PREACHER HAD COIN MoULps.
Federal Grand Jury to Hear Case
Against Rev. j. r. Kaye.

Lincoln, ILL.,, June Anew develop
ments occurred Monday in the case of
Rev. James R. Kaye, under investiga-
ton for having molds of United States
coins. A sensational hearing before
the federal grand jury in Springfield is
in prospect. Acting upon discoveries
made here Saturday by Capt Porter,
of the secret service bureau of Chi
cago, District Attorney Northcott Mon
day caused to be issued a number of
subpoenas summoning prominent citi-
zens before the grand jury. They are
to tell what they know of the actions
of Mr.. Kaye, former pastor of the Pres
byterian church in this city, who now
lives in Oak Park
United States Marshal Townsend
served the papers which make it nee
essary for friends and neighbors of
Mr.. Kaye to go before the grand jury
on Friday, June H. Included in the list
of witnesses cited are men prominent
in business and church circles.
The local police laugh at the idea
that the preacher manufactured the
molds they have discovered for the
purpose of making medals for Sunday
school children. Capt. Madigan, who
first made the discovery of the coming
outfit in the basement of Mr.. Hayes
former home, says the dies he found
are surely for molding half-dollars and
quarters. An affair for striking off
paper money, which Capt. Porter
found in an clubhouse at the old Kaye
residence, is rubber plate attached
to wooden base.
The police say they have been in.
formed that local merchant has in
his possession a number of counterfeit
half-dollars which were passed on him
some time ago. This is being investi-
gated.

Prominent CIerics of the West Present
at the Ceremony-President
Sends Congratulations.

St. Paul, Mimi, June 3.-The corner
stone of the fourth cathedral of ST..
Paul, which, when completed four
years hence, will probably surpass any
other American church in architec-
tural distinction and beauty, was laid

laymen. The ceremonies followed a
review by Archbishop Ireland and his
guests, at the cathedral, of the largest
religious parade yet seen in the north
west
The cathedral will be completed in
about four years. 1t will cost up
wards of $3,000,000, of which $70O,0 900
has already been subscribed.
Bishop McGolrick, of Duluth, as
senior bishop of the province, laid the
corner stone with silver trowel and
mallet.

pal address and read this message
from the president:

forward hand in hand. l congratulate

AFFECTS TAXATION OF GRAIN
Important Decision Made by Mime.
sofa Supreme Court.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June L. The
supreme court has decided that the
Northwestern Elevator company of
Minneapolis need not pay the personal
property assessment on $4,000 bushels
of grain stored in it's elevators at the
Minnesota transfer The only tax
that can be collected from the North
western Elevator company is on it's
Office furniture, which amounts to
about $3.50.
This is considered most impor-
tant decision, as it may affect ev-
cry elevator company in the state in
regard to taxation of the grain in the
elevators. The assessment on the
grain in the northwestern elevator at
the Minnesota transfer was about
$3.50.

Science VS.. Charlatanisn,

Nothing in years has made the
chemists rage together so furiously as
the exploited discovery" of a com.
pound which will make ashes burn
better than coal. OF one formula
we are aware that this was not the
one tried in hotel boiler room the
other day-Prof Gill, of the Massa.
chusetts Institute of Technology, says:
1T contains nothing, nor can it make
anything, that in any way will aid
combustion" Even il the inventors
preposterous theory of it's working be
accepted, the professor says that the
heating capacity of a gallon of the
mixture would be about equal to that
of piece of coal the size of pea.
Why" the scientific men all ask,
docs this piece of charlatanism get
itself spread broadcast over the coun-
try when discoveries Of real scientific
Importance go unheralded?" We do
not know of any reason which would
not apply equally to medical nostrums.
They create sensations because Of. the
prodigious value they would have if
they were only real. The inventors OF
ash-burning formulate, remarks the
New York Post, might well ask their
academic critics to point to any
achievement of science within, say, Is
years that would benefit directly and
Indirectly so many people as method
for burning ashes.

VETERANS IN GRAY DEDICATE
MEMORIAL TO PRESIDENT
OF THE coNFEDERAcY.
Great Military Parade Precedes the
remonies-Daughter of Leader
of "The Lost Cause" Pulls Cord
Releasing Covering.

