Probably three-fourths Of those not in
official life are friendly to Admiral
Schley, and will do everything possible
to help him in his coming conflict with
the navy department ring. In official
life it is held that Schley should never
have permitted the public to attribute
to him the glory of winning the San
tiago fight, as the public has apparent
ly done. Almost anywhere you will
hear an official say that Schley should
have come out in a statement declin-
ing to be given the credit for the vic
tory and declaring that the fight was
under Admiral Sampson. These state
ments show the hatred which is felt
for Schley. He has never claimed any
thing himself in connection with the
Santiago fight, but has not been so
foolish as to deny his right to some Of
the honor of that fight. Therefore he
has acted unwisely and sellshly, ac-
cording to these official critics. The
fact is that Admiral Schley Is a most
modest fellow. He has scores Of
friends among newspaper men and
they nave, as rule, never allowed his
interests to suffer, although giving to
him only that which was his due.

dandies of the Guards Drawing the

when the names Of the noble and COM
missioned dead appeared In the Ga
zette after Waterloo. Their meaning
was that noble ancestry begets noble
brood; that line Of gentlemen for
forefathers give man certain spirit,
stamina and courage which the yeo-
man and the shopman lack; that the
thoroughbred man, like the thorough
bred horse, is superior to the common
mustang or car horse.
1t Is true that the traditions Of no
BILE family have a certain influence on
the scions thereof and keep them up to
certain ideals. especially In the matter
Of physical. courage. Moreover, wealth,
education and generous habits Of liv-
ing, with which most men Of good
blood are familiar from birth, have a
tendency to create keen sense Of hon.
or and personal pride that have very
strong influence upon conduct. Yet ex-
amples prove that blood has little ad-
vantage over the base-born, either III
the matter of Intellectual or physical
qualities.
The greatest men have been the Off
spring of lowly people. The most rug
ged intelIects seem to have come from
the tillers Of the soil, and to have de-
rived tnerefrom a certain natural
strength that men born in castles and
manor houses do not inherit. OF all the
kings and rulers the strongest were
the founders of the dynasties. The
first holder Of an hereditary title nearly
always Is the greatest. This fact was
known to the French wit, who said:
I'VE cannot all be mobiles. Some Of us
must be ancestors" In literature and
all departments of learning the majori
ty Of the masters were plebians.

Those of our readers who were pres
ent at the annual convention Of cotton
seed crushers at New Orleans in May,
as we'll as those who followed the re-
ports of that meeting, will recall the
prediction made in paper read by one
of the Reporters staff on that occasion
as to the future Of the industry. While
many of his hearers at that time
thought the speaker was indulging in
idle prophecy, they have since, as a re-
suit of the recent combinations, chang
ed their views, and have been outspok-
en- in their recognition of the fore
sight which led to these prophetic ut
terances. The paper. with the others
read at the convention, was published
in full in The Reporter of May q, this
year, and, while 1t is not our intention
to indulge in any self-laudation, we
feel justified in calling attention to the
fact that the views expressed by our

firmation in the course of events in the
cotton seed industry than even he had

"True, true" returned Vladimir
thoughtfully. ut was narrow
chance. But it is over:now."
"And how gained you the knowl-
edge of my whereabovts?" asked
Ruric.
"1'll explain it to you when we
have time. But did / understand
you to say that the humpbacked
priest was there"
"He came to my dungeon with
the rest, and twas he that knocked
down. Have you not found him"
"No; We have seen nothing of
him. We found two men in the hall,
and that was all"
The place was searched all
through for the priest, but he could
not be found. and when Vladimir
was assured that the arch villain had
made his escape he prepared to leave
the building. The prisoners, four of
them, were led out first and taken
away by the monks followers.
When Ruric reached the street,
the stars we're all out and the cool:
frosty air struck gratefully upon his
brow. He turned toward his mystic
rious companion, and under the
grateful impulse of the moment he
stopped. lie raised his hands to-
ward heaven, uttered one fervent
sentence of thanksgiving to God
and then moved on again.

dropped from the lips of the baffied
man as he picked himself up, and in
d moment more he was edited by a
conversation between the two, for
villain No. 1 had revived, though
the tone Of his voice plainly indicat-

lingering with him.
EMichael, Michael!" groaned No.

him scrambling up on his feet.
'Hi, Oriel!" returned No. 2.
Have you dropped him?"
"Now cried Michael, with a curse

"But where's the lantern?"

