out on the Hudson to Honesdale, Pa.,
to Samuel P. Coykendall, the million

Kingston. Orders were sent here dis
charging the men who have been In
charge of the locks and waste weirs
since the company discontinued the
running of boats.
The object of the purchase can only
be conjectured, but It Is believed by
well Informed people that there Is a
big railroad scheme back of It and that
It will be In the interest ot the Dela
ware and Hudson company. Mr. Coy
kendall and this company are on very
friendly terms, and It Is only recently
that he extended his Ulster and Dela
ware road to Oneo.ita. where It con
nects with tho Delaware and Hudson,
nnd the coal of the latter road now
llnds Its way to Kingston by means' of
this connection. For the past week a
corps of engineers and surveyors has
been locating and surveying a route on
tho Mooslc mountains, from Waymart,,
Pa., to Kdgerton colliery, east of May
field, In the company's coal Ileitis. The
company secured options for the line
some months ago, and by following tho
line of the canal in part It will afford
a short route to tidewater, as well as
easy grades. Tho canal cost over $G,

company It was wiped out as an asset.
COLLEGE BOAT RACES
AT I'OUGHKEEPSIE
Pennsylvania Wins the Four-oared
Race Cornell Ahead on the Fresh
man Eight-oared Contest.
Poughkeepslc. X. Y.. June 26. Two
of the college boat races were rowed
on the Hudson river this evening. To
morrow the big 'varsity elght-oarcd
crew of Cornell, Columbia, Wisconsin
and Pennsylvania will contest. The
i ace between the four-oared crews of
Pennsylvania and Cornell this evening
was won by Pennsylvania by a length
and a half.
Pennsylvania took the lead at the
start and although Cornell hung close
for a while the Quakers at the end of
the first mile had a lead of a boat's
length. At this point a collision was
barely averted. The Pennsylvania boat
caught tho wash of a ferry boat and
the shell turned almost directly toward
Cornell. T o avoid a collision the Cor
nell boat was turned away also. Then
the boats after straightening tint and
from this point to the llnlsh Pennsyl
vania increased her lead and crossed
the line a winner by n length and a
half. Olllclal time, ll.l'.', and the dis
tance, two miles.
The freshmen race of eight-oared
crews of Columbia, Cornell and Penn
sylvania was In its earliest stages one
of the closest nnd most exciting' races
seen on the river for years. Cornell
look a slight lead at the start with
Columbia and Pennsylvania following
close in that order. At the first mile
Cornell had worked about half a length
in front, with the other two hanging
on and Columbia seeming to gain on
the leader. Cornell here drew fur
ther away and at tho half mile post
Pennsylvania dropped rapidly astern.
Columbia held her own, but Cornell
with a steady stroke of :,6 crossed the
line a length and a quarter ahead, with
Pennsylvania three boat lengths be
hind Columbia. Cornell's time, 0.55,
tllstance, two miles. Yale In 1897 cov

TORNEY GENERAL GRIGGS.
Delivered Before tho Graduating
Class at tho Scvonty-Flfth Anni
versary of Ynlo Law School Not
True That While Progress Has
Been Made In Other Directions of
Human Activity Thoro Has Been.
None in the Administration of
Justice.
New Haven, June 26. Attorney Gen
eral Griggs tonight delivered the ltd
drers before the graduating class at tha
seventy-fifth anniversary of Vale law
school, taking lor Ids theme "Advance.
