DEATHOF AN ATHLETE
From Exercising on a Full
Stomach.

From the evidence given on
Tuesday last at an inquest held by
DR.. Brooke, Oxford University
CO, o,oner, on the body of Mr.. Yer
non Francis Drew of Merton Col
lege, 1t appeared that the fatality
occurred on the previous day while
the deceased, who was training
for running and high jumping,
was taking exercise on the uni
versity track and it was shown
that he had not long previously
taken hearty meal aud the medi-
cal testimony sufficiently proved
the sad occurrence TO be the re-
suit of violent exercise upon dis
tended stomach. How near athletes
sometimes come to catastrophe
through exerting themselves to the
full extent Of their powers when
bodily unfit. say through partak-
ing freely of food, they probably
never know.-London Field.

Those who think the Standard
Oil Company cannot close up the
Beaumont oil wells, or any other
OIL wells for that matter, UNDER
estimate the power of that mighty
institution. 1t has taken out .
charter to do business at Beau
mont, and that settles it. If they
want the wells stopped they will
gush 10 more, and if they don't
want them stopped they will gush
for the Standard Oil Company and
nobody else. Ii some foolhearty
citizen concludes to make a we'll of
his own, let him 80 ahead and do
IT; but when he tries to sell his oil,
he will find that the octopus Is not
patronizing Beaumont simply as a
health resort. Beaumont invited
the Standard Oil Company to come
in and help them handle oil, and
1t will be handled. Once an inno-
cent lamb invited lion 10 come
over the fence and help eat the
delicious clover, and the lion picked
the wool from his teeth with his
claws. The moral to this fable
is, ''When you have a good thing

AD1sTINGUIsHED MISSIONARY

Washington, Ind, Sept. 23rd.-There
is at present living at LOG E. 18th street,
in this city, a most remarkable man.
He is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he
came to Washington from Little York,
Ind, short time ago.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson spent many
years of his long and useful life as a
missionary among the Indians of the
West. The great exposure and the
drinking of so much bad water
brought on Diabetes, and at Wagner
Indian Territory, he was struck down
while preaching.
Physicians, one of them q Chicago
specialist, pronounced his case hope
less. Dodd's Kidney Pills were recon,
mended, and as last resort he tried
them. He was completely cured, and
restored to good health and his case
and its cure has caused a sensation
among the physicians.

EMMA GOLDMAN PRESENT.
The Anarchist Lecturer Compelled to At
tend the Memorial Services at the
Jail in Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Emma Goldman
attended memorial services held in
honor of the memory of President
Mckinley yesterday. 1t was not Of
her own volition that she was pres
emit at the demonstration of sorrow,
and the course she followed during
the services appeared to show lack
OF sympathy with the spirit of the
occasion. The ceremonies at which
Miss Goldman was present were held
IN the women's ward of the county
jail. Rev. III. L. Larrabee, of the
Church of the Ascension, conducted
the services and 200 prisoners partici-
pated in them. Many of the prison
ers manifested great grief as the
services proceeded.
Miss Goldman alone remained I'M
moved. When the hymn Nearer, My
God, to Thee" was sung by the pris-
oners, the woman whom Czolgosz
claims as his teacher turned her
back upon the preacher and the per-
sons who Joined in the singing, and
seemed intent upon perusing the
pages of a book which she carried
with her and continually reads.
The local anarchists who are being
held on the charge of completely in
the presidents assassination were of
fered an opportunity to participate
IN the memorial exercises in the Jail,
but all refused.

Fren Mutten to M.n.x.

There is, or rather was, years ago in this
city, gentleman who did thriving busi-
ness in mutton in the market district. and
was well known to hundreds of people as a
bright and original sort of man. Another
man, who had not seen him for nearly 20
inquiries as to his health asked If he was
in the same business.
"Oh, no." was the reply. T'm presiding
now"
The man who was inquiring about him was
really phased by this answer, and remarked
that he presumed it was his ignorance, but
he must admit he derived no idea of his
business from the statement that the for.
mer market man was presiding"

