HACKETT TURNED DOWN.
Cabinet Refuses to Interfere in
 Schley Court of Inquiry

The Acting Secretary Wanted One of
 Attorney General Knox's Assistants
 Appointed to Assist Captain Lemly
 Cabinet Thinks It Naval Matter
 In Which the Government Is Not
 Directly Interested.
 Buffalo, Sept 9.-Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett has been pressing Attorney General Knox both by wire and letter to appoint one of the aS- sistant attorney generals to assist Cap tain Lemly, the judge advocate of the Schtey court of inquiry in the conduct of the case before the court. But the attorney general has declined to take a step which he believes would look like the government prosecution of tie officer on trial
 The government, in his opinion, should have noN part in the trial It is an inquiry under the navy department made at the direction of Admiral Schley, and the government has noth- ing to doEWith it.
 The attorney-general was sustained in his position by al the members of the cabinet whom he consulted. The whole question was gone over careful 1y at meeting held in the Glenny house adjoining the Ailburn residence yesterday. Attorney-G General Knox wired his decision to Acting Secretary Hackett yesterday
 The members of the cabinet have no knowledge of any suggestion of post po11ing the Schley court.

MAY POSTPONE scHLEY INQUIRY

Washington, Sept 9.-There is req son to believe that as long as the con dition of the president remains so serious the Schley court of inquiry will not be carried forward. The court has not met for organization as yet, so there is no way of preventing the first meeting. It probably will be held as announced on next Thursday morning. Admiral Dewey will preside, and it is probable an opportunity will be allow ed to the counsel for Admiral Schley to make the challenge of Admiral How ison. There is reason to believe that after this challenge is made Admiral Dewey will announce the condition of the chief executive and adjourn the court indefinitely

From a Palmists, Diary.

M. Desbarrolles, the famous French palmist, in his diary states that he vis- ited a nobleman, in both of whose hands he observed that the line of life was broken. He tod him he might ex- pect fatal illness in four years from that date. He advised him, however, to be very careful in his manner of liv7 ing, and held out to him some hope that by this means his life might be prolonged. Fortunately the count ac- cepted the warning, and from that time took excessive care of his health, iudiciously regulating his diet and ac- tions, and he was surprised that with in year very faint line appeared connecting the severed one, and in four years the line rejeining the vital one was fully developed. He had an ill- ness at the time predicted, but got over kt.-South African Magazine,

CHESSON'S CANE
Made By a Convict in Canon City,
 Colorado.
IT IS OF UNIQUE DEsIGN-

Made by Convict After Seeing Ring
 Co Advertisement of Napkin Holder
 The Convict Wrote to the Com
 pany Offering to Sell It at Low Fig
 ure Wanted Proceeds to Buy
 Clothes When He is Paroled.
 Some time ago the mail brought an unique communication to the Amerl- can Ring Co in the form of a letter from a convict named Arthur smith at Canon City, Col The writer stated that he had noticed the company's ad- versisement ill a magazine and had succeeded i'll working a fac-simile of it on paper cane in waterproof India ink. The cuts in the advertisement showed front and back views of boy with safety napkin holder. It was catchy little affair, and it is no wonder that it caught the eye of the convict in the solitude of his cc-.. The puPose of the letter was to find out if the con- cern would buy the cane, the writer stating that he should be pleased to accept anything the company might de eide to remit, as it would be of assist ance to him in obtaining his liberty on parole, adding that there is parole law i'll that state, but that i'll order to take advantage of it prisoners must furnish their own clothes and trans portation charges before they become eligible.
 Superintendent F. W. Chesson an swered the communication and re- quested Smith to put a price on the cane. He replied enclosing an item- iZed statement of the cost, as follows Steel rod, 9 cents; horn head, ID cents. 6 magazines, p cents; picture by prison artist, B cents; labor at 10 cents per day for IS days, $1.S0; ex- press, 30 cents, total, $3.uP. In clos ing he said:
 s.There are on an average of 340 pieces of magazine paper to the circle or close onto 11,000 pieces of paper in the whole cane.
 s.I had very poor tools to work with, small pieces of glass, wornout sand and emery paper. I did my work on it during noon hours and evenings i'll my cell If you were to inspect the cane I am sure you would be pleased with it. as you would have the article before you and could judge for your self. but seeing that you want me to SoL d price upoH II sl "Aii ui'' v N for S3. which am sure is within rea- son. I assure you that the cane will last for many years and still retain it's present shape. Should you wish to have me forward same please notify me. so that I may be able to express it on September ?.
 The deal was effected and MT Ches- son is now in possession of the cane and tha convict has his money The caRe is a beauty and it's owner should pIare it on exhibition, so that the pub- lie may have an opportunity to see it.

Loeosnotl, :. Ase clumsy.

There seems to be no present help for it, but the existent style of loco motive is at best clumsy mechanism. The crank principle must be done away with before 100 miles an hour can be reached for long journeys. Rowing is stupid sport, because the recovery retards the progress of the boat. The forward motion is accom- panied by a series of jerks. In an eight-oared boat the blades should not enter and leave the water at the same time, but should work in alterna- ton. The forward motion of the crank helps the engine, while the bac,x- ward motion retards it, and between the two the mechanism is gradually shaken to pieces. By sacrificing strength to speed rotary engine might be built that would make 100 miles an hour at all distances. The high speed of electric motors is de- rived from the rotary principle.-N. Y.

Since the above article was written and before the undertaken had chance to inter the body, the New York telephone people notified MT Null vile that there was a man in their office at that time who was coming to Waterbury tonight to identify the re- mains. About the time the dispatch was received q woman who gave her name as Mrs E. H. Powell called and after looking at the dead man, declared that he was her brother-in-law and that his name was Frank McMorrow. She said his wife was working in the Novelty shop. A messenger was sent for the woman, but when she looked at the body she said it was not that of her husband, while her sister, Mrs Powell, insisted that it was. Other ev- idence came later through Officer Moore, who said that the mans valise was at the Naugatuck station, where he had left it on his arrival here last Thursday. When this was opened it contained little of almost everything. There were several pay envelopes marked Costello. Az which showed that the man told the truth when he said his name was Augustine A. Costel- To. The same name was also found on three or four registered letters which he had sent to parties in Elizabeth. N. J., and to the address in New York where he told the police he lived. On the corner of a scrap of paper appeared the following written in pencil: T am yours truly. Augustine A. Costello" The evidence regarding his identity during the latter portion of the after noon was sufficient to warrant the postponement of the funeral. so that although every preparation has been made for the event nothing will be done in that direction until the New York parties have been heard from again.
