The Measure of Success.
In a recent contribution to the Phila
delphia Saturday Evening Post Maurici
Thompson gives utterance to some
sound sentiment and philosophy re
garding our social and business life. He
says:
"Americans have been described by
foreigners, and by sincere home-bred
critics as well, with great show of jus
tice and frankness, as worshipers of
the money god. On the surface of out
life, both domestic and national, we dc
expose a great area devoted to sordid
aspiration. And, after all, there may
be less evil in this fact than a hasty
judgment would comprehend. To a de
gree, financial success is a just measure
of superior intelligence and character.
It is indisputable that the periods ol
highest, civilization have always been
strongly marked by aggregations ol
wealth. We are apt, in our despair at
the thought that we can never be rich,
to make the sweeping charge of un
righteousness, and even brutality,
against those whom the god of gain
has highly favored. Do you wish you
were rich? If you do, what right have
you to arraign the man who has wished
the same thing and had it come true?
Speaking of American humor, what
would be more delightful in that line
than the recent financial success of the
man who a few years ago headed a so
salled army of tramps and marched in
to Washington? A shrewd negro ex
pressed a sound philosophy when, just
after the revival of prosperity in the
south, he said: "lie po' white man done
grab what de rich white man use ter
hoi' fas'. I tell yo\ w'en de bottom rail
git on de top o' de fence dey's somefin'
a gwine ter happen!" Money is not
happiness, nor is financial success the
whole of life. A very little observation
shows that our existence here gathers
such enjoyment as it is capable of real
izing from sources not controllable by
the purchasing power of money. The
laws of health, for example, are more
important than the secrets of trade in
the race for a true goal of human suc
cess. Of what avail would millions of
money have been to Keats when he be
gan to .die at 20? The flawless health
of Gladstone at 80 made his voice a na
tion's trumpet blast. Bismarck's sound
nerve centers were more to Germany
than the gold of all the banks. A sound
body, with a sound character imbuing
it, will command success when a na
tion's overflowing treasury may be
wasted in vain against the tide of ca
lamity. In a word, success comes of
health. Not mere physical equilibrium,
but that higher health which insures
contentment based upon justice, char
ity and righteous regard for life, is the
sine qua lion. A healthy soul in a pure
physique will find its way to such suc
cess as may well be envied. Again turn
ing to Gladstone for lofty example, we
see how the currents of his moral aspi
ration and his political ambition ran
together through a long, beautiful and
powerful career. Weakness of char
acter makes even religion a reflection
from insipidity; force of character ad
vances every object that it touches. 11l
directed, it plunge* its bearer, and
mayhap a nation with him, into the
whirlpool of evil; well directed, it
brings the true success, which may be
but a happy life on a remote farm, or a
long series of public triumphs for the
lasting good of mankind. And as phys
ical health has a strong influence upon
character, it should be assiduously
guarded in our homes and schools
equally with moral health, which also
gives efficiency to the whole human or
ganism. The measure of success is but
the measure of a well-lived life."
When Sarah Norlin returned from her
vacation recently Charles Eckstroni
met her at the station in Topeka, Kan.,
and shook her hand so vigorously that
Sarah fell and broke her leg, reports a
local exchange. Eekstrom paid her doe
tor's bill, and thought the matter was
settled finally until he got notice that
Miss Norlin had entered suit for s.'!,oot
damages. The case was called and Eek
strom testified that his violent hand
shake was merely an extfberant expres
sion of his joy at seeing Miss Norlin
again, and that lie meant no harm. The
jury thought that Eekstrom had done
about the right thing when he paid the
girl's doctor bill, and rendered judg

