MUST B. GENTLEMEN
Address. Of Secretary Bonaparte to
Graduating 8Iidshipmen.

Annapolis, Nd. Sept. 12.-Secre-
tary Of the Navy Bonaparte today de-
livered to Sighty-five midshipnen OF
the first class the diplomas, which
they have earned by a special summer
course instead of waiting to graduate
with their classmates next February.
Secretary Bonapartet in his address
said in part;
Young Gentleman: You begin to-
day the work of your professions for
how to do this work. With what sue
cess the days before you will show.
Hereafter you belong to your prO-
fession and. IN my trespass on your
attention this morning, I shall say. but
a few words as to what that profess
sion is.
'First=It is the profession OF gen
tlemans to say this in your case is not
an ebulition of snobbishness. but
the statement of a naatterSof law For
each one of you it is a legal duty to
behave as a gentleman and each OF
you may be tried and punished as for
crime, if he fail in this duty. Some
little time since I had no difficulty in
sustaining the findings of an exanlin-
ing board that an officer who had not
the sentiments, habits and manners of
a gentleman, was professionally dis
qualified" for promotion. Now what
is a gentleman The question may
well be asked for the word is grossly
sometimes much and sometimes little,
and often less than nothing. AS used
nthe laws and regulations governing
our navy, its essential meaning is that
you and your brother officers have
duties beyond the duties of others; that
you have obligations which do not rest
on all members Of this community;
that of you are required a measure of
self control. a readiness for self sacri-
fee, a sensitiveness il honor which it
might be neither reasonable to expect
nor charitable TO exact of all your fell
low citizens. Moreover since whatever
else a gentleman may or may not be.
he is and is thought OF always and
everywhere as a man entitled to re-
spect; it is a part of your professional
duty, a part of the service due your
country at your hands, a part of the
solemn and eternal obligation OF your
oaths that as officers You be. known for
such simplicity and TRUTH such modes
ty of demeanors and such purity of life
as will earn for you the respect Of
good men. From others, these things
may be demanded by religion or philos-
ophy; from you they are but the full
filment Of your promise; without them
you will not be gentlemen in that
sense wherein every good officer must
also be a gentleman
Secondly our profession Is the
profession of arms YOU. have chosen
a military life. Your profession is
school a lifelong school OF self sacri-
teaching of such a school been more
timely to our country's happiness and
honor than it IS today.
II saw not long ago the prediction
that in o years war would be a lost
art I am not prepared to say that
war will never become a lost art for
I am not gifted with that confidence
in my own omniscience which has
been vouchsafed to some among my
countrvmen, but I am quite ready to
say that this happy contamination
will not be attained in forty years or
eighty or until men have become either
better or worse than men,"

END OF WYMAN CASE.

A. ]. Wyman was granted a divorce

annoyance and uneasiness.
Up to two years ago Rev. A. Wyman
was the pastor Of Unity church IN To-
peka and one Of the most popular pas
tors that the church ever had He
was shocked one morning on opening his
mail to find a letter Of the most violent
and indecent kind. At frequent inter
walls after that time he received similar
epistles and finally one day a box OF
cigars was. delivered to him at his
boarding place In POtwin.
He opened them and picking one e.
them out of the box noticed that it was
much heavier than an ordinary cigar.
An investigation showed that a revolver
cartridge with the lead bullet pointing
towards the smoker had been concealed
in it.
Now, thoroughly alarmed. he noti-
fed the postal authorities who placed
secret service men on the trail of the
author of the attempted outrage Then

story was brought out in the trial OF

NAN OF MANY moons:
Charles Estis Twice Promised to Plead
Guilty. But Didn't.

Charles Estis who was captured in
Lincoln, Neb., by a deputy from the
office Of Sheriff Lucas was landed IN the
county Jail this morning wearing about
all of the surplus leg and wrist irons
that the place possesses. He has been
successful in escaping from the officers
on three separate occasions in other sec
tions of the country and Sheriff Lucas
does not care to add to this record by
permitting him to again make his
escape.
Estis is charged with having robbed
a number of stores at Rossville last
winter and since that time has been q
fugitive from Justice. He expressed a
desire to waive his preliminary hearing
in the city court this morning and enter
once so that he could commence serving
his sentence.
He waived his hearing in the city
court THIS morning and was bound over
to the district court under $500 bonds
and was Immediately taken before
Judge Dana as he said that he wanted
to plead guilty.
When he was arraigned before Judge
Dana he had changed his mind and de-
cided that he would not plead guilty He
was taken back to the county jail and
before he was locked up sent word to
the county attorney that he was ready
to plead guilty and accept sentence
For the third time in one day he was
brought before the court. When asked
as to what he wanted to plead he said:
Il am not guilty but I am willing to
enter plea Of guilty as I guess / will
be convicted anyway and I want to
commence serving my time as soon as
possible
County Attorney Hungate refused to
accept such a plea as he rendered and
he was taken back to the county jail
and will have hearing later in the
term.

decided yesterday, to c. S. Friend Of
Randall, Kansas. the owner of Bill
Barleycorn, who captured the race by
winning the last three of the five
heats in the most sensational fashion

protests of this sort are accompanied
by a sworn afi1davft from the professor
