FREMONT NOT PEEJUDICED. Captain of Battleship Mississippi Doesn't Object to Portrait of Davis on Silver Service. .\-;ews an(d Conl'.% 7t0l. Cal1. J()11!1 C . F'IVlI.II)IaI, hng the Uned StatIe httle.hipi Missisip)pi. does noI oh.ieet 14 the placing of the poritrait of Jefferson Davis upon the silver service which the war vessel is now on her way up the Mississippi to receive from the State in whwse honor she is named. Responding to a telegraphic request as to whether he and the other officers of the Mississippi were in sympathy with the antagonism which the plac ing of the likenes.s of the dead chief tain of the Confederacy upon the silver service had aroused, Capt. Fre mont last night wired The News and Courier as follows, his .dispatch be ing dated New Orleans: "The navy is without sectional prejudice, and its patriotism knows no boundaries save those of the great country at large." The Answer of Fremont. Editorial News and Courier, May 7. "The navy is without sectional prejudice, and its patriotism knows no boundaries save those of the great country at large. Fremont."' That is the message received by the News and Courier last night from Captain John C. Fremont, command ing the battleship Mississippi, now on her way up the Mississippi river to receive from the hands of the State in whose honor she -as named, the silver service presented in token of her appreciation. Thc message came in response to this request from the the News and Courier: "Resolution 'has been introduced in the house objecting to the portrait of Jefferson Davis on the silver ser vice for the battleship Mississippi. The News and Courier would be pleased to !have an expression from you as to whether you object, and why you do or not.'' Last week a congressman from Ohio by the name of Hollingsworth introduced a resolution in the house at Washington, ".the house of our fathers," as Ben Hill, of Georgia, used to call it, calling up the secre tary of the navy to inform congress what lesson of patriotism and what ideals of government the gift of the silver service presented to the battle ship "Mississippi'' by the State of that name would inspire. .The resolu tion further called upon Captain Jno. C. Fremont and the officers of the battleship to explain whether or not they agreed to the decoration of the service with the likeness of Jefferson Davis. The answer of Captain Fremont rings like a shot from a twelve-ineh gun: "The navy is without sectional prejudice, and its patriotism knows rno boundaries save those of the great country at large.'' It will carry con ste'rnation into the ranks of thre re actionaries .and malcontents who seek to keep the old .fires buning, and it will be received with 'enthusiasm by true hearted men everywhere, North and South alike. What will Hollings worth do about it? He has the ans wer of the commanding clheer of the battleship Mississippi. Will he move for a court martial, or wi h.e rea.ize that the dead past has buried its dead, that his occulpa. a is gone, that "Under the sod and the kw. Waiting the judgmiet.: day; Love and tears for sne Blut Tears and love for t'.e G:iv.'' Hats off to Capt ina Fr nmont and the .United States navy. whose "pa triotism knows ao binn.aries save those of the great country at large!'' MRS. BOYLE'S ALSO CONVICTED Eid.uapper's Accomplice Found Guilty in Mercer-Both Will Get J..ong Terms. Mercer, Pa., May 8.-Mrs. James H. Boyle, formerly Anna Macdonald of Chicago, was conviete.d today on a charge of aiding, assisting and abet ting the abduction of Willie Whitla of Sharon, Pa. A motion for a new trial will be made Monday by her counsel, but it is said that Judge Williams will ov errule the motion and im.mediately pass sentence on the woman and also her husband, who was convicted of kidnapping yesterday. Both, it is said, probably will be sent to the western Pennsylvania pen itentiary at Pittsburg for a long term of years. Boyle is liable to life im.pris.onment and the maximum sen tence in the case of the woman is 25 years. It is probable Boyle and the wo man will be taken to Pittsburg Mon day afternoon or Tuesday morning. Later an appeal to the supreme court of Pennsylvania will be made by the attorneys.