Ueli rllK-a lli<* lllmrr» of
If* Urli'iidrn.
Washington, Oct. 30.—The bureau
of naval intelligence was made public
an interesting' document published in
theotlu ial organof the minister of war
at Madrid and containing- the sentence
of the supreme council in the proceed
ings instituted because of the capitula
tion of Santiago in the summer of lb<Jß.
The defendants named in tin- proceed
ings are Jose Toral Velasquez, general
of division and the successor of (Jen.
Linares in command of the Fourth
army corps of Cuba; Gen. Mesa, chief
of the brigade of Guantanamo; Lieut.
Col. Velarde, military commander of
Baracoa; Lieut. Col. Alegria, com
mander of Sagua Pe Tanamo; Capt.
Hidalgo, commander of Alto Songo;
Capt. Garcia, commander of San
Louis; Capt. Martinez, commander of
Palma Soriano, and Capt. Clemente
Peyro, commander at El Cristo. The
defendants named, besides (ien. Toral,
are the commanders of the outlying
posts which were included in the ca
lculation of Santiago.
The most interesting feature of the
report is the fact that the court lays
great stress upon the importance of
the American naval forces and de
clares that without their eo-operation
it would have been impossible for the
American forces to have compelled the
surrender of Santiago. The sentence
of the court concludes by vindicating
(ien. Toral from any censure for the
surrender of the city, stating that ho
had "used every means of defense re*
quired by the laws of honor and duty
as attested by the brilliant battles sus
tained from June 22 to the day of
capitulation and the many casualties
in generals, commanders, officers and
privates during said battles. Ihe
other defendants are exonerated, hav
ing acted under the instruct ions of
their commanding general, who In
turn had the sanction of his home gov
ernment for each step taken.
l'efore reaching this conclusion,
however, the court goes into what may
be characterized as a brief but com
prehensive history of the whole Cuban
campaign from the Spanish stand
point, the various reverses met with
from time to time being cited as ex
planations of the final surrender of
the cit.\. which was pointed out as be
ing inevitable from the time the Amer
ican squadron blockaded the liarbol
and cut otV all hope of outside assist-
Rnce.
It is declared that during the bom
bardment of Santiago on May :JL about
100 shots were fired by Spanish lat
teries and the Colon in a space of 45
minutes. The lact, that the Colon
aided this bombardment is new. In
ferring to the sinking of the Merrlmao
in the channel at the month nf the
harbor, the court declares that she
was sunk by the combiner! lire of the
Reina Mercedes and the water bat
teries, a statement not in agreement
with Lieut, liobson's view of the affair
on board the Merrimac.
Of the bombardment by the Amer
ican squadron on June C> the court
says that over 2,000 projectiles were
discharged by the hostile fleet, result
ing in serious injuries to the Keina
Mercedes and the garrison quarters
at the Morro. It says, however, that
no guns were dismounted by this bom
bardment. '"One chief was killed,
however, and eight men killed, two
chiefs, five officers and r><> men wound
ed." This is rather a larger casualty
list than was credited to this bombard
ment at the time.
Following the loss of San Juan and
Caney the court declares that the
water supply was cut ofl' and that the
military force surviving the two days'
lighting of July 1 and 2 wan entirely
inadequate to defend the protective
works around the city. The total
force available is placed officially at
7,000 infantry and 1,000 guerillas. The
remainder of the forces were garri
soning the Morro, and the bat
teries at Soeapa and Punta Gorda
Referring to garrison stores the
court says that at the time of the sur
render all that was left to the army
was a million Spanish cartridges.
These would not have lasted for more
than two attacks on the part of the
enemy. The Argentine Mauser am
munition, of which there was a con
siderable supply, could not be utilized
for want of weapons of that t;, pe. not
could the Remington ammunition,
these weapons being in the hands of
the irregular forces only.
The provisions in the city at. the time
of the surrender consisted only of rice,
salt, oil, coffee, sugar and brandy, and
of these only about ten days
remained. There were over 1,700 sick
in the hospitals who had to be fed,
to say nothing of the soldiers who
spent day and night in trenches after
tliree years of campaign, in. •
last three months of which they sel
dom had meat to eat and vere bften
reduced to the rations mentioned
above."
In addition to the decree of the
court, exonerating the above-named de
fendants there are two supplemental
decrees directing the captain general
of New Castile to take steps to li\ the
responsibility for the fact that there
were not sufficient war materials in the
city to provision Santiago at the time
of the outbreak of the war.

