A Good Story on Gen. Wheeler

IA "oou StoIS vi "ch. w uctIcT
There is no disputing the fact that
Joe Wheeler was the popular idol in
the parade. He received more APP
plause than either Mckinley or Roose-
welt and seemed to enjoy it immensely.
Speaking of Wheeler recalls an Incl
dent which occurred few days ago
on a Washington street Car. 1t was
raining very hard, and the street Car
was crowded. Gen. Wheeler sat next
to lady wearing a macintosh, who
rose to get out at Fourteenth and c.
streets. Gen. Wheeler noticed an um.
brella leaning against the car seat.
He grabbed it and ran after the lady,
caught her at the door and said:
pardon me, madame, but you left
your umbrella" The woman looked
puzzled, but took the umbr, lla. Gen.
Wheeler resumed his seat. The wo-
man on the other side of him gave a
little scream and said: "Why, you
nasty old man, you gave that woman
the conductor. Gen. Wheeler apollo
gized, but the woman said: Now you
just get right off the car and get it for
me or II notify the police" Meekly the
veteran of three wars tumbled off
into the rain and ran after the woman
with the macintosh. He made hur-
ried explanation, got the umbrella,
and rushed back to the waiting car.
AS he handed it back to it's owner, he
said 81 trust you will pardon me,
madame. | assure you it was all a
mistake" The woman glared at him.
Il don't know about that" she shifted,
Il don t believe you are any better than
you ought to be. "-Erchdnge.

1t may startle some of our readers
to know that every Day will soon be
Sunday-up in Delaware. Congress
man Hoffecker tells of two families on
the peninsular; one, consisting of a
family of seven girls, named Day, the
other composed of seven sons, named
Sunday. The last girl of the former
will soon wed the last Sunday son.
Thus, the seventh Day will be called
Sunday and every Day will be Sunday.

The State Revenue Agent, of Texas,
has published map which shows that
about one third of the State is now
under the local option prohibition
law. A number of local option cleo
tions have been held in different parts
of the big state and all have resulted
in favor of prohibition, whose advo-
Gates have decided to do their work in
precincts and counties. There is no
agitation in favor of State prohibi-
ton campaign. We hope Texas will
learn from Mississippi the wisdom of
enforcing the law wherever it exists
against the retail of strong drink A
prohibition law does not mean there
will be no whisky drunk or sold any
more than the law against theft or
murder means the total abolition of
these awful crimes. Neither does the
lawless element, which is omnipresent
and opposed to all righteousness and
wisdom, make any exception of law
that holds within its clutch the mon
ster breeder of all crimes. 1t cannot
be expected. The only hope of safety
Is In the enforcement of the law.

TRUST.

TRUST.
do not ask that God shall always make
my pathway light.
l only pray that He will hold my hand
throughout the night;
do not hope to have the thorns removed
That pierce my feet,
only ask to find His blessed arms
My safe retreat.
III he affiicts me, then. In my distress,
WithholdS His hand,
If all His wisdom cannot conceive
Or understand,
do not think to always know His why
Or wherefore, here;
But sometime He will take my hand and MAKE
His meaning clear.

ACCIDENT TO HANCOCK.
United States Transport Aground
 on Japanese Coast.

Nagasaki, Japan, Nov 15.-The United States trans port Hancock is ashore on the south side of the Straits of Shimonoseki.
 A German gunboat Is assisting her.
 The transport grounded on sandy bot tom.
 The Hancock Is the third United States transport to meet with a niishap in Ja- panese waters recently.
 First, the Sheridan, having on board a number of returning troops and the Con- gressional party which has been visiting the Philippine Islands. was detained at Nagasaki by broken taft rail Her pas sengers were transferred to the Warren, which sailed from Nagasak November 8.
 Two days later the Warren sustained damages in the Inland sea which made it necessary to return and dock at Naga- saki.
 The Hancock was ordered to proceed frcm Manila to Nagasaki and take on board the delayed passengers, and 1t was expsc cted that she would sail from that port November 13 for San Francisco.
 Much apprehension Is felt here on &C., count of the disaster to the Hancock. as it is understood that Senator Bacon of Georgia and the party of Senators and CongressmeuGembark on the transport last Wednesday on their return home.
 If the party is aboard, as believed now, MT. Josiah K Ohl of Atlanta is with them. The party suffered a series of mis- haps since leaving China. Every effort is being made to ascertain the nature of the accident by the Washington authorities.
 Orders< were cabled from the War De- partment today directing the Quarter master at Nsgasak to utilize the Sheri- dan to bring the passengers of the Han cock to the United States The Sheridan will be ready to sail on the 17th. It Is ex-
 A sional party, the sick and the important mail now on the Hancock.

