STATUE TO BAYARD.
Unveiled IN Presence of Largest Crowd
Delaware Ever Saw.

Wilmington, Del, June 22.-In the
presence of the largest crowd that ever
assembled at public function in
Delaware, a bronze memorial statue
to Thomas E. Bayard, secretary of
state under President Cleveland, for
mer United States senator and the
first American ambassador to the court
of st. James. was unveiled here this
afternoon with simple exercises. The
absence of Mr.. Cleveland, who is ill,
delivered the principal address. In
his absence the address was read by
John Bassett Moore of Columbia uni
versity. Other participants were
Judge George Gray of the United
States circuit court and Bishop Cole
man of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese of Delaware.
The widow of the honored states
man drew the cord which released the
draping.
The memorial occupies command
ing position at the entrance to Rock
ford park. The location is triangle
looks the city of Wilmington, where
Mr.. Bayard was born and where he al
ways lived.
The statue was modelled and cast
in England and was the gift of an un-
known friend of Mr.. Bayard to the
Bayard Memorial association.
What Cleveland Wrote.
Mr.. Cleveland's address eulogized
Bayard's career as one which through
sit testified of lofty patriotism OF civic
and of knightly courage. 1t shall tes-
tify too, of a time when the saving
vigilance of unperverted Amer1can1sm
kept watch and ward and gave warn
ing of the approach OF any insldious
foe of our nations peace and welfare
and of a time when in the actual pres
ence of national perplexities and
doubt, the loyalty of our people was
neither hampered nor misled by sord1d
motives petty partisanship or class
animosities.
II have never known a man., wrote
Mr. Cleveland, land do not believe
there ever lived a man who accepted
the guidance of duty more Loyalty ana
unreservedly than Thomas F. Bayard.
He was strongly attached to the pol1t-
icaI party of his choice but he cared
nothing for partisan manipulation ana
detested the pursuit of ignoble, sordlo
Durposes under the pretense of solicit
tude for the public good Under the
guidance of uncontaminated patriotism,
he reached the highest plane OF pollt1-
cal usefulness and party service.
whether the fears are substantial
or not, a mere hint of national peril
should cause every loyal American TO
wish devoutly that. as guaranty OF
greater safety there were in the pres
more men as wise, as disinterested as
bravely devoted to duty as he whose
memory we are honoring today.
Let those who now bear the heat
and burden of the day learn that there
is an atmosphere of political activity
far purer and higher and more potent
to save than the mean and con-
science1ess strife of unprincipled par
tisanship.
Let us be steadfast in our belief, un-
moved by clamor and interrupted by an
inordinate desire for success at any cost
of principles and consistency. Thus
shall we serve our country best shall
we know Quoting Bayard's own words)
a joy that mere success can never

was being tried out at the time of the
arrest and Mr.. Dana admits that he
might have been exceeding the speed
limit but claims that this is necessary
in order to give the engines a thorough
test. During these tests the speed of
the machines is sometimes as great as
80 miles an hour, but unfrequented
streets are used in making these tests
and they are only used when free from
teams and pedestrians.

POLICE COURT NOTES.
officers Make Things Lively for Petty
Offenders.

Friday was a busy day with the po-
lice department as the blotter which
contains % names under that date in
dictates that there was something do
Ing every once in a while. The crimes
charged against the prisoners are
nearly all OF the petty class varying
from the offence Of stealing a basket
Of eggs to exceeding the speed limit
provided for automobiles.
The echoes about the home of Bee
Adams on Crane street were rudely
disturbed late last evening by a volley
from the horse pistol carried by Of
fcer Dusenberry. The disturbance, as
far as the echoes are concerned, was
not unusual for they are in motion the
greater part of the time on account of
the proximity of the Adams joint.
It was the intention to make a raid
on the place which before the pro-
hibitory law went into effect was
distillery to see If any of the spirits of
the past could be found. The lookout
saw the police first and gave the "hey
rube'' yell and by the time the officers
arrived all signs of life had disap
peared with the exception of a cloud
Of dust crowded with dusky figures.
OFFICER Dusenberry evidently wanted to
unload his gun and fired in the direction
of the fleetfng crap shooters which only
FASTENED their speed. Bee Adams was
afterwards arrested keeper of the
place and taken to the police station. A
gun of the pattern which made Colonel
Colt famous was discovered on him and
an additional bond of $50 was required
on a charge of carrying concealed
weapon which was booked following the
one charging him with keeping and main

few days ago and it Is charged that when
he was rearrested he resisted the officer
having the matter in charge.
Edward Hammen was arrested this
morning charged with attaching himself
to setting or of eggs the property
of Cope & Co. At this season of the
year the crime constitutes petit larceny
though had he been detected in a like
crime about the holidays it might have
come under the head of grand larceny.
Some idea of the orofitableness Of the
Joint business may be gained from the
fact that Bee Adams, one of the notorious
colored tointists of the city. has $500 de-
posted with the chief of police for his
appearance on charges that are pending
against him.

WHEAT is GOOD IN SHAWNEE.
Farmer From Western Part of County
Expects Yield of 80 Bushels.

F. A. Kiene. Jr-, of Valencia, was in
Topeka today. He has the largest field
of wheat in the county, $50 acres. He
said:
Wheat in western Shawnee county
has been steadily improving since the
recent rains and will make in the neigh
borhood of 80 bushels per acre While
the straw was rather short and prom
ised trouble for the harvester 1t is gain
ing in length and will reach the aver
age. Heads are of good size and are

There has not been as large an acre
age since the chinchbug caused the
abandonment of wheat growing and
another season will probably see field
of wheat on every farm. Harvest will
not commence for at least a week, MAX
ing 1t about two weeks later than last

Fiebt on Combinat,on Curbinr.

1t is questionable now If the city coun-
ell this evening will recommend any
curbing combined with guttering for
fear that parties fighting paving in
North Topeka will seek to knock out the
paving contracts because it does not
follow the exact specifications prepar-
ed by the city engineer with regard to
the actual width OF the paving as speci-
fed by the engineer. 1t would be a
technicallity but 1t is deemed to be
sufficient to cause considerable worry.
