ACCOUNT CHARGED.
Otto Kelsey, Receiver for Manhattan
 Fire Company, Owes Balance.

Albany, April 13.-Supreme Court Justice Fitts, in special term here, to- day issued an order charging the ac- count of Otto Kelsey, as former re- ceiver for the Manhattan Fire Insur- ance company, with $3131 and interest for about six years, representing as- sets in Virginia, for which, 1t was claimed, Russell s. Johnson of New York, formerly counsel for the re- ceiver, had failed to account, and for which MT. Kelsey, as receiver, was to be held responsible.
 Ex-Judge Hasbrouck, representing MT Kelsey, read affidavits signed by MT. Kelsey and himself, in which both claimed to have had no knowledge of the existence of these assets.
 MT Johnson was present in court and declared that he has been reserv- ing these assets in trust for the &C., count of a firm of Virginia lawyers, one of whom he said has committed suicide since the receivership began.
 He joined with Alfred Hayes, Jr., attorney for Edward P. Ward, MT. Kel- sey's successor in the receivership, in the motion to add these assets to the account of MT. Kelsey, as receiver. Deputy Attorney General Mott, who discovered the existence of these as- sets, appeared for the attorney gen. eral and acquiesced in the motion.

BRYAN ADDRESSES STUDENTS.
Is Principal Event of Jefferson Day
 Exercises.

Charlottesville, Va, April 13.--The event of the evening at the exercises of Jeff ferson day at the University of Vir- ginia was the address of William J. Bryan. He reached the city at 12:20 o'clock today, and was the guest of Dr. c. W. Kent, with whom, and Judge Duke, he drove to Monticello.
 This evening MT. Bryan was greeted by @ great crowd in Cabel hall and spoke for nearly two hours, discussing Thomas Jefferson and political prophecy and in cidentally put in vivid contrast with Hamilton.
 The vice in Hamilton's plans, he said, was lack of sympathy with the people at large, and his unwillingness to trust them. Jefferson for his day was a rich man, but the money in his pocket did not color his views of government nor de- stroy his sympathy with common people; he was one of the best educated men of his time and favored comforting the ben efits of education upon the people at large He especially dsliked the idea of shearing people of their power, preferring frequent appeals to the electorate in or der that the people could keep their hands on their servants.

John D. and the Early Tip.

From the Washington Herald.
 They have dug up brand new story on John D. Rockefeller out at Cleveland. In his early days he used to eat his noon lunch in hotel cafe where the menu offered roast beef and potatoes at thirty five cents. Price and diet suited MT. Rockefeller, and every day he consumed one full order of roast beef and potatoes, occasionally adding piece of pie for dessert Not until after he had finished his lunch one day did he discover that a change had been made in the prices, and that roast beef alone was thirty five cents. For potatoes an extra charge or ten cents had been made. MT. Rockefeller had been giving the water ten cent tip every day, but this time in view of the charge of ten cents for potatoes, he laid out only nickel for the waiter. The lat ter made bold, after the manner of his kind, to reproach MT. Rockefeller, de- claring, disdanfully:
 If l had as much money as you have I wouldn't squeeze nickel so hard"
 'If you squeezed a nickel as hard as I do you wouldn't be a waiter calmly replied Mr Rockefeller, the while care~ funy putting the remainder of the change back into his pocketbook.

Votes No True Bill.

San Francisco, April 1S.-Respondent to a letter from Fremont Older, managing editor of the Bulletin, withdrawing charges brought by him, the grand jury today voted no true bill against John P. Barrett, news editor or the Examiner, and formally dropped the investigation, which followed the alleged confession of Eddy Graney, that at a cost of $500 Bar rett had hired him ana James Coffroth to cause wholesale ballot box sutffing in the primaries of August, 1904. MT. Older, in his letter to the grand jury. stated that he withdrew charges because their perusal at this time might hinder and hamper the Ruef Schmitz and corpora tion prosecutions. Asked whether today s action by the grand jury precluded that body from taking up the Barrett investi- gation at a later date, Assistant District Attorney Heney said: There Is no law to that effect" The grand jury was in session one hour today and no testimony was taken.

McCutcheon used to illustrate Ade's syndicate stories, but under the terms of the cartoonist's present contract he is not allowed to do that now. Each developed his peculiar talent while at college, and they then agreed that they would stick together after beginning the stern battle of life" They went to Chicago at the same time, and. though for quite while working on different newspapers, they never for got their college compact. Finally. when they were employed on the staff of the same paper, they were enabled to realize their boyish ambition. AL though now numbered among the coun- try's busiest men, they find time to visit each other, and their mutual af- lection and interest are as strongly marked as ever. Each is intensely proud of the other, though each is a severe critic of the others work.

The South's Greatest
 Specialists

The Birmingham Ledger: There are no better known specialists in the south than Drs. Orion r. Dozier and Byron Dozier, of the firm of Drs Dozier & Qozier, of this city. Certainly there are none more capable and skilful than they.
 These gentlemen are morally and pro- fessionally honest in all their dealings with their clients They seek to relieve and cure their patients, rather than to follow old hobbies and theories which have been exploited long since.
 While they give ample reason to con- vince the most biased and prejudiced minds, and offer free consultation and eX- animation, yet they have never been known to resort to such "catch-penny methods" as advertising mot dollar need be paid till cured; free treatment y etc., so often resorted to by interruptions and incompetent practitioners.
 Their success is remarkable and be- speaks for them the confidence of the people,
 The Birmingham News: Both Dr. O. T.. Dozier and Dr. Byron Dozler are re- liable and experienced physicians and sur 'geons who deserve the great success which which has been and is theirs.
 Age-Herald: DTS. Dozier & Dozler's long standing record and approved abilities en- titles them to the proud distinction of standing at the head of their profes- sion.