In Jurisprudence In tho Nltu teenth
Century." He said In part;
Whatever doubts the historians havo
had heretofore In deciding whut particular
era of tho world Is most worthy of tho
designation of tho Golden Age m the his
tory of tho Anglo-Saxon people, there
will be no disagreement, I think, wh-n
the records are written up to us close, In
nw.iiillng lb this last year of this mor-t
uuuderful century the distinction ot nav
liiB reached a higher point of attain
ment, a more universal condition of In
telligence, and a greater avcrago of per
scnal comfort than the human race ever
before enjoyed. Itegard tho education,
tho Intelligence, tho ma'nncr of llvinx,
tho linprovemnt of ordinary dwellings,
the food on the table, the clothes that aro
worn, the books' that aro read, tho news
papers that romo every day, tho short
ened hours of labor, the holidays, tho in
crease of travel and visitation, the ex
tension to the mnrses of the pilvlleges of
art, literature and science, which but a
short time ago wero obtainable only by
the wealthy consider tho extension and
Improvement In all these things, as well
as in the scientific Inventions and appli
ances that tend to promote business, Im
prove manufacture, extend commerce,
and create wealth, and everybody will
admit without a moent's hesitation that
tho people are living better, feeling bet
ter, and doing better than In any other
peilod of the world's history.
Let us review the course of Jurispru
dence, especially In America, and sco
whether that department ot human gov
ernment has kept pace with tho general
progress of civilized society.
Criminal Law Softened.
It has been said by an eminent stu
dent of the history and philosophy of law
thai legislation has failed to keep paco
with this material liromos'S unit with
tho increase of accumulated wealth. If
b this Is meant that our Juilsprudcnco
has ptoved Inadequate as a sjstem of le
gal mandate and Judicial proccduru to
provide protection and redress in rea
sonable measure I'm- all the new and ex
panded relations ol iimpct t. of business,
and of civil statu- ih.it now developed,
then tho stutenuut m.i well be chal
lenged. if, on the olln-r hand, li is only meant
to assert that those uucle-nt principles of
Jurisprudence which supply the basis of
our system the Kiigllt.li common law-,
moulded by tho progress of development
from century to century and from tlmo
to lime enlarged, restrained, and vari
ously modltlcd by statutory enactment,
hnvH remained substantially the ruin of
civil conduct, supplying' tho standard of
tiiuilco in- which the novel methods and
vast transactions of our day are to be
judged, without yielding to tho universal
demand fon change and experiment, then
tho statement may be received as a tes
timonial to tho wisdom, the staniuiy,
and inherent adaptability ot Knglish law;
for one of the mest remarkable charac
teristics of tho common law Is Us easy
and natural adaptation, through Its ad
ministration by the bar and the courts,
to relations and circumstances that are
novel and without exact preced.-nt. If
no precedent Is forthcoming, there Is al
ways the more subhtantl.il guide of an
cient principle to point tho way to a de
cision that shall stand thereafter as a
j tiling precedent.
A Statement Challenged.
Substantially our system of jurispru
dence remnlns unaltered from that which
our fathers obeyed and administered
when the nineteenth century first dawned.
With fortv-llvo state legislatures annu
ullv or biennially engaged In enacting,
amending, supplementing, and revising,
nnd constantly Issuing vast volumes of
now statutes. It Is remarkable how little
nlteratlon has been made In tho-substan
tial system of Knglish law which we In
herited from the mother count ly, and
whlcli still remnlns a steadfast system of
Justice, tho foundation of our civil rights
nnd liberties. Changes. Indeed, there
have been, some for tho better, some,
perhaps, for the worse. Most of them
have been In procedure rather than In
tho mutter of substance or principle.
Tliero has been a vast acceleration of
legnl process, from summons to execu
tion, that Is In keeping with the inoro
rapid business requirements of the times'.
The refinements and complications of
practice, both In the law and chancery
courts, which formerly prolonged to tin
ivniennablo lengths tho pursuit of .1u:
tlce, and made It more prudent for many
to bear the ills they had than to fly to
others that thev knew not of, have given
wav to moro direct, more slmplo and ex
peditious courses ot procedure where
by justice has been made not only more
certain, but more speedy, thus Increas
ing general confidence in tho courts, and
lidding Immensely to the respect and au
thority Inspired by a system of Just and
equal laws efficiently administered.
if v -mi1il recall some lawyer of the
old days nnd t"t him down among tho
bar In one of our modern court rooms to
observe th" trial ot a case, in- wiuuu i'-i-ognlzo
the sanv uiles and precepts, tho
same principle of btstlce with which he
was familiar a century ago. tie would
nolo, however, a decrcnw d observance
of form and ceremony, a more rapid and
direct progress of the trial toward the
very essence of the case, and would learn
that mnnv ancient rules ot procedure,
once supposed necessary for the pro
trctlon of litigants and the attainment
of a lust judgment, have been supplanted
by more liberal and straightforward
methods, under which the administration
of law is now conducted to moro speedy
and satisfactory results.
