RAPIDLY PASSING AWAY.
Mortality of the Grand Army Members
Reaches 1000 a Month.

Philadelphia, Feb. AT the rate
OF 1000 month the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic are be-
ing carried to their graves, and every
post in the country has held it's flag
at halfmast during the year just end
cd. Statistics just compiled show
that the death rate has recently in
creased at an alarming rate. Only ten
years ago the Grand Army was all
that it's name implies. 1t numbered
4OO.4S9 men at roll call. Today the
roster shows only 276,662 names and
the list numbers thousands of help
less old men who have attended their
last encampment.
All plans for the perpetuation of
the Grand Army have been abandon
ed" said Adjutant General Robert B.
Wallace today, when discussing the
future of the organization. Some
of the veterans may be here twenty
years from now, but not many. In the
department of Pennsylvania we num-
bered 46,511 in 1890, but today the
records show only 2S,S1S left. The
death rate will increase from year to
year until finally only handful Of
men will be left
THE mortality has increased at
slow rate from year to year until it
has now reached the rate of about
1000 month throughout the coun-
try. The total membership is now
276,662. More members of the organi-
cation died in Illinois during the past
year than ever before in the history
of that department, 720 being the
number of deaths, being over per
cent of the membership. A number
of posts, reduced to below seven
members, have been compelled to

A. Hadley, physical director of the
Y. M. c.. A, fought this afternoon
over the merits of Mrs. Nation. A
negro named jackson was in crowd
reading the bulletins in front of a
newspaper Office. He said he wished
Mrs. Nation had been killed. Hadley
Immediately resented it and soon a
fight was in progress. The negro
was large and heavy and Hadley is {,
small man. He is quick and wiry,
however and was Furnishing the negro
badly, when policeman arrested
both the fighters.
Numerous fights took place over the
same topic. Kansas avenue, the
principal street of the city, has been
lined all day with excited little groups
discussing the situation and more than
one blow was struck.
Mrs. Nation addressed her recruits
and sympathizers at the Christian

tion violates no law when she smashes
property that is being used for unlaw
full purposes, and by legalizing he1
methods by passing his bill the work
of driving out joints would be greatly
facilitated.

Youtsey was sentenced by Judge
Cantrill this afternoon and tomorrow
will be taken to Franfort to enter

Youtsey was pale and weak when

signing her husband to the peniten.
tiary for life, but bore up under the
ordeal bravely.
Briefly Judge Cantrll outlined the
progress Of the case ssom the time Of
the indictment until the returning of
the verdict.
Now" continued the Judge, "have
you any reason to give why sentence
should not be pronounced upon you
Youtsey shifted his position slight
ly and cleared his tnroat One hand
clutched the lapel of his coat, the
other rested on the table. The court
room was perfectly quiet In low
but audible tone, Youtsey spoke these
words: Il have nothing 10 say ex
cept l am innocent and that my con
viction was accomplished only by base
and infamous subornation of perjury
Then he quietly sat down. For a
moment no one spoke.
THAT was subject which you
should have addressed to the jury
which convicted you" answered the
judge. 1T is the Judgment of this
court that you be removed by the
Sheriff of Scott county to the state
penitentiary at Fran.,fort and there
be confined at hard labor for the per

do. 1t is rather difficult to bone
math' and whip four upper classmcn
day. Sullivan's name is one which
will long be a consoling remembrance
among the fourth-class men at the
academy. for though the days of fight
ing are over the class feeling is very
strong at the Point and it is always a
consolation to plebes to be able to
tell tales of the physical prowess of
another plebe, even though he has
fallen from the ranks. Many Off.
GERS now in the service also are proud
of the fighting ability of John Patrick
Sullivan.
Plebe Sullivan was tail. muscular
and we'll built. with not an ounce of
useless flesh on him. Every movement
of his body denoted strength and agil-
ity, and those who felt the grip of his
big hands thought their fingers ha 1
been in the jaws of a vice.
When he had his first fight no par-
ticular attention was paid to the af-
fair, as the average plebe does not
know much about fighting and it was
taken for granted that the yearling
who had called him out would get the
better of the battle. But Sullivan re-
turned to camp without scratch.
while the yearling with the help Of
several of his classmates went to tha
hospital for rest. recuperation and re-
pairs. Then it was that the yearling
class got together and began to call
out the rapid plebe." one after the
other. 1t was necessary, according q
the code. to take the plebe's conceit
out of him. and so the series of fights
began which resulted 50 disastrouslv
10 the upper class men, After he had
whipped every man of his weight in
the yearlng class, it was decided at
class meeting that he should be let
alone. 1t was then that the first
class took a hand with no better re-
suits than the yearlings. But alas.
Sullivan could not get away with
mathematics as easily as he could
with "scrapping" cadets and his ca.
reer at the Point was brief, though
never dull. 1t would be interesting
to know what his subsequent career
as a civilian has been.

Inhabitants of Two Provinces Are At

ed to them yesterday by the Chinese
peace plenipotentiaries, which pleads
especially for the life of Tung FIJI
Sim, commander-in-chief of the Chin

for the petition is the turbulent con-

might rise and commit acts of vio-
lence against the missionaries and ma
tive Christians which the court would
greatly deplore.
