of Cnptnln Henry Nichols , the commander
of the United Stntcs doublc-turretcd moni
tor Monadnock , who died from sunstroke on
Saturday , took place at Cavlte yesterday
with appropriate naval ceremonies. The
officers of the fleet were present and the

The euddcn death ot Captain Nichols wan
particularly snd because It occurred just al

about to bo realized , namely , the capture ot
Paranaquo nnd Its occupation by the Ameri

flro fiom the rebels almost dally. The heat
hero him been Intense and thd ofTlcoifl and
men of the Monadnock Buffered greatly.
The commandor-ln-chlef offered to retire the
Monadnock from this trying duty nnd replace -
place It by another ship , but Captain Nichols
preferred to remain , declaring that he did
not want to leave his post until Paranaquo
fell nnd the coast from there to Cnvlte was
cleared of rebels. The hent on Saturday
was meat severe nnd the monitor was en-
; agcd all day In ehclltng the trenches at
Paranaquo nnd the rebels fleeing south
through Las Plnos , nnd also In matching the
American troops closing In upon the town .
Captain Nichols was overcome by the heat
at noon and retired to his cabin , where ho
received frequent reports of the operations
ind gave directions for several hours. Ho
became much worse at 3 o'clock , lost con-
sclousnese nnd expired at G In the afternoon.
Several hours before his death he expressed
gratification at the way events were pro
? reaslng , remarking to an officerVo :
have got the rebels there at last. "

Xobrnnkn SllcUm to the
rnllcn Idol.
CHICAGO , Juno 12. The Times-Herald
has been asking members ot the democratic
national comlttcc what should be their
party's battle cry In 1900 whether "fro
silver" or "down with the trusts , " or both.
Today the Times-Herald publlshta the
answers of these that have been received.
While only one of the replies of these dcm-
ocrfttlo leaders , the representative for
Maine , the home state ot Bryan's running
mate In 1896 , says "Drop free silver , " they
are all but unanimous In giving the trust
question a prominence It never had In the
platform of their own or any other party.
With one exception , nil who spenk freely
suggest that some other Issue will divide
the stage equally with frco silver.
Some say "militarism" or "Imperialism"
will bo ono ot the prominent Issues. Others
a tow frankly emphasize the trust ques
tion as the big thing. Still others speak for
a twin battle cry.
Ono commlttecman says flatly : "The
IPRUCS of ISflfi should be the Issues of 1900. "
This ono Is Alexander Troup of Connecticut.
Half n dozen of the comtnltteemcn are
cither noncommltnt or refuse to bo quoted.
They arc : George Fred Williams , Massa
chusetts ; D. J. Cnmpau , Michigan ; D. H.
Smalley , Vermont ; Frank Campbell , New
York ; T. D. O'Brien , Minnesota ; J. G. Dud
ley. Texns.
A statement from Thomas Gnhan , national
comtnlttceman for Illinois , cannot bo ob
tained because ho Is not In tlio city and
cannot bo reached by telegraph. His atti
tude Is , however , pretty well known. The
oommttteemcn who say free silver must
have first place In the platform , although
generously combined 'With the questions of
trusts , militarism , and BO on , arc In Colorado
rado , Kansas , Nebraska , Arkansas and In
dian territory , which latter does not vote
for president.
All the others cither put the trust question
first or lay much stress upon Issues pro
duced by the Spanish war.
OMAHANS IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES , June 10. ( Correspondence
ot The Bee. ) It Is very nattering to the
pride ot an Omahan to learn how many
former residents of the "Gate City" are
here , what share they have had In aiding
the wonderful growth of this beautiful city
and the prosperous circumstances In which
they arc spending the sunset of life. They
are enjoying a veritable golden eunset In
this land of fruit and flowers.
My inducement to go to Pasadena was to
visit the ostrich farm , but here I found
John W. Hugus , our former banker , post
trader nnd money maker generally. His
home Is a princely place , surrounded , as
are all the houses here , by palms and roses
and geraniums and other brilliant and
fragrant flowers. He is Interested In banks
and other paying enterprises and Is reputed
to be .worth about $160,000. As a public
spirited man , ho gained enviable notoriety
iMt , year .by . making a. largo donation In
aid of tha Mechanical college at Pasadena.
Those who pass the residence of ex-Sena
tor Saundcrs , on Sherman avenue , with Its
spacious lawns , fine shrubs , greenhouses and
flower * will hardly believe that E. V. Smith ,
Its former owner , has a lovelier place In this
elty , 'but ' he has. There Is something so
rich in the form and cblorlng of the semitropical -
tropical slants and flowers of this climate
that our .productions , In the line of orna
mentation , seem by comparison stunted ,
mean and poor. In little forest of tree
and flower splendor , the former owner of
the cracker factory on Harney street IB
passing his days In peace.
T. W. T. Richards , once known In Omaha
as Captain Richards , owns a nice house In
Los Angeles , and Is engaged In the real
estate and loan business.
Horace Jones exchanged a home In Shinn's
addition for a pretty place here. Ho is In
the grocery business and doing well.
Mr. VIsscher , who built n block In Omaha
where the Mlllard hotel now stands , was
till lately a familiar object on the streets
of this city of the Queen of the Angels.
Short of stature , round as a top In figure
and walking with short , quick steps , he at
tracted notice on his froquqcnt visits. He
seldom leaves his pleasant surroundings In
Pasadena now , and is quietly awaiting his
summons to join the Innumerable caravan.
Drlsccll , one of our architects In the olden
time , nnd whoso life amongst us had more
of shadow than sunshine In It , married
again , securing a very estimable woman , and
Is living not far from this place In the quiet
enjoyment of life.
Mrs. Crulckdbank , whowlll bo remembered
as one of our most excellent women nnd
wife of a prominent dry goods merchant , Is
still living , In a dignified and respected re
tirement , surrounded by all that ample
means can secure.
M. G. McKoon Is here nnd , in his own
language , Is the same old steadygolng fel
low he always was. In appearance he has
not changed greatly. Increasing years have
robbed him of some activity , but ho Is
healthy , strong and ns full of business as
ever , When In Omaha his wife was rather
slender and delicate ; she Is now quite
stout , comely as ever and fully sustains her
old reputation as an active Christian worker.
She Is doing good missionary work on behalf -
half of the Methodist Episcopal church.
The homo of this well remembered couple
Is a bower , surrounded with roses , fuchsias ,
heliotrope and clematis , all of treelike dt-
. menilons , which throw their beauty with
prodigal display over porches and roofs. Mr.
McKoon ranks amongst the men who are
well off and Is respected for his Integrity
and staunch republicanism.
Mr. Lannlng , once known In Omaha as n
carpenter and builder , and who erected the
house of Senator J. M. Thurston , still fol
lows that business and Is doing hla share
toward the welfare of his present place of
residence and enjoys n competency.

