WHAT OTIs PRoMIsED.

Rochester, n. Y, June 15-The BAN
quet given to General Otis this evening
at Powers hall brought to n close the
most enthusiastic demonstration ever
witnessed by the people OF Rochester. In
the banquet hall six hundred plates were
laid, but this number WAS Inadequate to
supply the demand. Toastmaster Charles
J. Bissell introduced General Otis who as
he arose to respond, was greeted with
enthusiastic applause with the assemblage
standing while the Marine band played
Hail to the Chief"
Referring to the Philippines the Gem
eral said:
81 have heard great deal about the
Philippines since my return L know as
a fact, however, in spite of all that has
been said, that the Philippines islands are
in the possession Of the United States and
the United States cannot get rid of them
and cannot withdraw. Nor do the oiti-
zens Of America want MS to withdraw
Intelligent men OF the Philippines want
United States protection and government
and to them / have promised protection
from all loss OF life and property and |
know that this country VIII fulfil that
promise"
A despatch from Major General Corbin
was then read expressing regrets at his
enforced absence and stating that the ad-
ministrntion had been most earnest
supporter OF General Otis in the Philip
pines.
Ex-Consul General Williams made COM
plimentary remarks and read letter
from Major General Harrison Gray Otis,
dated San Francisco. The toastmaster
next introduced General Joe Wheeler.
The assemblage rose and cheered vocifer-
oJsly and the band played Dixie" and
Yankee Doodle" It was tSn minutes
before Gen. Wheeler could be heard.
David j. Hill, LII. d., was thu next
speaker. His theme was ,'tOur National
Development
Hon. j. Sloat Fassett spoke on "Ex-
pansion," and Hon. James S. Sherman
on THE Beginning"
Both were enthusiastically received.
The banquet then broke up singing

feet Of the officer. He fell in a heap at
the bottom Of the stairs. Purified carried
him to the street and tore his blazing
garment from him. Burns was blackened
all over by' the fire and appeared TO be de-
llrious. He broke from the policeman and
rushed back into the burning house.
P1rfield re-entered the house and made
his way TO the rear Of the hallway on the
first floor. just as he was about to go
into the yard Marion jumped from the
fifth floor, and fell at the policeman $
feet.
Meantime the ambulance had arrived
and the injured were hurried to the hos
pital. Mamie Cotter died as soon as she
arrived there. Tho dead bodies of the
others were taken I'm patrol wagon to
the Delaney street station house.
IL Is not known whether or not the fire
was of incendiary origin. Captain Brogan
of Engine 10, of the first companies TO ar
rive, said that IN his opinion the fire had
started In the renr of the hallway on the
second floor. The house being of old
fashioned construction offered ready fuel
for the flames.
The doubt as TO the identity of the dead
woman arises from the fact that there Is
no one left Of the Cotter or Marion
families who can identify the body.
The monetary loss caused by the fire Is
estimated at from $500 to $1,000.

REPORT ON THE KEARsARGE.

Washington, June 15.-The report OF
the naval inspection board upon the
final two days sea trial of the Kearsarge
leaves the question of the superimpose
turrets still open. In its report the
board says:
1.-THE four guns in the forward turret
were fired simultaneously at 1000 yards
rage and three of the projectiles appar-
entity fell in the same place. One fell
about 400 yards behind, but in line.
''The four guns of the after turret were
also fired simultaneously and in this
case three projectiles apparently fell in
the same place. One inch projectile
fell to the right. During the tests the
blasts from the inch guns in the super
imposed turrets did not Inconvenience
the people in the IS inch turret."
The automatic one FOUNDERS In the
military tops when fired vibrated and
jumped so as TO make further firing dam

CHAMPION ARRAIGNED.
Pleads Not Guilty To Charge OF
Murder.

