BONAPARTE
RESPONSIBLE
AbsOIves President
andSecretary Of
all Blame.

Before leaving the territory Mr..
Bonaparte gave out the following
STATEMENT:
81 regret to say | have very lit
tie time to converse on any SUBJ
iect, but there are two matters
connected with my presen. em.
ployment as to which think |
ought to say:
sin the first plsc.. If there has
been any d4lay in the present in.
vestigaIion. tns secre AIRY aud
president are not to blame except
In 80 far as IL was cau-ed by their
employing me to do the work. They
have be IN from the beginning very
anxious that this should be com
pleted Just ss soon as might be
consistent with IN Oroughness. |
have given all the time to il which
| could spare from other impera
tive eng gements and the same is
true OF Mr.. Woodruff since be was
associated with me; in point of
fact, no time has been lost; but if
any one thinks there has been, he
must lay the blame on Us and not
on our superlors.
We are responsible tor the man
ner in which the present inquiry
has been and is conducted; as TO
this We have entire discretion.
We decided that the best results
would be attained by having the
witnesses examined privately and,
IN fact, that 10 conduct the inquiry
differently would practically de-
feat its purpose Il any ore
doesn't approve Of this he ls, Of
course, al full liberty to disap-
prove, but The weight Of his dis
pleasure should be visited 90 us,
not on Mr.. Hitchcock or on Mr.
Roosevelt
81 may add that we have TX
amined under oath every ons who
came before us aud wished to.
make a complaint aud every per-
son complained OF, 10 any way,
whose attendance we could secure.
unless the complaint were plainly
frivolous or altogether beyond our
provinces. Oar Instructions are
very broad aud we have construed
them broadly. When our re-
port is published, if It be- publish
I'd, fear it will not please every
body, but iis short comings will b.
our own"

HIS INJURIES

Seriously Hurt
!. in Wreck.

The Congregational church pe0-
pie and others who had met Rev
Henry G.. Mcdowell during his
briet stay at Vinita, were uneasy
from the time word was received
OF the Frisco wreck near Fl Scott.
This feeling was intensified when
his name was given in ths last
nights city papers among the sTr-
s,iously injured. On being asked
for information on the suhj-c this
morning the Frisco sg-nt very
soon received reply tha' Mr.. Nc
Dowell's injuries we're not of COZ
sequence and thar he went on to
mis- home a. Lodi, Onio fhat
thls Is true is to be- inferred from
1.-THE fact tnat this mornings papers
contain 40 mention OF the gentle
man as having been injured.
The wreck was very destruc.
tive one, and was due to flag
mans neglect Of duty. A freight
train too long for the siding wa,

Velyeteen is one of the prettiest mate
rails that can be used for Sunday frock
and is suitable for children of any age.
There is a softness and richness about it
that even the handsomest cloth cannot
rival and for a best gown nothing Is
more effective.
The model illustrated today is nut
brown velveteen. The little skirt which
has two fared graduated bands around
circular sides and box plated panel front,
is over drop skirt of taffeta finished
with a little plated ruff1e. The back of the
velveteen skirt is in inverted plaits.
Bronzed gilt buttons trim p1aits to knee.
The bloused coat has a short attached
skirt with small box plat at center back.
The upper part has single piece back
and a circular shoulder cape bordered with
two accordion plaitings of self-to lib
erty silk and the box plat straps at
front end in points, are attached on
edges and trimmed with buttons. High
turnover collar and deep band cuffs finish

