Thornton, aged 28 years, was fatally injured in an elevator in the Hol- land building at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning. He died one hour later. Thornton was a brother of B. B. Thorn- ton of Thornton & Bush, street contractors, with offices on the sixth floor of the Hol- land building. He was, until recently, in the employ of his brother's firm. Thursday morning he called to tell that he had accepted a position with a local drill company. Mr. B. B. Thornton was out, and while the young man waited he complained of being sick. He remarked three or four times that his Christminas dinner had not agreed with him, and finally excused himself, saying he*was going to the twelfth floor. He hailed the extreme west car, in charge of Elevator Man Reynolds. When he stepped in he took a position near the front, standing before four other passenge’’s.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—Miss Je#sie Allen, a handsome young society woman of Jersey City, daughter of a well-to-do business man, disappeared in Chicago six weeks ago while ern route to North Platte, Neb., to spend the holidays wiih friends. Since then vigorous search has been be made in every section of the city by private detectives employed by the girl's relatives, but every effort to locate her has been fruitless. Mer relatives and thcse who have prosecuted the search now believe that she was kid- naped or met with other foul play. he young woman arrived Sunday, Nov. l7. She had to wait several hours for a train and, according to a letter received by her friends in the western city, lost her pocketbook. She pawned her gold watch for a small amount and tmmediately wrote to Kugene L. Haddock of Lemley, Neb., whose family she expected to visit before returning home. She informed him that she had used the money secured on her watch to rent a room in a boarding house and asked him io wire her money in care of the North- western ticket agent. Mr. Haddock at once telegraphed the money. Miss Allen failed to call Sor it and no one has heard of her since. In that let- ter she faied to give the location of her boarding house. .

Passengers Sat in Sheds Over an Hour to Force Company to Make Re- forms in Cass Ave- nue Schedule. In an effort to force the transit com- pany to improve the service on its Cass avenue division, seven men, living in the northwest section of St. Louis, remained on a car over an hour after it was sent to the sheds Thursday morning, protesting against a schedule which required them to to another car to continue their transfer journey to the business district. The company won in the tilt and the crusaders eventually were compelled to go to their offices in another car, arriving there two hours late but. they say their action will crystallize the sentiment against the serivce of the comany in northwest St. Louis. Before they separated they agreed:to cof- tinue their efforts to force the company to afford better accommodations for its pa- trens and announced that they would re- pect their experience at every opportunity. The leader in the crusade is George Mor- fun of 4813 Labadic avenue, chief c'erk in the general passenger department of the Missourl, Kansas & TJéxas Railroad and president of the St. Louis Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents. Those who remained on the car with him were C; Branch of 4816 Greer avenue, V. L. Mulhall of 3006 North Newstead avenue, H. E. Kuhl of 4586 Garfield avenue, J. F. Werremeyer of 2709 Semple avenue, J. Wolf of 4593 Maffit avenue and J. A. Lindsay of 4479A St. Louis avenue. Circumstances Were Aggrevating. “The circumstances that compelled us to revolt against the attitude of the transit the city were particularly aggravating,”’ said Mr. Morton to the Post-Dispatch. “The terminus of the Cass avenue line used to be King’s highway. Later, it was made a belt line and the terminus was exe tended to Belt avenue, a mile farther. At’ the same time, the number of cars operated on the line was reaucea, making the ser- vice miserable. eg “It has been growing worse since and the patience of the line’s patrons has been exhausted. “AS an appearance at making an effort to accommodate the heavy traffic of the morn- ing and evening a car, designated a ‘trip- per,” is run—one lone car. It runs out to Belt avenue from the sheds, goes down- town, then back to Belt avenue, where it turns and runs to the sheds. “It was this tripper we were on when our indignation manifested itself. It was on its way back from Belt avenue to the sheds, but we didn’t know anything about that. “It stopped at all the streets and took on passengers down to Prairie avenue; nothing being said either by the motorman or con- ductor about the schedule of the car re- quiring it to turn in at the sheds. “I boarded it at Euclid avenue and set- tled down in mry seat to read a paper, think- ing, of course, that we would go to the busi- néss district. Were Told They Must ‘‘Change.”’ “But when we arrived at Prairie avenue the motorman came back through the car, aying that we must change there, as the car we were on must go into the sheds. ‘There were 32 persons aboard then and the place at which we were expected to transfer was a mudhole. : “I protested to the conductor against turning in the car. He said he was power- less; that the company's schedule allowed him to Keep the car out only two hours and that he would lose his jup if he should violate it. I will give the conductor credit for being very courteous to us. “A car passed on the way downtown, but it was crowded. Some of the passengers on | our car, who were in a hurry, tried vainly to get on it. “I then announced that, if any one would stay with me, we would remain in that car until we should get some satisfaction out of the company. Six men volunteered to help me out. The other 25 passengers left the car, which was switched to the sheds after the crew became convinced that we were going to stay aboard it. “To my suggestion that the conductor telephone to the general office for permis- sion to take the ear downtown the con- ductor said he would not be passed upon to his interest. ‘Just before we started for the sheds and ¢|20 minutes after the wrangle, a car came along onto which the passengers, who had left us, were transferred. Received No Satisfaction at Shed. “When the car stopped in the shed we re- quested the motorman to ask somebody in the office to visit us and hear our com- plaint. He went to the office, returning in a few minutes with an answer that no one would take notice of us in the car. “After a few minutes we asked him to go again. He did so with the same resu)?. We then held a little indignation .meeting to determine what course we should pur- sue. It was finally determined that I should go to the office and see what could be done. Over half-an hour had been wasted up to that time. “IT found Assistant Superintendent Mana- Oh Coes Sie RLS m Pel ats ee 8 os eecee nie i * ?

