TO PUSH STANDARD OIL CASE.
president Roosevelt Directs Attorney
General to Prosecute the Suit Wig
OrOusly.

oyster Bay, y. Y, July 23.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt tonight announced in
unnistakable terms the determination
Of the administration to proceed with
the prosecution of the Standard Oil
company case, despite the decision
adverse to the government handed
down by the United State circuit court
or appeas yesterday. This decision,
the president thinks, in no way af-
fects the merits of the case. and he
makes known his decision to cause
the action to be brought again before
the courts in such shape, if possible,
as to prevent technicalities interfer-
ing with a decision based upon the
actual issues involved.
The statement in the matter made
public tonight by Secretary Loeb fol-
lows:
"The president has directed the at
torney general to Immediately take
steps for the retrial of the Standard
Oil company case. The reversal of
the decision of the lower court does
not in any shape or way touch the
merits of the case, except in so far as
the size of the fine is concerned. There
is absolutely no question Of the guilt
Of the defendants or of the exception
ally grave character of the offense
The president would regard it as a
gross miscarriage of justice if through
any technicalities the defendant es-
capped the punishment which would
have unquestionably been meted out
to any weaker defendant who has
been guilty of such defence. The
president will do everything in his
power to avert or prevent such mis-
carriage of justice. With this pur-
pose in view the president has di-
rected the attorney general to bring
into consultation Mr.. Frank B. Kel-
logg in the matter and to do every
thing possible to bring the offenders
to Justice"

The old gentleman had been wont
to declare that he event out Of the

the one war and the beginning Of the
other he was an apparently hopeless

that knew him, the old man offered
no objection when his son. a stalwart

MRS. j. B. STETSON TO WE'D
Count Eulalia, Sculptor of Por
tuSal, the Lucky Man.

Philadelphia. July 24.-Annoyed by
| rumors linking her name with tina,
of the Earl Of Clancarty, Mrs. John B.
Stetson, widow Of the millionaire hat
manufacturer and philanthropist, has
set them at rest by the following for
NAL announcement:
'The engagement is announced OF
the Count Santa Eulallia to Mrs. s
Elizabeth Stetson. Count Eulalia, who
Is about so years of ege, is a member
of one of the oldest and most repre-
sentative families of Portugal, his an
cestors having been for generations
hidalgos cavalleiros da Casa Real of
Portugal. One Of them, Dom Manuel
Pinto Riberito da Franseca was in
14O4 grand master of the Crusaders.
the only Portuguese to be so honored.
The Count is a sculptor of considerabl
note, his works having been placed in
various cities of Europe and America.
He was the recipient OF the Grand
Prix Of the Paris Salon in 1892"
1t Is understood that behind this an
nouncement there is romance of
several years standing. The Count is
engaged, on a base relief of his fan
ce's former husband, and it is rumor-
ed that it was while on this task that
his acquaintance with the widow of
the founder of Stetson University
ripened into mutual love.
Mrs. StetsOn, who was Sarah Eliza
beth Shindler, was Mr.. Stetson's third
wife. Mr.. Stetson died three years
ago on his estate in Florida, leaving
fortune Of about $5,000,00O. which
was divided among the widow and
her sons. j. Henry and John B. Stet-
son. Jr, Both of these sons are mar
ried and occupy homes on the extern
sive Stetson estate at Melrose. Henry
was married when he was barely 90,
soon after he had left Penn Charter
School
The mother is a remarkably at
tractive and youthful appearing wo-
man. and as mistress Of beautiful Idro
which is an exact reproduction of one
of the most celebrated of the French
chateaux in Touraine, her hospitality
is renowned. Besides her property.
Mrs. StCtron receives $4,000 a year.
Mr.. Stetson founded and endowed
Stetson University, at Deland, Fla.
but owing to a quarrel with the trus
tees withdrew his support from the
institution. After his death Mrs. Stet-
son donated $4,000 to the university
sum equal to that given by Andrew
Carnegie
