SECRETARY OF STATE,
AND LITTLE BREECHES.'

There is no more deep-rooted convic-
ton in the minds of the people OF the
country than the belief that Secretary
Hay IS opposed to connection OF MS
name with the authorship OF Little
Brooches" and other equally delightful
Pike Country ballads. When the Wash
irgton correspondents are short on copy
for their weekly letters TO the home
papers. they repeat the interesting story
OF the wrath aroused in the bosom of
the Secretary of State when reference
is made IN his presence TO the first Of
his literary efforts.
The story runs that Mr.. Hay, being
a gentleman of exceedingly refined taste

The pastor declined the invitation for the reason the funeral of his oldest deacon had been publicly announced for that very hour, and he would not. hurt the feelings of the family if hef lost his church. MT. Rockefeller had already planned to start on a tour South with his family in private car the day after on which he had invited the conscientious minister to dinner. When the reply of the pastor reached him, he said to his private secretary: T admire the consciousness of that minister. Telegraph to the president Of the New Jersey Central Railroad that I want my private car one day later. Write to the paster inviting him to my house to dinner day after tomorrow The pastor attended the funeral, to the comfort of the family, the day following dinned with MT. Rockefeller, and went away with a pledge of s1O,000 for the mortgage, or whatever was necessary to lift it is addition to what the church could give. .--Esx- Secretary M R.

nitude of the disaster spread like Wlld- fire throughout the city and the main facts were embellished in picturesque detail, notwithstanding the official dec- laration
 ; The admiralty is without reports of the defeat. Private advices are said to have reached the city from Vladivos- tok, saying that Admiral Rojestvensky is alive, but had a narrow escape. He is said to have transferred his flag from the Kniaz Souvaroff to one of the bat tleships subsequently, sunk and that he was wounded and picked up by a tor pedo boat.
 . A large portion of the officers and sailors Of the fleet were residents of St. Petersburg, and evidences of expect ant grief are seen on every hand. Wives and families are besieging the admiralty and are, visiting the churches to pray for the escape. of their loved ones. yt F,+8f*t5s5
 Many of the people of St. Petersburg refuse absolutely to credit the news from Tolsio and are clutching at the belief that perhaps it is not official.
 The government undoubtedly fears the effect of the news of the disaster upon the country as evidence of which Governor General Trepoff has taken personal charge of the censorship in St. Petersburg. ., st 4 IS #
 Peace demonstrations are generally expected, though pending the decision of the government with regard to the opening of negotiations, it is impossible to predict what stand the anti-goV- ernment forces may take. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER,S KIND-
 NESS. eas .-
 I have never met a man of wealth hvho would sacrifice his personal con- venience and also that of his family so willingly, to do an. act of kindness, as MT. Rockefeller. The following is an illustration which cannot be sur- passed: A classmate of mine was pastor of downtown church in New York, from which all the rich men had moved away uptown, but two, and they were no men of large means.
 There was mortgage of $25,000 on the church, which it was necessary to raise to save the church. MT. Rocke- feller was approached in the matter and responded at once: T admire a miniter who will work among the poor;. I will be glad to help. Tell the pastor to take dinner with me tomorrow night and we will talk the matter over.'

TRAINER MURPHY TO LEAVE.

Offer of U. of P. Will Probably be Ac-
 cepted, Although Graduates Are
 Working to Have Him Remain.
 Michael c. Murphy, the Yale general athletic trainer and coach, stated when he returned to this city late yesterday afternoon from the University of Penn sylvania, where he went Saturday with the track team, that he would probably accept the handsome offer made to him by the University of Pennsylvania. MT. Murphy, however, has not given a def Unite answer and the Yale managers and graduates in touch with athletics hope that a proposition may be framed that will prevail upon him to stay in New Haven.
 MT. Murphy's offer from the Univeri- ty of Pennsylvania is said to include @ $5,000 salary, which is considerably more than he receives at Yale, and a full professorship and the dictatorship of the new gymnasium, as we'll as the life use of a handsome Philadelphia home.
 The five year contract which Mr. Murphy signed in 1900 expired Satur- day.
 Julian w. Curtiss of New York city is conducting negotiations directly with MT, Murph yin an effort to prevail upon him to remain at Yale.
