NO OFFICIAL, NOTICE RECEIVED

Mayor Muirhead has not yet ic ceived any official notice cf the de cision of the secretary of the interior regarding the Bisbee townsite.
 Neither has City Attorney Suttel received any official notification that the city is to have its deed for ihe townsite vested in the mayc-
 These facts were gathered from IL terviews held with both the mayor and City Attorney Sutter by Review man yesterday afternoon.
 While it is presumed that tho slcrs tary of the interior decided in favor of this city as against Probate Judge Bostwick, there has been no recent de velopments to sustain the prcsun, pt'rI Mir. Sutter has written the land ofice at Tucson to make inquiry as to the records in the case in the hands o. Register Milton R. Moore.
 Ex-City Attorney Miller. althougl he has given out the staten,en; to q. press, that notice of the dec'siCn ha reached him. stated to Attorney Su. ter recently that such records a: were in his possession were unimportant and would be of no assistance to his successor ia following up the case.
 The fact remains. that while in all probability the case of Bostwick vs. the City of Bisbee has been decided in ia. vor of the defendant, no official com munication has reached this city enher from the court of appeals Jr from Ex-City Attorney Miller.
 Had an official notice been given to this city, it would have been directed either to Mayor Muirhead or to W P. Miller as attorney for tEe city. Mayor Muirhead has not received any notice to that effect. Now, if A tOrrey Miller is quoted correctly as saying he has been apprised of the decision ir ia vor of the townsite title beiae vaste ei fn the mayor, what has become of the document?

 Ohio's indorsement of Mir. Roos welt for 1904 is seriously qualified by Mir. Hannas warning that, as to the sa- cred Dingley tariff. every body, includ- ing MT.

HAkkA'S WARNING TO ROOSE
 WELT

On the surface everything was peace ful and harmonious in the Ohio repuo. lican policies alike in the ration and the state were warmly eulogized.
 In his address to the convention Mr. Hanna nevertheless served notice that he and his following have not assented to Mir. Roosevelt's cIamorous request for indorsement unconditionally. The condition he clearly ard emphat:cauy imposed was that there must be no re. vision of the tariff, no surrender to the Iowa idea" On the base of the Magnificent structure" of prosperity. reared wholly, as he declares, on the protectionist system, Mir. Hanna wants to write in largest letters. Hands off,
 T once said; Let well enough alone. For Gods sake keep letting it alone"
 Consistently with this declaration by Mir Hanna. the Ohio platform extDis the protective policy and opposes all attacks upon it. whatever the prstext. Inconsistency with it, however. the platform, like that adopted by the Pennsylvania republicans. comments Mir. Roosevelt "for his adherence t> President McKinley's politics"
 But has Mir. Roosevelt adhered to the politics of Mir. Mckinley As to the Philippines. yes. As to Cuba. no; because his party would not let hnl give her the reciprocity which MT. Me Kinley favored.

SAW PRESIDENT DIE.
Demise of Man Who Was at Lincoln's
Deathbed

Alexander Williamson, one of the three
persons who were present at the death bed
of President Lincoln, died at his home In
Brooklyn, N. Y, Wednesday and was
buried in GlenwOod cemetery, this CITY, yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Williamson was
born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was
Lightweight years of age at the time of his
death. He was man of excellent educa-
ton and was engaged by Mr.. Lincoln in
1851 as tutor for his sons, William Wallace
and Thomas ("Tad'D Lincoln. In relating
a few years ago how he came to be at the
martyred Presidents bedside when he died
Mr.. Williamson said:
ION the night of the assassination of Lin
coin, and just as I was about to retire. my
son, who was mounted messenger in the
War Department. and who was in Ford's
Theater when Lincoln was struck down,
rang my door bell. In a hurried and ex-
cited manner he told me of the dreadful
act. Dressing quickly l went at once to
the White House to inform Robert Lincoln
Of the serious condition of his father. I'M
mediately after seeing Robert Lincoln 1
rushed to 10th street, running almost all
the way. There 1 found ..Iat the house to
which the President had been taken was

Knowing me, he nodded quietly and said,

and on that trunk sat from 10 pm. until
he breathed his last"
For some time after the death Of Presi-

Remedy for Obesity.
the Philadelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record
There Is no better remedy for obesity
than the Juice of the frosted pokeberry,"
said a DOCTOR 1.-The value of this plant was
discovered in an odd way. A Pennsylvania
physician who was a great gunner noticed
how ravenously. in the fall. the birds fed on
pokeberries, and how they consisted. at this
season, of little more than skin and bone.
Therefore he asked himself why the poke
berry shouldn't make human beings thin,
even as It did with birds. He gathered a
lot OF the globules. squeezed their juice on
sugar, tablets. and tried them on several
corpulent people. One man lost forty pounds
in three months feeling no inconvenience.
but actually gaining in health and strength
while this change went on in him. A wo-
man lost fifteen pounds in two months. An
aged clergyman reduced himself at the rate
of four pounds a week. So the pokeberry
is now an accepted remedy for obesity. But
only berries that have been withered by
frost are used; the frost destroys the poi
sonous quality that they have in the sum-
mer. Following the birds, we get along all
right The birds don't go near the poke
berry in the warm weather, but after the
drst cold they delight In It,

CARE OF LAWNS.
Senator Lodge Calls Attention to Acts
Of Trespass.