Mr. Hughes received us icily. Said Service Was Good Enough. “T told him we were patrons of his road and that our action in this case had been intended to force the company to remedy its service. “His replies were to the eeffct that the service of the company was good enough. He said the conductor had acted rightly in bringing the car to the barn and that the company could see the wisdom of its schedules even if we could not, “He gave us no satisfaction on any point, although we put direct questions to him. When we finished with him, we were just where we stood when the trouble began, except he had impressed upon our minds the fact that the transit company was cap- able of taking care of itself and knew its business better than we. ‘“‘We warned him that the patience of the people might be exhausted sometime and then we ieft him. “This is only the beginning. We are going to keep up this work untii we force the company to give us the service we deserve up there. The service is poor all over the city, but those who do not use the Cass avenue line have not seen it at its worst. “The gentlemen who were with me on the car are long sufferers as I am and are determined to have a better service if it can be secured. ‘‘Some of us lost some very valuable time Thursday, but we will sacrifie a little of that and money too to secure adequate street car accommodations.”’ DEATH'S HAND WAS TOO QUICK In a Short Time Edward T. Bradford Would Have Reecived a Million Dollars for His Invention. NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—Regarding the re- port that Edward Taylor Bradford, the in- ventor and mining engineer, had succeeded in disposing of his interests in a patent smelter for over a million dollars just pre- vious to his death in this city. Alfred C. Purdy, a partner of the dead man, said: “Mr. “Bradford had perfected a smelter which decreased the expense of reducing ores by two-thirds, an Invention to waich he had devoted the greater part of his prv- fessional life. One of his smelters is in practical operation in Utah and another is being erected in the state of Washing- ton. In addition to this he was negotiating the sale of a rich mine in Alaska under. an arrangement by which he was to re- ceive a large block of stock. I was his partner, and we were negotiating with four prominent bankers. of this city. : “Mr. Bradford was a comparatively man, but I am sure that within a This of his woe is but the starter, For during all the year Of Cristmas time he'll be a martyr.

