AN OLD DEBT
Mrs Russell Sage Pays One That Was iD Existence
 Sixty Years.
IT WAS OUTLAWED

Chicago, Oct. 14.-A dispatch from Dubuque, Iowa. says:
 The fact that $50,000 of the Rus sell Sage millions will go to the heirs 1 of Ezekiel Oliphant is furnishing an interesting theme of conversation in this vicinity The Oliphants who now reside in Des Moines formerly made their home in Dubuque county, later purchasing a farm in Jones county.
 The story on which the payment of the sum named rests dates back more than sixty years. The debt was one which the lapse of years had wiped out so far as legal responsibility was concerned. About the year 1S44 there was partnership in the salt business between Joseph Afterwards General) Slocum and Oliphant at Syracuse, N. Y. The business did not prosper and in settling up the affairs of the concern $2.O00 belonging to Oliphant was applied on the accounts
 Slocum remained in New York state and Oliphant, with his family came west. The eldest daughter of MT Slocum became the second wife of Russell Sage of New York. The families lost track of each other and the old debt of Joseph Slocum re- malned unpaid. The matter recently wa spresented to Mrs Sage's attention and she ordered the debt, grown through interest from $2,00O to S5O.- 900, discharged.

OUR BOATS BETTER
Torpedo Boat Deslroyers Will Exec! i1 Every Way Those
 in Use in Europe.

Washington, Oct 1.-The fact that the speed of the new torpedo boat de- stroyers about to be built, was placed at A knots, has brought to the atten- tion of the president by some officers who assert that in this respect the boats will be notably inferior to the fast European destroyers
 The president has inquired into the matter, and it will be shown by the designers that while many of the European boats are faster ''on paper or while jockeyed Up fer a run over a mile course, few, if any of them can maintain their reputed speed in a seaway under service conditions On the other hand, the American boats are planned to make 24 knots an hour in and out of season: to keep it up in heavy weather: to be strong enough in hull and engine and ma chinery to meet all service demands and finally. most important con- sideration, to carry enough coal to en- able them to cruise twice as far as tue European boats.

LOVED PHOTOGRAPH
And Rich Mexican Left Owner of It a Fortune of
 $4OO,0OO.

Chicago, Oct. 14.-A dispatch from Milwaukee says:
 Mrs Lydia Paeschke of this city has been left a fortune of $400,0O0 by Senor Juan Joe Manda of Mexico. The senor saw a photograph of Mrs Paeschke and fell in love with it. He wrote a letter to the young woman, ardently expressing his love, but she did not respond. Soon afterward he died and when his will was opened it was found that his entire fortune was left to the woman of the picture whom he had never seen. Inasmuch as there are no heirs at law and as the will is legally drawn, Mrs Paeschke will get the money as soon as the estate is administered. Mrs Paeschke was until recently Mrs Paul Rosenthal of West Bend, Wis. but was granted a divorce, the custody of her daughter, two years old, and tho privilege of resuming her maiden name.

OPTIMISTIC REPORTS

Vienna, Oct. 14.-Optimistic ac- counts of the progress made by Elm perorer Francis Joseph were received here from Schoenbrunn castle this morning. Though his night was re- peatedly disturbed by bad fits of coughing his majesty felt consider ably easier when he arose, somewhat later than usual, and seated himself in his chair, and his mood was notice ably more cheerful. X
 Dr Kerzl, the imperial physician, who examined the emperor carefully to-day found that the patients ex- pectoration was abundant and that though the inflammation continued it had not increased. His majesty mani Tested more interest in affairs of state than of recent days, so it is hoped that any steps contemplated for transferring part of the official busi- ness to other shoulders and insurlng the smooth running of the state ma chinery can be postponed for a few days, even should it become necessary at all. Archduke Ferdinand, the heir apparent, is in constant touch with the foreign minister, Baron Von Aehrenthal, whose advice on import ant questions commands the fullest confidence of the monarch.
 The optimistic official opinions ex. pressed regarding the emperor's health are not confirmer from the best informed private sources, whence it, is persistently stated that the in flamma tion continues to be a bad symptom an dgives no promise of the patients speedy convalescence. The imperial physicians, it is added, de- sire to move the emperor to another and more suitable room, but he stead. fastly refuses to permit them to do so. The room now occupied by his ma jesty is the one in which he was born, and his bed stands on the same spot as the one occupied by his mother when she gave birth to the present emperor, and therefore he has a sen timental attachment to the apart ment.

| Chicago, Oct 14.-A dispatch from Decatur, III, says: The Magill mur- der trial enters it's most important stage to-day, when the heavy guns of the state will be turned on Fred H. Magill and his wife and the ques- tion of their guilt or innocence will be largely determined. .

