RooseveIt's Ways.

New York Times
 MT. Roosevelt has been engaged in public life somthing over a score of years, and almost any day of that time he has been denouncing and trying to reform evils of various sorts. His energy and persistence in this work have had some influence in leading the public to believe that, on the whole. we are in a pretty bad way Others than he, with less practical shrewdness facts, may have been led by his career to think that we are in. worse way than actually we were. The correction of this error lies not in denouncing them IS men with a muck rake" but in publishing the facts. There are crit ics of the President who think that he Is largely responsible for the undue heat of the public mind; that his ten Is wrong. is to go for it as if 1t was wholly and always wrong, and that his own excitahility spreads like infec- public. Yet MT. Roosevelt would not like, on this account, to be held up as the man with a undertake" Like the rest of us, he is fallible. It does lay down. rules which only lnfaflible men could possibly carry out fully.
 In the course of his rather long speech, Mir. Roosevelt submits one def inite proposition of National policy to grapple with the problems connected with the amassing of enormous for tunes" It is as follows:
 AS matter of personal conviction, and without pretending to discuss the details or formulate the system, feel that we shall ultimately have to con slider the adoption of some such scheme as that of a progressive tax on all fortunes, beyond a certain amount
 either given in life or devised or be- queathed upon death to any individual "a tax so formed as to put 1t but of the power of the owner of one of these enormous fortunes to hand on more than a certain amount to any one indi- viduaI; the tax, of course. to be i'm State Government. Such taxation should of course, be aimed merely at the in- heritence or transmission In their en- tirety of those fortunes swollen be- yond all healthy limits"
 This Is a very sweeping proposition. It is to prevent by taxation the trans mission In their entirety of fortunes swollen beyond all healthy limits. What are healthy limits?" They can not now be the same that they might have been held to be fifty years ago, or that they may be held to be fifty years hence How are they to be fixed? By taxation ?7-Clearly 1t would be direct" How is it to be apportiuned among the several States according to their respective members, as ascertained con additionally? If Mp. Roosevelt has not considered all these thorny ques- tions, one is tempted to think he might better stick to his generalities. vague. inadequate and void of definite value as these sometimes are.

 Ex-Judge John F. Dillon. long coun- seI for the Gould interests, gave hts personal opinion today on those para graphs in President Roosevelt's speech relating to the taxing of large inheri- tances He said.

 The girls grouped themselves around on the grass near brooksfde and as the lesson went on the brook sang and sparkled and the sound of it's lullaby and the gleam of it's waters made inu- sic and sunshine in our souls. We learned a great deal about botany In those enchanted afternoons. and we learned. too, a love of nature that is not gained by those who study her only in dried specimens between white washed walls.
 You may be interested to know tha we always carried a luncheon on the expeditions, and 1t was not the least interesting part of the occasion. Girls who fell below a certain percentage in their studies were not permitted to take up botany in their work. The op- portunity of studying nature was thus made very honorable and precious. ard we held it as something worth Strjv- ing for.
 The study of astronomy captivates those who have a scientific turn of mind. To learn the names of the con- stellations and to recognize some or the planets when they appear above the horizon Is not beyond any ordinary mind. but the study of astronomy Is, on the whole, too abstruse to be attractive to very young girls. Definitions and formulas you may learn, but to grasp the principles of astronomy you require maturity and insight; for these you must wait But you need not walt to learn by heart Addison'e exquisite lyric that begins:

A man who has just come out of the Kantishna country says: "The miners in the Kantishitna are the most ener- getic lot it has ever been my fortune to meet. Their alarm clocks begin bug zing at o'clock in the morning and you can see the smoke curling from their chimneys, and you can hear them cutting wood long after dark. They have punched holes all over the creeks and benches, wherever water did not interfere and when they could find nothing else to do they have busied themselves with preparatory work stocking up with game, cutting wood and getting everything in shape so that their whole time can be devoted to mining whenever the weather will per init. They have built themselves good cabins and in most instances,they have pulled in their own supplies.