DOMESTIC TERRITORY.
Philippines is Held by Commissioner
 of Internal Revenue.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The Commissioner of Internal Revenue today rendered a decision in which he holds that beer, whis key and other articles of domestic man. ufacture subject to internal revenue tax and consumed in the United States are subject to this tax when shipped to the Philippine Islands. In this sense the Phil ippines are held to be domestic territory.
 Under existing laws articles subject to internal revenue tax at home are relieved from the tax when exported 70 foreign country the exporter giving bond when the goods are withdrawn which Is cam celled when satisfactory proof is furnish ed that they actually have been landed in foreign territory.
 Under the ruling made some weeks ago by the commissioners, the Philippines were regarded for purposes of internal revenue taxation Qs foreign territory and tt refore the whisxey, beer, cigars, etc, which have been shipped to the islands have been exmpted from taxation.
 TTnder the present ruling the tax in all cases will be exacted before shipment It is expected that the exporters will pay the tax under protest, having in mind the fourteen diamond rings case" now pending in the United States Supreme Court, in which a decision is looked for at an early date. This case involves the same question which has arisen in the consideration of the internal revenue tax cases, and if the court should hold that the Philippines are foreign territory for tht customs ard internal revenue tax DIT poses, exporters will be entitled to re- fund of the amount of the tax paid.

W. c. T. U. CONVENTION.
Many Delegates and Visitors Attend ing the Session at Fort Worth.

h@0R1e1AA
 Fort Worth, Texas. Nov. 15.-Bright skies and braoing atmosphere greeted hundreds of W. C. T. U. delegates and visitors today when the great convention was opened. Crowds have been pouring ing in from all parts of the Union, even from Hawaii. England. Switzerland and the sister republic of Mexico.
 Fully one thousand strangers are within the gates of the welcoming city. nearly half of them being official dele gates, while others interested in the work have made the trip on missions of various kinds in connection with the convention.
 White ribboners" oan be distinguish ed at all times by little knots of white ribbon, which is always worn conspfcu- ousiy by every member.
 Yesterday brought to close the pre- liminary work of organization and today the actual convention work began. Three meetings took place this morning before the opening of the convention proper. the Loyal Temperance Legion. the Purity Conference and Prayer Meeting.

NEGRO MUST RETIRE.
Northern Methodists Not in Sym
 pathy with Mixed Schools.

Pittsburg, Nov. 15.-In today's session of the General Missionary of the Metho- dict Episcopal Church the burning ques- ton came up when the negro question was precipitated by a motion made ny Bishop Foss, when an application from Alabama conferences for missionary aid came up. The Bishops motion was that appropriations for white work in the South (Maryland and Delaware exceptedJ and the coiored work mostly South he referred to special committees for con sideration.
 Rev. pr. N. H. Nelson (colored) made an eloquent plea against the motion. He said the M. F.. Church was the only church in the South. which stands for the fatherhood of God and the brother hood of man; that there is now crusade of hate all through the South against the black man and that the colored people down there are looking to the M. E. Church North for help.
 Rev J. F. Boucher of Baltimore, said that while he was the friend of the colored man, he could not help but know that 1t Is at this time impossible to sue cessfully conduct mixed schools, colleges or churches, especially in the South.
 Tt is not the fault of the black man, !" he said, ''ft is his misfortune" Bishops Hamilton and waldon and Dr. Buckley spoke against the motion after which 1t was laid over until tomorrow. During the debate some of the speakers plainly intimated that the time was coming when the negro would have to retire from the Methodist Church as CO., member with his white brother and organize a branch of his own.

RATHBUN NOW SILENT.
His Attorney Cautions Him Against
 Talking Too Much,

Talking loo Much,
 Jefersonvtile. Ind. Nov. 15.-Tt Is prob- able that the public will hear nothing more soon directly from Newell c. Rath- bun for two reasons. A lawyer whose services he has secured since his arraign- ment yesterday, has enJoined him not to. talk. and Judge Marsh of the Clark Coun- ty Circuit Court has directed that no one shall see the prisoner except upon an or der of the court. Newspaper men are barred.
 Sheriff Rave says Rathbun was ques- tioned by his lawyer today and held to his last story, admitting everything ex- cept that he gave poison to Goodman.
 It is unlikely that either side win be ready to proceed at once with Rathbun s trial, though a special grand jury will consider his case Monday. He is. entitled to continuance for one term of court, and 1t Is said the State may want more time to gather evidence. It is said that even if Goodman was given poison, there will be great difficulty in demonstrating the fact by an autopsy, since the corpse was embaimed a week ago.
 Deputy Coroner Coots claims that in taking gas from Goodman's stomach with a fluid used for that purpose, he detected the drug. A bottle filled with tho fluid pumped in and out of the stomach has been preserved and will be analysed if the county will bear the expense.
 Chief of Police Gunther of Louisville is receiving letters from all parts of the country relative to the identity of Good man. who is supposed to be the man Rathbun is charged with poisoning. Many who have a missing relative seem to find in the description of the dead man re- semDlance to their absent one. Mrs. Au- gusta Goodman of 1517 Thirty-fifth Street, Chicago, Is one of the inquirers, but her claims are disposed of by the fact that her husband, who disappeared about twenty years ago, would be 50 years of aage if living. The Goodman in this case was a young man.