Began to Work on Safe at 8 O'Clock Christmas Night and Did Not Force It Until 12—Relief Watchman Was Also Overpowered. Safe blowers selected the peace of Christ- mas night to force the office of the big flouring mill of H. A. Prange & Son, at New Dougias, Ill. After two desperate battles they succeeded in blowing the office safe and escaping with an amount aggre- gating nearly $1500. It was between 8 and 9 o’clock when the night watchman, Henry Uhrig, stepped out to the boiler house to ask the fireman for something. The mill was shut down on account of the holiday. He returned to the mill at once and as he stepped in the door was closed behind him and he was struck on the h : It was a gianc blow and Uhrig put him- self in a position of defense. His assail- ants evidently thought that the single blow had done the work, as one of them turned on the electric light. Uhrig saw four men and they instantly closea with him. Being of powerful build, he defended himself well, but was overcome, bound and gaged and tied to a grain spout. The men went to work on the gafe and seemed to have trouble in drilling, as sev- eral hours ssed. At 12 oclock Henry Cook, the watchman, entered the mill to go on duty The surprised robbers grappled with him, and as he fought des- perately with the cane he carried, it took several minutes to overcome him and the office interior was pretty well wrecked. Cook was then dealt with as his predeces- sor had been and lashed to a post. At 2 o'clock the safe gave — and the men looted it and left. The boiler house was so far removed that the fireman knew nothing of what was going on and the men were not discovered until this morning. Sheriff Joseph Hose has gone from Ed- wardsville with a posse. AFTERWORDS I'm very glad it’s over— Christmas week; I have not been in clorer But not all the good things are over. The next Sunday Post-Dispatch is yet to come, and it will be full of interesting reading. For instance, there will be a wonderful story of a people belonging to Uncie Sam, far off in a corner of the earth, who are dying .off at the rate of 33 per cent an- nually. And they are not the Filipinos, either. The Filipinos are not being bene- volently assimilated in such Jarge packages as that, for all the Mauser bullets that go after them when they won't be good. They are a people much nearer to St. Louis than are the Filipinos, though less known to us. There was once a statesman in Missouri who was known as “the hatchet-faced boy from Pike.”’ Hatchet faces cut no ice, but the hatchet man, a band of far western exterminators, cut throats. They are the most accomplished eliminators in the world. if you acquire their hatred you are as sure to be eliminated as the sun is sure of sance is abated. They will kill you, once they set out to do it, no matter where you hide. They heve a sort of wireless tele- graph manner of snickersneeing their vic- tims. The next Sunday Post-Dispatch will put you on your guard, so that you promt offend these hatchet men. > g Oh! they slay with enickersnees, And with hatechbets they are killing Whomseoever they may please— Gore unstinted they are spilling!

They were there to witness the en- joyment of their guests at the tables on the floor, ' A woman, pale-faced and poorly clad, struggyed up the aisle carrying two babies, while two older children followed, tugging at her skirts. She was searching for a place at the crowded tables. An immaculately dressed man in one of the boxes saw the hungry and almost despairing look in her eyes, and, catching her attention, beckon«d to her. When she came close to the railing he leaned over and said: “You. will not be able to eat dinner with those babies in your arms. Hand them to me. I will take care of them ‘while you eat your dinner.” With a grateful smile she handed the babies up to him and he lifted them over the rail and into his lap. For almust an hour he held them. The ladies about smiled at him, while his male friends, in passing, good- naturedly chaffed. They were nice clean babies, even if their clothes were not of silk and muslin, and when the mother returned for them the man gave them to her reluctantly.

This conclusion is the result of the burn- ing of his beautiful tree and all his pres- ents Wednesday night, a candle having set fire to the tinsel and gauze with which it was trimmed. Carl experienced the humiliation of seeing his great fire department, with which he had promised his mamma to put out any fires in the neighborhood, reduced to ashes and scrap iron in the confiagration. Mrs. Herman Busch, Cari's mother, was painfully burned on the hands while — to throw the tree into the street, and Gus- tavus Herrmanns, who lives in the flat) above that occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Busch, and ran to Mrs. Busch’s assistance, was also severely burned. He succeeded in throwing the tree into the street. FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME. . The fire department was summoned, but the fire, which burned the curtains andj}. scorched the walls of the room, was put out by neighbors before its arrival. Mrs. Busch had just lighted the tree}' and exhibited it with its wealth of pres- ents to Carl. Both were standing before it, admiring its beauty, when the fire started. TREE IN FLAMES. In a second the whole tree was in flames. Carl ran from the room, screaming for someone to rescue his fire department from the fire.

