The PHch honse is one door east of the :

thing. The legal transfer will be completed
u itfcia a few days, and the Admiral will
add to the present furnishings of his new

.tad curiqs with which he has surrounded
himself.
The ftnal seleetkm was decided upon
after nearly sixty residences had been in
spected by the committee. The bouse is
built of brick with brown stone trimming ,
and contains seventeen rooms and tojr
bath roams. It has a frontage of twenty
beren feet and extends back seventy-two

The honse is modern in its conveniences
and was bnttt twelve years ago by James

The round of excitement through which
the Admiral has passed dming the past

he will confine himself to quiet for some

"Acting on the advice of his physician.
Admiral Dewey finds tt necessary to can

nt tne officials in charge of the govern- ;

bishop Chapel le to make an investigation .
of the existing conditions. Archbishop
Cfaanelle was closeted with the President j
for over an hour, during which time the .
matter was thoroughly and seriouslv dis-
csssed.
The Archbishop will stay in Washington
for several days before departing for Ma
nila. He does not know whether he will
eail from New York or San Francisco.
As he speaks the Spanish language fluently,
he will net encounter many obstacles after
his arrival at Manila.
An Important question which will de
velop during Archbishop Chapelle's visit
here will be the future of the Catholic
Church in Cuba. The Cubans are said to
be pressing for home rule in Church mat
ter, as well as in civil government. They
want native Cuban priests whenever it is
possible, rather than clergymen assigned tc
duty from other points. Some of the promi

a thorough casvaes of the situation is
made.

WAR BETWEEN MATCHMAKERS.
A New Corporation Kilters the Field.
AKnin.st the Diamond Company.
NEW YORK, Oct 21. What promises to
be a lively fight between concerns each
representing a large capital had its begin
ning soon after the filing today with the
secretary of state of New Jersey, at Tren
ton, of the report of the newly organized
American Match Machine Company. The
fight Is between it and the Diamond Match
Company, in which Edwin Gould is largely
interested, and which up to the present
time has enjoyed a monopoly of manufac
turing machines for the making of matches.
The American Match Machine Company
has the following organization: President,
Ferrill C. Dinniny, jr.; vice president, Wil
liam F. Hutchinson; secretary, Wallace A.
Downs, and treasurer, Charles W. Drake.
The board of directors consists of Ferrill C.
Dinniny, jr., Wallace A. Downs, Charles W.
Drake, and Frank H. Wall. The company ;
is capitalized at $100,000, but it is asserted
that there is more than $5,000,000 back ot
the company, and that many millions of
dollars more are available if tne Diamond
Match Company should decide to make a
fight against the new company.
No time Is to be lost by the new company
in entering upon active operations. On
Monday next the manufacture of machine?,
with which match factories ill be in
stalled, will commence. A large plant has
been erected at Bound Brook, N. J., with a
daily capacity of match-making machin
ery equal to S00 gross of 100 boxes. Al
ready orders have been received for ma
chinery for five factories which are to be
established in cities between New York
and Chicago. One of these cities is in
Pennsylvania and another in New Jersey.
The capacities of the different plants range
from 500 gross of 100 boxes of matches
daily up to 4,000 gross.
The American Match Manchine Company
also intends to enter tho match-making
fleid, and will establish a factory at Og
denshurg, N. Y. A large number of orders
has been placed with the new company for
machinery and also for matches. One well
known jobber, it Is said, has offered to take
four carloads of matches each week for a
nerlod of two years, and to bind his offer
by making a contract to that effect.
Hitherto all the patents for match-making
macninery in this country and several
in Germany have been held by the Diamond
Company, which thus was secure in its
monopoly.
Wallace A. Downs, the secretary of the
American Match Machine Company, was at
one time largely interested in the company,
which was absorbed by the Diamond Match
Company when Edwin Gould became con
nected with the concern. The patents for
the machines were chiefly the invention of
Colonel Downs. After he severed his con
nection with the Diamond Company Col
onel Downs set his inventive faculties at
work and evolved a machine which i3 said
to be a great improvement on his former
invention.
It is this machine that the American
Company is to manufacture. -None of the
machines are to be sold outright, but will
be operated on royalties.
AN AGED MOTHER'S PLEA.
She Seeks to Compel ITer Son 1
Help Iter.
MiLFORD. Pa., Oct. 21. At the October
term of the Pike county courts, in session
here, Mrs. Elmira Quick, seventy years
old, who is a town charge of Lackawaxen
township and who astonished people here
when she bid herself in some time ago, ap
peared as prosecutor against her son, Syl
vanus E. Quick, of Port Jervis, N. Y., on a
charge of non-support.
Feeble and bowed with her years, the old
woman took the stand. She said that her
son had entered into an agreement with
her to pay her $2.50 per month during the
remainder of her natural life, and she
showed a paper to that effect. The small
monthly stipend had been paid regularb
until August. 1S98, when payments ceased.
"I ask little of my son," said Mrs. Quick
to Judge Purdy. "I was left with a large
family of children when his father died.
I supported them by hewing fence posts,
railrdad ties, and like hard labor. My son
Is married, but has only one child. He
works on the Erie Railroad."
Attorney Marvin, in behalf of the de
fendant, said the son was willing to take
his mother to his home in Port Jervis and
provide for her, but could not possibly af
ford to pay the monthly allowance. The
court thought the defendant ought to be
willing to pay the amount asked, and con
tinued the case until December. Quick
gave bond for his appearance.
Price of Plfr Iron.
PITTSBURG. Oct. 21. Owing to a strike
among the largest foundries in this city,
the pressure for pig iron for foundry pur
poses :s relieved. These shops all requi e
a largo tonnage, making no light castings.
It will not affect prices, however, as the
metal Is in great demand In other seet.ons.
"Proof of the Wadding
Is in the Eating'
It is not ivhat we say, but iuhat Hood's

Thousands of people give the proof by
telling of remarkable cures by Hood's Sar

other blood diseases and debility.

