Young Heiress Who Married a
Brakeman Says She Would
Rather Surrender Her For
tune Than-Lose Her
Husband.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Mattoon. 111., Aug. 2S. The elopement of
Verne Hlnkle and 16-year-old May Be Wcin
to Indianapolis, and their marriage despite
several failures, mill agitate this city and
the excitement has not abated, as the moth
er of the girl-bride, Mrs. Harry Ryan, not
only refuses to forgive the elopers, but has
announced her Intention to prosecute the
persons who abetted the match by making
affidavits to the County Clerk at Indianapo
lis as to the age of the bride.
Mrs. Ryan says that had it not been for
such aid the license would have been re
fused and tho marriage could not have fall
en place. Mrs. Ryan Is still in an unrelent
ing: mood, and until the home atmosphere
clears perceptibly the elopers will remain
In Indianapolis.
Hlnkle Is a handsome Big Four brake
man, with a run on the Knickerbocker Ex
press. He is 22 years old. He met Miss Do
Weln while she traveled to and from St.
Mary's. Ind.. where she was being educated
at tho Convent of St. Mary's of the Woods.
The debonnalr brakeman appealed to the
romantic girl by his grace of movement,
courteous ways and evidences of superior
breeding. From merely handing her In and
out of trains he grew bolder and ventured
to address her, and the advances, coyly
met at first, were allowed with pleasure as
the acquaintanceship grew older, and final
ly Hlnkle was granted permission to corre
spond with her. Love found a way to over
come all obstacles and they- were married.
WU TO REMAIN
THREE YEARS MORE?
Dispatch From Victoria Savs Vice
roy Kai Memorialized Throne
in Minister's Behalf.
Victoria. British Columbia. Aug. 28. It Is
said that the order to Wu Ting-fang to
remain at Washington was Issued at the
suggestion of Viceroy Yuan Shlh Kal, who
memorialized the throne, saying that since
the appointment of Wu Ting-fang to the
ministry he had done things to the great
benefit of China; that In his opinion no
other official was better qualified for the
post, and that, therefore, ho strongly
recommended that Wu be given another
term of ministry.
IVASIIIXGTOX XOT ADVISED.
Washington, Aug. 28. The inference to
be drawn from a reference to Minister Wu
Ting-fang In a Victoria dispatch that his
term at Washington has been extended for
another three years cannot be explained
by the officials of the Chinese Legation
here.
Tho last Information which the Mlnl3t?r
has received was n communication from
Pekln Indefinitely postponing his departure
from Washington.
Mr. Wu's successor, Lling Cheng, who is
with the special coronation mission headsd
by Prince Chun, is about due In China, and
It Is stated by the Chinese officials here that
he expects to return to take up his new du
ties In Washington next spring. In that
caso Minister Wu will not leave Washing
ton un'til April or May next.
The usual term of a Chinese Minister at
one post is three years, and, by May 1 next.
Minister Wu will have completed six years
of servlco at Washington. However. It Is
stated here that, after a three years' term
at one post, no limit is fixed to a further
stay.
CANNOT GET ENOUGH OIL.
Beaumont Is Unable to Supply the
Demand.
REPUBUC SPECIAL.
Houston. Tex., Aug. 28. From all parts of
the country, Texas Included, complaints are
being made of the nondelivery of fuel oil
from Beaumont. Many firms and enter
prises have made costly changes in equip
ment In order to use oil for fuel, and now
find that they cannot get the petroleum
with the regularity required to Its econom
ical use.
The Texans are the greatest sufferers, but
the people of New Orleans and Mississippi
points are the loudest In complaining. The
oil men assert that the railroads are re
sponsible, while the roads say that there Is
a disposition on the part of oil men to
dodge contracts, and that the supply is not
sufficient to fill the demand.
The oil yield has been unequal to the de
mand, which grows constantly since gushers
stooped. Work of Installing cnmninu- ma
chinery was necessarily slow, and until
pumps could be put in place many wells
were not yielding at all. A shortage In
cars has also caused trouble In meeting
the demand. The pumps are going in rap
idly and the yield now is increasing.
To-day's report of shipments shows a to
tal for the mentb. In spite of handicaps, of
L0S7,SS.j barrels, a greater number of bar
rels than for any previous full month ex
cept June. There Is no sign of diminution
of the supply of oil.
Delnj-ed IVeddlnc Supper.
Mr. and Mrs. John L. Spincer gave a.
wedding supper last night at No. 4(8 Mor
gan street that had been planned two
weeks ago when they were married, but

