neer in the street railway business of the
smoky city. He was well educated and
graduated from college. But he was
rich mans son, with all the weakness and
the vices that come with idleness
His father died and left him a fortune

Then his aunt Miss Jane Holmes died and
left him between $4,000 and $500, 600
With this money he came to New York and
plunged into the gay life of the Tender
loin. He went to Paris and lived there
several years. living prodigally throwing
his money about as If there were no end
to it.
When he was broke he came back to New
YORK Here he eked out a precarious liy-
ing, losing one job after another because
OF his passion for stimulants and mar

He was close to Poverty Hollow when

wore good clothes and looked neat and

THE PARIS EXPOSITION,
Reasons Given for Continuing 1t Si1
Days Longer.

Reasons Given for Continuing 1t Six
Days Longer.
The Paris newspapers just received here
give the reasons that actuated the officials
In continuing the exposition six days after
the date originally set for the closing They
say that it Is their desire that every indi-
vidual in the city of Paris shall have an
opportunity to see the exposition and the
great exhibits that have been gathered
there. In pursuit Of this educational pur-
pose. it Is their plan during the six addi-
tional days to place at the disposal Of every
charitable institution in and around Paris
a sufficient number of admissions to enable
all their inmates to visit the exposition
By this charitable measure and by the ban
quet given to the mayors of France the
government hopes to modify the strained
conditions that usually follow such EXPOSE
tons.
The foreign commissioners opposed this
measure of extension. as 1t involves addi-
tional expense, not only in extended sala-
ries, but in the penalties to observe con-
tracts for the taking down Of exhibits and
the shipment to ports Of departure within
the time specified. This unexpected outlay
for the United States will amount to at
least $4,000, and while the money will be
spared with difficulty. the motive which
prompts the expenditure Is one which will
appeal to the American people.

INTERVIEW WITH SIxTO LOPEZ,
He says Filipinos VIII Continue Fight
for Independence.

for Independence.
In an interview with representative of
the New York Herald in Boston, Senior
Sixto Lopez. formerly a member of the
Filipino commission. gives his views on the
situation In the Philippines. He said in
part: Under any conditions involving a
Withholding Of independence the Finpinos
will continue to fight in defense"
What will induce the Filipinos to stop
fghting?" he was asked.
First the granting Of independence" he
replied. Second. definite promise of in
dependence. Third. declaration of policy
by the administration placing the Philip
pines in similar position to Cuba. Any
one of these would result in an immediate
cessation of hostilities, and everything, in
Guiding foreign obligations. protection to life
and property, coaling stations, military and
naval bases. would be arranged by friendly
negotiations"
DO they recognize American responsible
ties to the world at large since the United
States has driven out Spain?
Yes. But those responsibilities ought to
be discharged by America, and not at the
expense Of the Philippine independence
Those responsibilities. in SO far as the
treaty Of Paris is concerned. were under
taken by America without consulting us.
They ought therefore. to be discharged
without making US pay the whole of the
penalty. They surely involve some sacri-
flee on the part Of the United States"

This was at o'clock. Three hours later
he was dead in the alcoholic ward of Belle

an utter. irretrievable failure.
He had attracted no attention in the
busy corridor of the big hotel. He was

was under the influence of drugs and drink.
None saw the hopeless horror in his eyes.
But suddenly he pitched forward upon the

THE NEW BATTLESHIPS.
Discussion in the Naval Board Of
Continuation,

The naval board on construction yester-
day closed a protracted discussion over the
specifications for the new battle ships. All
remaining points were disposed of, and If
Secretary Long concurs in the boards
recommendations, the plans for the new
ships will be complete. The discussion of
the last few days has been unusually
spirited, owing to a rather marked division
of opinion between the heads of the several
bureaus. 1t was decided to leave all equip
ment features to the equipment bureau
also to leave to the engineering branch, in
stead of to the construction. six features
pertaining to engineering, such as the pipes
for the cold storage. etc, and to give to the
ordnance branch. and not to construction
the control of hoods for coming towers.
The recommendations of the board will be
that these features shall stand, not only az
to the new battle ships. but that In all
future specifications for warships the same
division of designs shall obtain.

