Has a Victorious Commander Erer Before Had to Ask
 An Investigation
ON TRIAL" BUT NO AccUSER
schIey Was Told By the President That the Enemy Must Not Leave "Without Decisive Action"
 They Got It Beautifully.

Washington. November 1.-The time of the Schley court of inquiry was entirely devoted today to hearing arguments. MT. Hanna first concluded his argument in behalf of the department, and Captain James Parker began but did not con clude his portion of the case for Admiral Schley.
 Mir Hanna today considered the retro- grade movement, the bombardment of the Colon and the charge made against Admiral Schley~<or disobedience of or ders Captain Parker had only reached the Colon question when the court ad- journed.
 It is expected that Captain Parker will continue his speech tomorrow, when MT. Rayner will begin.
 Captain Parker, in beginning his ad- dress in support of Admiral Schley, said he doubted If the naval history of the world presents or has ever presented case of the importance and the character of this in which we have so long been en- gagged. l doubt if a tribunal more exalted in the character of the persons who conl- pose it has ever sat in judgment on brother officer. I doubt if an officer with the lifelong character and standing and conduct that Admiral Schley had dis played was ever called upon to ask an investigation of his conduct as a victori- ous commander of a feet"
 Continuing, Captain Parker compared this case with the charges made after the battle of Lake Erie. In that case there might have been some foundation but in this there was no foundation what ever. He said the court, in it's wisdom, had prevented comparisons with other officers engaged in the Santiago cam paign.
 There Is No Accuser.
 ''There is no accuser here" he said. Nobody is on trial, and yet the case has been conducted as though Commo- dore Schley was on trial. We get it, he continued, 'in. the argument now being made here. So we are compelled to re- gard the inquiry as a trial.'
 Speaking of the cruise to Cienfuegos, Captain Parker said it was inconsistent to criticise Admiral Schley for stopping to take Captain Chester on board while the same time criticsing him for not calling Captain McCalla aboard. ''We can't"' he said, "blow hot and cold in the same breath. The truth is there was no real delay in the voyage"
 As for the Cienfuegos blockade he held that it was sufficient tlat no vessel had gone in or come out without permission. Moreover the admiral had taken all the steps possible to ascertain whether the enemy was there.
 No doubt the Commodore could have gone somewhere for coal, but I do not believe it was ever contemplated that he should have gone off 125 miles for it. So there is nothing positive or manda- tory in the Harvard dispatch"
 Then he took up Commodore Schley's dispatch forwarded by the Harvard and defended the position taken by the Com modore in that message He then re- ferred to the sentence in which the Com

A SPOT BlEACHER.
Il VIII Clean the Piano Keys md
Take Out Ink Stains.

To keep piano keys clean and prevent
the discoloration Of the ivory, dampen
piece of muslin with alcohol and with it
rub the keys The alcohol can do no sort
of damage to the ivory, and if it is fire.
quently applied the keys will stand in
want of no other treatment; but, if they
have already begun to turn yellow, then
try rubbing them with a piece of cotton
flannel wet in cologne water. Even old
and discolored ivory may be rejuvenated,
no matter what the cause of the dlscol-
grafton nor of how long standing. An
acid, applied repeatedly, will usually re-
store the keys to their original whteness.
Cotton flannel cloths, wet with saturat-
ed solution of oXalic acid and water and
laid upon the keys, will remove all stains.
Care should always be taken in the use
Of such bleacher as this that it does not
touch anything from which the color is
not to be removed, for it does its work
with more certainty than discretion.
This same solution Of oXalic acid and
water is sometimes used In removing INK
spots, especially when the ink spot is on
paper, as on the margin of good book.
One teaspoonful of the oXalic acid and
water to make saturated solution are
the only needfuls. Dip finger in the
solution and press 1t gently into the ink
spot. If this is done repeatedly and with
out rubbing the paper, the Objectionable
blot will eventually fade from view. An
other method of removing ink marks
from paper is to mix n teaspoonful Of
chloride of lime with water just suifi-
Gent to cover it. Apply this with soft
cloth, merely patting the spot. AS either
intentional writing or mere blots VIII
yield before this sort of treatment care
must be exercised in its use. Printing
ink is, however, quite safe from the as
saults of either lime or the acid.
Thumb marks on the pages of books
may be removed by first rubbing the spots
with soft bits of stale bread. Whatever
remains of the marks after that treat
ment may need a gentle touching up with
a bit of cloth dampened in the oxalic
acid and water solution. If by any mis-
chance large and obnoxious grease spot
should fall upon a page or some pages OF
a book it may be removed Put piece
of blotting paper under the spot and an
other piece of blotting paper over it and
then add the weight Of warm iron.
Much of the grease will come out and be
absorbed by the paper. Heat very lit
tie essential oil Of turpentine till 1t is very
hot, then apply it to the still warm and
greasy leaf of the book, spreading it on
both sides with clean brush More
clean blottng paper and warm iron will
complete the cure.-New York Sun.

A SOLDIERS TREASURE.

