Besides the Loss of Life There Was Tremendous Destruction ot Property. MOGOLLON, N. M., Aug 20.—A terrible cloudburst struck this place about 4 p. m. yesterday, leaving death and destruction be- hind it. John Knight, a miner, who resided at Georgetown, was drowned in his cabin. Several others are reported missing, but eo far only two bodies, those of Knight and an unknown Mexican, have been recovered. These were found in a field about six miles below. About 100 families have been rendered homeless and 30 houses washed away. Prop- erty of the Colonial Mining Co. of Boston, Mass., has suffered to a large extent, the assay office, mill house, powder house and blacksmith shop being washed away. It is feared the mine is filled with mud and water. The manager and assayer had a Marrow escape, being assisted to the bank by means of ropes, The Deep Down Mining Co. of Kansas City lost their main office and assay office. The place is situated in a deep canyon be- tween high mountains. The flood attained a height of over eight feet in the street and lasted over thirty minutes. Had its continuance been ten minutes longer the whole town would have been swept away, as the debris had collect- ed in the street, forming a solid wall, just as the flood began to recede. Hardly a busi- ness house in the town escaped damage. The wagon road leading up the mountain to the town which was built a few years ago at immense cost, and which is the only outlet for freighters, has been entirely ruin- ed, and all goods brought into the camp will have to be brought in on pack animals. The storm was general through this sec- tion of the territory. Advices from Graham state that at about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a cloudburst on the mountain side caused a flood at the Confidence mine, a property belonging to the Helen Mining Co. of Denver, Colo., situated about three miles from there. The flood carried away the shop ahd supplies of the mine. Nine horses that were at the ore chutes loading ore for the mill were washed over the steep precipice and killed. The men working at the tunnel barely escaped with their lives. It is feared that great damage is done on the other side of the Mogollon district. Nothing definite can be learned on account of telephone commnuication being broken. It is feared that the loss of life around Mogollon will be much greater than first reports makeit. There were at least twenty persons, mostly miners, living right in the track of the great wall of water. They occupied, for the most part, adobe dwell- ings. These have been swept away and their occupants cannot be heard from. Some of these may have been warned in time to get out of the way, but it is certain that a number have perished. The loss to the mining companies will amount to thousands of dollars. Expen- sive machinery had lately been put in the mines, and much of this is a total wreck. COCKRELL'S DATES. The Senator Offers His Services to the Party Despite the Serious III- ness of His Son. Senator F. M. Cockrell, the eloquent Missourian who has done so much for the cause of silver in the United States Senate, reported to the Democratic State Commit- tee Thursday morning for his share of the campaign wo Senator Cockrell has rendered the rty yeoman service in Missouri and will de- vote all his time between now and election day to the canvass. He is a tireless worke and in cam ns does not find it difficult to fill two appointments in different piaces the Same day. 3 You will have to excuse me from dis- cussing the status of the campaign,’’ he said to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘because I real- ly know nothing about it.

HOARDIN mont G GOLD. The Scarce Metal Safety Vaults. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSBURG, Fa., Aug. 20.—Many people in Pittsburg have been hoarding gold for weeks. The bankers have tried to keep the fact secret lest the scare increase, but the movement has become 80 prominent that it is impossible to conceal it longer. Individuals having capital have been sending to banks in New York and else. where asking for gold coin. The desire to lay in a store of the yellow metal has grown so intense that a premium has been asked. Within the last week it is esti- mated that fully $100,000 in gold been brought to this city at a cost of from 1 to 1% per cent premium, in additien to the express charges. This money is deposited in private boxes in various trust com- panies of this city and Allegheny. One man deposited $25,000 in a Pittsburg safety vault Tuesday. ANOTHER VICTIM. Thomas Allen Was Knocked Down and Almost Killed by a Sixth Street Electric Car. to Cover in Another victim was added to the reckless- ness of a motorman on the Carondelet Elec- tric car line Thyrsday about noon. Thomas Alien, a colored man, 42 years old, while walking across the street on Broad- way, between Carr and Biddle, with a heavy load of carpeting on his head that almost obscured his sight, was struck by car No. 102, Knocked down and dragged about thirty feet, and the life almost crushed out of him. The car was making the turn from Broad- way on to Sixth street, and was running at arapid speed. Tho fender struck the negro ust below the knees and rolled him under t, carrying him | for several before the wheels rolled over him. breaking the bones and tearing the flesh of the left arm into shreds. His legs were also badly lacerated, but the bones of neither were broken. Besides these painful injuries his head and face were badly bruised and gash- ed as he was dragged over the rough bowld- ers. An ambulance brought Allen to the City Dispensary, where Dr. Thompson bound up the. wounds and hurried the injured man to the City Hospital. Dr. Thompson said the arm would have to be amputated near the shoulder. He also fears that Allen’s internal injuries will, with the external ones, cause his death. Allen was conscious when be, reached the Dispensary, and said that the roll of carpet which he was carrying to his .home, in the rear of 1227 North Eighth street, hung down so far that he did not hear the car approach and that it was impossible for him to see except directly in front of him. He the car must have been coming at full epeed, for the first thi he knew he was being pushed and roll along under the fender, and struggling to keep his head out of the way. He had almost jerked himself from under the car sideways when the wheels dashed over his arm. Officer O’Brien saw the negro as the car struck him and rushed to his assistance, but the car had passed over him before he reached him. He took the name of the conductor and motorman and they went on south as if nothing had happened. The conductor is Henry Stahl, and the motor- man Peter Hannigan. FILLEY PLUNKS. A Disgusted and Mournful Crowd of Republicans Left Behind at Chillicothe. yards Special to The Post-Dispatch. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., Aug. 20.—Chauncey I. Filley, disgusted and out of humor with the rank failure of his grand State opening, “pulled his freight“ last night and returned to St. Louis. After announcing that there would be speech making to-day, and leav- ing the impression that he would remain to watch the ice freeze, he quietly packed his grip and left. To-day Chillicothe is almost deserted. The Cameron brass band and Orators John J. Bothwell of Sedalia, W. H. Leeper of Cald- well and Congressman George C. Crowther of St. Joseph are about all that are left, save the townspeople, who are more dis- = than ever over Filley’s desertion of em. The band plays now and then, and in the intervals the sad-voiced orators talk to empty benches over in the big tent. Robert E. Lewis and all the State candi- dates have gone and there is in the air here and hereabouts a murky smoke, which threatens discord in Republican ranks Filley has not succeeded in pacifying the candidates, who think they are being bun- — Ray the management of the State cam- . 4 BATTLE WITH BURGLARS. Two Get Fatal Wounds After Mortally Shooting a Merchant. BEDFORD STATION, N. Y., Aug. . Walker B. Adams of this place is lying at the point of death as a result of an encounter with four burglars. Two of the burglars were captured, having first been wounded by Adams’ son, William, who was himself struck by a pisto] ball, which, however, glanced off from a sus- ender buckle. Adams’ store is provided with a burglar alarm connected with his house. Shortly after midnight the alarm sounded, and Adams and his son, arming There they were met by four burglars, who at once opened fire. The elder Adams was shot in the head and he fell to the ground. The son was commanded by the burglars to throw up his hands. He made a move as if he in- tended to comply with the command, When he suddenly raised his Winchester and fired in rapid succession, wounding two of the burglars, who fell within a few feet of where the elder Adams lay. Young Adams continued to fire, and the two burglars emptied their revolvers at him. Both the wounded burglars were shot in the abdomen, and neither of them oan recover. They refuse to say anything as to their identity. The elder Adams cannot survive his wounds. Gold for America.

