The Colorado an 1 Utah express oa the Santa Fe was held up by robbers at 3:30 a. m. today. Owing to the fact that the railroad and express ofljjiala had a spy on the trail of the bandits when they stopped the train, they met a ha.il of buck-shot and bullets, and it id said at leant two are dead in the surrounding woods, while as many oth ers rode for their rendezvous, twenty-one miles away, tilled with bullets. They were novice s in the art of train robbery and brutal ones at that, for they shot "Did'' Preacott, the engineer, before they even gave him a chance to hold up his hands. His wound, it is believed, will not prove fatal. The raid was planned three weeks ago, but not put iat execution till this morning. When tte train left Chicago at 5 o'clock last evening, railroad and express tjctives all walking arsenals, climbed on at every station. Chief Detective, J. J. Kinney of the Santa Fe, with G. C. Montgomery, his right hand man, board ed it at Jo, iet At Streator they were joined by two more men who have been patrolling the line for twenty days. J. A. Mathews, who has been acting the spy for the last two weeks and getting the news of their plans, put in an appear ance at Gal jsburjr. lie brought news that the would-be robbers met early in the da3 and decided to leave their hiding place near Memphia at 8:3J o'clock last night and make their third attempt to get rich at the expense of the eipi'iSJ company. They expected to make a haul of at "least $50,000, the Monday run being always much heavier than any otiier day of the weeK. Kill Dalton' Winchester. When the train reached Fort -Madison, Iowa, shortly after midnight, Division Superintendent Stockton of the Welia Fa :ro express company got into the treasure cur. He carried a sa wed-off V mehester with a history. It belonged to 13U1 Ualtoa, and it was to be noetic justice to turn it loose upon followers in the lootstepj of the Kansas desperado. With him were four men. Their arms were in the car, and had been for several days. Then a council of war was held. It was first proposed to ambuscade the force behind a barricade of trunks and boxes in the express car and allow the rot. bers to enter. The messenger was to throw up his hands and kueel down to open up tin safe. Then he was to fall on the floor and then why the sawed otf Winchester would commence to bark. Two men wore to be stationed on the end to protect the trainmen and another wan to guard the rear. This scheme was finally ahauioned. L,mwlel With Ifuckshot. 1'lie plan adopted waa this: Detective3 Kinney and Montgomery I larded the en gmu. Superintendent Stockton and two of big good shots remained in the express car. But it vi..-. in the forward end of the smoking car that the forces were massed. A partition and door encloses half a dotrn seats and shuts off the rest of the car from iL There the men, a dozen of them were placed. Each had one of the "sasved-olfa,'' every cartridge loaded es pecially for the event with two dozen but k a hot by Superintendent Stockton. There was only one passenger in that compartment and he was requested by the brakeman to take a seat in the chair car, a "they were going to sweep." At 2 o'clsck, when Sheriff Baling, of Scotland county, climbed on board, all detada of tae surprise party were ar ranged. "I here was one man, however, who had to be looked out for and protected, lie was the py. According to the report brought in by Mathews, the spy would endeavor to be the one who flagged the tram. If fo, one torpedo would precede the swingin of the lantern. If another, there would be a coupie of torpedoa. Awaiting the Attack. The orders were that no matter if every one of the unruly ones got away there was to be no shooting to endanger B III T Vle maa who ha ct taken his l.fe 1Q his hands in order to frustrate the attempted robbery. And so, as the minutes aped on, an unwonted silence settled down on the train. Pullman car conductors and porters sought places of saiety and even the trainmen did not ex pose themselves unnecessarily. In the little compartment tilled -with armed men, the lights were out the win dows were up. In each seat were two tneri sitting sideways, the muzzles of the,r guns i ntruding just a triile over mf"t Behind them stood others, T 8:at,lej. Winchesters at lia.f cock resting across their arms. wTrt Tlitiu- for torpedo. Out from between two high embank ments just one mile from Gorin sped the train. One minute more and the anx ious watchers would know waether they again had their labor in vain. Then came the crack of the looked and longed for signal. There was but one. A Sharp Whistle anil a. Rrd Light. A moment, and a shrill, sharp whistle gave token that the engineer had heard, and almost before his hand had left the valve across the trac-cs, not fifty yards away, swung a red light. A grinding