the Pro-cathedral of this city on
Monday, tue 23rd. INST. at s a. IN.
for the late, lamented President

The ruthless hand of anarchy has
felled the head of our nation, there

pray for our fallen Chief as we'll as
for his successor.
Death is ever an unwelcOme

While it is comforting to refiect
on the magnanimity with which
President Mckinley spoke of his
assassin aud the resignation and
Christian fortitude with which he
faced the inevitable, still we know
not the judgements of God; there
fore 1t is our duty to ask that di-
vine mercy be shown our late
Chief.
All are cordially invited to at

the rain should fall on the just

portions, aud complains that Cam

Stories of Burglars Being Brave Are
All Bosh.

BOLD burglars, or bold crooks of
any sort, are much more scarce than
their victims have any idea Of They
don't succeed because they are bold
or have bravery that amounts to more
than sublime assurance, but because
the great majority of their victims are
cowards," said burglar just out of the
penitentiary at Joliet, Ill. "a burg
lar with sense" he continued, knows
that people will get out Of his way
as rule and will be only too glad to
allow him to escape rather than run
the risk of having their own skins
hurt. have known a man to lie
awake in bed and make believe he was
asleep. hoping that the burglar In his
room would get through his work
and hurry away without hurting him.
He was a coward, and the burglar
who was Just as big coward. took
advantage of the fact. He knew the
man was awake If that man had
moved the burglar would have "ske-
daddled," with visions OF bullet be-
hind him. OF course, If burglar Is
cornered, he is like rat in the same
fix-he will fight.
"Cowardice simply invites burglars.
II the rule was to receive burglars
with a club or revolver there would
be lots fewer in the business. II men
were willing to take little chance OF
being hurt burglars wouldn't take
chances with them. No men are more
careful OF their hides than burglars,
and their courage amounts only to q
reliance on the weakness Of human
nature. Think of the cowardice
which allows two or three men to hold
up two or three dozen men in rail-
way train. A little grit would en-
able them to overthrow the highway
men in minute, but each one is
afraid to lead, and they submit like
sheep. The profession understands
this. After two or three cases at
jumping on the train robbers-eyen at
the risk of some injury or even death
there would be no more train rob-
berries. But people submit. and the
business goes on. Bravery Of burg
lars is bosh."

BLUE OR PETERS
Kansas Delegation is not Divided as
Reported

Kansas City, April Ex-senator j.
r.. Burton reached town early yester-
day and spent the day attending to
legal business at the firm Haykless,
Crysler & O'Grady and talking
politics to some of the Kansans who
"chanced" to be in the city.
Among those prominent" in APP
pointment Igossip who "chanced" in
town and "caIled" to see the senator
is ex-Congressman "Dick" Blue. The
two had a long conference.early in the
day, land sthen they renewed it late
last night.
Colonel Blue and S. r. Peters are
in the machine from which the pension
commissioner will be drawn. Pesti-
ferrous reports have been circulated to
the effect that Senator Burton and
Congressman Curtis had indorsed
Blue for commissioner to succeed
Evans, and that Congressman Long
had indorsed Peters, with the amended
report that Curtis had also joined
Long in support of Peters. Thus it is
that Burton backs Blue. Long backs
Peters and rumor fails to exactly
locate Curtis.
In the face of this there could be
nothing but party troubleIwithfactions
and subfactions.
In the face of all this rubbish, pos
sibly, the exact facts will be of inter-
est. Senator Burton and Congress-
men Curtis and Long called to see the
president. In touching upon the
question of patronage, the president
requested the three members of the
Kansas delegation to name two men
from which he could select "a commits
sioner of pensions, prescribing that
all three must iudorse each one of the
two selected, leaving to himself the
discretion of selecting one of the two
The three did SO; all three indorsed
Blue; all ,three indorsed Peters, and
now it rests with the President to select
and it is out of the hands of the Kan
sas delegation entirely. This sets
aside the rummage salerubbish worked
off in papers about the commissioner
of pensions situation.

had been difficult and
he had been almost disconnected.
81 am now urging in the strongest
possible manner" said Aguinaldo,
"thatlall insurgents should surrender
and swear allegiance to the United
States"
He expresses the opinion that Tinio,
Lusban, Malvar and other representa-
tive insurgents will surrender as soon
as they come to understand the am
nesty offered them. He said he hoped
that:when the work ofpacifcation was
complete and conditions were settled
the prisoners in Guam would be re-
leased.
After referring in grateful terms to
the courteous treatment accorded him
by the military authorities, he de-
clared his conviction that the civil
government which would follow pacif-
cation would realize the highest,hope
of the Filipino people.
When questioned regarding the
hope that he would visit the United
States, he replied that he would like
to do so, but had made no plans as
yet, placing himself entirely at the
of the United States gov
In concluding the interview he OBJ
served: "Every word of my address to
my countrymen, the Filipinos, came
from my heart. I hope the Americans
believe me thoroughly sincere in my
efforts to secure peace, and, under
American auspices, to promote the
welfare and prosperity of the Philip
pines.N ~

Weltmer and Kelley ask for
the Courts Mercy
No APPEAL IS POSSIBLE.
Cured "All Diseases Known
to Man or Woman"
Penalty May Range From one Cent to
$4,000 With Year and
Half in Prison.

