Fine Singer.

This is what the Peoria Herald said
OF the singing of the Prima Douna of
"Irma Opera Co.." "The singing of
Miss Emma Abbott De Bold was the
feature of the evening. She possesses
a pure sweet soprano voice which she
uses beautifully and with the skill of
an artist. She was enthusiastically
encored on her every appearance.
During the recent visit Of Alton Seidl
the famous maestro, he heard Miss
De Bold sing and praised her work
very highly While in the Opera Of
Miss America" tue music is catchy
and popular, there is still opportunity
for Miss De Bold to show some of her
excellent vocal work, which never
fail TO delight the audience. Miss

A LexatIve cough syrun.

"a cold or cough nearly always pro-
duces constipation-the water all runs

passing out of the system through the

Kennedys Lexative Honey and Tar is
the original Lexative Cough Syrup.

Burglar Got Away.

Night Marshal Lee Webb trapped a
burglar in J.. T. Ratciiff's grocery
store last night, but failed to land
him. Lee found the rear window OF
the store open and went in through
the same place as the thief, and while
he was examlng the front part Of the
store. the thief, who had remained
hid in the back part jumped through
ths lower window pane and made his
getaway. The thief had an outside
accomplice who began whistling sg-
nails as soon as Lee approached the
building. This caused him to fire his
revolver, otherwise he would have
waited for the thief to come out

porter at the Midway.heard the shots
and went out to see what was wrong.
How the thief got away IS mystery

GREASON EXONERATED
MRS. EDWARDS SAYS SHE SLEW
 HER HUSBAND ALONE.
WOman's Statement, if Accepted as True by Board of PardOnss May
 Save Life of Negro Man.

Reading, Pa, Feb. s.-Mrs. Kate Edwards. who is under sentence to be hanged with Samuel Greason. on Thursday next for the murder of her husband, made statement to her counsel today, in which she exonorates Greason from complicity in the mur- der. Her statement will not be given to the public until 1t Is presented to the Board of Pardons, but the infer- ence is left that she has admitted that she alone committed the crime.
 Since Mrs. Edwards and Greason, who is colored, man, were convicted of the murder of Edwards and since the death sentence has been pronounced, extraordinary efforts have been made to save 'them from the gallows. The Board of Pardons here heretofore refus- ed to interfere and the Supreme Court has affirmed the lower courts verdict. If the woman's statement is accepted by the board, 1t may save the mans life. If the woman is spared, 1t will therefore be entirely on sentimental grounds. In the trial much testimony was presented to show that Edwards was as dissolute character, that he drank heavily and that he treated his wife in a brutal manner. It was shown that Edwards was killed while he lay drunk at his home.
 It is expected that execution will at least be postponed in view of the state ment of Mrs. Edwards.

western hemisphere from falling into European hands, if 1t is already under Government by Americans, and in case of territory now owned by Euro pean Powers, from being taken over by other Powers in Europe, then the necessity for Great Britain's mainten- ance of ships and troops in the West Indian possessions ceases, at least to a very large extent
 Why, for example, should we be at the expense of keeping soldiers at Bar bados, Bermuda and Jamaica, when those islands are quite as secure from foreign invasion as Is Cuba or Puerto Rico?
 A Gradual Reduction.
 "No; am convinced that from now onward there will be a gradual reduc- tion of all our naval and military eX- penditure in connection with the West Indian colonies. Port Royal in Ja- maica will no longer be maintained as a nacal dockyard, and the coaling de- pots there and at Santa Lucia will be reduced, and the stan only kept in or der to prevent the establishments fall ing into decay"
 next visited a naval of1cer in order to learn what were his views of the sea service in regard to the subject. He did not consider himself at liberty to permit me to use his name Lor' all though not at this moment in active employ, he holds an official position and must be therefore more or less in the confidence of those in authority. He said: The move Is the very best thing for the efficiency of our navy that has taken place for years
 Like many other men of my stand ing, was at first opposed to the with drawal of all our small ships from foreign stations. You must remember that 1t was the ubiquity of the Brit ish navy which for many years was considered to constitute one of its most valuable assets. It was considered essential that every getatable part of the empire should be visited in its turn, and 1t mattered not how small

 London. Tuesday.-The decision of the British Government to withdraw all the infantry battalions from the West Indian colonies at an early date has been the occasion of considerable discussion in business circles during the last few days, but 1t does not ap- pear to have come as a surprise to army and navy officers.
 Talking today to an officer who re- gently relinquished a high military comand, I learned that the step now to be taken had been under discussion for some time previously.

 While I cannot speak officially, am willing to tell you what my view is, for what 1t is worth.

