cood Enough for the Money.

The late Bishop Creighton OF the
diocese of London was noted for ms
|caustic wit, which engendered
wholesome awe in the minds OF most
lof the clergy. Occasionally, however,
HE found his match. During tdNr
|pf inspection the bishop once paid a
kisit to Father Stanton's church, St.
IAlban's, High Holborn. The service
Iyas not quite to his liking. and inn
knediately it was over he made sew
eral attempts to discuss the matter
with Father Stanton, who, however,
lalked so necessarily that the bishop
ound it impossible to get in word.
when seated in his carriage, how
fver, he found an opportunity to say;
n like your service, Stanton, but
lon't like your incense" Very sorry,
. ny lord, very sorry" submissively re-
ponded Father Stanton. "but it's the

King Edwards Italian Descent.

King Edward Wis Italian descent
is from the Duchess Catherine Sforza,
of Forli. who, in 1901, played Joan of
Arc in defending her husbands cas-
tie against Caesar Borgia. Her third
husband was Medici, and by him
she had a son, Giovanni, the last and
greatest of the Renaissance Con-
dotrieri. His granddaughter became
the queen of Henry Nv. of France
and her daughter the wife of Charles
I. of England. BY this union the
royal house of England could then
claim, in equal degrees, descent from
the houses of Plantagenet, Tudor,
Stuart, Navarro, Medici and Sforza.

Cotton Says Admiral Worried Over
Fleets Coal Supply.
Washington, Sept. 26.-Two new wit
nesses were introduced In the Schley
court yesterday. They were Admiral
Cotton, who as captain commanded the
auxiliary cruiser Harvard, and Captain
Wise, who commanded the auxiliary
cruiser Yale during the Spanish war.
Both these vessels were used as scouts
and both came up with the flying
squadron off Santiago on the 9th Of
May, before the retrograde movement
to Key West was begun.
Admiral Cotton testified that he had
gone aboard Admiral Schley's flagship.
the Brooklyn, on that date to take dis
patches to him and he said at first that
he gave him four or FIVE dispatches
addressed to the commander Of the
squadron. He afterwards modified this
statement saying that probably all but
two Of these dispatches were addressed
to himself (Admiral Cotton), but that
they contained information which he
thought should be in Admiral Schley's
possession. One Of these was copy Of
a dispatch from Admiral Sampson,
which had not been printed in the Of
fcial records, stating that the Spanish
feet was at Santiago. He also said
that coal could have been taken from
the Merrimac on the 27th Of May, the
day on which the retrograde movement
to Key West was begun for the pur-
pose of coaling.

TOMB GUARD ATTACKED

Soldier at Late Presidents Resting
Place Tells Thrilling Story.
Canton. O.. Sept. 3O.-A strange
story came from Westlawn Cemetery
last night, where company OF regu.
lars from Fort Wayne, Mich, are now
guarding the vault in which the body
of the late President Mckinley lies.
1t is to the effect that the guard on
duty on the top of the vault fired a
shot at one man who refused to heed
his challenge, that the shot was divert
ed by another man, who appeared from
another direction, and that an effort
was made to stab the guard.
Private Deprend was on guard duty
on top Of the vault at point COM
manding the entrance below, and the
men appeared from the rear Shortly
before 7.30 he saw what he took to be
the face of a man peering from behind
a tree about 40 feet from his post. He
watched 1t for 20 minutes, he says, and
at 7.45 saw the man hurry to a tree
10 feet nearer.
He challenged the man to halt, but
this was not needed, and the fellow
approached nearer. Deprend leveled
his gun and aimed to shoot for effect,
but just at that instant another man,
who came toward him from the oppo.
site side, caught the gun, threw 1t up,
and the bullet was spent in the air.
This same man struck Deprend on the
right side of the abdomen with knife
or other sharp weapon, cutting an "L'
cash in his overcoat an inch and a
half long each way and smaller one
in his blouse. The flesh was not
broken but was bruised under the cuts
in the clothing. Deprend in the strug
gle fell and rolled down the side OF
! the vault.
Lieutenant Ashbridge, officer f.4he
day, was in front Of the vault, Ind
rushedto the.top on hearing the dhot
but the men made good their escape
All members Of the company on hear
ing the shot hurried to the vault. and
besides searching the cemetery the
guard was increased.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-ln the Schlsy
court of inquiry yesterday letter was
presented from Rear Admiral Samp-
son, asking to be allowed to be repre-
sented in the court by counsel, Messrs.
Stayton and Campbell, but the court

ground that "the court does not at this

case"
After the court adjourned Mr.. Stay.
ton said today he would again renew
his request to be allowed to appear in
Admiral SIMPSONS behalf. He added
that the continued references to Al.
niral Sampson were offensive and
should be properly met. He further
stated that he did not regard favorably
efforts on the part Of the Judge advo.
cate to prevent exploitation Of Admiral
Sampson's part in the war. He thought
It better to bring the matter In and

NOT AN EPIDEMIC,
DR. Shaw Fears No Trouble From
Cases of Chambers.

The scare about glanders' in the city
seems to be hardly scare at ALL DIR.
Shaw, government veterinary surgeon
says there is no epidemic of CHAMBERS
and there is not likely to be. In fact
he says there have been fewer cases
of CHAMBERS this year than last year
at the same period.
Cases crop up here and there at
times" he says. This has been so
all along. But there have not been
half the cases this season as last year
at the same time. I do not think there
is more than the ordinary danger in
the situation"
The two horses found yesterday with
CHAMBERS belonged to w. A. Bowen and
p. NJ. Pond. They were killed. DIR
Shaw states that the horses had lived
here a long time, so that the disease
had cropped up right here. There was
not, he said, however, any more rea-
'son to fear spread from these cases
than from others that have preceded
them.

WAILUKU, July 1.-James Smith an
old resident of Maui, was found dead
in a stream of water between Waikiki
and Kihei this morning by several ma
tiVes who were on their wav from XII
hei to Maalaea. At about o'clock the
matter was reported to the police au-
thorities, and police officers were sent
to recover the body. Up to this writ
ing they have not yet returned. James
Smith was well yesterday as well as
Saturday, and it is stated that he made
no complaints whatever of any trou-
bic or internal pain. 1t is however
general believed that Smith was in
state of intoxication as he was strong
ly addicted to drink.
He leaves a Hawaiian wife and sew
eral children. James Smith has been
employed by the Waikiki Sugar Com

he was an old employee of that COM
pany having first been employed at
Waihee in the same capacity. Jim"
as he was always called, was one of the

his death will be deeply regretted by
