DEFENDS OFFICER KELLY.
Friend of Officer Says Tobacco Poison
 ing Made Him Irresponsible.

Friend of Officer Says Tobacco Poison ing Made Him Irresponsible. New Haven, May 2S-The charge of
 burglary placed against the name of Officer John Kelly on Sunday last is
 exciting much comment all over the city, and especially in police circles.
 The past good record of the police
 man, coupled with his always cheerful
 disposition, has always been a model
 one, and t.lus the surprise caused by his arrest is much greater As has
 been stated before, he was one of the
 most trusted men on the force and always enjoyed the good will of his superior officers, who now, even though the charge of burglary is against his name, find it hard to change their feelings toward him.
 His friends are all very reticent
 about the case, and in almost every instance refuse to have anything to say on the subject. A very intimate acquaintance of the officer last even ing said:
 'sYes; John Kelly is under arrest on the charge of burglary Why, that man would no more commit an act of that kind than would baby. His past record shows naught but honesty and good citizenship. He was, will admit, always an inveterate smoker, and was never as happy as when pull ing at good cigar
 If he did commit this act, as the barber states. he did it while under the longing for q smoke, which every smoker knows is the effect of the nico- tine. which makes a man sometimes irresponsible. The amount of cigars taken was only three or four at a time, showing thai, if he were guilty, he alone made use of them as such" Officer Kelly himself will say noth- ing at all of the affair, but just awaits his trial.

ANOTHER SMALLPOX CASE.
Henry Seymour, Aged II, of Hospital
 Avenue.

Henry Seymour, Aged IA, of Hospital
 Avenue.
 Health Officer Kilmartin expected to make good his prediction that smallpox would have disappeared from Waterbury by the first of June, but unfortunately such will not be the case. The few patients at the isola- tion hospital will be discharged in q day or so, but a new case has been discovered and no one can tell at this time whether there will be more or not. Henry Seymour, fourteen years old boy of 20 Hospital avenue is now confined at his home, stricken with the malady, and while the case is a mild one, still it will require prac- tically the same attention as if the pa tient had it in a virulent form. The only explanation given as to how the Seymour boy contracted the disease is that he took the place of Ida Bercie at the factory in OaSville when she was sent home to Wards flats to be quarantined with other members of the family who had smallpox. But one family will be quarantined on Hospital avenue.

 New York, May 2S.-There is mourn ing and apprehension in the household of Dr William McCracken, No 305 East Eighteenth street, because of the death from supposed rabies of an imported Irish setter valued at $1O.000. The death of the animal occurred on Tues day of last week, after 1t had scratched three women on their hands and had torn a hole in an apron worn by Miss Jean McCracken. q daughter of the physician. Dr McCracken is recover ing from an attack of typhoid fever.
 A week ago last Saturday it was mo- ticed that the dog was acting strangely and a watch was kept on him. The next morning the animal tore q hole in an apron worn by Miss McCracken and then Was placed ill the cellar. Dr Jackson of the New York veterinary hospital examined the dog and left or, ders that it be kept ill the cellar for few days longer. Later in the day the dog managed to get into the kitchen. where two maids were ironing under the direction of Mrs John A. McCrack- en, a daughter-in-law. The dog jumped at both maids and at Mrs McCracken. scratching all three on the hands The dog was then driven back into the eel lar and was found dead the next morn ing.
 Since the accident Mrs McCracken and the maids have been going to the Pasteur institute for treatment, but so far no serious symptoms have been no- ticed.