of wheels along the rails told the air had been applied, and within twenty seconds from the explosion of the torpedo the train was at a standstill. Out from the dense undergrowth north of the track came four forms. The face of each was hidden by a black mask. One, more agile than the rest, rushed to the engine almost before his companions could reach the express car. lie carried a rifle, and when within ten feet of the tender, brought it to his shoulder, point ed it at "Dad"' Prescott. the white-bearded engineer, and as he shouted "llold up your hands!" pulled the trigger. Kngineer Dal" I'rescott Shot. His aim was true and "Dad" fell to the floor of his cab, with a bullet ia hia right breast. With one bound Kinney gained the top of the tender and bring ing his gun to his shoulder, sent a show er of shot almost in the face of the masked individual. How on earth the fellow ever managed to move six inches is a mystery. But he did and made for the woods. The shot which laid Engineer Prescott low was the signal for a fusilade and was echoed and re-echoed from bank to bank and through the woods. It was also the signal for a hasty retreat to Jbe shelter of timber on the part of the greatly surprised individuals, whose fea tures were hidden by masks. Not until they reached timber did they answer; then they only fired two shots. But their aim was not good and although men were leaning from the car windows and pulling triggers as fast as possible, while others had jumped to the ground and were after them on foot, they failed to hit a man. Death, on a I'ale Horse. According to programme their horses were hitched not over 100 yards away. When tho posse from the train reached the spot they saw one animal, a gray, galloping north. A well directed shot brought it low, but there was no rider on its back. The place where the horses were tied was soon found and cut hitching straps showed that one man, at least had life enough left to make his escape. Sheriff Saling took the saddle, blanket and bridle from the dead gray, and says by their aid he will have uo trouble in iden tifying the owner. The searcii for the dead and wounded was postponed until daylight. But the chase after the one or one3 who escaped waa started within ten min utes after the shoaling ended. Tho sheriff secured horses here and with half a dozen men started north. They know the men and are confidant they will have them in custody soon. Meads Stuck Out .lerkeit Qniclcly In. It is not l.kely the passentrera in the rear end of the smoker, those who were dozing in the chair car, and a half dozen sleepless ones in the sleepers will ever forget the experience. With the first shot every man near a window opened it and looked out. With the second he drew his head in. And when the volley commenced he had no time to close the window, but just dropped flat down on the floor of the car. j Then the cry "train robbers"' went i through the train and women went down on their knees, lifted their hands and screamed vigorously and persistently. It was absolutely impossible to walk through the cars without climbing over the seats. When the excitement was at j its height the brakeman put his head in j the door and shouted. "Iveep your heads down ladies and gentlemen; train robbers j are outside." I Women Kan Shrieking: from Their Ilerths. j In the sleeper, Zeluia, two women ran I shrieking from their berths and were headed for the danger spot when Cou- j ductor Blue captured them and forcibly j prevailed upon them to go back to bed. And there were at least one dozen indi viduals who snored through it all aud did not miss a note. When the train reached Gorin, Engi neer Prescott was removed to a private house and Dr. Cruikshank, a Santa Fe physician in Mew Mexico, who was on the train, attended to his injuries. Fire man McGrawtook the train west. Twice before last night's attempt the bandits left their hiding places, twenty one miles away, and started for the spot selected for their deed of violence. Each time a copious fall of rain baffled them. Eleven nights ago they saddled shortly alter lu o ciock ana startea to riae siowiy j across tne country, it was ciouuy ana they had not covered more than a third of the distance when rain began to falL One Attempt Oiven I. p. Some were in favor of turning back at once, declaring they were not going to to run the cbauee of being tracked by a mud trail. Their objections were over ruled for the time being, but by the time the cavalcade was within seven miles of the-railroad track it was apparent to even the most fool-hardy that discretion was the better part of valor. The command to retreat was given and the procession returned. The next day two of Kinney's men followed the trail for five miles. From the indications, they say eight men were in the party that night Last Saturday