DEsERTER PARDoNED.

Philadelphia, Nov 22.-Arthur Ryan
of Munice, Ind, who has been in Gus
tody on the receiving ship Richmond
at the League Island navy yard since
last week on the charge of desertion,
was today liberated and restored to
duty. Ryan disappeared from a war
ship at Callao South America, last
February. He surrendered last week
and yesterday the secretary of the
navy removed the mark OF "deserter''
from his name. 1t has been proved to
the satisfaction of Secretary Long that
Ryan was mentally deranged at the
time because of the death of his wife
two weeks after being ~rried.

DOMESTIC SECRETS.
st pains me very deeply to feel that
I am compelled to lay open the secrets
of my domestic life, but in view of the
insults which I have received at the
hands of writer's of letters which have
been published today feel justified in
somewhat overstepping the bounds of
propriety and saying that Mrs. Dewey
understood better than 1 did the feel
ings of the people and at first declined
to permit the house to be transferred to
her.
"She did consent only after an ar
rangement had been effected whereby
not only the house, which was the
gift to me from the American people,
but her entire personal fortune. which,
as you are aware, is considerable, was
ultimately to go to my son George.
Thus he had absolutely nothing to lose
by my conveying my house to my wife,
but on the contrary, was great gain
err thereby.
1.-The relations between my son and
! myself have always been the most
kindly, and between Mrs. Dewey and
my son the most pleasant. She thinks
| great deal of him and he of her, and
he was to be her heir as we'll as mine
more than it has me. He is now 26
years of age, and never in his life has
he asked me for a dollar. When he
was at st. Johns school and afterward
at Princeton, 1 kept him supplied with
money far in advance, and he would
frequently say that he had no use for
so much money. 1 told him If he did
nSt want to spend it, to put it in the
bank 1t is unlikely that 1 would
neglect his interests now.
II would never have believed it pos
sible" Admiral Dewey continued with
tears in his eyes, that the American
people, who made such a hero of me
two months ago, could have in this
brief period so turned upon me as to
fill columns of the papers with the
worst sort of abuse.
A FALLEN IDOL.
when l landed in New York I was
told that l was the hero the idol Of
the nation. l asked no idolatry; asked
no applause. I had merely done my
duty and was ready to do it again.
But I did ask one thing, which was
to be let alone, to conduct my personal
and domestic affairs as l saw fit, and
this one simple privilege which I asked
from the American people has been
denied me.
Where l was a hero two months ago
I am now reduced to such a position
that certain people can not say things
too villainous, too scurrilous about me;
and no one defends me. If I was so

PERSUASION FIRST TRIED.
This was the keynote of their action
and the women, full of enthusiasm and
determination, were in few minutes
on their way to the mines.
1t was then close to o'clock, the time
when the night shift went to work
The women's plan was to stop these

They first tried argument with some
of the men going to work for the night,

Boys Render Good Service at

the Campaign.

Washington, Nov 22.-The next move
of Importance is to be made by Gen.
Wheaton who will go up the coast by
transport to Vigan at the mouth of the
Abea river. This will land his forces
far to the north of where Aguinaldo is
supposed to be, the intention being to
cut off his retreat to the north.
From the military information bu-
reau it is learned that east of the route
Aguinaldo is taking are mountains In
habited by tribes unfriendly to Agui-
naldo and which would be likely to at
tack him If he attempted to cross their
territory. The country along the coast
is well settled. There are several lit
tie rivers making harbors from which
it is feared Aguinaldo may escape by

FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.
Inspectors O'Day and Stone Arrest
Thomas B. Seagraves.

Thomas B. Seagraves of Kingston,
N. Y, was arrested yesterday after
noon, by Inspectors O'Day and Stone,
and booked at Station as a fugitive
from justice. 1t is alleged that Sea-
graves stole pair of mules from his
employers in Kingston and on the
way to Worcester exchanged them for
three horses. The horses have been
recovered, and today Seagraves will
probably be taken to New York The
inspectors in looking up Seagraves
yesterday tracked him as far as his
home, at 1872 Chandler street, and when
they got there, his wife told them that
her husband was out of town. They
refused to believe this, however, and
later discovered their man hiding in
the cellar of his house.

