FREDERICK SEWARD DEAD.
Closely Associated With Grave
Events i'm Nations History.

Montrose, n. Y, April 25.-Fred-
erick w. Seward, assistant secretary
of state in the cabinets of Presidents
Lincoln, Johnson and Hayes, and son
of the late Secretary of State Will
liam Fl. Seward, died here today in
his S5th year.
Mr.. Seward was closely associated
with some of the gravest events in
the nations history. 1t was he who
was sent on the memorable mission
from Washington to Philadelphia to
warn President Lincoln that his life
was in danger if he followed his
itinerary through Baltimore.
Three years later Seward figured
in another stirring incident. He
was at his fathers bedside when
Payne, one of Wilkes Booths accom-
plices, pretending to be a messenger
with medicine for Secretary Seward
suddenly drew revolver and beat
back Frederick Seward into uncon-
sciousness. Then, dashing into the
sick room, Payne slashed Secretary
Seward many times. Both Stewards
eventually recovered. Later Payne
was captured and executed with 9TH
ers involved in the Lincoln assassi-
nation plot.

Warships Are Now willing to
Risk Battle.

London, April 25.-A Copenhagen
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph

clare that the German feet is willing

German fleet last Sunday off Helgo-

the German fleet had one desire

.EL0P|NG COUPLE ARE
HELD IN CHARLOTTE
Young Lancaster County Girl
Carried Away by Syrian.
JOHN HINSON'S DAUGHTER
Miss Ola Hinson, the WouId-Be
Bride. is Restored to Her
Father by the Police.

The Charlotte Observer of Monday
has the following account of an
elopement, which is of interest to
the people of Lancaster county:
Intercepted on what they had plan.
ned should be joyous honeymoon,
George Mike, Syrian, and Miss Ola
Hinson, a 16-year-old girl of Elgin,
5. c., were arrested here by the po-
lice yesterday and held until the ar
rival of the young womans father.
John Hinson. He came last night
at 1O:3O o'clock and will accompany
his daughter home today.
According to the young woman'3
narrative to Chief of Police Moore
yesterday, she left the home of her
parents Saturday night to spend the
night with a neighbor, and did So

but by prearrangement met Mike.
They boarded the northbound train
for Charlotte and reached this city
few minutes after noon. But alas
and alackaday for all their fond
imaginings. Hardly had the train
been brought to full stop before
! they found themselves interrogated
and detained by two minions of the
law, to-wit: Officers Walter Orr and
Wilson.
The conductor of the train had be-
come suspicious owing to the appa-
4, rent youth Of the girl and telegraph
ed the Charlotte stationmaster, sug-
gesting that he notify the police.
Chief Moore got in communication
by telephone with Mr.. Gregory at
Lancaster, S. c., near Elgin. John
Hinson lives on Gregory's farm. 1t
developed that the alarm had been
| given and numbers Of the girls rela-
tives and the friends of the family
were engaged in the search for her,
| including Mr.. Gregory.
Mike is n pedler, who had been
working the territory about Elgin
for some time and had visited Miss
Hinson's home more than once
whereupon they became enamoured
of each other and decided to elope
! In former years all the elopements
were from the Old North State to the
| Palmetto State but now the order
has been reversed. The Syrian is
about 80 years old. AS soon as II
was noised abroad that he was in
/ trouble the fellow feeling of his
countrymen asserted itself and sew
eral prominent local Syrians paid
him visit to proffer assistance and
| counsel.
In any case the dream of an elope-
ment was in vain for it would not
have been possible to procure license
for the wedding here without the
consent of the girls parents because
of her obvious youthfulness.
No warrant had been issued
against Mike last nigh. and so it was
not known whether the father would
attempt to prosecute him on the
charge of persuading the young wo
man to leave home.

telephone communication between

The roads between the cantonment
and main post were several feet un.

"cANNoN-rooD" STILL PLENTY.

Apropos of the large number of soldiers re-
ported killed during the present European
war, one frequently hears the remark, S. they
keep on killing them off at this rate there will
soon be none left to fight. =
Let us see how that figures out IS.
The total population of the earth is placed
at 1872 100000. Nearly % per cent of the
total population is engaged in the present war:
The population of the Allied nations at war is
as follows: Great Britain, 1900, 600; France,
100000; Russia, l4i 900 600; Italy, 81, 0Q0
900; Belgium, 100000; Japan, 53,00O.0O0;
Serbia, 100000; Montenegro, 100000. The
population of the countries on the Teutonie
side is as follows: Germany, $1,000 900; Aus
tria- Hungary, 100000; Turkey, 21,0OO,00O.
The total of the Allies is 326 SOC, 600; the total
of the Teutons is 136,OO0O0O.
The total population of the nations at war,
as given above, is 49,, 100000 With Rumania,
Bulgaria and Greece taking hand in the con-
fict the total is raised to $4,000 900. Allowing
one-half of the combined population to be
males, and only one male out of ten actively
engaged in warfare, there would be something
like 23,95D,0 900 soldiers TO be killed off before
that state of none left to fight arrived. b

NOT A PARTY ISSUE.

President Wilson's plan to ask Republican
as well as Democratic support for the military
defense program is an indication of the grow
ing tendency to break party lines in the dis
cussion of vital legislation in this country.
Even that bulwark of the parties, the tariff
question, will ultimately be taken from the
realm of partisan control, and schedule-making

made up of experts. The high-protectionists
and the tariff -for-revenueo only chaps will still
continue their nnending debate, but the facts
will be furnished by scientifically equipped
men.
There is no reason why the matter of mill
tary defense should be made party ISSUE
Some Republicans are pacifsts, against a
larger army and navy than Uncle Sam has at
present; some Democrats are keen for military
and naval expansion; and each party has plenty