morning was the second time the affair was billed to come off. If it had not been for the rain, the attack would have been made; for in addition to the regular prize carried in the ex press car on the train, waa a big bundle of money to be used by the Santa Fe in settling with some employes for August. A Big liundle of Jlonf J-. At least that is the information on which the robbers were acting. But the rain came down too early and with too much vigor even to permit a start. De tective Kinney was a badly chagrined man when the train passed the point, at which according to programme, it should have been flagged. lie was ready for them that night; even more so thau he had been before. He was then clad in a snit of blue jumpers and looked for ali the world like an apprentice to the art of firing an engice. Suuglv ensco?ved in s akiUfnllir constructed "dug out" ia tha heapia tender full of coal waa another of hia good men, a man who ha i put six ballets into as many telegraph poles while rid ing past them as fast aa a pony could take him. Inside the express car, behind an inno cent pile of trunks, egg cases and bun dles of merchandise, which were in reality barricades of cotton, were seven men with loaded Winchesters and a couple of big Colts, "mighty handy in a tight place," as Kinney put it. The Spot Well Selected. The cunning of the hold-up craftsman was shown in the selection of the spot for "turning the little trick," as the rob bery waa professionally designated. For ten miles there is no night telegraph sta tion until La Plata ia reached and there is no stop there. Once in a while the train takes water at Gorin, but there ia nothing there except the tank. Xot within the memory of the oldest man on the road has a halt been made at Baring. But at Hurdland, which ia just ten miles west of the last named station, ia a switch into which the train runs every morning and waits for the east bound express to nass. Both are due there at the same second and invarialy they are on time. But if the west bound should not put iu an appearance the east bound would have to camp there until it came along for there ia no means of finding out what the trouble ia without running back to La Plata. Thought They Had It in a Pocket. The men who planned the robbery figured that they had the train and ita treasure3 in a pocket and would have all the time necessary not only to rifle the express cars but to relieve the passen gers of their valuables. It is also evi dent that they mads a careful study of the topography of the country. For nearly a thousand feet before the spot at which the red lantern was swung across the rails the road winds in a re verse curve through a cut with em bankments from ten to forty feet high. In the 31 hist of Thick Wootl. Then comes a little fill followed by a stretch of track almost on a level with the surrounding country. On either side of the right of way are dense clumps of oak and hickory, not to mention an under growth almost as bad as that of the northern Michigan pine woods. But the timber, though apparently thick and impenetrable is only so for a quarter of a miie from tha track. Beyond that the country stretches practi cally clear and easily traversed almost to the Iowa line. It was in the middle of the timber, the horses were hidden, good strong limbed animals and it waa the calculation that after the night's businesa had been accomplished two hours hard riding would put every man safe from pursuit, and that too, soon aft er day dawned. There were no 'telegraph lines up in the country where the gang had been hiding and it was thought that tho news of the hold-up would not penetrate to that region until the participants in tha affair had time to cover up their tracks. The Ilald Known of Three Weeks. It ia nearly three weeks since the San ta Fe and the Wella Fargo ofiiciala re ceived the tip that the raid was contem plated. Since then the express car,wheth er inhabited by Detective Kinney's men or not has been a regular arsenal. Every night at least half a dozen secret service men have climbed abourd at different points along the line ea9t of Fort .Madi sou and scattered themselves in the day, reclining in chair aud smoking coaches. Soon after that point was reached they would have worked forward into the smoker, not a man exchanging a word with the other, all total strangers as far aa outward appearances went and before Gorin was passed, half of them had dis appeared into the express car. Thia waa merely precautionary. Detective Kinuey'a spy gave him 24 hours notice of the two premeditated raida spoiled by rain, and the full force was on hand. But the railroad and express people were taking no chances. When the danger point had been passed the meu would drop off at different stations working back along the road in the day time and repeating