Senator H. C. Lodge and a number of
other residents on Massachusetts, avenue
between 18th and 18th streets have joined in
a letter to the Commissioners saying they
are exceedingly anxious to maintain the
lawns in front OF their houses in a neat and
attractive manner, and to accomplish this
end from time to time in past years have
had the lawns resodded and cared for at
more or less expense.
'Our efforts say the writer's, "have been
somewhat thwarted by the dense shade
from the beautiful trees that ornament our
sidewalks, but more especially by the
thoughtless acts of those who trespass upon
these little grass plots. If there is no order
of the Commissioners preventing such tres
pass, may we ask that the subject be
brought to the attention of the board of
Commissioners for such action as in its
judgment will be for the best interests of
the city,"
The matter will be carefully considered.

BURIAL OF SOLDIERS
NONE NEED GO TO A PAUPER'S
GRAVE.
Ample Provision Made by Government
for Interment of Soldiers,
Sailors and Marines.

mo soldier need be buried in pauper's
grave in this country" remarked Col. Pat
ten of the quartermaster generals Office
to a Star reporter today In the course of
conversation on that subject. The gov
eminent has made ample provision for
the honorable interment of its soldiers sail
ors and marines. and also supplies hand
some marble headstones to mark their
graves. These headstones are provided in
the case OF every deceased soldier no mat
ter whether he is buried In national GEM
etery or in private cemetery. Over 10 90
OF them were issued last year. and that
has been the average for years past. When
soldiers die abroad they are brought to the
United states and buried In either a
national or private cemetery just as their
relatives or friends elect. All expenses
are borne by the government. in addition
to which a headstone is furnished in each
case No country on the face of the earth
does this but the United States.
Congress has made special provision in
the case OF the District of Columbia" con-
tinued Col Patten. and If any old soldier,
who dies here. fails to secure honorable
burial II is simply because his is not
reported to the War Department. The
sundry civil act passed at the last session
of Congress contained the following pro-
vision For the expense of burying in the
Arlington National cemetery or I'm the Gem
eteries of the District of Columbia, indi
gent exUnion soldiers. sailors and marines
OF the late civil war, who die In the Dis
trict OF Columbia. to be disbursed by the
Secretary of War. at a cost not exceeding
$40 for such burial expenses in each case
exclusive of cost OF grave. $500.
The Only Requirement.
"All that is necessary in such cases is
TO notify the depot Quartermaster. The
law In the matter is so well known to those
In charge of the pauper cemetery that they
would not allow old soldier to be buried
there. All such cases are turned over to
the local quartermaster. Although the
above mentioned statute applies only to
veterans of the civil war who die in the
District, there is ample provision in other
statutes for the burial at government ex-
pense of men who have served In the army,
navy or marine corps since the civil war.
AS matter OF fact. since the Spanish war
the War Department has brought home
and delivered TO their relatives the remains
of over 5000 soldiers who died abroad,
either In the Philippines or elsewhere The
local c. A. r. posts will do a good service
In looking up the cases of INDECENT soldiers
or sailors who die in this vicinity and re-
porting them to the War Department in
order that proper burial may be provided
In the Arlington cemetery"

KILLING OF THE JEWS
RUSSIAN NEWSPAPER SAID TO
HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE.
Pointed Out That There Were No
Strained Relations Until a
Recent Date.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 23.-There is
virtual unanimity OF opinion in the press,
barring the anti-Semitic papers. that the
author of the strained relations and of
the ritual murder calumnies was the news
paper Bessarabetz.
A petition OF the Jewish community of
Kishinef to the director of the department
of police, Lopoukhim. In pointing this out,
says:
I'm Bessarabia generally. and in Kishnef
particularly, there were no strained rela-
lions between Jews and Christians until a
very recent date. This is explained by the
peaceful and orderly character of the local
population and the comparative prosperity
of the province.
During twenty years or more there had
been no conflict whatever between the two
elements of the population. and when Jews
were being pfllaEed all throughout south
and southwest Russia the ordinary peace

turbed.''
Direct Instigator Of the Trouble.
The Jewish society named the Bessa-

trouble.

can Jews Should Be Killed Off,"
The Jewish community went on to say
that the local censorship, administered by
the vice governor. evidently approved the
course of the Bessarabetz and directed at
tention to the persistent refusal of the st.
Petersburg press administration to permit
the establishment of any other newspaper
at Kishinef.
The Bessarabetz continued preaching
death to Jews," or 'all Jews should be
killed or until the massacre, it's attacks

The Jewish community established these
facts and then related that leaflets were
