"F1GHr1NG CHAPLAIN" DEAD.
Hero of the Spanish War FOun,
Dead in q Bath Room.

Hero of the Spanish War Found
Dead i'm a Bath Room.
New York, July 10. - Rev. Dwight
Galoup, pastor of st. Pauls Episcopal
church at Newark, N. j., was found
dead in the bath room of his parsonage
in that city last night, aged twenty
nine years. He went to the front in
the Spanish-A1herican war as chap
lain of the Ninth regulars. He went
to Cuba with the regiment and there
won the name of "the Fighting Chap
lain" He was on the field with the
Red Cross men during the battle OF
San Juan Hill. While aiding with the
work and while administering consola.
ton to the injured and dying, he saw
the efforts of the Spanish sharpshoot
ers in the tree tops to pick off the Red
Cross men. Seeing the badge was not
being respected he ripped the insignia
from his own arm, took the rifle. belt
and cartridges of man who had fall
en-, and during the rest Of the day, in
Guiding the charge to the top Of the
hill, fought as q private. Near the
close of the war he was wounded by
the fragments Of a shell. From the
time of his injury he was never strong.
He returned after the war and resumed
his duties in Newark. He had to give
up few months ago and went away
for a long trip. He Travelled as far
south as Brazil and returned July 4.
Mr. Galoup preached in the church last
Sunday and seemed stronger and bet
ter than he has been at any time since
he went away to the war.

Iowa county, Wis, lays claim to hav-
ing the lowest salaried official in the
employ of the United States govern
ment. The government hires Frank
Lynch for one cent year to carry the
mail between Dodgeville, the county
seat of Iowa county, and Mineral
Point, nine miles distant. Every four
years the postofice department con-
tracts to lowest bidders for transfer of
mail sacks. Last year there was the
1iveliest competition ever known for
the Dodgeville- Mineral Point contract.
Several different Len signified their
intention of going into the contest, and
the talk" was kept up until each bid
der knew that he would have to go
pretty low to get the prize. The man
who then held the contract had been
receiving about $40 per year for carry
ing the mail. It is said that when the
bids for the new contract were opened
in Washington it was found that the
three lowest offers for carrying the
mail per year were 1 cent, 80 cents and
$3.50. Frank Lynch, being the one
cent bidder, was awarded the contract
for four years.

The mud volcanoes situated in the
vicinity of Laytonville, Cal, have
burst into alarming activity. The
first intimation the inhabitants had
of the phenomenon was when an i'm
mense cloud of vapor issued from the
mouth Of the craters, accompanied by
sound like faraway thunder. The dis
turbance is 50 violent that great red
wood trees are swayed when the mud
and vapor shoots high over the rims
Of the crater and flows down the hill
side like lava stream into one of the
tributaries of the Eel River. The
murky craters are filled with blush
mud Of about the consistency of boil
ing tar, but the mud is icy cold. The
roar Of the volcanoes can be heard
for miles around.

The Porto Rican law is denounced;
also, the administrators Philippine
policy. The fulfllment Of Cuban pledges
is demanded. Stable government, in
dependence and protection for Filipi-

The platform does not oppose eXpan.

against private monopolies in every
form. Demands that products of trusts
be put upon the free list. Denounces
Republicans for failing to enact anti

condemned. Enlargement of the scope

Affairs Are Serious.
Lord Roberts dispatch reporting
still another unfortunate occurrence
throws a serious light upon the state
of affairs in South Africa. There has
been some comment recently regarding
the virtual absence Of progress by the
INNER Sc army under command Of Lord
Roberts, but few could have been
found to believe that the scattered
Beers were able to inflict such de-
feat so near Pretoria. Instead of the
sure nder of all the remaining Beers
being imminent as recent kilograms
had limited, it seems they fhave been
making a concerted attempt to sur
round or recapture Pretoria with so
much success that in the region which
was supposed to be pacified and in
which no attack was expected, they
succeeded in inflicting
A Serious Defeat
and capturing two guns and some 200
men. 1t is evident that Gen. Botha
has considerable force, seeing that he
is able to press Lord Roberts lines at
a half-dozen points around Pretoria,
from the Springs to the southeast OF
the city, northward to Miudleburg and
Durdepourt. and thence southwark to
Nitrars Mex and Krugersdorp., Lord
Roberts cmits to give the name Of the
commander concerned, giving rise to
the belief that worse remains to be
told. Even if the mishap be not more
grave than his information at present
implies, it proves that the situation is
still serious and that there is no posi-
bility of any troops being sparet! from
South Africa for China, but, OH the
contrary, it will still take long time to
clear the country of the Beers. News
has reached London that Lord Roberts
has been suffering from serious howell
complaint ard that Lady Roberts was
hurriedly summoned from Blosmfon-
tein. Lord Roberts, though now bet
ter, is still weak.
