Willis w. Cooper was one of the vic
Tins of the Iroquois Theater disaster
in Chicago last year. Mr. Cooper was
wealthy man. Among his other be-
quests he left 100000 to Lawrence
University, at Appleton, Wis. Law
renee University is a Methodist school.
The trustees have declined to accept
the bequest, on the ground that Mr..
Cooper came to his death while in at
tendance at place of amusement
contrary to the rules of the Methodist
Church. Had Mr.. Cooper met death
accidentally on hunting trip, or had
he fallen down an elevator shaft at a
hotel, there would have been no ques-
ton raised about accepting his money.
But because he was at theater. the
school is to be denied the benefaction
which he hoped and planned to be-
stow upon it.

AT McKITTRICK'S n MA %F ST
TAMMANY DENIES PARKER
NEGOTIATIONS to PIacate Murphy Fai
and Fight Will Go to Convention.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2O.-To-
day the New York Tribune, which last
Monday printed a story that PROPOSE
ton had been submitted to Murphy
and Hill looking to the cessation of the
Tammany fight on Judge Parker,
prints another story indicating that
these negotiations have failed and
that the fight will be carried to ST.
Louis. 1t says:
Charles F. Murphy is confident
that he has Hill and Belmont beaten
at St. Louis. \ supreme court judge
a personal friend of Judge Parker and
of Mr.. Murphy, suggested to Mr..
Murphy this week that it would be a
good idea for Tammany to fall into
line for Parker and make his nominal
ton certain, at the same time getting
a pledge from him that McCarren
should be removed from the chairman
ship of the state executive committee
and not embarrass Tammany any
more by arraying the Brooklyn ma
chine against Murphy.
The WOuld-be peacemaker was in
formed that any OVertureS would have
to come directly from Hill and McCar-
rem and furthermore, he was told that
as Parker already was beaten, over
lures at this time would be of little use.
The Parker men are trying to pre-
vent Tammany from carrying its OPP
position to Parker into the cOnven
ton. They are afraid of the moving
effect of one of w. Bourke Cockran's
speeches if the fight is carried to the
convention floor.
Things are shaping so that it is al
most certain that the convention will
be highly exciting and Turbulent. The
Chicago convention in 1896 was some
what on that order and when Bryan
hit it at the psychological minute, the
delegates were swept off their feet and
the conservative were overwhelmed.
Th Hill men do not want any such
rough and tumble fight as that"

Trying to Check tuberculosis.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 20.-The
the ravages of tuberculosis among pu-
pills at Indian schools. Reports of
past years have shown that a high
percentage of deaths among Indian
children has been due to this dread dis
ease. tuberculosis thrives among the
Indians for various reasons; because of
their lack of cleanliness; because of
failure to use due preparation of fight
ing the disease. and because of the un-
restrained intermingIing of these who
are affected with those who are in
sound health. To check the spread of
the disease in the Indian schools, rigid
regulations have been adopted and all
superintendent have been instructed
to see to their strict enforcement.
HencefOrth tubercular children will
not be admitted to government schools,
and those developing tubercular symp-
toms Will be kept apart from their
classmates until the symptoms disap-
pear or until the disease develops; in
the latter event, they will be returned
to their homes. The overcrowding of
Indian schools and dormitories ha
heretofore tended to serve as a means
of spreading this disease, when certain
of the children We're affected Hereaf-
ter overcroWding Will not be tolerat-
ed, even though the attendance falls
below the average. In addition to
these precautions, disinfection is to be
required and especial care given to
the water and food supply, bathing ia
cilities and ventilation, and all mat
| ters of sanitation.

Humphrey Hears of Rotten Oats.

WASHINGTON. D. -, June 20
Quartermaster General Humphrey is
hot-red hot-over his discovery that
100000 pounds of oats purchased in
Seattle, spoiled on their way to
Manila. because they We're not properly
seasoned at the time they were landed
at the Seattle docks. And when Gener-
al Humphrey is hot, he is mad and
does things. This time he has served
4 warming to grain dealers in the state
of Washington that hereafter they get
no more contracts for government oats
unless they will guarantee their oats
10 be thoroughly seasoned. And as
long as General Humphrey is quarter
master general, he will live up to that
threat. He is given full sway in the
purchase Of army supplies: he knows
what he wants. and he knows how to
get it.
For some time his office has had

and have been a total loss to the gov
eminent. The same is true of some of
the Washington hay. But there was
some doubt at first, as to the cause of
the degeneration of the fodder. 1t was
not known whether its moulding was
due to climatic conditions: to improp-
er care While in transit, or to its I'M

WHAT OCCURS WHEN HE COMES
SWINGING DOWN THE BIG
CORRIDOR.
All the Attendants and Clerks Take on
New Alertness and AMI
nation.

