ADELBERT S. HAY DEAD.
Found Lifeless on Sidewalk Beneath Hotel Window.
FATHER PROSTRATED BY GRIEF.
Believed That Unfortunate Man Became Ill, Went to Window For Air, Was Overcome by Dizziness and Fell Out—Gloom Among Yale Students.
NEW HAVEN, June 24.—Adelbert S. Hay, son of Secretary Hay, and former consul to Pretoria, was found dead on the sidewalk outside the New Haven House at 2:30 a. m. yesterday.
Hay retired to his room at 1 o'clock after spending the evening with friends in apparent excellent spirits.
At 2:30 a passerby noticed the body of a prostrate man lying on the sidewalk on the Chapel street side of the hotel. The night clerk of the hotel was immediately summoned and recognized the young man as Adelbert S. Hay. There was considerable excitement about the hotel and a large body of students and graduates, who are here for the commencement exercises, soon gathered. A number of Hay's former classmates at Yale positively identified the young man.
It is believed that Hay became ill and went to the window for air, was overcome by a fit of dizziness and fell to the ground below.
Dr. Bartlett, the medical examiner, stated that the young man undoubtedly came to his death by an accident. The clothes in the bed had been turned, showing his intention to go to bed. His clothes had been folded. On the ledge of the window was found a partly burned cigarette. This discovery leads to the belief that Hay had lighted a cigarette before retiring and went to the window to smoke it. Whether, he was seized with a fit of dizziness or fell asleep on the window ledge cannot be determined.
Hon. John Hay, secretary of state, arrived in New Haven from Washington yesterday afternoon in response to the dispatch announcing the sudden death of his son Adelbert S. Hay. Mr. Hay was unaccompanied and gave signs of great grief. He entered a carriage and was driven immediately to the residence of Seth Mosely, 36 Wall street. Worn out with the long trip from the national capital and once within the walls of the house that sheltered the remains of his dead son, the secretary collapsed. His prostration was so complete that medical aid was deemed necessary and Dr. Samuel D. Gilbert was summoned.
Miss Helen Hay, daughter of the secretary, arrived in New Haven from Boston at 7:10 p. m.
Dr. Gilbert announced last evening that the illness of Secretary Hay is apparently not serious. The physician said:
"Mr. Hay is simply overwhelmed by the tragic death of his son and is suffering from a prostration which will probably be relieved by sufficient rest."

CAILLES SURRENDERS.
Turns in 650 Men and 550 Rifles—Oaths of Allegiance Administered.
SANTA CRUZ, Province of Laguna, Luzon Island, June 24.—General Cailles surrendered here today with 650 men and 550 rifles. Oaths of allegiance to the United States were administered to the former insurgents.
Colonel Caballes, who fled to the mountains with a portion of his command, likewise surrendered.
Cailles did not sufficiently control the populace to bring in all the insurgents in his district. The proceedings of surrender were orderly.
PAGE FOUR—EDITORIAL.
The Revolution Goes On.
It was only last fall that Bryan was the candidate of the Democratic party and carried the state of Virginia. But he was accepted under protest by a large number of Democrats of that state who were not Populists or Bryanites, but expansionists and advocates of business extension and commercial prosperity. There is now a constitutional convention for that state in session at Richmond, and this convention is composed mostly of Democrats. Last week a resolution was offered in this convention by one of the few remaining Bryan Populists, inviting William J. Bryan to address the convention, but it was snuffed out by an overwhelming majority. And so the revolution goes on. Bryanism is no longer popular with southern Democrats and if the Democratic party ever expects to again stand the slightest chance of coming into power it will have to drop Bryanism, Populism, cheap moneyism anti-expansionism and leave the "Anties" and all the cranks behind them and get upon a platform of live issues in which the people believe, and which have brought to the people the present great prosperity.
New Automobile in Town.
Mr. and Mrs. William Van Wagoner of Syracuse spent last night and this morning in Cortland having come down yesterday afternoon in their automobile. Mr. Van Wagoner is the principal owner of the Century Motor Vehicle Co. of that city, with which Mr. R. C. Tillinghast, formerly of Cortland, is also connected. Mr. Van Wagoner's vehicle was what is known as their No. 1 steam carriage. It is propelled by steam generated from water, the heat being furnished by gasolene. The tanks that are carried contain thirty-five gallons of water and fourteen gallons of gasolene. This amount of water will take a machine 35 miles, while the gasoline will carry 120 miles. The machine when loaded with water and gasolene, weighs about 1,000 pounds. It is capable of a high rate of speed, and rides very easily. A number of Mr. Van Wagoner's friends were treated to rides about the city.
LIGHTNING'S PRANKS.