the operation the next night. A Regular Armory. No man the same nisrhta the ever climbed the train from town twice, however. Tho robbers failed to keep their appointments the whole party alighted at Hurdland, took their armory from the express car and returned to Fort Madi- j bod, Galesburg, Chillicothe and Streator. Train 2so. D of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad is what is known aa I the Colorado aud Utah limited. It leaves the Polk street station in Chicago daily at 5 p. m. and is due to arrive in Kansas City at t o'clocii the next morn ing. The Santa Fe railroad runs almost due southwest between Chicago and Kansas City and crosses the Mississippi river at Fort Madison entering the state of Mis souri 250 miles distant from Chicago; the road runs for some miles through a rough country the many small streams which have their headwatera in southeastern Iowa breaking it up in hilla and valleya some sections being densely wooded. An Ideal Rendezvous for Bandits. The brakes of the Mississippi river are only a few milea to the east. Thia sec tion during the civil war was over run with bushwhackers, who frequently carried terror into the little towns in Van Buren, Davis and Appanoose counties in Iowa, by their frequent raida across the border. It ia a fitting place for bandits to do their work, as hiding places are easy of access. The inhabitants of thia section, however, are a sturdy, honest agricultural class, who have no sympathy with crime or criminals. W. C. Black, a resident here was one of the first to the scene of combat, and being mistaken for one of the robbers, waa marched at the muzzle of a Win chester to the sheriff, who knowing him, set him free. It waa a close call for Black. ONE MAX PRAYED. He Knelt Down in the Aisle and Pleaded, for Deliverance. Kansas Citf, Sept 18. When the way laid train reached this city the Kansas City passengers were not. loath to leave it, after their night of suspense. Several of them, as they expressed themselves to an Associated Press reporter, passed the worst night of taeir livis, and fo. a tisae thought it would be their last Aa the detectives, who engaged in the fight stopped off at the scene of the robbery to chase the robbers and the train hands continued east, little could be learned from them. F. H. Wilaon, Pullman car conductor, Tiad time to talk a few minutea before proceeding on his trip west. "Such a scramble for safe places," said he, "I never witnessed. The women were frantic in their endeavors to get out of the way and the men no less eager, showing aa much fright as they possibly could display. Some lay flat on the floor, othera barricaded them selves in their bertb.3 or clamored under neath while othera ran frantically up and down the aisle, apparently bewildered. "One man, probably 50 years of age, when the shooting began to be fierce, knelt down in the aisle and prayed long and loud for deliverance." George Blue, one of the conductors of the train, in hia official report made after reaching Kanaaa City, says: "I waa in the rear part of the train when I heard the engineer answer a flagman's signal. The train soon came to a standstill and in a few minutea I heard gun shots. I hurried back and sent out my flagman to protect the rear end of the train. "By the time thia was done, the firing began. When I reached the ground I saw. three men by the side of the express car. One man fell to the ground and I supposed he was shot- Whether or not he was able to get up or was carried away by hia pals, I do not know. The other two men went under the express car and escaped to the south. "They did uol get away immediately, for they were surrounded b3r the guards, who began shooting rapidly. On both s!de9 of the track there is a dense timber and the robbers had ouly to run a few feet to get under cover. I found that William Prescott was shot in the right shoulder, and I only remained a few minutes when I pulled the train into the station so aa to have his wound looked after. "On board the train was one of the company's surgeons, Dr. C. J. Cruik shank, of New Mexico. I called him, and he did what he could for Prescott. Engineer Prescott told me he was flagged by a red lantern, and coming in so near the station as it did, and there being a curve just ahead of him, he supposed there was a train at the station and the track was not clear and that this was one of their flag men, but when he stopped and the banaits were cettiug up on to his engine and he realized their business, he called to them to kesp off. "Without more ado they opened fire on. him. Soon after this the guards opened fire and the battle was on. The guards did nobly. They followed the robbera into the dense timber iu the darknesa and crowded ihem so closely that they shot one of their horses." HOW THEY WERE C A PTfUED.

