and burned in the West Coast factory
building, (which was destroyed.
The fire broke out at noon in the

RICHARD HARDING DAVIS and other
newspaper men who were at the front
with the army in Cuba during the
Spanish-American war are about to in
stitute suit against General Alger to
call him to account for paragraph in
his book which reflects upon their cour-
age and accuracy. These are the men
who in official reports and in the writ
ings of President Roosevelt, were com
mended for their faithfulness to duty
and their disregard of personal risk.
Alger says they ran away at the first
shot and sku1ked on transports to
write their reports of what they were
sent to see. General Miles took a
wiser course when he refused to take
any notice of the former SecretarY's
criticism of himself in the same book

DEADLY ProMAINE POISON.
William scnlade a Little Three Year old
Coy Dies From Eating Tainted Meat.

Coy Dies From Eating Tainted Meat
William Schlader, the little three
year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Servic
Schlader, died Thursday afternoon at
tn family residence at 155 Ridge
street, after an illness of less than
eighteen hours. Death resulted from
ptomaine poisoning caused by eating
tainted meat.
The death of the little boy was a
very sad one. On Wednesday evening
the child was in the best of health and
at supper time he was with the other
members of the family about the
table. He ate large quantity of ham
sausage which had been purchased
from a local dealer.
After supper was over the little boy
played until bed time with the other
children of the family and went to bed
in good health shortly after eight
o'clock. An hour later he was seized
with a violent fit of vomiting. The
commissions con tinued until mornin 6
when DIR. Ripley was called to attend
the little sufferer. Every effort was
made to save the child's life but the
commissions continued and he died
shortly after noon.
None of the other members of the
family we're effected by the poison but
this fact is explained by the fact that
they did not eat heartily of the sau-
sage. The funeral of the little boy
was held from St. James church
Saturday morning and the remains
will be inferred at the ST. James Gem
etery.

No uefdict in tie Abel Case.

The Jury iii the case of the United States
against Stephen A. Abel, of ST. Mary's coun-
ty, for padding census lists who was tried in
the United States Court last week, reported
Saturday morning that they could not agree
and we're dischared. In this case, in order TO
allow witnesses to go home, Abel's counsel
agreed to the following allegations of the
counsel forthe government That on Abeli's
list were the names of persons who were dead
for periods ranging from a few months prior
to the taking of the census to fifteen years,
and that Abel knew they were dead; that 1S5
were names of people who had never lived in
Abell's district, and that he was aware of The
fact; that 1876 had formerly lived in the dis
trict, bnt that they had been living away from
there, with Abell's knowledge, for periods
ranging from few months to twenty years;
that of the people on the lists had never ex-
isted at all, exceptin Abell's imagination; that
among those listed was Washington City
undertaken, who went to the county in census
time to bury Mrs. Sanderson and was
counted, along with the corpse.
The defense was that, while Abel put these
names on the list he did not return them TO the
Census Bureau, but laid them on table in
the Office of his brother, who is Clerk of the
Circuit Court They reached the Census
Bureau, however, and were counted in the
sum total of the population of st. Mary's
county, and Abel received pay for the work.
With such confession and such weakde-
tense, the result vas travesty on justice.

Burlesquing the Declaration of In
dependence.

July 4. the anniversary of the day upon
which the Declaration of Independence was
promulgated, was chosen as the day for in
stalling civil government in the Philippines.
1t was made an occasion of p0mp and parade.
The dispatch announcing the event also
stated
General Chafee is preparing to pursue
Malvar, the Filipino chief in Southern Lu-
ION. He has ordered the transfer ofthe Fifth
Infantry from Northern Luzon TO Batangas
province. The General has been informed
that Malvar's principal headquarters are in a
mountain town in Northern Tayabas, whose
inhabitants are contributing to his support.
At his own request General Hughes will be
permitted to continue in command OF The
Visayas Islands until the Samar campaign is
completed.
Now read what the Declaration of indie
pendence contains
.'We hold these truths TO be self-evi-
dent, that all men are created equal; that
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unaienable rights; that among
these, are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just poOers from the CON
sent of the governed.
After such declaration in our own behalf,
what must the Filipinos think what must the
nations of the world think-of establishing
and maintaining, with naval and military
forces, of government upon the anniversary
of that declaration in the Philippine islands
against the consent of the governed? 1t is
true many Filipinos have given up The unequal
struggle aud surrendered, but there are still
some in arms against the domination of-the
United States, according to the dispatch above
noted. And it is our firm belief the day will
come that the people of this country will,
with hearty ananmity, regret the departure
from the principles and teachings of the found
ers of this republic. The time may be lar
in the future, but it will come. The United
States are young as Il government. but no ma
lion has fourished long by conquering aud
holding in subsection other peoples. Spain
is shining example, and Bngand's decay
has begun.