BARTHOLDT IS _ CRITICISED Fiiends of Grenner Charge That Tenth District Congressman Went Back on Him at Last Moment. Candidates for the position of collector of internal revenue, now held by Henry C. Grenner, are springing up like mush- rooms. At the present -time there are than 20 applicants in the field. The most conspicuous of these are Jo- seph Flory, secretary of the National World’s Fair Commission; A. C. Shriner, secretary of the Republican state commit- tee: Louis P. Aloe and Fred Kriesman, cen- tral committeemen from the Twenty- seventh ward. It is also said that the friends of Wil- liam G. Boyd will try to land this plum, which is worth $4500 a year. The candidates represent all factions, but publicly they disavow that they are allied with either the Kerens or Hitchcock-Akins combination. The followers of Collector Grenner, who resigned the place at the request of Presi- dent Roosevelt, do not hesitate to express their disgust at the course of Congressman Bartholdt. They declare that the Tenth District rep- resentative assured Grenner he did not have to worry over his position; that at the proper time he would espouse his candi- no less Within a few days after this assurance was said to have been given Chas. H. Wen- neker was appointed and Mr. Bartholdt immediately preceeded, Mr. Grenner 8 friends aver, to give the selection unequive- eal indorsement and incidentally leave the impression that the choice was made with his sanction. On the other hand, the men who stood by Willam G. Boyd to the close of the fight for the port surveyorship are doing some plain talking. They seem to think that Bartholdt threw Boyd to get in his friend Gallenkamp, who, for years, was a strong competitor of Bartholdt's for the Republican congressional nomination and almost defeated him a year ago. National Committeeman Kerens does not seem to be figuring at all in the present scramble for political office, but politicians say there is no doubt he will receive due recognition before the other federal ap- potintments are made. “Brome Formalin” (Eimer & Amend) as an antiveptic, cleansing mouth and tooth- ) unsurpassed.

A short time ago the Post-Dispatch published a cartoon showing passengers of the car reading their evening papers by the light of candles which they furnished themselves. Now Herman Schmidt of 2228 North Market street, taking the hint, has rigged up a portable light by which he can read his paper in street cars that are unlighted. With his device he fastens a candle to the window frame of the car and enjoys his Post-Dispatch in spite of the lack of enough electricity to illuminate the car, When the incandescent lights in the cars of the Eighteenth’ street _iine, on which he is a daily passenger, grow dim Mr. Schmidt does not grumble in company with his fellow passengers or ask the con- ductor when the new power house will be finished. He takes his lamp from his pocket, attaches it to the window pane! nearest him and settles down to a perusal of the news of the day. C'amps to the Window Frame. Mr. Schmidt's lamp its a humble one- candle-power candle. It is fitted to a wire frame, which clamps to the window frame by a steel] spring. it furnishes sufficient light for its inven- Z = S » viii, tor and for the passenger in the seat with him. The whole-device is easily carried in the pocket. The one drawback to the success of the device is the difficulty of getting a seat on the car, but Mr. Schmidt usually accom- plishes this by boarding the car at its Starting place, Fourth and Pine streets. Mr. Schmidt is a cerpenter in the employ of the Pacific Express Co. He says that but one conductor has thus far objected to the use of the lamp in his, car, and that he was guickly silenced by the request to fur- nish sufficient light for the passengers.

