A ROMANTIC CAREER.
Specu1ator and Husband of Duchess
 Us Up as Marine.

Speculator. and Husband of Duchess
 as Up as Marine.
 Brooklyn, October 10. Edward L.. Dwyer, once millionaire mine owner, promoter and bold specu- lator in u..S-, s.-.s -,.s-s, 4seA Chi cago by his daring, and whc later mar ried duchess worth millions of dol lars, sailed into the Brooklyn navy yard the other day marine on the United States transport Calgoa. Dressed in his natty sailor suit, his face bronzed by the Philippine sun, his muscles hardened by work, Dwyer looked little like a dashing speculator and husband of duchess.
 Dwyer has been in the service of the United States since July 31, 1900, when penniless, disinherited by his aged wife, tired of wandering, he went to Harrisburg and enlisted in the marine corps The term of enlistment is three years, but Dwyer has influences at work in the navy department, and there is little doubt that his early dis charge will be secured.
 Dwyer first attracted attention in 1886, then a member of the Chicago board of trade, by purchasing 100000 bushels of wheat for future delivery without depositing margins. While in New York in 1894, representing west ern mining interests, he met the Duchess de Castelluccia, whose hus- band had died only a short while be- fore, leaving her a fortune estimated at $7,000,000. She was more than 40 years older than Dwyer, but he won her, and the two were married at Rock Ridge, Fla, January 29, 1895.
 The sdchess died soon after the wed- ding, leaving the bulk of her fortune to her two children. Dwyer received s1O,Ooo.
 Dwyer then started on the road to financial ruin through speculation, and in May, 1899, he found himself pen niless. He filed petition in bankrupt cy in New York, with liabilities of $252, and no visible assets. But Dwyer within a year had organized a company with capital of $1,5oo,o 900 to develop silver mines in Zacatecas, Mexico. Apparently this scheme was not successful, and year later he was again penniless. It was then that he enlisted and was assigned to service in the Philippines.
 While Dwyer was in the Philippines he looked about him for favorable in yes tments and he thinks enterprise there will open the way to fortune. It is said that the bronzed marine will go back to the islands immediately upon receiving h;r

English Shipbuilders Now in This
 Country Getting Pointers.
 New York, October 9.-A sign of the times was the arrival at New York the other day of Sir Christopher : -.4ll ll~a-, one of the inn portant. shipbuilders and steel manu- factuTers of Great Britain. His ob- ject in coming, he declared, was that of visiting the principal shipbuilding and steel plants here to get sugges- tions for the improvement of his plants in England. He said he had not come to amalgamate or to buy or sell anything.
 Sir Christopher Furness is chairman of the boards of the Furness- Withy Shipbuilding company, the living Shipbuilding company, the Northum- berland Shipbuilding company, the Sweardale Steel company and the ply to a question regarding the Eng fish labor problem he said:
 Labor in England, especially skilled labor, is realizing that it is for it's best interest to give up the idea of limiting the, output per man and that it has much to fear from German and American competition, principally American. While in America the price of labor is higher, yet the product per man is so much greater that labor re- ally costs less"
 Are all these stories about the scare among English manufacturers over the revelation of the progress of the United States true?"
 "Yes, it almost created panic at first, but we are awake to the fact that our backs are against the wall and we must 9o ro-s s7,;-a''

ENCOUNTERED INSURGENTS.
Force of Eleven Armed Police Carried
 of at Cantanag.

Off at Cantanag.
 Manila, Oct 1O.-A detachment of the Twenty-first company of Macabebes to-day encountered a large force of in- surgents near Lipa, province of Batan- gas. Lieutenant Beau of the Maca- bebes was killed and one of the force was wounded. The enemy was strong 1y entrenched. After two hours fight ing the Americans retreated to await endorsements. The insurgents, who numbered over 300, were armed with Remington and Mauser rifles, and ap- parently had plenty of ammunition.
 A teacher at Manban, named Mar tin, was captured by insurgents while visiting neighboring town under an escort of native police. The next day his captors, relenting, tied him in hammock and carried him to point within mile of the town and released him, saying he was non-combatant.
 The entire police force of Catanag, province of Tayabas, numbering eleven, have been carried off by insur- gents. armed only with bolos. Pre- sumably the police made no resistance, as they were well armed with car pines and reyolvers.