As they neared Gorin, the engineer no ticed the switch signal light had been removed, he heard a torpedo explode and saw a signal flag waved. He an swered the signal and stopped the train. Abrams, the leader of tho gang, ran to the engineer and called out: "We've got you; hold up your hands!" The engineer waa a little slow in re sponding and Abrams shot him. Detec tive Kinney who was concealed in the tender, raised up and shot A1)rams in the shoulder with a double-barreled shot gun loaded with buckshot Abrams started for the brush, aud the other rob bers for their horses. Abrams horse was killed by one of Kin ney's assistants. The robbers fled when the other officers appeared. The ofiicera scoured the brush but did not find the robbera. The officers came to Memphis about 4 a. m,, got out warrants and went three milea northeast of thia city and lo cated Abrams and Overtield, brought them to town and they are now in jail. Abrams will die. Two othera are supposed to have been implicated in the hold-up and the officera are after them, but refuse to give their names. All parties are residents of thia county. TOPEKA PEOPLE OX BOARD. Father Hayden's Experience on the Held l"l Train. Very Rev. Father Dean Hayden of the Church of the Assumption and his sister, were passengers on the Santa Fe train which was held tip by robbera at Gorin, Mo., this morning, and arrived in Topeka on time at 11:50 a. m. today. Father Hayden told hia story of the hold up to a Statu Journal reporter. He said: "It waa at 2:15 o'clock this morn ing, a short distance from Gorin, Mo., that our train was stopped by a red lan tern signal, and the passengers were awakened by rapid firing at the front of the train. "The firing waa at the engine and ex press car, but we did not know what minute a stray shot might come through our car. I tell you it made one feel line making hia will far a few minutes. It did not last long, however, and before any of the passengers could get out the robbera were' gone. The officials were prepared for the raid. Mr. Kinney of 'lopeka was on the engine and there were four guards in the express car besidea several armed men who were on other parts of the train. "The engineer, Mr. Prescott. I was told formerly lived in Topeka. He waa shot through the shoulder but stayed on the train until we got to Marcelline and his fireman ran the engine that distance under hia direction. At Marcelline tho engineer waa taken off to have his wound dressed. "The train only stopped where the robbery waa attempted about five minutes but I tell you it was a lonely place. The train waa held at Gorin about an hour where a posse was organized. I spoke to Mr. Kinney and he said they were going to start right after the robbers. He did not know whether they had Ehot any of them or not but one of the robbers' horses waa killed. It waa a good horse and had large saddlebaga ready for the money. A Winchester was captured with the dead horse. "I waa the only passenger in our car to get up but I dressed and went out and talked with the guarda. "The Chicago Tribune had a full ac count of the hold-up this morning and waa the only morning paper that had anything about the affair. The Tribune had two reportera on the train. They knew the robbery waa expected and were prepared to tell all about it. It waa an exciting time for a few minutea and I don't care to be on another train that is to be robbed." Director Severy on Board. L. Severy, of Emporia, one of the directora of the Santa Fe, was on the for ward sleeper. He waa returning from New York City, where he attended the meeting of the board of directors. "1 had no intimation whatever," said he to a Journal reporter, "that there was to be an attempt made to hold up the train. I waa aaleep and was awakened by the torpedoes the robbera had put on the track as a signal to the engineer to stop the train. Then came about twenty five shots in rapid succession toward the front end of the train. Two of the detec tives were on the tender and ready to re ceive the robbera. "They had a good position but so far aa we know none of the robbera were killed. They did kill one horse and capture another, however. The conductor, a brother of Dick Blue, the Republican candidate for congressman-at-large, got the Winchester and a sack which one of the men threw away. "I see no reason w-hy, with seven or eight men ready and waiting for the rebbers, well armed and equipped, they were allowed to escape. It ia very strange." Hvrr. Connors Wra There. Wm. Connors, of Stevenson Co., waa on one of the sleepers. "I don't know much about it," he said. "I waa awaken ed and heard some shooting aud that is about all I know about it, except what I have been told. I do not say that 1 waa not scared, but I am sure now I waa not