 Error.

The woman resides in Canada. She became a wid- ow in 1892 and remarked in 1893.

NO FURTHER ACTION
Death as Result of Prize Fight on
 Cruiser Yankee.

Washington, Aug 15. Secretary Bo- naparte, after thorough examination of the records in the case of Raphael Cohen, the coal passer on the converted cruiser Yankee, whose death resulted from inuries received in a boxing con- test held on an American warship in Dominican waters on July 9, said to- day that he saw nothing wrongful, all though, of course, it was extremely de- plorable that Cohen should have lost his life. He added that boxing and athletics generally are encouraged in the service because of their beneficial influence on the health of the men, as well as to relieve the tedium of a sail or's life. The court found that neither Cohen's adversary nor any other person was in any wise culpable, and recon- mended that no further action be talk en. Admiral Bradford the findings of the court, as at present informed, and the department finds nothing in the case that calls for action.

BIT OF REEDS T
Building Where He Once Taught

Until recently there stood in a pref

building, which perhaps in its palmy
days had some architectural beauty to
recommend it; but for a long time,
as g and neglect began to show dis
figuring hands upon the structure. its
windows stared blankly and ith shut
tiers creaked upon their rusty hinges
until people fancied the old place was
haunted.
If the old walls could have spoken,
what interesting anecdotes they would
have been able to relate of bygone
days. What tales might be told out
of school,; for this building was once
Van Dorn hall, built expressly for
school purposes and famous as the
place where Thomas B.. Reed. late
speaker of the house of representa-
tiyes, taught school for several
months.
He was then a young man, a giant
in size and strength, fresh from Bow
dom college, and he came to Stockton
to fill the position vacated by his for
mer classmate, w. f. Greene. who rec
commended him highly as his success
or.
1t was the first and last position
held by Tom Reed as a school teach
er; for soon afterward he received the
appointment of assistant ~payInaster in
the U. S. navy, and he then returned
in 1864 to his eastern home.-William