Alfred, June 15.--George Champion,
the alleged murderer of the four members
of the family of George Goodwin at West
Newfield June 10, was arraigned in his
cell at the county jail here this morning
Warrants charging the murder of each OF
the four victims were read to him, and he
pleaded not guilty to each, and was then
bound over without bail to await the ac-
tion of the grand jury which sits on the
third Tuesday of September.
Champion slept very well last night
and appeared perfectly composed, almost
defiant, this morning. At 7.45 O'Clock,
Trial Justice Drew, with County At
torney Matthews, Officer Miles and
Sheriff Thompson appeared and prepara-
tions for his arraignment We're made at
once. Champion seemed desirious OF
avoiding, if possible, gaze OF the curious
crowd which he knew would greet him in
the court room, and he asked If he could
not be arraigned in his cell.
This was agreed to and the trial justice,
with the other officials, entered the
goomy cell and concluded the work very
quickly. Hardly ten minutes were occu-
pied in the proceedings Trial Justice
Drew read each OF the warrants to Cham
pion charging the murder OF George
Goodwin, Mrs. Elsie I'll. Horne, Scott
Goodwin and Fred Bersch. Champion
listened with bowed head but in reply TO
the usual question, he answered EN-
phatically mot guilty.
Champion, at the present time, has not
secured lawyer, and it is doubtful il he
will do SO. The inquest upon the death
of the four members of the Goodwin
family will be continued today, and
much interest is manifested by the people
here who have known them for some
years.
1t was learned this morning from the
officials having the case in hand that
Champion displayed two watches, while
he was at Pennington and tried to sell
them. He was unable TO make trade
with anyone there and took the watches
with him TO Boston, where it Is believed
he disposed of them to a pawnbroker.
The officers believe that these watches be-
loneed to Goodwin and Bertsch. The
Boston police have been notified of the
facts and advised to make a search for the
articles,
John Flynn of Pennington, n. H., the
hotel barkeeper who saw Champion on
Monday and who designated a place
where the man might change Nhis blood
stained shirt for a new one, arrived here
this morning and positively identified the
prisoner. Flynn Is the man to whom
Champion accounted for the condition Of
the old shirt by saying: II sometimes
have the noseblsed.n p Flynn says he
helped Champion put the buttons on the

COrOHer'S Jury Charges Him With
KeWfield Murder.
He Pleaded Not Guilty
When Arraigned.
Many Conflicting Stories Told BY
The Prisoner.

West Newfleld, June 15.-The coroner's
jury in the Goodwin murder case brought
in its verdict tonight on the deaths Of all
four of the murdered persons-George W.
Goodwin, Scott G.. Goodwin, Fred
Bertsoh and Mrs. Elsie N. Horne--as fol-
lows,
''That they came to their death by
violence at the hands of George Champion
and by instruments and weapons to the
jury unknown"
Inspector McCausland was the only
witness before the jury today and he
testified that Champion said that he
went to Goodwin's at 4 p. M, Thursday,
June 7, and stopped there until Sunday
night at nine o'clock. when he left. Wit
ness said Champion stated that Goodwin
and Mrs. Horne were there but that Scott
Goodwin and Bertsch were away and had
not returned when he left. Witness
further said Champion at first declared
that he had walked to Union, arriving
there at a. M, Monday, and then took
a train at a. m, for Boston, arriving at
the later place about one p. m, but that
Champion later, when questioned by Nc
Causland, acknowledged that he had rid
den in q team from Union to Pennington
and that his previous statement was false.
Champion had also told witness that
when he reached Boston he went to Par
ker street and spent the night there with
his wife, then went the next day to Mil
ford.
The authorities believe tonight that
Champion is likely TO weaken and make
a confession before long as he appears un-
able to stand the strain of his condition
much longer.
The girl who found the pocketbook for
merly owned by Goodwin WAS Hattie o.
Weeks, daughter of Nathan o. Weeks.

state had taken it in ths course of con-

NERVOUS ss.

Eye-strain in most cases is really
nerve-strain. If the eyes are out of
focus or compelled to work unnatu-
rally, there is loss of nervous ener-
gy in keeping them adjusted. There
is no organ in the human body that
requires such accurate adjustments
OF such delicate precision. TO have
imperfeotly focused eyes means to
rob the whole system OF nervous
force. The result is nervousness.
There are many people who are ner-
vous and cross and irritable from no
other cause. They may be naturally
even tempered but the constant strain
is more than the nerves can bear.
