1t is only after that time that he gives
his personal mail any attention.
Nevertheless, he does an enormous
amount of business. 1t is said that
Napoleon could dictate to four stenO-
graphers on four different subjects at
the same time and keep them all busy
The secretary seems able to carry on
Two trains OF thought in the same way.
He is often talking while signing his
mail. He is a swift reader, and his eye
grabs page at a glance. Nevertheless,
he knows just what he is signing, and
he viii often stop and order corrections
or have the letter change or laid away
for some future time. He is an even
minded man. He does not worry and he
sleeps well of nights.
I asked him to tell something about
the Deniels family and where it came
from. He replied:
''The name Daniels is Welsh and the
most of my family came from Wales.
They emigrated to this country at an
early date and settled in North Caro-
lima, where my father was a farmer.
My father began his life on a farm.
Then he took a notion he would like to
be a shipbuilder, and he went into a
and learned the trade. 1t is
rather strange that I, also, should be
with ships after these many
years"
My mother is a very extraordinary
woman" continued the secretary. In
the hard times following the war she
succeeded not only in making our own
living, but she gave a fairly good edu-
cation to her three children. At first
she kept a millinery store. Then she
made dresses. and after time she be-
,ame poStmistress of the town where
we lived. OF course, I helped. I had to
work hard, and think was fortunate. |

well as grammar and the other funda-

can 90 higher and learn a trade.
1t will be good for the men and
good for the officers. Within two
years after a man has left Annapolis
he begins to forget what he has
learned there. This will make him
continue his studies and he will have
the advantage, as it were. of post
graduate course.
Besides" continues secretary Dan
iels, I think our officers need more
training after they have left the acad-
envy I want more of them to 90 to
the naval college to learn strategy and
to plan out the possible warfare of the
future. When I visited that Institution
the other day I found that there were
about as many men in the faculty as
there were in the school It is my idea
that every officer should spend some
time at that college. and that he should
not be allowed to command a ship IN

Court Action Taken During Mans

st. Louis.-After an absence OF rs
years in the west, Walter Ludwig re-
turned to Belleville, ILL.,, only to find
that he had been dead, lsgally, for
years and that his inheritance had
been divided among other heirs.
Ludwig, whose real name was Wal
ter James, was sent to Belleville as
an orphan when his parents died in
New York. He was adopted by Aman-
dus Ludwig. with whom he lived for
Is years. He then ran away, going
west, and never was heard from again
until he returned to Belleville.
When the elder Ludwig died Is
years ago he left property valued at
$4,000 to his foster son. After seven
years had passed with no word from
the foster son, other heirs asked a
court to declare him legally dead.
This was done and his inheritance
was divided.

FREES ALL HER PRISONERS

no very high intelligence to know
whether one prefers the monarchy to
the republic, or to realize that the
object Of attack was the republic; so
that, assuming that all the prisoners
were guilty Of taking up arms or &C
lively conspiring against the republic,
which, of course, is not the case, the
net result of the distinction drawn by
the governr' ent is to reward those
who fought against the republic, not on
principles, but wantonly, in order to
earn a few shillings, and to retain In
prison those who did so honestly, from
conviction.
It is precisely those who were con-
demned rather owing to their convic-
tions than their actions who are to
be kept In prison. Because some Of
them are priests and others belong
to the Portuguese nobility they are
held responsible, and are to continue
to serve a sentence to which they
should never have been condemned.
No one wishes a nobleman to have
more favor in the eyes Of the law
than a peasant, but why should he
have less?"
The conspiracy" Of those now re-
leased Is at least as clearly estab-
lished as that Of those who remain in
prison. The present government pro
fesses to abolish God and religion. but
in undertaking to Judge men by their
motives rather than by their proved
acts 1t is assuming a prerogative com
monty held to be not human but
divine.

] sbon.-In order to square itself
with the opposition, but more partic-
ularly with the world at large, the
government, on the third anniversary
OF the republic, released 300 Royalist
prisoners, some of whom had been
kept in Jail for three years without
trial. This act has called forth CEN

press of Portugaps Tammany-which
declares that the royalists should

release, however, is not so much to

The majority of the prisoners now
released are peasants and poor work
men, distinction having been drawn
by the government between these and
the less poor or the better educated.
