SKELETON IN WALL.
Throws Light on Murder Mystery OF
Forty Years Ago,


A mystery of more than forty years
standing is revived, says South
Troutsburg. y. Y, correspondent of the
New York sun, by the finding in this
village of the skeleton of 4 man firmly
fastened in the wall of stephen Van
Demark's house. The wall had appar-
emily been built about the body and
the plaster closely and carefully set
around it, so that it was as well pro-
tected as if it were in a Theoretically
sealed coffin. The skeleton was stand
ing upright.
call the strange disappearance forty
years ago of Louis Schwartz. a Jewish
peddler. Schwartz came here during
the early days of the Civil War. He
had a large stock of rings. watches and
other jewelry. and he did a good busi-
ness He put up at a tavern. and ex-
posed his wares without the least wor-
ry as TO possible consequences. The
peddler went out one morning as usual
/ and never returned. When his contin-
ued absence began to cause anxiety at
the hotel it was found that he left in
his room a half-finished letter to a rela-
tive in Germany and the larger part of
his stock of jewelry. Everything looked
| lust as though the peddler had stepped
out of the room expecting TO return in
n few minutes and finish the letter.
! Search was made all over this part
Of Steuben County for the missing man.
but not a trace of him was found. 1t
was about this time that the Fox sisters
and their ''rappings" We're agitating
the people in and about Palmyra, and
il was suggested that the spirits might
lead to the detection of the murderer
of Schwartz. A man and woman
versed in spiritualistic seances were
| engaged and a number of ''sittings
were had, but although the assurance
was held forth by them that they were
hot upon the trail of the murderer, the
Spritualists never succeeded in placing
the laws hands upon the guilty one.
The people who occupied the Van De
mark premises at the time of the mur-
der have long since passed away, and
there is no one living here now who
even remembers their name, as great
many families have moved in and out.

Roosevelt E>ade. the Issue.

Mr.. Ruosevelt's address at Arlington
cemetery was an elaborate defense of
the army. full of assumed Indignation
and wrath.
Its fatal weakness lay in the as
sumption that the army needed de
fense-the assumption that anybody
whose utterances are deserving of no
tice has attacked the army as such.
Individual soldiers and their conduct
have been denounced, and the T'resi-
dent admits that they richly deserve
denunciation; the army as whole
has not been denounced, nor even the
army in the Philippines. as Mr.. Roose-
Welt assumes that it has been.
What has been denounced is the pol
icy of the Republican administration
which has made war necessary, with
all the cruelty and misery which are
the inevitable attendants of war. Criti-
cism of individual officers and men has
been merely incidental to the condem-
nation of the policy which forced them
to wage war.
This fact Mr. Roosevelt wholly ig-
nores. He assumes that war was I'M
avoidable, which is not true, as there
is the best reason for believing. All
the facts set forth in the earlier offl-
cial REPORTS show that the Filipinos
were disposed to receive us with open
arms as their deliverers from Spanish
tyranny. just as we We're the delivererS
of the Cubans.
Officers of our navy travelled eXten-
sively over the island when. outside OF
Manila. it was under no other control
! than that of the FilipinOs, and every
where they were received with the
greatest hospitality and assisted in the
/ accomplishment of their mission OF OBJ
servation.
There was no sign of hostility until
the Filipino leaders found out that II
was not the intention of the RepuD-
lican administration to treat them rs II
had engaged TO treat the Cubans, and
when after putting forth every effort
TO that end they utterly failed to Sc
cure from the representatives OF the
administration in the islands any sort
of assurance as to the political future
of their archipelago.
There is not the least reason in the
world to doubt that if proper assar'
ances had been given to the authorized
representatives of the people, ever
though they had been less complete
than those which had been given Il
I Cuba. our representatives would nave
met with no more resistance in LuZon
or in any part of the archipelago under
Taralog influence, than was encOun
tered i'm Cuba.
The policy which made enemies OF
all the Christians of the islands and
left us only pagans and Mohammedans
for friends tas Governor Taft testified
before the Senate committed plunged
us into war. But for that we would
never have needed large army in the
islands. and not Il hostile gun would
have been fired.
1t is that belligerent and imperia
policy. and not the army which has
been compelled to carry 1t into effect
to the best Of its ability. that is con
demned by all the lovers Of liberty ans
peace who understand the situation
The cruelty of which complaint has
been made Is only necessary Incl
dent of that wretched and wicked pol
icy.
That is the truth of the matter, ant

TO dodge or conceal the issue.-Chicagt