It Cut Some Queer Capers With a New Piazza on Lincoln-ave.
There was some sharp lightning and heavy thunder in Cortland Sunday night. A thunder storm broke over the city early in the evening, but the lightning at this time was not unusual. About 11 o'clock the clouds gathered again and for several minutes sharp flashes of lightning and crashes of thunder followed each other in rapid succession. No serious damage is reported, though several places in the city were struck and a number of people were slightly affected.
At the residence of Mr. E. P. Halbert, 18
Lincoln-ave., there are marks of lightning on the new front porch and steps, on
the walk and about the lawn. Persons who were upon Lincoln-ave. at the time say
that the entire lawn appeared to be a sheet of flame. A piece of wire from one
of the trees in front of the house was found the next morning bent and twisted
into fantastic shapes by the lightning. No serious effects from the shock were
felt by the inmates of the house. The shower passed south of the city and no
rain fell here at the time.
CANDY KITCHEN SOLD.
Purchased By F. P. Barney & Co. Who Will Continue It.
The Candy Kitchen at 17 Railroad-st. which has for several years been conducted by Warner Rood and his son B. W. Rood as a confectionery and fruit store, ice cream parlor and restaurant, was this afternoon sold and possession given to F. P. Barney of Cortland and his father, C. S. Barney of Jefferson county. It will be conducted along the same lines as at present, though in the early fall the all night lunch feature will be added. The firm name will be F. P. Barney & Co. Mr. Barney has had full experience in this line of business, having tor some time conducted the Laurel cafe across the street.
Mr. Rood and son are not yet prepared to make any statement as to their future. Both will take a needed rest for the present.
Trout Put in the Streams.
Mr. James A. Wood, local representative of the state fish commission, has today caused to be placed in the streams of the eastern part of the county twenty-four ten-gallon cans of trout from the state fisheries. The streams were stocked last year and the results are being shown in a highly gratifying manner this year.

ATTRACTIONS AT THE PARK.
Merry-Go-Round—Bear—Celebration July 4—Dances Wednesday and Saturday.
The success at the park is now fairly going. There are dances each Saturday and Wednesday evening with music by McDermott's orchestra. The electric fan keeps the air cool regardless of the temperature outside. There was a great crowd there on Saturday night and all had a fine time.
The merry-go-round is now in active operation and is a source of no end of fun for the children and the older ones. It is run by electricity from the trolley wire. Mr. Hoaglin of Lisle, the owner, has had it newly painted and placed in first class order and will give his attention extensively to its operation. The music is furnished by a large organ and phonograph.
Charlie, the kind and playful bear, was today placed in a large pit prepared for him and is ready to give his attention to amusing all the children. The monkeys too are an attraction for the little people. And there is a rabbit that stands ready to put all dogs to flight. He is tame and kind and ready to be petted by his friends, but he has no use for dogs, and instead of turning and running when one appears he stands up for his rights and the dog is the one to turn tail and depart.
The management is making arrangements for a glorious celebration on the Fourth of July. The band and orchestra have been engaged for all day; and there will be dancing in plenty. A further attraction will be the display of moving pictures, and fireworks both afternoon and evening. Further particulars later.
A NEW CHEMICAL ENGINE.
Emerald Hose Co. Considering the Purchase of One Soon.
Emerald Hose Co. which is always up-to-date in matters relating to the fire department has under serious consideration the question of the purchase of a new chemical engine for its use in this city, and it is quite possible, not to say probable, that some decisive action may soon be taken. As a preliminary step it is possible that the beautiful silver show carriage which is fully conceded to be the handsomest in the world may be sold. This carriage has cost the Emerald company nearly $6,000 including the original purchase price and the improvements made upon it from time to time. If this were to be sold it would both provide the money for the purchase of the chemical and provide a place in which to keep it, for there is no room in the Emerald building for both pieces of apparatus and the regular service hose cart.
The floor could then be lowered almost to the level of the sidewalk and a stall be built for a horse to draw the chemical. Nothing positive has yet been done, but the subject is being agitated and the appearances are that some such course of procedure will be adopted in the near future.
Is Now a Registered Pharmacist.
Mr. H. B. Greenman, Jr., who has been for the past eight months attending the Albany College of Pharmacy and doing practical work in a drug store in that city, took an examination last week before the state board of pharmacy and was one of twelve out of forty-eight to pass it. He is now a registered pharmacist of the state of New York. He had previously by examination been an assistant pharmacist and a licensed druggist, but now having been admitted as a registered pharmacist he has attained the highest rank to be secured through the state board of pharmacy. He still has about six months' work to do before getting his diploma as a graduate from the college of pharmacy.
