Tho caso of Mrs. Charles Ewald of B13 Cora
nitnlpuvr avenue, Jersey City, has caused a lot
of gossip anionic tlio parishioners of 8t, Pot
rlcli'a Roman Cnthollo Churcli. As told la
Teh: SVN on Sunday, Mrs. Ewald, who was. a
Catholic was married to a Protestant, and
-flion slio bcramo lck about ton days ago tho
Rev. Father Kelly nnd another priest attached
to St! Patrick's Church wero 'asked to adminis
ter tho last rites to lior. Tho request was
piarlo by Mrs. Kw aid's uncle, John Conwnv,
-(hi) Is a" executor of an estate to which Mrs.
En-nlil fall- heir. Tho Conwnys brought Mrs.
Ewald un In their homo after hor father,
Jllchael Conway, died and left hor 93,000. Sho
about to come into possession of the estnto.
When tho priest visited her house last week
he husband urdered thorn out, and sent hack
tho candles and holy wator which they had
brought, lior aunt and undo bollovcd that sho
-us d) Ing and wanted to seo her die a Catholic,
-kill' lur husband was opposed to this.
Yesterday people living in tho upper part of
Ji'rtey City discussed tho caso In all Its dotalls.
What Focinod to Interest them most was tho
fact tint Instead of growing worso Mrs. Kwald's
condition Improved so much that she was ablo
to wake a statement of tho facts over her own
name. .She tent alotter.to tho nowspapcra In
which tho said:
"I was taken 111 with nervous prostration,
and not with hcart-'troublc. as the newspapers
lave stutod. It is true that I was married by
s Protestant minister, hut I think that when It
conies to u w Ife leaving hor husband It Is a
very bard thing to do on account of rollgton,
specially if thoy aro living very happy to
gether. As for my husband having his oyo on
tho fi.000 inheritance, thut Is not true. When
he married me he did not know that I bad as
much as 5,000 cents, and furthermore, hs did
not make any Inquiries In that direction.
Whea 1 became 111 tho doctor's orders to my
hiubind wero that I should bo kept perfectly
Quiet and not to allow ma to bo botherod by
any ono, priest or minister, for If I had another
rcisrso it would not be so easy for me to get
over it lly publishing this In your paper you
Kill oblige Mhb. CUAKLKS EWALD.
The lior. Fathor Carroll, pastor of at. Pat
rick's Church, said yesterday : "lam glad that
the scandal has lonio out, because it will serve
ss a warning to other Catholics. This Is
s very fad atlalr, and 1 feel for Mrs. Kwald's
Em I should say. Miss Conway's soul. I call
,er Miss Conway, because the Church does not
recognize tier marriage to a divorced man. This
young woman lias been the causa of much
fniicty to tl.o priests of this church. The late
ther llcnnesey had trouble with her, and
about a year ago my attention was called to
jar case It was public rumor In this neighbor
hood at that time that she was to marry
Ewald. She was a Sunday school teacher in
our church. Policemen gossiped about tho
matter, and so did the neighbors, until tho coso
leackod my cars. When I heard of It I sent for
the young woman. I asked her if It was true
that she was going to marry Ewald. She ad
mitted that sho was, whereupon I told her ot
tfce danger of her action from a, Catholic paint
ot view, and warned her agnlnst a continuance
cf her friendship with tno man. Sho did not
leed tho warning, tso I dismissed her from tho
jjumlay school, but tho saddestlport of the affair
li that she attended church and confession,
and received holy communion shortly before
lie was married. 1 believe she did this the
ttry samo day she went to a Protestant minis
ter and was married to Ewald. Under these
circumstances accepting holy communion was
a sacrilege By her union with a divorced man
the excommunicated herself from tho Catholic
Church. Hearing that she had gone so far as
to announco that she had been marriod by a
priest attached to this church, the Itev. Father
Eheehan, I telt It my duty to deny the state
ment, and In May last at tbo instruction during
a sermon;on mlsmarrlngea I did so. Regarding
the talk concerning tho priests' visit to her
house iast week when she was said to bo dying,
1 have tnls to say. Word reached tho rectory on
Thursday that she desired to seo a priest.
