holds the course OF Commodore
Schley in every particular, and gives
full credit, as senior officer of the
feet at the time of the battle, 'for
the glorious victory which resulted
in the total destruction of the Span
ish ships" 1t declares that Commo-
dore Schley proceeded with all dis
patch both to Cienfuegos and to San
tiago, the Commodore having in
mind the integrity of his fleet; that
the blockade Of both points was eff.
fective, when the condition of the
coal supply was taken into consider

Adula through the blockade line at
Cienfuegos was permittedin the hope
OF getting information as to the

met in st. Joseph and Mayor Combe

great cities that was redeemed. And
J ow we'll the city had prospered and
grown under Republican rule and all
that. And now comes The comptr0fl-
er Of the city and gives in his report,
saying the city is $40, $685. 3 in debt
and not enough money to pay the 3
cents. And this, too, with the kind
and gentle leaves filing up the deep
holes in the streets and alleys, and
every department in that Republican
blessed city without funds to carry
on it's business. This is too bad that

ENGLAND TAKING UP SKAT.
This Game of the German students
Is Likely to Become Yer,
Popular.

Every two or three years the smart
SCI of London goes mad over some new
amusement. Five or six years ago it
was skating on real ice, which, for the
matter of that, is still very popular.
Then came the war. The young men
went TO the front and the women fol-
lowed them, at a safe distance. The
talk was all about hospital ships, lint
and bandages and the delights of nurs-
ing pale, interesting soldiers.
4 reaction set in and society began
to learn bridge and play it feverish-
ly. No more talk of the war. Last
season the craze reached its height.
Luncheon parties were made up, after
which bridge for high stakes went on.
with a pause for dinner, into the small
hours.
Now a new game, new at least to
Overwhelmingly, skat, the great
game of the German corps student
is being introduced into England. 1t
looks as if it would be taken to kindly

cred the best game for two, whist for
four and poker for five, so skat is the
most interesting game for three.

does not know how he went to Atlanta
or how he obtained the money to pay

there.
White was employed in Chicago in

Carnegie's Plans Modified.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Andrew Car
negie is in Washington, and it is ex'
pected he will call on the president
to-day with view to modifying his
offer of S10,OO0,0O0 for a national
university, SO as to make its consid-
GRAFTON less embarrassing.
1t is understood that Mr.. Carnegie
is prepared to increase his offer to
$25, 100000 if that amount shall be
deemed necessary.
The original offer OF $10,O00,O0O
was in bonds of the United States
Steel corporation, not to be turned
into money for fifty years. To ac-
cept the bonds would make
the government stakeholder in the
steel concern. 1t is understood Mr..
Carnegie is so deeply in earnest that
he is willing to thange his offer to
almost any reasonable form.

SERIOUS CHARGES BROUGHT.
Indictment Brought for Killing of Boy
Years Ago.

Fort Worth, Tex, December 10
A serious charge was preferred
against Pat Garrett, the newly nomi-
mated collector of customs at Ell Paso,
this morning.
A man named Glenn consulted
States Attorney Latimore relative
to the length of time the statute of
limitations runs against a murder
charge. Being told there was no
limit to prosecution, Glenn wanted to
prefer charges of murder against Gar
rett, saying he had killed boy in
west Texas, on the border of Cass
and Knox counties, years ago.
Those we're wild times then, and
nobody thought much of the affair,
but now that Garrett is a national
character, Glenn said he thought it
his duty to make the facts known.
Latimore advised Glenn to go to
west Texas and prefer his charges.
The boy once lived near Arlington,
this county.

WANTS INDIANS TO FARM.
Miss Reel, superintendent OF Indian
schools, Thinks RedmeR Should
TIL Their own Land.

Miss Esctelle Reel, superintendent
of Indian schools, takes the position
in her annual report that, as the In
dian owns his own land, he should be
taught to do his own farming, in pref
erence to his old-time custom of rent
ing to his industrious white neighbors,
and living in idleness. This idea in
stilled into the red man will be a long
step toward actual reform. Attention
Is called to the fact that the first gov
eminent appropriation in 1919 was but
$4,000, while during the last year the
sum of S3,244,25o was expended for In
dian schools, and the total number of
pupils enrolled was nearly $4,000.
A gratifying feature of Indian edu-
cation as indicated by the report, is
the rapid growth Of industrial train
ing methods in the Indian schools.
Practical industrial training, with
elementary literary studies applica-
BILE to industrial work, should make
the Indian a useful citizen, and this is
the aim of the Indian school service
under its present management, Speak
ing of agriculture, Miss Reel says:
mo occupation will so soon dispos-
sess the Indian of his nomadic instincts
and fix upon him permanency of habi.
tation as agriculture. Tilling of the
soil will necessarily oblige him to re-
main in one spot, and the performing
of certain duties at proper times of
the year will instill into him the ne
cessity for systematic work and for
giving attention to details. To make
any real progress the Indian must have
home wherein will center all his
interests, hopes and ambitions, and
a home on farm will best fill these
requirements. As there is no field in
which he can so readily contribute to
his own support, he should not only be
encouraged, but urged, to cease leas.
ing his allotment, to cultivate more
acres, raise better crops, and live the
thrifty independent life that falls to
the lot of tillers of the soil"

Nat Goodwin addressed the Play.
goers' club at London the other night
on the subject of ''The American In
vasion." He said that there was reci-
procity between the American and
British dramatic worlds, but English
actors generally came home laden with
dollars. He instanced the case Of
Macready and others. and said that al
most all of the American actors in
England shared the fate of Forrest,
who went home with only dead en-
.6lem Of leaves suggesting his name.
Several Americans had lost heavily on
the London season, some $4,000 and
others $125,00 On that point he could
speak with authority, though he was
. not anxious to claim credit for hisex-
periences; indeed, he wished he were
less well informed.