HMKEGRAPHERs CAME TO MONT

0glhg to storms Western Union Desis- mnted This City as Relay Point, Sending Thirty Expert
 Men to Montgomery.

rWe had the wires and they had the operators without the wires; the only khfng to do to relieve the situation was to send the operators to us"
 This is the way John Carney, Night Chief Operator in the Montgomery of nee of the Western Union Telegraph office. explained the presence of thirty odd extra telegraphers in the local of- Dee last night. 1t was due. to the storms of the last four days All the wires reaching other Southern cities were down; there were idle operators in these cities; the Montgomery off, ice of the Western Union had wires reaching Nashville, Louisville and other cities to the North. Telegraph operators were sent here to man those wires.
 Nearly every train reaching Mont Goinery yesterday brought telegraph operators. bearing typewriters, their tools of trade. From the union rail- way station they went straight to the ofice of the Western Union Company, corner Commerce and Bibb Streets, and five minutes after alighting from their trains they were ticking away for dear life.
 Many of the operators brought great piles of commercial telegrams with them. telegrams that had accumulated
 
 points the last two days. As soon as they reached Montgomery these tele- grams were rushed on the wires and the company had earned it's fee.
 Atlanta and New Orleans are the two great telegraph clearing houses of the South with the Western Union Com pany. At these points telegrams for the whole country are relayed. These two cities have been practically with out te1egraphic communication for the last three days. Montgomery was more fortunate. Nashville and Louis vile could be reached by wires from Montgomery and Nashville and Louis- ville could reach New York and Chi cago. Oficials of the Western Union Company quickly designated Montgom- cry as the relaying points for Eastern telegrams and the army of telegraph operators was despatched to Mont gomery.
 The main cfice of the telegraph com pany at late hour last night was the busiest place In Montgomery. Wires were ticking away and a whole force of clerks were helping the operators.
 Twenty-fiye of the most expert op- orators from Atlanta reached Mont gomery yesterday morning and five telegraphers came in from New Or

the ship was which showed the whita ensign, as she was merely the embodi- ment of all the power and the might behind her.
 VIII Never See Man-OR--War.
 But the ships which were employed on this duty had no fighting value and they tock the services of a large num- Der of officers and men which could be much more worthily employed in more effective vessels.
 Of course, as the result of the with drawal of these small craft in the West Indies, for example, such places as BeliSs and Demerara will now sell dom or never see a man-of-war, nor have we any vessels on that station that can proceed up the Amazon, the Orinoco, or other rivers; but naval squadron will every year cruise about among the islands. and in addition there will always be one fast cruiser left on the station"
 But, although the matter from the military and naval point of view may be satisfactory and the decision of the Government to withdraw the ships and garrisons one that it's professional ad- visers have advocated. it is highly likely that the colonists may look upon the matter from a totally differ ent standpoint. One or two of the English papers have spoken out very strongly, and hope in the course of day or two to obtain some opinions from prominent colonial publicists on this point.

IRON PRODUCTION.
Foreign Inquiries Have Aroused Much
 IntereAt.

Interest.
 Cleveland, O., Feb. 9.-The Iron Trade Review this week says:
 Inquiries received from a foreign government which expects to build a number of battleships have aroused much interest in the East and several shipbuilding concerns are figuring on submitting bids.
 Specifications for finished material, with the exception of a few lines, are crowding the mills to the limit of their capacity, and shipments are gradually falling further behind.
 Production of iron and steel com tinues at a record pace, and that mills should fall behind in their deliveries under such conditions indicates the tremendous specified tonnage they are carrying on their books. In nearly all finished lines deliveries cannot be made in less than a month, while of sizes on which pressure is greatest, shipments are deferred from two to three months.
 The purchase of 25,OOO tons of Bes- semer iron at $15.50 valley furnace for February delivery by the steel corpora tion is by far the most important pig iron transaction of the week.
 Some resale iron has been offered a little below $16 furnace for No. 3. while speculative Bessemer is freely offered at $15.50.
 Southern iron is slightly easier and few furnaces in that section now de- cline orders at $13.5o for Birmingham No. 3.
 An interesting development in the trade Is the effort now being made by one of the leading steel interests to eliminate the scrap dealer to a large extent by incorporating in its new slid ing scale billet contracts a clause com polling the sale of all the billet pur- chasers melting scrap to the seller. The price to be paid for the scrap is to be equal to the selling price of Bes- Semer iron at Plttsburg.
 Premiums of $4 a ton are now asked on billets for prompt delivery and on sliding scale contracts. On account of the present price of Bessemer iron. consumers are compelled to pay $2 above the pool quotations.