Fathor Kelly went to tho house. Doing famil
lir with all tho circumstances surrounding her
put, sho was told that she would have to ro-
KnU and that the priest could not administer
i last rites of the Church to her until lie first
consulted Illshop Wigper. She agreed to abido
by the decision of tho Bishop.
"Father Kelly called upon tho IllshoD, who
consented to her receiving tho last ritos of the
Church upon two conditions. One of these was
that she should make reparation for her Bin.
The other, that, in the event of her recovering
sho should leave Mr. Ewald. On Friday night
Father Kelly again visited her. Ho did not
bring nny candles or holy water. Hut they
were there. If Mr. Ewald objected to his
wife seeing the priest it Is not likely that he
would permit her to keep these In her house.
Probably they were brought there by her uncle
or ber aunt. When Father Kelly got to the
house he found Mr. Ewald In the room with his
lick wife. In crder that the young woman
might not be influenced in replying to the ques
tions that Father Kelly was required to put to
her, tho priest requested hor busband to step
lntc an adjoining room. Mr. Ewald refused
to do so. The young woman said 'Charley,
please 3-0 out,' and he walked to the doorway.
Father Kelly then turned to tho sick woman,
laying, 'In case you got better will you leave
this man!' to which sho replied 'No.' Father
Kelly then said, Thcro Is nothing further for
me to do,' and he loft the house He was not
ordered out, nor was be put out, and If the un
fortunate woman should ugaln call for a priest,
fifty Mr.! Ewalds would not koep ono out of the
house. In such coses tho person sending for a
Iriest Is protected by oar laws. The Driest Is
also protected."
Continuing, Father Carroll spoke of tho laws
of tho Catholic Church regarding divorce. He
isid that in tho eyes of the Church the bonds
of matrimony could bo sovercd only by death,
and consequently tho Ewald ceremony was not
considered a valid raarrlogo as far as the
Chu-ch was concerned. He said that during
tho late war many husbands left their wives to
enter tho conflict and did nonreturn, but their
deaths nut being recorded, their wives were
hot permitted to mnrry again under tho laws
ft the Catholic Church. Only where a hus
band's death was proven did the Church recog
nize tho wifo ns a widow.
Mrs. Ewald has fully recovered from her late
Illness, ami one of her neighbors said last night
that she would bo ablo to bo out in a day or
two. The reason that the case has attracted so
much attention and caused to much gossip
is that the young woman was considered one
or tho most fervent members of St. Patrick's
Church.

Trial PsitBoneO t'ntll To-Msrrow necansa
the Illnen or Juror ranter,
CntOAOo, Bept, 13, Adolph Luetgert and
his counsel entered the' courtroom this morning
with a'pleased oxpresslon;on thotr faces. Tho re
ports made by tho chemical and medical exports
on the results of their Saturday night experi
ment ot boiling another body In tho samo man
ner aa It has beon charged that tho sausage
maker did that ot his wtfo wero apparently
satisfactory.
"I learn that the counsel for tho State, or at
least aomo one connected with the prosecution,
has started tho story that tho experiment con
ducted at the factory Saturday night harmed
our caso." said Attorney Phalen. "Well, lot
them talk. Ho who laugbs last laughs host,
you know.
"The fact Is, some very valuable Information
and evldenco for tho defenco wcro obtained.
