“BURNER JAKIE” HAS GOME HOME Hears for the First Time of His Retirement. ■HE GIVES WAY TO EMOTION Though hard Pressed By Report, ers Gr.zzlcd Old Soldier Has Nothing to Say. A San Francisco special says: Standing on the bridge of the Thomas, eagerly waiting with the ship's cap tain for a glimpse of hts native shore, ■General Jacob H. Smith, tried by court- martial for having ordered the island -of Samar transferred Into a howling wilderness,, was -doomed Friday morn ing to flrBt learn that the president had retired him from the active list. The pilot boat which met the Thom as just outside the heads at 2 o’clock n. m., carried to General Smith.the dnst news of the president’s action. In the light of a binnacle, lamp, the veteran read the messago apprising him of.his fate. An hour later the dawn came and with It the sight of land, but General Smith bad retlrsd to bis cabin, where, with bis wife and chief aide, J. H. Shields, of the 12th Infantry, he discussed U19 outcome of the long ordeal through which he had passed. Six hours later, whea tbe Thomas reached the quarantine station In the harbor, Major Duval, of the transport ■service, boarded the ship with his sec retary and met both General Smith •and Lieutenant Shields at the door of •the general’s cabin. A sealed document frqm the war de partment was handed General Smith. It contained the official notification of President Roosevelt’s action, add upon reading it General $mith retired, over come with emotion. •General Smith was not seen again ■until the United States icustom house ■tender, the Hartley, was ready to land the party ashore. He denied hlppsclf to all Interviewers, who were mdt by Lieutenant Shields. Together with his wife and aide. General Smith proceed ed to . the OcCldental-hotel, repairing thence to army headquarters. in the Phillan building, witero, lie remained •during the morning. "General Smith has absolutely noth- Ing to say for publication,” said Lieu tenant Shields to a representative of. the Associated Press. ‘‘He Is not at liberty to talk and furthermore has nothing to say. He has been hopeful that the president would; not take ac tion against him and, ore course, feels keenly the force of H19 blow he re ceived. "The general admitted to the court- martial trying him that be had Issued orders which In effect expressed his desire that the enemy If obdurate and unconquerable, be not apared—In fact that the country be laid waste and no prisoners be taken. The literal con struction of these orders and exact In terpretation made up the bulwark of •evidence aganst the general at the •courtmartlal. There is no doubt but that General Smith did not mean all he -said. He certainly did not expect the aetton which the president has taken.” General Smith, who Is wearing civ- Ullun attire, appeared exceedingly ner vous and worn. HIb sixty-two years are plainly read In his every action and his Intimate friends tear he is breaking down under the severe strain 'to which he has been subjected In re cent months. - v General Smith’s sealed orders require him to report to the adjutant general at Washington and It Is likely be will Jose no time in so doing. Repeated efforts made during the day to Induce General Smith to discuss .bis campaign In the Philippines abd this courtmartlal failed entirely. Hf -even declined to take up the subject with Intimate friends. The transport Thomas also brought portions of the Twenty-fifth and Twen ty-sixth Infantry regiments and Tenth -cavalry.

