New York newspapers a few weeks
ago were full Of extended accounts Of
the contingent" party in that city Of
Miss Adelia Randolph, stepdaughter Of
William G. Whitney. Money was
poured out like water. Tens of thou
sands of rose buds, orchids by the
wagon loads, festive greenery in pro-
fusion and the choicest output
Of the Conservatives were used
as decoration. The music was
the highest-priced that could be
secured. Editorials have been written
justly condemning this profuse display
of wealth. The poor who huddle in
their tenements read these descriptions
and hate the rich. The ostentatious
showing makes their poor lives more
miserable by comparison. The transi-
ton from misery to viciOuSneSS is a
short one. Read Les Miserables' or a
Tale of Two Cities" and you will see
what misery wrought in France a hun
dred years ago. But there is another
side to the picture and it ought to be
shown. The purchase of the flowers
for this party gave employment to
many. The money that was spent went
into the channels of circulation. Every
dollar paid to florist and the musician
and the decorator and the drayman
helped these persons. Nor can one
envy the rich their snowy pleasures.
They entail many pains and much dis
appointed ambition. However elabo-
rate the preparation some parvenu is
likely to Guido it. Display brings it's
penalty. 1t costs more than it comes
to. Many rich man is poorer in the
things that make for happiness than
the veriest pauper.

rines. The three figures are shown in
the fghting-top of battle ship. The
blue jacket, who has just moved his
body from the shoulder piece of his
still smoking one-pounder, is watching
the result Of his last few shots, while
the young officer, catching sight Of a
chance for the rife, is pointing to an
opening for the alert marine. In the
distance, over the rim of the fighting
top are seen the Brooklyn and the
Texas-partly clouded in their own
smoke, while against the extreme left
shore line lies the blazing wreck of q
Spanish craft. The sea in the middle
distance is dashed with plunge of hos
tile shot.
The Especially meritorious service"
medal will be wreath-encircled star.
The wreath will be of laurel and the
star will bear in prominent relief the
badge of the service-the anchor. The
bands that bind the wreath will bear
the descriptive title of the decoration,
and encircling the anchor will be the
campaign designation. On the plain
reverse side of the medal will be
stamped the name and rank of rating
Of the recipient, together with brief
statement of the service for which the
medal was given. The ribbon in this
case will be red or crimson and will
fall straight down behind the medal so
that the color will show through the
openings between the star points. The
design has been made purposely SIM

Danger lies in everything. Here is
o. A. Gilbert, of Montrose, N. Y, who
Is dead from handling too much money.
He was a banker and in taking in bills
over his counter he became infected
with the smallpox, his wife nursed him
and she also took it. The result Of it
is that both of them are dead. This
is an affective circumstance and yet it
will not prevent us from continuing to

After all, the big men of America
are not the millionaires. The fellows
who are raising hogs and cattle, the
farmers and the stockmen show up in
the aggregate in way that makes the
combined fortunes of a dozen financi2-
kings look like playthings. Talk about
expanding industries if you will, but
don't forget that primarily this is a
food-producing nation. 1t grows things
to eat. It markets the substances that
humanity must have, be the times good
or bad. The market for pianos and
gold watches may become depressed.
Those who manufacture luXuries may
feel the pinch of poverty at times. But
as long as humanity eats, millions up
on millions Of money must flow to the
United States. The United States has
completed census of the domestic an
imals of the country. 1t includes horses,
mules, cattle, sheep, hogs and goats.
The total is 223, 121 1877, and the aggre-
gate value is So, 4S5, 691 ,965. The value
of cattle alone is $1,262, 2O5, 900 and Of
hogs $29S, 22S,00O. The figures are so
vast that their meaning is almost lost.
billion doesn't convey much informa-
ton to the average mind. Let's try it
another way. The aggregate value OF
live stock exceeds the total combined
value of the products Of the fields, for
ests and mines of the nation for the
past year. Prices have advanced since
the census was taken, and it is certain
that the present value of all the live
stock in the United States exceeds four
thousand million dollars. The year
1901 was the greatest in the history of
the business. Stock raisers, shippers
and packers all made money. All along
the line increases were shown. Chi
cago received over 100000 cattle, A.
100000 sheep and 100000 hogs. Kan
sas City was a close second, and Oma-
ha, Cincinnati and a dozen more cities
made fine records.