PRESSURE, REPUBLICANS AND BOLTING DEMOCRATS MUST “PUT UP.” MORE CASH IS NECESSARY. -——— — — The Big Boss Assures the Plutocrats That It Will Take Tremendous Exertions to Win. Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Chairman Hanna threw a mighty scare into the Republican leaders yesterday. Although he wore a smiling face and openly said everything was going well, he brought the news for the Eastern members of the Executive Commit. tee that the outlook for McKinley is far from satisfactory. Mr. Hanna will not for ome moment con- cede defeat in any of the States that go to make up the battle-ground, but he told every friend with whom he talked pri- vately that the ticket could only be elected by the most tremendous exertions, con- tinued every day from now until Novem- ber 3. The great battle-ground, as the Republi- cans see it, is compact. It includes the States of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ken- tucky. The roseate reports about Illinois conceded by the Republicans to have been ut out for the benefit of the marines. Un- ess the situation changes between now and October they confess no man will be able to tell with confidence in his prediction how Illinois will vote. Mr. Hanna talked plainly to his confi- dants. One of them later said that in Michigan Republican leaders and news- papers have bolted McKinley in favor of free silver. The Republicans have no State organization worthy of the name. So use- less is it that Chairman Hanna is about to direct his energies to creating some sort of Republican machine in Michigan. Im Indiana, too, the Republicans are all at sea. State Chairman Gowdy refuses te make any prediction as to how the State will go. The Republicans are more hopeful about Iowa, but confess that Wisconsin and Min- nesota will have to be fought for with great energy. In both States much depends upon the exertion of the boiltifig Democruts, and the Republicans are using every energy to keep their lines intact and get back the farmers into the party. It is said that the statement of the situation was communicat- ed to the Wall street leaders and bolting Democrats with an implied intimation that more cash would be acceptable. WILL MOVE TO LAMAR. Chairman Rozelle to Change the Pop- ulist Committee Headquarters. Chairman Rozelle of the State Populist Committee is considering the advisability of removing the State headquarters to La- mar. He has a newspaper and other in- terests in that city, and believes the work of. the committee can be directed as effect- ively from that quarter as it can be from St. Louis. He said Thursday that unless some unfor- seen gbstacle presented itself, he would pack up the committee records at the St. James Hotel and move to Lamar. Regarding the many stories circulated re- ardin fusion deals with the Democratic State ‘ommittee, he said he had held no conferences with Chairman Cook. have met Mr. Cook socially.“ he said, ‘but there has been no discussion of any lan. Concerning the proposition of Mr. ivingstone, our Congressional nominee in the Fourteenth District, you can say I- would like to see his proposition to Mr. Vandiver, the Democratic candidate, accepted. It is better for the silver cause not to divide the votes in such districts and thereby elect Re- publicans, Mr. Livingstone proposes a with- drawal of either candidate in favor of the — the two committees to settle the estion. OO ARY agreement Mr. Cook and I should make would, of course, have to be rati- fied by our respective committees. “ In a fusion the Populist party would expect the indorsement of their nominees in some of these districts, which would be only right and fair. Whether such an agreement can be reached is more than I can say at this time.“ DUFFY GAVE HIS SKIN. Hospital Patient Makes a Great Sacri- fice to Save a Boy. John C. Duffy, a patient at the City Hos- pital, gave the highest proof of friendship Wednesday by allowing twenty square inches of his skin to be grafted on the legs of John Hickey, a boy who was burned by gasoline. Duffy, who had an eye trouble, was touched bythe boy’s cries of pain and he asked Dr. Sutter what was the matter with him. The doctor explained Hickey’s affliction and said that he could not recover unless skin was grafted to his burned legs. Duffy volunteered to make the sacrifice and he and Hickey were placed side by side on operating tables. Hickey was put under the influence of chloroform, but Duffy re- fused to take any anaesthetic, and with Spartan indifference to pain, allowed the physicians to cut from his thighs 146 pieces of skin. Hickey is now expected to re- COMMITTED SUICIDE. W. W. Wood, a Leading Attorney of Austin, Tex. Special to The Post-Dispatch. AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. M. -W. W.

The Texas State Demogratic Convention finished its work last night and adjourned sine dle. The platform is long and devoted mostly to State affairs. On national questions it is as follows: . We indorse the principles of the De- mocracy as set forth in the platform of the National Convention, which convened at Chicago, July 7, and pledge to William J.

It empowered the incoming Execu- ive Committee to later on give the public its reasons for so doing. 1 The Ticket. Charles A. Culberson . Jester rt M.

It has accomplished all that could be done at the present time In arranging for head- uarters here and branch headquarters in shicago. It was decided that J. R. Sovereign should be assigned to the Chicago headquarters, which will be under the management of Mr. Washburn of Massachusetts. Chairman Butler, of coursé, will be in charge here and will glve is whole attention to the cam- paige. r. Butler will be assisted by Secretary Edgerton, who will be here during most of the ca gn. G.

Mr. Butler said to-day that the class of literature which was to be sent out has not « been decided upon. As far as possible ocuments which can be franked will be 22 out, These include speeches by Popu- sts in Congress and some of Tom at- n’s will be among the number selected. e of the literature being sent out by the spemocratic Committee and o by the Mer Committee will be distributed.

We \ have no rich men to make large contribu- tions for compalgn expenses, expect we ili have to make a sam pelge like others we have made in the South, where we have managed with very little money.“ Chairman Butler will enter into corre- epondence with Populist leaders and with free silver leaders in various parts of the country at once and endeavor to effect an adjustment of all existing difficulties which will bring the supporters of silver and Bry- an into harmonious action. The Silver party and the Populist party are to-day moving into headquarters wi Democratic party in the Wormle The rooms occupied by the l- ver an opulist parties are being put in order for their occupation.

As he meeting will probaly decide upon the policy to be pursued by the organization, a full attendance is expected. There are two principal questions before the Nebras- ka gold standard Democrats. The first is, what shall be their attitude to the In- dianapolis convention and the third party movement? On this there is some differ- ence of opinion, but the sentiment seems to be overwhelmingly opposed to sending a delegation to Indianapolis or participat- ing in the work of nominating a third ticket. On the second question of puttin a gold standard Democratic State ticke in the field, the sentiment is said to be pretty much the same. MAN-TO-MAN CANVASS. Republican Managers Trying to Find How They Stand. CHICAGO, Aug. 0. — Republican managers will endeayor to find out every Republican who intends to vote for Bryan and every Democrat who intends to vote for McKinley. This immense task will be undertaken by the 20,000 organizations of the National League of Republican clubs. The actual work will begin next week, although the officials at the national head- uarters of the league have been preparing or it several months. It is expected that this canvass will cover every county in the country and that when it is completed the Republican managers will know exactly where they stand on both the money qués- tion and presidential candidates. a starter 10,000 letters of instruction will be mailed to-morrow.

DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 20.—A dissolution of the legal partnership of Don M. Dickin- son, H. T. Thurber and Elliott G. Steven- son is announced to take place on Sept. 1. The announcement is of interest, not only as involving a change in the relations of gentlemen who are recognized as standing among the foremost at the bar of Michigan, but as possessing great political cance.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 20.—Chas. K. Holliday, Police Commissioner for Topeka, and the man who ran against D. Martin for Chief Justice last fall, has written a letter for publication, in which he makes some remarkable estimates of the strength of the Order of the Mystic Brotherhood, the organization which has the resubmis- sion of the liquor amendment for its ob- ject. He says: , “The O. M. B. ig non-political. Of the 100,000 members in tHe State no one has been questioned as to his politics, There are probably 50,000 Republicans, 25,000 Dem- ocrats and 2,000 Populists, who are mem- bers in good standing. These members will meet in Grand Lodge session some time in September, and there and then decide for whom they will vote for Governor. At this meeting of the Grand Lodge, ample oppor- tunity will be given Gov. Morrill and Sen- ator Leedy to explain themselves. The one who makes the best explanation will re- ceive the O. M. B. vote, and will be elected. As to the members of the Legislature and other county officers, the local lodges will take care of the The order is strong enough to elect or at any candidate for office, as the ord¢ will demonstrate in November.“ a Speaking of the strength of the order in Shawnee County, Mr. Holliday says: One lodge in Topeka had 663 members up to the night of Aug. 15, and by this time it has 700. With this lodge meets another which has 25 members. The other seven- teen lodges have memberships varying from 250 to 500 each. The order includes men of all classes—bankers, merchants, mechanics, farmers, laboring men, cierks, and now and then a minister who does not believe in the prohibition racket.“ THINKS HE WAS BUNCOED.

LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 20.—Frank Biles, a half-breed Indian from the Nez Perces res- ervation, was taken from the Asotin jail last night and hanged by a mob of indignant citi- zens. His crime was the criminal outrage of Miss Mary Richardson, a young woman 17 years of age. Miss Richardson, whose home is in Enterprise, Ore., was in delicate health and had been visiting friends in this ‘icinity. Yesterday she started from Lew- ston for Asotin on horseback unattended. On the road she was overtaken by Biles and two Indians from the reservation and as- saulted. Last night at 11 o’clock a band of about thirty citizens marched to the jail d de- manded the keys of the jailer. The Sheriff refused to comply and the keys were taken from him by force. They then went to the jail, unlocked the door and took out the prisoner. Across one corner of a fence a long pole was laid. A rope was tied around his neck and the other end thrown over the pole and the Indian hanged. . RESCUED FOUR WOMEN. Joseph Reynolds the Hero of the Hour at Asbury Park. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Lot of Boys’ and Girls’ Waists, in- cluding the best makes, DR. KR. MORGNER. Mre. Trunell was preparing to depart from St. Louis. Tuesday evening she left the Moser Hotel, where she lodged while in St. Louls. She told the clerk that she was going to Joplin, Mo., but expected to return in a few days. , ‘At Joplin are the lead and zinc mines to which Mrs. Trunell claims title, and which she declares are valuable producers. At Joplin, too, are persons who, like the erratic Dr. K. Mo er, assert that they were far better producers than the mines while under the peou influence of the woman, who says she was formerly a vendor of patent medicines. Mrs. Trunell’s history was partially told by herself in a recent issue of the Post- Dispatch. Her autobiography was called forth by the c her by Dr. Morgner’s wife that Mrs. Tru- nell had placed the physician under a mes- meric spell, and while she had him charmed ewindied him out of the row of flats be- ginning at 2800 Chouteau avenue. Since then others have related the his- tory of Mrs. Trunell, adding detaile to her own narrative, which if they do not enhance its historic *value form a story that reads like fiction, These details include a full and startling statement from Dr. K. Morgner of his deal- ings with the woman. ccording to these Mrs. Trunell’s peculiar career dates from 1889, when she was a resi- dent of Louis ansas ty and Chi- cago, to say nothing of Joplin, Mo., have known her since that time, and it is stated that she succeeded in establishing a varie- gated record in each of these cities. She was ay, assisted by her daughters and some male confederates. F The revised history of Mrs. Trunell names St. Leuls as the field of operations after leaving r where she had se- cured a divorce from Mr. Van Arsdale. In Mrs. Trunell’s autobiography she disclaims the possession of the mystic powers of clairvoyance. ~* When she first located in St. Louis it was as the “Only Great and True Clairvoyant Living.” In that line she drove a thriving business Until 1892, when she went to Kansas City. One incident is narrated of her sojourn in St. Loula that is remarkably similar to subsequent transactions in other cities, in- — that which involved the ingenuous nd confiding Dr. Morgner: Early in 1891, as the story goes, e F.

One of Mr. Lake's letters was published in the Joplin Herald of July 31. In it Lake charged Mrs. Trunell with having drugged him before he put up the #00. The account of the process was very circumstan- tial. George A. Haggerty, President of the White River Valley & Western Railway Co., was in Joplin during Mrs. Trunell's sojourn. He was originally from Boston, Mass. He bought a large interest in the Osceola mine, and was made Superintendent. His duties consisted in paying bills and walking to the mine daily and looking in. Haggerty had been pretty well squeezed when a $10,000 slander suit was instituted against him by Mrs. Lilly Fagin, one of Mrs. Trunell’s alleged nieces. This suit was rtially heard by Judge Crdycroft at Joplin on June 27. Mrs.. Fagin was placed on the stand and stated that although less than 21 years old, she had two living husbands. Her father, she said, was Luke Van Arsdale. moran Craycroft asked where her mother ved, Mrs. Fagin entered into a twenty-minute consultation with her attorney and then re- fused to answer. e was forced to answer and admitted that Mrs. Stella Trunell was her mother. ‘ Further questions caused Mrs. Fagin to al- most faint and court was adjourned. That night Lily Fagia — 21 The issuance of a bench warrant failed to result in a discovery of her whereabouts. At the same time George A. Haggerty was making trouble for Mrs. Trunell. He filed a number of civil suits and caused her ar- rest on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses and of using the United States mail to defrau@. Mrs. Trunell was discharged in each case, Several days afterwards Haggerty was as- saulted by one Mike Marrs. Several eer. sons testified, it is alleged, that they had roached by Mrs. Trunell with the proposition that they throw Haggerty into a mining shaft. Mrs. Trunell then left Joplin. She went to Kansas City. Last April Dr. K. Morgner of 2800 Chou- teau avenue decided that his health de- manded a change of air. row of flats and drug store in his wife's hands, he went to Kansas City, arriving there May 1. He saw Mrs. Trunell’s advertisement in A paper and answered it. He visited Mrs. Trunell in her temporary office in the New York Life building. Subsequent events are fully related by Morgner in a letter received in St. Louis. He states that Mrs. represented herself as a phy- and a wealthy widow, owner of many valuable lead and zinc mines, which she desired to exchange for income a i erty on account of ill health. She rang in the coffee plantations in Mexico, gold mines in Colorado and all the rest. Dr. Morgner states he had a very pleas- ant chat wit her, which was repeated daily. D:.

HOPS %, SCHOO HODOEOOEEE — — Leaving his . ü — — in a terrible mental and physical con- on,“ Then suspicion began to gnaw at Dr. Morgner‘s vitals. He had heard a great Meal, but when he was in Mra. Trunell’s presence he was under such strong hypnotic influence that his suspicions fied. At the Moser Hotel he drew up the papers in such a way, he states, that he ‘“‘clinched”’ the fair Stella and left himself an oppor- tunity to prosecute her. After the deed was closed, Mrs. Trunell went to Joplin. Then came the arrest at Haggerty's instigation. Dr. Morgner himself visited Joplin, and he states that Haggerty told him that Mrs. Trunell had succeeded in hyp- notizing even him. Dr. Morgner had a fight with Haggerty, who called him a liar when he charged Haggerty with having tried to swindle Mrs. Trunell out of one of her mines. Then Morgner learned that he and Hag- gerty were in the same boat. He also found that all of the Osceola mine that Mrs. Tru- nell owred was the atmosphere above it. Dr. Morgner taxed Mrs. Trunell with her perfidy. B She flew into a passion and borrowed $5 from him to pay her gas bill. On another occasion she borrowed a dol- lar from him, he says, to buy chickens. Mrs, Trunell finally proposed to turn over some mines at Carterville or return the deeds to the flats. Morgner chose the lat- ter alternative, but while awaiting their re- turm from Kentucky foolishly called on Mrs. Trunell and was hypnotized by her into ac- cepjing the mines. On July 30 Morgner had made out some of the new deeds. He was at Mrs. Trunell's house in Joplin and states that he became overcome by heat. He went into an attic room to recever. While there he noticed a note on the floor. The note was addressed to Stella.“ It was signed Mike, and directed Mrs, Trunell how they were to manage Morg- ner and induce him to close the deal. Morgner put the note in his pocket and left the house, On July 30 Morgner left Joplin for Kan- sas City. On August 3 his wife wrote him that Doherty had been to inquire for him, Doherty had assisted Mrs. Trunell, ac- cording to Morgner, in her schemes with him. Morgner had met Doherty on the train to Kansas City, and had told him he was going to St. Louis to prosecute Mrs. Trunell. Mrs. Trunell had arrived in St. Louis when Mrs. Morgner, pursuant to her hus- band’s instructions, applied last Thursday for a warrant against Mrs. Trunell. Since then Mrs. Morgner and Lawyer John O. Marshall have been collecting evi- dence preparatory to causing. Mrs. Tru- nell’s arrest. The latter's departure from the city Tuesday night interfered some- what with their plans. Dr. Morgner states that he expects im- rtant developments, the nature of which — refuses to disclose. Mrs. Morgner was racked by the fear while he was gone that Dr. Morgner would again come under the hypnotic influence of Mrs. Trunell. Wabash to Cleveland and Return $15, August 22, 2 and NA.

