When Dewey Cried

The following story of Admiral
Dewey is told by one of the sailors
who returned on the Raleigh. Just
before the battle OF Manila. when the
order was given to strip for action,
the smallest powder boy on the flag
ship dropped his coat overheard. He
asked permission to jump after 1t, but
was refused. lie went to the side OF
the ship, dropped overheard, re
covered his coat and was promptly ar
rested for dsobedience. Admiral
Dewey spoke kindly to him, who be-
gan to weep, and said the coat con
tanned his mothers picture, which he
had just kissed, and he could not bear
to see 1t lost. Dewey's eyes filled
with tears. He fairly embraced the
boy, and ordered him to be released
saying: Boys who love their moth

Just Discrimination In Railway Rates.

JUST OiSCTiFnIVdttoU 'It halfway Ndtcs'
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject In responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer Of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: There is no III.
vision of opinion as to the desirability
of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises or
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer. in speaking OF "un-
Justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices. makes q distinction which Is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex com
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyze
the industries Of cities, states and
whole sections Of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between Just and
unjust discrimination Is clearly recog-
nized In the conclusions of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
| Tariffs should be based on CONNER
| cial principles, taking into account the
| special conditions which bear upon the
| commercial value of the services rem
| dered With the reservation that rates
| shall be charged without arbitrary dis
| elimination To all shippers alike under
! like conditions, the making OF rates
| should as far as possible have all the
| elasticity necessary to permit the devei-
| opment of the traffic and to produce the
| greatest results to the public and to the
| railroads themselves"
The present proposal Is. as Mr..
| Walker ID. Hines Of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
Justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates VIII cannot be
changed except by the Intervention OF
some government tribunal, ard by this
very process to increase "the tempta
tion to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent com
mercial condition. York Sun.

Cincinnati, July 15.-An interesting
exchange of messages, just made pub

of his new position as the premier
member of President Roosevelt's cab

When the newspapers a few days
ago were discussing the probability of
Mr.. Roots accepting the office made
vacant by the death of the late Sec
retary Hay, J. P. woodward, presi-
dent of the Union Terminal company
of this city, a warm admirer of the
new secretary, sent him the following

day, at and p. m, for an entire
week. All concerts are scheduled to
be given in the sound shell. Should
it rain any day at concert time, the
concert will be given in the park
theater.
The personnel of the Innes organi-
zation is the same as during his en-
gagement for the solid month of
June at the Portland exposition
Foremost among his soloists are Mrs.
Emma Partridge, soprano, and Bo-
humir Kryl, cornetist. The former is
new to Topeka, but she has achieved
a great success with the band She
is on all the evening programmes.
Bohunir Kryl, the Bohemian cor
netist, is generally acknowledged as
king of this instrument. His playing
when Innes was heard in the Audi
torium three years is well remem-
bered. His programme number was
Levy piece, but when he responded
with The Honeysuckle and the Bee"
enthusiasm knew no bounds. Kryl is
| phenomenon. He seems to have
the most wonderful natural fitness
for cornet playing of any of the per-
dianapolis when Innes heard him
play at a musicale. The bandmaster
at once made long term contract
with him, agreeing on his part to
make him a great concert performer
Innes taught him all the tricks OF
I
trombonist in the world, knew. Kryl
is on all afternoon and evening pro-
grammes.
In addition to these two there is q
large corps of instrumental soloists
of rank who will be heard in such
numbers as 'II Trovatore." There is
a duet by Till for French horn and
flute and a quartette for French
horns. The Verdi selection will bring
out the full strength of the instru-
mental solo corps.
| Special excursion trains and a one
fare round trip rate on regular trains
by the Santa Fe will bring in tomor-
row probably 1000 persons for the
opening concerts. The desire to heal
the band is practically universal ir
the city. The thFongs at the park to-
| morrow will be enormous, as this will
be the first chance for persons in the
city to hear the band in the coming
| engagement. Added to the excur.
sionists, great crowds will result. Spe-
cial preparations have been made by

the street railway company to handle
the throngs.
Concerts VIII Be Free.
Notwithstanding the expensive
character of the engagement to the
Vinewood park management, there
will be no charge at the park entrance.
Seats in the sound shell enclosure will
be sold at 10 cents. 1t is therefore
possible to hear a concert for 20
cents, the amount of the street car
fare from any part of the city to the
park and back. The maximum
amount which anyone can spend on a
concert is 80 cents. When Innes
played in the Auditorium the prices
were from 25 cents to 81, and of
course these did not include street
car fare.
Two novelties which have peculiar In
terest for the people of Topeka and
Kansas will be given by Innes at one
of the concerts during the week. They
are America Our Own" by w. L.
Hofer of Topeka and ''Ironquili'' by
Thurlow Lieurance. a Kansas composer
Both are marches. The arrangement
for full military band OF Mr.. Hofer's
piece has been made by Carestia, the
arranger for the Banda Rossa AS it's
name implies, Mr.. Lieurance's compost
tion has been named for and dedicated
to the Kansas poet "Ironquiii," Eugene
F.. Ware of Topeka. This is just of the
press and will have its first perform
ance by band or orchestra at Vine

the Worlds Greatest
Skin Cures.
PRICE THE SET ST.
Complete Treatment for Every
humour, from Pimples
to SCr0fula.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of

SCALED head the facial Disagreement,
as in pinlples and ringwOrn; the
awful suffering of infants and the
anxiety of WORKOUT parents, as IN

demand a remedy of almost super
human virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticura Soap, Oint-

beyond all doubt. No statement is
made regarding them that is not justi-
fed by the strongest evidence. The
purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief, the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the abb
solute safety and great economy, have
made them the standard skin cures
and hunour remedies of the civilized
world.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered the Cuticura remedies is
their worldwide sale, due to the per-
sona1 recommendations of those who
have used them. From small begin
ming in the simplest form, against
prejudice and opposition, against
monied hosts, countless rivals, and
trade Indifference, Cuticura remedies
have become the greatest curatives of
their time, and, In fact, of all time,
for nowhere in the history of medicine
is to be found another approaching
them in popularity and sale. In every

met with the same reception. The

TIE FALL OF PORT ARTHUR

The capitulation of Port Arthur,
after stubborn resistance of eleven
months, brings to an end the most
famous seige in history.
At the beginning of hostilities be-
tween Japan and Russia Port Arthur
was garrisoned with an army of 40
600 soldiers under command of Gen
eral Stoessel and was thought to be
impregnable as it was surrounded by
high rock ribbed hills, but nothing
seems to be impossible to the brave
and wiry Japanese.
When General Stoessel capitulated
his army had been reduced to $1,000
and these brave men were on the
point of hunger and ctarvation His
further resistance would have<been a
crime against humanity.
The world is as high in its applause
of General Stoessel's stubborn defense
as it is in praise OF the heroism of
Port Arthur's captors.
What effect Inc fall of Port Arthur
will have upnn the continuance of the
war between the two nations cannot
yet be anticipated but of course it
puts the japanese at a great advant-
age.
