and square manner, Wondering Goldfish
was blown to atoms and John Semenich

Yesterday they were dividing a keg of
powder. They knew but one way to
make a fair measurement
Placing the key on a table. the men
stood before it. Goolish took out a hand
full and placed 1t on the table beside him.
Semenich did the same. The tedious
progress was continued until only one
handful remained At a loss how TO
divide this. it was finally decided to set
it off. Unthinklngly Goldfish touched a
match to l. There was a puff and the
two larger pics of powder also exploded
Goolish was blown through the roof and
killed. while Semenich was probably
fatally burned.

Coronation Sermons.
From Truth.

from ruin.
In the old days, when prelates were
constantly called upon for sermons on
special occasions. they frequently either
paid for q. suitable discourse or begged
some competent friend to write one for
the occasion. Bishop Johnson gained
general applause In 1859 for sermon
preached In Westminster Abbey at a
great service on the day Of thanksgiving
appointed to be observed for the signal
successes With which his majesty's arms
had been blessed" An enthusiastic vote
Of thanks was passed by the house Of
lords to the preacher ''for his eloquent
and excellent discourse" and he was re-
quested to cause the same to be forth
with printed and published" 1t was an
nounced as the work OF James. by Dr.
vine Providence. Lord Bishop of Worces-
ter" but many years afterward the fact
was disclosed that every word Of this
sermon had been written for the bishop
by his friend Lord Mansfield. The SER
mon contained q glowing panegyric on
the many admirable virtues OF George II.

PETITIONS FILL SACKS,
Thousands Appeal for Clemency fol-
Woman Sentenced to Death.

OTTAWA, Ontario, July 1O-Three more
sacks full Of petitions praying for execu-
tive clemency in the case of Mrs. An
geline Napolitana. under sentence to be
hanged at Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, next
month for the murder Of her husband,
have been received by the justice de-
partment. The petitioners now number
tens OF thousands, representing all parts
OF the continent. Because Of its Pc
culiarly distressing conditions the case
has excited special interest in the United
States Petitions have been received by
hundreds from Chicago and other Ameri-
can cities. Even from Oklahoma and
other points thousands Of miles away
have come requests for mercy and offers
to pay for legal assistance for the wom-
an II her case comes before the cabinet
for final consideration.
In only one instance has capital punish
ment ever been imposed on a woman In
Canada. 1t appears to be thought here
that the sentence will be committed to
life Imprisonment, but the matter has not
yet been considered by the cabinet coun-
ell. The petitions may have some weight
with the government. but the evidence
will be weighed on its merits when it
comes UP for review some time within
the next fortnight.

The Fighting Nucleus.
from the Boston Advertiser.


Down goes another tradition before
assault. It is asserted that the idea that
all that is necessary for a national defense
is the existence OF a small. well trained
force Of able soldiers to form the nucleus
in time Of war for great volunteer
army, such as was created in the civil
war is obsolete. West Point critics point
out that the volunteer forces OF the
north were opposed by volunteer forces
Of the south. Whereas, in any war which
could occur now the opponents or the
American volunteer forces surrounding
the trained nucleus would be expert sol
diers, hwo' would not wait for the hetero-
eeneous American forces to become
trained and able.
1t is late to make the discovery. The
fact was the same years ago as 1t is to-
day. Do these West Pointers suppose
that It has been left for them to discover
unteer forces In '61? They take them
selves too seriously. But they go rur-
Their than that They reflect that the
conditions which then prevailed In a large
prepare men for war than those which
prevail today" Why so? The soldiers
of Massachusetts, were as effective as any
in the war. What was there In the ordi-
nary life of the Massachusetts man Of the
sixties to prepare him for war. any more
than in the life Of the Massachusetts man
of today? Let us gently recall also. the
DAYS OF '9S. Were the historic Rough
Riders more effective than the Massachu-
sets militia regiments? But the West
Pointers will not be convinced. 1t is
pointed out that with the advance of
civilization and the disappearance Of the
frontier and the hostile Indian. Ameri-
cans are becoming more expert with the
golf club and the billiard cue than with
the rifle and the sword.
Perhaps 1t can be arranged to fight
our future wars with these handy
weapons.

ASKS PRIVATE HEARING
IN THE HUTCH|NS CASE
Request Made by Trustee
Dante Denied by Audi
tor Dent.