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION. Great Britain’s Chief Justice Indicates Objections to a Permanent Peace Tribunal. SARATOGA, N. T., Aug. 20.—Over 4,500 people assembled in Convention Hall to listen | to the address of Lord Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of England, on “Inter- national Arbitration,“ before the American Bar Assocéation. It was one of the most distinguished audiences that ever gathered here. When Lord Russell entered the hall he was greeted with hearty applause, and as he ascended the platform the ovation increased and was more demonstrative. Besides Lord Russell, there were grouped on the platform United States Supreme Court Judge Rufus W. Peckham, United States Attorney General Harmon, New York Court of Appeals Judge Bartlett, Hon. Courtland T. Parker, of New Jersey, United States District Court Judge Coxe, Hon. J. Randolph Tucker of Virginia, Hon. Henry Hitchcock of St. Louis, Hon. Wm. Allen Butler of New York, Hon. Edward J. Phelps of Vermont, Hon. James C. Carter oft New York, Hon. Nathan L. Shipman of Connecticut, Bishop John P. Newman and Sir Francis Lockwood and Montague Crack- enthorpe. The President of the association, Moore- field Storey of Boston, on presenting Lord Russell, said: “IT have now the very great pleasure not of introducing, for he needs no introduction to any English-speaking lawyer, but of presenting to you Lord Russell of Killowen, the Lord Chief Justice of England, who will deliver the annual address on the subject of ‘International Arbitration.“ Lord Russell prefaced his words with a modest, but handsome, acknowledgment of the loving and hearty welcome with which he was honored on this occasion. He then said in part: In Ris paper before the section of legal education of the American Bar Associa- tion, the Hon. Randolph Tucker, of Vir- oat, considered what is the best training or the American bar of the future, He maintained: 1. That the lawyer, as a minister at the bar of justice, must be trained to believe his employment is a public duty, primarily to God and his coun- try; not a mere vocation for private wealth or honor; and that his functions as lawyer or judge are to be performed for the pro- motion of truth gee 7s, ene for the de- 7 lsehood and W , 2 The lawyer should have liberal culture. „ As law is a historic science, the stu- dent must be taught, and should learn the history of legal science; and should be Gatry Bros.’ Wash Fabrics.

Constitutional law is a special theme for the lawyer of the United States, for in the integrity and supremacy of these con- stitutions over men and States and Gov- ernments, State and Federal, depend the perpetuity of our Union and the prosperity of our liberties as men. “How long shall we study? I concede three years is better than two and two than one. I admit one year, two years, is too short a period for such a course; nay, 1 would prefer four or five years to three.“ “Friend as I am of peace, I would yet affirm that there may be even greater calamities than war—the dishonor of a na- tion, the triumph of an unrighteous cause, the perpetuation of hopeless and debasing tyranny. It behooves all who are friends of peace and advocates of arbitration to recognize the difficulties of the question, to examine and meet these difficulties and to discrimin- ate between the cases in which friendly arbitration is and in which it may not be practically possible. “Arbitration will not cover -the whole fleld of international controversy, and until the great powers of the world in e bind themselves to coerce a recalcitrant member of the family of nations, we have still to face the more than possible disre- gard by powerful states of the obligations of good faith and of justice. The scheme of such a combination has been advocated, — the signs of ita accomplishment are absent. BUCK NELSON’S CASE. n He Will Be Bagished on a Charge of Idling.

In outlining the issues of the campaign, Mr. Bland shows that it involves far more than the question of reforming the cur- ren¢y, important as that is. A stand for popular sovereignty has been made, bold- er, more determined, more aggressive than, any Democrats have made since the campaigns of Jefferson and Jackson. Is- gue has been joined with plutocracy. Hesitation, timidity, double-dealing have been cast to the winds. The plutocratic politicians who have sought to make a tool of the Democratic party have been driven out, of it and at last we have squarely presented the question of wheth- er money privilege or manhood right is to he the basis of government in America. We have undoubtedly reached “the parting of the ways.” In 1800 Jefferson led his “Jacobins” and “Red Repfb- licans”’ against the same element which now asserts that property ought to be supreme in government, that the inter- ests of money and of those who control it ought to be consulted as the chief end of government and that the mere rights of the man who has no capital except his capacity to work are not to be considered where property interests are involved. Jefferson won a sweeping victory, but the same question of property against man- hood urred again a quarter of a century later, when Jackson had been raised up as a leader for the masses. nder Jackson, as now, the immediate cause of a great struggle in which the people were victors—as they will be now—was the attempt at corporate con- trol of the issuance and circulation of money. Jackson found that as a result 1 total money circulation of Mexico is but of this attempt the Government itself was little more than half of ours. Our per being subjected to plutocratic control. capita circulation is more than $20. That He never claimed to be a financial ex- of Mexico is less than $12. What, then, pert, but when he found the national accounts for thé fact that the coinage bank controlling not only the currency value of the Mexican silver dollar is not | of the people, but their Congress as well, equal to that of the silver dollar of the | he knew that popular liberties were at United States? Its bullion value is greater. Its money value, as compared > |. with that of the United Sates, has not | been depreciated by inflation. Mexico is a single silver standard coun- try. She makes no more effort to main- tain a parity between her currency and 3 gold than we used to make when we were trading $2.12 in paper for one of . gold, and then not because we needed the line. „ gold in our business or cared much about it.“ The exchange of currency is the measuring of the value of silver at its gold price and noi at its money value in Mexico. Mexico is a comparatively insolvent country. Her national debt per capita is greater than her national wealth per cap- ita. These figures tell the whole story of comparative money depreciation. But they do not tell the story of present Mexican development, of the railroad building in progress there, of the opening of new territory, the employment of ma- chinery, the growth of manufacturing and the revival of agricultural industry. If the Globe-Democrat is to describe Mexican industrial and financial condi- tions we shall expect not only the truth, but the whole truth. — — : i— — THE CHILDREN’S HOME SOCIETY. On the face of things, the condition of there surely must be another side to the story. It cannot be that, after collecting enough money to live like lords and then o away to the mountains and the sea- side, the Superintendent and District Pre e they and fooled!

Tennison is of St. Louis must not wait r. Tennison returns untll stake, and though the national bank was considered omnipotent in politics, he need- ed only to be convinced of his duty as an American to attack it with the same determined courage which characterized every action of his life. It was with the inspiration of this cour- ‘age that the Democratic party at Chicago made its assault on plutocracy all along Not only was national bank control of the currency denounced and the issue made by Jackson thus renewed, but an issue of not less importance was made when the party opposed itself to the revolutionary doctrine of the modern plutocracy that trial by jury can be suspended and that American citizens who have been arrested without warrant ]. can be held in prison at the arbitrary pleasure of a corporation attorney on the Federal bench, who through the new plutocratic doctrine of contempts makes himself greater than the law, more pow- erful than Congress, more potent than the people, who are supposed to be the source of all power. Had there been no question of coining silver to take the place of national bank notes, this alone would have driven every plutocrat out of the Democratic party. How could William C. Whitney, Perry Belmont, George Gould, Russell Sage, J. Plerpont Morgan, or any other believer that the right of money jo rule is supreme, pardon such an attempt as this to wrest from their hands the keys of American jails and to restore the supremacy of laws under which the lib- erty of the citizen is made the first and highest consideration of the State? No party in American history has been bolder or more aggressive in the declara- tion of its principles than the Democracy was at Chicago: It was not false to its opportunities. And they were undoubt- edly great. For a quarter of a century the plutocracy which fattened on the popular suffering produced by the civil war has grown richer and more arrogant 1 its determination to rule the country. While civil war sectionalism governed in politics, it was impossible to force issues or to assert the strength of genuine Dem- ocracy. But at last the civil war is over. Civil war issues are out of politics. Kan- sas and South Carolina no longer repre- sent opposing extremes. Americans no longer divide along Mason and Dixon's line. A new political epoch has begun and at the very front in the battle for humanity is the party which followed Jefferson and Jackson to victory—which would now follow Lincoln. were he alive to lead it, as he certainly would do, in its support of its vital principle that man- hood right, not money privilege, must govern in America. ie m.. 8 4 WALL STREET AND THE PEOPLE. The Wall Street Democrats of Illinois have issued an address to the Democrats of that State which is sent under seal to such of them as are believed to be guilty and open to conviction. The circular arraigns the Chicago plat- |\form for many things; in fact, for every- thing. One count in the general indict- ment will, héwever, serve to indicate the character of all. In fact, the one com- prises and expresses ali. The other pregnant propositions of the platform,” Say the Wall Street I ocrats of Il nois, “are vordix to, and are in- tended to ald that bh is designed ax the paramount one, and are such as, if carried into effect, auld remove exist- ing legal and constitutional barriers to impulses, win 1 4 * 8 „ * aes “ey PRO Pade 4 . } grew. not the qualities which Wall Street considers necessary.to a proper administration of public affairs. “Popular impulses” :nust be guarded against by the erection of “Tegal and constitutional barriers.” That is the’spirit of Wall Street politics. It “popular impulses” are not to rule in @ popular government, what is? It was @ popular impulse which forced the war out of which the Government itself stitution. No great law, marking an ad- | vance m our national life, has ever gone into the statutes without a popular im- pulse behind it. It is not strange that Democrats hold- ing the view that parties and govern- ments are organized to restrain “popular impulses” should refuse to be controiled by the majority in the Chicage conven- tion. For that convention represented one of the most “popular impulses” in our history. Wall Street wants to know what Bryan means by “the parity between money and property,.“ when he demands its restora- tion. He means, for one thing, that when Wall Street forces up the price of gold by cornering it, it forces down the prices of labor and of all property produced by labor. And one of the things that the American people are going to do in the immediate future is to restore the parity by forcing labor up and gold down. The gold standard puts down the value of all the homes that are being bought through the building associations of the country. If silver is not remonetized, those who are paying for their homes in building associations will find them worth less after eight years than at the be- ginning. i Why should Wall Street holders of mortgages in Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Iowa walt until after Novem- ber to carry out their threats of punishing us for the election of Bryan? They are wasting valuable time! Let them begin foreclosing at once! , —, - Ex-Fusionist and present Confusionist John M.

