Last OF the Old santee.

Washington, August 2. Another
relic of the famous old wooden navy
Of the United States passed into
private hands, probably to be reduced
to junk, when the Navy Department
accepted the bid of Joseph G. Hitner,
OF Philadelphia, of $3.50 for the
Santee. She was an old sailing
frigate, laid down in 1920, and was
for nearly half a century on duty at
the Naval Academy, where many ad-
mirals and high ranking officers Of the
present Navy were confined on her
when she was the midshipmen's prison
ship.

Bull overturns Red Auto.

Elkhart, Ind.-Five persons narrow
ly escaped death or serious injury here
when a bull, maddened by the sight Of
a big red automobile, charged the car,
overturning it into a ditch at the road

Is believed, prevented the occupants
of the car from being gored. The ami
nal was so badly injured that it had
to be shot.

the Announcement That She

Grace when the jury found her not
guilty OF the charge Of shooting her

the verge of a collapse, but her law
yers patted her on the shoulder and
urged her TO restrain herself and she
soon became calm Then the crowd
in court cheered the verdict and
surged about Mrs Grace, many OF the
women weeping.
At last the deadly witeness OF Mrs.
Grace's face was relieved by flush
and she began to smile. Then she
approached each of the y jurors and
gave them thanks.
Il felt like kissing and hugging you
ALL she said. Il trusted you all the
time. know you would not believe
what they said about me" Followed
by a cheering throng, Mrs. Grace soon
left the courtroom and went TO the
Offices of her attorneys. There she
received telegram from her sister in
Philadelphia to the effect that Mrs.
Grace's little blind son is i'll.
The verdict was generally expected.
1t was conceded that the state failed
tc sustain the charge that Mrs. Grace
had drugged and shot her husband
and locked him in TO die in order TO
get $4,000 insurance on his life.
Mrs. Grace's statement had ire
mendous effect on the jury, and its
main statements were generally
credited, and especially those relating
TO the large sums she had layished on
Grace and his attentions to other
women.

CURIOUS BITS

TOR DODD.
BY A. w. MACY.

In 1776 Rev. William Dodd,
IL. D., popular minister, at
one time chaplain to the king,
and author of many religious
books, Including a commentary
on the Bible, found himself in
great financial straits and forg-
ed a bond for 4,2oo pounds, He
was detected, tried, found guilty
and sentenced to death, notwith-
standing he returned three
fourths of the money and guar
anteed to make good the rest.
Strong efforts were made to Sc.
cure his pardon, men of high
standing working night and day
to that end< One petition alone
contained $4,000 signatures. But
the authorities were obstinate
and refused to yield. George III
Wavered for a time, but finally
declined to interfere and save
the life of his old chaplain. The
Doctor was confined in Old Bal
ley prison, and on June 6, 1878,
all the other convicts being as
sembled in the prison chapel,
he preached his own funeral SER

ECONOMIC HEALTH.

If the present trend of events
by which the money power of
the country is rapidly falling
into the hands of, a few is not
changed the economic health of
the nation is doomed. One
striking statement by Mr.. IN
termyer, which was a part of an
interview cabled from Paris. is
as follows:
1T is a recognized fact in the
American financial world today
that no enterprise, however mer-
itorious and profitable, which in
wolves raising as much, say, as
$10,000,000 has the slightest
chance of favorable considera-
ton if it interferes with an en-
terprise that is controlled by or
is under the protection Of or is
friendly to the banking inter-
ests as represented by two or
three of the great New York
firms"
I am not yet ready to point
out the specific examples Of the
harm being accomplished by the
so called money trust. 1t is one
of the great problems, if not the
greatest, to be solved by the
American people. | do not agree
with Mr.. Untermyer that
complete remedy for the trust
problem has become impossible.
We must have laws that will be
applicable to each part Of the
diseased financial and industrial
system and apply the remedy so
as not to be disastrous to private
wealth and private business. To
admit this to be impossible would
be equal to renouncing the law
or admitting its ineffectiveness.
Governor Woodrow Wilson.
