mo citizen of the nation rejoices
more than l do at this happy state and
none will do more within his sphere to

task is for the future. We leave the
old century behind us, holding on to
its achievements and cherish it's mem

with opportunities and obligations.
These we must meet, men of the
south, men of the north, with high
purpose and resolution without inter-

solve the problems which confront us
untrammelled by past and wisely and

glorious than the past.
Il am glad to meet with the people
of Memphis and the state of Tonnes

est struggles and sacrifices of our
country and their valor has been con-
spicuous on every battlefield Of the
republic. The commonwealth has lost
none of the zeal and patriotism which
to it in the earlier days the name
of the volunteer state. 1t shows it is
still worthy of that proud designation,
for, even now, its enlistments in the
new army, according to population,
exceed those of any other state in the
Union. Her record in the Spanish
war was a distinguished n l shall
never forget that during the anxious
days of 1899 it was Tennessee sol
diers from the Philippines who with
patriotism led others in re-
for the new regiments
then forming. They encouraged their
comrades and cheered the heart of
the whole country. Nor can l fail to
remember and recall in their presence
and make heartfelt acknowledgement
to the gallant First Tennessee volun-
teers, who, having embarked on the
transports, with their faces turned
and toward those they
loved, voluntarily disembarked and
marching to the relief Of their COM
rades in distress, fought a brave fight
and with them turned defeat into vic

my heart is capable, I give to the men

CUDAHY RECEIVES PROPOSE.
TON FROM K1DNAPERs.
TERMS IMPOSED BY them
Demand That Reward Be With
drawn and Search for
Culprits Cease.

Omaha, April oO.-An unknown per.
son. purporting OF be an agent of the
kidnapers, has made a proposition to
Edward A. Cudahy to return $21, 900
Of the money paid for the ransom of
his son who was abducted December
Is last. 1t demanded in return a with
drawal of the $25. 900 reward and a
cessation of the search that is being
prosecuted, together with an aban-
donment of the determination to pun
ish the criminals.
This proposition came in a letter
from Elgin, ILL.,, and Mr.. Cudahy is
convinced il it's authenticity. He
went to Chicago recently because of
it, being summoned there by his broth
err in response to overtures that had
been made.
Mr.. Cudahy refused to consider the
proposition and declares his un-
changed resolution to prosecute to the
end the men who stole his boy.
81 received a letter about ten days
ago." said MI. Cudahy. 1T was dat
ed April Is, at Elgin, and bore the
Elgin postmark. l turned it over to
the detectives and did not make a
copy. 1t was very brief and recited
that the chief kidnaper had commune
Gated with the writer and was getting
uneasy. 1t set forth that the chase
by the detectives was getting uncom-
fortably close and asked it | would
withdraw the offer of reward now out
standing and let up on the effort to
find the criminals and have $21, 900
of the $4,000 ransom returned to me.
1T seems that the writer got simply
in a hurry, for as 500 as he mailed
the letter he must have stepped right
over to Chicago, where he called on
brother Michael the same day,
which was two weeks ago today. He
asked my brother whether l wanted
to consider a proposition OF that kind.
My brother told him that he did not
know anything about it, but would ask
me to come to Chicago and talk the
matter over, although he did not be-
Ileve-I would consider it.

grom from my brother asking me if
| would come over and l told him l
would be there in the morning. l left
in the afternoon and on reaching Chi
cago learned what had t%ranspired
there. l arrived home on Thursday
and the letter from Elgin was waiting
for me. The letter was signed and
gave directions as to how a reply
should be addressed to reach the
Wrlter.
$50 far as the offer is concerned, it
has been rejected. I refused abso-
lutely and unqualifiedly to consider it
and am determined to prosecute this
search as vigorously as l know how.
mat is what we started out to do and
l feel as il / will follow these men to
the ends of the earth.
II realize that this means SAG, 900
to me and is a sum that is certainly
an object to any man, no matter what
may be his means AS I feel about it

lars rather than compromise with the
criminals. l am DESTROYS of having
them punished for what they have
done and to deter any other daring
gang from compelling otner parents to