hurt." Louis Kerker, of Oklahoma City, was on the chair car, the third from the engine. He aaid: "I waa not asleep and I thought it very strange when the train commenced to slow down in the middle of woods. It had hardly stopped when the shooting commenced aud there must have been fifty shots fired. First there waa a volley and after that the shots were scattering. Kinney was on the tender with another niau and he said the first shot ho fired the bullet stuck in his gun and he could do nothing more. 1 do not know how true that story is, but he went over the tank and tho two men stood right over the robbers almoat near enough to touch them aud none of them were nit When the robbera ran for their horses the offi cers reached there aa aoon as they did and then it waa that one of the horaea waa killed. "I tell you things were exciting iu the chair car. The women seemed to bo the j bravest of all. They did not even hold their heads below the windows until the train men came through and told everybody to lay low. "There was the greatest scramble to hide valuables imaginable. Men and women threw their money iu their lunch baskets or on the floor; some put their money in their stockings and others hid watches and everything of value in every out-of-the-way place they could find." T. II. Garrow of Colorado Springs, who was in the Denver sleeper, aaid: "I heard the shots and prepared to divide up with the robbers if they should enter our car. I made two separate rolls of my money one for myself, and one for the robbers. That was the best I could do. J. II. Wilson, the Pullman conductor said: "There was very little excitement in the sleepers. In my car, which waa ahead and nearest the row. there were several who did not know anything about it till today. It did not last twenty min utes altogether. In the coaches behind me the passengers heard almost nono of the row at all." "The chair car and the smoker were the only car3 where the passengors suf fered much from nervousness. In the chair car the brakeman took charge of affairs by telling the passengera to ait still and keep their heads away from the windows. They could not refrain, how ever, from hiding what they had about them in the way of valuables. Women utilized their various garments and the men hid money about the seats. "In the smoking car there were only three or four people and they were badly frightened. They did not dare leave the car for another for fear of being shot down on the platform. There waa a fat man there with a bald head. When the shooting began he waa frantic. 'My Ood, my God,' he cried, 'we are all being murdered in our beds,' and then made energetic efforts to get under one of the seata aa moat of the othera of the car had done but the space waa too small and he gave it up." FIVE FARMERS DID IT. Two of Them Captured at Memphis, Mo., This Morning. Keokck, Iowa, Sept 13. Five farm ers living three milea north of Arbella, jVo., are the men who held up the Santa Fe at Gorin. Two of the men were cap tured at Memphia, Mo., thia morning, one being shot six times with a Winches ter. He cannot live.

Platform Favors Bimetallism and Denounces Income Tax. Lemuel Ely (fuir;r "Was Made Temporary Chairman. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept 18. What is known as typical Republican weather waa enjoyed iu Saratoga today. There w ere blue skies, bright sun and a clear bracing atmosphere, and consequently everybody felt in excellent spirits. De spite the late hour at which most of the politicians retired last night, everybody was up bright and early and prepared for hard work. Tho exciting canvass of last night for lieutenant governor increased rather than abated, and as soon aa breakfant waa over at the various hotels, the crowds began surging from one headquarters to another, 'i lie Mecca of tho great ma jority waa room No. 77 in the hotel where Mr. Thomas C. Piatt received the leaders of delegations and talked pleasantly if not always to their satiaf action. Many yeara have passed since there haa been aa large a gat tiering at a state convention, and tho crowds t hat thronged the streets and hotel corridors exceeded any ever seen at a state gathering of Re publicans. Thia ia due uo doubt to the possibilities of Republican suet-em and to the great strife for olliee now going on. If the majority of delegates found (ht ir way to the room of Mr. Piatt and the state committee, thre was quite a large aggregation that did not bother itself with going to the looked-upon leader but contented themaelves with alleging that with fifteen or twenty hours before them, they could aucceed in breaking the elate. "All the votes that Mr. Piatt can con trol for Morton on the lirnt ballott," said Mr. Faasett this morning, "are about MOO and that is