THEY WRITE THE BIG CHECK

The deal was closed last Monday evening, by the city council, by which the City of Douglas became the owner of the "Chisholm" property on D street, extending from Front to Second street. A city warrant was drawn In payment, for the sum of $500, SlOO having been previously paid to bind the bargain.
 The City will now be in position to widen D street, to conform with the other streets of the city. This portion of D street has long been an eye-sore to all who take pride in the appearance of the town. It has been dubbed by various names, in spirit of derision, such as Paradise Alley, Hogan's Alley Sc.
 Other considerations besides the looks of the place led the council to make the purchase, chiefamong which is the question of fire protection, as, because of the proximity of the build ings it would be impossible to fight fire on either side of the street.
 Several plans are under considera- tion by the council, in regard to this street, and it is certain that one or the other of them will be worked out by the council in the spring. One plan is to make the street the full width, from the Hunter Hotel to the Old Standard, by tearing out all the intervening buildings. This plan is objected to, because of the great expense, it being argued that narrower street would answer every purpose, and a strip of ground could be left, next to the Stan dard lot, that would sell for a good round sum for business lot. Another plan is, as suggested, to widen the present street, to the width of Front street, by moving the buildings over next to the Standard lot. This plan IS opposed by some of the owners of ad- joining property, and several have eX- pressed their willingness to help the city pay the expense rather than to let this be done. One man volunteered to subscribe $500 for this purpose. Others who are interested have not been heard from.
 Tenants in the buildings will be served with notices to vacate in the spring, so that whatever may be the final plan it may be carried out with out hindrance. The buildings are now occupied by pr. J. Heubner's Drug Store, Wortman & Jensen, Hardware, Ed. Andrews, Photographer, and Mrs. Chisholm and family are living in the upper rooms of the building on Second street.

It is a question if the same indifference would have been shown by our neigh bors had they known that the deceased had checks and notes on him to the value of $500.

 In offenses of this kind it is at

Very nat urally outside persons who have no knowledge of the facts, and no re- sponsibility for the success of the proceedings, are apt to clamor for ac- tion against the individuals. The department of justice has, most wise- ly, invariably refused thus to pro- ceed against individuals, unless 1t was convinced both that they were in fact guilty and that there was at least reasonable chance of establishing this fact of their guilt. These beef packing cases offered one of the very few instances where there was not only the moral certainty that the accused men were guilty, but what seemed. and now seems, suf- ficient legal evidence of the fact.
 But in obedience to the explicit order of the congress the commis- sioner of corporations had investi- gated the beef packing business. The counsel for the beef packers explicit ly admitted that there was no claim that any promise of immunity had been given by MT Garfield"

DISCOVERED A CAVE.
People of Charlestown Panic Stricken
 By Discovery.

Chicago, April 1S.-A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Charles town, w. Va, says: The city of Charlestown was thrown into a panic yesterday by the discovery of a gigantic cave directly beneath the town, the top of which is near enough the surface of the earth to make the situation appear precarious to the inhabitants. Many residents have fled from the city and others are pre- pairing to leave soon. The cave con tains a large lake.
 Men blasting rocks made the dis coyery of the lake and cavern when the discharge caused the earth to crumble and fall in. leaving a great hole. Workmen ventured into the cavern. exploring 1t for considera- ble distance. They discovered the lake, and returning to the surface procured small boat in which they rowed about for several hundred yards.
 There are limestone formations in the cavern similar to those in the noted Luray caves. The water of the lake is remarkably pure and is cold and sweet to the taste.
 The cavern runs from the point of discovery directly under the city of Charlestown.
 A systematic exploration of the cavern will be begun to-day. and ex- perts will be called upon 10 solve the problem as to whether there is any danger to the city.

 FAMOUS SPY LEFT STATEPRISONT TODAY HE IS KNOWN AS THE MAN WITH A COUGH An Old Time Confidence Man Who Was Cut Of By His Parents at an Early Age for His
 High Living.

Chicago, April 1S-A dispatch to the Tribune from Michigan City, Ind, says: '1he man with cough" Col .onel A. B. Ward, one time confederate army officer and daring spy, one of the men sent north to burn New Yorl, city during the civil war, was released from state prison here yesterday.
 Ward is one of the last of the old time confidence men. Born near ln- dianapolis of wealthy parents I3 years ago, he was cast off by his family because of too high living. La- ter in Washington, D. C., he killed an army officer and fled south where at the outbreak of the rebellion he en- listed in the confederate army.
 The second year of the war he was sent north to burn New York city, and was arrested while applying the torch to the Astor house. Sentenced to be hanged, he devoted himself to the care of confederate prisoner sold iers while in prison so that President Lincoln pardoned him.
 After the war Ward ran a packet on the Mississippi river which was fit- ted up lavishly and he numbered among it's patrons the biggest gamb- lers in the United States. He iatcr went to New York and on one Occas- ion he broke Phil Daly's gambling house, winning over S30000 in ono night
 Wards health gradually slipped away and he took to forging checks and he has served more than a score of terms in prison during the last forty years.
 He got the title "The man with a cough" several years ago when he secured a pardon from southern prison by coughing and regarded his cough as his principal stock in trade