Battenberg’s Daughter Favored in the Will of the Ex-Empress. LONDON, Aug. %.—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Paris says it is stated that the will of ex-Empress Eugenie, drawn re- cently, favors her namesake, Eugenie, the daughter of the late Prince Henry of Bat- tenburg and Princess Beatrice. EX-Em- press Eugenie of France and Princess Beat- rice of England, widow of Prince Henry of Battenberg, have been friends for many years, and this drawing of the will, since the death of her son, the Prince Imperial, while fighting in Z luland in 1879, in the service of the English, will create little surprise eitherin England or France. Prin- cess Beatrice during recent trips to the continent paid an extended visit to ex- Empress Eugenie. The daughter of Prin- cess Beatrice, Eugenie, will thus be placed in the unique position of being the benefi- clary ef the wills of two Queens, Queen Victoria having recently bequeathed, it is said, the bulk of her private savings, amounting to £1,500,000, to Princess Beatrice, her favortte daughter, together with Os- borne and Balmoral, both residences being the private property of the royal mother.

We are therefore pleased to announce that modern research in medical science has at last produced a certain cure for them and as usual with al great and meritorious in- ventions, is sifple and the only wonder is a such a remedy was not discovered and sed years before. The remedy we refertois known as the Pyramid Pile Cure, it is not an ointment nor a salve, liquid nor internal remedy, but is applied directly to the seat of the disease and produces acure in a surprisingly short space of time. For itching piles a few applications pro- duces a complete cure, while for bieeding, protruding and all other forms of rectal dis- eases its use will result in & permanent cure even in cases where an operation has felled, The Pyramid Pile cure is painiess to use and relieves all pain at once.

The appeal made in Wednesday’s Post- Dispatch for food and clothes for 31 hungry, half-clad little ones, in the custody of the Children’s Humane Society of Missouri, and kept at 1623 Olive street, has had substan- tia) results. Shortly after the newsboys began to sell the papers Wednesday afternoon the fol- flowing letter, containing $5, was received at the Post-Dispatch office: “ST.

Toa Post-Dispatch reporter Mrs. Abrams — Thursday, that she had asked the adies of the auxiliary month after month to allow her or $30 to buy provisions, but her request was not complied with and she had to buy coffee, sugar and other pro- visions in 10-cent and 25-cent quantities. Mrs. Abrams said that there was ma- _ terial for garments in the house, but there Was no one to make the garments. The officers of the Children’s Home So- ciety of Missouri and of the Ladies’ Aux- Hilary were amazed when they read in Wednesday's Post-Dispatch that Mrs. Abrams, matron of the home at 1628 Olive Street, had to make an appeal to the public through the columns of the press in order to keep the wolf from the door. — 2 enough the first comment of each of er seen was that Sister Abrams was ‘very imprudent” to seek the newspapers, the great medium of reaching the public, in order to get food and clothes for her thirty- one wards. . © second thought of the officers was te make a vigorous defense of the commission Og by which solicitors were paid $5,- out of the $9,596.59 which they collect- ed in — veer. thought was about the chi] and the danger of their starving. * They could not gainsay the facts stated the Post-Dispatch so they expressed the Geepest sympathy for the little ones and hoped that Mrs. Abrams’ appeal would 1 — Preponse. porter ed at the home of Rev. ohn D.

The following letter was received by At- torney Walter F. McIntyre from a travel- ing man, who is making a trip through the West: “My first step was at Omaha, and I found that city solid for Democracy, al- though there is a paper there doing every thing possible for McKinley. I next went to Lincoln, where I called on Mr. Bryan at his home, and was well received. I had the honor of meeting Mrs. Bryan, and found her a lovely and thoroughly womanly wo- man. Both inspected my Jefferson Club button, and I told Mrs. Bryan that I was a member, and that they were a band of workers, who were heart and soul for the cause. „At Alliance, Neb., I found that two. thirds of the people were for Bryan. At Crawford, Neb., where I stopped, there are 300 votes, of which 40 are usually Demo- cratic. I helped a customer of mine circu- late a paper, asking all who would vote for | Bryan to sign. We got 180 signers, and as there are 75 voters who live outside of the town, there will be but 45 McKinley votes left. We polled the vote of Belmont, Neb., and found 146 for Bryan and 3 for McKin- ey. „At Deadwood I found many people solid for Democracy. At the smelting works there are 381 men, and I found less than 60 for McKinley, but they are obliged to be very quiet about it, as their employers are strong soldbugs. We will carry South Da- kota, sure. “I next went to the great town of Lead, where the largest gold mineyin the United States is located. I found the men solid for Bryan and Democracy. The people there seldom see a silver paper. If you have any campaign literature, send it to Adams Bros., Crawford, Neb., as they are red-hot silver men, and will circulate it where it is most needed—in Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska. “At this place (Newcastle, Wyo.,) I went out to the great coal mines and had a talk with some of the miners. I found them to be all good Democrats, but afraid to say so where their bosses might hear it.” HE COULD GET NO GOLD. | Mechanics’ Bank Refused One of Its Customers a Small Sum. A customer of the Mechanics’ Bank was in need Wednesday of $150 in gold, with which to meet an interest note. The holder of the rote insisted upon receiving gold only. The debtor provided himself with 30 $5 bills, net silver certificates, but legal ten- der notes, and presented them at the Me- chanics’ Bank with a request for gold in * e. : > a le dla not ge ; He was until Wednesday a gold-standard Republican. Now he is a free-silver Republican. The object lesson pe vanes accom- lished the metamorphosis. 0 “They told me at the bank.“ said the gen- tlemen to a Post-Dispatch reporter, that they would not give me the gold. They said they had been offered ½ and 1 per cent 2 for it, but would not part with it or th at. „ told them I would apply for it to the United States Sub-Treasury. “They saia that would do me no good, as I weld not get the gold there.

He did not speak. 9 Then he wheeled and made a dash for the buggy. Mrs. Hoppaugh turned. She saw the two men who had remained in the rig lift up the back curtain. The mian with the pocketbook made a dive. His companions grabbed him and jerked him inside. Little Otto Derecskey stood alongside.

As Bold and Desperate as the Long and Short Fellows Who Raided . Chicago. Pretty women who go strojling about town with their pocketbooks in their hands had better follow Judge Murphy's instructions and keep their purses out of sight, or else earry a bodyguard with them. ° Three men in a buggy are driving through the streets snatching all the purses in sight. They have already been eminently sucess- ful in three instances and have started Chief Desmond to doing some pretty hard thinking. Unless ttheir depredations are stopped they bid fair to rival in notoriety the long man and the short man of Chicago, who held up scores of men right under the noses of the Windy City police with perfect jm- punity. The Chief of Detectives doesn't want anything like that down here and he has vowed that he will get these three ven- turesome highwaymen if it takes an arm and a leg to do it. To be fair with the boss detective the crimes have only been committed since Tuesday afternoon, so that he has hardly had a chance to see what his sleuths can END FOR BOOKLET.. neh sae Ss 2 1 || ECONOMY VAPOR BATH CABINET CO., 714 PINE STRI * * 53 0 *. eae, ae 2 * et il on 1 MN Ne f D cy i HAVE YOU 42% Anderson with much misgi 1 on aide — ving s K halt gly explained his errand.

