ing handed him on that date there may
have been some which were addressed to
| me and not to him which contained infor-
nation such as thought he should have.
OF the two dispatches addressed to him. one
| was from Admiral Sampson and the other
from the Navy Department.
| Recurring to his conversation with Ad-
| miral Schley, concerning the coal supply OF
| the fleet on the 9th, Admiral Cotton said
| that Admiral Schley had expressed great
| anxiety on that point. such any COM
| mander would have felt under the circum-
stances.
At this point. Mr.. Rayner referred to the
previous remark concerning coaling in the
open sea on the 9th. He said: II under
stood you to have said that, after reading
dispatches. the Commodore made signals in
quiring the amount of coal. Did you see
the answering signaI?'
II did not responded the witness
"You stated you could have coaled from
the Merrimac on that day. Why didn't you
do so?'
I'm the first place. had no authority to
coal. In the second place. was going aft
er coal, which / could receive within twen-
ty-four hours: and in the third place. coal
was moro needed by the feet than by the
Harvard"
"Did you ask the Commodore for permis-
sion to coal7'
Il old not.
Mr.. Rayner attempted to have Admiral
Cotton say that his conversation with Ad-
miral Schley concerning Lieutenant Bealrs
proposition to go ashore and communicate
with the insurgents had occurred on the
Slst instead Of the 9th of May. The Wit
ness said that this might possibly be the
case. but that to his best recollection the
conversation occurred on the 9th.
Mr.. Rayner explained that Admiral Schley
had on the 3lst sent another man ashore
to communicate with the insurgents. which
would explain Admiral schley's declination
of Lieutenant Bealps proposition. .t
The witness said that up to May "a he did
not know Of the presence OF the Spanish
fleet within the harbor at Santiago. nor did
he know of any other ohicer who had that
information at that time.
On redirect examination, Admiral Cotton
said he was satisfied that he had told Aa-
miraI Schley Of Lieutenant Bealrs PROPOSE
ton on the 9th. because he would have
considered that he was remiss in his duty
il he had pot given the information at the
first opportunity. He had then had before
him the order Of the department to Commo-
dore schley to ascertain the facts concern
ing the presence Of the Spanish fleet in the
harbor.

What DIR. Martin SAYS.

Bclding people are second TO none
in their keen appreciation of a good
entertainment. An opportunity will
be given them next Friday evening to
attend a concert at the Congrega-
tional church, given by Greenville
talent composed of the following sing
ers, Miss Mary Fish, Miss Mable
Chase, Miss Maude Loucks and Miss
Eva Chase. These ladies took lead
ing parts in concert given in Green
vile few weeks since, to full house
Of delighted auditors. Miss Fish,
whose thoroughness i'm whatever she
undertakes, as We'll as her tact in pre-
pairing entertainment that instructs
and delights, needs no introduction to
Belding audience. The young ladies
who are associated with her have
been her pupils in vocal music and
voice culture, and she is justly proud
of them.
Prof. Pease, teacher of music in the
Normal school of Ypsilanti, thanked
her for sending him the voice of Miss
Mabel Chase, which he said was the
best he had ever had sent to him.
Miss Eva Chase and Loucks sing as
though they felt that music was in
tended as a vehicle of emotion and
sentiment and not a purely mechani-
cal performance they "sing with the
spirit and the understanding"
The concert will be spiced with

SPEEDY JUSTICE FOR MURDERER
Czolgosz Convicted and VIII be SEN
fenced To-day To Death I'm
Electric Chair.

Leon +. Czolgosz, alias Niemen, was
found guilty Tuesday of murder in the
first degree by jury in part III. of
the supreme court, in having on the
9Th day of September shot President
William Mckinley, the wounds innict-
ed afterward resulting i'm the death of
the president.
The wheels of justice moved swift
~. The trial of the assassin consum-
ed eight hours and 26 minutes, and
covered a period of only two days.
Practically all of this time was occu-
pied by the prosecution in presenting
a case so clear, so conclusive that
even had the prisoner entered the
plea of insanity, it is doubtful if the
jury would have returned a verdict
different from the one rendered. The
announcement made by the attorneys
for Czolgosz that the eminent alienists
summoned by the Erie County Bar as
sociation, and by the district attor-
ney to examine Czolgosz and to de-
termine his exact mental condition,
had declared him TO be perfectly sane
destroyed the only stage of defense
that Judges Lewis and Titus who
we're appointed by the court to de-
fend him could have put together.
Before adjournment, Justice White
announced he would pronounce sem
tence upon the defendent on Thurs
day afternoon at ? o'clock. The
prisoner was taken through tunnel
under Delaware avenue, back to Jail.
To all appearances he was in no way
affected by the result of the trial.

plan Gives satisfaction.