: Washington, Sept. 21.-After sus-
pension of two days as a mark of re-
p,ect to the dead president the bust
prss of The government at Washing
&C. was resumed at nine a. IN. FRI
day. The train bearing President
x, 'osevelt and the members of his
eabinet arrived at the Pennsylvania
station ut 9:2O O'Clock and Is min
sltes later the president entered the
white house and proceeded to the
eabinet room where President McKin-
ley was wont to do the greater part
Df his work. When the new chief ex
ecutive reached the white house he
walked briskly to the big front door
which swung wide open to receive
passed TO the Waterman and other
employees of the mansion.
At IL o'clock all the members of
The cabinet had arrived at the white
house and soon were seated around
The familiar table. President Roose-
welt occupied a seat at it's head and
In the chair long occupied by his
predecessor. 1t all seemed strange to
these devoted advisers of the dead
president to sit at the table without
him at its head, and the gloom and
solemnity which characterized the
meeting was not unbefitting the occa-
sion. Nearly all of the members of
the present cabinet are quite sure
70 remain during Mr.. Roosevelt's
term, but it is very probable that Sec
rotary Long will retire within the
next few months. He feels that he
can resign without embarrassment
to Mr.. Roosevelt and therefore it is
thought that within the next few
months he will ask the president to
let him retire.
After the cabinet meeting the pres.
ident, Secretary Root and Gen. Leon
ard Wood, governor general of Cuba,
had a long conference at the white
house. The discussion related to
Cuban affairs, more particularly to
the new electoral law adopted by the
Cuban constitutional convention. 1t
Is believed that recommendation
made by the United States govern
ment will be received favorably by
Iuc NuDduS.
President Roosevelt's administra-
ton will start out with a settlement
of the Nicaragua canal question if
present indications can be relied
upon. Positive information has been
received to the effect that the deci-
sion of Secretary Hay to remain in
the cabinet was reached because of
the fact that a complete basis of
agreement has been reached and the
outline of treaty already agreed
upon between the United States AMI
Great Britain. The agreement which
has been reached contains a provi-
sion, it is said, practically eliminat-
ing the old Clayton-Bulwer treaty
and allowing the canal question to
be settled separately. The guarantee
of neutrality, it is believed, is to
cover all cases in which the United
States is not party to actual war
fare. In such case the United States
agrees not to close the canal except
as war measure for it's own protec-
ton. In all other cases the canal is
to remain absolutely neutral. even
when Great Britain is a party to a
war with some other nation.

Washington, Sept. 21.-After an in
PERMISSION of eight days the Schley
naval court of inquiry resumed its
sittings at IL o'clock Friday in the
tool shops at the navy yard. Rear
Admiral Ramsay occupied the seat

was introduced as the first witness.
Before he began to give his testimony
Judge Advocate Lemley read the or
der placing the command of the North
Atlantic squadron in the hands of
Capt Sampson and giving him the
rank of rear admiral, and then Com
mOdors Schley command of the flying
squadron. Admiral Higginson said he
was now in command of the North At
!antic squadron: that he had, as cap
tain, commanded the battleship Mas
sachusetts during the Spanish war
and that for a part of the time the
the flying squadron" of which Ad-
miral Schley had been in command.
He told of joining the fleet at New
port News; of going to Key West and
then. on the 22d day of May. going
to Cienfuegos. Cuba. Key West had
been left on May 10. 1898. and Glen
iuegos reached on the god.
In reply to a question by the court
Admiral Higginson said he did not
believe that Commodore Schley had
done all that he should have done

At anchor. The defense objected
Admiral Dewey said the court con-
sidered itself obliged to get at all the
facts Judge Wilson for Admiral
Schley said he would reserve the right
to later take exception to requests
put by the court.
The witness also told of the fleet
leaving Santiago for Key West on the
night of its arrival at the former
place and of how after steaming west
ward for some time the vessels all,
in response to Commodore Schley's
signals returned and steamed to
within two or three miles of the
mou-.l of the harbor. 'What hap
pened to cause the decision to re-
turn to Key West?" the witness was
asked. Il don't know" was the re-
ply.
Speaking of the conditions when
Santiago harbor was again reached
the admiral said that he could see
well into the harbor and that he saw
the Spanish shin Colon lying in the
outer harbor. He did not remember
seeing other vessels but the Colon was
then 1000 yards beyond Moro cas-
tie. The vessel had lain there uni
she was fired upon, which was dune
