GIVES PARKER
BITTER SCORING
'WATTERSON RESENTS ATTEMPT

TO MAKE TROUBLE.

LOUISVILLE (Ky), July Com
menting upon the report from New
York last night that Alton B. Parker
had been selected to present resolu-
tions at the Denver Convention upon
ex-President Cleveland's death, Colonel
Henry Watterson says:
THE attempt to CA'ag the dead body
of Grover Cleveland from its new
made grave into the tumult of ma
tional convention will deceive no one.
An invasion of the grief of the noble
lady who weeps amid the silence and
the solitude of the granite hills, a
blow at party concord, it is the act oil
shameless hypocrite. Nor was ever
professional ghoul inspired by a
more mercenary spirit, because the
sole aim and end of the Murphy-Con-
ners crowd, aided by Judge Parker, Is
the perpetuation of the ascendancy OF
the Belmont-Ryan combination to
which Democracy owes it's last igno-
minous and well-deserved defeat.
1T seemed fitting that, having made
sacrifices for predatory wealth, Judge
Parker should have his recompense in
rich law practice in the city of New

it's enrichment he should rest well con-

HIS WIFE {.
TO EAT LIMBURGER

SAN FRANCISCO, July Al have
often heard that two can live as cheap
ly as one, but | have never seen the
truth of the adage demonstrated" re-
marked Judge Melvin of Oakland yes
terday, and he concluded his soliloquy
by ordering f. L. Moore, who conducts
drug store at Twenty-fourth street
and Telegraph avenue, to pay his wife,
Florence, 800 before Monday, with the
alternative of going to Jail for con-
tempt of court. The trouble rose
from Moore's refusal to pay his wife
alimOny, which resulted in his being
taken before the Judge on contempt
proceedings.
Mrs Moore alleges that after her
marriage her husband gave her $25
month with which to run the house,
and evidently believing this too ex-
travagant, cut down the allowance to
500. She also said her husband has
been cruel to her They were married
at Vallejo, Moore at that time being a
member of the Navy, and while they
were on a honeymoon TO San Jose,
Mrs Moore says her husband told her
she had been petted and spoiled by her
parents, and that he intended to cure
her of it, He dictated what she should
eat, what she should read, how she
should dress, and what she should do.
When she refused to eat, Mrs. Moore
says he pried open her mouth and
forced food down her throat. Once
he forced a piece of limburger cheese,
which she disliked, into her mouth.

NEW YORK, July 2.-To correct
which have been pub

he had given for the operetta THE

today that since his first production
of this tuneful composition in this
country in last September he had paid

The Merry Widow" is still as strong
an attraction as ever, it is believed the
American royalties will amount to
$4,000 by next September, making a
record sum for the authors of such a
composition in any one year.

NEW ZEALAND WILL TAKE GOOD
CARE OF TARS OF AMERICAN
BATTLESHIPS.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand) July
2.-Arrangements for the reception of
the American fleet are approaching
completion. Wellington and Auckland
will be deliberately decorated. The
keenest interest is displayed in the APP
preaching visit. Parliament will ad-
journ for ten days to enable the MEM
bers to participate in the welcome. The
Government will entertain from 10000
to $4,000 men daily, including the
crews of the British fleet. American
and British officers to the number of
$50 will be guests at an official BAN
quest. Three thousand guests will at
tend the state ball and there will be
other entertainments. At the reception
to the officers the presentation of a
casket will be made containing adj
dresses to President Roosevelt and Ad-
miral Sperry.
In Parliament yesterday Senator
Wilfred deprecated the entertainments
on the ground that the tariff and navi-
cation laws of the United States are
hostile to this country. The Yelling
ton Post today strongly condemns the
Senator's advocacy of what it calls
such gross international discourtesy, -
and contends that the visit is welcome
because it will promote closer knowl-
edge and better understanding.

Water in Campbelrs pond at the Or

siderably, and at a meeting of the Or

that the pond bottom be ~eXcavated to

The water from two springs in the
pond apparently leaks away and in or

possible Councilman Romine feels it
would be wise to make the excavation
while the water in the pond is so low.
The upper reservoir is now furnishing
a part of the city water supply. A
measurement of the water at the upper
reservoir several days ago showed 3d.
900, 900 gallons in that place. and the
water is of good quality, Councilman
Romine states.
Work On the water improvements is
going ahead and it is anticipated nexi

line and reservoir will have been com
