In his appeal for more liberal ap-

while millions of dollars have been
appropriated for the education of
Indians and the Eskimos of Alaska,
the appropriations to this university
have been comparatively small, al
though it has to do with the uplifting
of 100000 of negroes on whom have
been placed the duties and response
bilities of citizenship.
while some state institutions for
negroes are maintained in the south,
vet the appropriations for some of
them are generally limited, and mostly
from the Morrill, fund. Hence, the i'm

Success in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov 8.-Remarkable re-
suits in curing tuberculosis of the
bones, demonstrated in a five weeks
trial at the Home for Destitute Grip
pied Children, today turned attention
to a treatment discovered by DR. Emil
Beck, of this city. The treatment.
which promises to bring relief to a
large percentage Of sufferers from this
form of the great white plague, is
simplicity itself, and consists for the
most part in filling the cavity caused
by the disease with a metallic salt,
bismuth subnitrate, combined with a
basis of vaseline.
The discovery was incidental to an

The solution was applied to fix the

noted financier when he predicted the
era of prosperity upon which we have
now entered. but there was this not
able difference that he spoke entirely
from business standpoint, and his
predictions of revival of business
were not based on politics, but OH the

Mr. Richards in his first interview

ALASKAN HERO HoNoRED.
Corporal Who Saved Injured Wood.
chopper Receives Certificate.

Washington. November S.-Recom-
mendation has been made by Rrig.-
Gen. James Allen, chief signal officer
tarv OF War Wright that a certificate
of honor be awarded to Corporal Roy
F. Con, of the signal corps. for heroic
action in saving the life of wood
chopper whose feet had been frozen, in
Alaska.
Corporal Cox. during part of the haz-
ardous trip, covered a distance of forty
miles through a raging blizzard at a
speed seldom exceeded by dog teams
under the most favorable travelling
conditions He had to break trail'
the entire distance, and the temperature
was so below zero. His prompt first
aid" treatment and quick action in
taking the man sixty-five miles
through the blizzard to hospital saved
his life.
The certificate carries with it an in
crease of 81 q month from the date of
the meritorious performance. The
recommendation was made by Capt
Alfred T. Clifton, at Fort Gibbon,
Alsaka. whose official report says.
Beyond reasonable doubt, the wood
chopper owes his life to Corporal Cox's
action in going after him. the iudg-
ment which the latter showed in treat
ing him after arriving at his side, the
remarkably good time made in getting
him to the hospital under the most un-
favorable conditions and at the OK
pense of great eXertion and fortitude."

WARNER A FREE MAN.
Will Be Released Today from Charles
town State Prison.

Boston, Nov. 8-Lewis Warner, q
former banker and manufacturer OF
Northampton and at one time wei
known i'll political circles throughout
Massachusetts, will be released tomor.
row morning from the state prison
where he has been serving a sentence
of nine years for misapplying the
funds of the Hampshire Savings Bank
Of that city. Speculation was the cause
OF Warmers downfall. In April, 1898
the entire state was shocked by the
announcement that Warner had fled
from Northampton leaving shortage
of 100000 in the Hampshire Savings
Bank, of which he was treasurer, and
the Hampshire County National Bank
of which he was president. Both insri-
tutions closed their doors. The savings
bank was never re-opened but months
later the national bank was re-organ-
lied and placed on firm founda-
ton. The crash also carried down the
Northampton Bicycle Co., and the
Hadley Machine Works, in both OF
which Warner was the controlling fac
tor. He had been connected with the
banks for more than 80 years. without
against him, yet his wrong doings had
extended throughout that period.
The former banker was for several
years treasurer of Hampshire county
and in 1856 was an unsuccessful candi-
date for state treasurer on the Demo-
cratic ticket. He had been member
of the city government of Northamp-
ton and chief of the fire department.
which ne organized He was popular
and when the news of his shortage be-
came known the city was stunned.
Three months after his disappear
ance the banker was seen in Louisville,
Ky, by commercial traveller who
knew him. On July Is he was arrested.
At that time he was without funds.
On Aug. p. Warmers trial began. on
20 counts, charging the embezzlement
Of $4,000 from the Hampshire Savings
Bank. Warner did everything possible
in helping straigEten out the banks al
fairs, and displayed much of his old
time self reliance. In Jail, however, his
reason appeared to have given away
and under the hands of experts with
stood all tests made to establish his
sanity. The Judge failed to be convinc-
Ell. however, and Warner was tried,
convicted and sentenced to a term OF
not less than nine or more than II
years in state prison. The sentence was
pronounced Nov. 8. 1899, and the scene
was most pitiable one. Warner, ap-
parently insane and speechless, had to
be held up by two men while the SEN
tence was pronounced
Warner had been at Charlestown but
few hours when he regained his
speech. He was given clerical work and
has faithfully performed his duties
and has been an exemplary prisoner.