1t is as if the band had struck up a
quick march in the city hall when the
mayor comes swinging along the COR
ridor in the morning. The attendants
and clerks take on new alertness and
anima ton. He mods to them briSkly as
he pushes his way through the swing
ing door to the inner office. His bell
rings sharply and at once the mill be-
gins to grind. The first callers, who
have been waiting for him, are shown
in and bowed out in quick succession,
and even those who have been unSuc-
cessful in their errands are usually
smiling when they pass out, because
they are still under the spell of the
mayors magnetism. He has gripped
the hand of each man heartily and has
made it plain to him that he would like
to serve him if he could.
During these calls he is hastily scan
ming letters that have been culled
from the regular batch of about fiji
teen hundred that have come in the
first mail. At eleven o'clock he re-
ceives the reporters from the after
noon papers, calling most of them by
jokes and laughter in the inner office.
An easy spirit of good felloWhsip pre-
walls, yet the newspaper men know
we'll that they can not obtain from the
mayor information that he is unwilling
to give or statements that he is unWil-
ling to make. He parties their most
covert thrusts with a smile that is
pleasant yet full of discernment.
In the afternoon there are callers
and more letters, and very often a
board or committee meeting. The
gentlemen of the committees have been
for two or three hours at a meeting.
The pace is a good deal swifter now.
The mayor keeps them on the move
every minute, and yet maintains a
spirit of good humor with smiles and
incisive comments. The other day, for
instance, when an official was asked
how much money was needed for a
certain purpose, he said he could
spend an amount which he mentioned.
We don't want to know how much
you can spend, but how little" in
terrupted the mayor, briskly. From
many men a remark like this would
have savored of brusqueness and
would have given offense. But the
mayor accompanied it with his smile
and the man to whom it was addressed
joined in the general laughter. This
little episode is mentioned because it
is characteristic. Besides his youthful
ness of spirit and the nervous energy
that gives the atmosphere around him
a sort of Jingle the mayor has "a way
with him. that causes the great ma ior-
ity of those who meet him personally
to be inclined to help rather than re-
tard him in his daily work and on his
journey through the labyrinth of poll

Immune to the Knockout

that the referee counted too fast, and

MAKING FAKE DIAMONDS.
An Art That Turns One Genuine Stone
Into Two Apparently
as Good.

The lapidary was splitting diamond.
He leaned forward with intent brows.
His tiny machine buzzed like bee. A
delicate and shining dust arose, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Then, suddenly, everything was
stilled, and the diamond, split in halves,
lay in the lapidary's white, thin hand.
"Out of one diamond" he said, Il am
going to make two, and each of these two
will be as big and as brilliant as the
original one was"
AS he scraped up the glittering dust,
he explained:
First, will make, in paste, an exact
duplicate of each Of these two halves.
Then I will join to the bottom of each
genuine half it's artificial complement,
making the junction so carefully that
no one will be able to perceiveit. Final
ly / will mount these two half false and
half genuine stones. Each of them will
appear to be altogether genuine. Their
paste foundations will not detract in
any way from their brilliance. The own
er of the big diamond will have two big
diamonds.
"The making of fake Jewels" the
lapidary said, "is an interesting study.
Do you know what the best fake pearls
are made Of? They are made of fish
scales -silvery and iridescent fish scales
pasted on the inside of balls of glass.
The fish the scales come from Is called
in France the ablette, and in England
the bleak. 1t is smaller than minnow.
Its scales must be picked of by hand,
and only small portion of them can be
used. It takes $4,000 ablettes. or bleaks,

Washington Gossip.

Observation-Disclosures, and for
that matter the soldiers Of the entire
country, are taking more than a pass
ing interest in the coming battle ma
neuvers scheduled to take place on the
historic Bull Run battlefield this COM
ing autumn.
For this series of maneuvers troops
will be drawn not only from the regu-
lar army at the eastern posts, but from
the national guard of the eastern and
New England states to the number of
about $4,000 men, and they will be un-
der the direct command of Maj. Gen.
Henry c. Corbin, commanding the de-
partment of the east with headquarters
at New York. Of this force some 49,
900 will be militiamen, and regular
army officers, especially those assigned
to general staff duty, are anticipating
a golden opportunity of studying the
soldiers of the guard of the various
states. But not only will the officers
of the regular service be present in
considerable numbers, but the young
soldiers will have as critics many hun
dreds of civil war veterans, many of
whom fought over this same ground
during that conflict.

with many financial interests both in
the islands and in the states.
The outlying territories have added
greatly to the work Of the administra-
tive departments of the government.
From the departments of war and JUS
tice especially they take vast amount
of attention. Every day brings with
it some problem for solution. On the
same day of Gov. Carter's visit, which
among other things was to discuss
with the president the availability of
men for territorial judges, of which
seven new appointments must be made
in the near future to fill existing va
cancies, Beekman Winthrop, the new
governor of Porto Rico, talked with
the president about affairs in that is
land. Winthrop goes to Porto Rico
early in July, where he will succeed
William H. Hunt, who is to return to
become Judge of the United States dis
trict court of Montana.
