Admiral Dewey Is out in an ex.
preston Of opinion as to the ap.
preaching naval struggle in the
East. He thinks that the Russian
feet is too strong for Togo to at
tack. in general battle, and it
would be folly to risk SO much up
on one battle. If Togo should be
worsted and his vessels scattered,
the Russian feet could cut the
communication between Japan and
Manchuria. Such a result would
not necessarily be fatal, but it
would infict losses and distress
upon the great Japanese afmy Of
half a million men. Admiral
Dewey is OF openion that Togo
will attempt to cut the Russian
fleet to pieces hg piecemeal as he
did at Port Arther. When he
destroyed the Spanish feet at Ma
nilla Admiral Dewey says he was
in q quandary. he could not re-
tire with dignity, and il he stayed
it was possible for Spain to send
out her home feet to cut him off.
In this predicament he cabled to
Washington to have a. fleet pre-.
paired and sent to threaten the
coast OF Spain. This was a bril-
liant ruse. The Spanish fleet,
which had already passed through
the Suez canal, was recalled to
meet the theatened danger. Had
ii continued to Manili no doubt
Dewey would have been compelled
to get away, and there are now
very many people who believe
that this is what he should have
done. The inference to be drawn
from this story is that Japan
should threaten the Russian coast
in the Baltic. A demonstration
made in that direction would prob
ably disturb the Russian campaign
and call back many vessels to de,
fend the coast and the shipping Of
the Baltic. If Togo had a captain
like Raphael Semmes and swift
cruiser he could sweep Russia's
commerce from the seas. AS to
sending a portion of his fleet to
harness the Russian coast, Togo
would have no more difficult task
than the Russians have had in
sending their Baltic fleet around
the world.

Mrs. Cassie Cadwick, who got
millions from the Ohio banks by
forging the name Of Andrew Car
negie, has been sentenced to ten
years in prison, but has asked and
may get a new trial. While this
woman is Of course guilty, as
charged, it is our opinion that she
was made a mere cats paw by a
set of men, including some Of the
bankers alleged to have been
swindled, and that their names
and methods viii be made public
when the woman finds that there
is no chance for her to avoid i'm
prisonment. To say that a bank
er would hand over millions Of
dollars to a woman, or anyone,
without the closest examination
OF the securities offered, is to say
that he is either fool, or a party
to the division sure to be made a
little latter. There Is just a bare
chance, however, that some Of the
bankers and some outside shreWd
business men with the woman as a
go between, took a desperate
chance at forging the name Of Car
negie, believing that he would die,
or that they could have him killed,
before the exposure was made; it
may be that they believe that after
his death there would be none to
question the signatures and that
the paper would be Immediately
redeemed by his executor. At any
rate we believe there are more
concerned in this gigantic juggling
of millions than the lone hyster-
ical wife Of a doctor. And the
woman will tell if che is not saved
from prison,

spent it with a merchant . "beiore

back. Four times in six years

for produce and three times he
heard Of it in the pockets Of his
neighbors. The last time he got
it four years ago he sent it to a
mail order house. He has not
seen the dollar since and never
will. That dollar will never pay

The little city Of Alderman is
becoming active to the building Of
churches and two splendid new
ones will go up this summer. This
is we'll and good. Every COM
munAy should be well supplied
with churches where the people can
worship according to the dictates
OF their consclences, and comfort
able and cOmmodious school
buildings where the youngsters
can be properly fitted for the bat
ties of life. Money spent in good
public buildings is not squandered
by any means. The first impress
sion a stranger receives from a
town comes from the churches and
schools, Better public buildings
are the rule in Mississippi now.

cation, in order to make room for

Of v. Albera. in the presence Of the
board and a few friends who had

The national colors were the keynote
of decoration and the rooms were
most gracelly draped with festoons
of crepe paper in alternate strips Of
red. white and blue. caught up by
small flags.
A pleasing glow was spread over
everything by the light from the
tri-colored candles and the chan
deliers, being subdued by crimson
shades. An appropriate musical
program was rendered throughout
the afternoon and the interest Of
the guests was divided between a
fine portrait Of Washington, q side

and the cardinal frappe.
The menu was in harmony with
the general color scheme and con-
sisted of oyster patties. saratoga
chips, hot biscuits, jelly. brick ice

In the dining room paper hatchets
painted with cherries were given as
souvenirs.

costumes and one hundred and fifty
friends enjoyed the charming hospi-

Griffith, Of New York, came here yes
terday from Cleveland TO try to close
a deal for Jack Slattery, the Milwaukee
catcher, who Is now playing outlaw ball
in New England. After he learned the
conditions under which Milwaukee
claimed Slattery he decided that he
would not have him al any price.
II don't want Slattery II he Is the
man that Cantil!cn says he is" said
GriHith last night. "and, furthermore
/ don't need A catcher any longer. for
philadelphia has provided me with a
man. ! don't want 10 encourage Slat-

Milwaukee bought Slattery from the
White Sox for $1,000, but he failed TO
play up 10 the $1,000 standard. and his
rciary for this year was reduced. Then
he was sold TO the Des Moines Club,
hut refused 20 play. going to an outlaw
New England team instead.