i to the Pacific coast. There Is a romantlo
I ' but nart finale to his history. It secmu
that , when dying , his wlfo prevailed upon
him to promise to marry her sister , a widow.
The woman proved willing and Chubb fill-
filled his promise to his dead wife and made
two families one. After removing to LOH
Angeles , death broke up the arrangement
and every one of them occupies a grave.
Other old-time associates and friends are
to be found here and there In this part
of "the beautiful land. " engaged in fruit
rAltlng and farming. Some during the boom
loaded themselves down with property too
far out and have had a hard time pulling
through , but none went under , and as price *
are again advancing they believe their hopes i
will all be realized. It Is gratifying to
know that a strong bond of union exlrts '
amongst them and without being clannish
to an obnoxious degree , they hold together
socially and act to a great extent together
In public affairs Still more gratifying li
It to know that their reputation for In- I
and enterprise stands high-in busi
ness circles. That a man Is from O.imhn Is

It Is to be regretted that so many have re
moved their Interests from the scene of
their early labors and trials , they are en
titled to grateful remembrance for the
credit they reflect upon Omaha nnd best

prosperity. JAMES MORRIS.

trouble U threatened between the local gen
cral committee In charge ot the Interim
tlonal Epworth Icaguo convention that Is
to meet In this city In n few weeks am
the stale olllclals and custodian ot the state
capltol. It Is estimated that more thai
60,000 pcoplo will attend the conventloi
from the United States. The local commit
tee went before the legislature and nccurci
permission to stretch n tent In the cnplto
grounds largo enough to accommodate 7,001
or 8,000 people , In which to hold meetings.
The other day Custodian Vest of the capl
tel stated ho had taken measurements o
the grounds and 'would not permit the ten
to be pitched there , as It would ruin the
grounds nnd shade trees. Chairman Lasbj
of the committee took umbrage at this
declaring that the legislature had given the
committee * authority to use the grounds nm
that the state officials were acting In bai
faith. He announced that the tent would
bo pitched as at llrat contemplated. To
night Custodian Vest said that If an nt-
tempt was made to pitch the tent the work
men would bo arrested , ns he would pro
tect the state house grounds at all hazards
The upshot of the light came this even
Ing In the call for a conference tomorrow
at the Commercial club of the parties In
terested. Chairman Lasby tonight s-ild that
unless the committee were guaranteed a
desirable site for the tent the Epworth
league convention would be called off am
sent to some other city.
At this ttmo both sides seem determine !
not to glvo In , but n compromise may be
reached tomorrow.

TUOIII3Y CAR
A PhllOHonlilcal Dlxnertntlnii on the
Imiiortnut Qncatlon.
Wo are sorry to observe , says the Uoston
Journal , a recrudescence of the attempt by
some pugnacious souls to establish a popular
crusade against those mostly Innocent men
and women who decline to budge once they
have arranged themselves'comfortably at the
end of the long sent .In the open cars.
The scat at cither end.of . the bench , or
slip , or pew , or whatever It may be , Is un
deniably the most popular In the open car.
It offers freedom on one side from neigh
borly encroacbmcntB , and It affords an un
obstructed view of at least ono side of the
passing landscape or seascape. The first
comer almost Invariably regards this scat
as a legitimate prize. Should It be given
up In any circumstances ? The antagonists
of the "end hog" says that It should bo re
linquished promptly , willingly , Invariably ,
In all circumstances ; that the end passenger
should move In and hereby abandon the
extra enjoyment In which ho had been In
nocently or deliberately Indulging.
Doubtless , on the other hand , If the whole
truth were told , the "end hog , " If equally
obstinate and independent , would claim that
no circumstances enforce any such abandon
ment. Therefore , there are two arbitrary
extremes , neither of which , It eecms to us , Is
justifiable or approvable. "Circumstances
niter cases , " says the maxlmlst. There arc
conditions In which a request that the "end
hog" yield his favorite seat would be highly
unreasonable , and there arc also conditions
in which no " < nd hog" witli a grain of respect -
spect for venerable ago or physical help
lessness would hesltato for a second to retire -
tire Inwardly.
Do as you would have others do to you.
That Is a eafo rule to observe In doubtful1
situations. There Is a happy medium even
to the grave question In point , and wo think
that , under a ( lag of truce , both the "end
bog" and their bitter enemies can flnd It.