not enough to nominate him. "We believe we have enough to keep him from receiving tho recognition of the people in the first roll call, and if we do, it ia anybody's nomination, for tin-re are a large number of delegate-) that will bolt Morton after having given him their first vote." Mr. Piatt and hia lieutenants reply to thia statement! "Mr. Morton has a walk over on the very first ballot, and no com bination that can be made will be able to defeat him." In addition to thia, the Morton mana gers claim they have tho assurance that the friends of Judge Russell will come over during tho day a. id before; the nomination ia made. For lieutenant gov ernsr the fight seems to lie between .Mr. Saxton, Mr. Hennricka and Mr. Wa la worth, with no very great advantage for either man. Tho platform will stand by bi-meta!-liam. It will condemn the attack on American industries in the tariff bill, and its purpose of fostering the south and spoiling the commercial interests of tho north, and it will condemn the broken Democratic promises and point out tho retrenchment the Republicans have brought about. Referring to the income tax it nays that it ia a rabid and un-American meas ure, violating personal rights and putting a blemish on our claims to lead the world in our libera), free government. I will say that the Democrats opposed that, called it a force bill, vilified it in every possible manner and have now enacted a force bill of their own, author izing federal ofiicera to pry into people private nilaira. In relation to tho American Protective association they point to the constitu tional provision which permits the free exercise and enjoyment of religious pro fession and worship, without discrimina tion or preference and reconi mends itj being strictly followed. Aa to the work of the constitutional convention they endorse the movement to divorce national and state politics trom municipal, so that a man may ex proas hia will in regard to city government with out sacrifice of hia faith upon the politi cal issues of the day. The convention waa rapped to order here at 12-A) p. m. Hon. Lemuel Ely Quigg, of New York city, was ma le tem porary chairmau.

The resolu tions indorse the platform of the re cent meeting in the city; express be lief in the doctrine of protection to all American industries; declare that the people had never asked congress for a bounty, but that when the bounty hw was passed It was re garded as a pledge for fifteen years, and caused the mortgaging of planta tions and the expenditures of im mense sums of money in the purchase of modern machinery and in the making- of elaborate improvements for tlia man ufacture of sugar; urge the organiza tion of clubs, committees aad conven tions throughout the fctate with a view of electing- members of congress who will stand by the national Re publican party in the organization of the house, and finally declaring that 'the causes which have led to the in auguration of this movement are of a financial and industrial nature and that the character and standing- of its leaders are a sufficient guarantee that they will ever work for pood government for the people of the iiole state;" demmd fair elec tions and an honest count and expect at the hands of (Jovernor Foster fair represe utation for the planters on all boards of registration and elections.

Wa-'hittgo-N", Sept. 18. Secretary Carlisle has made a statement con-eerning- the coinage of silver dollars ander this administration, the coinag-e oeing- under the unrepealed portion of the Sherman act. It shows that since the administration came into power. 1,597,223 standard silver dollars have been coined, of which 5'0,069 are jeigniorage. The secretary says: "While the law provides that re deemed treasury notes may be te issued, it also imposes an express limitation upon the power to reissue by declaring- that 'no greater or less amount of such notes shall be outstanding at any time than the lost of the silver bullion and the standard silver dollars coined there from than held in the treasury pur chased by such notes.' AVhen such notes are redeemed in gold there is no obstacle in the way of their reis sue," because such redemption does nor, affect tbe stock of silver held in the treasury under the act of July 14,1890; but, when thev are redeemed with silver coined from the bullion pur chased under that act, they must be retired and canceled, for otherwise there would be, after the redemption and reissue.a greater amount of notes outstanding- than the cost of the sil ver originally purchased and then held in the treasury, and this is ex pressly prohibited by the statute. The purpose of congress was to pre vent the duplication of the currency, which would be the case if the notes and the silver purchased with