in Point of Attendance
and Interest.

The St. Mary's Catholic bazar closed
last night after four days and evenings

view of presenting the instrument to

the cares have been removed as q re-
suit of this fair"

end of sixty fathoms of anchor chains
in Hampton Roads. awaiting the COM
ing of President Roosevelt on Monday
TO send them ON their way were sud-
denly lost to view this afternoon in a
dense fog. The curtain of mist closed
down without moments warning and
set the little ship launches screechinG
and fog bells ringing. The small boats
had danced around and buffeted all
morning on chOppy sea kicked up by
stiff sOutheaster. Torrents of rain
also fell throughout the morning. The
blow was not heavy enough to affect
any of the battleships.
There is some disappointment in the
fleet that President Roosevelt will not
visit any of the vessels Monday. He
would find the navy at its very best.

TO convicts who obey the prison rules and
manifest some inclination toward reform.
Had he obtained this deduction he would
have been released last February.

ugly mood and the prison guards who
had watched him felt convinced that he
would return TO his life Of crime.
Officers Were Warned.
In this belief, both the police and the
sheriff office were warned that pecu-
liarly dangerous man was about to be
turned out Of the penitentiary, and sew
eral policemen and deputy sheriffs visit
ed the prison to look at Sullivan before
his release.
less than a week after Sullivan walked
away from the penitentiary gate, has full
filled the gloomy anticipations OF the
guards who for five years had the difficult
task of controlling the man.
Several prison guards helped yesterday
in the hunt for Sullivan who. having been
a sailor, can easily be recognized by his
walk.
When news of Policeman Ford's death
was received at police headquarters yes
terday afternoon the flag in front of
headquarters was lowered to half mast,
in token OF mourning for the brave, but
unfortunate member of the force.
Governcr Cutler last night offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the man who murdered Ford.

Northwestern Fights and Fighters" BY
Cyrus Townsend. Published by the Nc

Northwestern Fights and Fighters"
Cyrus Townsend Brady's contribution TO
the Mcclure American Fights and Fight
ers series. deals chiefly with the story of
Chief Joseph and the NeZ Perez upriS-
ing in 1871 In the opening chapter. MIR
Brady tells the story OF the retreat of
the great chief and his little band from
Idaho. where the uprising began, into
Montana, where Chief Joseph at last sir
rendered to General Miles. This is head
ed THE Epic of the Nez Perces." In this
chapter Mr.. Brady calls himself "the adj
vocatus diabOli-the friend of the In
diam" and calls the tale of Joseph and
the Nez Perces the story of the bit
pendent people TO which the United
states ever set its hands" In thus blam-
ing the government for possible mistakes
of some of its agents. Mr.. Brady in the
opening paragraph loses the sympathy Of
his reader. This story must certainly
have impressed Mr.. Brady deeply, for il
is retOld, in whole or in part. in each of
the succeeding thirteen chapters.

So far as the police know. owen has no
prison record
But Sullivan, during his term in the
state penitentiary, achieved the reputation
of being one Of the most desperate and
unruiy convicts there. After he was SEN
fenced to a term Of five years imprison-
ment for the robbery committed In Ogden.
he made an attempt to break jail in that
city.
When taken to the penitentiary, he
quickly betrayed a vicious temper by
cutting another convict with knife The
eonvicts, brutal and hardened as most of
them were. became afraid of Sullivan, and
during the entire time of his confinement
none dared cross him in anything.
Because of his violent and rebellious
conduct Sullivan lost nine months and
eleven days of good time"-the usual de-
