The police removed Mr.. Bond to Providence
Hospital in the patrol wagon. In the mean
time the driver Of the vehicle responsible
for Mr.. Bonds injuries had made OF, the
police knew not where. and for a time it
seemed as though arrest would be made.
The officers at Anacostia were appealed to
in the matter and made an investigation.
which resulted late in the afternoon in Mil
ler's arrest by Sergeant w. T. Anderson,
near the District line. The men drove hard
to escape and for a while 1t was a close
race between the policeman's animal and
that driven by Miller, but the fugitives
were finally overtaken. Barrels of beer.
which they had in their vehicle, were per-
mitted to drop out unnoticed in the excite
ment. Miller exonerated his companion.
but claimed Mr.. Bond was knocked down
by accident. He was required to deposit
$25 at the station house as collateral for his
appearance In the police court, which he
did.

MRS. ELLIOTT A HEROINE.
Killed Burly Negro Who Attempted tt
Assault Her.

A dispatch from Columbia. s. c.. says:
Mrs. Mary T. Elliott, a widow living with
her only son. fifteen years old, in lonely
part Of Kershaw county, Saturday night
killed a big negro who invaded her home.
The man was powerful and weighed 21o
pounds.
Mrs. Elliotts nearest white neighbors
were half mile distant Ned" Ken
drick, the negro. a sawmill hand. lived
a few rods from her house. About mid
night pistol was fired in front of her
home and voice warned young Allen
Elliott that If he put his head out OF
his door 1t would be blown off,
Mrs. Elliott recognized Hendricks voice
and urged Allen to keep quiet Mother and
son were unarmed.
After commanding Mrs. Elliott to open
her door, Kendrlck smashed 1t in with
an ak. He stood in the doorway brand
ishing his pistol. and told the terrified
woman that her life and the life of her
son depended on her yielding to him.
Suddenly the door between her room
and Aliens was thrown open and the boy
herself in front Of him. and they fell to-
gether on Kendrick. Woman. man and boy
swayed across the room and fell in strug-

Mother and son were no match for Ken

TO Guido CARNEGIE.
Report That n. C. Prick Will Give
Pittsburp q School.

A special to the New York World from
Pittsburg yesterday says: Henry Clay
Eric, the former steel magnate, will give
to the city of Pittsburg a great university
that will make the much talked-of Poly
technic School Of Andrew Carnegie look like
80 centss."
These were the exact words Of a state
ment issued this afternoon by a close
friend of Mr.. Frick, and who is thoroughly
conversant with all Of his affairs. The
gentleman refused to permit his name to
be used. but his standing is SO high and he
is so close to Mr.. Frick that there is not
the least doubt Of the authenticity of the
statement.
There is every Indication that the story
Is true. Since Frick lost the Carnegie
Steel Company, after what he claimed was
injustice from Mr.. Carnegie, the two have
been the most bitter enemies. Mr.. Prick
has done everything in his power to make
the efforts of Mr.. Carnegie look cheap.
Some years ago Carnegie erected what was
then the finest office building in Pittssburg.
After the quarrel Prick bought property
all around 1t. He has just finished the
Frtck building. an immense structure
which towers above the Carnegie building,
which 1t adjoins. and makes 1t look like
pigmy. Directly across the street he will
soon begin the erection Of a mammoth
hotel.
Some time ago Mr.. Prick purchased from
the Schenley estate lot of sixteen acres
directly opposite the Carnegie Institute.
There were rumors at that time that Mr..
Frick would give Pittsburg an institution
OF some kind that would outrtval the Car
negie Institute. No sooner had Mr. Car
negie heard the story than he offered the
city the Polytechnic School. That was
some months ago. but the affair has been
hanging fire ever since on account Of the
city not being able to select site. Last
week a site was secured. No sconer was
the school matter settled than comes the
announcement that Mr.. Prick win again
outstrip his former partner.

per cent; In 26 companies. between 30 and 80
per cent; in 20 companies, between 60 and
20 per cent. Unfortunately quite a number
OF men habitually drink to excess, and as
this number VIII probably increase If the
men are obliged, as now. to resort to native
liquors In order to satisfy what to many
Of them Is a perfectly natural craving. the
result will be most deplorabie.
To the assertion that beer is not an I'M
known quantity In the Philippine Islands
and that soldiers who prefer 1t VIII usually
find 1t where the native decoctions are sold,
1t is to be remarked that the average charge
for bottle Of beer throughout the Philip
pines Is so cents. Mexican. and like most
Of the beverages manufactured in the Phil
ippine Islands, is very much adulterated.
1t was sold In the canteen prior to it's abOli-
ton at the same prices as In the United
States. Gen. Sanger concludes with the
remark that ut is hardly probable. In view
Of this Information, that Congress will con-
tinue the prohibition against the canteen
when it Is evident that the sale Of beer
would be a precaution against the pernic-
ious habits above stated and their fatal and
disastrous results"

at the War Department regarding It's atti-
tude on the canteen question: go:
The War Department is in constant re-
ceipt, both written and verbal, of requests
for recent data concerning the canteen
question, the consequence, no doubt, OF the
statements that are being circulated
through the press by the people who are
opposed to the sale of beer in the army and
through whose effort it was discontinued.
that the War Department is giving out
such information as to the results Of the
said abolition as suits its purposes and
suppressing all reports that show that the
cloing of the canteen has resulted in better
conditions in the army.
OF course, this is not true The depart
ment has given out no information what
ever on the ma tier except, such as has ap-
peared in the reports of department COM
manders and has made no effort, either one
way or another, to influence public opinion

NOTED SONG WRITER DEAD.
Septimus Winner, Author of "The
Mocking Bird" Passes Away.

Septimus Winner, author of 1.-The Mock
ing Bird and composer of hundreds Of
popular songs that are sung throughout
the world, died suddenly of heart failure
at his late home. 1703 North 10th street.
Philadelphia, yesterday afternoon. He was
seventy-six years of age.
Few song writer's have achieved the sue
cess and the fame which Mr.. Winners COM
positions brought him. But. aside from
songs, he won distinction as composer of
200 books on the technical treatises Of
musical instruments He was also the au-
thor Of 1900 arrangements for the violin
and plano.
Among his creations In a lighter vein are
Ten Little Injuns, THE Deutcher's Dog.
Some of his serious compositions are What
is Home Without Mother whispering
Hope" and 'Give Us Back Our Old Com
mander." This song was written a few
days after General Burnside had suppressed
ed Mcclellan in command of the Army Of
the Potomac. Inspiration for the song
sprang from the wave of Indignation which
swept over the country. and particularly
among the soldiers of the Army Of the Po-
tomac, in opposition to the removal of Nc
Clellan.
