tury, the Duke of San Donate, has dis appeared. The Neapolitans, to whom he was a sort of perennial Father Christ mas, called him simply 70 Duca," and regarded him with unbounded affection. He was an aristocrat of the kind thai delights in providing amusement for the people, and in spite of his failings, was so transparently kind hearted that even his political enemies scarcely bore him i'll will
 Though born in the ruling class, he was intelligent enough to understand that ths case of the Bourbons was hopeless and as early as 1647 became conspirator and on that account received .the attentions anything but .delicate-of the Bourbon police. From lS4S to 1860 he was exiled from Naples, and. after livng for some months at Genoa he went to Paris and became collaborator of Emile Girardin. From Paris he was expelled at the mo- ment of the coup detat and went to Eng land, whence he returned to Piedmont
 With his pen and as a conspirator he worked for the national cause, some of his pamphlets being used by Lord Pal merston in his philippics against the Neapolitan government In 1859 he en- tered the army as a major, and after Garibaldis expeG.ton to Sicily in 1860 he hastened to Naples to help the Dictator. ht OHiy Oilce ile WOulu accept, now ever, was that of Superintendent of Thea tres, because no stipend was attached to the post His opposition to the Camor- ra led to an attempt on his life, but he recoverd and entered Parliament as depu- ty for San Sarlo all'Arena, but his &C., tivity was principally confined to Naples, r where, supported by the frendship of Victor Emmanuel II, he played a great part as Mayor, President of the Pro- vincial Council, and President of the Bank of Naples.
 By degrees his popularity gained for him an enormous following or people, who expected him to reuress all their grievances, and though his administra- ton of the city was not quite free from the malpractices to which Senator Sare- do alludes in h-s deport, no one ever be- lived 70 Duca" to have put public money into his own pocket.

COURT OF INQUIRY

Washington, July 25.-Secre-
tary Long announced this MORN
ing that he had selected Admiral
Dewey and Rear Admiral Kimber-
ly and Benham as members of
the Schley court of inquiry. The
precept to the court has been
published. 1t was prepared by
the Judge Advocate of the Navy,
and who has also been appointed
Judge Advocate of the court. The
precept covers the entire contro-
versy regarding Admiral Schley
during the West Indian Naval
Campaign of 1898.
Secretary long says that the
proceedings will be open and the
widest latitude permitted in the
matter of witnesses, Rear Admir-
al Schley to be represented by
counsel. The secretary said that
none of the officers of the court
chosen had, so far as he knew,
expressed an opinion concerning
the Sampson-Schley controversy,
and it was therefore to be pre-
sumed that they would enter up
on their work in an unprejudiced
spirit.

PORTO RICO.

Today In Accordance With
the Foraker Act.

Washington, July 25.-The
president issued a proclamation
blishing free trade between
Porto Rico and the United States

The proclamation is purely formal
and only in the body of the resolu-
tions, adopted by the Porto Rico
Legislature, (heretofore published)
does it appear the island is set
free commercially today, in COM
memoration of the anniversary of
of the planting of the American
flag on that island. The procla-
nation is headed "Cessation of
Tariff Porto Rico"
It recites that the act of April
II, 1900, (otherwise known as the
Foraker aCt) provided whenever
the Porto Rican legislature en-
acted and put into operation a
system of local taxation to meet
the needs of the government and
by resolution so notified the presi-
dent, the latter shall issue a pro-
ClamatiOn and all duties on goods
passing between the United
States and Porto Rico shall cease.
AS the Legislature has complied
with that requirement of the act
in terms set out in the resolutions
quoted in full in the body of the
proClamat ton, that document says:
Therefore, | William Mckinley,
president of the United States, in
pursuance of the provisions of
the laws above quoted and upon
the foregoing due notification, do
hereby issue this, my proclama-
ton, and do declare and make
known that the civil government
for Porto Rico has been organic
ed in accordance with the provi-
sions of said act of congress.

Decrease in Consumption.

Western physician has just called
attention to the rapid decrease of
consumption the world over. He
ascribes this to better living, greater
cleanliness, new understanding of
the need of ventilation, sanitary APP
planes and longer vacations in the
pure air of the country. And this is
easy to believe. The laborer lives
better now than did the mechanic of
forty years ago, and the mechanic as
we'll as the professional man of that
time. The means afforded in the
modern house for keeping clean
and warm and comfortable, the in
creasing leisure, the multiplying of
amusements, especially of out door
games and sports, the Importation
from other countries of foods, insur-
ing greater variety on our tables, the
great increase in the materia medica
and in the range of surgery, the new
achievements in preventative the
rapy, the measures taken by States
and cities for betterment of factories
and tenements, the publication of
water supply, the cleaning of streets,
and the like, all tend to lengthen life
and make it better worth living. The
good old times were not always good,
and if one of the most dreaded of all
diseases shall yield itself to the assaults
of silence, the new times will be the
best of ll.-Brooklyn Eagle.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Those who had calculated upon
making democratic political capital
out of the Schley court of inquiry, be-
cause Schley happens to be a demo-
crat, are beginning to see that their
calculations will not be realized. The
navy department would have been
glad to have ordered a court of in
quiry at any time within the last three
years had Admiral Schley asked for
it, and now that the court is to be
held, it will render every official aid
possible to Admiral Schley, in order
that light may be thrown upon the
dark places in the naval campaign
which resulted in the destruction of
Cervera's fleet, and if it be shown
that the department was wrong in its
assumption that Sckley disobeyed Or
ders without properly explaining his
reasons and that he displayed a lack
of judgment at critical period, no.
where would there be more satisfac-
ton than in the navy department.
Every record of the department has
been thrown open to Capt. Parker,
who is one of Schley's counselin order
that he may have access to every
scrap of official evidence that will be
laid before the court. Judge Advo-
cate General Lemly of the navy, who
will be Judge Advocate of the Schley
court of inquiry, has gone away on "a
vacation and will not return until
Sept. 1. His subordinates will arrange
all the details, such as making a list
of witnesses who will appear before
the court, etc.

How He Saved His Dinner.

In the little town of Arundel there
is a taxidermist who is gifted with
wonderful presence of mind. Here
is an instance:
Some time ago a gentleman called
at his shop with a cock pheasant,
which he desired to have skinned,
stating at the same time that he cid
not require the body. This quite
suited the taxidermist, who thought
the pheasant would do for his dinner
on the morrow.
However, later in the day the gen.
tleman called again and said that he
would take the body away. The tax
idermist replied that it was unusual
for customers to take the bodies
away, but that he had no objection,
and he fetched the bird, which his
wife had put on plate and covered
with flour.
"Ah!" exclaimed the gentleman.
"It looks very nice. But what is this
white powder with which it is cover
ed?"
ooh, that" replied the taxidermist
quietly, is arsenic. l always cover
the bodies with that until can dispose
of Them"
"Ara-rsenic!" stammered the gen
tleman. "Why, thought that the
bird would be good to eat. Thank
you, won't trouble to take it away
with me. Good day."

Just a Word to the TOVnSpGOple.

If there is anything you are in
need of and have got to buy, why
not buy at home? The town wheel
is a large one and goes hard, but
if every man in town would put his
shoulder to it and push hard, in
few years there would be change
for the better. But as it is you
are helping other towns to pay
their taxes, support their Churches,
and build up their Villages, while
your own is going down. 1t may
cost a trife more to buy at home,
but your money is in your own
town helping to build it up and
making your taxes less. As for
my own business, the more sell
the cheaper you can get it.