Kansas City, April 23.--Stephen a.
Weltmer and Joseph II. Kelly, of Ne
vada, until recently engaged in the
business of curing "all diseases
known to man or woman" on ar
raignment in the United States dis
trict court yesterday, pleaded guilty
to nine counts and threw themselves
on the mercy of the court. Decision
was withheld, Judge Phillips announce
ing that he weuld take the matter un-
der advisement.
Senator Burton, of Kansas, and
Captain John O'Grady appeared for
the prisoners. Each addressed the
court. The plea is considered u COM
plete victory for the department, and
the United States district attorney,
Major Warner, was congratulated on
the outcome.
The penalty may be nominal, the
statutes providing for a fine as low as
one cent or as high as $1,000, with a
term of Imprisonment up to year and
half. All depends upon the court.
There can be no appeal from Judge
Philips decision, whatever it may be,
plea of guilty acting as bar to all
other proceedings. AS properly they
must be, the prisoners were in court.
They were not called to the bar.
This case is of national Importance.
Last spring it was practically tried
in Washington before the attorney
general, an order having been issued
by the postal authorities citing Welt
mer and Kelly to show cause why a
fraud order should not be issued to pre-
vent them from using the mails. SEN
ator Burton appeared for the healers.
AS he told in court yesterday, that
trial lasted nearly one week, the end
being that all mail held in transit dur
ing the investigation was surrendered
to the healers, but, thereafter no more

Russell Sage Says Prices
Have Gone too High
ARE ON A FICTITIOUS BASIS
Must get Back to Honest Val
ues for Safety
Says Properties are Selling now for
Twice what they Could Easily
be Produced for

New York, April 22.-Russell Sage,
when asked yesterday what his idea of
the present financial situation was,
said it might appear presumptious for
him to discuss Wall street affairs
when so many others were silent, but
when asked if it were not a public
duty to give word of advice at a
critical time like this he said:
'"There is only one way of doing
business; keep close to the line of
common sense and honesty. We have
all been trying to make men see the
necessity of getting back to honest
values.that we might deal in stocks
with ordinary safety.
"Values have not increased" said
Mr.. Sage. properties now so high
can be reproduced for one-half what
they are selling for. The present
condition of the market is unnatural
and liable to lead to great losses and
panic. But all men are not fools.
The public will get its eyes open very
soon and see the absurdity of trying
to represent railroads as worth double
what others could be put down beside
them for Who would want to pay
twice as much for house as it would
cost to duplicate it?
"Now is the time to exercise pru-
dence, reduce prices, take in sail and
keep close to shore"
"What is the cause of this general
advance in values?" | asked Mr..
Sage.
Reckless speculation, he replied
with emphasis. "They are drunkwith
speculation and don't know what they
are doing" added Mrs. Sage, who
was listening with deep interest.
"They have sent stocks of all sorts up
in balloons and think they'll never
come down, but they surely will"
"That's just it," remarked Mr..
Sage, approvingly, "It's imitation,
and it has continued longer than
thought it would. 1t did seem as If
therelwas intelligence enough among
the men in Wall street to see the utter
impossibility, the folly, the danger of
trying to do business on a fictitious
basis. Unless there is a speedy
change and the men who are now
adrift come to their senses and return
to sound business methods, disaster is
inevitable"

CHANCE FOR SETTLERS
Auditor Cole Reports on the School
Lands

Topeka, April 2l-The effort on the
part of Geo. f.. Cole, State Audito r,
to ascertain the quantity and quality
of school land open to sale or for
feiture in Kansas, has resulted in the
discovery of several thousand acres
of land located in various parts of
this State. This investigation is be-
ing made through the county clerks
who were requested to furnish detailed
information concerning the subject.
Mr.. Cole said yesterday:
"There are three distinct propositions
identified with this movement, any of
which regard as sufficiently impor-
tant for public interest.
"First.-A large amount of this
land which is now lying idle is
not occupied and carries practically
no benefit to the county in which il
is located will be placed on the tax
rolls.
"Second.-The unusual and univer.
sal demand for Kansas land indicates
that this unoccupied acreage will moi
only place the land on the market
and thereby increase the wealth of the
State as a general proposition, bu
will also increase the population be
cause there islno doubt that the highly
prosperous condition of Kansas
affairs is attracting immigration ant
with the land to bethus easily obtained
will prove lasting benefit.
"Third. Another important featur,
of the subject is, all monies realized
as principal from the sale of schoo
lands will be turned into and increas,

fund, and the interest realized will in