Wo demonstrated that the sesamoid bones ot
tho human body wcro easily destroyed by tlio
caustlo solution. Tho phalanges wore also de
stroyed, though tho larger bones of tho fcot re
mained." The cross-examination of Prof, Bailey, the
expert from tho Field Columbian Muioum,
was taken up by Attornoy Vlncont. Before
going on the stand for cross-examination ho had
said that he knew not only tho sesamoid bono
was from a human body, but that It was from
a foot cramped by tight shnen, and It Is known
that Mrs. Luetgert had a weakness for tight
shoes. In his replies to Mr. Vincent's ques
tions he admitted that hn could not have iden
tified thehesamold bono nxcept' in conjunction
wlthMdio metatarsal bono found with It. Tho
sesamoids ot a dog closoly rcseuiblo thoso of a
human being, tho witness snld. Ho also said
ho had discovered six sosamotds In a human
hand, although the authorities knew ot only
two. He had kept this discovery a secret for
private reasons.
Attorney Vincent seemed to reallre that un
less ho'could shake tlio testimony thus far In
troduced tho Stato could lay claim to having
established a corpus dollctt. Ho attacked tho
witness from every npparoutly vulnerable
point and questioned him for more than two
hours without shaking tho strength of Ills as
sertion that tho bones he hod examined wore
human. Ho questioned the expert on his ex
perience, training, and knowlcdgo sf his sci
ence, going so far Into abstruse subjects that
Judgo Tuthill had occasion to call n halt.
"You can't oxpoct him to toll nil about the
derivation of words," snld his Honor. "You
uso evoryday terms In the legnl profession of
which you do not know tho derivation."
After tho noon recess Judgo Tuthill said that
ho regretted to announco tho serious Illness of
Juror Fowlor, who was taken ill on Saturdny
evening, but was supposed to have iiulto re
covered. Tho juror, tlio court said, had suf
fered a relapso and his temperature during the
recess of court had gono to 10H. Thocaowns
deemed critical, and ho felt It advNnblo to ad-
Jnurn court until Wcdnosdnv mornlnir, when, if
uror Fowler is able, proceedings will bo resumed.
A TAJtUEtt'B WIFE HUIlDEIlEIi.
Suspicion Directed Toward llrr Mute Ntcpson,
Uer llutband, mud Ills Demented Sliter.
Oouveiikkch, N. Y Sept. 13. A mysterious
murder has just come to light ncr the town ot
Helena. On n farm near Helona, Just hack from
the Maple llldgo highway, resides Pardon Bell.
Tho family consisted ot Bell nnd his wife; Win
frod Bell, a son by a previous marriage, who Is
adeaf-muto; two younger children, and a half
demented sister ot Boll. On Labor Day Bell drovo
away in his wagon, nnd later the younger
children went berrying. The mute, Wlnfred.
who is 22 years old, went down tho road toward
the west, and was followed a short tlmo after
ward by his stepmother. Tho nearest neighbor,
Joseph Gray. Uvea a quarter of a mile away, and
between the farms and In front of them aro
stone walls. Cray's orchard Is on tho loft of the
Junction formed by the walls. When Mrs. Bell
was last seen alive sho was noar this orchard.
She did not return to her homo that night or on
the following day and a search was inrtltuted.
It was by no means thorough and resulted in
nothing.
As Bell and his brother-in-law wero driving
by the orchard on Friday night last they noticed
a peculiar odor. Investigation rov- nlcd the fact
that It camo from the putrlfled body of tbo miss
ing woman. Tho body lay near the junction of
tho walls, the head toward tho highway. The
limbs were rigid and closcli locked together.
On the head was a stone weighing fifty pounds,
so carefully placed that the faco was uninjured.
Other and smaller stonos were placed about the
bnad. Tho throat plainly showed signs of stran
gulation. Coroner Smith and District Attorney Hale of
Canton wero at the sceno of tho murder to-dny
Investigating the case. They are all at sea, ns
there nre few clues to work on. The mute step
son, Wlnfred Bell, was arrested in Mnlone. at
the Northern Now York Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb, to which he had returned last week
Tuesday. Tho only thing against htm is the
finding ot a watch, which was worn by the mur
dered woman, in his possession. Other theories
Implicate the husband or the demented sister,
while many believe tho murder to hato been
the work of tramps, after an attempt at nssault
or robbery. Mrs. Bell was much younger thnn
her husband and did not live hauptly with him.