AT HALF MAST.

Lord Pauncefote Shows An Unusual
Mark of Courtesy.
Washington. Nov. 22-In response to
a large number of Geographic inquir-
les, the treasury department desires it
stated that offices of all collectors of
customs and collectors of internal rev.
enue, stamp deputies and other Off
Gals, will be closed on next Saturday,
the day of the funeral of Vice President
Hobart.
The British jack over the British en-
bassy was at half mast today, as a
mark of respect for the late Vice Pres
ident Hobart. Lord Pauncefote and the
members of his staff left their cards at
the White House as a further evidence
of respect. The half masting of the en-
bassy flag attracted considerable atten-
ton, and was regarded as an unusual
mark of consideration to an American
official.

selling of newspapers on the Sabbath was an act of labor likewise the sale of cigars. and the keeping open of any store except restaurants and drug stores.
 Accordingly there were no Age-Heralds or other papers sold yesterday on the streets. The inconsistency in the attor- neys opinion is that he declares papers may be delivered on Sunday, but they must not be sold, not that the law Is violated in the selling but in the labor involved It is clearly seen that 1t is just as much labor to deliver as to sell.
 At any rate yesterday was observed as was the wont in the time the Connecticut blue laws were in effect and the result is that several travelling men who have been accustomed to spending their Sundays here went on to more liberal places and conse- quently there comes @ kick loud and long from the hotel men.
 Mayor Mcleod very properly refuses to construe any of the laws until the violators are brought before him. and as there was no one who cared enough to make a test case yesterday the matter stands until next Sunday.

TALLADEGA
Judge Brewers Funeral-The Seventh
 Circuit Judgeship

Talladega, July 1.-The funeral services of Judge Geo. E. Brewer were held at the Methodist church yesterday morning, be- ing conducted by Rev. J. F. Sturdivant, of Anniston. The funeral was largely attend ed and the K. of P. turned out in body.
 An unprecedented hot wave and drought Is now on in this section.
 In regard to the vacancy in the Seventh Judicial circuit, it Is but just and proper to Messrs. c. c. Whitson and J. B. Graham to say that neither of them is a candidate, and will not be. They have flattering in- ducements held out to them, but at no time have they considered the matter favorably. They appreciate-the kindly mention of their names for the position, especially as it was done without their knowledge, but they do not want a false impression to go out that they have sought or encouraged the mention of their names in this matter.
 In this connection 1t Is understood that Messrs. w. B. Castleberry J. w. Vandiver and B. F. Wilson of the Talladega bar are candidates.

 Dollars Damage

Oakman, July 17.-(Special)-T quiet little town was visited yesterday by terrible storm, the wind and rain coming together in a mighty rush, doing several thousand dollars damage. The whole front of Emile Gadilis' saloon was torn off and the large two-story Wilmington building sustained some damage. A large two-story dwelling, occupied by MT. Jack Lawson, was blown down, moving II several feet and totally ruining the house. There were ten persons in the house. All escaped injury except Mrs. Lawson, WHO was severely, but not fatally, injured by falling brick. The s 000-dollar college building which was in course of construction and of w--.ch Oakman was proud, being about one-third finished, was blown to pieces portions of it being blown several yards. Contractor Byars, however, had in his mind several days ago the power of w;nd to destroy. and had an insurance of $4,0O0 against wind and fire. There were several smaller dam- ages, but not very serious.

SELMA
Some Ideas of the New Administration
 Cause. Adverse Criticism

Selma, July 1I-(Special) )-Yesterday saw the enforcement of a lot of blue laws in Selma which are being styled as ridiculous and the height of folly by conservative citizens.
 The new administration which went in on the first of May has not had the easiest sailing. In the first place there exists deadlock in the matter of the selection of chief of police, and this has more or less influenced the city council in other matters.
 The campaign was won by what is styled the "reformers'' as against the ring" which has usually been successful hereto fore in politics, though there was no strict alignment between the forces.
 Mr. Mcleod, the mayor, shortly after be- ing inducted in office gave it out that he would enforce all laws In the code; If they were bad laws. repeal them," he said. There is statue in the code against Sabbath breaking which forbids the performance of any tabor on the Sabbath except of domes- tic necessity and comfort.