HOLE IN THE BUTFALO'S SIDE.
The Cruiser COllides With the Battle
Ship Massachu1etts.

An accident occurred to the auxiliary
cruiser Buffalo at the Brooklyn navy yard
yesterday which will necessitate placing
the ship in the dry dock for repairs. The
Buffalo was being lowed by two tugs from
the channel leading to the dry dock in Or
der to make room for the passage OF the
st. Paul to go into the dock.
The fact that strong wind was blowing
at the time and the tugs did not make q
sufficient detour caused the Buffalo to
swing with great force against the PROV OF
the battle ship Massachusetts,, lying at the
end Of the Cobb dock. AS a result hole
was stove in the Buffalo amidships below
the water line and her plates bent. A diver
went down and temporarily stopped the
leak. The officials at the yard say that
the accident II not q q serious character.

Mr.. Jenkins sues to recover amounts
which he alleges are due him for SER

which he says he advanced to the
company. Albert Bucknam, of Taylor,
the secretary of the Iiushbrook Coal
company, and f.. A. Coray, of New

that he never advanced any money
to the company. There will be an
other hearing today.

Judge r. w. Archibald refused yes
terday afternoon to grant an extension
of time in the Fell township election
contest, which has been dragging
along it's weary length since one year
ago last May.
The contestants are T. NJ. Holmes
and John owens, who seek to oust
Nicholas Glenn and Thomas Henning
from the offices of Justice Of the peace
and school controller, respectively, al
leging that they were unlawfully elect
ed at the election held in February
1899.
Attorney NJ. j. Walsh, who repre-
sents Glenn and Henning, made the
application yesterday for the extension
of time and alleged that they have
not had time to examine all their wit
nesses and that some of them Will
have to be brought in on attachments.
Saturday is the last day for taking
testimony, and he said the work could
not be done in that time. Attorney c..
c. Donovan, who represents the par
ties on the other side of the case, said
that while only 164 votes were cast for
the defeated candidate for the office
of justice of the peace 296 have al
ready been examined.
Upon this showing Judge Archibald
refused to grant the extension asked,
believing that the contest had gone
beyond bounds already. Attorney Don
ovan subsequently agreed to allow At
torney Walsh until next Tuesday to
bring in the real bona fide witnesses
whose testimony is desired. Many OF
those on the list presented at yester-
days hearing as persons for whom at
tachments were desired have already
been examined.

THE CELEBRATED GORDON PIANO

today, and tonight owen Moran, who
was arrested two weeks ago, will be
given hearing by Alderman Millar.
Mayor Moir is highly elated over
the results of his crusade. He re-
marked to a Tribune man yesterday:
Eyes, on the whole, / think we've
done petty well. We have only done
two weeks actual work, as 1 was out
of the city one whole week since the
ordinance was passed, and during my
absence nothing was done.
"a thing which 1 notice with pleas
ure now, is the fact that the people
of the city themselves, are beginning
to take a lively interest in the war on
the speakeasies, and to come in and
report any cases that come under their
observation, and even to accumulate
evidence against them. This, of course,
saves the city the expense of ferreting
out the holes-in-the-wall, and we
certainly appreciate the action of citi-
zens in thus aiding us.
"You will notice that the police
themselves are not taking any active
part in these arrests. 1 do not think
that we can afford to let the patrol
men do this work, as they have enough
to do already, and while they are eX-
pected to report any speakeasies they
come across, still we are using special
officers, almost entirely for the arr
rests.
in nearly all OF the cases so far.
the persons arrested have paid their
fines. Two have been committed to
the county Jail. and one has re-
ceived the minimum penalty" a..r
