Washington, Dec. 26. - Admiral
George Dewey celebrated to-day his
seyenty-first birthday at the Dewey
home. An acute attack Of seiatica
held the veteran sea fighter fast to
his chair, and he was flooded with re
membranes from a host Of friends
throughout the country.
The Admiral keenly regretted his
ailment. Last year he entertained on
this occasion the President and other
guests, and two years ago he was at
dinner at the White House.
Formerly the men who were win
him in the fight at Manila Bay celled
to celebrate with the commander, and
he was one OF the most enthusiastic
and joyous OF the gathering. To-day
only a few called and they could see
him but for a brief word Of congrat-
ulation.
At II. Uncle George is a finely pre-
served specimen of the sturdy old
e dog. His face is kindly, his smile
one Of pleasant good nature. He lacks
the gruff abruptness Of Fighting
Bob" Evans, but he has all his deter
mination and quickness OF decision.
Dewey entered the navy some
years before the civil war. He was at
tached to the Mediterranean fleet
until 1861, then transferred to the
west gulf squadron. He was with Far
ragut when he forced the passage Of
Fort st. Philip and Fort Jackson, and
in the subsequent fights which gave
him possession of New Orleans. Later
he served with the North Atlantic and
European Bquadrons.
His rise was rapid. He was in
command OF the Asfatic squadron,
when the Spanish-American War
broke out, and on May i, 1898, an.
initiated the Spanish Asiatic squad
ron in Manila bay. He was promoted
to al admiral Immediately, and
made a full admiral on March 2,
1899.

Makes Attempt to Snatch
Mrs. Andrews Purse


]. L. Andrews and wife while walk
ing across Hardin Park en- route
down town about $3.50 Monday after
noon were held up. They had
gotten to the center of the park wher
they were approached by three men,
who made an attempt to snatch Mrs.
Andrews supposed handbag, but
which was, in truth, her muff, and
then made their getaway. Two sus-
piclous characters were later arrest
ed by the night police and lodged in
the calaboose, but were released
Tuesday morning.
The two men gave their names as
Fred Fuller and Jas. Smith. They
pleaded not guilty to the charge and
evidence against them being not suf-
~ficient they were given their liberty.
The persons who approached Mrs.
Andrews were a few moments before
met by Chas. Criswell. Mr.. Criswell
says they acted very suspicious and
that he kept his eye ON them until he
had reached a safe distance, then
stopped and waited until Mr.. and Mrs
Andrews, whom he knew were COM
ing behind him, reached them and
when he saw what they were up to,
notified the officials.

ATToRNEY-GENERAL HADLEY
achieved a splendid victory in the
sweeping decision Of the Supreme
Court. filming the Standard Oil Com.
psny and Its branches sl50, 900. Gen
eral Hadley referring to this decision
says: "The decisive issue In this
contest was whether the officers OF
a corporation could be compelled to
disclose the plan upon which the bus
mess was organized and conducted
even though that fact would tend to
convict the corporation Of a criminal
offense or subject it to q penalty
and q forfeiture. What decisions wer
upon this question seemed to support
the contention Of the defendants that
they could not be compelled to fur
nish such evidence. But within one
week the supreme court of the Unite
States in the tobacco trust case and
the supreme court Of Missouri in
this case, decided that this claim Of
immunity could not successfully be in
invoked in behalf Of q corporation:
that 1t was q creature Of law. and
that 1t must answer to the state as
to whether 1t was complying with the
laws under which 1t had been Gre
ated- ] could have compromised this
a long ago, but | always cit that
the question: Of punishment was one
for the courts to decide. The court
has deliberated upon this case for
fourteen months and it's decision
must be accepted as a fair and de-
hberate judgment"

FRED
BROKEN SPIRITED,

BROKEN SPIRITED.
His spirit broken by suffering and
want, the lurid life OF a desperate
painted by the dime novel autnor,
found lacking in many Of its most
salient delights Fred Michaels, charg.
ed with the killing of Gilbert McGru-
der and the wounding of Marshal
Cain. at Higbee. recently in a jail
delivery, is anything but the brayado
he tried to appear. Every move Of
the youth since his escape and arrest
here marks him as a tyro in crime
and anything but an accomplished
"Yeg."
Before he committed the two rob-
berries in Centralia he remained in
that city two days. He was too close
to the scene Of his crime to be safe.
When he started to walk across coun-
try and reach safer refuge he awoke
after hard travel to learn he was up
on the outskirts OF Moberly where
county and railroad officials were
watching every train and suspicious
character. 1t was then he turned
about and came back to Centralia
where the lack of funds and his
wounded condition made him desper-
ate.
After nights Of c~easeless pain from
his twinging wound which were spent
in hay stacks or barns in the hope Of
sleep he arrived in Mexico in a fit
mood to give himself up and let jus
tice take its course. The tale he
told to Edwin Barth about his being
O. bad California gambler and a crack
shot in explanation Of his wound and
then adding he vas tired of life and
didn't care whether he lived or not
shows the exact condition Of the
youths mind.
