mutation

New York, May Samuel c. Seely,
who was convicted on the charge Of
appropriating 1854 900 from the Ma
tional Shoe and Leather bank six years
ago, walked out of Kings county peni-
tentiary a free man today. For five
years and four months Seely has been
serving the sentence imposed for his
crime He was sentenced to eight
years, but he has been such a model
prisoner that commutation allowed for
good conduct reduced the term by two
years and eight months. Seely claims
that he will face the world entirely
penniless. He AYERS that he has not a
cent of TIE money taken from the bank.
For the first four years of Seely's
imprisonment his wife was devoted to
him. She visited him twice a week,
and sought in every way to ameliorate
HIS punishment. Two years ago, how
ever. she discovered that her husband
had spent a portion OF the money he
had taken from the bank on another
woman. This lee to cessation Of her
visits, and she at once secured a di-
vorce. Not long since she was mar
ried to John w. Fowler, a wealthy
manufacturer. with whom she now
lives at Seely's old home. Seely's 12-
year-old son lives with her and bears
her maiden name, Bennert He has
never seen his father since the convic-
tion, as 1t was Seely's own request that
the boy should never see him in con-
Yict stripes.

PARTY WILL WIN
SAYS MR. BROWNE
Presented Fine Portrait Of
the President to East
Side Republicans

Hugh C. Browne last night presented
a handsome portrait OF President VIII
liam Mckinley TO the East Side Re
publican Association. In so doing Mr..
Browne made a speech, which was
timely, and which briefly outlined the
course the Regular Republican party
will pursue during the coming cam
paign.
Many members of the association
were in attendance. The meeting was
presided over by George w. Byron.
president of the association, who also
received the portrait.
In his address the postmaster said:
This is going to be the most impor-
tant election ever held in this state,
and l venture the prediction that the
Republican party is going TO win this
election. l know / have been accused
Of being enc of the obstructionists. ]
want to say to you ] do not expect to
be in any official political position in
this campaign. but as one man, and as
one Republican, | expect to use every
effort and every bit OF pressure / can
bring TO bear to get a single ticket, for
which every man opposed TO Demo-
NA4NAA AAAA AAtAA NONCs EhlN uluu MIlO
stands up TO prevent a single ticket
will go down into Oblivion.
Il am not here to discuss methods
and means by which we will get a sin
gle ticket. but | believe before election
comes that all Republicans will use
their efforts consistent with honor and
integrity to bring about a single ticket,
and pledge my support, weak as / am,
to try TO bring this about"
we want to see Republican success
in the State of Delaware. We want TO
see all the officers of the state Repub-
lican. We want to see the Court House
filed with Republican officeholders.
Let us put our shoulders to the wheel
and see that out of this mass of trouble
we have had for the past years. we can
evolve a ticket for which all Republi-
cans can vote consistently with honor
and integrity. There are no Republi-
cans in all this nation who deserve
more credit than the Republicans OF
Delaware. We did not have the shot
gun OF Kentucky, but we had the
abominable and iniquitous assessment
and collection law for twenty years
But the new Constitution has cleared
the atmosphere to some extent. be
lieye a single Republican ticket can be
had with honor to us all. and ! hope
this will be done; and If anybody will
show TO me and to you how 1t is to be
am sure we will combine to do It,"
Mr.. Browne scored Delaware Demo-
Gratis for clamoring against trusts when
every Democrat in the Legislature OF
1899 voted for the Incorporation Act,
which licenses trusts, and which was
opposed by Democratic governor. He
also lauded President William McKin-
ley and upheld his Philippine policy,
remarking that If this nation had turn
ed the islands over to the natives or to
some other nation America would have
been ridiculed by the world.

gave him no favorable answer. Assess
ment on the railroads passing through
the city was reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000 a mile. Other reductions were
made on the properties of the telegraph
and telephone companies. but as the
result had not been entered on the
books and the totals made, the board
could not give definite figures on the
properties.
It is said, however. that the reduc-
ton in the assessment means a falling

the first OF which the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey were seated, within handshak-
ing distance of those upon the dancing
floor Upon the second platform were
seated Mayor and Mrs. Harrison. Be
hind the admiral's box was hung a
mammoth admiral's flag, bearing the
four white stars of his rank. A can
opy resplendent with gold braid hung
over each box to protect those within
from the glare of the many lights
which shone from the ceiling and sides
of the hall. AT each of the two en-
frances to each box stood at "atten-
tion" two sailors from the first ships
crew Of the Illinois naval militia
The doors ofthe ballroom were OPEN
ed at $50, and half an hour later the
reception committee. headed by Mayor
Harrison and Mrs. Arthur Cation. en-
tered and took their stand at the north
end of the hall. there awaiting the dis
tinguished guests.
As soon as the reception committee
had taken position Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey entered, followed by a throng
of less distinguished guests. Immedi-
ately behind the admiral came with
their wives. the naval officers on duty
in Chicago and the officers OF the
United States steamer Michigan. Be
hind the navy came the army, headed
by Maj. Gen. James f. Wade and Mrs.
Wade. Officers of the signal service
followed and behind came Brig. Gen.
Charles Fitzsimmons, commanding the
First brigade Of the Illinois National
Guard, and Mrs. Fitzsimmons.
The admiral and Mrs. Dewey, after
they had exchanged greetings with the
members of the reception committee.

which he would set up near Waukegan,
Wis. He also had engaged 20 experts
In lace making. He was informed that
the contract labor laws Of the United

OF workmen to be employed in an in

Chicago, May 1.-Never in the his
tory OF the great Auditorium has there
been within it's walls a sight more
beautiful than that revealed last night
when the great ball given in honor Of
Admiral Dewey was at its height
There was nothing wanting IL was a
decisive success from first TO last in all
details, from the decorations on the
walls to the reception proper which
was rendered to the admiral. There
were present. perhaps, somewhat too
many people to allow dancing in COM
fort, had all or half of them cared to
dance at one ana the same time, but
when the dance program proper was
fairly under way the older people
sought the boxes and the spacious
foyer leaving the floor to the younger
people, who used it until daybreak.
Fully 1000 people were present. It
being a naval ball. the predominating
decorations were white and green. A
canopy was drawn over the hail. max
ing il resemble a huge white capped
wave. the deep green at the bottom
shading softly into the purest white at
the topmost edge At intervals around
the tiers of the boxes were placed white
galleons, which seemingly started from
the mist of bunting, and delicate hued
electric lights which concealed them a
few feet from the prov, where dolphins
rose from the imaginary sea below.
Above each galleon rose a towering
mast, bearing in relief a lions head.
and fiuttering with the signal flags OF
the navy. Behind the fgurehead OF
each galleon stood a sailor, a veteran
Of the Spanish h-American war, who
saw active service in the Caribbean
sea. Until after the admiral left the
hall these men stood steadily peering
out over the prov of the fanciful and
beautiful ship. Long festoons Of cleo
trio lights, marked alternately by yell
low lanterns and japanese lanterns Of
many shades, hung from top 10 top OK