Efforts OF William J. Dante, trustee oc
the Hutchins estate. to have the repre-
sentatives OF the press excluded from
the hearing today in the matter of the
inquiry into the income from the prop
erty of Stilson Hutchins were frustrated
by Auditor Dent, on the objection OF At
torneys Cuttings q Chamberlin. counsel
for Mrs. Hutchins.
Mr.. Cuttings pointed out to the audi
tor that many personal matters had been
adduced on the cross-examination nc
Mrs Hutchins by Attorney l.. g. Brand
enburg, counsel for the trustee. As these
had been made public. he saw no reason
why the remaining hearings should not
also be public.
Attorney Brandenburg suggested tho
trustee had no personal interest In tho
matter. but asked for the secrecy in
order to protect the interests of the per-
sons connected with the estate. The de-
tails, which would be brought out. he
said. were intimately related to Mr.,
Hutchins' private business and did not
concern the public.
Auditors Ruling.
Auditor Dent, in ruling that the hear
ing this afternoon proceed publicly.
stated that 1t appeared to him 10 be
futile to exclude the members Of the
press, when the information would ap-
pear in his report when made Unless
the court should direct that this report
be placed on the secret tiles OF the
court. Auditor Dent said he would pro-
coed with the hearing in the regular
way
Mrs. Rose Keeling Hutchins came from
Narragansett Pier to be present at the
hearing at o'clock today. She VIII re-
sumo the witness stand tomorrow.
Trustee on Witness Stand.
Trustee Dante took the stand at :
O. clock and in answer TO an inquiry from
Attorney Cuttings. said the gross incon"
from the Hutchins buildings al 10Th and
D streets northwest. was $11,21a. and trdt
the net income after paying ground :ents
taxes &c. was $4.27319.
Mr.. Dante was being asked as to ths
other properties of the millionaire wheu

migration commissioner Of New York,
before the House committee on rules
today at hearing on the Sulzer resolu-
ton to investigate the administration
Of Ellis Island.
II have repeatedly asked for more
money! he said, but Congress usually
has given me only from one-third to
one-half Of what I asked. None of my
critics has ever been found helping me
in trying to get money for these i'm
provements."
Denies Suffers Charges.
Commissioner Williams sad he hoped
Congress would send a committee to see
how well affairs are managed under
existing conditions. He emphatically de-
MED charges made by Representative
Sulzer and other witnesses at a former
hearing that Ellis Island affairs were
"barbarously" conducted.
He denied that any cases are judged
in a haphazard way. He accused vari-
Gus steamship companies of making
false manifests' relating to immigrants.
Some of these companies, he said OBJ
ject to taking back immigrants who had
been ordered deported, but whom they
had manifested as all right.
Most OF these steamship companies
represent foreign capital" he said, land
they have very little interest in United

companies regarding immigrants, just to
show you the kind OF people they are

Williams said persons in this country

NEW YORK WANTS CASH.
Would Recover Money Advanced
Government During Civil War.

NEW YORK. July 10.-After years of
inactivity another effort is to be made by
New York city 10 recover from the fed
eral government the sum Of 5000 600,
which the city spent in equipping SOL
diers for the civil war. Experts from
the controllers ONCE are now looking
into the history Of the city's claim, with
q view to taking II up forthwith.
When President Lincoln issued the first
call to arms the city adopted resolution
authorizing a bond issue of 100000 to
help fit out the army. With this money
5000 men were assembled and fully
equipped for the struggle.
The War Department later refunded to
the city part OF the money. leaving a
balance Of $685.. 600. After the war cities
throughout the north presented their
claims and nearly all were settled But
New Yorks claim was so large that II
was neverffeached.

Turf as a Filter.
From the Scientific American.

Recent experiments in France have
shown that natural turf is an excellent
material from which to form beds for
filtering of sewage. A volume Of between
three and four cubic meters of sewage
can be purified every day for every
square meter Of the surface Of the turf
A turf filter that has been in use for
some time shows no diminution Of ef-
flciency. II a larger proportion Of sew
age than that mentioned Is employed the
filter proves less effective. but it RECEIVERS
Its power when the amount of sewage is
reduced to the proper proportion. Chem
ical analysis and the effects upon fish put
into the filtered water unite in testifying
to the. efficiency Of the process.
