WASTED ELOQUENCE.
His Ono Great Speech Was Wholly
Lost on President Cleveland.

His Ono Great Speech Was Wholly
Lost on President Cleveland.
Colonel Franklin Pierce Morgan OF
Washington and New York never made
but one great speech, and the story OF
it is pathetic. His audience was Gro
yer Cleveland, then president OF the
United States, and his purpose was to
secure a pardon for q murderer named
O'Neil, in whom the colonel had be-
come interested.
I'll never forget that day." said the
colonel in telling about the incident.
II had told Dan Lamont the day be-
fore that I intended to ask Cleveland
to pardon ONeil, who was a creature
of the dark places at times, but pref
ty good fellow at that. Cleveland had
taken the precaution to send to the de-
partment Of justice and get the papers
in the case.
II got up early the next morning,
had q massage and was feeling tiptop
I got in to see Cleveland, and spoke
twenty minutes. Never in my life, be
fore or since. have l been as eloquent
as was pleading for that fellow
O'Neil. The end of every sentence
uttered brushed the edges of cloud
I concluded my argument confident
that had swept the president off his
feet.
"'Mr. Morgan he said, is that all
you have to say on behalf of your
friend?'
Mind you. he said friend
"'Yes, Mr.. President said, I think
that's ALL
"'Mr. Morgan he replied, never as
long as I am in the White House shall
that consummate scoundrel-consum
mate scoundrel. mind you-get out OF
the penitentiary.'
whats the use of eloquence, any
how" concluded the colonel.-Buffalc

principles OF the Progressive party
and is a follower OF Col. Roosevelt.
Recently he wrote some letters ex-
pressing his views on political topics
in the states.
These letters. il is said, fell into
the hands of the administration and

proper degree of respect for his chief.

a distinct shock in high administra-
ton circles.
Referred to White House.
When First Assistant Postmaster
General, c. P. Grandfield, was asked
the reasons for Mr.. Lands removal
he declined to talk. saying that any
information on the subject would
have to come from the White House.
At the White House a brief state
ment was made. II was that MIR.
Lands had been removed because he
had not given sufficient attention TO
the duties of his office and had been
neglecting the public service. The
removal was made, il was stated. on
reports from post office inspectors
who had examined the office. From
other sources close to the administra-
ton it was stated that Mr.. Lands had
not averaged more than five hours a
day in his office. Notwithstanding post
masters are expected to devote eight
hours a day to the public business.
The Senate Progressives are in
clined to think that the administra
ton, in precipitately busting Mr.. Ian
dis, is playing double-edged politics by
Furnishing the Lands family for its
Bull Moose proclivities on the one
hand, and rewarding faithful ally OF
the administration on the other.

THE MODERN CRAZE FOR BEAUTY.
By DR.. Frank Crane.

things, and I don't see where she is go
ing to get them.
The poor thing in question had merely
the spirit of her age. One of the strong
est traits of the present younger genera
ton is a fierce craving for beauty.
People want to be beautiful as they
never longed for personal charm before.
l cannot believe our great-grandparents
felt the chagrin of an unattractlVe race
as keenly as our children feel 1t.
The world today wants beautiful things
more than the world of yesterday. Not
only do women crave pretty clothes ana
furniture and back yards. but men wish
more beauty in the office and the work.
shop.
You do not understand this in the least
if you interpret 1t tomean merely a lust
for luxury. spendthrift craze for show
1t Is not that, it is the forthputting Of an
indestructible human instinct, which has
been long repressed by other forces and is
now asserting itself.
The nineteenth century was the most
wonderful of all the forty centuries or
so humanity has existed 1t was marked
by the advance Of science, the rapid de-
velopment of democracy the final eman-
cipation firm hoierarchy. the decay of war.

RETURNS TO CANAL ZONE
TO FACE FRAUD CHARGE
Frank K. PiIson, Accused of
EmbezzIement, Abandons
Extradition Fight.

Frank X. Pilson, former clerk in the
post office at Cristobal. Canal Zone, to-
day determined to abandon his fight
against the efforts of the government of
the zone to secure his extradition on a
charge of embezZlement Of $50 of the
postal funds. PilSon lost in the lower
court, but had noted an appeal. BY adj
vice of his counsel, w. Ciwynn Gardiner,
who had looked into the charge and de-
termined his client not guilty, Pi1son
decided to face trial.
He formally abandoned his appeal and
surrendered. l.. II. Deason, a police
man Of the zone. who happened to be
in this city on vacation, left with the
prisoner today.
Position of Filson.
Pilson raised the point that as the
Canal Zone is not a territory of the
United States. and no extradition
treaty exists between the United
States and the government of the zone,
an alleged fugitive from Justice cannot
be returned il appreheLdad here. Pill
son also expressed the fear that he
would not have a fair trial, as there
exists no trial by jury in the zone
Assistant United States Attorney
John Lewis Smith opposed the conten-
tion, claiming that the zone is terri
tory of the United States similar to the
District Of Columbia, and urged that
there should be comfy at least be-
tween two such possessions of the Unit
ed States. Justice Stafford sustained
this latter view of the law, denying
writ Of habeas corpus sought by Pil-
son after Chief Justice Clabaugh had
honored the requisition for the return
OF the postal clerk.

Andrew Gonzales, Slayer of
His Wife, Still Declares He

Disappointed at the failure of the law
to take his life on the scaffold this

of his wife, Madeline Gonzales, it is
stated, made plain to the guards and
others that he did not appreciate Presi-

more month to live.
During the past several weeks the
condemned man said many times:

Gov. Goldsborouxh's declaration that he
had been misled by prominent Hartford

Hartford county racing commission and
permitting the racing meet now in prog

New Law Probable.
AS a result Of the controversy, it is
likely that the next session of the 1egis-
lature will abolish the county racing COM
mission and enact a law providing for
state commission and Pari mutuel pools,
which will mean the end of bookmaking
on Maryland tracks

the county commission, when he was ap-
preached by Williams and others. On