Our authority practically has been es

MARCONI'S INVENTION.
Teat* of UlrclrtN Trlrjrapli)' Tlail*
by Naval tlfllceri Prove Saliafaetorjr
A Demrlptlon ol (lie Method.
New York, Nov. 2. —The cruiser New
York and the battleship Massachusetts
returned last night to their anchorage
in the North river after being em
ployed for three days in evolutions
fur the purpose of demonstrating 1 the
working of the Marconi system' of
wireless telegraphy under varioub
practical conditions. The operations
were under the direction of a board
of three natal officers appointed for
the purpose. Mr. Mareont was handi
capped by incompetent instruments
which had been brought to the United
States simply to neport the interna
tional yacht race, and was unable to
give the government as thorough a
demonstration of the capabilities of
the apparatus as he would have
wished, the request from the navy de
partment for a government fl-st hav
ing been made too late to permit a
change of plans without interfering
with his contract. Hut the result of
the working of the three sets of in
struments employed in the tests of
the past three days was to show the
government board that there is a prac
tical utility in the system, which
would be of inestimable value to naval
vessels during evolutions "I any kind,
and especially when on scouting duty.
The members of the government
board will be obliged to call attention
to 1 lie fact that during these tests it
was possible for any instrument lo
ented within the circumscribed radius
of transmission to destroy the effect
iveness of other instruments at any
time. While the Massachusetts, for
instance, was telegraphing to the New
York, the operator at JNavesink sent
a message at the same time and the
result on the receiving side of the New
York's set was a mass of unreadable
characters, caused by two series of
electrical impulses reaching the in
strument at the same time.
This' was dene deVberately. Mr.
Marconi said he could prevent this in
terference on the part Of a third sta
tion. but that he would not demon
strate it during these tesls, because
he had not yet received his patents for
that feature.
Mr. Marconi allowed a representa
tive of the press to inspect his instru
ments. The method of transmitting
sii-d receiving messages by his syslcm,
as now \i« d. may be explained as fol
lows. \ wire runs froirt the earth, or
water when aboard ship, to the in
strument and thence t<- the top of a
mast. A powerful ::!>ern'iting cur
rent is made tr. Ho*,- up the wire by
means of an induct-on coil, which is
made alive by closing n key. similar
to an ordinary Morse telegraph set,
except that it is much larger. While
the key is closed the rapid alternating
currents pass up the wire and set in
motion electrical wa''es in all direc
tions. A rapid openi J*g and closing of
the kev produces a del, and a dasli is
made b\ holding- ti e key down a
loncer period. The'- the characters
of the Morse alphabet are made and
anv telegraph operator can read what
is sent or received.
When an instrument is not in use
for transmission, a switch disconnects
the key and attaches a receiver wlicli
is likewise connected with the mast
or the earth. The electrical impulses
sent out by Any otliej" station are
caught b\ the wire at the mast and
conveyed to the receive*, where tiicy
magneti/e in an extrenely slight de
gree a small bar, cno-igh to cause
minute metal tilings nesr by to clus
ter about it. This closes anolher cir
cuit, which works a recording instru
ment like the old fashioned telegraph
register and sets a siunll hammer,
calked the tapper, t*> thumping
against the glass tube which holds
the bar and filings. Ar soon as the
sending operator releases his key and
stops the electrical im| ulses from
flowing from his wire, tie attraction
of the bar for the tilings ceases and
the thumping of the tapper causes
tliem to fall back into pTa<r\ This
opens the other circuit mentioned and
the marker 011 the register drops back
from the paper and at thr same time
the tapper stops. 'I he sh Tt and sus
tained impulses from the sender thus

011 the paper by the register through
the delicate but exact work of the

Chicago, Nov. 2. —Three men are
known to have perished and three oth
ers are missing as the result of the
collapse of a six-story building at 139
and 141 West Lake street last evening,
Considerable damage was done to ad
joining property and during the ex
citement it was reported that 40 lives
had been lest. About $200,000 dam
age was done.
The dead: Doctor, Joseph 15., barn
foreman for the New Fngland Milling
Co., caught in front part of building
at time of explosion and body recov

Hilton, Henry, bookkeeper for New
England Milling Co.
The missing: Mullens, Charles,
peddler, purchasing feed in the sales
room of mill and last seen struggling
to reach an exit after the Leonard
building had collapsed and buried in
their ruins of the mill; thought by
some to have escaped. ..
Unidentified woman, said to have
been caught by the portion of the
Leonard building wall thai fell into
the street.
Williams. employe of the Leon
ard Seed Co.
Several persons had narrow escapes
from death and two were injured.
The cause of the collapse is un
known, some claiming that there was
an explosion in the store of S. F. Leon
ard. dealer in seeds, others saying that
the walls fell without apparent cause.
The generally accepted theory is that
there was an explosion of dust in the
seed store.
The crash came with less than one
nunute's warning and Mr. Leonard,
wlio nolieed the walls of the building
shift slightly, called to his employes
to run for their lives and they all
rushed for the street, the last of them
getting through the doorway Just in
time. After reaching the street the
women employes, of Leonard rushed
into the home of Mrs. Agnes Whelan,
135 Lake street. Mrs. Whelan, how
ever, noticed that the house was in
danger and refused to allow the wo
men to remain. Less than half a
minute later the east wall fell and the
house, together with the adjoining
one, was buried beneath the ruins.
Adjoining Mrs Whelan's house and
next to the seed building stooil a two
story frame structure occupied by
Kelso Bros., dealers in paper. A num
ber of young girls and two men were
at work at the time and a panic fol
lowed in their efforts to escape. The
two men smashed the windows and in
that way rescued the girls.
FUNSTON VS. IRELAND.
KanauM (General liitttructa III* Attor

