REAR ADMIRAL KIMBERLY DEAD,
Never Eva6ed Duty During His
Naval Career of Ffty-f:Ve
Years,

Washington, Jan. 29.-The navy &C.
partment was informed Of the death
from heart disease Of Rear Admiral
Lewis A. Kimberly (retired) at West
Newton, Mass.
Rear Admiral Kimberly was one Of
the officers first appointed on the
Schley court OF inquiry last summer
He was compelled, however, to de-
cline the duty on account Of his
health. His reluctance to evade any
duty was shown by his pathetic state
ment to the secretary of the navy
that this was the first duty to which
he had been assigned that he had
failed to obey in his whole naval
career Of SO years.
His place on the court was taken
by Rear Admiral Howison, who was
tions made by Admiral Schley's coun-
sci: HoWison was then succeeded on
the court by Admiral Ramsey.
Admiral Kimberly had long and
distinguished service in the United
States navy. He was born in New
York and appointed from Illinois, en-
terlng the naval service in 1916.
In 1850 he served on the coast of
South Africa. He was assigned in
1852 to the western gulf blockad-
ing squadron. AS a lieutenant COM
mander he was ON Admiral Farra-
quits flagship, the Hartford, 1S62-64.
1t was not until 1884 that he received
his commission as commodore. His
promotion to rear admiral came three
years later, in 1887 when he was as
signed to the command of the Pacific
station. He retired before the begin
ming Of the Spanish war.

BEET SUGAR MEN OPPOSE IT.
Claim Cuban Reciprocity Movement
is In the Interest Of the
Sugar Refiners.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Cuban
reciprocity hearings were resumed be-
fore the ways and means committee,
with delegates representing the beet
sugar industry of Colaroda and a mum
Der OF Cupans, representing the plant
ers OF the iSlana, in attendance. F. h.
Carey, Of Colorado, spoke Of the de-
velOpment CT the beet sugar industry
Of Colorado AID its bright prospects,
if not endangered by Cuban conces-
siOns, which, he asserted, would re-
dound to the great advantage of the
American Sugar Refining Company.
A bubble which had been pricked,
he said, was that Cuba was suffering
from starvation. This idea had been
industriously encouraged by the
pamphleteering of the sugar compa-
ny and yet the claim had been torn
TO pieces during these hearings.
Representative Hopkins said Mr..
Carey's assertion OF injury to the beet
'ugar industry was only an assump-
ton and he expressed a belief that a
reduction could be made OF a certain
percentage. without destroying the
beet sugar industry.
Representatives Dalzell, and eros.
venor took part in the discussion. stat.
ing that the industry to the domes-
tic producers had been shown by
this and other witnesses. Mr..
Grosvenor remarked that any one
could see this result, who could put
two and two together.
F. B. Machado, head of the Cuban
delegation of planters, said in part:
The Plat amendment, attached as
an appendage to our constitution

to such extent that we are powerless

for dealing with outsiders are closed

swered Mr.. HObart's complaint, which he
published in local paper, and asked the
principal certain questions about the
morality of the lectures which H. o.
Havemeyer is now giving to the town
weekly.
Mr.. Ray says that the large attend
ance at his entertainments and the small
attendance at the free lectures are the
principal motives OF the attack of the
school principal. but this Mr.. Hobart and
his friends stoutly deny.
The women of the place. headed by Mrs.
Washington Choate and Mrs. Herbert

and this week circulated a petition en-
dorsing the poster criticism of Mr.. Ho-

Mr.. Return Jonathan Meigs. one Of the
assistant clerks of the Supreme Court of

in Washington. or in the United States.
for that matter. who ever took a fall
out of President Roosevelt
1t was while Mr.. Roosevelt was presi-
dent OF ;he Civil Service Commission, in
the early nineties Mr. Meigs tells the
story OF his meeting President Roosevelt,
and according to his version it was a
meeting of Creeks.
eict MIR. Roosevelt.
One day Mr. Negs had some business
with Mr. Webster, the chief examiner of
the Civil Service Commission. He en-
Tered the building at the corner of E and
Eighth Streets. and the very first person
he met was Mr.. Roosevelt Approaching
him, MIR. Neigs asked to be directed to
Mr. Webster. As president of the board,
Nr. Roosevelt enquired of Mr.. Meigs con-
corning his business with the chief ex-
aminer. This started the fun, which, as
the result showed. was immensely en-
joyed by both.
Neither Mr.. Meigs nor Mr. Roosevelt
had the slightest idea who the other was
Perhaps it would not have altered the
course of either if they had known. Any
way it did not, judging from the brief
but pointed remarks which passed be-
tween them.
None of His Business.
On being asked for what purpose he
desired TO see Mr. Webster. Mr.. Meigs re-
piled sharply:
"We.,. / don't know that it is any of
your business, sir
But it Is my business" Mr. Roosevelt
answered, little nettled by the
abrupt manner of Mr.. Meigs.
We'll, SIR" said Mr.. Meigs, Il don't
propose to tell my business with Mr.
Webster to anyone else" and with that
he passed on and was soon with the gen.
tieman he was seeking.
Mr.. Roosevelt. while not used to such
treatment. was evidently pleased with the
business-likc manner of Mr.. Meigs. After
the latter had passed up to Mr. Web
sters office, Mr.. Roosevelt waited quietly
in the hallway for Mr.. Meigs to return
He did not have long to wait for in a
lew minutes he came down the stairs.

Stepping up to him. Mr. Roosevelt said:
We'll, | like your style of attending

business also TO know your business with
the chief examiner"
Now that ! saw Mr.. Webster and at
tended to my business ] don't mind tell
ing you what it was"

want TO enquire into your private affairs.
hut was just struck with your evident de-
termination TO see Mr.. Webster at all
hazards"
Yes, ! wanted TO see him. Mr.. Meiss
replied, and / did not have any time TO
waste in doing So.
That's all right Mr.. Roosevelt re-
piled. Il like to see a man determined on
doing what he has a right TO do"
The incident was closed and shaking
hands with the man who afterward be-
came President OF the United States, Mr.
Meigs passed out of the building and on
to his work at the City Hall.