EASTERN SHORE MONUMENT.
A IlnmlMome Confederate Shnft Tra
velled ia Virginia.
ONANCOCK, Va., Oct. 21. There was
a throng from all parts of the Eastern
Shore yesterday at the unveiling of the
Confederate monument. Confederata flags
were everywhere. A large one floated from
a pole seventy-five feet high. A battle
flag waved over the speakers' stand.
The exercises began with a prayer from
Rev. Mr. Griffith, an old soldier, after
which Beverly B. Munford, of Richmond,
delivered an oration. He revel wed the
history of Virginia from its origin up to
the close ot the Civil War. He spoke par
ticularly of the Federal Constitution, the
question of State's rights, secession, and
slavery. A dinner was served by the la
dies of Parksley, after which an appeal
was made for contributions for the monu
ment. A handsome sum was contributed.
The adjutant of Harmanson West Camp,
John H. Wise, called the incomplete roll
of the Confederate soldiers from the East
ern Shore, standing on the base of the
monument. Of this partial list of about
300 there were but few to answer to their
names. Instead there was often heard the
words, "Dead," "Killed before Peters
burg," "Killed at the Crater," and so on
until almost every battlefield was named.
After the muster of the veterans Miss
Margaret West, daughter of Gen. H. M.
West, and sister of Otho K. West, one of
the war victims for whom the camp is
named, ascended the platform and pu ling
a cord unveiled the monument amid cheers
and the boom of cannon.
The monument is of granite, of beautiful
design, and is about thirty feet in height
It is surmounted by the figure of a Con
federate infantryman of heroic size at
"parade rest." On the front is the coat-of-arms
of Virginia in bronze. On the op
posite side is a Confederate battle flag,
also in bronze. Inscriptions are upon the
four sides of the base, and are as follows:
"Erected by the Harmanson West Camp
Confederate Volunteers, in memory of
their dead comrades from Acconsae and
Northampton counties. Virginia." "They
died for the principles upon which all true
republics are founded." "They fought
for conscience sake and died for right."
"At the call of patriotism and duty they
encountered the perils of the field and
were faithful even unto death."
EOR BALTIMORE'S ZOO.
X Black Mexican AVolt Added to the
Colleetioa.
BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 21. A thorough
bred black wolf arrived in Baltimore yes
terday morning and was sent direct to
Druid Hill Park, where it now forms a
part of the rapidly increasing zoo, in
charge of Keeper Charles Morgan.
The wolf Is a native of Mexico, and his
color at present is a dark grey, but. it is
said, he will shed this coat as he grows
older, and his next suit of hair will be
black. There was no separate cage to pat
the new acquisition in. and he is housed
with the old prairie wolf, or coyote, and
the two appear to be on the most friendly
terms.
The park board is preparing to introduce
a number of other animals in a short time.
Another small brown bear has been order
ed, and it is expected a timber grey wolf
will be bought to go with the silver grey
wolf already at the zoo. When th new
bear comes there will be a serious ques
tion as to where to house him. In the
old pit there arc already three bears, while
the new pit is occupied by the cinnamon
brown bear, which killed the big black bear
some weeks ago, and has since been kept
by himself. He is still fierce, and no one
dares enter the pit except Keeper Mor
gan. It is thought that tho new bear,
being of the same species and family as the
lighter, will be safe in the pit with him.
Without exception, the entire menagerie
at the park is in fine condition, and every
animal and bird is healthy and well.
Keeper Morgan Is now busy preparing
winter quarters for them, which consist
of bedding for the bears and the lining
of the backs and sides of the cages of the
other animals.
Francis II. Waters, general superinten
dent of the parks, will recommend to the
park board the construction of a larger
animal house In Druid Hill Park and a
reorganization of the zoological depart
ment. Mr. Waters believes that one build
ing should be constructed for the animals
and another for the birds. The two build
ings,, he estimates, will not cost more
than $5,000.
A GRACIOUS ACT.
Men. Graver Cleveland Offers A.s
ni.Ntaaee In a Huminny.
TRENTON, N. J.. Oct. 21. Mrs. Grover
Cleveland last evening sought to be help
ful to three men who were mixed up in a
collision of carriages on the road to Prince
ton. She had been shopping in this city,
anil was on her way home with her maid
when her driver took an c-Ktra tight hoM
on the reins to steer the team away from
a horse which was madly bearing down
upon them. Behind the runaway horse was
Richard Stockton, a son of Samuel Stock-
ton, of Princeton. He guided his horse
1 past tla Cleveland carriage, escaping it
by only a hair s Dreautn. out men ran
into a buggy in which John M. Thompson
and George Lawrence, of this city, were
seated. The three men were tumbled to
the ground and their vehicles were badly
wrecked.
Mra. Cleveland jumped out of her car
riage and offered assistance to the men.
and when she found that they xvere not
very seriously hurt, she offered to take
them with her back to Princeton. The
men with many thanks declined the offer.