Substantially Unaltered.
This century has witnessed the prac
tlcnl abolishment of the evils and hor
rors of poor debtors' prisons. Out of a
moro refined spirit of humntio sympatln,
under tho mollifying influences of general
prosperity nnd a larger average of per
ronal comfort among the population,
camo an Intolerance of tho Idea that any
one, guiltless or crime or iraiui, snoum
lr)s0 Mh liberty
poverty or mlsl
:ty merely uccausu in iu
Isfortune.
Those who aro familiar, through liter
ary works, with the pitiful condition of
those confined In the poor debtors' pris
ons of Orcat Ilrltuln must not assume
that such a system was peculiar to that
country, and that we In America have
always lieeiv fre-e- from similar reproach.
Such Is not the case. On the contrary,
until about tho end of the first half tit
the century Imprisonment for simple debt
was tho prevalent law In every state of
the Vnlon. In one year, during the sec
ond term of Presdent Jefferson, eleven
hundred and fifty persons wero confined
for iljbts of $25 or less In New York city
alone: and wo will nppreelate the pov
erty of the time, as well as tho general
hardness of heart among the t-o-called
"creditor class" of that day. when we
further learn that of these eleven hundred
and llftv cases, live hundred nnd ninety
weru for debts under $10. imagine tho
outcrv of horror nnd Indignation which
would arise at such a condition In our
day! . .
Signs of Progress.
This has been the great century of
amelioration. CJcnerous hearts are con
stantly contriving new moans of addhm
to tho comfort nnd Lettering the welfare
of tho mUurublo and unfortunate, utid
generous hands nre constantly contribut
ing In lavish sums the money that Is nec
essary to provide them. So wo find thut
legislation has broil very uctve. along
slmllnr lines. The general health and
safety of tho community have become,
within proper limits, objects of public
concern, nnd statutes relating to sani
tation, health, food, personal safety from
accident, wator supply und pollution, aro
now an Important part of tho statute law
of overv state. In tho oxerclso of tho
pollcu power the government has becomo
verv active In regulating things which
used to bo left to tho unrestrained and
reckless control of lndvldttnl Judgment or
cnprlec. It not only tnkes charge of tha
public drainage of our titles, but com

MRS. BARROW'S FATE.
Last of Marlon Clarke's Kidnapers
Sentenced A Term of Twelve
Years and Ten Months Imposed by
Justice Werner.
New York, June 20. Mrs. Addle Bar
row was arraigned before Justice Wer
ner In the criminal branch of the su
premo court today on a charge of being
one of the kidnappers of the child
Marlon Clarke. She pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to a term of twelve
years and ten months' imprisonment.
In pronouncing' the sentence Justice
Werner said:
"It Is usual and proper where a plea
f guilty h entered by a defendant and
the expense of a trial is saved to the
community to show leniency." began
the justice1. "No one could have heard
the eloquent idea here made by the
counsel for the defense without being
strongly Impressed by It. This, how
ever, is an extraordinary case. It Is u
case so important and so unusual that
no ctmtom or sentiment should Inter
fere with the sentence. This defend
ant has been shown to be utterly de
void of the fine and tender feelings
that aro the distinguishing characteris
tics of her sex. The crime of which
she Is guilty has spread fear and dis
trust throughout the land, nnd It Is due
to the parents and the children of this
country that such punishment should
be inflicted as would not only prevent
her from committing such a crime
again but serve as a warning to others
not to traffic In human flesh and blond."
Mrs. Burrows held on to the railing
llrmly. She glow ashen pale and seem
ed to be making a desperate effort to
bear up.