Judge Tells Wrcng-Ooers How to - Conduct Themselves While Under Ban of Court. The trial of John Richards and oth ers, charged with contempt of court, came to a close'at Charleston, W. Va, Saturday, and Judge Heller fixed Au gust 12tb as the date for the argu ments. AH the defendants were re leased on their own recognisance until that time. Before adjourning court Judge Keller called the numerous de fendants before him and delivered a lecture on the question of proper beha vior while Injunctions are pending. It forecasts his judgment In the matter. He said In part: "A great deal has been said hers about the efforts of certain people to learn the extent of these Injunctions and what they mean, and the Inability on the part of some of them to gather any meaning with regard to them be-' yond the fact that they were not to trespass upon Mr. Collins’ property. "Now, the,trespass notices had that effect. Any man has the right at any time to post trespass notices upon his property and -to require all persons to seek permission before they go upon his property. He does not need the aid of the court for that purpose. “Different conditions make a differ ence in the rights of all of us. A small assemblage of persons seeking peace fully and peacebly to gain a lawful and righteous end may do things which a lqrge body ui men, with osten sibly the same purpose, have no right to do, for the reason that that body of men may overawe and does overawe In many instances other people who have rights that must be respected. “Now, under ordinary circumstances, the question of the number of men as sembled together for what to them Is a lawful purpose, has little to do with the rights of other people, but under conditions like those, which have been shown-to exist at the present time,- people are more or less disturbed. They know that there Is a difference of opinion between certain men who are laborers and who have a perfect right to their opinions and a perfect right to organize to their fullest extent to gain what they consider are their rights and ’other people who do not think as they do. When these condl- J ions exist, we cannot. disguise. the ait tbat'the' parties Whrf think differ ently necessarily draw more or less Irto parties. They consider those who think as they do their friends and those who do not thick as they do as' more or less their enemies. For that reason It behooves men, whether there be Injunctions or whether there be no Injunctions, whether there be trespass notices, or whether there be no tres pass notices, at a time like that to give no occasion for suspicion of their good Bfftl Intentions. As to facts alleged to exist when this bill was sworn out, the court knows nothing. It presented suebs a state of affairs as in the belief of the court at the time authorised and required It to lsaue Its Injunction. That Injunction was not designed to restrain any lawful right of any united mine worker under the circumstances then existed; It was designed simply to pro tect the rights of the persons who de sired to peacefully labor. The ques tion, and the hard question for you men to solve and tor the court to solve, Is as to what precisely you may do at any given time without violating the rights cf those men who desire to peacefully tabor.” STRIKERS Sl’OXE TROOPS.

Dog days. So many of the young people write to me about dog days that I will answer briefly that there are no dog days. It is nothing but a super stition that has come down to us from the ancients. The Dog star or Siriua has Its time to appear In the heavens and rise and set like other stars, but It Is a very Irregular tinje and sp what we call dog days may begin the first of July or many days later. The rising of Sirius In a line with the sun begins now on the 3d of July and will con tinue until the llth of August. Those forty days were believed by the an cients to irlng very hot -end sultry weather and many malignant diseases, but this has been disproved by modern than any other institution in the Uni ted States." It was self-conceit and ignorance that provoked such a mon strous absurdity, for Colonel Sprague, of Yale college, has recently challeng ed him to the proof and has shown be yond all cavil that Yale can number ten times the great men that West Point can. number. Among them 1,383 ministers of the gospel, 78 justices of ’supreme courts, 17 chief justices, 546 doctors, 39 governors of states and 38 United States senators; besides these, Yale has sent forth an army of educa tors, established 480 colleges, 160 tov women and 8,000 high schools, while West Point has sent out none but sol diers. Teddy ought to be ashamed of him self, but be will not be.

We are nothing and lees than nothing In the scale of existence. It has always been a mystery to-me why the Creator of the boundless uni verse, that has no limit, should have chosen this little world of ours for Hts greatest work, the Creation of man In Hla own Image, a little lower than the angels, man who sinned and fell and was redeemed by the sacrifice of the Son of God. I don’t understand It, I cannot comprehend It This little world Is no bigger than a cannon ball com pared with some of the planets and stars afar out In space. It has but one little moon that does not conde scend to show us but one side of Its anatomy. The other night we went out to Mr. Granger's beautiful home to look at the full moon through his grfiat telescope that cost $5,000—and Is mounted In a high observatory with a dome that revolves as the earth re volves. It was a magnificent specta cle, but the view of Jupiter with four moons and Saturn with his rainbow ring and seven moons was much more beautiful and Impressive.

Mr. Wilson res cued the child from her captors and took her to his own home. Later the Gyp* lea were pursued and arrested. ALI.F.X ASKF.I) TO EXPLAIN.