B. WRAY ¢ PUES OSCSESOS OOS SOO OS Few lost laurels have ever been recov- ered—the highest point, it seems, can be reached but once in most men’s careers. Something more than one month from the present time, Terry McGovern will attempt the all-desired but seldom accomplished feat. Starting Jan. 3, in a contest with Dave Sullivan, Terry proposes to fight his ‘ay over the once trodden path of victory into recagnition by his conqueror, Young Corbett, when he hopes, by a last victory, to retrieve his fortune and name. Merely because so many have attempted the same thing, the odds are against his achievements of the undertaking. And yet there is a fair chance that the once ‘‘Terri- bie’ will again flaunt the title. McGovern is very young, is not burned out with dissipation, is ambitious and has money to exist upon iff the interval of try- ing. Doubtless he can return to the form he once possessed, with all his former strength, skill and aggressiveness. Yet he has-been whipped, and a beaten dog is always wanting in virgin effective- ness. Terry’s name, no doubt, played a part in some of his victories, and doubt- less several of his opponents were whipped before they ever started to fight. HIS CHANCE GOOD. Still, though it is now known that he is, like others, vulnerable, McGovern has a better chance to win a double victory than most of the dethroned champions of recent years. It is after all only the old question of whether the new champion is really a better man than the old. In his preparation for the first contest of the series which McGovern expects to fight before securing a match with Young Corbett, Terry will be assisted at his Hempstead Plains quarters by George Dix- on, who contributed, once, to Terry's fame by losing the championship to the Brook- lyn fighter. Two defeated champions in the same class is a spectacle that is not often wit- nessed even in these topsy turvy times. The pair will box at a Boston theater in a day or two and then retire for the work in hand. The case of Dixon is more than pathetic. Most champions, when defeated, can re- tire with the plaudits of the crowd and enough money to worry along with. But Dixon must play the willing slave to the mar. who took his honors from him—himseif SN THE BASEBALL WORLD. As surmised in this column Wednesday, Ban Johnson has killed the report that his business in Cincinnati recently concerned the establishment of an American League in the Queen City. “The report is without foundation,’ says Johnson. “There is no vacancy in the American League at the present time, even if it were possible to add that city to our circuit. ,I do not think there is a possible chance for change of membership. this year.”’ President Johnson has proven that he is wise in his time, and is not going to shake up his recently established circuit this early in its career. Neither will he start a 12- club league—there are too many to divide | profits in that game. | President Johnson is expected in St. Louts Friday morning for a conference with The story that a company was estab- lished to purchase John T. Brush's Cin- cinnati club, or to establish a rival club which will be represented In the National in place of Brush’s organization, is still being talked of in Cincinnatl Popular opin- ion there, as elsewhere, favors the retire- ment from the game of would-be dicta- tors, and if local capital should take hold of the Queen City team, it is believed it would benefit the league there. Brush is not a weakling however, and the hand of the opposition will have to be dis- it is seen how Brush can be eliminated without his own consent. SPALDING’S HOPB. Edward B.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26. —May wheat opened firm té- day, %@4c ta 4@5c higher at 824@S82%e.~ A re port stating that lack of snow protection in the southwest had adversely affected the root growth was a bullish factor. Aside from this informa- tion the crowd was inclined to be bullish, and a fair demand sent May to 82%ec dur the first hour. Local receipts (two days) were 79 cars, twe of which were contract grade. Minneapolis and Dulutn (three days) reported 1354 cars, making a total for the three points of 1433 cars, against 411 last week and 473 a year ago. Corn was quiet and steady early, balancing between the conflict- ing influences of a reported small demand fer heavy feeding and the wheat etrength. May opened prac- tically unchanged at 674%@#ic, touched 66%c and then reacted to 67\%e. Receipts were 346 ears. Oats were dull but steady, in sympathy with wheat. rl opened unchanged at 45%@45%c and sold to 45% Receipts were 297 cars.

The Christmas festivities yesterday ap- peared to be too much for thé local stock situation today, the market fgeling the hol- iday spirit of dullness with full force. There was practically nothing doing during the session and so little interest was taken in the proceedings that only a few sales were made and the quotations made outside of these sales were chiefly nominal. The price movement was neither noticeably better nor worse, such changes as really took piace. and they were few and far between, eing insignificant. The most active stock and the one chiefly in re- quest was Lincoln Trust, which was in good de- mand and sold to the extent of nearly 1 at $2.92 and $2.91. The only other trust wanted was Missouri, which sold in a small way at $174. There was only a few wine on the market for railways ey when these had deen satisfied it was impogsible to make trades. The market was fairly steady and the preferred brought $88.12% and the Transit stock $33.37% and $33 25..