official label dangling from it, fine faint odor of foreign climes pervading the gray dusk of the passages. Yet what storehouse of romance they represent, what an inspiration for some TeufedrolIh of the salt water There is an individ- uality about every homely package. What, for instance, was the fate of the poor prentice lad who owned that duck bolster, and where is the mother whose gentle fingers stitched his initials on It so lovingly? The grim simplicity of the official details merely describe him as Missing and that's the end of 1t. Poor motherl In the next recess lie the world ly goods of a North sea whaler. You can still smell tic sperm oil distinctly when you come within three yards of them. There is an accordion on top of the pile with all the music long since out of 1t, and a half carved walrus tusk beside 1t with picture of the dead mans ship on one side and on the other a sym bolic sketch of himself at home, one hand round his wife's waist and a joyously large tankard of beer aloft in the other
 A little further on Is a sea-stained bag, flute, and an opium pipe, crossed saltire on top (that Is the escutcheon, An Sing), and his epitaph says he fell overheard somewhere in the Roaring Forties. Luck less Heather! It will be long swim home thence to the ancestral burial place by
 
 on, amid the tumble of pathos and pow erty, of commonplace and high romance, of sea chests and bags and baskets in corner where those things are put which have waited longest unclaimed is an old portmanteau, gray with dust, yet obvious ly of better class than its companions in misfortune. You turn its creaking hinges gently expecting tarpaulins and sou'west- CTS, and there, spoiled and yellow, but ar ranged with feminie grace, is a brides outfit. Everything unused, down to the modestly folded white gloves, rusty as their buttons, and on the bosom of the dress is photograph faded beyond recog- milton, with a prayer book by it, and rose leaf still marking the marriage service.
 As strange a storehouse of strange things as any in the big city is this un- claimed property office of the docks, and, If few go to it's gray corridors to search for traces of the missing, still fewer come away in talkative mood.

The king Is the financial ruler of system of affiliated lines. He may not be even an officer of any one line and yet be the king of the system. MT J. Pierpont Morgan, for instance does not hold any important railroad office, yet he Is the monarch over one-fifth of the mileage of the United States Ex-Judge William H. Moore. the king of the Rock Island sys- tenn, is only q director of the road. Abil- ity to run a railroad is one thing. Ability to finance a railroad or q system of rail- roads is another thing
 The seven kings in the order of their importance are: J, Pierpont Morgan. Ed ward IT, Hartman, William K. Wander bilt. Henry C. Prick, James J Hill, George J. Gould and William II. Moore. Their domain comprises more than 16l,- GOO miles of railroad stock with earnings of $1,7lG, GOO year. Outside of their seven domnions are 10 be found but 25 per cent of the total mileage of the country, and but 15 per cent of the rail- road earnings. This nation of forty-five sovereign states seems to be entering into a struggle with these seven kings and their army of officers and employees.

Troops to Frontier.

Paris. April 13.-The Memorial Diploma tique says 1t was learned that the illness of the Sultan of Turkey is rapidly be- coming worse, and that he is most anx- ious concerning the revolutionary move ment in Asia Minor. His advisors see only one hope, and that is to provide an exterior diversion in the form of a war with Bulgaria. Trouble with this coun- try already would have broken out put for the Sultans fear that the Bulgarians, who are rapid mobilizers, would win the first success, and that would be followed by an insurrection through the whole of Asia Minor. In the meanwhile, the paper asserts, the Turkish reserves are being called out and troops are being hastened to the frontier.

RACING SEASON ID OPEN AT AQUEDUCT Carter Handicap, $10,000, Will
 Be the Feature THE EVENT IS IMPORTANT Nineteen Horses of Undoubted calibre, With Roseben at the Head, Are
 Posted as Starters In the
 Handicap.
THE EVENT IS IMPORTANT

New York, April 13.-The Metropolitan course of the Queens County Jockey club with the S10,00O Carter handicap, as the feature. The race, which has been grow ing in importance from year to year, is now regarded as something of a classic in turf circles, coming as it does as the first big event of the eastern season. Nineteen horses of undoubted calibre, with the famous old sprinter Roseben at the head of the list were posted as starters in the handicap.
 The rainy weather of the past two days has made the going muddy at Aqueduct, but 1t Is believed that if fair weather comes by tomorrow afternoon the track can be worked into f1rst-class condition for Mondays opening. Along with Rose ben and several other horses, who are making their first appearance of the sea son under colors, will be many seasoned campaigners from Benning and New Or leans to fight for the purses. Roseben was the winner of the Carter handicap last year and the aged Benstrome geld ing holding the worlds record at the dis tance, seven furlongs, undoubtedly will go to the post as the favorite In the bet ting. He probably will be closely pressed in favor by Demunds, who Is reported from the Benning track to have rounded into Q 3-year-old of note. In fact Handi- capper Vosburg has been lenient with every one of the probable starters. Rose ben's burden of 135 pounds will not stop any of his marvellous speed over the sprint distance. Roseben has no prefer ence in the matter of going. In the mud or in the dust he is equally fancied by his supporters. Demunds' weight, 10S, ought not to stop good horse, and the Carter will be a test of his ability. The race as it looks tonight has decidedly open ap- pearance. Conditions will prove a big factor In the contest and in view of the late spring, it would appear that the seasoned horses in the south will have first call throughout the days racing.
