people about the treaty. Its ratifica-
ton, he declared. meant the utter destruc-
tion of all the tariff laws between us and
the Fiipinos; the destruction of all immi-
grafton laws relating to the United States
and the Philippines and accorded to the
inhabitants of the islands the right to come
into the labor markets of the United States
on exactly the same footing and under the
same protection as those enjoyed by the
working men.
This country stands today the foremost
nation of the world. Let her tread with
sure and steady step along her highways,
respecting master and man. Let her to the
tempter of expansion today say as He who
stood upon the mount said when the glories
of earth were stretched before him: Get
thee behind me- Satan
At the conclusion of Mr.. Daniels speech
the senate went into executive session and
soon afterwards adjourned.

Cowden Slightly Injured-It
Coursed Westward.

Tho extreme northeastern section of JEFF
ferson county was swept by a severe cy-
clone late yesterday afternoon, which, from
all accounts, appears to have been confined
to a narrow valley extending from Morris
station on the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road to the Blount county line, breaking it's
force against the high range of mountains
which extend along the line between Blount
Saint Clair and Jefferson counties.
About O'Clock the storm struck Dale's
quarry on the line of the Birmingham Min
eral railroad, about twenty-five miles
northeast of this city, and crossed the main
line of the Mineral at a point about one
mile north of Village Springs, leaving dew
astation in it's path, which was from 200 to
300 feet wide.
Comnissary building Demolished
AT Dale's Quarry the commissary of the
Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing compa-
ny was lifted from it's pillars and carried
somo distance to an old field
Fourteen houses occupied by negro quar-
ryman were demolished and seven of the
negroes were injured
A number of empty freight cars standing
on sidetrack were struck by the storm,
which propelled them up the track dis.
tance of about half a mile, jamming them
together in a quarry cut breaking the
drawheads and otherwise damaging them
The storm swept eastward and overturned
a large house occupied by Lige Cowden and
his family, short distance north of Village
Springs Cowden was slightly injured, but
his family escaped unhurt.
Accompanied by Heavy Rain
The wind was accompanied by a heavy
fall of rain and came from the west in the
regular funnel shaped cloud, which swooped
down without warning. The fury of the
storm was not spent until 1t reached the
Blount mountain which 1t crossed in a
northeasterly direction.
Huge trees, fences, field houses and
every thing in it's path were laid low and
although nothing could be heard from the
interior 1t is thought that considerable
damage was done.
Communication Cut on
Telegraph wires and poles along the rail-
road where it crossed were blown down
and for some time communication beyond
the point was cut off. A temporary wire
was rugged up by the section men when it
was learned that passenger train No. A,
which left here at $3.50 o'clock for Oneonta
barely escaped running into the path of
the cyclone, passing the point only a few
moments before the storm swept across
the track.
Superintendent Adams of the Pioneer
company went up to Dale's last night at
o'clock on a special engine which was sent
out from Boyles to ascertain what damage
had been done to the company's property
at that point.
Early in the evening it was reported that
two lives had been lost, but later informa-
tion failed to confirm the report.
