Red Cross Founder Poor.

Dr. Henri Dunant, who did so much
to humanize war, is living almost pen
niless in the hospice of Heiden in APP
pencil, Switzerland. He was instru-
mental in founding the Red Cross So
ciety by a literary work called "Un
Souvenirde Solferino," in which he
described wildly the sufferings Of the
wounded and aroused the conscience
of Europe. The Geneva convention OF
1864 resulted, and the neutrality OF
hospital and ambulance service was es-
tablished.

JONES CASE is TAKEN UF
Investigation Of Charges Made by
Treasurer herri0tt.

DIES MONIES, July 2.--Jesse Miller
has filed with the governor his report
concerning the conduct Of the Office o!
the clerk of the supreme court. The
commission was made because o:
charges by Treasurer Herriott tina:
fees belonging to the state were MOI
turned into the state treasury. Mr.
Miller states he had free access to all
the books in the clerks Office and that
amounts received from all classes OF
fees are easily ascertainable therefrom
He finds that all but the following
classes were turned into the treasury:
Money received for copies of supreme
court decisions furnished West Pub
fishing Co. of St. Paul.
Money received for copies Furnished
attorneys. at T.,
A portion of the money received TO,
to the bar. II
Money received for making examina-
tions of Judgment docket as to judg.
ments.
Money received for making tran.
scripts of cases appealed to the supreme
court of the United States.
The report states that copies were
furnished the West Publishing Co. at
Is cents page and that the amount
received by the clerk from January,
1895, to January, 1900, was S3.196.6e.
The copies were furnished during
the April term, 1900, by special con
tract with Miss Fannie Jones, the ar
engagements being made by Chief JUS
tice Granger.
An investigation of how the present
custom originated shows that ever
since 1870 the West Publishing Co.
business has been a personal matter
with the clerk. The supreme court in
1885 over-ruled an application from
Blank Bros, law book publishers OF
New York, asking that the West Pub:
fishing Co. be denied the right tc
make copies of the opinions.
$l,o4945 has been received by Mr.,
Jones for copies furnished attorneys.
1t is found that former clerks turned
these fees over to the state.
From January, 1895, to the present
time s12 students have been admitted
to the bar and the clerk has accounted
for S4O5. so of the fees. A small mum
Der paid no fee but it is believed they
belonged to the class admitted OF
motion and of whom none was re
quired; $497O was received by tn
clerk for examinations as to whethe;
there were judgements agasnst Gel
tain persons.
The report goes into lengthy
statement regarding the affairs of the
office but is not sensational in charac.
ter. The business with the West Pub
fishing Co., is that of which most has
been said and in it Mr.. Jones is backed
by the precedent of his Office. The re.
port resolves the matter into ques.
ton of law as to whether the clerk
can make personal contracts and the
chief justice of the supreme court evil
IDENTIFY believes he can.
The governor has not yet decided
what action he will take.

THREE HUNDRED MISSING
latest Reports Reveal Extent of the
HObOken Horror.

New YORK, July 3.-Sixty.seven
n,dies of victims OF the Hoboken fire
ave been recovered. Each hour that
paeses witnesses additional recoveries
of bodies, scared, MANNED and burned
beyond all semblance of humanity.
And the half has not yet been told. as
all the bodies brought to the surface
yesterday were caught on graphing
hooks. The list of missing is still
placed at but few below the 300 mark,
and when the bodies begin floating to
the surface the gruesomeness Of the
situation will be realized. The bodies
recovered up to II o'clock last night
include forty-one now in ODonnell's
undertaking establishment and some
in Hoboken; ten in Hoffman's in the
same city; twelve in the morgue in New
York, and four deck hands of the Saale,
which were recovered too late to be
brought to either city. OF these, thir-
ty.seven have been either positively
or partially identified, most of them,
so far as has been discovered, being
victims from the steamship Saale.

French Defense.

There Is a wrongly conceived prejudice In
the minds of many followers of the game in
regard to the study of the openings and
its effect on the game. 1t is wrong to sup
pose that it makes a change In the char
acter of the contest by making 1t one OF
memory instead of skill and watchfulness
AS a matter of fact, it adds to the skill
just as in any trade or profession skill fol-
lows an acquaintance with the principles.
and 1t must be borne in mind that a move
learned in one position may come in very
handy in not the same but an analogous
one. 1t does not follow that because one
invests in one of the many cheap analyses
of the game that 1t has to be savlshly
studied. A favorite opening looked up occa-
sionally. or the defense to the other fell
lows favorite, gives insight. Every little
while move will turn up to which the
player will think say. Il don't know the
answer to that move The moral is on
the surface. AS to the fear of making the
game one of memory. that Is impossible. as
the multiplicity of variations is such that
it is rare that as many as ten moves go on
straight book lines. but 1t Is handy to have
gotten so far soundly. After that you will
have all the chance for skill you want.
Look it up little and keep up with your
favorite enemy If he does also, and If he
don't. get ahead of him.
