"President, Hoosevclt is losing no

his personal and official influence up
on the side of a reciprocity policy for

The Swedish residents of Ludington,
Mich., have introduced a custom of
their fatherland, namely, the employ

health association has boon organ

of whom pays CO cents a month to

no more than the $1,600 a year paid

That the father and brothers of
Czolgosz have been discharged from
their employment, because of the
crime of the son and brother, which
they deplore, is humiliating evidence
of the unreasonableness of many
people. There is every reason to be
lieve that if either of these three
relatives of the assassin bad the least

son and brother o fake the life of the

Washington, Oct. 15. Yesterday in
the Schley court of inquiry .Judge Ad
vocate bendy concluded presentation
of testimony for 1 lit government and
the first of Admiral Schley's wit
nesses was introduced, (.'apt. KranclH
A. Cook, who commanded Admiral
(then commodore) Schley's flagship,
tlie ISrooklyn, during the Santiago
campaign, and who acted, though un
officially, in the capacity of chief of
stall for the commodore, was on
the witness stand the greater part
of the day. Ho was followed by
Lieut, (,'ominandor William b I'lillam,
who was senior wateh officer on (he
Now Orleans during the Spanish war,
and former Lieut. Joseph ileale, who
as an officer on I lie Harvard trans
lated the cipher dispatches between
Commodore Schley and the navy de
partment carried by that vessel.
Among those dispatches was that
sent by Commodore Schley, May US,
expressing regret at not having been
able lo obey the orders of the de
partment and explaining tin; reason
why he could not do so. There are
some verbal discrepancies between
,he original draft, of (his dispatch
and tlie official print of it, and these
Mr. llenle explained.
Lieut, Hcale was the last of the
government witnesses, although
('apt. Lemly explained that he
would reserve the right to call others
if occasion should demand that, he
do so. He had no sooner retired
than the first witness for Admiral
Schley was called. This proved to
be the Cuban pilot, Kdwardo Nunez,
who told Schley on May U0, 1808, that,
he did not believe the Spanish fleet
under Cervera was in the harbor at
Santiago.
('apt. Cook's testimony was a re
view of the entire campaign after
Cervcra's fleet, beginning-with the de
parture of the flying squadron from
Key West, on May 10 and concluding
with the battle oil' Santiago, .July 3.
lie said that at, first it had been be
lieved by both Sampson and Schley
that the Spanish fleet was in the
harbor at Cienfuegos and that, in
formation to tin; contrary had not
been conveyed to Commodore Schley
until the arrival of dipt. MeC'alla on
May U4; that it was Commodore
Schley's expectation to meet the
Spaniards in the open sea and his
constant, care was to have coal
enough for such emergency. He
gave particulars concerning tlie ret
rograde movement and explained the
Hrooklyn's loop in connection villi a
graphic account of the engagement
of July .'!. Asked for an opinion as to
Admiral Schley's bearing as a com
manding officer, lie said: "1 always
regarded him as an enthusiastically
bravo and patriotic officer."

of deputies yf tlie Episcopal Church
of America, sitting as a" committee
of the whole, yesterday atlopted the
proposed canon prohibiting the re
marriage of divorced persons for
causes not arising previous to their
former marriage. The canon was

The amendment of T)r. Hunting
ton, Of New York, making an excep
tion in the case of the innocent
party to a divorce granted on the
ground of adultery, was rejected by
a vote of 15S to 17a.
The result of the vote In the com
mittee of the whole was reported to
the house of deputies, who will vote
on the. matter. The result, how
ever, may not be the same, for in the
bouse the vote of DO delegates Is re
quired to carry a measure, tlie di
vided delegations virtually counting

Washington, Oct. 15. President
Hoosevclt is devoting considerable
time, to Investigating immigration
conditions and yesterday consulted
Assistant Secretary Taylor and Com
missioner of Labor Carroll I). Wright
upon the subject.
lloprosontatlvo Ovorstrcct, of In

enactment of u law which will make
silver exchangeable with gold, be
lieving, he says, that such a law would
forever end the' "battle of stand
ards," talked with President Hoose
vclt, upon that subject. Mr. Over
street pressed such a bill in tho last
congress, but it was not acted upon.
He will reintroduce it at the coming
ucBsion and hopes for favorable ac
tion. Among others who saw the presi
dent yesterday was Senator I'ryo, of
Maine. The senator talked lo the
president, about the ship subsidy bill.
Mr. Frye has prepared a new bill, but
says he will not gho it out until it
is introduced at, tlie coming session.
Ho says he does not want it riddled
now by hostile critics, but is willing
to receive friendly suggestions. Sen
ator Frye Rays he helices that there
is much brighter prospect for a
shipping bill at the coming session
than there was at the last congress.
The whole subject was discussed with
the president by Senator Frye.

Topeka, Kan., Oct. 15. The State
Temperance union has begun a great,
poster campaign throughout Kansas,
as well as a gospel temperance cam
paign. The poster campaign is to be
carried on by field representatives of
(he union' who will go directly from
town to town distributing literature
and putting up in prominent and per
manent positions from two to a half
dozen large posters 19xU0 Inches In
size.
Among other tilings which this
poster oontailis is the following para
graph in prominent type: "Every
city and county in Kansas' which,
through its citizens or its officers,
winks at, the violation of law is fos
tering anarchy. To strike down the
laws which the people have made is
as serious a form of anarchy as to
strike down the rulers which the peo
ple have elected. In either ease the
government is attacked. Every city
in Kansas which is sowing to the wind
must be purged, or it will reap the
whirlwind of disrepute and social and
civic rottenness."

a respected lady of this place, has.
suffered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange

Itheunintism, another painful result
of deranged Kidneys, added its tor

Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also,
exhausted their skill, but all to no.
purpose.
At this stage of the case a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box.
an improvement wns noticed and the
continued treatment resulted -in a
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created a de
cided sensation in the neighborhood'
because of tho complications of tho
case as well as its severity and ap
parent hopelessness.
Upo'n investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills nre found to be the only rem
edy that has ever cured Bright's Dis

hitherto incurable diseases are read
ily conquered by this remarkable
