GUEST An FOUNDERS AND PA
TRIoTs' NEW york BANQUET.

The standard Of the Order OF the Found
ers and Patriots of America--the red cross
of st. Andrew on field of white and thir-
teen stars IN a blue canton-foated from the
Hotel Manhattan In New York last night.
The Founders and Patriots celebrated the
2g9th anniversary OF the permanent settle
ment of jamestown with a banquet. at
which Admiral George Dewey was the prin-
cipal speaker.
The order was founded In 1893 by Gen.
Fred D. Grant, George Clinton Batcheiier
Col Ralph E. Prime. John Quincy Adams
Robt. B. Roosevelt and number Of others
who had first settlers for ancestors and
there are now four state societies. those of

Connecticut. 1t was the general court OF
the order composed of the officers Of these

the Hotel Manhattan last night.
Theodore Fitch, governor or the rev

said the order ought to earn the praise OF
mankind because 1t gives the ladies seats
at its banquet table. Then he talked about
the navy a little before introducing Ad-
miral Dewey.
Ovation for Dewey.
Admiral Dewey was introduced as the
greatest American sailor since John PAU
Jones. The Founders and Patriots got up

keifer made a speech in which he said that
the old saying In time OF peace prepare
for war; is obsolete, and that this motto has
taken its place: In peace prepare to main

CHICAGo's CRIME TABLE.
One Murder for Every Twenty-Four
Hours In Year

Disturbance in the public streets every six
seconds; an arrest made by the police every
seven and one-flalf minutes; an arrest FOR
drunkenness every fifteen minutes; larceny
committed every twenty minutes; assault
and battery every twenty-seven minutes;
burglary every three hours; hold-up COM
mltted every six hours; two suicides every
twenty-four hours; one murder every
twenty-four hours.
The foregoing time table of crime, de-
clared to be based on official records, was
embodied in address to the Chicago
presbytery yesterday by Mckenzie Cleiand.
In his speech Mr.. Cleiand roundly scored
Mayor Dunno, saying:
THE mayor denies that we are engulfed
by a tidal wave of crime and calmly ex-
plains that 1t Is merely a stream of crime
which is descending as result of the lax
ity of preceding city administrations.
This excuse shows that man may
make good Judge on the bench and i
very bad mayor

FAMILY OF NINE MURDERED.
Bodies of the Victims Afterward Gre

An itinerant preacher named Alderman,
his wife and seven children, the Oldest

polntment They found the home a mass
of ruins and the charred bodies of Acker-
man, hts wife and children among the
wreckage There were indications that all
had been murdered before the building was
fired, as the skull of each was crushed.
The body of Alderman was found near
the doorway leading from the bed room in

gave birth to a child on Friday last. was
with that of her infant child at the TIRES
hold Of the house. The Oldest child was
found near the door leading out to the
front porch. The bodies of three boys lay
practically where the bed upon which they
slept had stood. When party from Milton

quarter of mile away. This neighbor
says he knew nothing of the fire until yes
terday morning. when he saw that the
building had been destroyed and notified
other neighbors before trying to ascertain
the damage.
Alderman moved to the settlement. which
was known as Attention. from Opp, Ala,
about three year ago. While he had no
regular charge II was his custom to preach
occasionally throughout that section Of
Santa Rosa county. He was not known to
have had any enemies. and the motive for
the crime Is mystery.