In this short time, however, three wom- en have been held up in broad daylight and robbed of their pocketbooks right on the street. Tuesday afternoon Miss Frances Weston of 2758 Allen avenue was robbed at Glasgow and St. Louis avenues. Wednesday after- noon, about 3 o'clock, Mrs. Wm. Hoppaugh of 70 North Vandeventer avenue was robbed of her purse, containing $8, right in front of her house. An hour and a half later Mrs. Mary Leid- ig of 1511 Ohio avenue had der purse snatche@ from her hand at Cardinal and Park avenues. The same three men were the trators of all three crimes. tions are identical as to sonal appearance. The only difference in their manner of working was that in the case of Miss Wes- ton the men had a black horse. In the two later robberies a bay carried them to safety. Miss Weston was robbed about 3:30 p. m. She was just crossing St. Louis avenue. In her hand, as is the custom of women, she carried her pocketbook. It contained $8. About the time she reached the middle of the crossing, a buggy drawn by a black horse and driven by three young men, came perpe- The descrip- their per- they spent the next hour and a half is not known, but they showed up on Park ave- nue as chipper as you please, about 38:30. Mrs. Mary Leidig was walking along the street without thought of fear. She, too, was disobeying Judge Murphy’s mandate. She had her purse in her hand, thus wrongfully exciting the cupidity of the boys in the bugsy. | They played exactly the same tricks on her. A blue-eyed, blond-haired chap, with a blue shirt and dark suit of clothes on, jumped out of the buggy and snatched the purse before she could say Jack Robinson. Then he was off and away the trio went, with no one in pursuit. Fortunately for Mrs. Leidig’s exchequer she had but $1 in the pocketbook. Chief Desmond insists that he will habe the highwaymen in a day or two. “They are only boys,” he said. “We have good descriptions of them and it is only a question of a short time when we will catch them.“ 7 * The chief does not think that Mickey Mack is connected with the robberies.

When abreast of her, the animal was thrown back on his haunches and one of the occupants of the buggy sprang lightly to the ground, Naturally, the young woman paid little, if any, attention to the incident. The young man who had alighted stepped quickly to her side. Without a word he grabbed her pocket- book and made a leap for the buggy. The driver hit the horse with the whip and it plunged up the street. Miss Weston stood speechless. Before she realized what had happened the men were out of sight around the corner and pursuit was useless. half hour later three men driving a Dlack horse to a buggy appeared at the corner of Twentieth street and Cass avenue. They got out, hitched the horse and then all three boarded a west-bound Cass ave- nue car. They did not come back to claim the rig and the police took charge of it. It was presumably stvien and they are @waiting a claimant for it.

HIS PRETTY WIFE HAS GONE BACK TO HER PARENTS. THERE WILL BE A DIVORCE. After the Separation Mr. Victor Fought With Mr. Marcom Until Both Were Ready for the Doctors. William Q. Marcom, Chief Clerk in the Auditing Department of the Missouri Paci- fic Railway, hasn't been working for several days. John Victor, Yardmaster for the Terminal Railway in East St. Louis, is also laying off. Both men are bruised and disfigured and under the care of their doctors. Victor’s beautiful Wife has returned to the home of her parents and Victor is arrang- ing with an attorney to begin divorce pro- ceedings. The Victors have been living at 1614 Comp- ton avenue and the neighbors say that Mrs. Victor has been away from home a great deal while her husband was attending to his duties on the other side of the river. This came to the ears of the husband and at the. suggestion of a friend to whom he confidea his suspicions detectives were em- ployed to watch Mrs. Victor. It may be that the detectives lied, but they reported to the suspicious yardmaster that his pretty wife was desperately in love with Mr. Marcom, and was in the habit of meeting him at some quiet place whenever ~ ogy d find time to slip away from his office, The detectives also reported that Mrs. Victor had made an engagement with Mar- com to meet at a convenient rooming-house on Monday of this week. They invited Mr. Victor to accompany them and witness his own dishonor. He agreed to go with the de- tectives and then told his troubles to his uncle, William A. Ross, who lives at $121 Cass avenue. If the detectives were not lying to Mr. Victor, it was mighty fortunate for Mrs. Victor and Mr. Marcom that “Uncle Bill,” as Mr. Ross was familiarly called, was let into the secret. Mr. Ross probably has a horror of scandal, and it may be that he also has implicit confidence in his nephew's young wife. Anyway he told her what the detectives had reported to Mr. Victor and also the plans that had been laid to trap er. “Uncle Bill” ig also said to have given a similar tip to Marcom. If he did his treachery to his nephew might be over- looked from the fact that long ago Marcom made “Uncle Bill” a fast friend by giving him a job in his office. Monday morning, the day set for springin the trap that was to catch Mrs. Victor an Mr. Marcom, Mr. Victor left his home at the usual hour and pretended that he was going across the river to perform his work. But that was only a blind, for he had pre- viously notified Chief Yardmaster Carson that he would not report for duty that day. Instead of going to East St. Louis, Mr. Victor met a trusted friend and his de- teotives, and together they went to the place where the detectives said Mrs. Victor was to meet Mr. Marcom. They watched and watched, but thanks to “Uncle Bil,’ or it may have been that Mrs. Victor isn’t the sort of woman the detectives painted her, 1 get enough evidence for even an oma divo It is said that soon after Mr. Victor left the house to spring the trap, a note came to Mrs. Victor from “Uncle Hill.,“ and as soon as she read it she went over to East St. Louls in search of her 1 husband.

Half a dozen offi- cers formed a circle and kept the crowd away from the base of the steps and the rest kept moving hither and thither in the crowd, The silence was oppressive and the lungs of the toughs, unused to such un- natural restraint, began to ache under the tension, One or two of them couldn’t stand it and let out little yelps, but the police hustled around briskly and it was not re- ted peated.

Only a small crowd followed them back to the bance. Later in the evening the monotony was re- lieved by a few stones and s heaved through an open window into the hall, and the police were sent for but no ar- rests were made. One dangerous person was apprehended on the square, however. He was : son Koerner, the 12-year-old son o G. A. Koerner, the prominent attorney.

Occasionally he stopped to look out of a window, but mechanically, with- t anything definitely. The s out seeing 2 lamps impressed themselves on his enly as blurs of light The passers-by were vague shadows. He was s0 full of his own thoughts, of his own anxieties; that he was for the time ‘unconscious of things external. He consulted his watch. How, slowly the minutes went! Surely it must now be over! Back and forth he strode, with knit brows apd clenched hands, ‘his footsteps soundless on — 2 ue of the carpeting. As he passe a oor he listened. There was a low a ef voices from within, directions — and commands given. en came intervals of silence. Mu noises and soft move- ments fell on his ear. He resumed his walk. Suddenly he started as if electrified. had heard the feeble wail of an in- nt. 5 „Good God!“ he said, it is over!“ but he dared net move nor enter the room. His heart throbbed with unaccustomed vio- lence. Presently the door opened and the Goctor came out. He looked pale and wor- ed. “How is she?” asked John Marsden, molst- ening his dry lips as he spoke. It's a troublesome case, said the doctor briefiv. And—and the child?” “The child is all right.” “May I see her?“ Not yet, please. I will send for you. Meantime, we shall probably want some more chloroform. Can you find a messenger At once?“ ; “I will go myself.” The doctor seribbled a few lines in his notebook, toré out the leaf, and John Mars- den, hastily snatching his hat as he passed through the hall, disappeared into the night. He ran all the way to the chemist’s and back. The doctor was Still in the cor- rijor waiting for his return. Through the half-open door behind him came a low moaning. Marsden shuddered and turned away, his face convulsed by a spasm. The doe en- tered and closed the door softly. wly slowly, the minutes wore on. At th doctor reappeared and beckoned to him. “She wants to see Jou.“ „„Oh, let me pass! Walt a moment. I must speak with you first—not here.“ Marsden mechanically led the way to the dining-room, entered, raised the gas, then turned and faced the other man. ne hand he rested on the table. There was a moment’s pause, as if the doctor did not know how to begin. A pulse beat heavily in Marsden’s ears. “She is very ii, Mr. Marsden.“ I know that.“ “Be a man. I feel for you—upon my soul I do! but I fear there is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.“ must see her at once.“ “You will not agitate her? Any excite- ment would be fatal.“ “T will not agitate her.“ “Here, drink this“ —and the doctor poured out a glass of brandy. — swallowed it and held himself erect. “Are you sure you feel able for it? Oth- erwise you had better not go in.“ “Of course I fell able! said Marsden im- patiently. “Let us lose no more time.” Then entered the room above, treading softly. Nuala Marsden lay on her bed, pretty as a picture. Her eyes were bright with fever, a vivid spot of color burned on each cheek. Her dark curly hair framed her piteous small face. By the fire the nurse was occupied with the baby. At the foot of the bed stood the ily doctor, watching the patient. As Marsden entered he looked up and advanced a step, as if in warning. „Is it safe?“ he said in a low voice to his colleague. The famous specialist pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, “Nothing matters much now,“ he replied softly. She may as well have her wish.” “Will you F. please?’ said the patient — 1 ade “I want to speak to my hus- band.“ John Marsden stepped quickly to his wife's side and fell on his knees. She smiled and tried to raise her imp white hand that lay outside the clothes. He took it timidly, as if afraid of hurting her, and covered it with kisses. A sob rose in his throat and choked: scious. Her mind was in that excited state that on delirium without touching it.

