among those that suffered severe
losses in battle.
On the 18th of May, 1864, he was
discharged with his regiment at
Pittsburg, Pa, by reason of eXplra-
ton of term of service, and on July
Q following reenlisted the service as
second lieutenant of campany K, One
Hundred and Ninetythird Pennsyl-
vania volunteer infantry, and on Oc-

signed to duty at Baltimore, where
he had the honor of guarding the
body of the martyred president when
it lay in state in Baltimore. On
June II, 1865, having barely reached

charged from the service by reason
of the close of the war.

DR.. Virchow held in his own land.
1t is not often that a nation ex-
presses it's affection for living hero.
1t is reported in Berlin that the
kaiser himself will be present at the
celebration and that he has in store
a beautiful gift.
Rudolph Virchow was born Oc'
tober 13, 1921, at Schievelbein, a small
town in Pomerania. He was educated
at the gymnasium in Berlin, gradu-
ating at the age of 18. He then
began his medical studies and was
graduated from the University of
Berlin in 1s43. From the beginning
of his medical career to the present
day he has been in the habit of oc-
casiorally startling the scientific
world with some new discovery or
theory.
The study of disease ne made a
special feature of his work, and the
volumes which he has written con-
cerning his Investigations in this di-
rection are among the most valua BILE
which the modern school of med
icine has at it's command. His con-
ception of cellular processes intro
duced wholly new and most fertile
ideas as to all the phenomena of
disease.
This invaluable contribution to
pathology would alone have made
him famous, but his researches in
other fields have produced equally
brilliant results. In 1856 he was ap-
pointed professor of pathological
anatomy at Berlin, and this position
he still holds.
In political life Prof. Virchow has
also been an active figure, and he
has been brave and outspoken lead
er on the side of progress and lib
erality.
At one time he had Bismarck as an
opponent, and the controversy be-
came so heated that it was rumored
the scientist and the iron chancellor
were to fight duel, but this never
occurred. He was for many years
member of the municipal council
of Berlin, and it is due to his int1u-
ence that the sanitary condition OF
that and other German cities has
been so much improved. His political
activities he never allowed to inter-
fere, however, with his scientific pur-
suits, which he always regarded as
his proper and serious labor, al
though he often said that it seemed
more like recreation to him than
work.

HAS 4 FINE RECORD.
Admiral Ramsay, Third Member OF
the Schley Court.
Was Not Engaged in the Spanish war
and Has Never Expressed an
Opinion Satisfactory to
Both Sides.

The vacancy in the Schley court OF
inquiry, caused by the retirement OF
Rear Admiral, Howison, who was chal-
lenged for cause, has been filled by
the detail of Rear Admiral Francis
M. Ramsay, retired.
In the selection of Admiral Ramsay
the department adhered to its orig
inal purpose of securing an officer
who had not been actively Identified
with the Spanish war. Admiral Ram
say retired four years ago last April
and has made his home in Washing
ton.
Admiral Ramsay, was the imme'
date predecessor of Admiral Crown
inshield as chief of the navigation
bureau of the navy department. He
was born in the District of Columbia,
but was appointed from Pennsylva-
MIA to the naval academy as midship-
man October S, 1850. When the civil
war broke out he was lieutenant on
the sloop of war Saratoga in the Al
rican squadron, but as soon as ne
became lieutenant commander, in
lOOs, Ic was lAdASACAA GU W >AAN ~'AA~

the ircnc]ad Choctaw took part IN
nearly all of the naval engagements
in the lower Mississippi and Yazoo
rivers. With battery of three
heavy guns mounted on scows he par
ttcipated in the siege of Vicksburs
and later was placed in command OF
the third division of the Mississippi
squadron. His record is full of en-
gagements with guerrillas and confed-
crate batteries, and of expeditions
headed by him up the Red river, the
Black river and elsewhere, in the
Mississippi and gulf waters. He was
transferred to the North Atlantic
squadron in '64 and '65, in command
of the Unadilla, and was in the thick
est of the fight at Fort Fisher, Fort
Anderson, the Cape Fear forts and
finally at the capture of Richmond.

TO COMBAT ANARCHY
National Prison Congress Will En-
gage in the Work.
Mai. McClnughry, Once Chicago'a
Police Chief, Talks About His
Experience with Emma
Goldman and Others.