tinguished in style that every woman
looks after her. She has returned from
a long trip abroad, and in England
visited her Sn1nt, Lady Bagot. Lady
Bagot was formerly Miss Lily May,
and Is bride of few months. Miss
May is almost a New York girl, al
though she registers from Washington.
It is wonderful how she stands the
strain of dining in New York one even
ing, dancing all night. and then rush
ing back to the capital for an I'M
portant luncheon the following day.
This indefatfgable young woman was
the niece Of the second Mrs. whitney,
and she is always one or the pretty
girls who receive with William {.
Whitney on the occasion of his annual
balls. Her new dresses are bound to
be copied. She is showing some as
tonishing sleeves-aH of the exagger-
ated anger type.
There will be a great outpouring OF
Knickerbockers on Nov. 20, when a
special trainload will be carried to the
marriage Of Theodore Roosevelt Fell
and Miss Florence Cramp. The we'd
ding will be in the Philadelphia home
of the Cramps, and soon afterWard the
elder Cramps will move to New York
to be near their daughter. Miss Cramp
is not unknown to New Workers, and
she has visited here often. She is
tall girl Of the athletic type Almost
all the men Of the Pell family are hne
looking. At the wedding there Will be
a great array Of Pe1ls, Cheevers, Gala
tins, HoWlands and ToWnSends. Inc
father Of the bridegroom, John How.
land Pell, was great admirer OF
Theodore Roosevelt, and the president
likes young Mr. Pell There is chance
the president will go to the wedding.
If not. the Roosevelts will be repre-
scented by Miss Alice.
Perfect consistency is a trait of Mrs.
Katherine Lent Stevenson, president OF
the Massachusetts Woman's Christian
Temperance union. When the tenn
perance women gathered in Cincinnati
for their annual convention last week
the first meeting was not opened by
Mayor Fleischmann. His absence sur
prised outsiders, for the mayor or
convention city usually is called upon
to open such meeting. The temper
ance women were inclined to dodge all
questions about the mayors absence.
Finally Mrs. Stevenson arose in the
hall and said: 'Why should we dis
semble about this? Why not tell why
we have excluded Mayor F'leischmann?
He is a distiller; he made his fortune
or, rather, his father did-out of
whisky. It would be inconsistent II
we had a liquor man open our con-
vention. This is no reflection on the
man personally, but we loathe his
trade"

IT'S A WoMAN's PLAY.

The forthcoming dramatiZation Of
Mrs. Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch"
which Liebler & Co. are to present at
the Metropolitan theater, this city,
should have special interest for Wom-
en- since the piece has been written,
dramatized and interpreted almost en-
tirely by women, and presents several
notable types of womanhood, chief Of
all being dear old Mrs. Wigs herself
Miss Alice Caldwell Hogan, who wrote
the stories of Mrs. Wigs" and 'Lovey
Mary" from which the play is taken,
is a young Louisville girl who was
quite society belle of that Kentucky
town. and had done nothing to distin-
gufsh herself particularly in a literary
way until she surprised all her friends
and charmed the entire country by her
now favorite creation of Mrs. Wigs
creation that has won for her an in
slant fame scarcely exceeded by any
young authoress in recent history,
either here or abroad. 1t must be ad-
mitted. to the credit of the sterner sex,
that Miss Hogan very quickly became
Mrs, Gale. Young Rice upon the heels
of her great success, and that In her
second story-that Of "Lovey Mary
she prints dedication to her husband,
the poet, in which she credits him with
having been the one to teach her the
secret "of plucking roses from cab
bage patch" Mrs Anne Crawford
F'lexnor. who has dramatized these
works SC. successfully, if we may be-
lieve all the reports from other cities,
| is an intimate friend of Mrs. Rice and
belongs to the same feminine literary
club in which these Mrs. Wigs
sketches We're first read. It was at
Mrs. Rice's own special request that
Mrs. Flexnor, who is a Vassar gradu-
ate and the author of one play pro-
duced by Mrs. Fiske, undertook this
very happily completed foothght
adaptation. Mrs. Madge Carr Cook,
who has given Mrs. Wigs her stage
incarnation, Is doubly notable for the
fact that she Is not only a distinguish
ed character coincidence herself, but
that she is also the mother of that
charming young star" Miss Eleanor
Robson, whose rise to stellar bril-
Iiancy has been so rapid and vet so
sure. Mrs. Wigs is not the only
noteworthy type of feminine character
ization in this play, however, for both
the roles Of Levey Mary and little Miss
Hazy present curiously special ap-
peal to feminine theatergoers.
