THE MATE AND
THE FRESHMAN
Officer of the Louisiana Guilt
Yates Trouble With One
Mcnamara.

| Mate Rogers of the bark Louisiana is
! in trouble, and one Mcnamara is
nursing broken head, in the same
connection.
Yesterday morning Mcnamara Wis
| tied the police station and wanted Rog-
ers arrested on charge of murderous
assault. A warrant was issued and in
due time Rogers was locked up.
At the station the mate of the Louis
lana stated that on Sunday while he
was asleep in his cabin, Mcnamara
entered and went through his clothes,
extracting therefrom 81 in silver. Rog-
ers. awakening suddenly made a grab
at Mcnamara and severely pummelled
him, topping off the Christening with a
Delaying pin, when the man with the
Hibernian appellatiOn refused to leave
the vessel. Bail was fixed at 500
which was furnished and the case will
come up in the District Court this
morning.
Rogers created good deal of amuse
ment at the police station by the way
he told his story. Said he:
Yes, / struck him, and though I'm
but little man, when L hit, something
has to go: lip, or an eye, or an ear,
or a nose or something else. Obi but
I'm hitter; look at the corns on my

case, has interviewed Judge Wilcox |

STORY WITH A POINT
How Tom Johnson Rose from Oh
scurity to Power.
He Was Faithful to the Little Trusts
Commit ed to His Care and Won
the Confidence of His
Employers.

The man who was recently elected
mayor of Cleveland, O., Familiarity
known as ''Tom Johnson" when at
the age of IA lived in Louisville, KY,
and secured employment as an office
boy at two dollars a week in foun-
dry. His duties consisted of keeping
the office clean, running errands and
picking up odd scraps that got into
other peoples way.
B. du Pont, who was part owner of
the foundry, saw the industrious office
boy rush one day into the street, pick
up bit of iron, and, returning, threw
it onto the scrap heap inside. When
the boy reentered the office Mr.. du
Pont said to him:
''Why did you do that, my son?"
"Why, sir" said Tom, bit embar-
raised, there was no use wasting it.
They can put it in the furnace and use
it over again"
swell, l just think I can use you,
young man, in the street car business.
How would you like to come at seven
dollars a week?"
Young johnson, says the Chicago
Daily Sun, accepted the five-dollar
raise with alacrity. Mr.. du Pont con-
trolled the Fourth avenue and Walnut
street lines. One barn was at Eigh-
teenth and Walnut streets, and at
Fourth avenue and Main street was the
drawing station. All the cars of the
system had to pass there and it was
there that the money was drawn
from the big, clumsy boxes into
which the fares were dropped.
One of the rules of the company was
that as each bag of money was drawn
the drawer must carry it into the office,
put it into the safe and close the door.
To this rule Johnson owed his promo
ton from office boy.
| Mr.. du Pont was seldom at the draw
ing station during the day, and in time
the drawers grew careless. No one had
access to the room but the drawers.
and knowing one another to be honest,
they formed the habit of carelessly
throwing the bags Of money on the

by the reply to a letter which has been
sent to her family. Meanwhile she is
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Fiske War
rem. of Boston, studying American in
situations and making special efforts
to become mistress of the English Ian
yuage. She finds as much difficulty in
endenvoring to understand our socia
and economic conditions as she does
in comprehending the vagaries of our
tongue.
The senorita, says the Kansas City
Star, is pretty, after the japanese
type She is small and slight, with
light brown skin, very dark brown eyes
and wavy black hair.
The Lopez home was open to the
Americans at all times, and many of
the officers visited there. The desire
of the family is declared to have been
that war should cease as speedily as
possible.
The only members of the family not
then in the country were Sixto, who
was conducting propaganda in the
| United States, and Jose, who was
studying engineering in England. The
family was overjoyed when news came
last winter that SiXto was on his way
to Manila. 1t was their desire, it is
declared, that he should cease his work
in behalf Of independence, return to
Manila, take the oath of allegiance and
trust to the good Offices Of the Ameri-
IAN government.
In order to endeavor to persuade him
to this line of conduct, Clemencia, ac-
,ompanied by her 17-year-old sister,
Maria, journeyed to Hong-Kong to
meet him.
They sailed from Manila on Deem
Der Is. Two days before their three
brothers had been arrested. and later
confined on transport, and deported
to the island of Talim. This was uE-
known to her when she sailed. The
brothers were suspected of aiding the
insurgents, and it was charged that
when one of them, Cipriano, surren-
dered he failed to turn in so rifles be-
longing to his command. He asserted
that he had turned in all the rifles in
his possession. but information to
the contrary had been given by one
whom the members of the Lopez fam
i ly denounce as political enemy, and
that information Influenced the gov
eminent in the arrest of the three
brothers, Cipriano, Lorenzo and Man
uel.
Cemencia was in HongKong when
the news of the arrest of her brothers
was received in letter from home.
She was astounded at this turn of af-
fairs, and instead of counseling Sixto
to abandon his propae pa nda and return
to Manila, she urged him not to do so.
She then determined to appeal to the
president, and wrung from her brother
and sister their approval Of this plan,
formulated by herself.

POPULAR in BOSTON.
Senorita Clemencia Lopez Has Made
Favorable Impression.
Came to Anne rica to Plead for the Re.
lease Of Her Brothers and Was
Received Cordially By
Society.

Senorita Clemencia Lopez, sister OF
Sixto Lopez, the secretary of the COM
mission sent by Aguinaldo to Presi-
dent Mckinley, and daughter of one of
the oldest, weathiest and most aristo-
cratic families in the Philippines, is,
in her self-imposed exile, an interest
ing study to Bostonians. And Bos-
tonians are an interesting study to
her; for she is keen observer and has
found time to incidentally do much in
addition to her effort to induce the
pres ident to release three of her broth
ers from what she considers unjust
Imprisonment. The primary object OF
her visit to the United States-the re-
lease OF her brothers-has been &C
complished, and whether through her
efforts or independent of them, is of
little moment to her. When they were
arrested, however, although there was
no formal trial, the family estates
were searched, the rice houses sealed
by order of the military authorities,
the title deeds and other family papers
seized, and steamer and sailing YES
sci owned ~ the FANNY cOhllscateu.
The government has offered to re-
store these properties, but the men,
bers of the family in the Philippines
refuse to sign receipt for them until
they can be assured that everything
| that was taken has been returned.
that damages have been repaired, and
that compensati ton has been rendered
according to army rules.
If these questions between the mem
bers of the Lopez family in the Phil
ippines and the military authorities
cannot be satisfactorily adjudicated
there, it is not unlikely that the girl
will add to her mission the task Of
another appeal to the president.
Her movements in this direction, as
we'll as the length of her stay in this
country, will probably be determined