Cons-tan;InII;ople. _11y S.-U'p to Ihe present time the sulm of 7,500,00 has been found in the treasury boxe-1 of the imperial palace at Yildiz, oC eupied before his deposition by Abdul Hamid. Two and a half million dol lars of this is in eash, while $5,000, 000 is marketable securities equiva lent to cash. Furthermore, papers were -found indicating that Abdul Hamid has on deposit in Germany, England. France and the United States upwards of $15.000.000. It is understood that the Cabinet takes the attitude that all these foreign depos its, as well as the treasure at Yildiz, are the property of the State. Two courses are open to tire government respecting these foreign deposits: one is to obtain them through legal pro eess and the other through authoriza tion from Abdul Hamid himself. It is not believed that Abdul Ham id will refuse to direct his agents to pay over these sums, for the reason that as a prisoner it is quite impos sible for him to make use of the money, while by giving it up he may secure advantages during his captivi ty. and possi-bly be given a share of the foreign deposits and investments for his family. THE HOME COMPLETE. Institution at Columbia Ready Yor Homeless Veterans.

Caper as com missioner of internal revenue July 1. Capers' re-signation, it is also said, has been in the 'hands of the sec retary of the treasury for som-e time, but -because of former 's serious ill ness it has been kept quiet.

Mr. Capers' condition tonight is ritical, and the chances of recovery are decidedly against him. CANNON'S 72RD BIRTHDAY. Speaker of House Celebrates Passing Of Another Milestone in His .

Some of the Many Reasons He Has For Tempting Fate. Philadelphia Bulletin. Why does a man marry? For many -different reasons; but first, last and a.ll the time-because he wants to. I have little faith in the piteous tales that a-re told describing man as a vict-im led to the altar. He may marry -because -he wants a girl's love, or -her money, or because -he wants a wife; but you can always be mightily sure tb-at he wants some thing. He is no sacrificed lamb. S-ometimes a man makes desperate love to a girl when (he has no serious intentions. If such a man gets caught in -his own net it serves him right. The average man marries for the simple reason that he hias fallen in love.

EASY PAYMENTS ARI Cable P EVERYTHING K) Cable Building J.V. WAL.L.ACI SIL.VER, I have a large Sterling Cut Glk Fancy MAYES' DO of the ill-mated married couples we see. If an earnest young fellow falls in love with an empty-'headed doll of a girl, nothing on earth can persuade him of the foolishness of his choice. He must marry her and find out from personal experience that she is not the wife for him. There is no sadder sight in the world than That of two mismated young people starting out on life's journey together. Th:e man might be a splendid fellow if married to some' woman who understood him and knew how to bring out his best qualities. The woman might be a splendid woman if married to some man who brought out tihe best side of her na ture. Apart they might amount to some thing; togethe.r they are a miserable failure. Such domestic tragedies are usually the -result of brief acquaintance and ourtship. When a man is about to marry 'he should look for a mate as well as a wife. Congeniality is tihe foundation of a happy marriage. Life is not all courtship and 'honeymoon, you know, young people. The stern realities of life must be faced and accepted. If you can walk down tihe years of time : as stanch, true companions as well as married sweethearts, then you are indeed well mated. A stalwa'rt, atirletic Adonis may make a very captivating suitor, but find out if hiis heart and brain are as ell developed as his body before you ive your heart into his keeping, lit le maiden.

An.d no matter why a man marries, it is of the utmost importance that he choose a girl w!ho will be a wvise and good wife and mother. You may think a certain girl plain, but wait until youi see her face transfig ured and beautiful by love. Most of you marry for love, but be sure that your love is well placed, that the girl and yourself are thoroughly suited to each otiher. Be very sure that you ean not live without her before you ask hIr to share your life. Bear in mind that a man is either made or marred by is marriage. The Busiby storekeeper surveyed Mr. Leonard with a contemplative eye, and then turned his gaze toward Jim.my Sloane, who was ~putting packages into 'the delivery wagon. Jimmy had the leisurely air of on~e with plenty of time at his disposal. "You 'want .to know how he'd be for your business down below '' said. r. Gregg, slowly. "Yes,'' said the visitor.