"The sentence of the court," conclud
ed Justice Welner, "is that you shall
be confined In the state's prison at1
Auburn for the term of twelve years
unci ten months."
Many ot the spectators leaped to their
feet. The court attendants called for
order. For a second Mrs. Barrows
stood looking about her aghast, as If
unable to realize the full meaning of
the wortls she had Just heard. Then
she took her head between her hands
nnd tears came streaming down er
thing cheeks. Her foster mother ran
up to her, sobbing, but the young wo
man was wrenched from her and led
or." of the room.

LABOR'S BENEFIT
AT PITTSBURG
GOVERNOR STONE REMARKS
UPON PHILIPPINES QUESTION.
An Earnest Appeal for tho Support
of tho Government Possibilities
of. Trade in tho Additional Terri
tory Acquired During Our War
With Spain Other Speakers That
Will Be Present.
Pittsburg, June 26. Benefit week of
"all organized labor of Western Penn
sylvania" at the Grand Opera house
has assumed proportions not thought
of by the promoters and the affair
promises to result In closer union of tho
laboring classes In this section than
ever before.
A splendid vaudeville entertainment
of about two hours duration has been
provided for each afternoon and even
ing, after which prominent speakers
have been engaged for the further en
joyment of tile audiences.
The week was Inaugurated with a
large parade in which nil the labor or
ganizations of the city participated, es
corting as the guest and orator of the
evening Governor Stone, whet, at tho
conclusion of the vaudeville bill, made
a short but heartily appreciated ad
dress. Ctovernor Stone said In part:
Ladles: and Gentlemen: I nm very glad
to meet tho representatives of organized
labor of western Pemsjlvanla and to con
gratulate you on the success of your un
dertaking. Tho oltl saying that "In union
there Is strength," applied to organized
labor. If there is any Justification for
organized ci.tdlal thert l much gieater
Justlilcatlon fur organized labor. Capital
Is organised for ptolll to the stockhold
ers. Labor Is organized for protection
to the workers. Coiporatlons aio capital
organizations There Is no necessary
contest betwten organized capital and
organized labor. Tin re should be th3
greatest reciprocity and good will be
tween them.
Tho desire of both labor and capital Is
to create a greater demand for our piod
ucts. Whenever und wherever you in
crcaso the demand for products you In
crease the dt mand for labor. Wherever
the demand for labor Increases the price
of lnbor should increase. Labor will or
ganize wherever or wherever labor Is
performed and It Is tight and proper
that It should. Labor asks no sympathy
from capital. It Is quite able to take care
of Itself.
Our recent war has brought us addi
tional territory. What shall wo do with It'.'
Shall we withdraw our ships and our sol-
tilers'." Strike our tents, haul down our
flag und withdraw from the Philippines?
No. Let us maintain that the territory
acquired In war and In honor, sanctified
by our flag und baptized by the blood of
our soldiers and sailors, shall remain
under tho protection of our flag until
stable government shall be established,
life and property secured and trade and
commerce resumed. Organized labor Is
Interested In the Philippines; for jio mat
ter what form or kind ot government
shall be established there a large in
crease In the demand for our siirplua
products must take place. That means
an Increase In the demand fur labor to
produce them. But nhove anil beyond
the question of trade advantages, pa
triotism, love of country and honor to
our flag will not let us turn our barks
on the Philippines; and when has honor's
call been unanswered by the laboring
men of this country?
Patriotism dwells In (he home of the
men and women of this country who earn
their bread by the sweat ot their brow.
The programme for tho balance of
the we-ek Includes tho following promi
nent public men as special attractions:
Tuesday, Samuel Oompers, president of
the Federation ot Labor; Wednesday,
Terrence V. Powderly, Immigration
commissioner: Thursday. J. P. lie
Guire, vice-president of the Brother
hood of Carpenters; Friday, Major
General Nelson A. Miles; Saturday,
Samuel P. Jones, mayor of Toledo.