She had much trouble with tho steDSon and tho
demented sister-in-law.

New Rochelle, N, Y., Sept. 13. The catboat
Edwlna, owned by J. Nelson Gould, has been
stolen from her moorings in front of the Hugue
not Yacht Club house. Neither tho janitor at
the clubhouse nor Mr. Gould knows when tho
Edwlna was taken. SInco yesterday Mr. Gould
has Inquired at Oicn Island. Fort Slocum, and
of all the boatmen In Now Ilochcllo, but has
been unable to learn anything of her where
abouts. Tho Captain of the Government tug
Hamilton and Charles Webber say they saw tho
Edwlna off Huckleberry Island on last Thurs
day with two men aboard. The Janitor Is pos
itive tho boat was at her moorings on Saturday.
The Edwlna is one of tho fastest cntboats along
the Sound. Last year sho won a majority of tho
races In hor class. She is valued at $-100. Tho
name of D. D. Campbell, Port Jefferson, L. I.. Is
burned into a beam under the deck. Mr. Gould
thinks his boat was towed away with a naphtha
launch, because tho tiller Is still in tho club

Hundred Times Her Paris Salary Has a Dog
Mile. Cleo do Merodo ot tho ballet reached
New York yostordny morning on tho Spree.
She has left tho back row of tho Opera aO'arls
at $40 a month to stand on her toes In the
middle of Kostcr & Rial's singe at n prlro largo
enough to consolo her. In Paris thoro wore
visiting royaltlos to look out (or her Inndeatix
and applaud hor gruclously. Thcro Is none of
them hero, and thcro had to bo something In
U10 salary to tnako up for such a deficiency In
a ballerina's life. So Mile do Merodo comos
to New York for about ono month to mako as
much as It would havo takon throe yours to earn
In Paris.
She was dlvulgod In tho root gnrdon of
Kostcr & Rial's yestcrdny afternoon. Sho
U stondor and youthful. Thcro wore no
shaded lights about lior. Tho aftcrpoon
glare was mitigated by nothing but tho olouda.
Sho wore no veil nnd licr color camo and went
in a way that no export In inako-up has over
been nblo to reproduce Hor eyebrows, arched
and black, wcro Indeed stationary, although
thcro wcroyndlcntlons that they might not al
ways bo just ns marked. Her lips wero rod
with something thut novor camo out of a box
or a bottle, nnd her bluo eyes wore bright
CIco is serious. Sho novor said that sho
loved America or that Now York was tho most
beautiful city sho had ever seen. No such
superficial observations eicapod hor. Sho was
Interested In dcoper questions of our Institu
tions. Sho wanted to learn about tho Govern
ment. And where Is tho King!" was the first
thing sho asked.
8oniobody told her that we had no King
that like her own country wo had only a lrcsi
dent. Sho bhruggod her thoulders and looked
for a moment as thougli slio rogrctteu wiving
accoptod llvo hundred times as much as sho
had over before bcon paid to d.mco.
"But it's so large, your country," sho said in
French, "there must bo a King soiuonhcrc.
Are theru no countries near your own that havo
Klngs-roiuethtng beildes only Presidents!"
Mile, do Merodo had lior llrst loseon In our
administrative nlTolrs when slio was told that
wo have no kings of any kind, barring thoso
that never count much unless from two to four
of them happen to be together, r'ho looked ro-
Sroachfully at her inannger and refused to no
ee a suggestion to tho etlect that wo bad many
millionaires. Sho was lntcrostod moro lu our
Government. , . .,
Tho Paris newspapers say that Mllo. uo
Merodo has come to Now York to danco becauso
a young girl Is bettor paid for hor art hero than
she is abroad. Sho brought a mother along
with her, but Madame nut do Morode, for that
is only tho dancer's family name, not her
mother's strut od behind to unpnek the trunks
while Mile. Cleo receUed tbo reporters. It
looked as though Madamo had nut got far
down Into tho contents of tho trunks before It
was time for Mile. Clro to keen hor engagement.