Richmond, Va, June A memorial
to Jefferson Davis, only president of
the Confederacy, was unveiled Mon
day as the browning feature of the
annual reunion of the confederate vet
Grams. There was a grand military
pageant" in which every veteran in
gray who was physically able, as well
as many who were not, participated
with energy and enthusiasm.
The unwilling was the fruition of Is
years of patient and loving effort, and
every man who wore the southern uni
form had in his heart desire to be
present. The thanks of the entire
south were offered by the orators of
the occasion to the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, whose work it was
that made the monument association
a success.
Thousands Cheer the Parade.
The streets we're brilliantly decor
ated. There was scarcely house or
business building in the city that was
not profusely draped with confederate
colors and bunting. This was espe-
cially true of Franklin street and Mon
ument avenue, the line of march for
the procession to the monument.
The parade started at 1870 o'clock.
The military feature was similar TO
the parade on the first day of the re-
union, when the statue of Maj. Gen.
]. E. B. Stuart was unveiled, but there
were far more veterans in gray in the
line. Veterans of every section of the
south marched in honor of their rever-
ed leader. Gen. Smith Boiling, OF
Petersburg, Va, was chief marshal.
The ceremonies at the Davis monu-
ment were opened with prayer by Rev.
DR.. ]. William Jones, of Richmond,
chaplain general. The first address
was by Gov. Claude A. Swanson, of
Virginia. He was followed by Mayor
Carlton Mccarthy, of Richmond, who
introduced Gen Evans as orator OF
the day.
Davis Daughter Unveils Shaft.
Mrs. J. A. Hughes, of Colorado
Springs, Colo, daughter of Mr.. Davis,
pulled the cord that held the canvas
which covered the bronze statue. Her
two young sons caught the two cords
used to complete the unwilling. There
was a second or two OF absolute ST.
lence, then cheering burst forth,
bands played, and the Richmond how
itzers began firing the presidential
salute. Afterward garlands were plac-
ed on the pedestal of the monument.
Mrs. Norman Randolph, of Richmond,
chairman of the central committee OF
the monument association, made an
address of welcome, to which le-
Spouse was made by Mrs. William j.
Behan, of Mississippi, president OF the
Confederated Southern Memorial as
ISOLATION.
Mrs. George S. Holmes, OF South
Carolina, president of the monument
association, made report OF the work
done, and former Senator Carmack, OF
Tennessee, read response prepared
by Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson,
president general of the United
Daughters of the COnfederacy.

The DipIomatist.

1t used to be said that diplomatist
was a man who was sent abroad to lie
for his country. To-day it would be
much nearer the truth to say that a
diplomatist is a man who is sent
abroad to tell the truth for his coun-
try. A most interesting account has
recently been given of the petition for
better treatment of the Jews, and the
protest against the Kishinef massa-
cres. In order to crafty the signers
of the petition, the state department
forwarded it to Ambassador McCor-
mick at st. Petersburg, although well
aware that the Russian government
could take no official cognizance OF 1t.
When the paper was laid on the table
before Count Lamsdorf, he said, You
know I cannot receive this" Then,
according to the story which is re-
ported by Golfers, Mr. Mccormick re-
piled, "Let us talk for few minutes
as man to man. You are Count Lams.
dorf, and am not an ambassador, but
merely Mr.. Mccormick. The time has
come when you can no longer disre-
gard public opinion. The whole world
is aroused. Do me the great favor,
personally, of keeping this for two or
three days. Then if you are still Of
the same mind, send it back to me,
and no more will be said" In the end
Count Lamsdorf showed the petition
to the car, who was sufficiently i'm
pressed by it to ameliorate somewhat
the condition of the Jews.

johnson Says the American
League Will Have a Later
Opening Next Year.

New York, April 26.-President Ban
johnson of the American league has
come out flatfooted and announced
that there will be no more midwinter
baseball openings for the American
league. johnson says that April IL
was agreed to as the opening date
because the National league people
contended that it was necessary to
open SO early in order to do away
with conflicting dates In the cities
where both have teams.
Never again for us" says Johnson.
"No matter what the National league
may do next season. the opening
games in the American league will
not take place before April IS or 20
at the earliest. If then a schedule
cannot be fixed up which will avoid
conflicting dates, why let them con-
flict. The National league won't get
any the better of it ON conflicts. There
will be 1874 games in the American
schedule and it won't go any later
in the fall, there being enough open
dates in the present schedule to carry
the present early dates, which will be
showed along.
mo reasonable man can expect
spring weather before May in New
York. Boston. Cleveland, Chicago or
Detroit. Even st. Louis, Philadelphia
and Washington have had plenty OF
cold weather this month since the
opening"

Duluth White sox Hope For
Change When Another Man
Joins the Forces.

The Duluth White Sox are going
through as many stunts at Madison

fore dubious and cynical theatrical
manager. The Sox had bad luck at
Freeport but their reverses served to
put additional ginger into them and
they are working out morning and
afternoon at Wisconsin, state capt.
tai.
. The Sox started out like lambs but
they hope to wind up like lions. II
the March adage holds good they will
go with the speed Of creased lightning
when they get started for their in
itial performances were anything but
satisfactory. Despair is not written
on the face of Manager Smiley"
Smith however who realizes that It
is good thing for the men to become
accustomed to few drubbings before
several reverses afterward without
taking slump If they have had pre-
Wous experience In going through the
mill.
Duluth and Madison will line up at
the Madison ball park Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday. Following three or
four days fast practice the Sox should
be in condition to make respectable
showing and If the Duluth bunch an
nexes two out of three games the
showing will be satisfactory. If, on
the contrary, the team strikes the
rocks again the fans can feed off of
the mama of hope. for all things
come to him who waits. However, the
fans do not desire to be on the wait
ing list until the snow flies again.
Thirteen men have been picked
from the aspirants to baseball honors
and perhaps the unlucky number has
had something to do with the way the
Sox slid down the toboggan at Free
port. When Fagin reports the I'M
lucky spell will be broken. If spell
there is. In the meantime the Sox
will do a little dispelling stunt them
selves in an effort to break away
from the ante-season hoodoo.
