Seniors Held Meeting to Arrange for
Regular Banquet.

The seniors of high school held
meeting yesterday to perfect their
arrangements for the regular banquet
which they will give TO the juniors
after the latter's public tonight.
One notable thing is that the SEN
iors will give the banquet in the
school building, instead of in some
hall, as the banquets for several years
have been held in the I. o. O. F.
hall.
One of the greatest honors possible
has fallen to the lot of the local high
school. The Illinois college, at Jack
sonville, H., has announced that it
has paced the Richmond high school
on the list of those whose students
will be admitted by certificate, i. e.,
a graduate from the Richmond high
school, providing that he has certi-
ficate from the principal, can enter
Illinois college without taking the
preparatory examinations There are
only few high schools which have
been placed on the certificate list of
this college, and the fact that Rich
mond is one of them shows what out
siders and all educational men think
of the Richmond high school.
To all such accredited schools the
Illinois college makes the following
offer Of scholarships: To the boy
who ranks either first or second
among boys, and to the girl who
ranks either first or second among
girls. this college offers scholarships
good for tuition during the years
1904, 1905 and 1906. These scholar
ships are given, providing that, in no
case, shall the pupils grade for the
last year in high school be not less
than 90 per cent on basis of 100.
The basketball team will leave for
Union City tomorrow, where it plays
in the afternoon.

LABOR LEADERS, DEFENSE
President of the Building
Trades Alliance.

New York, Oct. 15s-The defense OF
Philip Weinseimer, the former presi
dent Of the Building Trades alliance,
who Is now on trial charged with ex-
tortion, as outlined by his counsel, Fri.
day, is a direct denial that the de.
fendant ever received dollar as
charged, and counter charge that he
has been made the victim of a plot al.
eyed to have been concocted and car.
led out by the Employers association
During the course of the trial a wit.
ness swore that he paid Weinseimer
$2,700 before he was allowed to pro.
ceed with work ON a contract where
members Of the Building Trades ALI.
ance were employed.
In outlining the defense, Weinsei
mer's counsel said he was prepared to
show that no such transaction ever
took place.
Trouble between the two organi.
zatlons," said sounsel, led to the
manufacture in coiu Of evidence to Sc
cure the downfall of the defendant
We will prove that in the great con.
troversy which arose through the
lockout Of the building trades, the
whole scheme sprang from the fertile
brains of the members and officers OF
the Employers association. We will
show that this whole case Is manufac.
tured out of whole cloth; that the tes-
timony was all pre-arranged, In or.
der that Weinseimer might be elm.
mated from activity in the interests
of his organization, and that the Build
Ing Trades alliance might be destroyed
and all opposition to the Employers
association removed, and Its interests
conserved"

A CHANCE FOR INDIAN GIRLS
A Proposition to Give Those Capa-
BILE n Chance to Acquire .
Higher Education.

st. Louis. Oct. 16.-SuperinteIlc
8. NJ MCGOWAN of the Indian scnool
at ,he Worlds fair, has received a
communication from C. A. Madison,
superintendent of the Rescue Mission
of Poughkeepsle, N. Y, in which he
offers to grant 50-room building for
use as school for Indian girls of all
the United States Indian schools. His
plan Is to offer those who have reached
advanced grades, or who have shown
talent in special lines, such as music,
art or elocution, an opportunity to de-
velop these talents. He also offers
to give them scholarships In Vassar
college. Mr.. Madison stated that be-
fore his visit to the Indian school he
knew nothing of the Indians, and
looked upon them as human Texas
steers" incapable Of ever becoming
educated, but since he has become an
Indian enthusiast, and would do all
in his power to assist in opening the
door of opportunity to Indian girls.

WRECK OF THE WENTWORTH
Little Schooner Went Down With
All on Board.
OF the Twelve Persons on the
Stranded Vessel, Not One Reached
the Shore Alive.