0bsequies to Be Held This Morning at
Residence of His Son.

The funeral of Capt. Philip ). Mar

enjoyed the enviable reputation of he
ing the last survivor of the old Maly-
land sea captains of that type who sail
ed the ocean in the days before steam
craft came into general use. will be
held this morning at II o'clock at the
residence of his only son. Mr.. Thomas

The following will act as pallbear-
ers: Major George Bartlett. Messrs. E.
D. Appleton, William Knox, Robert
Forsythe. Henry Merrill. and Edward
Watkins.
The death of Captain Marshall closed
a career of far more than usual in
tcrest. He was bern in Baltimore
eighty-two years ago. and while still
very small boy went to sea. His love
for a sea career was marked. and his
ability as a seaman soon became so ap
parent that he rose to the post of cap
captain of the Old Maryland stock. it
is said. was better known than Cap
tain Marshall, and his popularity among
his men was equally great.
In 1856 the old Government ship On
tario was bought by some private in
dividuals and converted into school
ship for teaching boys seamanship ard
navigation. captain Marshall became
commander of the ship and remained in
charge of the school for number of
years. He then gave up his position
and went to sea again. About twenty
years ago he retired from active SER
vice. and in 1890 he and mis- wife came
to Washington to make their home with
their only child. Mr. Thomas Marshall.
Fifty-hve years of his entire life were
spent at sea, and during nearly the
whole of that time he was master of
his own ship.
Captain Marshall celebrated the six
ty-socond anniversary Of his wedding
last April. His wife, who is eleven
months his senior. is still in almost
perfect health, and is as active as per-

Man Who Testified Against Woman

that city at the age OF sixty years. With
the exception OF John Surrat. now III
Baltimore, Prof Wiechmann is the last
witness in the memorable trial growing
out Of the assassination of President
Lincoln.
His testimony was believed at that
time to be the most important against
Mrs. Surrat. and although his evidence
was true in detail Prof. Welchmann has
always brooded over the matter. and
frequently said that his testimony was
the cause of the conviction Of the
woman and her execution on the gal
lows.
Some years ago he became possessed
of the idea that because Mrs. Surrat
was Catholic the Catholics of Ander-
son were unfriendly toward rim. and
though there was no foundation for this
belief it preyed upon him sensibly and
finally affected his health.

immigration Bureau of Treasury Re

The immigration Bureau Of the Treas

York complaint which involves legal
point not heretofore raised in connec-
tion with the alien contract labor law.
The proprietor Of a summer hotel al
Pawling. n. Y. has ;elegraphed 10 the
department that a party of fourteen
walters in his employ have been detaiu-
ed at the Ellis Island immigrant sta
ton on the ground that their admission
to the country would form violation
of the statute regarding alien contract
labor.
The hotel proprietor states that the
walters have worked for him for some
years. and. although they are not Amer
lean citizens, they have been admitted
through the pert of New York several
times It has been his custom TO en-
ploy them in Bermuda in The winter
season and at Pawling in the summer.
The walters have Just returned from
their seasons employment in Bermuda.
The Treasury officials are in doubt
whether the case forms violation of
the law or not.

The committee spent some time in
an informal discussion of the matter
and decided upon two or three things
which were thought appropriate. 1t was
thought best to have the bell on exhi-
bition during the day on Sixth Street
at some point where it could be ad-
yantageously seen. The committee will
meet at the District Building Monday
morning at g:45 o'clock. and in com
pany with the Commissioners will go to
the point decided upon to receive the
bell and welcome the committee in
charge.
On motion OF Mr.. Hopkins the COM
mittee requested the Commissioners to
direct the Board Of Education to close
the public schools on Monday afternoon
TO allow the children an opportunity to
view the bell under the general super
vision OF their teachers and principals.
Other matters were left in allegiance
for the time being, the committee ad-
journing at the call OF the chairman, Mr..
Thomas W. Smith.
II is expected that the receiving OF the
bell and the viewing of it by the school
children and others shall be as informal
as possible. The brief time allowed pre-