Yale’s MAIR TONIC LADIFS AND GENTL#YMEN :— It affords me great pleasure to call the ad tention of the public to Mme. Yale’s Excelsior Hair Tonic, which is the first and only remedy known | & to chemistry which positively turns gray hair back | te its original color without dye. It has gone on record that Mme. Yale—wonderful woman chemist— has made the most valuable of all chemical discov- eries, Mme. Yale psrsonally indorses its action, and gives the public her solemn guaranty that it has been tested In every conceivable way and has proved , ¢ itself to be the ONLY Hair Specific. It STOPS HAIR FALLING immediately and creates a luxur- fant growth. Containg uo injurious ingredient. Physicians and chemists invited to annalyze it. Jt fis not sticky or greasy; the hair roft, youthful, fluffy and keeps it in curl. For gentlemen’ and ladies with hair a little gray, streaked gray, entirely gray and with bald heads, it is especially recommended.

LOUIS SURPRISED HIS PARISHIONERS. ane et INJURED IN SAVING A CHILD People Thought He Could Not Leave His Bed. but He Walked Into Church Christmas Morning. Rather than be disappointed in his Christ- mas* plans Rev. Father Joseph Mazotas, pastor of the Lithuanian Catholle Chureh of East Sm Louis, celebrated mass Wednes- day. on crutches. Until he walked slowly into his church Wednesday morning his parishioners had believed m still unable to leave his. bad Father Mazotas was injured a month ago in trying to save a child's life. Both his legs were broken below the Knees, His physicians promised him that he should be out by Christmas, and he made his plans accordingly. The _ fractures were slower in healing than the physicians had expected and they yronounced the priest in no eondition to 1ear mass Chrisimas day. He thought differently, however, and with the aid of his erutches heard mass. The accident in which Father Mazotas received his injury happened near Edg- mont. Father Mazotas was driving along the road when his horse became frightenev and nearly ran over a chile To save the child's life the priest used all his strength on one rein and turned the horse from the road. The swaying buggy threw him out. His foot caught on the step and he was dragged some distance. Passengers from an electric car carried him from the road, attended to his wounds und took him home After mass Christmas day his parishon- ers gathered about him with congratula- tions, telling him they had feared he might never he able to celebrate mass in the church again.

Shaw has accepted the Treasury portfolio upon the absolute condition that it shall not af- fect the position of Secretary of Agricul- ture Wilson. Gov. Shaw has leaped from local celebrity to national fame within four years, and to- uay he is as modest and as democratic as he was the day, nearly six years ago, when, at a meeting in his home town, he heard William Jennings Bryan discuss free siiver and determined on the spot to answer the speech. This he did at Denison a week later, and he continued making sound- money speeches until the close of the 159) campaign. These speeches not only made him governor of lowa, but they aJjso brought him before the nation as @ man solidiy grounded on the financial problem. Some people have criticised Gov. Shaw because of what they call.“his lack of dig- nity,’ a lack whicn has resuited in liken- ing him to-Lincoin. A visitor is as likely to find him at the State House talking with the working men making repairs there as with his official advisers. It is this democ- rucy which has endeared him to the peopie of the state and has made him invincible i olitical contests. “While Gov. and Mrs. Shaw might shrink from the social obligations of Washington official life, they are persons to do their whole duty in this respect. Their state re- ceptions have been above the standard for lowa. The Family of the New Secretary. They have been assisted by their daugh- ter, Miss Enid Shaw, who was brought out two years ago, and who is now 4at- tending ooliege at Mount Vernon, lo., Cor- nell College, a Methodist ins.itution of which Gov. Shaw has been a trustee many years, having heavily endowed it from his private, fortune. Their son Earl, 17 years old, has been a student at Culver Military Academy. He was one of a hundred or more boys who quit the institution last year after a row between the faculty and the students. Erma, aged 15, is the only child at home. Gov. Shaw is interested in the insurance business iti Des Mo.nes, in oil and rice in Texas and in automobiles in Illinois. He is part owner of a ranch of 3000 acres of $60 land in Woodbury County, this state,’ and his firm at Denison has a string of banks through western lowa. He has the finest home in Denison. May Try the Race for President. The governor has not denied that his friends have urged him and that he has considered the possibility of asking the iIn- dorsement of the Republican party of this state for PresSident in the next national convention. Gov. Shaw has been a Methodist all his life. Originating in Vermont, from Meth- odist stock, in November, 1848, he came to lowa in 1869 and worked his way through Cornell College, in this state, by selling trees. After graduation, in 1874, he worked in the harvest field and taught school, saved his money and two. years lator was admitted to the bar. In December, 1877, he married Miss Alice Crawshaw of Clinton, lo. Gov. Shaw has&-Immense respect for the winning capacity of hard work. He never rises later than 7 o'clock. He contributed to church and public pres Sade ag neg He was president of the school board for years. He was the leading man of Denison. CABINET SAL/PY 'S PIN MONEY.