The present system of putting in
cement walks, adopted by our village
council, cannot be too highly praised,
and at the rate these are being laid
this season it will not be long before
damage suits for defective walks will
be a thing of the past and Mendon will
lead the procession of country vii
lages in fine walks. With the build
ers price cents square foot, and
the village rebate of cents, the total
cost to the owner is only cents
which is fully as cheap, if not cheap
er, than the usual plank walk, and
once down all further expense is al
an end. There can be no unneces
sary burden to the poor of any village
in this way of doing, and thus we say
all honor TO onr council.-Mendor
Leader.
The same plan has been adopted by
a large number of Michigan cite.
and village and if there is a single in
stance where it has failed TO give
satisfaction the BANNER has yet tC
discover it. We believe the plan is
all right and should be adopted by al
| live up-to-date towns.

The Critical Year of Married Life.

"Some folks have way of declar-
ing that the first year of married life
is the most trying" writes Edward
Box in the October Ladies' Home
Journal. "But where one gets close
knowledge of several families the
conviction is brought home that the
trying period lies beyond the first
year. / should fix it rather at the
third year, when the pretty trous-
seau is showing wear and needs re-
plenishing: when the wedding pres
ents have lost their lustre, and this
thing has worn out and that thing has
to be replaced; when little family is
growing up and doctors bills are in
troduced into the family reckoning.
That is the trying period when inter
ests are apt to become very close.
Likewise calculations. Then it is
that the saving of the comparatively
care-free and less expensive first year
of married life comes in handy, or il
sadly missed if the income was then
lived up to in unnecessary buying and
foolish entertaining. A great deal OF
happiness in this world Is wrecked 10y
debt, and generally the debt could
have been avoided If little more
care and common sense had been ex
Cised.u

FINE Entertainments.
Concert Course all selected and
Season Tickets Now
On sale.


The Concert Course Committee an
nounce splendid series for the com.
ing winter. The entertainments fur.
nished by them for the past few years
have certainly been big value for
the money" We have had many
good lectures, and many fine musi-
clans and many hearty laugh too.
This year presents new problem TO
the committee. The seating capacity
of the Opera House has been increas-
ed about 200, and the price of it to
800. The problem is, if the expense
for talent be increased 5000 can
enough extra season tickets be sold to
balance. After asking many ques-
tions and getting various opinions a
course has been contracted for at a
price away above last years price
but not equal to the increase in the
number of seats. This difference can
be met by selling the reserved seats
cheaper, if 600 season tickets are sold.
This year there will be 5 concerts,
, lectures and one evening of magic,
mirth and mimicry. The Hungarian
Court Orchestra of Budapest will be
fully appreciated by all lovers of fine
music. Their selections of Gypsy and
Hungarian music merit unqualified
praise. There are in the company.
They open the course about Nov. 20th.
The Slayton Grand Concert Com
pany will be the musical event of the
year. 1t includes four great artists
The Lyric Ladies of Chicago

pany are all new people except N. l..
Baker who so thoroughly pleased tn e
audience last year. Six in the com
pany.
Slayton's Jubilee Singers have made
several changes since they delighted
last year, the largest audience of the
season. Nine people and everyone
chock full of melody.
William Hawley Smith is known to
many as the author of "The Evolu-
tion of Dodd." His subject will be,
Something Left OVERT has never

York Orator and Author will give
Backbone" He is the highest priced
lecturer ever on the course.
The Durno-Emmett Combination
will amuse the patrons Of the course
even better than they did two years
ago.
In all 38 artists assist in giving
splendid entertainments for 81. The
reserved seats for six numbers will be
sold at 15c-the other two numbers at
10c unless the sale of season tickets
will permit of a still lower price. We
hear some objecting TO there being
reserved seats. When there was no
charge for them a few years ago they
had numbers for a dollar or a dollar
and half-now there are numbers
equally as good or better
Season tickets are on sale now at
w. l. Benedict's. If you can't buy
them now, mention the fact and they
will be saved for you until Nov. 10.

Hotel Detectives Duties.

The duties of a hotel detective are not
arduOus. and his greatest value to the
guests is as a cicerOne. He is sup
posed to know the city thoroughly. to
be an authority on the theatres and to
be able to direct men who want to
gamble to places where they can find
square games" One hotel detective
in New York who was discharged not
long ago was said to have made nearly
$40. 900 a year in tips from guests and
commissions from gambling houses. He
was able TO do the latter many d good
turn, and they showed their apprecia-
ton of his work by paying him liberal
ly. Nominally, he was engaged by the
proprietor of the hotel to preserve or
der, but in reality he was expected to
make himself generally useful 90 Wis
itOrs. He must know where to pilot
parties on stunning expeditions, and
the more weird tales he can tell them
about the places to which he takes
them the larger will be his tips A
detective employed by one Broadway
hotel for many years became quite as
we'll known as the hotel itself He
was an authority on boxing, and the
last word about any big contest was
not said until he chose to express his
opinion He was also the stakeholder
in many big bets.