"And of course it's him. He went
that way. Let's 60 and find"-
He did not finish the sentence, for
at that moment voice came up in
thunder tones, and it said:
"Ruric! Ruricp
"Good God!" gasped villain No. 1.
"What is that?"
"Ruric! Ruricp
"By the living gods, that is not

found the entrance, Michael?"
"No. It's near you somewhere.
Can't you- Ha! In, in"
At that moment the glare of a
flaming torch flashed through the
gloom of the place, and the two vii
lains stood revealed. A dozen stout
men, all we'll armed, appeared in the
only passage by which they could
escape, for to have fled into the
drawing room of which they had
spoken would avail them nothing.

the monk, raising his flaming torch
high above his head with his left
hand. while ir his right he waved
heavy sword. "Where is Ruric Ne
vel?"
"Hcre, here!" cried our hero,
starting forward into the larger
room.
"What! Safe-alive-well?" ?" ut
tered Vladimir.
"Aye, my noblest of friends. But,
oh, cast off this accurscd bond from
my arms. 1t eats into the flesh"
The rope was quickly taken off,
and then the youth embraced his de-
liverer. N@ questions were asked
there. Only a few sincere thanks
were uttered, and then attention
was turned to the two villains, who
yet stood trembling near them
They had not attempted an escape,
for the way was blocked up. They
were quickly secured, and then the
party turned away from the place,
and as they went Ruric gave the
monk an account of the manner in
which he had been entrapped and of
the events which had transpired
since.
"Merciful heavens!" calculated
Vladimir as Ruric closed his ac-
count of the manner in which he
had overcome the two men who had
thought to murder him. ''It was a
narrow escape"
"But | might not have escaped
without your coming" the youth
said, "for they would surely have
found me. With my hands lashed
behind me as they were could not
have escaped"

EARL RUSSELL BIGAMY CASE
The Jury OF Peers the Most Remark
able One Known in Crimi-
nal Law.

New York, June 26.-Commenting
upon the coming trial of Earl Russell
by the house of lords upon the charge
of bigamy, the London correspondent
of the Tribune says:
THE jury OF peers is the most re-
markable one known in criminal law.
The panel includes the entire house of
lords, from the junior barons 70 tic
bishops and the princes of the royal
house. Every peer having the right
to take part in ordinary business can
present himself as a juror in this
bigamy case, and can be exempt from
a challenge. A bare majority of these
jurors will suffice to deter
mine the guilt or innocence of their
brother peer, and the percise bear
ings of American divorce practice on
the obligation of marriage in En-
gland.

The end of the seven years struggle
for independence brought with it a
desire to grow, and then began the
national expansion that has carried
the Fourth of July all around the
world, and made its significance known
to many people speaking many Ian
guages.
Men who had served the struggling
provisional government of the col
onies in the ranks of the patriotic army
returned to their homes only to find
them burned and destroyed either by
the British or their faithful allies the
Indians. With the same courage they
had shown upon the field of battle
they moved westward into the I'M
known wilderness to begin life anew.
By the time Gen. Washington had been
chosen president for a second term
western Pennsylvania was figuring in
the nations history and Independence
day was being celebrated along the
Ohio river.
Gradually the venturesome settlers
worked their way still further west
ward. Ohio was invaded and crossed,
and before the patriotic Washington
had closed his public career and re-
tired to, private life at Mount Yer
non Tennessee was celebrating the
nations natal day as a state in the
federal union. For years after the
admission of Tennessee as a state the
American ship Columbia carried old
glory on its first trip around the
world, and with it went the story of
the Declaration of Independence.
Sailors on that good Boston schooner
told the story to the natives of the
isles of the far Pacific, and inspired in
| the downtrodden colonies of Europe
in all parts of the world a hope of SIM
liar freedom.
But more than 1000 miles of I'M
known territory still lay to the west

of the American outposts. In both

we're rapidly advancing the line of
civilization. Hardly had the nine
teenth century opened before the Mis-
sissippi river had been reached, to
cross which meant to enter French
territory. 1t seemed for a time that
the expansion must stop there, and
the meaning of the Fourth of July
be unknown on it's western shore.
But the young nation was anxious to
expand, and France was willing to
sell the great unexplored territory
which she claimed in the very center
of the North American continent, and
in 1903 Independence day crossed the
Mississippi and began its march to
the Pacific coast.
A move to the south was made in
1920 when Spain coded Florida to the
United States, and another large
stretch of territory was brought I'M
der the protecting folds of Old Glory.
Later the Lone Star state knocked at
the door of the union asking for adj
mission to the sisterhood of states,
and the close of the Mexican war saw
Independence day celebrated from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Through the influence of Secretary
Seward Alaska was admitted TO our
territory in 1867, and the Eskimos
of the frozen north began to learn the
meaning of the boom of the mo
cracker when the days were longest.