It felt numb. war all mind, all perception, all intel- lect, and ane wanted to speak in a torrent, to pour out her ideas, her speculations, to her husband. Only her head, it seemed to John, and her eager eyes were still alive. To this last stronghold vitality had re- treated. „John,“ she said with a wan smile, it has killed me. I felt it would. Aren't you sorry? No, dear!” as she saw his shoulders heave; don't grieve. Iam happy enough. At least, I don't mind as much as I fancied I should. The pain is nearly gone now, but I am so tired, so tired. I only want to rest and sleep, and never, never waken; but I can’t just yet. I am think- ing of so many things I went through all my lite as I lie here—before I met you and Since. Every littie incident that I had for- tten years ago. Fancy! I remembered cky, my grief over Dicky-I told you about icky, my pet canary thet died— poor, pretty Dicky!—and poor me! I am so young to die, John-—don't you think it is apity? Oh, it is a pity! I am so sorry for myself, but in a queer, vague way—i can’t quite explain—as if it were somegne else. It seems so hard to be punished just be- cause we had a little joy—to be punished uke this. Why did you let me? You knew ter love than this no woman hath, that she should give her life——. What am I saying? Love and Death. Oh! this puz- zleg me. I’m glad it’s not you, though—I should hate you to die—I should hate you to suffer; and yet—you love me. Don't vou love me, John?“ „Before God, I do!“ „But not as you used. Not quite as you used. Oh, yes, to-night you do; but that is because I am so ill. You are sorry—it has All come back to you; but I saw, sometimes, it was not quite as much to you as it was to me; but men can’t help that, I suppose. They do not love as we do—they cannot spare——. The child, of course. The child might have made up—perhaps—if I were to live; but I am dying—I feel it—and, any- , it was you I loved, not the child. I did not want it at all except for your sake. Oh, John dear, you think I am talking non- sense, don’t you? But I’m not; my mind is quite clear—only funny, somehow. The ideas come so quick—just like an alarm running down, isn’t it? It makes me say things whether I will. or not. You know I never cared much to marry —not as other girls seem to. Though I didn’t realise it, it always frightened me a little; and, if I flirted just for fun, I did not wish it to go deep. And then you came, and you were different from anyone else, and you compelled me somehow—dominated me somehow—and you wanted it, and then I wanted it too. To me it was like a dream —a beautiful dream. But vou had loved before, and I had not—and you knew—how it would end. I suppose it must be like that. You see—I cannot put it well—a woman gives a man love; a man gives a woman experience. But for me love was a bigger thing than for you, and—oh, John dear, do not think me unkind!—I do not really mean it; it is only because I am so ill—and queer— and the thoughts come—and something makes me say them. I kept wondering, lying here, if you were worth it—worth dying for, and all that—a love that lasts so short a time, you see. And the lines about the moon came into my head, and I said them over and over—you remember? that it loaks on many brooks; but the brook sees but one moon; and it seems somehow as if to men all women were much alike— so long just as they wer etty—and—and ‘aking’; but a woman ike world only one man, and so it isn’t fair on us, is it, if we can’t change too? And then, -if we meet the man, he has the joy—oh! and we have the joy, too; but—we have the suffering—and—and—of course, not everyone is worth it. We pay dear, dear—” Her voice trailed away.—The Sketch. vance holds well. No explanation has been made of | this upward turn in the German market, though it has been suggested it was caused by the poor prospects for the rye country of Germany. The Corn Trade News says: We are calculating the United States crop at 470,000,000 bu. If we be- lieved that it would be less, wheat would be sell- ing 5s per quarter higher and with rising tendency. We look for 100,000, bu from the United States and Canada. We expect a larger demand for breadstuffa, owing to failure of the vegetable crop and the shortage of potatoes. The American Elevator and Grain Trade says: Grain buyers who find upon delive of grain contracted for that it is not up to grade must tel- egraph for instructions as to is disposal. If they re- ceive it without consulting the seller. It must be fulfillment of contract. In answer to inquiries made by President C. H. Spencer, two leading Minneapolis grain men wire their estimates on the Northwestern wheat crop, one plactng the yield of Minnesota and the Dakotas at 100,000,000 to 110,000,000 bu, against ,000,000 du last year, and the other placing this year at 120,000,000 bu. The Government esti- mate on the 1805 crop for the three States was 156,000,000 bu, but that generally believed to be toe low. Of the 127 cars received to-day at Minneapolis, 53 cars was new, grading 20 contract and 21 No. 2 Northern. Canadian millers have advanced the price of flour 15@25e per barrel. George H.

Chiefly this was due to the stimulating effect of strong cables, Liverpool recording %4 advance and London up 3d on American cables. The Northwest was a bullish assistant to some extent, as Minneapolis and Duluth receipts of 297 cars Were 111 cars smaller than a year ago. A low barometer in that section, indicating rains and possible interruption to harvest, was viewed With some apprebension also. Winter wheat receipts continued full, 103,600 bu arriving at St. Louis, against 74,600 bu a year ago, 145 cars at Chicago, against estimate for 116 cars, and a total of 363,000 bu at Western markets, * 196.000 bu a year ago. he Cincinnati Price Current's wishy-washy crop summary was hardly regarded. Clearances were again liberal, especially of ac- tual wheat, the total in flour and wheat from four ports being 351,000 bu. Domestic markets, however, did not maintain their early strength and soon began to show evi- dence of weakness. Locally there had been free realizing on the open- ing advance and subsequently there was little sup- port in the shape of good buying. The market declined and showed weakness, even when the late cables came strong. A report of heavy sales for export arrested the decline and rallied prices later.

Ta pe ee ees 3 im 8 * 8 i 3 ee a HOW THE PEOPLE RECEIVED BRYAN, STENOGRAPHER NEVINS TELLS ABOUT THE EASTEEN “TOUR. WAS A CONTINUOUS OVATION. ‘Associated Press Man Who Accompa- nied the Candidate 1 by, the Enthusiasm of Masses. Mr. Frank E. Nevins, the St. Louis sten- egrapher who was detailed by the Asso- ciated Press to accompany Mr. Bryan on his Eastern tour, has returned. He tells the story of the trip as follows: “Notwithstanding what has been said pretty generally in the press of the country do the contrary the journey of the Bryan party from Lincoln to New York was ac- centuated by a series of ovations that for magnitude and enthusiasm exceeded the expectations even of the 9 friends and personal admirers of Mr. Bryan. The crowds at all points where crowds could be expected were large and in some places they exceeded anything that has been known in the litical history of the country. “The first bi demonstration of the rney was at Des Moines, Io., where Mr. an was greeted with an ovation which will mark an epoch in the political history of that State. There were acres of people in and around the building in which he made his address. The next great demonstration was the casion of the Clifton House speech on is arrival in Chicago. The outpouring of the ulace was something unprecedented, even in that city of large crowds, andit was almost impossible for, the carriage contain- ing Bryan and his wife to reach the hotel. The police found it necessary to resort to force and violence on a number of occasions in order to facilitate the pro- gress of the party. In spite of all the efforts that could be made Mr. Bryan was taken possession of by the mob and compelled to stand up in the carriage and talk a few moments before they would jet him pass. Mr. Bryan here, it will be remembered, made a brief address from the balcony of the Clifton House. The Streets in all directions were filled with eager crowds for blocks, though many oo neither hear nor see anything. And ere it may be well to remark that the spirit of the crowds which have uniformly greeted Mr. Bryan on his tour, to the ex- perienced observer, was different from — 4: pope heretofore known in American politics. “There was an intensity about them, an earnestness, and even a resentment, show- ing a sense of injury and personal feeling underlying what they said and did. They were clamorous, they were uncontrollable, they were even fierce and raging in their manifestations of feeling. Sometimes the scene was unique and occasionally appal- ding. Though accustomed to seeing po- liti¢al gatherings for years, the madness of some of these street demonstrations that took. place during the progress of this trip, have exceeded anything heretofore within my experience. They were sometimes as irresistible as a herd of wild buffalo on a — plain fleeing from a burning prai- rie. “In these assembHes there was a notice- able absence of leadership, and familiar faces of Democratic bosses were nowhere present. Mr. Bryan himself seemed to realize this fact when he said in his Clif- ton House speech at Chicago: ‘My fellow citizens, they tell us that everybody is against us but the people.’ “Along the route. the inhabitants of vil- lages remained up all night in order to catch a glimpse of Mr. Bryan, and when the train arrived at Valparaiso, Ind., at 20’clock in the morning, there was not only an im- mense crowd in waiting, but the local com- mittee insisted upon r. Bryan's getting out of bed and making an address. He sensibly declined to make a speech, of course, but could not do less than pratity the enthusiasm of the people by showing himself, “The demonstration at Pittsburg was as immense and as — # any that he met with on his journey. he streets were thronged and the opera-house was packed so full that even members of the Bryan arty were unable to gain admittance. r. ryan’s carriage was followed about the streets by crowds from place to place until midnight. On his visit to the Randall Club after the opera-house speeches, he was followed tnrough the dim streets by an im- mense ‘crowd, and on his return to the hotel they still escorted him with shouts of enthusiasm. The police interfered on one or two occasions and prevented the unhitch- ing of the horses from the carriage by the mob, who wanted to haul it themselves. “It was thought by some that through Ohio and Pennsylvania, the home of the goldbug press and the headquarters, sup- eg of the anti-Bryan sentiment, that he crowds would be smaller and less en- thusiastic. Such was not the case. They Were always large, demonstrative and earn- est, and the game in Pennsylvania as in Nebraska. “Although the train bearing the party Over the Pennsylvania Railroad arrived at Jersey City at dusk in the evening, the demonstration was such that it required the best efforts of the large force of police mn attendance to prevent the party from * run down and trampled under foot. As was, with the best precautions that could be adopted, some of the party were hustied and jostled to such an extent that they were in danger of serious injury. “The Madison Square Garden demonstra- tion at New York, as a political gathering, has 2 never been exceeded in this country for numbers and enthusiasm. The mmense auditorium, the largest in the nited States, was packed to suffocation. Not less than twenty thousand people were —— one three 3 as many more 6 on ® OUtS.Ge in the stree to 1 1 — dog = 0 as deen remarked by the press, an ys fact has been commented upon b ue bulld w, that thousands of people left the ing during the progress of the speech.