While each of the above named men
will be received with much ceremony
by tho executive and citizens' commit
tees, the special demonstration will bo

. PINGREE EXPLAINS.
Ho Tells of Conditions That Would
Make Him a McKinleyite.
Detroit, June 20. Governor PIngree
today made a statement brought out
by Washington dispatches which quot
ed Secretary Alger as saying that
"Governor PIngree is for President Mc
Kinley first, last nnd all tho time."
Said the governor:
"If General Alger said that, It Is his
opinion from his point of view. Tho
question whether I am for McKinley
lies with tho president, not with me.
If General Alger knows that President
McKinley is opposed to territorial ex
pansion, and Is not an advocate of tho
murders and tho destruction being vis
ited upon the Innocent Filipinos, he has
a light to say that I am for McKinley.
If General Alger Is Informed that Mc
Kinley is opposed to trusts nnd to leg
islation which fosters, creates and en
courages them, and In favor of legis
lation to restrict and suppress them,
then I am closer to the opinions ot Mc
Kinley than has generally been be
lieved. If General Alger Is assured that
President McKinley Is not In touch und
sympathy with the disreputable politi
cal methods of Mark Hanna and his
friends, and deprecates such leader
ship, then I am for McKinley.
"The question of whether I favor Mc
Kinley ls of no consequence In this
senatorial matter, but I am for Mc
Kinley In everything he does which I
consider right und ngalnst everything
ho does which I consider wrong."

HOWLING FARCE
AT LOUISVILLE
The Kentucky Democratic State Con
vention the Most Uproarous Upon
Record Result of tho Ballot.
Loulsllle, June 26. A continuous per
formance of howling farce, lastlnd
eight hours, a rare vocal entertulnment
with soloists nnd a chorus ot several
hundred voices, and horns tests of lung
power made tip the programme ot the
sixth days session of the Democratic
state eonentltm and It narrowly es
caped winding up In an exhibition ni
pugilism and marksmanship. Fiom 10
o'clock until 6 today central music hall
contained without doubt the most up
roarious ami disorderly body of men
that ever gathered together for the
transaction of political au- other busi
ness. Angered by what they consid
ered an arbitrary ruling of the chair,
In refusing to allow an appeal from his
decision declaring out of order a mo
tion to renioMi policemen from the hall,
over half the delegates set about with
nil the energy they could command tf
prevent by deafening noise the transac
tion of any further business until they
secured a vote on this appeal. This plan
was successfully carried out until tr-ur-ly
sis o'clock this evening, when, prin
cipally because of utter physical e.c
hnustion the flllbusterers allowed them
selves tti bf outwitted and the ballot
on nomination for governor, which the
chair had ordered early In the niornlg
and ho had tried repeatedly to proceed
with, was concluded by bavins- the '
county chairman, or ns many us would
come to the stage and yell their Mites
nt the clerk, who at a. tllstance of a
few Inches was nhl lo catch the fig
ures. Before they fairly realized It they
were beaten, and a second ballot was
reached, this time with less tribulation.
These two ballots, both fruitless, rep
resent the day's work of the convention.
After they were completed all wore
glad enough to adjourn until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. Behind this spec
tacular entertainment the three candi
dates for governor worked like beav
ers. Today It was dearly Goebel
ngalnst the field and the Kenton coun
ty leader, coltl and nerveless as ever,
has successfully defied his two oppon
ents to combine nnd beat him. They
may do It yet, but so far they have
shown themselves woefully lacking In
ability to throw their vote in any one
direction or to keep It silent when their
manager seemed it best that no votes
be cast. Goebel controls the organiza
tion of the convention and through It
the state central committee but at
present the fight Is as open and as
fierce as It has been nt any time.
Tho two ballots taken were the
twelfth and thirteenth of the conven
tion nnd resulted ns follows:
Twelfth: Goebel 3.-.2P4: Stone, 261 1:
Hardin, C7.
Thirteenth: Goebel, 32rtlU; Stone,
2"; Hardin, S9.
