First Passenger Elevator.
So common are passenger elevators now,
and so absolutely necessary in the tall Of
flee buildings, that the history of the first
one used has been almost forgotten, and
yet 1t created sensation In it's day This
elevator was placed In the Fifth Avenue
Hotel when it was built. and as the first
passenger elevator in the world Ii was a
drawing card as one OF the sights of New
York. A small plate, suitably inscribed,
informs visitors to the Fifth Avenue Hotel
elevators today of that fact. 1t was a
screw elevator, the carriage being raised
or lowered by the revolutions of a big
screw. Compared with the swift-moving
elevators of today, which shoot up and
down rapidly and smoothly, this was a very
crude affair.
Woman Rides Astride.
Mrs Thomas Hitchcock, jr., has set the
fashion of riding astride among the Hemp
stead and Westbury horse-loving colony,
but thus far she has the style practically
to herself. She Is made of sterner stuff,
however, than some of the Boston women
who were deferred by excessive publicity
from appearing man fashion in the saddle
at the recent horse show In the town of
beans and brains AS an intrepid horse
woman Mrs. Hitchcock is well known, but
her boldness was probably never shown to
better advantage than when she dashed up
among a throng of spectators at the
Meadow Brook polo field. sitting as erect
in her saddle as any player in the game.
She wore neat buff habit and dainty rid
ing boots, exposed to the knee. Curiosity
an polteness struggled for supremacy in
the ranks of the strangers, but the fire.
quent ganceS toward the woman riding
man fashion indicated that the former won
by more than a neck.

Conclusions of Board Investfgatfng
Charges Against Capt. Fuller.


The conclusions of the military court of
inquiry which investigated Che allegations
made by Col. Henry E. Noyes, I'd Cavalry,
that Capt. A. NJ. Fuller, I'd Cavalry, was
unfit for a command of a squadron in
that department. (Cuba) are as follows:
First. The statement of ca. Noyes that
Captain Fulers hostility to Gubans and
everything connected with their welfare is
notorious in the regiment, as he has fire.
quently and openly proclaimed it. He had
a personal quarrel with the police officials
here and resisted arrest has not been
sustained by the evidence.
Second. Capt. Fuller admits that he had
trouble with the civil authorities in Matan-
zas in August, 1900, and refused toSobey
two irregular summonses of a civil court.
Third That Col Noyes was not actuat-
ed in writing the letters of March Is and
%. 1901, by any one of the reasons given
by Capt. Fuller pertaining to occurrences
prior to the arrival Of the "a Cavalry in
Cuba, but by his opinion that Capt. Fuller
was hostile to Cubans.
Fourth. That the opinion of Col. Noyes
is the only thing brought in evidence to
show that Capt. Fuller is not competent to
command post in this department, in
which opinion the court does not concur.
Fifth. That no further proceedings are
necessary in this case"

p, owed by Maj. Gen. Wood. commanding

Send 1t Back.

To the Editor Of The Evening Starr
AS our government In the late unpleas-
antness has posed as the friend Of China
and denied the charge Of joining in the
looting that has confessediy been carried
on there, I was surprised to read in the
press the statement that the lock Of the
main gate Of the sacred city had been sent
here, and that, too. by a missionary How
he came by 1t is not explained, but 1t is
surprising that when once in his possession
he did not follow the Scripture Injunction
to Give unto Caesar the things which are
Caesar's' and at once return It to the
Chinese officials. No doubt this lock, like
all things connected with the sacred city,
is venerated by the Chinese, and Its return
especially by a missionary would not only
have impressed the Chinese with a deep
sense Of American justice, but have gone
far to create a more friendly feeling to-
ward the missionaries. The retention Of
arms and similar articles captured In battle
is legitimate and proper, but to appropriate
and take away an article Of that kind
strikes me as the meanest kind of an act,
for 1t has no intrinsic value and Is utterly
useless to the captors, unless it be to sell
1t as old junk or a curiosity. The govern
ment should send it back at once.

International Status of Japanese.