An Isolated
va Land

II is interesting to note that the in
habitants of the island Of st. Kilda,
lying off the west coast of Scotland,
only have communications with the
mainland during three months Of the
year, from the beginning Of June to the
end Of August. In these months 1t Is
visited by excursion steamers perhaps
half a dozen times; for the rest Of the
year its inhabitants know as much
about British affairs as do the Eski-
mos of the north. If King Edward
we're to die tomorrow, or London be
burned down, they would learn Of the
events for the first time next June.
But while unable to receive Communi-
cations except during the period men
toned they have quaint seapost.
When they desire to communicate with
the mainland they put their letters,
with coins for postage, into a tin box
or a bottle, which is enclosed in a
roughly-shaped tiny boat, with the
words please open" cut on top, and
a bladder full Of air attached. This
is thrown into the sea at certain tides
and so carried to the Hebridean shores,
or mayhsp TO the coast of Norway.

kilda is the chief, has an area Of 1000
square miles. The climate is mild

BOYS LEAD IN CRIME.
Amazing Statistics Furnished by the
City of Chicago.

Amazing Sththucs Hurnlshed Dy tine
City of Chicago.
The last grand jury doing service in
Chicago expressed itself as appalled, at
the large proportion Of youths from
16 to 21 years Of age among those in
dicted for crime. OF 600 cases investi-
gated, the majority were offenses by
boys or very young men. Hold-ups
were invariably the work of young
fellows, as were most OF the larcenies
and burglariss. What is true Of Chi
cago applies to the rest Of the United
States, according to a statement by
State Attorney Deneen, OF that city
who is a student Of criminology. He
says:
Take a walk through the Cook
county Jail and you will find it well
filled with young men. 1t was even
worse before the Juvenile court was
established, when we had to deal with
boys over 10 and under 16. II / re-
member rightly the criminal stalls
tics Of the United States show that the
majority Of crimes are committed by
persons between the ages Of % and "a,
while tor the whole world the most
prolific cnme-producing period OF life
is between the ages Of Is and %.
Some people still form their ideas
Of the criminal from the lohg-haired,
sinister creature carrying a dark Ian
tern or dirk, which they see on the
stage from time to time. In real life
the average criminal IS generally a
young man who looks a good deal like
the rest OF young men. Crimes are
committed by the young when their
passions are strongest and their judg-
ment is weakest. Some are neurotics,
Others are degenerates. In an infant
there are all the elements OF the Grim.
inal. There develops vanity, cruelty,
truancy, destructiveness, the procliyity
to theft lack of foresight, and all the
traits Of the criminal. Some children
do not grow up criminals because their
natural tendencies are curbed.
'In Chicago and other large cities
bad environment is a powerful agency
in producing young criminals. More
than 80 per cent Of the arrests the
world over of which any record is kept
are of persons who came from the
tenement-house districts of the large
cities. The city reverses the Lords
prayer and leads into temptation and
delivers to evil. Society is gradually
coming to its duty of unmaking the
criminals 1t has made and preventing
others from becoming criminals"

Petersburg While there have doubt
less been innumerable cases of in
justice and brutality, for Russian Of
ficials are corrupt and cruel, and the
Slavs, as a race, have always regarded
human suffering with Indifference,
nevertheless, under ordinary circum-
stances, the majority of those who
have been banished to Siberia are
much better off than they were at
home and ought to consider them
selves fortunate to escape imprison-
ment for a term of years. The cara
vans OF convicts, whose misery and
anguish have aroused so much horror
and indignation in civilized countries
have not usually undergone any great
er hardships than we're borne by the
pioneers who crossed our own prairies
TO Colorado, Montana and California
before the overland railroads were
built. And, upon arriving at their
destinations, unless they were guilty
Of serious crimes, their surroundings
and circumstances were often much
better than those Of the men who