With q rose In the rim Of his fawn colored hat
And q Jingle OF saber and spur
A soldixf rode by in the dawn and the dew
Ere the village was scarcely astir.
The patter and clatter OF sharp, little hoofs
Brought her into the window above;
Her eyes were as blue the sky overhead,
Unclouded by sorrow or love.
In the gold OF the sunrise they halted below,
Bay mare and brave rider, apace,
And her kerchief dropped out as she leaned from
the sill,
fragment Of linen and lace
He caught it in air on the point OF his sword
And buttoned it under his blouse
And cantered away, but drew rein on the hill
And turned to look back at the house.
While she dreamed OF a soldier returning from war
To halt at her window again.
The mare and her rider lay dead In the dust
Where bullets were falling like rain,
And comrade who passed in moment OF truce
STOPPED over and covered his face
With a kerchief he found in the breast OF h,

A fragment OF linen and lace.

DAN RlCE,S LAST NICKEL.
It Was Soon Increased So That He
Could spare 500 For a Church.

"Circus people as a rule are the best
travelling class railroads have to deal
with" said a railroad man who has
had much to do with such combinations.
They are always found to be close fig
urers, presenting million md one con-
tentions, asking MS many, IL not more,
courtesies, but in the end the results are
generally satisfactory to both parties.
ut is only within the last few years
that railroads began handling circus out
fits. The country road and wagon once
afforded cheap method of transporta
ton between small towns, where nickels,
dimes and quarters rarely ever failed to
be taken in by the hatful. Those not
on country roads were found on the
large rivers. shifting their dates to suit
the seasons all the way from St. Paul
and Cincinnati to Cairo, Ills, and New
Orleans. The late Colonel Dan Rice,
who probably pleased more people as a
clown than any other sawdust king, was
a striking figure among the performing
river craft and one of the first to put his
show on the rails.
"This was back in 1873, when panic
swept over the country and river towns
had hit the sky, right and left, for the
chow business Rice and his animals were
tied up at st. Louis, waiting for times
to grow better, when trading firm offer
ed a good lump sum for his boats. He
figured it was go broke in almost any
event, so he sold, and then began to tour
eastward with train Of borrowed cars.
1t was big undertaking. even for Rice,
who was about the richest in the business
in those days, but everything went rea-
sonably well until he started to enter In
diana. The last Illinois town was rot
ten The show had hardly made 'ani-
NAL meat to say nothing Of the money
to get to another stand. AS last resort
Colonel Rice soaked the show to the rail
road company to put him into Vincennes,
just over the state line, agreeing that the
company's agent there should play door
keeper and hold out what was coming.
Fincennes did not look whit good. The
town was dead and the inhabitants
wouldn't enthuse bit over the bum band
and bright colored wagons. An hour be-
fore the afternoon performance was to
begin found Colonel Rice pacing in front
of the main entrance, figuring with him
self for dear life. when a party Of ladies
approached.
"'Colonel Rice they began. we have

A NEW TRIAL
Granted E|ectus Cakes, the
Aroostook Murderer,
Erroneous Instructions to jury by
Judge Cause Of Decision.
Case Was Shooting Of Cakes Son Oliver al
Sheridan Plantation.

Bangor, Me-. July PA new trial
has been granted Electus Cakes. the
convicted Aroostook county murderer.
This fact was made public in the fol-
lowing rescript which was received.
Wednesday, by Charles F.. Sweet. clerk
/ OF courts for the eastern law district:
In the trial of a person upon an in
dictment charging him with murder,
an instruction to the jury by the pre-
sioing justice that their verdict should
be not guilty, or guilty of murder in
me first degree. is repugnant to Section
4 of Chapter us. Revised Statutes.
which provides that.
The jury finding a person guilty of
murder shall find whether he is guilty
Of murder in the first or second de
gree, and is therefore erroneous
"A person on trial for murder must
ne con: ldered as standing upon ali his
legal rights and waiving nothing.
Exceptions sustained. New trial
granted.
The trial of Elcctus Cakes of Shcr-
mar Plantation. for the murder of his
son. Oliver on Aug. 81. 1889 was held
~ The october term or the supreme
court for Aroostook county that year
Justice Savage presided and a verdict
Of guilty was returned by the jury af-
ter Il trial of several days
Hon. Don \. II. Powers. the counsel
Tor the defense, at once took the case
10 the law court on exceptions. by the
decision which has just been handed
down by that body the exceptions were
sustained and Cakes will be given an.
other chance to fight for his liberty
Former Attorney Gen. William T.
Haines conducted the prosecution.
In regard to the death of Oliver
oakes there was absolutely no contro-
VerSy. 1t was freely admitted by the
defence that he came to his end by a
bullet which was fired by his father
From this point the contentious of the
two sides differed virtually
The defence claimed that Electus
Cakes had fired the SHAT in seif-dpfenca
and that had ne not Killed Oliver. the
latter would have murdered his own
mother. The prosecution. of course,
claimed that the shooting was nothing
more or less than deliberate murder
The case was fought out along these
lines.
The granting Of new trial by the
law court may be regarded as the best
thing which possibly could have hap
pened from the standpoint of the de-
fence. Mr.. Powers hopes now to show
exclusively that his client acted simply
from an instinct of self preservation
and not from any malicious desire of
injuring his son.
The case is one of the most impor-
tant which has come up in Aroostook
county for years and, at the time of
the trial excited widespread interest.