TIE AFTERE OuN SESSION.
Speeches by DR.. Chas. D. Mc!ver, Col. 7 9.
skinner ant L. W. Richardson

President Charles d. McIver. Of the
Industrial and Normal College of
Greensboro, was the first speaker OF the
afternoon.
DR.. McIver spoke of the possibility of
carrying children to a central school
house, where the roads were good. This
would inculcate promptness among
other things, for the children would have
to be ready just at the right time when
the vehicle Would come around.
The tendency now, ne said. was to
keep on establishing more and more
school houses. so that the term Of
schoo has been lessened. What We
want, said ne, is fewer school houses.
The spirit of internal Improvement
had seized upon North Carolina in 1860.
Back in the forties. when Dorothea Dix
came here to ask for insane asylums for
Gods afflicted, she was told that she
could do nothing in North Carolina.
The speaker then told the story con-
nected with the establishing Of the in
sane asylum on Dix's Hill. and showed
how she got an appropriation Of 500, 900
for the purpose.
In 1890 the property and the tax books
in the South showed five and a half bill
lions, and the North six ard q half bill
lion. Then came the fearful drop in the
listed property values OF the South, and
the tremendous disparity between her
lists and those Of the North.
McIver traced the gradual regain
after the war until now we stand
about where We did in 1860. He paid an
.eloquent tribute TO the way in which
these Universities had been met, and
said:
1T is no wonder that we sometimes
forget that we can levy y for schools
and roads. We have always loved liberty
and hated taxation, and no one has Yet
been able to tax the people of North
except for the purpose of Sc
curing more liberty for some one"
DR.. McIver spoke e~loquentlv Of the
Willingness oe North Cardinals people
to stand II to free Cuba. They

She sailed from Cardiff in charge Of

She lost her sails. topgallant masts.

men. try as hard as they might. nor
could others who also heard the songs.
Three men were lost from the Canada.

nouncement of the new contest will be
found in another column OF this issue

Some of the prizes in the December con-

stood, and checks have been forwarded to

DEFENDS
NAVY PRIZES
TO SAMPSON
DEPARTMENT DID NOT .DIsTRI6-
UTE PRIZE MONEY RESULTING
FROM SANTIAGO SEA
VICTORY.

WASHINGTON, jar. C.--Secretary Long
has addressed to Senator Knute Nelson, of
Minnesota, a long letter defending the ma
Wy department against what is claimed TO
be unfriendly criticism in connection with
the distribution of prize money and boun-
ty. The letter is called forth by one from
the senator, asking for information on this
point for the use of western newspaper.
The secretary declares that the criti-
cism that the department has discriminate
ed in favor of Admiral Sampson and
against Admiral Schley in the distribution
of prize money and bounty is unjust, be-
cause the department has no control over
this matter. The money being distributed
from the treasury and all questions of law
and fact relating to prize bounty having
been determined by the courts. The sec
rotary calls attention to the laws for pay
ing prize and bounty as they existed at
the beginning of the Spanish war, and
says that though advised by the attorney
general that 1t might make a distribution,
the navy department preferred to place
the matter in the court of claims and so
from displaying favoritism, adopted the
most effective means In its power to Sc
cure a just determination by courts OF
law of the rights of all concerned.
Touching the claim of Admiral Sampson
for bounty at Santiago the secretary says
that the distribution was made under a
decree of the court of claims, which he
cites. and from which no appeal was tax
en-. He further points out that under
the prize laws the commander-in-chiefo f
the fleet is entitled to his "one-twentieth"
of bounty by virtue of his position as
ccmmander-in-chief, whether he person.
ally participated in the engagement or not.
Says the secretary:
"As commander-in-chief Sampson
would therefore, under the law. have
been entitled to mis- share of the bounty
for the destruction of the Spanish ships
at Santiago II he had been on the north
shore of Cuba at the time. This was the
law, for which the navy department is no
wise responsible"
On this point the secretary says that the
department itself was the first to realize
the inequalities of this law and to make
the recommendation which led to its re-
peal so that "a rather amusing feature Of
the attacks made upon the navy depart
ment," as the secretary puts ii, is that
the administration is blamed more than
two years after 1t had cured the evil.
The secretary concludes his letter with
an abstract from the report of the auditor
of the treasury for the navy department
showing the status of the prize money
and bounty cases yet unsettled owing 10
delays in the courts, and predicting set
Element within the year.
