the estimable qualities as a man and the
skill and devotedness as a physician of
the late DIR. William S. Leonard of Hins-
dale. For many years DIR. Leonard had
had the largest medical practice of any
physician in this locality, extending as
far as Walpole on the north. and to
Massachusetts and the Ashuelot valley
towns on the south. In all cases of a
malignant nature his advice was sought
far and near. He was one of the most
accomplished men in the state of New
Hampshire. His genial temper made
him the friend of everybody. His pro-
fessional services were given as freely
to the poor who could never pay as to
those of abundant means. To his'great
circle of personal friends, his loss can
never be made good.

The Years Work at Mortified Semi
nary,

At meeting of the corporation and
trustees of Mortified Seminary at Hotel
Northfleld, the annual report of Miss
Evelyn ). Hall. the principal, was read.
This report contained some interesting
facts about the growth and development
of the educational work started by ID.
l.. Moody. 1t appears that no less than
1000 students receive instruction every
year at the school founded by Mr. Moody,
Last year the total registration at North
field Seminary was Az. over half the
states of the Union We're represented,
and eight foreign countries. In the
23d year of its existence the school has
grown from 80 girls, taught in a desultory
way at d. l.. Moody's own home, until
now its enrolment numbers between
three and four thousand, and there is
hardly a town in the Eastern states but
that at some time has been represented
1t the Moody schools.
The need of greater facilities and larg-
er equipment at Mortified is obvious.
Less than half the applicants can be
accepted, and at the present time there
are over 300 on the waiting list That
Mortified reaches the girls for whom it
last year over 100 girls worked, and worked
hard, to make their expenses, and 80
others We're helped by the Students Aid
society. Few mems colleges are backed
by such determination and grit as the
| Mortified girls show. Miss Hall said
| the present need of the school is for a
| new building for science and a music

The EldOradO Trouble.

Carhondale, ILL.,, July 12.-The indigna-
ton felt in Saline county over the odium
brought on by the race troubles at Ell
dorado has found vent in a series Of
resolutions passed by the board of su-
pervisors. After alleging that the re-
ports concerning the disturbances had
been greatly exaggerated anG that the
reports had led to a correspondence be-
tween the sheriff and the governor, in
which the latter had not been fully in
formed Of the exact conditions and had
IN an open letter criticised and censured
the sheriff for failure tc 40 his duty,
the board adopted a resolution express
ing full confidence In the integrity and
honor Of Samuel Barter and that under
all conditions he would do his duty as
an officer, judged by record Of seven
years as Saline county's sheriff. Assist
ant Adjutant General Ewarts was re-
lieved from further duty today and or
dered to report to Springfield and the
situation left in charge Of Lieutenant
Cooper of Mount Vernon.
The entire matter will be sifted by the
grand jury and the report vii be await

Charleston, S. c., July 12.-At the

George, Colleton county, today, there
was a war of words which may lead to
a duel between Congressman A. c.

PROHIBITIvE TARIFF.

From Franee-Cable tn WASH
ington.

San Juan. Porto Rico. July 12.-The
merchants here are alarmed at advices
from France foreshadowing the possible
imposition of a prohibitive. tariff on
Porto Rican coffee. The chamber OF
commerce has cabled to Washington
urging that action be taken in the mat
ter as France is the only foreign mar
ket open to Porto Rican coffee growers.
Washington, D. G., July 12.-Of-
ficials here express doubt that
France would discriminate against
Porto Rican coffee, as it would violate
the favored nation clause of the exist
ing commercial treaty between the
United States and France. The French
government, it is pointed out is very
anxious to have the reciprocity treaty
between the two countries ratified, and
this is cited by administration officials
as another reason why the alleged pro-
posed discrimination is unlikely.
Secretary Hitchcock, under whose ju-
risdiction the affairs of Porto Rico are
placed, has received no advices on the
subject.

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.
Vatican Wants to Keep Up These
Relations With United States.

Rome, July 12.-There is apparently a
disposition on the part of the vatican to
take advantage of the Philippine ques-
tion to forward it's desire for the estab-
lishment of diplomatic relations with
the United States. The vatican author
ities hope that the question OF the
purchase of the Friars lands and other
matters involving the payment of
money will render Indispensable the
continuance of relations initiated by
Governor Taft for at least two years.
while they are also hopeful of reserving
the question of the withdrawal of the
Friars from the islands so as to pro-
long these relations even longer.

TROUBLE WITH JAPAN.
International Complications May
Occur Over the Possession Of an
IsIand-LikeIy, Though that there
VIII be no Trouble.

HONOLULU July 3.-via San Francisco,
July 12-It is not unlikely that inter-
national complications may ensue be-
tween the United States and Japan as
the result Of local people taking posses
sion of Marcus Island. small guano
island lying about $500 miles west OF
Honolulu and about 1000 miles south
east of Yokohama. An expedition is
to leave here next week, under COM
mand Of Captain A. A. Rosehill to oc-
cupy the island, as Rosehill was recent
ly granted title to the island by the
United States. An American warship
may be necessary to place Rosehill in
possession of the island.
About fourteen months ago Captain
Pierce, OF the transport Sheridan stop
ped at Marcus Island to adjust his in
struments- With a party he went
ashore. He was met on the beach by
about twenty Japanese, armed with
rifles, who ordered the Americans to
leave the island at once. The Japanese
flourished what purported to be an off,
cial document from the japanese gov
ernment. An exploration Of the island
disclosed the fact that the japanese evil
IDENTIFY were at work obtaining guano.
Captain Pierce made no attempt to mo-
lest the Japanese. He was then not
aware of Rosehill's claim.
Washington, July 12.-In 1889 Captain
Rosehill, an American citizen, lodged
notice of the discovery by him of Mar
Gus Island in the Western Pacific, and
claimed the right to exploit it for guano.
The state department is not required
to pass upon the sufficiency of any such
claim and simply receives such notice
for record. There is no such a thing
as a fee simple title for the island; the
government merely affirms the right of
the claimant to take the guano. 1t is
the general opinion that these guano til
ties are of extremely doubtful force,
and that it is absolutely necessary to
maintain title that the island claimed
should be continuously occupied and ex-
plotted for guano by the claimant;
which does not appear to have been the
case with Marcus Island Therefore. if
the Japanese are working the island as
reported, it is improbable that the Unit
ed States government will interfere.
