REPORT OF THE BOARD.

In its report to Secretary Long, under date OF
March >, the board said:
The board ordered Ito consider the question OF
rewards OF officers and enlisted OF the navy
ana anu oI Ine marine corps tor their Sonduct during
Gus session for more than week, examined in de-
tail all the papers on ME relating 10 the several
OF officer OF enlisted all the circum-
stances attainable bearing upon the case have been
carefully weighed. II is only proper 10 that,
in the preparation of this report, the board has
instances owing to Incomplete information. Ger
failed to be sufficiently explicit lead a de-
termination Of the nature and degree of the conduct
Guilty in assigning the individual thus commended

board is TO report What rewards rev may be given un,

guished conduct fails to meet in any degree with
its approval, BY the terms Of Section l5o6 OF the

over their seniors in rank This method of doing
nortnitv is inisIrious IN its eject upon public
| service. The nature of the injustice was pointed
out in your last annual report The experience of
| the board serves only TO emphasize the truth Of
what you have so forcibly brought to the attention
/ OF Congress.
For naval cadets any advancement in numbers Is
comparatively of little value. as their standing in
| the next higher grade is absolutely determined by
| subsequent competitive examination. In the case
| Of officers OF the Marine Corps the only reward
/ cept for those have received the thanks Of
| Congress, is by advancement exceeding thirty
| numbers, by the bestOwal Of brevets. The lat
method carries with it but little benefit and has
come TO be regarded as OF little value.
Section 1.407 Of the Revised Statutes authorizes
the bestowal of medals Of honor and gratuity of
500 upon "seamen'' WHO distinguish themselves I'm
battle by extraordinary heroism in the line of
their profession. Unfortunately, such provision
exists for the enlisted men Of the Marine Corps
| The board has, however, recommended the award

Imagination In Life.

1t seems probable that little imagi
nation is very much better as a posses
sion than a great deal. a little is to
the daily incidents and events of life
what salt is to meat. The relish it
bestows upon them is just as good as
a pleasure. If you are in sorry
plight. you can see help coming by its
aid. though. on the other hand, you are
not tormented by grievous relapses of
impatience and despair upon the delay
of the arrival of such help. as you
would surely be if you were as imagi-
native as a poet. And in like manner,
when you are in the thick of prosperi-
ty, under its gentle, judicious suggest
ing you are able to look ahead, fOresee
the inevitable squalls which shall fol-
low such spell of fine weather and
be prepared for them. In fact, GER
tain amount of imagination is like bal
last to a ship. whereas too much acts
like a storm upon the same ship, catch
ing it with all sails set.-Al the Year

SUDDEN DEATH OF LEPER
AGENT DAVID NAHOOLEWA

David Naohdelewa, the leper agent
of the Board of Health, and formerly
a captain of the police, died suddenly
yesterday afternoon at 4:15. in the
Board of Health building. The death
of this trusted man was tragic in the
extreme and strong illustration of
the scriptural saying, While we are
in life, we are in DEATH" for but a few
minutes before Nahoolewa was strick-
en- down, he was smiling and talkatIve,
and seemingly in the pink of physical
condition
While the Board of Health was in
session yesterday afternoon, and while
DIR. Pratt was reading a report to the
members. David Nahoolewa came into
the room, holding a letter in his hand.
He waited until DR.. Pratt had finished,
and then stepped forward to deliver
the letter 1t was private report
concerning a leper. David smiled and
whispered. L will attend to it to-
night" referring to a case he was in
vestigating. With partial military
salute to the board, David walked out
of the room. He stepped into hack

which had been waiting for him. and

started away. Just as the Judiciary
building was reached the driver heard
gasp, and looking back, saw that
Nahoolewa had fallen from the seat.
He turned back Immediately and drove
TO the Board of Health building, and
with the assistance of Eve office
clerks, carried the uneonsrtolls man in
to the office of the plumbing inspector.
Naohoolewa was laid on the floor.
AT that moment the members of the
Board of Health came into the hall,
the board having just adjourned. DR..
Cooper, DR.. Sloggett and DR.. Pratt ex-
amined the PROSTATE man. DR.. Coop
er worked Nahoolewa's arms back
wards and forwards. had brandy pour
ed into his mouth, and attempted to
move his clenched jaws. Every effort
was made to resuscitate him, hypo-
dermic injections being made by DR..
Mcdonald, but the leper agent was
beyond human aid. A close examina-
ton convinced the physicians that
Nahoolewa came to his death from
heart disease.
The deceased lived on Emma street,
and leaves a widow and six children.
He has been connected with the Board
of Health for about four years. prior
TO which time he was with the police
department as a captain. He was a
member of Company G, N. G. H. In
physique he was quite portly.