From the Yorodzu Choho Japan.
Two decades ago the Japanese wanted
to shut the door against foreign intrusion.
Today foreigners do the same thing against
US. In Canada and Australia the anti
japanese feeling runs especially high In
the latter country the emigration of our
Countrymen has been severely restricted
so that the Japanese who had been en-
gagged in pearl fishery in Thursday Island
were obliged to give up almost the whole
OF their business. A protest against such
an arbitrary measure ought to have been
lodged in by our government. but as far
as We know no such thing was done. We
are, therefore. rather surprised to learn
from an Australian paper that the Japan
ese government is claiming a full recogni-
tion Of the position its people have attain
ed. In other words. our government is re-
ported to have claimed that they cannot be
looked upon ASiatic in the ordinary
sense Of the word: that they are now
among the foremost powers. and that If
japanese come to Australia they must be
as free from restrictions as the people of
any other power who come to that coun-
try This is exactly what our government
ought to speak to the Australian govern
ment, but 1t is not probable that any such
protest was ever sent forward by the shy
and inactive foreign office In Tokyo.

Emilio Zurbano of Tabayas province has

Mia paper just received at the War De-

been a rather theatrical insurrectionist
and to have sworn to fight the Americans

does not take the Filipino's announcement
seriously, and generously warns him that

Plans for the Poultry show.

The recently organized Washington Poul-

last night to iurther consider the plans
for holding a poultry and pigeon show
here during five days In November next.
1t was suggested to add exhibits of Bel

fractions, and this viii probably be adopted.
1t is also likely that incubators will be
opened during the show in Matching chick
ems to be distributed to patrons.
A number of new members were elected

ALEJANDRINo,s SURRENDER.
Not Officially Reported, but Recorded
in Manila Newspaper.

More than a month ago press dispatches
from Manila announced the surrender Of
Alejandrino, but no official announcement
of the surrender was ever made at the
War Department. A Mania paper received
at the department prints a copy of dis
patch received at division headquarters in
the Philippines from General Wheaton,
dated April %, as .ollows:
"Alejandrino came in to Aryat and gave
himself up Internationally"
The paper adds: "The report gives no de-
tails, but says a multitude of crimes will
come to light when Alejandrino's record,
and especially those later events which
have transpired in trials of murder, are
considered. He will most probably be tried
by commission for his violation of the
laws Of war at some future date"

In a later issue the same paper points out

Claims pending before the Secretary of the

HANLON DEFEATS
JOCKEY BENNETT
Clever Bantam-W Fights
in a Remarkable
Fight.

Eddie Hanlon gained the decision over
Jockey Bennett in a four-round boxing
bout last night before the Bay City Ath-
letic Club at the Mechanics Pavilion
Annex after one of the most sensational
fights ever seen here. The two bantam
weights stood up and fought every mo-
ment of the four rounds.
When the gong sounded Bennett at once
landed some singing blows on Hanlon's
head and had him slightly in distress.
Toward the end of the round Hanlon sent
a straight left to the head, scoring a
clean knockdown. The second round COM
menced with a great exchange of rights
and let's neither youngster f1inching from
the punishment. During the round each
had the other groggy. The best blow of
the round was right swing to the face
which Bennett landed.
Jockey Bennett was knocked down in
the third round, but came strongly in the
stretch run and scored two rights to the
head.
Hanlon was the aggressor in the last
round. Bennett clinching to avoid punish
ment. He made one stand, but Hanlon
took all the punishment he could give and
lust at the end of the fight Knocked him
down. The house was in q turmoil during
the entire bout, all the spectators being
on their feet, while a surging, swaying
mob surrounded the ring. urging on the
Bob Johnson and Dick Cullen were the
first brace in the ring. They went at ii
the four rounds. Johnson was slightly
heavier than his opponent and this told
before the end Of the fight. He won on
points.
Joe Angel and Bob Thomas looked like
a part of kaleidoscope picture-arms and
legs flying about in a weird manner
Neither could hit clean blow, but they
furnished plenty of amusement for the
spectators. 1t was called a draw.
William Ingham and Jim Richards
fought four rounds, the latter getting the
decision.
Ed Martin stopped Jack Sullivan in the
fourth round. He wore down his mar
and blow in the stomach did the bust
ness. In the second round Martin had
Sullivan groggy and 1t seemed the end
was near. In the third round Sullivan
outgamed him and fought him to a stand
still. Martin came back the stronger
and won.
George Peterson gave Pete MCGEE his
customary beating. Peterson knocked
him down twice and cut him badly.
Joe Hill knocked out Jack Mcdonald In
the second round. The latter was I'M
necessarily punished. For time it seemed
a tragedy would be enacted. The referee
should never have permitted the finishing
blows to be delivered as Mcdonald was
helpless. He was long time regainine
consciousness.
James McDevitt was referee and Jim
Griffin judge.