Sho Is tho tlrst visiting rclebrlty that ever
looked positively nhnbt when sho was put on
view for the llrst time. He gownjwas an openwork
Hllair of colTeo-colored silk nnd linen that had
done valiant service befunv. It was trimmed
with white silk that was distressingly bedrug
pled. Hor high collar was loosely caught by
hooks and eyes that wore not on terms with
one nnother. and tho Do Merodo hat was badly
faded. It was a Panama straw that might
havncn throe months' hard service on tho
boach at Asbury Park. About it was a white
vclvirt ribbon punctured with tlio black souv
enirs of bygone hat pins. C'eo's classic plaits
looked mussy nnd her jewels suggested tho
Palais Royal. There were two or thrvo pins
perfunctorily stuck lu her niV au mil frock.
Somebody with Otero In mind asked her how
many diamonds sho had. Sho started suddenly
and repealed. "Dlamundsl"
"Yos, diamonds," said her mnnager signifi
cantly. Then I'leo looked at him gratefully
nnd rattled off a Hit of bracelets. Pins, and
necklaces.
Hut If her plaits wero n llttlo bit out of order,
her 6nnrfitx wero smoothly brushed down
over her cars, her skin was beautifully and
dellcatelv colored, and her delicate feiiture
were perfect In their regularity. Tho dltil
culty was to reconcile her talk about tho kings,
her reputation, and her opportunities with the
modest, nlmost shabby clothes sho wore. Hut
tlio. French are resourceful and maybe sho de
vised a coup that no press agent would over
have thought of. Whoever heard tioforo of n
fnvnrito of European ruynlty that wns not
resplendent at loast when tbu reporters called!
There' was n new field for Cleo, Hiid sho limy
have put on her old clothes for that reaon,
and not becnuso her mother hadn't tho tlmo to
lako tho new ones out of the trunk.
Mile, do Merodo Is o slender that thin ballet
girls may yet hao their uigur. Her figure Is
slight and glrllah. nnd beautifully propor
tioned. After u while she w willing to tell
something about tho European Governments,
when she wns sutistled that thoro really were
no klnus In New York, or for that matter any
where in reach.
"My dog's namo Is Iso. yes, and that is the
little name for Leopold, nnd tho King (if Bel

County Ornnd Jury ti lroeerd To-Morrow.
District Attornoy Olcott mads public yester
day tho full police report of the Interviews Capt.
O'Brlon, former Chief of tho Dotoctlvo Bureau,
had with Martin Thorn, af tor tho latter's arrest
on July Oon suspicion of being tbo accomplice
of Mrs.Nack In tho murder of William Gieldsen
suppo, tho Turkish bath rubber, at Wuodsslde,
L. I. Thoso interviews were bold on July 0 and
July 8. Tho reiorlB are In tho form of affi
davits by Capt. O'Brien. They show thnt Thorn
admlttod thnt ho hired the cottage at Woodsldc,
but declined to tell why. Ho also admitted driv
ing to Astoria with Mrs. Nock, and told briefly
of throe trips made to the cottage nfter ha had
hired It to see about putting down tho carpels,
w lilch ho and Mrs. Nack had bad in their npn t
ments in this city. They took the carpets over
to tho tottnga 111 a surrey, but finding them too
small for tho floors, started bark with ilium In
tho surrey. The surrey jollod so, ho said, that
the carpets were thrown out of tho surrey and
lost.
It is the theory of tho prosecution that this
statement Is an effort on Thorn's part to upset
testimony that he mid Mrs. Nnek was seen driv
ing nwuy from the cottage with parts of Glcld
sensiipne's body bound up In oilcloth.