The national prison congress which
meets at Kansas City beginning No.
vember 9, will make anarchy the para
mount subject of discussion. The con-
gress is composed of wardens, chap
lains and other prison officials. 1t is
one of the most important bodies of it's
kind in the world. 1t will be attended
by the most noted phrenologists and
Grimm ologists of America. The meet
ing will last for several days, and the
death of the president at the hands OF
an anarchist will make the question of
anarchy the supreme topic of discus
sion, and without doubt the discus
sions and conclusions of the Kansas
City sessions will have great weight
in the international disposition to do
away with anarchy and the followers
of that melancholy and perverse sys-
tenn of thought.
Maj. r. w. McClaughry, former
chief of police of Chicago, and now war;
den of the federal prison at Fort Leav-
enworth, was at the Midland hotel at
Kansas City the other day, and with
him was L. D. Drake, superintendent
of the reformatory at Boonville. 1t
was these two men who were largely
instrumental in securing for Kansas
City the convention of the prison war
dens.
It will be recalled that Maj. Nc
Claughry was chief of police in Chi
cago a few years after the hanging of
the anarchists there, following upon
the Haymarket tragedy. Anarchy
was rife in that city. Maj. Nc
Claughry then knew the Goldman
woman well, as he knew intimately
the several score active anarchists of
that city, who formed the tiger-like
central group" In his capacity as
chief of police he had to deal with
their rawlings, their public meetings
and their plottings. After the worlds
fair, in 1898, he resigned his office to
take charge of the Illinois reforma-
tory. For several years Maj. Nc

naval academy, chief of the bureau
of navigation, ordnance work at the
navy yards, and various ship COM
mands, including the Boston, one of
the first vessels of the new navy. In
1889 he became commodore, and in
the same year was appointed to the
navigation bureau as chief, posi-
tion filled by him until the date of
his retirement-April 5, 1897, with 16
years and months sea service.
Admiral Ramsay succeeded Admiral
Sampson as superintendent of the
naval academy, and he esta blished SO
many important reforms in the insti-
tuition that his administration is es-
pecially noteworthy in it's history.
His term covered period of five
years and was marked by one of the
few rebellions which have every hap
pened at the naval academy among
the cadet battalion. Admiral Ram
say displayed great frmness and the
culprits were made to suffer heavily.
The revolt was remarkable because
It involved the first or highest class,
of the naval laws, and rendered every
cadet liable to dismissal. Instead of
losing their commissions, all the
members of the class we're impris-
oned on the station ship Santee, de-
prived of all privileges and other
wise made to pay the penalty of
righteousness. The cadets insisted
at the time, when questioned why
they rebelled, that Admiral Ramsay
had ordered all of their heads shorn
in order to procure hair for the NOR
tar used in building a new residence
for the superintendent. The real rea-
son was objection to some order of
the superintendent.
During Admiral Ramsay's admins
tration at Annapolis congressional
investigation was talked of, owing to
reports that Cadet Strang had been
killed by hazing and that his tor
mentors had rolled him down hill in
q barrel with spikes driven through
the sides. strang died from other
causes, and it was clearly proved by
investigation that he had never been
haZed.
In the early part of the 7o's Ad-
miral Ramsay was naval attache at
London. He afterward commanded
the Trenton, then one of the finest
ships of the navy, which was later
lost on the shores of Samoa during
the great hurricane of 1889.
Admiral Ramsay was married 26
years ago to Miss Mcmahon, sister
of Judge Martin Mcmahon, of New
York city, and has one son, Paymas-
ter NJ. NJ. Ramsay, in the navy.
A well-preserved man of 66 years
of age, with delicate, refined features,
and clear gray eyes, and an erect
bearing, Admiral Ramsay still bears
the reputation which he earned many
years ago, of being one of the hand
soonest men Of the navy.

Claughry has been warden of the Fort
Leavenworth penitentiary.
Il know Emma Goldman" he said to
Kansas City Times reporter. "She is
a very ladylike person; finely edu-
Gated, of prepossessing appearance
and a person of power. In Chicago
we then tried not to dignity the an
archist movement by making arrests.
We simply watched them and pre-
served order at their meetings. There
were then about rs or 80 leading an
archists in the central group, and prob
ably 5000 to 5000 in the city.
'Something will have to be done to
control the anarchists. OF course,
after the lamentable death of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the question of an
archy will assume a paramount place
in the discussions of the prison con-
gress."
Both Mr.. Drake and Maj. Nc
Claughry were vehement in their as
pensions against anarchists. They
said the sessions of the Kansas City
prison congress might evolve plan
that would be practicable to handle
these enemies of society. At all events,
the deliberations of the congress will
have much weight in the earnest dis
cussion of the matter, and inasmuch
a. this will be the first formal body of
its kind to take the matter up, it cal
readily be foreseen that its delibera-
tions and conclusions will attract
world wide attention,
About 300 delegates from penal and
reformatory institutions all over the
country will attend the congress.
Many others who are interested in
prison reform, in the subject of an
archy and like Questions, are also ex-
pected to be present. The congress
will convene on Saturday, November
9. and will last until the following
Wednesday.
Mr.. Drake and Maj. McClaughry said
that probably one question to be con-
sidered was that of admitting news
papers into jails and penitentiaries.
Heretofore they have been rigidly ex-
cluded, except in those instances
where they were admitted after they
had been ''expurgated" of all criminal
news. The idea is growing steadily to
let prisoners have the papers. The
'.lock step" will also be considered.
In discussing the presidents death,
= Maj. McClaughry said he had observed
that eastern newspapers had sug-
eested that Senator wellington. Of
Maryland, should be impeached for his
unfortunate remarks about the Presi-
dent. Maj McClaughry suggests that
the senator be ostracized by his col
leagues. If they were to "cut" him,
and address or deal with him only when
absolutely necessary. his punishment
would be- supreme and sufficient.