two friends of Mr. Spencer, who tried to
prevent the marriage. Mrs. Spencer was

SERGEANT MEYERS AS CRITiC.
Painting Is Declared a Work of
Art by the Officer, a Former
Sign Painter. Font to In
vestigate Complaint.
The Police Department has been ca'led
upon to act as censor in a oontroversj .
which, as it hinges upon a cjupstion involv
ing the c.moiis of art. may yet be taken Into
the courts for final decision.
Mrs. J. W. Alexander conducts a rcomirg
house at No. 1121 AV.-.shington avenue. The
premises directly west Z her at No. H20
are occupied by the Scott & Wolf Taint
ing Company. The building u"cutie! by
the painting company is Hush ith the
building line, and the house ocup'ed by
Mrs. Alexander and her 'oomTs 5ts back
about twenty feet from the building line.
When the painters moved into the building
about a month ago they lost no time in ad
vertising to the community, through the
medium of their own handiwork, the fact of
their presence and the nature of their
business.
The spacious dr.id wall of the building
extending from Mrs. Alexander's front door
to the gate offered unexceptional advant
ages for decorative advertising purposes,
and they immediately proceeded to embel
lish It according to their ideas of decorative
and advertising art.

Vpon the center of the dead wall they

finishing touch and additional attraction
the artists painted two figures of heroic
size, one at each side of the sign, form
ing a framework for the whole. The fig
ures were destitute of clothing.
Mrs. Alexander entered a dignified protest
when she sw the work in progress. She

to their humiliation, passers-by. observing
the picture, made coarse and Insulting re
marks to the young ttomen In alluding to
the ticn.
The boarders complained so frequently
of this that Mrs. Alexander asked the
painters to obliterate the objectionable fig
ures, or at least to modify some of the fea-ture-5
of the picture Mrs. Alexander says
they told her flippantly that when cold
weather came they would paint a wrap or
ttto around them to keep them from catch
ing cold.
PROTntiTS TO IMCTL'KK
OX ;itOL.M)S OF DKCU.tCV.
In thls extremity Mr?. Alexander com
plained to Chief of Police Kiely of the
sign, declaring it was indecent. The Chief
asked Captain Reynolds to Investigate the
matter and make a leport. Captain Rey
nolds assigned Sergeant Meyers to make a
personal Inspection of the offending sign.
Sergeant Henry Meyers was once a sign
painter himself, and ttas. therefore, be
lieved a competent critic. He viewed the
sign from every angle of observation, and
then asked the painters tthat the figures
were suppled to represent. The painters
told him that the figures were a reproduc
tion of two of the figures In one of the
mast celebrated works of a French artist
of rcnottn. and they considered their ef
fusion a work of art.
Sergeant Meyers took the same view of
the matter. He saw Mrs. Alexander and
told her that there could be no real objec
tion to the picture, since It was a reproduc
tion of a work of art. and. therefore, and
In reality, a work of art in itself. The
Iilshet critics and the courts, he said, had
held that there was nothing indecent in ex-
nosing to view a work of art. even If It
dealt with the female form divine and
nude. With thH judgment and ultimatum
Strgeant Meyers reported to Captain Rey
nolds that there was no ground for tho
complaint against the painters.
Mrs. Alexander, however, is not satisfied
with the opinion of Censor Meyers, who. sho
bellcvt-s, may havo had his Judgment
warped by the fact of his having been at
one time in the sign-palntlng business, ir
she does not obtain relief within a few days
rhe threatens to take the matter Into the
courts for a Judicial opinion as to what
constitutes indecency In a picture publicly
displayed.
PROOf.CED WORK OF ART
DY SEROKAXT MttYERS.
"If the picture was smaller and on can
vas I would be willing to hang it In my
parlor." said Sergeant Meyers last night.
"Why. it Is a regular work of art."
He described the picture as being that of
two figures In the nude with uplifted arms,
their bodies hein:r craccfully poised, while
immediately beneath them Is a body of lim
pid water.
"Of course." explained the Sjrgeant. "the
picture Is painted on a brick wall, and is
not as finished as one would expect to find
on canvas, but the figures themselves are
artistic in contour and conception, and not
the kind that would shock the sensibilities
of the most refined art critic"

