GAVE UP HIS LIFE.
Washington Boy Drowned With Com
rades He Tried to Save.

letter has been received by Mr.. Walter
B. Shaw of Kenilworth. D. c., from Lieut..
Chandler Campbell commanding Company
F, I'd Regiment, United States Marine
Corps. stationed at OIongapo, Philippine
Islands, announcing the death Of Robert
G. Shaw, a soldier in that command, and
son of Walter B. Shaw, who lost his life
while attempting to rescue two comrades
from drowning in the waters of a river ad-
jacent to the camp of his regiment.
The letter Of Lieut. Campbell tells Of the
disaster which caused the death Of this
Washington boy. and Furthermore says
the board of inquest has recommended to
the Navy Department that there be suit
able recognition of his act of bravery.
The remains will be shipped to the United
States and appropriate burial be given
them upon their arrival. At the time Of
the temporary interment in the Philippines,
the bodies of young Shaw and his comrades
were given the hOnOrS accorded military
men.
In the letter Of Lieut.. Campbell the fol-
lowing occurs:
your sons death occurred in the follow
ing manner: Privates Zimminz and Spong
U. s. NJ. c.. were out on hunting pass and
while attempting to cross a bad ford Pri-
vate Zimminz was washed down into the
deep water. Private Spong went to his
assistance. but as they both had on KNAPP
sacks and blanket rolls. they were both
drowning when your son jumped to their
assistance and attempted to save them
both.
He was unable to do this as he was
pulled down by the two other men, and the
three were drowned before assistance could
reach them. The heroic action of your son
In thus sacrificing his life to save his COM
rades who were sinking for the last time
cannot be praised too highly. Greater love
hath no man than this. that man lay
down his life for his friends ~
At the time of the funeral services in the
Philippines Capt. P. s. Brown, U. S. NJ c.,
officiated. Private Shaw had served with
the command to which he was attached at
the time of his death for eight months, and
his record had been of such a high class
that his commanding officers recognized in
him valuable soldier and a faithful COM
rade.
The young man graduated with honors
from the Washington high schools, and
was very popular.

ASTRONOMICAL WORK.
Some Interesting Developments at the
Lick Observatory.

Some Interesting Developments At tue
Lick Observatory.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. August
3O-A Lick observatory bulletin, just issued
deals with the. results Of recent astronomi-
cal work at Mount Hamilton. The distance
of Alpha Centauri has been determined
spectroscopica1ly. So far as known this Is
the nearest star to us. The result Is In
harmony with observations by means Of
the ordinary telescope, to the effect that
light, travelling with speed OF 10000 miles
per second, requires four and one-fourth
years to reach us from that star.
The great Swedish physicicfst, Svante
August Arri1enius professor of physics at
the University Of Stockholm. who has been
spending the past two months at the Uni
versity Of California, is the author Of a
paper on the physical nature Of the suns
corona as observed at total solar eclipses.
This paper was written by Prof. Arrhenius
during his recent visit on Mount Hamilton
for the purpose of harmonizing the appar-
entity conflicting results as to the sources
of the coronal light obtained by recent OBJ
servationS.
Prof. Arrhenius has, on this superstition
computed the total mass of the corona,
and has found its most probable value
IS 100000 tons. This is approximately
SO feet in length. The quantity of matter
involved in the corona is thus shown to be
exceedingly slight. considering that 1t oc-
cupies a space whose dimensions In every
direction amounts to several millions Of
miles.

camille Agency Trouble.

S1dISSS Against NACSdu1ey Oh the uleT-
camille Agency Trouble.
NEW YORK, August 30-Thomas N. Nc
Cauley, organizer and former president of
the alleged bankrupt International Mercan-
tile Agency of this city. which Is now In
the hands of a receiver, was arrested here
today upon request of Hamilton, Ont, au-
thorities. who informed the local officials
that McCauley was wanted there on the
charge Of larceny of $500, made by C. S.
Wilcox of that city, former stakeholder
in the mercantile agency. McCauley said
that his arrest Is the result of a spite on
the part OF a present official of the COM
pany, because Of McCauleys action in
bringing suit against the agency for $54,-
600, which he claimed to have loaned to the
company. McCauley's suit followed a suit
by the directors Of the agency, seeking to
compel him TO make an accounting to them
for the alleged misappropriation of $3.50 900;
by selling his personal stock instead OF the
company's.
McCauley was locked up at a police sta
ton to await arrafgnment. He resigned as
president of the International Mercantile
Agency six months ago. When the direct
Ors took up its affairs as he had left them,
they allege, In the suit brought by them in
the United States Circuit Court last week,
that they discovered an overissue Of stock,
and an unaccountable excess of expenses.
The company having been Incorporated in
New Jersey, George R. Beach Of Jersey City
was appointed receiver. A receiver in this
state has been asked for.
The officials of the agency placed the
facts relative to their suit in the hands of
Assistant District Attorney Garvan, and
also turned over to him the books kept dur
ing McCauley's presidency, for his investi-
CATION. Up to date Mr.. Garvin has said
that he has found no Irregularities In them.
Mr.. McCauley has denied the allegation
against him and declared that the suit by

part to throw upon him the blame for the
agency's financial condition.

Why is a Judge IrritableP

Hi"ai ihe NuiSdso iHttr ocedu.
The Department OF Justice has inst
passed upon charges made against a fed
eral judge in Oklahoma and dismissed them
with the statement that, while he was
found to be somewhat irritable and brusoue
ana sometimes preciptate, he was neyertbe-
less honest, conscientious. industrious and
competent. The department, in fact pro-
nounces him "a fine Judge" and concludes
in its report: "All useful men have faults.
and the judge is found to have no more
shan the average" 1t appears from the
findings that this judges temper was on
trial. the complaint being that he was dis
courteous and often rude. This is q com
plant that Is frequently voiced against
the bench not only in Oklahoma. but else
where.
The judge OF fiction. and sometimes of
fact. Is usually stern, unyielding, and very
much alive to the dignity of his position
In fiction, and sometimes In fact, his great
est care Is jealousy to guard this dignity
and to take care that the sacred person of
the court Is not trampled upon or the acts
Of the court treated flippantly. For the
Iippant lawyer may be made to feel tho
courts rebuke in many ways. Ascension
to the bench has been known radically to
change a mans character. Where he was
mild, modest and lenient. he has been known
table. AS his duties press upon him he be-
comes less and less lenient and more and
more irritable. He sometimes develops q
fine sarcasm. particularly when the earnest
young lawyer Is giving himself free rein.
And often the mere step from the law
office to the bench will make out OF this
most thoroughgoing optimist the most I'M
compromising pessfmfst
1t is true that the duties of presiding
fudge tend to develop the irritable side OF
his nature But other busy men manage to
get along cheerfuIiy under Irritating cir
cumstances. And. again. there are cheer
full judges-but mono too many OF them.
The Oklahoma Judge who Il trritabls,
brusuue and sometimes precipitate Is
youched for as being useful and honest. It
is then. q pity that he cannot add to
these virtues the virtue OF controlling his
temper.
