CRUISER CHICAGO LAST IN PARADE SECOND PLM'E OF HONOR Admiral IlOWisOO SUYS the Position Was in Accordance With Naval E iqnetle. NEW YORK. S.pt. .-The cruirr Chicago was the last of the big war ships in the par:itls tJay. , This, Hear-Admiral Howlson ex- plained, was the sond place of honor. 'I see that quite a fuss Is bein made in some quarte.-s orer the p -sltion of i the Chit-acn In fha iur.,la an, th& ., , that T ,hlP wi'l nt follow lnnnedt . ately after the Olympla and before . v v . . ' " , , ' cant of trouble of some kind," he said. "This Is altogether wrong and the supposition grew out of Ignorance ot naval etiquette and manner. There Is not the slightest friction anywhere. Admiral Dewey, Rear-Admiral Samp son and myself are anxious to see everything to go off smoothly and hap pily and everybody have a good time. To this end, we will do all we can. "No question of precedenc has arisen and 1'. would be Impossible for such a question to arise In the navy. It Is all foreseen and provided for by the rules ahich none may disobey. The position of each cruiser and battleship will be taken in accordance with these rules which Is to say that they will proceed up the river In tlx order In which we are now anchored as each vessel ac tually occupies Its proper place. I I uruppiru my proper place in xne rear at the Une as soon as I entered port. "In the column ahead the leading ship has the place of honor. The sec ond place of honor Is the rear, thus If we were to go In line abreast, the 01ym pia would be on the right and the Chi cago on the left of the line. My pres ent position at the rear of the North Atlantic squadron would be the head of the second squadron If any more ships were here. You see, It la very easy to explain and to understand. "The fact that Rear Admiral Samp son bad to lower his blue Mag with two stares when I arrived does not amount to a row of pins. It Is a mere matter of etiquette and nothing more. Rear-Admiral Sampson, for Instance, ranks Rear-Admiral Philip. If he were to go to the navy yard, he would fly the blue flag and Philip would lower his blue and hoisted the red one. If I was also to go to the navy yard Sampson would Immediately change his blue for a red flag and Philip would change his red flag for a white one, as being junior to Sampson and me, That Is all there Is In It" LUTHERAN CHURCH COUNCIL General Officers Elected at Yesterday's Session In Chicago.

The letter In part says: 'This Is a beautiful country and the people In my opinion are not half so bad as they ar pictured. Centuries of bul government and bad treatment hke made them suspicious and It will be some time before we can pursuade them that we are not here for the pur pe of robbing them and making them slaves. "As soon as they are assured of our good lll and Intentions, and we are able to show them by example that we mean only for their good and welfare, I think we will find the Filli'ln kU Americans as any of our foivlgn element.

A physician makes the statement that we see with our feelings. There la more truth In this than ths thought less will perceive. For Instance, take a man or woman with a weak stomach which has not the power of giving the blood th nourishment It requires. The syiteu. Is filled with poisonous bile. I'oor blood coursing through the brain poisons and weakens It. and the suf ferer Is utterly Incapable of enjoying beauty of any sort, or even a hearty meal. The reason ths bilious and the dyspeptle who takes Ho tetter's Stom ach Ulttir Buds life brighter and pleasant jr, Ja because It cleanses the system and strengthens the stomach. 8e that a private revenue stamp covers the top of the bottle. olnLHALL I I TAILORS Fin work al Popular Prices. 337 Wnsihlrmiort Street.