Thorn admitted to fiipt. O'llrlou that he had

Ths Increase In tho number ot concerts to be
gtvon during ths winter by ths Phllharmonlo
Society Is probably duo to ths (act that this
organization will glvo tho only evening con
oorts to be undertaken by any of tho orchestral
so:lotlos of such ago and reputation. With all
tho symphony conoorts as afternoon enter
tainments, tho Phllharmonlo, which has large
audtonces always, should bo able to extend Us
season very ndvantngeously. Hut tho now
departure does not tncot a need popularly sup
posed to exist In Now York. Ono frequently
hears tho expression ot a wonder that Now
York supports no orchestra thai gives popular
performances torery'nlght. Good music of a
kind which would appeal to tho large public
that would bo called upon for Its support, with
other accompaniments of nn equally good char
acter, has often been demanded, but all nt
tcinpls to supply It havo been compollod to strug
gle along without any very encouraging exhibi
tions of interest from tho persons who woro
supposed to bo walling for Just this stylo of en
tertainment. Tho concert;) given on a roof
garden tills summor met with tains degree, of
support, but there were circumstances con
nected with the organization of tho orchostra
that made tho schema somewhat unsatisfac
tory, it was conducted 011 n co-oporntlvo
basis, nnd when any of the players had nn op
portunity to get a regular engagement ho re
nounced tho loss certain profits of tho roof
garden enterprise. In that way tho make-up of
tho orchestra was frequently subjected to im
portant changes, nnd the men who retired
wero in very fow cases supplanted by others.
Their places wero Blmply left vacant. But
thoro was amplo Indication that such an cntcr-
frlse with the additional voguo that camo from
wo seasons of activity would provo very
prosperous. That Is moro than nny previous
attempt to glvo popular orchestral concerts
has ever accomplished. Anton Seldl is novor
ablo to mako more than two or three weeks suo
cossful In tho early fall, and us soon 113 tbo
winter season opens nny uttompl to glvo such
concerts Is promptly nbandoned, for experi
ence has pruvod thnt whllo tho domain! Is
vigorous, tin) support Is unequal to tho main
tenance of tho enterprise.

had cxcollont training for the grave responsi

English army until a few 5 cars ago. After
having served for several years In Africa, ho
decld-.'d that tho profession of his fathers was
less suited to his tasto than tomo other might
bo. Both his fathor and his grandfather had
been officers In tho English tcrvlco, but the
present representatlvo of the family thought
thnt ho would prefer tho stage. Ills grand
father was ono of two men perbonally decorated
by Utteen Victoria for bravery ut tho battlu of
Bilaklavu. ('apt. Malone went to London,
acted for a while, but developed o much great
cr promise us a Btago manager that ho ulti
mately becumo tho valued coadjutor of tleorgo
lMwnrdes In tho production of thoso English
pleiefl. Ills duties lover a largo and varied
lleld. Ho Is n young man, only n few jran

exiles under his chtirgo extends from seeing
that tho) get to bed early to persuading them
to eat nourishing food. 'Ihe-o aro merely Inci
dentals to Mr. Malnno's moro serious duties,
which, indeed, comtirlso the entire care of tbu
productions with which he Is associated. Tho
falluro of tho members of the present compaii)

made his preieut troubles eouiowhat greater

Mrs. Antonio Tony who dlod tho other day
in Paris, Is related to tho former Miss Edith
Collins, who Is now tho wife of n Polish Count
In the Turkish diplomatic service, and is at

Ived in Paris for muny curs and was at ono

This is tho season In which most of the New
York physicians take their vac ttions, and about
three-fourths of tho best-known men In medi
cine are out of New York with no probability of
their nturn for some dns. Anybody who
doubted this would havo only to observo the
residences of some of these men. Most of them
are securely boarded up with fi.ilntod signs an
nouncing the dates of the return of tho doctors
nnd tho name of tho men who aro to look nfter
their pitlents. Any persons who camo to New
York now in search of treatment from tho emi
nent fpeclalsts would tlud their visits rather
fruitless, and to follow the doctors Into their
resting places would bo of little more avail. One
of tho best-known physicians of this city has
lately been In tho Adirondacks, and It
happened thnt an Invalid was stopping in the
hotel near bis iiittage. Ono day the sick man
grew suddenly worse, and, as his malady was of
the kind In which the New York doctor find won
his chief distinction, appeal was Immediately
nndo to lilui. Rut he llrmly declined to visit
tho patient, mid no amount nf persuasion could
Induce him to do it. So tho Invalid bud lu be
brought down to tho city for treatment. Tho
explanation made by the doctor wns that if ho
treatod one case he would bo unnblo to refuse
some of the other applications that were
often iiindo to him In tho summer and
his vacation would ho made useless to him.