dlminlshes the realization of that essential under
lvlng brotherhood which ought to be deep In the
heart of eterv American.
Locklnc Into the ml3ts of the. future we see
dark problems looming ud before us. We can
solte thtse problems aright only if we keep
constantly in mind that each must work for all
and all for each In other words, we need to
feel In cur being tho sense of brotherhood.
We have Just brought to a conclusion a war
In the Tar East a war which sprang up as a
sequel to our short struggle with Spain The
army which ha done Its work so well in the
Philippine Islands has had a task which was
small. Indeed, compired with yours, but which
netertheless, was fraught with hardship and
difficulty pecullarlj- Its own.
The men who. after three years of painful,
harrassing. Incredlblj- laborious warfare in the
tropical Jungles against a treacherous and savage
foe. hate finally broueht peace end order and
rlvii gotemment In the Philippines, are your
son", jour successors Thej- claim a share In
jour glorj by inheritance, and bj- their valor
and their steadfast endurance havo added new
lustre to that glorj".
They hate been cruellt maligned, even by
EOme who should have known better. In an
army (In the best armvl and esDeclallv In an
I array doing its work under such well-nigh in-
toierame conditions as those which confronted
our troops In the I'mlloplnes. there are bound
to he Instance" of occasional wrong-doing.
Temptation to Take Vengeance.
The temptation to retaliate for the fearful
cruelties of a savage fee Is very great, and now
and then It has been tielded to. There hate been
a few, and onlj- a few, such instances In the
.Philippines, and punishment has been meted out
with unflinching justice to the offenders.
nut the real manei Is that under such condl
tlcns there should hate been so little wrong
doing As time goes bj- and we get our srnse
of the proper proportion of things, these In
stances will be forgotten, but there will remain
for all time new pages on the honor roll of our
hlstorj-. because cf what has been done for the
nation In the Philippines.
Our officers and men on the march and in bat
tle showed themseltes net unworthy of you. the
men of th great war. They have added to the
memories of which Americans are proud, and
by their labor thej- hate bro-'ght the peaceful
light of civilization Into one le world's dark
places.
We feel that we have a i to demand the
support cf all good citizens for he army in ths
ITiillppines. becaubo of n hat It has done, .nd
we ask it also for the civil officers of the Gov
Vrnment. who. with faithful toll and wisdom,
are building a structure cf orderly liberty on
the ground made readj- for them by the soldierlj
courage of the troops wearing the American
uniform.
A great crush occurred at Concord as tho
train was pulling out and for a time It was
f fared people would be hurt. The President
said:
Easy Thlnrr Xot Worth Doinc.
In this life, as a rule, the Job that 1 easy to do
is not terj- wtll wcrth doing.
Now let each man here look back In Us life
and think what it is that he is proud of what
part of It he Is glad to hand as a memorj" to his
bons and daughters
Is It his hours of ease? Not a bit It Is th
memory of his success, of his tr.umph and the
triumph and the success could enly come throush
effort
Who are the herees cf this nation? Who are
the two men that jou think of at once? Washing
ton and Lincoln. And why? Did either lead a
life of ease?
Because each one of them all his days worker!
for himself and worked for others; because one
faced death on a score of stricken fields, and
one met It at the hands of an assassin for the
countrj ' pake.
They are the men whom America delights to
honcr thej and those like them. There has
neter yet been a man in our history who led a
life of ease whose name Is worth remembering.
Now. understand me. Take holidays. I believe

Heroic nnd Commonplace Virtue.
The heroic t!me3 In this country came when It
had great work to do. and. Instead of flinchtrur
from the work, did It. And It did that heroic
woik partly becau-e. in addition to the heroic
irtue which can be ured but once in a genera
tion, it had thcye commonplace, humirum. every
day lrtuea which stay with U3 jear In and 3 ear
out.
There Is need to do the ordinary, commcnplac
duties as they arbr, or we will be In no shape
to met the crisis that calls for heroism xvhen
that crlsl arie.
It U. in the lonp run. the mm who count.
Jut exactly as In war. though you have pot to

In peace the best constitution, the best lepisli

About all we he a rleht to expct from th
Government I that it will see that th cards
are not stacked, and If It sees to that, then we
will abide by the deal.
Now. that Is the snlrlt In which to arprocch
the problems caused bv the enormou increae
In our Industrial prosperity by the irrcwlnj com
plexity of our Industrial s stern.
We us the word trust rather loowlr to In
dicate sometime large corporations. In which
ther ! an element of monopoly; sometimes all
large corporations, especially If they do an In
terstate business.
Now. It I not necessary to say that the
farmer Is benefited bv the success of the man

center must. In the ,ast resort, depend upon
the welfare of the countrv for Its succs?. Wo

us are roing to feel them somewhat. If bad

others, we will all of u suffer somewhat-
Now th great problem that we should set be
fore us la to keep prosperity, to render It ad
vantage less unequal. tr try to secure a greater
equality of Its benefits, but above all never under
