MAN WHO LOST
 CzAR'S FLEET DEAD
RojestVensky Suecumbs to h.
 juries Received In War.

St. Petersburg. July 21.-vice Ad- miral Rotestvensky. who commanded the ill fated Russian fleet which was annihilated by the Japanese in the sea of Japan in May, 1905, died at Bad Nauheim, Germany, from heart trouble.
 It is believed that the heart affec- tion resulted from injuries received by Admiral Roiestvensky in the battle of the Sea of Japan.
 Unhappily the many brilliant achieve ments which marked the career of Ad- miraI Sinovi Petrovitch RoJestvensky are overshaodwed by the two great blunders which he made in the last and most tragic naval expedition of Russia against the Japanese. the great war of the far east.
 The first mistake was when he fired on the hapless British trawlers of the Dogger banks in the north sea. The second and final error was when he endeavored to take his entire fleet through the strait of COrea and so placed it at the mercy of the naval ambush prepared by Vice Admiral Togo.
 SinOvi Petrovitch Roiestvensky was about sixty years of age and was al the time of his death one of the mos; coolheaded and scientific officers in the Russian service.

A Bad Guess.

John Hawtrey was one of England's famous whipping schoolmasters. At Eton in autumn the small boys used to buy chestnuts and roast them in a shovel over the fire. One day boy named F.. who was a great favorite of Hawtrey's. had lot of chestnuts and as a special favor was allowed to make use of the pupil room fire while the boys were all studying. Hawtrey was going in and out of the room while we were woFking, and on one occasion, coming in rather quietly. he caught sight of F. kneelilg over the fire ar. ranging his chestnuts The boys posi-
 ton was irresistible to any lover of the art of chastisement Not seeing his face and supposing 1t was one of the other boys stealing the chestnuts, John Hawtrey quietly took his cane from his desk and. creeping forward on tip toe. gave the wretchcSi s most tre- mendous whars The hoy jumped up with .'''nd behind

MIR. BRYAN'S CAMPAIGN.
He Will Rely on Pen Rather Than on Voice, Says South Carolina Follower.

Columbia, s. C., July 21.-"Air. Bry- ans campaign will have at least one novel feature" said William E. Con- gales. editor of the Star, who returned from the west, during which he visited the Democratic standard bearer at Fair view. That feature will be the re- sort to the press rather than the plat form.
 When I appealed to Mir. Bryan to make as vigorous speaking canvass as in 1S96," continued Mir Gonzales, he said he could be more effective in writing arguments for Democracy that newspapers can use if they will over his signature. When 1 saw him last week 1t was Mir. Bryan's intention to deliver two, perhaps three. speeches fin New York state. one of them in New York city, and six or eight speeches iE the states of Illinois, Ohio and h. diana.
 The remainder of the campaign Mfr. Bryan expects to stay at home and prepare letters or articles in the nature of signed editorials for such newspa- pers as will use them. He will also discuss the issues with any Democrat ic speakers who wish to consult him."

Hotel acScnmnl ..a;,ers In India.

All over the world Indian hotels have bad name to my one who has been used to a moderate degree of com fort and good feeding. They are for the most part disgrace. Why people should have to pay from 10 rupees to % rupees day ia the cold season and from rupees to 12 rupees day fin the hot season without receiving comfort and good feeding seems at first difficult to answer. AS rule. the feeding is most inferior. badly served up. table cloths and napkins frequently dirty. not to speak of the knives. forks. spoons and tumblers. Bedrooms are badly looked after. and unless one has a very smart bearer 1t is difficult to re- ceive proper attention. All this should not be for such prices as people pay. In many third rate boarding houses in England one could get presumably as good as what Is got in some of the so called first class hotels in Calcutta. India PrI.i's T--~''''

 New York, July 21.-Believing they were about to capture August Eber- hard. the grocer's clerk who is sought by the police in connection with the murder by shooting of his aunt. Mrs. 0ttillie Eberhard. on the railroad tracks near Hackensack. \. l.. the police and a posse of citizens searched s two acre thicket at Oakdale. \. J., finally capturing the suspect, only to learn that he was a tramp.
 A dispatch from Hastings. V. r.. said that a man had been arrested at Uniontown. in the Sawmill valley, whom the authorities there believed to be August Eberhard. who is being sought by the New Jersey authorities suspected of the murder of his aunt.
 A subsequent dispatch from Dobbs Ferry. where the man was taken. gave a description of him which did not tal- ly with that of Eberhard. The prison CT was described as at least thirty years old. August Eberhard is only swenty.
 The police do not think that the murderer will be captured near the scene of the crime They say that any one who could display such cold blooded cunning as was shown in the murder plot. placing the woman's body after she was shot on the rail- road track to be cut in two. would plan to get safely away before the crirle was discovered IL would have been easy for the murderer to get to Paterson or Newark by trolley car. and from either of these places he could get a train for the west or south His parents live in Pough- keepsIe. \. \.

was also nlttitersd and that his body was concealed.
 Friends of August Eberhard are at loss to understand his disappear ance after the murder of his aunt and the woundins of Miss Ottillie Eber- hard. his pretty twenty-year-old cousin and aftianced bride.
 Coroner De Mund of Hackensack reported to Prosecutor Rooster that one of the bullets found in the body of Mrs. Eberhard entered from the back. The muzzle of the revolver was held so close to the body that the flesh was filed with powder and was burned.
 Withdrew Savings From Bank.
 The police were told by the Manhat- tan grocer. who employed Eberhard as a clerk. that within the last few days the young man withdrew all his sav- ings. amounting to about S2O0. from the Bowery Savings bank. Then, as business was slow at the store. the young man obtained leave of absence from his employer until Sept and left the store for what he said was to be a rest.
 While Mrs. Eberhard's funeral was taking place one of the most remarka- ble searches ever planned in New Jer- sey was going forward for the mur- derer. This search extended from mountain fastnesses to the sea coast. embraced many hundreds of miles of territory. occupied the thoughts and energies of hundreds of men. carrying 1 them into remote places. and threw the population of Hackensack and many nearby towns into great excite. ment
 ! The prosecutor has obtained a good description of August Eberhard. which has heen sent broadcast through the country. Eberhard is about twenty two years of age. weighs 15O pounds has light brown hair. smooth face: is undersized. but of stocky build. When last seen he wore a straw hat and light summer suit.

Beardman was writer of plays,
ultimately fairly well known in his
day. For nearly twenty years he
struggled and fought his way along
without meeting with any very pro-
nounccd success, each play in turn
proving more or less of failure. At
last, however, he produced play that
really caught the public taste. He and
the famous Sheridan happened to be
present together on the opening night.
All went we'll. Success followed sue

each scene At the end of the second

He Failed to Pass.

before him came a youth who failed
miserably on all that pertained to jur-
isprudence, case law, civil law, sump-
tuary law, unwritten law and due
process of law. Finally Butler, who
rather liked the chap and wanted to
see him through, asked: "What would
you like to be examined in? You have
failed in everything we have sug-
gested."
The reply came. 'Try me on the