BRITISH FLEET
EnaIand Assembling Warsbips That Will Surpass Any Two
 European Countries.
NORTH SEA PARADE

London, Oct 14.-There is now assembling in the North sea and the English channel for maneuvers, un- der the command of Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, fleet of British warships representing an aggrega- tion of naval power surpassing all the immediate available resources Of any two other countries of Europe, and yet not a single ship of this fleet has been drawn from the reserves, the Mediterranean fleet or the De- vonport and Portsmouth divisions. The home fleet, which is now assem- bling, consists merely of those ships maintained in the vicinity Of the British Isles and which throughout the year have been engaged in war training. It numbers 11O pennants and is composed of 26 battleshlps, IS armored cruisers, a number or protected cruisers, various auXlllar! vessels and AS torpedo boats. FIhe battleship Dreadnought is not taking part in the maneuvers as she is being fitted with a new steering engine be- fore being subjected to a further series of sea trials, which, it IS hoped, will prove of assistance in determining the design of future large battleshjps. -..
 The first section of - the coming naval maneuvers, covering four days, will be of tactical description, and the final days will be devoted to studying the proble moi defending ships against torpedo attacks. With the mosquito feet attacking the large vessels and all the land sta tions manned, the coming operations are expected to be most interesting.

TO KILL PR0HIBITION.
People of States That Have Tried It
 Want Law Repealed.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 14.-A singular aspect of the prohibition agitation throughout the country is noted by internal revenue officials, who are watching matters closely. This is that while, prohibition ap- pears to be rampant in the south and some of the other sections, Maine citizens, where state wide prohibition has existed for many years, aue howl ing for a resubmission of the liquor question to the voters with the ob- ject of repeating prohibition and it looks very much as if the next cleo tlon will see the decision reached to change existing laws and permit the sale of liquors according to county option. "The whole truth of it. said a high revenue official, who has been to Maine on business, lis that the other states of the country are rusing- into an experiment that will sicken all their citizens before it is finished, while Maine, after years of trying to put down illicit whiskey selling, is now willing to enact a law that will be respected Maine has become a state of law breakers and hypocrites. so far as prohibition is concerned, and everybody knows that. The people are tired of being the laughing stock of the world Folks up there predict that the negro of the south will quickly come to be law breaker, initiating the white man of his own section. and that the cocaine and drug habit will, in ten years, make the negro worthless as a man and as a citizen.
 "Of course, it is not the business of the internal revenue department what the various states do except that as men we naturally want to see the right thing done. Many papers are full of glorious accounts of how prohibition is being enforced in Kan sas and yet it is positively known in this bureau that practically every drug store in that state is a saloon. selling the rawest sort of whiskey. Topeka drug stores. notice in To- peka newspapers, report 22,893 sales of whiskey in the month of Septem- Der as against 22.447 in August. It is notorious that very few of these sales are for legitimate medical pur- poses.
 Tn Wichita there was no decreas- es in the arrests for drunkenness in September, showing that whiskey is to be had without the least trouble. So it is in other parts of the state, and yet people are being fooled into the' belief that the prohibition law in Kansas is really obeyed and respect ed.
 "A phase of this question, though, that will strike home to the taxpay- CTS shortly is the fact that as the revenue of the government dwindles from whiskey licenses, as it is be- ginning to do. taxation must be placed elsewhere. It may not be for several years that this will be nec- essary and it may not be necessary at all should there be no further spread of prohibition. but if all the things come true that are now predicted the S200, ,0O0,000 of revenue a year the government now gets from whiskey will have to be made up in some other way"
