have been keeping company with a young
girl for quite some time and we are practi-
cally engaged but her mother has taken her
away on a trip. Now, recently I was in
troduced to young lady in Georgetown, and
am very much in love with her. Would
you kindly advise which would be the best
way TO inform my former friend of my
change Of attitude? Yours very sincerely.
JOHN H.
If you no longer love the young lady
to whom you were engaged, the kindest
thing to do would be to tell her quite
frankly that your affection for her has
changed. 1 hardly think you can love
either of the young ladies, because a
man whose affection can change so
quickly from one girl to another has
not the capacity to love anyone very
deeply or sincerely.

SON OF DECEASED BROTHER
Follows Claim Of Former Suits that

With Statutes.

Concord, N. H.,-Feb. 9-Another
complication in the contest over the
disposal of the S2,0O0,000 residue of
the estate of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover
Eddy, founder of the Christian Sci
ence denomination, is threatened.
George w. Baker of this city, son of
a deceased brother of Mrs. Eddy, has
decided to take steps to determine
what he considers his rights in the

SAYS ROOSEVELT
WASN'T At SAN
JUAN HILL
Reason Why Artist Christy Left
Him Out of Picture.
ROUGH RIDERS NOT IN IT
Famous Volunteer Regiment Attacked
Another Part Of Spanish
Breastworks.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 9.-Howard
Chandler Christy yesterday finished a
sketch of the battle of San Juan Hill,
which will be used in an encycloped-
la illustrative of the movements of the
different regiments which took part
in that famous battle. He has left
out the figure of Col Theodore Roose
welt, saying that Col. Roosevelt does
not belong in this picture because he
was not in the real battle OF San
Juan Hill. He says that the Colonel
was about three-quarters of a mile
away attacking another part of the
Spanish breastworks. He showed
histories of the Spanish-American
War and reports of the officers to
prove just where Roosevelt was.
Roosevelt was not in the battle
of San Juan proper" said the artist.
HE and his rough riders were three
quarters of mile away during the
San Juan Hill charge attacking Ket-
tie Hill If you will refer to your
histories OF the war, you will see that
In that charge 2S per cent of the men
were killed. In the other battle
where Roosevelt was, the percentage
was but 81 per cent. However this
does not say anything against Colonel
Roosevelt, and do not say II for that
purpose"

dy-Snatching Case Like That
OF A. T. Stewart
PURPOSE NOT REVEALED
One Body, That OF Late Representa-
tlve's Slster-ln-Law, Taken
Away In Wagon

Erie, Pa, Feb. 9.-This section of
Pennsylvania is stirred by body
snatching case which recalls the at
tempt to obtain ransom by the re-
moval of the remains of A. T. Stewart
the first of the great New York de-
partment store proprietors, over
quarter OF a century ago. One body,
that OF Mrs. McCullom, is missing
from the vault of the late Represen-
tative William II. Scott.
The mausoleum was desecrated
sometime between Monday and yes
terday afternoon. 1t is presumed
that the body of Mrs. McCullom was
taken away in a wagon and it was
APPARENT from the manner in which
the body-snatchers worked that they
were planning to also remove the re-
mains of Representative Scott.
A company OF women passing
through the cemetery made the dis
covery. On nearing the heavy
bronze gates, they noticed that the
lock on the outer gate was not fasten-
ed. A closer view showed them that
the panel of one of the inner doors
seemed to have been tempered with.
One of the women reached in through
the bars and touched the panel, where
upon 1t fell inward with a crash.
The women fed in terror and told
what they had seen to an acquain-
lance, who Immediately telephoned to
Mrs. Charles IL. Strong, the daughter
of the late William l.. Scott. Investi.
cation disclosed the facts above SET
forth.
William l.. Scott, in his 18th year
came from Washington to Erie where
he maintained his residence for the

tune through railroad and coal in
terests. At his death, he had become

$4,000 miles of railroads in the Uni
Eted States and Canada and his mining
interests covered upwards of 10000
acres OF coal lands. In 1884 he wal
elected to Congress. serving tive

turned a verdict OF not guilty against
a woman accused OF numbering her
sweetheart
Miss Eva Goldberg. twenty years

There were no witnesses. however,
and Judge Erdington instructed the
jury to bring in plea OF not guilty.
The father OF Boysen and other rel.
atlves had spent much money on leg

BROWN TOO FAST
FOR CHAMPION
AID WOLGAST
Had Best of Six Round Bout at
Philadelphia
IN LEAD ALL THE WAY
Pugillst Who Won Title from Battling
Nelson Made Poor
Showing
IN LEAD ALL THE WAY

Philadelphia, Penn, Feb. 8. --Ad
Wolgast, the champion lightweight
pugilist got the surprise of his pugil-
istic life last night at the formal open
ing of Jack O'Briens American Ath-
letic Club. He tackled Knockout
Brown in the main slx-round bout and
lost decisively. and from beginning
to end. 1t was rough fight and full
action, but at no time was Brown IN
danger On the other hand Wolgasts
superb condition stood-him In good
stead in his meeting OF Browns rush
es and punches, and while he was not
materially distressed at the finish he
was considerably mussed up.
Brown opened the proceedings with
a left swing on the side Of the head
and Wolgast covered up. Wolgast es-
sayed a bit of boxing, but Brown was
there with his customary punch,
which generally found resting
place. The champion seemed a bit
puzzled by Browns awkward style
which has feaZed more than one fight
er. Wolgast backed and side stepped
looking for chance to get in good,
but Brown was not idle a minute. On
points purely the round was Browns.
Knock Out, as in the previous round
started the going and pitched right
into the leader of the lightweights.
The crowd called TO Wolgast to show
something, but apparently he did not
have anything to show or was waiting
for a good chance. He dropped his
hands and Brown piled in, working
his left hand with good effect. AL
though the Knockout Boy" was do
ing most of the scoring there was a
smile on Wolgast's face as he went to
his corner.
They came together in a clinch as
the third round opened and scrambled
around the ring locked close togeth-
err. AS they got to the ropes they fell
through, and the referee had to pull
them back again, Brown landed time
and again on Wolgasts jaw. but the
latter did not seem to notice II.
| Wolgast started the fourth round
as though he was going to do some
real fighting, but the little blonde
Brown was always there and gener
ally with the punch. One after an
other smashing lefts of Browns found
the champions stomach and as q
most unusual thing he used his right
which heretofore he has never done
much with.
The crowd was astounded at the
showing Wolgast was making, anC
was loud In deriding him He surely
was showing poorly.
Brown opened the fifth round will
a hard left to the stomach, which h'
brought up on the champions mouth
cutting IL. Wolgast roughed 1t a bi
and the crowd ieered at his unfair
ness Brown was always coming ant
pounded and pushed the Western
fighter all around the ring.
Brown as usual started the sixth
round with left and right smashe
which landed. Wolgast clinched an,
butted. but he would not keep tn,
Knockout Boy" Off. Wolgast trie,
hard in this round, but he was "a
against IT, He tried for a cline
whenever he could In the hope tina
he could get his favorite close blow
home, but Brown beat him at his owl
game and finished the round In tn
lead.