Temperance and Civilization

Altogether there is much to be said for the theory that white domina- tion of the world may be merely a chapter of the long human story, with other and very different condi- tions to follow, but there is little in the conditions of the past, so far as they are known to us, and nothing in the facts of the present to over throw the position of those who be- lieve that unbroken tropical heat, es- pecially heat with moisture, is al- most, if n6t quite, an insurmount- able obstacle to the development and maintenance of an advanced civiliza- Chicago Ledger.

AT WORK ON MESSAGE.
President Receiving Hearty Coopera-
 ton of Cabinet.

Washington October 9-Members of the cabinet are preparing elab- crate summaries of the work in their departments, which are in- tended to be embodied-at least in substance-in Resident Roosevelt's first annual message to be submitted to congress next December. Having come into the office of chief executive late in the year, as the result of a calamity which of course could not be foreseen, the president is entirely unfamiliar with the details of the public work. Only little over two months remain before the meeting of congress, and so President Roosevelt requested the members of his cabinet to supplement- their various annual reports with com prehensive summaries, to be used in the message, either verbatim or with such condensation as may be neces- sary.
 President Roosevelt is ready and forcible writer, and the preparation of message has no terrors for him SO far as mere literary workmanship goes. He feels, however, according to members of the cabinet, natural diffidence about making report upon the work done by another and much beloved president.
 The fiscal year ended with July 1, and President Roosevelt's actual admin istration did not begin until after the period of the usual annual reports. It is believed therefore he will summar- ize these reports to large extent, so far as relates to the history of the last year. The president has already begun sketching out the message and he will have the summaries from the different departments within a short time.

An Erring Sister.

Minnie Gilbert. handsome
young woman barely 20 years old,
was taken to Leadville yesterday
by an officer who came down for
that purpose, for the theft of a
cloak, known as an electric seal
skin" which occurred in a Lead
vile dance hall some time ago.
Liquor was responsible for the
deed. according to the woman's sto-
ry. She stated that one night when
she was intoxicated, she took the
cloak from the dance hall at the
instance of a couple of male friends
who, noticing that she possessed
nothing of the kind, advised her
to hook on to the first garment OBJ
tainable She secreted the cloak
in the room of one of the men and
shortly afterward left for this city,
taking it with her. The affair was
investigated by the Leadville po-
lice, and wire sent to Marshal
Harris acquainting him with the
facts and asking him to hold her,
He received the wire several
days ago and desired, at first, to
catch her with the cloak on. but
becoming tired of waiting for the
opportunity, went over to her sis
ter's house yesterday, and gathered
in the woman and the garment.
She made no defense or denial,

stances, of course, render null and

1t almost makes one shiver even
this hot weather to contemplate the
cost of keeping warm next winter, the
price Of coal has been advanced four
times during the last four months,
and another rise is in prospect. This
is the result of the great coal COM
bine known as the Coal Trust. There
is no excuse offered, it is simply an
evidence Of the trusts ability and
willingness to squeeze the people.
This increase in the price Of coal will
mean the putting into their Golfers
an extra S25 100000. The ten per
cent. increase in wages granted to the
miners, deducted will leave them
about $40, ,OOO,0O clear profit on ac-
count of the strike. 1t is an mex
cusable outrage. Ten cents ton
rise would have met the increased
wages, and they purpose raising ten
cents ton every month, to Septem-
ber or a total raise of fifty cents per
ton, that leaves for their pockets 10
cents ton clear profit. Is this q
slap at the public for sympathizing
with strikers?
