in the river last Saturday. The fund is
small, but it will doubtless grow when the
true heroism of "Denny' Sewell is known
The man who worked for 81 day on the
boom in the Mississippi river was Of the
stuff Of which heroes are made. 1t was no
his life for the unfortunate boy who
dragged him down to watery grave. 1t
was the act of a brave man who thought
no more Of pulling youngster out of the
river than he did of eating his dinner.
For eighteen years Denny" Sewell was
out on the logs Of the river. Every sum
mer found him there, and the
boys who went In bothing knew
him as they did the landmarks
about Akeley's mill. He was al
ways at work. happy, good natured,
never bothering them with warnings. He
was more inclined to wink at the bold
spirits that ventured near him in the
water. There was someting in those
stout little hearts that jumped with his
own, and while he knew they were risk
ing their lives, there was so much per-
sonal bravery, so much confidence and
courage in the man that he never chided
the boys He liked to see them enjoy
themselves. If he pulled out by the hair
one who was sinking for the last time,
he laughed about it, and remembered
only the glorious time the other little
fellows were having. The sad, the
wretched business of life he remembered
not at all. He was all sunshine, happi-
ness and buoyant good nature.
He Saved Many Lives.
Many stories are told of his life-saving
adventures on the river, and the number
of his rescues has been placed at from
an even dozen to fifteen. But the dead
mans intimate friends declare that the
half has not been told concerning his acts
of heroism. Every summer he saved sew
eral boys from drowning. They were
mostly poor boys, little kids" who had
ventured out beyond their depth. and
Dennis Sewell had no interest in taking
down their names, or ascertaining their
place of residence. He was interested in
paying for little home at 325 Twenty
fourth avenue N, and he had no time for
keeping records. Season after season he
watched over the boys, and every few
days would leap in just in time to save
a little fellows life. He would laugh at
the boy, caution him, andeo on about his
work. Thus he lived and died.
1t was only last summer that Mrs.
Sewell began to think seriously of the
risks her husband was running. In try
ing to save a young man he narrowly
escaped losing his own life and would
most certainly have drowned had If not
been for Policeman Ross But this did
not stop him. He was just as thought
less OF self as ever when he found helm
less person struggling in the river. When

San Francisco, Sept 27-The CONNER
cial bodies and social clubs Of San Fran

condemnation of yellow journalism, as
represented here by Hearst's Examiner.
The heaviest blow dealt to this newspaper
was given yesterday at joint meeting of
all the large commercial organizations of
San Francisco, at which stinging resolu-
tions were adopted rebuking the Examiner
for its course in melting class hatred and
stimulating that anarchistic sentiment
which led to the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley. The resolutions also pro-
vide for the exclusion of the Examiner
from all newspaper files within the con-
troll Of the organization and the barring
out Of its reporters from all newspaper

President Roosevelt wants to secure the
friendship Of southern republicans. He
wants to be in position to control on
his own account, the delegates Of the
southern states to the next national con-
vention, and there is no reason to doubt
that he will take measures to distribute
the patronage in such a manner as to de-
prive Santor Hanna of all power and in
fuence south of Mason and Dixon's line.
Under President Mckinley, Hanna was
the sole distributor Of southern patron
age, and he made use of this distinction
to hold the republican organizations of
the south where he could make use nf
them at his pleasure. 1t is conceded that
the Ohio senator will make no attempt to
retain his hold ON the southern delegates.

Next Week.
Washington, Sept. 27.-As usual, Ad-
miral Dewey lost no time to-day in bring
ing the Schley court of inquiry to order.
Captain Lemly and Mr.. Hanna, the navy
departments representatives, had been in
the courtroom for an hour or more pre-
pairing the details for the days work.
They consider the present stage of the
proceedings an important one, requiring
the most careful attention. Captain LemIy
estimates that he will be able to con-
clude the presentation of the governments s
side by the close of next week He SAYS
he will have about fifteen or twenty more
witnesses to introduce.
One of the most regular attendants upon
the court is William H. Stayter, the at
torney who is understood to be prepared
to represent other naval officers than Ad-
miral Schley. He sits outside and does not
in any way participate In the proceedings.
He said yesterday that so long as Admiral
Sampson is kept out Of the case he will
have nothing to say.
Carpenters Up His Testimony.
To-day's session began with the recall
OF Captain Wise to make verbal changes
in the official copy of his testimony. He
altered his previous statement concerning
the order of the navy department of Nav
20, 1898, in which he was directed to lin
form every vessel off Santiago that the
flying squadron is off Cienfuegos," saving
that he desired to correct his response
to the courts question as to WHY this
order was not carried out, by stating that
1t had been carried out
The flying squadron was ordered to
proceed with all possible dispatch he
said, and added. l did not desire to in
form the commodore of the flying squadron
of his own movements The order was 10
inform commanders of the movements of
the flying squadron.
The court then asked:
did you direct Captain Sigsbee to give
Commodore Schley the information con
tanned in the dispatch from the navy
department regarding the whereabouts of
the Spanish 1eet?"
Il did not"

Cienfuegos he had been on picket duty
two miles from shore on the night of

the squadron with two red lights in case

This message was never received by
Secretary Long. Instead a message was
received from Admiral Sampson which an-
nounced that the squadron under his COM
mand had destroyed the Spanish fleet and
presented it to the American people as
Fourth of July gift. The reason Ad-
miral Schley's message was not sent will
probably be brought out at the court Of
'nquiry.
According to the story current to-day,
admiral Schley ordered his flag lieuten-
mt, Sears, ashore with a message an
bouncing the capture of the Spaniards.
At the cable Office he was overtaken by
Lieutenant-Commander Staunton of Ad-
niral SIMPSONS staff, who stopped Ad-
