DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Chilfs Last Thought Was of Present
for the Nurses.

New York, Jan. 3..His last thoughts on
the present he was going to buy for the
doctors and nurses, Arthur Hennessy, 10
years old, died in a Brooklyn hospital of
two months ago and the wound being
slight, it was neglected. A short time ago
the disease developed and then it was too
late. The boy was very grateful for the
attention the doctors and nurses gave
him and he told them he had 70 cents
saved up and that as soon as he was out
all for cigars and candy for them. He
died soon after.

BASKETBALL GAME TONIGHT.
st. Joe and Topeka High School Teams
VIII Meet.

The st. Joseph high school basket
ball team will play the local high
school team at Music hall tonight. The
Topeka high school team won close
game from the st. Joseph boys once
this season and are working hard to
show that their victory was not an
accident, as the St. Joseph players in
innate. The Topeka and st. Joe teams
are rivals of the bitterest kind and
the defeat of the st. Joe football team
by the local team early last fall by a
score of II to still rankles in the
hearts of the Missourians. They have
been working hard and on their ar
rival in Topeka this morning they were
very confident of success. AT any rate
tonight's contest will be a close one
and one which the lovers of basketball
should turn out en- masse and witness.
The game starts at o'clock.

ATTACKS ROOSEVELT.
New York Congressman Blalnes the
President for the Panic

Washington, March Accommodation
was heaped upon President Roosevelt
in the house of representatives by Mr..
Willett IN. 70 today. Mr.. Willett in
sisted that the distressing effects Of the
panic of 1907 still were being felt
There seems to be- he said, "a con-
spiracy of silence on the part of the
Republican members of the house on
the subject of the cause and effect of
the panic
Those members, he declared, were
afraid to attack the president for fear
said, was reaping the reward of his
own reckless misconduct
He referred to ''the fmperialistic
methods of the president as evidenced
by "the discharge of whole companies
of American soldiers without trial, with
out proof of guilt" and said it sounded
more like the edfct Of an African
chieftain or Russian despot than the
command of an American president"
Mr.. Willett charged that President
Roosevelt had done more than all other
presidents and all other public men in
the history of the country to shake the
confidence of the people in our form Of
government and has done more than
any one man in our nations history to
destroy legitimate business, shatter
confidence among the people and bring
utter panic into every counting room.
factory, shop, office and home In the
land and has exhibited a greater de-
gree of self consciousness and egotism
which are the natural results Of
power and f1attery than any president
who has occupied the White House"
Nevertheless" he said, 'the clarion
tongues of the great Republican party
are silent. the peoples rights may be
trampled upon, but party interests
must be protected" He characterized
the president las that great central
deity" and said that If the usurpa-
tons Of the president passed unchal-
lenged by the people they would soon
create the force of precedent. Nov is
the time" he exclaimed, land we are
the people to watch with jealousy such
beginnings, to Indignantly attack them
and If possible to destroy them"
In conclusion, he said:
Remove the cause Of the unrest,
silence the ceaseless, senseless clamor
for spectacular effect on the part Of
the man in the White House and quiet
will be restored"

SAIL OUT OF PORT
UNUSUAL SIGHT IN THE HAIR
BOR OF CHARLESTON.
Fifteen Schooners Pass Out to Ocean
With Favorable Breezes After
Varying Stays in Port.

The Charleston Post says strik
ilgly handsome sight was aforde.
Monday morning in the departur;
Of fifteen schooners out OF the harbo,
after a detention by contrary wind:
to nearly month. Since the las
week in August, the wind has beer
holding to the east and northeas
daily with the exception Of Sep
temb Der l and s, when for par
Of these days it veered to the south
and southwest Last night the wind
the passing OF the rainstorm Of yes
terday and the coming Of the high
pressure from the west, and bright
| and early this morning the sails
! were raised and the long detained
fleet raised anchors and started down
the bay.
It was a beautiful sight, rarely
seen in Charleston or any South At
lantic harbor, for this number Of
vessels are not often cleared and
made ready to sail together. In
some cases two or three abreast
and at times strung out in single
column, 1t seemed as IL some armada
of centuries ago. before steam dis
placed canvas to the methods Of
propulsion Of ships Of war, was
proceeding to attack an enemy.
Slowly at first, and then at faster
gait, the feet moved down the ha:-
Dor and the sight was viewed with
much interest and pleasure. In some
cases until the vessels became as 80
many little black specks against the
horizon.
The vessels which sailed were all
bound for New York with cargoes
Of lumber. Nine Of the vessels
were cleared with cargoes here ami
the remaining six were from the
southwark, having put into Charles
ton for a harbor, made necessary
by the easterly winds. The Lottis
Russells, one Of the vessels which
sailed, essayed the task the first
part Of the month and after having
remained at sea of Charleston
thirteen days, unable to make any
progress, and being as a painted
ship upon a painted ocean, returned
to port. She will have better luck
this time.
The anxiety Of the feet to get to
sea was evidenced in the departure
of so many vessels in the face OF
the knowledge of the existence of a
tropical storm of Cuba. The ad-
vices that the storm was curvin2
and would probably not come in this
direction was not received until the
fleet had left port. The masters
we're taking no more chances on be-
ing shut up In port.
The fleet which sailed today was
made up Of the following Schooners:
Judge Pennewell, Edgar c. Ross,
Massachusetts; Thomas Winsmore,
Harry Prescott, Victor c. Records,
George May, Thomas F. Pollard,
Warren Adams, John B. Manning,
Joel Cook, Lottie Russell and Paul

She is said by the police to be one
of the women who held the girl
prisoner.
Both she and Susso were arraigned
before Magistrate Voorhees, in the
New Jersey avenue court.
