Why a Minister Gave Up PreachinE.
A minister had his salary cut down

prominent women in the congregation.
The reason was given openly, and the
matter found it's way into public print,
The fact that the wife's wealthy aunt
was the donor seemed to be Of no con.
sequence, and the poor woman herself,
irritated and mortified at the publicity
given to her private affairs, succeeded
in persuading her husband to with,

DEWEY CLAIMS PRIZE MONEY
Contention of Admiral Contested in
Court of Claims

Washington. January 9-The claim OF
Admiral Dewey and the officers and men
Of his squadron for the head money
arising out of the destruction OF Monte
JOS fleet I'm Manila bay. was argued before
court OF claims today. The contention Of
the claimants was that the force of the
enemy was superior at Manila bay. also
that the land batteries and submarine
mines should be considered IN defining the
question.
Assistant Attorney General Pradt ar
gued against the claim for $500 head
money" taking the ground that the stat
ute expressly stipulated vessels" and
contained nothing as to land batteries"
Mr. King. who opened for the claimants.
I'll Ist explained how the amount of the
bounty upon the eight destroyed vessels
were calculated. The report OF Admiral
MOntejo showed that when he went to
Subig bay. Just prior 10 the battle. he had
aboard five ships 1875 men. whose reg
ular complement was by the official rec
Ords 939.
lie then quoted Admiral Dewey's opIn-
ION that the force of the enemy in the
engagement was superior. There were four
eIcmentS-the torpedo boats. the warShips,
the shore batteries and the submarine
nires. Each of these elements was
menace to the success of Dewey'S fleet and
as such should be counted in passing on
the rights of the claimants.
Assistant Attorney General Eradt. in his
argument for the government, based II
entirely on the ground that the statute
expressly stipulated vessels and CON
tained nothing as to "land batteries IN
offering bounties to our navy for destruc-
tion of the enemy I'm battle.