Chatham, Mass, Oct ia small
part Of the forward section of the hull
and slanting foremast stand as mute
reminders of the ocean tragedy enact
ed here Thursday night, when the
three-masted schooner Wentworth, OF
Moncton, N. B., struck on Chatham
bar during raging northeriy gale.
and all on board perlshed in the ter
rife seas. With the exception Of the
loss Of the steamer Portland In No
vember. 1898, the wreck OF the Went
worth is the worst disaster that has oc-
CURED on the Cape Cod coast during
the last decade.
OF the IL persons who were on
board the stranded vessel, not one
reached the shore alive, although two
bodies were rescued from the surf Fri
day morning, one of them that OF a
woman believed to be the wife Of the
captain. With her three children, she
was accompanying her husband on a
trip from Hillston, N. B., to Newark,
N. ]. Little could be done in an effort
to aid the crew of the disabled craft,
as the Cape Cod life savers from two
stations were unable to launch their
surf boats In the tremendous seas. A
shot line was fired to the schooner,
which lay not much more than 300
yards from shore. There was one an
swerlng pull, and the life savers
thought that they heard voice above
the roar of the surf, crying, "All
right" but beyond this there was no
sign Of life on board the craft
Not receiving another pull on the
shot line, the life savers shot more
lines to the vessel. When the wreck
age came ashore, It was discovered
that the first line had been made fast
to the wheel of the schooner, and 1t Is
believed that heavy sea swept over
the vessel just as the line was secured,
and that all the men on deck were
washed overheard. 1t Is also believed
that those who sought safety in the
rigging climbed the main and mizzen
masts, both Of which fell early in the
morning.
The Wentworth was bound from
IIillsboro, N. b., to Newark. with a
cargo Of plaster rock. On board, so
far known. were the captain, Esau
Prlddle, of st. John, N. b., his wife
and three children, and crew Of sew

PATRIOTISM OF JAPANESE.
From Empress Down to Peasant Girl
All Make Sacrifices to Help
Relief Fund.

Societies and associations have been
organized in Japan TO relieve the fam
lilies of the fighting men, and every one
makes certain contributions to the relief
fund. Some men contribute money or
goods, some their labor, and most of the
lint and bandage used for the wounded
are the works of women, from the en-
press down to the peasant girl, Writea
Nobushige Amenomori, in Atlantic.
Little boys and girls willingly forego
their daily sweetmeats, and give the
small moneys thus saved to the relief
societies. A boy II years old in country
school made one day contribution OF
two yen. 1t was thought too much for "A
country boys gift. The school-teacher
and the alderman of the village suspect
ed the money might have been given the
lad by his parents to satisfy his vanity;
in which case it should be admonished
against. An inquiry was accordingly
made, and brought out the fact that the
boy had actually earned the money for
the purpose by deyoting his play hours
to the making of straw sandals. Even
some criminals working in prisons have
made several applications to contribute
their earnings to the funds, though
their wishes have not been complied
with. In every village compact has
been made that those remaining at home
should look after the farms of those at
the front, so that their families may not
be disappointed of the usual crops.
Since the outbreak OF the war the gov
ernment's bonds have been twice issued
at home, and each time the subscription
more than trebled the amount called for
the imperial household taking the lead
by subscribing 20,0OO000 yen. Thus the
hardships of the war are cheerfully borne
by every man, woman and child in the
land.

JAP PANESE WOULD
WELCOME PEACE
Mikado's Kingdom Shocked By
Slaughter of Their Enemies.
RUSSIAN HONOR NOT INVOLVED
A Leading Japanese Oficiai Says
Every Interest of Humanity De-
mands the Peaceable Adjust-
ment of Differences.

