Statue of Henderson.

CLERMONT, Ia. June 19-Colonel
David B. Henderson, ex-speaker OF the
rational house of representatives, en-
jDyed a privilege today that seldom
falls to the lot of living man, namely,
the sight of life-sized likeness Of
himself in bronze The honor paid
the ex-speaker is due to the benefic-
ence of Former Governor William
Larrabee, who has presented to this,
his home town, the statue of Colonel
Henderson and also handsome sol
diers monument. The unveiling of the
statue and the dedication of the mon
ument took place today with inter-
esting ceremonies and in the presence
of d crowd of notables that included
1 Governor Cummins, Colonel Hender-
son and Senator Dolliver. The double
event was a feature of the reunion
now in progress here of the Twelfth
Iowa infantry.
The statue of Colonel Henderson Is
the work of Sculptor Massey Rhind Of
New York and it is one Of the very
few statues in this country for which
the subject posed. 1t represents the
veteran soldier who lost a left at Cor
inth leaning, as in life, on a crutch,
while his right hand holds ready for
business the gavel with which he
called to order the national assembly.
The statue is to be placed temporar-
lily at the entrance to the Iowa build
ing at the st. Louis worlds fair. after
which it will be permanently erected
here.

wsrships to Take Long Cruise.

NEW YORK, June 19.--To attain
proficiency in ocean cruising, the bat
tleships Kearsarge, Illinois, Alabama
and Massachusetts, accompanied by
the GOLFERS Lebanon, Sterling and
Caesar, will leave the Tompkinsville
anchorage within few days for the
Azores. The islands are not in any
sense to be the object of mimic attack,
the main purpose being to find out
the highest speed at which all the
ships, which are of varying speeds,
can be kept together, and the colliers
kept close enough at hand to provide
fresh supplies when needed. It is es-
timated that enough coal will be car
ried to enable the ships to make the
Azores without having TO coal on the
way, They will recoal there, and the
tactical drill will be repeated on the
way back. Then the ships will get
ready for the summer maneuvers on
the Maine coast. The trip to the
NAzores will be made under the COM
mander in chief OF the North Allan.

Mrs. ManueIa JaramiI!o.

The testimony of the above witness,
followed by vigorous cross examine
tion, covered about two hours of yes
terday's session.
Mrs Jaramillo stated that she had
been employed in the asylum for seven
and half years and left its service
voluntarily about year and eight
months ago She testified that she
had seen patients abused great many
times, especially at meal times
struck with lunches OF keys on the
arms and hand, and that many OF the
patients had black and blue marks
on their arms from being struck and
pinched. When asked for particular
instances of this sort of treatment,
witness gave several names Of pa
tients so treated, but was very vague
in regard to details of time or place.
The principal part of her testimony
QGdil With Tue CIRCUMSTANCES VI thS
death of Teofola Moya This woman,
the witness said, was sick in addition
10 beng uemcnted. She was frequent,
" very stubborn, ana at such times
n.,lllu be subjected to abuse on the
part Of attendants The feeding tube
.sas used vita unnecessary harshness
so as to injure the tongue and throat
OF The woman, making them bleed.
Witness testified that when Teofola
refused, as she generally would do
10 sit down or move on, as the case
required, she would be approached
from the rear, and with the hands
and knee of attendant would be fore
ably and suddenly assisted to sit down.
Witness also testified that the day
before the death of this patient. she
(witness) had assisted in giving her
cold bath. When patient had re-
fused to obey and take medicine, the
matron and attendant, assisted by wit
ness and two other patients, had drag
ged patient by the hair, limbs and
clothes to the bath tub and, with her
clothing only partially removed, had
placed the resisting patient in cold
bath and kept her there for probably
ten minutes. The next morning, Wit
ness said, she was told the patient
was dead, and she was instructed to
dress the body. This had happened,
as well as witness could remember,
about three years ago. in May.
In cross examination of witness, she
made complaint that when the native
women were brought to the asylum
their hair was clipped and heads
shaved. This she thought TO ne un-
necessary. When asked II all native
women had their hair cut, how 1t was
that Teofola's hair was sufficiently
long TO seize In the manner described
above, witness couldn't remember
whether this particular patient had
long or short hair, but asserted that
If patients hair was short she was
dragged by the ears.
A Vigorous cross examination OF
the witness in regard to her leaving
the institution followed. She affirmed
that she left Of her own free will be-
cause her work as seamstress was
criticized by the. matron, and work
which she had done was. returned TO

to make her think the management