CAN coMPETE WITH CHINESE
Celestial Cheap Labor Not Able to
Hold Its Own.

NEW YORK, May 9O.-EveIyn E. Por-
ter. an electrical engineer, connected with
the cotton mills at Shanghai, China, is
at a hotel here. He says that the six
mills there, each having 10000 spindies,
cannot compete. even with their cheap
Chinese labor. with the American manu-
facturers.
The originators of the plants in China
expected large profits, but by the prac-
tice of the most rigid economy they have
been unable to earn more than per cent
on their investment.
The women in the Chinese mills, MI.
Porter said are paid fifteen cents per
day. He explained that competition with
American-made goods is unsuccessful De
cause an American operative can do bet
ter work and four times more in given
tine than a Chinese. Consequently
American products are cutting odt Chi
nese goods in Chinese markets

says:
Though the utmost secrecy is main
tanned, it has been learned here that
Richard Croker has completed all his ar
rangements to return to New York at
an early date.
1t seems highly probable that he will
sail on the steamship Deutschland next
Friday.
He left Vantage for London Tuesday
afternoon and returned tonight. His de-
parture on Friday evidently depends
upon whether or not he receives from
New York such information as will per-
NIT him to stay over to see the Derby on
June 5th.

to the subject at Birmingham lately at
the National Odd Fellows meeting and
discussed it with an air of sincerity, as
though it were something new which in
terested him deeply. He urged that it
should not be taken UP as a mere bribe
to electors, nor as a principle of univer-
sal application, but a practical policy
for the promotion of thrift with the
help of great friendly societies. His
speech was not important as a practical
exposition of any principles of State So
cialism, but was interesting as a fresh
proof that the strongest and most am
bilious member of the Ministry still con-
siders old age pensions to be a good
working asset for the Tory Democracy.

evening that there had been material change

panied Mrs. Mckinley. The first trip was to the
cemetery this morning. and it was at the re-
quest of Mrs. Mckinley. much longer drive
was taken in the afternoon the suggestion of
the doctor who feels that his patient Is benefited
by all the outdoor life she stand and can be
induced to take. These outings have always
had tendency to produce sleep and to increase
her appetite. and now they have that effect to
a degree at least.
There was placed on the Mckinley coffin to-
day by Judge William r. Day a large floral
wreath from the Emperor of Russia Judge
Day received telegram from Charge d'Affaires
De WoIante, of the Russian Embassy at Wash
ington, requesting that the offering be placed OH
the coffin. 1t is composed on one side of Ameri-
can Beauty roses and on the other side of or
chids. The base is of sago palms, the entire
wreath being interpreted with small cocoa
ferns. tied with orchid satin ribbon
The resting place of the President was visited
by thousands of persons to-day, probably over
twenty thousand entering the gates of West
lawn Cemetery. The attractions the floral
tributes sent for the funeral, which have been
arranged at either side of the vault They are

number of beautiful flowers were also placed
on the graves of the Mckinley children, which
also are protected by patrol of soldiers Many
of the crowd wandered from the vault to the
private lot. Many also climbed the high knoll in
the part of the cemetery, the prospective
monument. Those thousands of visitors at the
cemetery were not from Canton alone but hun

tective-Sergeant Henry. of the Central Office,
who had heard the girls cries for help.
Miss Burns had been sepnding the evening
with her mother who is Ill in ST Vincent's Hos
pital About o'clock she started home. Tween
ty-thrd-st. was practically deserted. and as she
walked westward just after crossing Seventh
ave. sprang out from dark corner. He
put his arms around her. threw her down, and
then grasped her throat with one hand while
with the other he tore loose small watch
fastened in the girls belt. Finally he grabbed
her pocketbook and ran.
Sergeant Henry followed the man down Sew
enth-ave. The avenue is torn up at that point
and for four blocks the chase led zigzag down
bricks and earth. At Nineteenth-st Henry
caught the fleeing negro. He used his club
freely, and although the negro was much more
powerful than Ii Henry at last conquered him.