TOXIC, Oct. 17.-There Is q strong
appeal for peace In the appalling trag-
edy which is now under enactment in
Manchuria. Both armies have fought
ferociously for week, and desperate
fighting still continues. 1t Is probable
that the death roll will be largely In
creased before the final shot is fired.
The preliminary reports indicate
that about 10000 men have been either
killed or wounded, the larger portion
Of them being Russians, since the ar
mics of the two belligerents closed in
combat.
Even the japanese, to whom the
great victory is Of paramount import
ance, seem to be shocked by the
slaughter of their enemies. The jap
anese people are receiving the news
from the field of battle calmly, and
there can be heard no shouts in the
streets proclaiming the victory Of their
nation. Few flags are displayed. PNb-
ably later on there will be process
sion, with the consequent jolllfcatioh
but there are heard many expressions
Of opinion that no demonstration OF
any kind should be held. A prominent
Japanese said to a press correspond
ent Sunday:
1--WE have won sweeping and a de
cisive victory which may prove to bt
the salvation of our country's exist
ence, but we regret both our own losses
and the terrible slaughter which our
forces have inflicted on the enemy
We regret still more the necessity
which forced us to engage in this
war"
A member of the diplomatic corps
in an interview with the correspond
ent, said:
81 believe the world will recoil from
the sickening slaughter of this battle
Every interest of humanity demands
the adjustment of the differences be.
tween the two nations and the procla'
nation of peace. The situation be-
tween the two belligerents is a dell.
cate one, but what splendid triumph
for diplomacy 1t would be If peace
could be arranged. 1t seems to me that
the question of honor is no longer in
volved. If Russia feels that such a
question is involved. surely the heroic
and successful defense Of Port Arthur
and the valor shown by Russian sol.
diers on the fields Of Manchurla should
forever determine the quality of Rus
sian courage. Russians should remem-
Der that the distance dividing her
strength and the limitations Of her
railway are historical factors in this
war. These factors are generally
known. They are appreciated by ev-
erybody, and are not looked upon as

THE KING IS DEAD
LONG LIVE THE KING
King George of Saxony Died at
Pillnitz Saturday Morning.
FREDERICK AUGUSTUS RElGNS
The Period of the Royal Mourning
Has Been Fixed to Cover TweA-
ty-Four Weeks--Preparing
For the Funeral.

Dresden, Saxony, Oct liking
George of Saxony died at Pillnitz carly
Saturday morning, shortly after he had
designated Crown Prince Frederick
Augustus, husband Of the clipping
Crown Princess Louise, to take up
the duties as king because of his seri-
GUS Illness.
Prince John George and the Princess
Mathilde were at the bedside of King
George when he expired.
The new king, Frederick Augustus,
eldest son of the deceased monarch, re-
ceived the ministers and officers of the
royal household and fixed the period Of
mourning at "a weeks. The king was
also occupied with many details of TAX
Ing over the government and consult
Ing in relation to the funeral and
mourning arrangements.
The shutters are up at all the shop
windows, flags are at half-mast and
the bells are tolling.
King George was born August 1882,
and succeeded his childless brother AL
bert two years ago, thus dispossesslng
Queen Caroline. The state religion Of
Saxony is Catholic, but Queen Caro-
line was Protestant princess, and the
birth Of an heir to the throne might
have changed the religion of the state.
The family of King George is devoted
to the church of Rome, his eldest son,
Prince Maximilian being bishop OF
Kuhn and being in addition profess
sor in the University Of Freyburg.
Frederick Augustus, crown prince of
Saxony, who succeeds to the throne,
married the Archduchess Louisie Of
Austria, daughter of the grand duke Of
Tuscany. The new king has the repu-
tatlon Of being rather dull and heavy
witted. Like most Of his family, he Is
soldier pure and simple. He has
lived life of one of his rank without
any serious scandal or without having
lone anything particularly brilliant.
His greatest claim to fame, outside of
The fact that he was crown prince Of
5axony, has been that he was the hus-
band Of the clipping Princess Louise.
He has three children.
The new king was sincerely attached
10 his wife, and it Is regarded as not
at all impossible that some sort o. a
reconciliation may be patched up be-
tween the two. 1t has more than once
been hinted that only the irreconclla-
BILE opposition of the dead king has
prevented reconciliation before this.