This sounded plausible enough, hut au incident
that happened on the il.iy afler tho Invalid was
taken back to New ork proved that tho
famuus physician was not alwus so Inexor
able. A request enmc from ono of tho highest
officials of tlio (iiivcrnuicnt, who was stopulng
nt a hotel not a groat distance away, that the
doctor should visit tho child of his private
secretary. It was a personal request from tbo
great man. So the doctor accciloil to It im
mediately, passed n day or two at the hotel nnd
then secured another physician for the child.
In New York at thnt time It was only a week
or two ago that the Incident took place a
doctor so well known could not havo been
secured errn by thut Influential letter, nnd then
are very fow umong tbo men conspicuous In
medicine hero who would ho tempted back to
town by requests from nnyliody before the terms
of their vacations ended. Rut tho plan has Its
advantages especially to tho younger men who
hapnen to be put in charge of tho absontoo's
work.

Wasiiinoton, Sept. 13. For efficiency, equip- tjyl
mont, nnd practical knowledge of their duties, fc'jjjj
tho men of tho Now York City Naval Mllltla ffl
aro reported to havo no superiors In tho organ jliji
(rations nlong the soabonnl which wero exer $
clscd on ships of tho navy during the pint sum 9h
mcr, Tho report of tho board which Inspected fjf
tho work of tho New Yorkers finds that thoy .fa
aro n capable body, well drilled, nnd would 'J
provo a most useful adjunct to tho regular na llA
vnl servlco In tlmo of war. Tho nonra rocom 'a?3
mends that mllltla orgntilzntlonibcdrlllod hero I Tp3
after on cruisers set asldo for this purpose. Tba I S
report Is us follows: w9
"During tho wholo week that this battalion rrcljLi
was on board thn Massachusetts the men per flira9
formed their duties with Intelligence, real, and WtH
crcdllnblo spirit. They seem to bo of good I "AfJ
physique, and no sickness of nny kind occurred, I jfl
Tho uniform very closely conforms to tlio navy 9
pattern, tho whlto sweater, however, being 'jijl
worn tinder the bluo shirt. When cloan this jB
produces a natty appearance, but, being consplo-
nous, materially detracts from tlio nppearano "'O
of tho men when soiled. It Is not adapted to 5s t
uso on hoard ship. Tho uniform of tho potty , 1
olllcvrs Is nearly tho samo as the naval uniform. 1
Tlio rating badges and corps badges are tilt- h I
fercnt. In tho handling of boats undor oars nnd S!
sails tho men did remarkably well and showed -i
good training. Tho sub-calibro practtco waa J
fair, considering the number of now mon In tho '; '
battalion and the limited amount of practloo vt '
thoy had. 'I '
"Tho (signal corps of this battalion doservM rv
special commendation. They sent und received 5J
messages with rapidity and precision, and are. ''
familiar In a high degreowlth all methods ot wi
signalling. Tho signal ofllccr, I, lent. Anderson. t&
is an expert and au enthusiast, and has reached 'm'
a remarknbly high deirrco of proficiency In ths m
training of his turps, which would bo a credit to M
any ossel in commission. jft.