When summer began this year Pope
Leo, according to custom, left his
apartments in the vatican and went to
the quaint Old building which is known

which has long been favorite summer
residence of the successors OF st.
Peter.
The tower was constructed in the
fifteenth century, and is situated on
the northern side of the vatican hill.

Pope Leo. Furthermore, the air here
is cool and bracing, and the pope's ply
sician is confident that it will aid
greatly toward maintaining him in his
normal good health.

Dogs Taxed.

Two resolutions were adopted by the
board of equalization which will add
considerable property to the assess
ment rolls of the state. One instructs
county auditors to list all private
banks, on which no report has been
made, at their proper valuation, and
see that they are assessed for this
years taxes. There are thirty-nine
such banks.
The other resolution had to do with
dogs. Where no returns have been
made upon them, county auditors are
advised to place all on the tax list at
a valuation of IS each. Benton and
Goodhue counties were each raised 400
per cent, while Carver and Fillmore
CANNES were increased $50 per cent
each. Dakota county was given an in
crease 25 per cent.

ESCAPED Assessment.

The schedules which have been sub
mitted to the state board of equaliza-
ton discloses the fact that there are
eighteen private banks in Minnesota
which have not been assessed. They
will all escape the burdens of taxation
for this year at least, for the board is
powerless in the matter. There is no
way to reach them. The board has no
power to order the assessment of a
piece of property which has not been
assessed; it can only raise or lower the
assessments made by the assessors.
The assessors were subjected to Sc
we're criticisms by the members of the
equalization board as the list of banks
not reported nor assessed was read.
Child Labor.
The state labor bureau has COM
menced campaign in this state
against the employment of children
under 16 years of age during the nine
months of the year when school is in
session, which it is believed will work
radical reform in this direction.
The agents of the bureau have been
very active for the past few months,
and the result is that for the first time
in their history the department stores
of the twin cities are advertising for
cash boys. The telegraph companies
and the large factories have been thor
oughly investigated by the bureau and
several hundred children formerly en-
ployed all the year round by these con-
Germs have been sent to schools.

PUBLICITY! PUBLICITY! PUBLICITY

At yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Health some of the members deplor-
ed the publicity which was given the
latest leper scandal, on the ground that
it might hurt the Islands. Secrecy has
been the motto of past Boards and we
cannot see that enough good has come
from the practice to warrant the pres
ent Board in continuing it. Indeed, the
only desirable things that have been
done for year in connection with the
defence of the public from the most
awful of human diseases, We're the re-
suits of publicity as wide as the cir
culation of the Advertiser.
Before last summer, when this paper
made it's plain protest, it was the GUS
tom of the Board of Health to let the
friends of lepers go to Molokai at least
annually and mingle with the rotting
inmates. On the last visit of the Board
of Health the disgusting spectacle was
seen of men and women who live and
labor in Honolulu and mingle in daily
life with it's inhabitants, hugging and
kissing the victims of the Scourge. The
Board took the sight as a matter of
course; some of it's members had seen
the same things for years and had
perhaps wondered, in a casual way,
why leprosy still made it's ravages.
But the Advertiser, with an eye to the
reform of an obvious abuse, gave the
affair the utmost publicity; and as a
result the social intercourse of the
clean and unclean at Molokai is now
divided by a grating. So much for
publicity!
Does anyone suppose that, if the press
had not opened UP the matter of the
hack transfer of lepers the other night,
the Board would have taken the action
that it did? Publicity compelled
remedy; it aroused the Board and
scared off the hackmen; and hereafter,
it is safe to say, there will be no more
running about with lepers in public We
hicles.s A publicity which brings about
such reforms is a pretty good thing to
have in this town.
Now when the Board of Health fun
igates steamers that bring lepers here
and stops the practice of friends of
lepers bidding them fond farewells on
the wharf when the Molokai trips be-
gin-farewells that have to be fairly
torn apart-the public will see further
benefits from the Advertisers remedy
of stopping public abuses.

Colorado's loyalty to Organism has
been playing the mischief with its
prosperity. In his inaugural address
Gov. Thomas said that the credit of
the state had been exhausted and that
bankruptcy was in sight. His remedy
was to change the incidence of taxa
ton. It is obvious, however, from the
experience of other states after drop
ping Organism, that If Colorado had
come out strongly after 1896 for con-
sentative measures of finance, capital
would have poured in and created so
many new sources of revenue that the
people would now be well-to-do and
content. But Colorado chose to stand
by silver and abuse the good men,
whereupon the. rich investors kept
away from there and went by to more
hospitable localities. Now, in the very