It is but nat- ural that, after suffering the torments of heat as long as it was endurable, that they Should walk out into the open air, where ey could obtain relief. The farther gal- ries were emptied, and in time a bare bank of seats greeted the vision, but there stil] remained a vast concourse of listeners who Reid close attention to Mr. Br u prop ara ph in ow You.

His purpose was, he said, to prevent mistakes and to avoid, as far as possible, the criticisms of a hostile press, and the putting into his mouth of words that he never uttered, which might happen should he attempt to deliver an unwritten address. It was not his purpose to dazzle the people who listened to him with flights of oratory, but to make a plain and clear exposition of the issues of the campaign, in such @ way that they could be understood 4 the masses who were not present to ear. “Something of interest may be said of the mental and personal qualities of both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. Mr. Bryan is about 6 feet 11 inches in height, with a strong, but not massive person. His voice did not fail him during his entire tour, though severely taxed by his many speeches, which culmin- ated in the reading of the long address at the Madison Square Garden. His face is | frank aud open, and his manner genial and engaging under all circumstances. He is quick to take in a situation, as was evinced by his remark at a small town in Ohio one morning, when he was being escorted to a small platform, which fell beneath the weight that was placed upon it. He re- marked, “Gentleman, if you place your feet upon — ge — it will not fall with you.’ In men etature he impressed the writer as being far above any of those who sure rounded him or met with him during his journey, Whether he will prove to be a mod- ern Moses, leading his péople out of bond- age remains to be seen. ‘Some criticism has been made of Mrs. Bryan on account of her participation in the handshaking which took place during the trip to New York. Nothing could be more out of place than to characterize Mrs. Bryan as in the least obtrusive and forward in her manner, She impressed the writer as a lady of great amiability and sweetness of character, face and manner and as pos- sessing infinite tact. If the election of her husband to the office of President of the United States should place her in the White House the people of the country would have nothing to regret in acknowledgin her as the first lady of the land. She would doubtless prove herself thoroughly capable in performing the social functions of her — in @ manner alike creditable to erself and to the nation. She is modest, amiable and womanly and ambitious, if she reaches the White House, as she expressed herself to the writer, of being the repre- sentative of the highest element of Western womanhood.”’ Myrtle Gillette Gets Her Clothes.

Some Are Positive That the Blase Fam- ily’s Ailment Is Glanders and Others Doubt It. . City Dispensary Physician Alex Jordan, after a careful and thorough examination into the peculiar sickness which has seized upon the family of George Blase, has de- cided that it is advisable to send the sick ones to Quarantine as a precautionary measure. Dr. Jordan will not state positively that the sickness is glanders, but on the other hand he will not say that it is anything else. The family live in a little frame house at 8412 Oak Hill avenue. The house is a poor affair, and but a shade better than the sta- ble which is but a few steps removed from it. Blase makes a scant 3 for himself and his family cultivating a truck garden, the produce from which he sometimes sells at market and sometimes peddles from a wagen. The family consists of his wife and two children, one of whom is affected with the disease. A third child died of the trouble a week ago Wednesday, after a short iliness. The progress of the disease which carried off the child was peculiar. First it com- plained of pain in the joints and limbs, then red and white spots began to appear on its face. There was a discharge from them until the child’s face swelled and its throat was seriously affected. After about two weeks of iliness, accompanied by a high fever, the child died im great agony, being taken with severe convulsions, which lasted nearly an hour. This child was 6 years of age. The mother nursed it through the Illness and never thought to keep the others away from it nor to take any extraordinary pre- cautions herself. In a few days she noticed the same sort of risings on her face and head as had been on the child. The same swelling occurred, and the same affection of the throat. She kept on with her household duties until she was com- pelled to desist. The physician who attended the baby thought the disease was erysipelas, but being in doubt, he cailed in Dr. A. B. Allyn, who has an office near-by. Dr. Allyn thought the case was glanders, and notified the Health Department. In the meantime evidence was hunted up to geubscantiate the glanders theory. It was stated that early in the spring a stray horse was about the place, and at times going into the yard and disturbing the gar- den. The horse was often chased out by the children or led out by the woman. The ani- mal was old and sick, and had seemingly been abandoned. The boys in the neighbor- hood, assisted by Blase and his oldest boy, built a sort of shed some distance off, which the horse was kept until it died. Whether the horse had glanders or not 18 not known, as he was so old and poor that he might have had almost any disease with- out its showing much. It is presumed that it was from this horse that the disease was contracted. The youngest baby of Mrs. Blase has some swellings and splotches on ite face, but is able to run about the place. He was play- ing about the yard with his brother during Dr. Jordan's visit and seemed to be tty well, although he was cross and Irritable. Dr. Allyn said: “I was not called into the case until a few days before the baby died.

Percy Jenkins was as sad as mortal man could be. His countenance, so bright and glad, no longer shone with glee. A cigarette he calmly rolled. With accents faint and low he squared himself around and told his mournful tale of woe. J rushed into a restauraw, as hungry as could be, and ordered quick some beef and slaw and eggs, ‘turned over,’ three. „ Oh, Mr. Waiter,’ then I spoke, ‘if you my life would save, chase up this order ere I croak, and spare me from the grave!’ „That waiter did his level best t’ avert the hand of doom and feed me in a moment, lest I fall within the tomb. He kicked the cook between the ribs and cried with all his breath: ‘Slave, fill his order, fer his nibs is on de verge of death!’ „He brought the beef and eke the slaw and eggs, ‘turned over,’ three. As fine a mess as e’er I saw those vittles seemed to me. The eggs were finished to a turn; the beef was red and rare. What had I ever done to earn such rich and royal fare? “That slaw I tackled like a cow that feeds her face on grass, and ne’er a moment questioned how they made such dainty sass. That beef I et in hunks and chunks, with bread full many a slice, not caring if if cost four ‘plunks,’ twas so demnition nice. “Those eggs I gulped. nor ever feared, and ‘twas a joy to me to watch em as they disappeared and count ’em—one, two, three. a “Ah, here, I thought, ’s a jolly feast, that might the palate sate of politician, poet, priest ar foreign potentate! „At last my hunger was appeased, and when I rose to go my stomach was 30 highly pleased it seemed to weep with woe at thought of being far behind that gay and festal board, where matter so had con- quered mind and fancy high had soared. “That waiter looked me in the eye—he was an honest man.