The target practice could only bo estimated Ml'
with the eye, as 110 shots wcro recorded or S
plotted. The smoke Interfered In a measure fj
with good practice. Taking all things Into con -M
slderntlon, tho pructho was fair, some shots be- Vi
ing remarknbly good and some going M-ry wild, fj
Thuotllcers of tbo battalion aro well posted M
professionally, und would soon become familiar $4
with the routine of nwarvussol and able to K,
carry It out. The men, notwithstanding tha VCJ
epbero from whiih they were enlisted nnd their W,
limited opportunities for adapting themselves i'l
lo ship life. Its duties nnd routine, would bo of U',1
great value to tho navy in time of war, but are ;I1I
better adapted for sen ice In harbor defence HhJ
1 cssels than for activo life on hoard a sesg ins; r.11
vessel. Mm
"The organtratlon of this battalion of ths jtjl
Kcw York militia being that of a ship's com fJM
pany. Its efllclency nnd progress In training tjj
would bo greatly advanced If It were possible to "j!
allow them tho use of a sessel of tho cruiser Ji
t)pu for their summer drill, wbon the wholo fl
battalion could bu ombarked together. If such M
a cruiser lie available, only a small part of the) ji
regular crew should bo kept on board and ths
militiamen required to perform nil duties out ij
sido ot tho engine room. Tho olllcors of il
the battalion should bo unsigned, to regular M
watches, nnd required to niunngo n ship aud Tj
carry out thurotitinuso far as safety ana rca ,l
sonatilc euro of liovernment property will allow. Ji
The regular otllccrs of the watch should only s
take charge In an emergency, nnd should act as '3ft
adi Isers and instructors, Under tho present vr
system tl.eofllecrsot tho mllltla aro too much 5
afraid nf giving trouble or Interfering with if
tho routine or upsetting somo custom to '
make the waUli duty of any gr'at 'f
value. They should bo furnished with 4
tbo routli e, and mado to carry It out. even If v
mistakes nro made. Such a cruise. If even for a S
week, would bo of far greater valuo to them ji
from a professional standpoint than double the ,
time spent under present conditions. Rattle- H
ships, with their heavy guns and hydraulic and 5
other mounts, which require exports even la S
the regular mrilrc, arc not adapted for tho du. Si
tics of themilitin. 1 hey have too little berth il
lug space nnd requlro tho battalions and divls- .ft
ions of the mllltla to bo split up and separated il
from their own olllecrs, ns was tho caso this V,
cruise of the Massachusetts. -
"Rotb the otllccrs ond men of this battalion, as 'li
wullasthoho ot tho Massachusetts militia, still ??:
speak ot tho benefit derived from a week spent '
on board the San Frnnclsco Bomo years ago. X
Such a cruiser Is ordinarily adapted for the pur ,V.
iioso of instruction. Tho naval militia should ,
Ii.ii e more torpedo work if possible. If tho de-
partment could allow them the uso of one of tha
torpedo boats for n day at a tlmo at intervals it S
would be of great benefit to them." J
The strength of tho battalion is given as 323 ft
olllecrs and men. V.

Mayer, who cttno all tho way from New York to sj
have his father, Dr. Ignatz Mayer, arrested on Kf
tho chargo of failure to support his family, will Mj
result in nothing. Half a dozen times since tha ?;!
fourteen-) ear-old boy arrived in St. Louis fj!
last wcck ho has appealed to the As J$
slstnnt Rroseeuting Attorney for a warrant M
against his father, now In this city. Each S
time bo has been told to await further Kit
investigation. This morning R. T. Rrownrigir ft'
culled at tho warrant oltlro, representing tho oc- Ki
cuscd doctor. Ho submitlod copies of a decreo -
of divorce rendered lu Guthrie, 0, 1 in which S'
the complaining wifo was defendant. Tho dl- iX
v uric was granted on the grounds of extreme M
cruelty and gross neglect of duty. The Okla- yjj
hoiua court allowed Mrs. Mayer alimony of 75 sfi
a month. Mrs. Jlsjcr's plea Is that tho doctor j0
has not paid the alimony, and on this ground a Jv,