lotted Criminal l.ibol.
Albuquerque, N. M„ Nov. 2. —Gen.
Frederick Funston, who is en route
home with the mustered out T*vi>n
tieth Kansas regiment, has wired his
Topeka attorneys to bring proceed
ings against Archbishop Ireland, of
St. Paul, for criminal libel because of
statements attributed to the arch
bishop in a recent interview. Gen.
Funston also instructed his lawyers
to begin criminal and civil prosecu
tions against the Monitor, a Catholic
paper of San Francisco, which tirst
printed the story.
111 a recent interview in Chicago,
Archbishop Ireland was quoted as. say
ing that Funston had been charged
with looting Catholic churches in the
Philippines. The charges alleged to
have been referred to by the arch
bishop were made by the editor of the
Monitor, soon after the landing of the
Kansas troops in San Francisco. The
Monitor stated, it is said, that Fun
ston had taken two magnificent chal
ices from a certain Catholic church in
the Philippines and had sent them
home to his wife. Archbishop Ire
land. in his Chicago interview, was
quoted as calling upon Funston to
deny the truth of the article and sue
the editor of the Monitor for libel, or
the public would be obliged, against
its will, to believe him guilty of the
criminal acts of which he has been
accused.
St. Paul. Nov. 2. —Archbishop Ire
land appeared somewhat surprised
when he heard that Gen. Funston was
reported as about to sue him for libel
on account of statements attributed
to him in a Chicago interview. He
said he had made no charges agains
Gen. Funston. but had in conversa
tion expressed the opinion that, the
statements of the San Francisco pa
per charging the general with having
taken a priest's robe from a Philip
pine church, should be denied by 'Jen.
Funston at once, lest a failure to deny
led to a wrong impression. The arch
bishop admitted the substantial accu
racy of the Chicago interview..but de
nied that he had made any libelous
statements.

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 3. —Returning
warriors never received a more royal
welcome than that accorded Thursday
to the soldiers of '"Kansas' Famous
Fighting Twentieth" on its arrival
from San Francisco. Gen. Funston
came in for the lion's share of atten
tion shown to the officers and the "lit
tle hero of Manila" was literally taken
off his feet by his admirers in their
eagerness to display their regard for
him. At every station cheering
crowds met the soldiers and greeted
them in unstinted fashion.
Snow in the mountains delayed the
trains and it was afternoon before the
first reacTied Topeka. The three otTi
er sections followed closely, the last
squad of soldiers being landed short
ly before 4 o'clock.
So many thousand people were on
the platform and the railroad tracks
that the train had to fairly crawl into
the depot. Whistles screeched, can
non boomed, do/ens of bands played
and the cheers were almost deafening.
From every window leaned soldiers
waving hats and veiling. They leaped
from the car steps before the train
stopped and fell into the arms of
friends, who grasped and hugged them
as they passed them onto the eager
relatives and sweethearts. Fathers
and mothers pushed through the
crowd in a frantic endeavor to find
"their boy." Many affecting scenes
were enacted.
Gen. and Mrs. Funston were in the
rear Pullman of the lirst section.
When the train came to a stop there
was a rush to get to them and it took
half a dozen strong men to keep the
people off the car 'platform. A woman
spied Mrs. Funston at a window and
pushed her baby up to be kissed by
the general's wife. Mrs. Funston
complied promptly, and Immediately
dozens of mothers reached forward
with their babies to be kissed. Fun
ston was hardly off the car before he
was half dragged, half carried up
stairs into the dining room.
Solid blocks of people filled every
street leading to the depot and the
city was taxed to its utmost to care
for it« guests. It seemed as if the
whole state of Kansas had come to
town and it is estimated that 60,000
outsiders were here. Tons of bunt
ing had been used in decorating the
buildings, and electrical and other
decorations were iiskl with a lavish
hand.
It was after 4 o'clock when the pa
rade to the city began. A guard of
honor for the. boys of the Twentieth
was the civil war veterans, members
of the National guard and many civic
organizations. There were 32 bands
in the parade, the performers -1111111-
berinsr nearly 1,000 musicians. The
entire parade line of over two miles
was a mass of cheering humanity.
Gen. Funston, with his wife, rode in
the carriage of honor, while Col. Met
onlf 011 a white charger and Lieut. Col.
Little on a prancing black, took their
appointed stations at the head of the
regiment. All received ovations at
every point along the line. At the
state house Chief Justice Dosfer, in a
brief speech, introduced Gen. J". K.
Hudson, who on behalf of the peopTe
of Kansas presented the beautiful sl,-
000 sword to Gen. Funston.
In a short speech of acceptance Gen.
Funston said lie predicted that in one
vear's time the island of Luzon will be
as quiet as Massachusetts. "1 return
to Manila," sair he,"and unless 1 get
sick or disabled. I will not return till
the war is over."

Too Late.
A horseman burst into the pnson yard.
"Reprieved!" he shouted, and waved •
paper aloft.
"Too late," replied the warden, sadly.
"Is the man hanged already?"
"No; but he has eaten the hearty break
fast of ham and eggs, coffee and potatoes!"
Executive clemency was all right in its
place, but it could not be suffered to inter
fere with the conventional course of events.
Yes, the horseman's steed was undeniably
foaming, but even that availed little or noth
ing under the circumstances. —Detroit Jour