It ts something over thirty years ago that I first knew Willlam McKinley, a young} practicing attorney at Canton, O. Strange as it may seem, I cannot recall the exact time or place when I first met him. r know that it was early in the seventies, and I have a recollection of being strangely attracted to the quiet and methodical law- yer. Our closer after his election to Congress and in come way I always felt a personal in his contests from time to: time. Our acquaintanceship was a_ simple growth of friendship. His splendid work in the cause of protection as a cofigressman further attracted me. This was even before he had reached prominence in Congress aS a member of the ways and means commit- tee. I never thought of the poss.biiity at that time of his becoming a candidate for the presidency, and was not especially ac- tive in politics except Insofar as exercising my influence in the interests of the Repub- lican party. Our first association was in 1880, when Ohio took a prominent part in the cam- paign in which Gartieid was elected. In 1884 Wililam McKinley was elected delegate at large to the Republican National Cupven- tion, and I was another delegate: McKin- ley was an enthusiasiic supporter of Blaine and I was for John Saerman., a we Cun- tested the delegation vigorousiy for our men. in the national convention of Isis we were present again as delegates, but this time we were both. pledged for jJonn Sherman, and it was at this time that hi made the famous speech which I felt des- tioned him as a marked man for President. IXven betore this .our friendship haw seemed to grow into something more tha. that of ordinary personal or political assv- ciates. Somehow I felt for him an affec tion that cannot be explained, and it was at*this convention that | gained an insight into the unselfish, unfaitering ya.ty wise: William McKinley gave to every cause he espoused, During that convention we occupled the fame rooms and were in conference daj and night as to the best ways and means to br.ng about the nomination of John Sherman, Ohio’s grand old man. lk sat by McKinley's side when he elo- quently demanded that his name be with- drawn for his honor's sake, and history records that he did withdraw it. lie was aiways, from his earli st politica career, such a willing worker that when i ‘emonstraied with him. he would laughingly remark, “A good soldier must always be ready for duty.”’ When He Discovered His Eligibility. His utterances in that convention are the best index to his character that I know of. and displayed in him those rare qualities of manhood'which convinced me that he was destined to become a great power in na~- tional politics. And here, for the first time, it occurred to me that he was a logical candidate for the Presidency in years to come. The condition of the country that fol- lowed the election of 1892 so clearly defined him as the one man of all Others in public ‘life to lead the Republican party) ae | felt that his nomination was assured. ~ As early as 18% I began to feel the pulse of the people; that is, the rank and file, business men, laboring men, traveling men and manufacturers, to learn how far the sentiment for McKinley had taken hold. It required only the opportunity for the ple of the northern states to express their sen- pinene on = outs ect, and a at St. oulis justifie @ expe ons his friends and admirers, and gave Le a te the correctness of their judgment in believing him to be the one man who fitted the situ- ation and insured the success of the In the management of the campaign which followed, 1 was made to a how much McKinley's strong an personality contributed to its success. How eminently serviceable was the part which he took in meeting on his porch at Canton FROM EXPOSURE WITHOUT FOOD OR FIRE NEARLY ALL WINTER.