the notes could be outstanding- at the Eame time. "Treasury notes received in the or dinary course of business, or re deemed in g-old or exchang-ed for sil ver dollars not coined from bullion, purchased under the act of July 14, If'JO, are not retired and cancelled. All such notes are reissued. Prior to the 1st day of July, 13'Jl. silver dol lars to the" amount of 36,313, L'tH were coined from the bullion purchased under that act. The so-called g-ain or seigniorage arising- from this coinag-e was SO, 507, S03, which was pail into ths treasury as miscellaneous re ceipts, leaving S-f 10, 161 to beheld as a fund to provide for the redemp tion of the treasury notes, as provided by law. "At the beginning of the present administration this sum of ;i-:i.'. 4-0, 4'il was still in the treasury and standard silver dollars to the amount of 31. 59 7, 223 have been coined since that time. Of this last sum, however, 5520.079 was seig-aioraye, leaving-St, 0T7, 14 1 to lie held in the treasury. It appears, therefore, that the whole coinag-e un der the act has been $37,905,437, and that the amount to be held in the treasury for redemption purpose? was 30,5."7,005; of this sum, Sl.l.'l 0JO was used in the redemption of notes and that amount has been retired and canceled. "No treaaury note has 'bfen re deemed in silver unless silver was de manded, the policy and practice of the department having always been to redeem in the kind of money de manded by the holder of the notr. The presentation of treasury notes for redemption in silver beg-an in August, 1S73, when there was a great scarcity of currency of small denoiu nations, and there was redeemed during- that month 31.273,267, which is the larg-est amount that has been presented during- any one month. "As shown above, there were held in the treasury at the beginning of this administration 529,4 30,401 in silver coined from the bullion pur chased under the act of July 14, 1300. Notwithstanding the fact that 81,157, 223 have been coined since that time, there ai'e now on hand only S26. ISi), 724." HURRICANE IX KL A 11031 A. rifty Houses Swept Away and Three People Killed.

His Friends Do Not Favor His Making a Fight. TTTiGT0?r, Ky-., Sept. 18. There seems to be no doubt about Colonel Breckinridge making a fight for the nomination before the district com mittee, on which all possible pressure has been brought. Breckinridge last night made a public statement in which he says he secured a majority of the legal Democratic Totes of the district, and that fraud was practiced Bgainst him in several counties. The following is Breckinridge's statement; "None of the interviews printed in the various paper purporting to have been held with me were authorized. The Democratic committee of the dis trict alone has power to declare who is the nominee, and until that dec laration is made no one is the nomi nee of the party, and when it is mu le I will loyally submit to this decision and support the person declared to be the nominee. No court has any power over its action, and I would regret to see New York judicial methods intro duce d into Kentucky politics and. pliant judges corruptly giving the ap parent sanction of the judicial pro ceedings to base methods. "The extraordinary order of the judge of the Fourteenth judicial dis trict obtained as it was by the friend s of Mr. Owens seems to decide that the party had no right to require a voter at the primary to be pledged to sup port the nominee and this is tenable only upon the ground that under the Carroll law a voter at the primary election is not bound by the result. I don't believe that such is the law, and to use the mildest term possible con cerning it, I think it was improvi dently given, and I for one repudiate it both as a principle of law or of morals. '1 have no doubt of my nomination by the legal Democratic vote cast on last Saturday, and that by many votes. I had no doubt that fraud would be practiced on me in Scott county, and I am certain that has been deliberately done. I believe that at least 300 illegal votes have been cast against me in the county of Fayette, and perhaps nearly as many in Franklin. But these are matters to be decided by the consti tuted authorities of the party at the proper time and in the proper mode, I shall make no frivolous contest, shall raise no technical questions, nor enter into any contest about tne doubtful points, but shall reserve until next Saturday the right to have such proceedings taken before the district committee as will accord with my judgment. "I regret certain incidents of the day of the election, the voting with the consent, if not approval, of the faculty of Georgetown college stu dents, who had no legal residence in Georgetown, and some of whom are under age. And the Owens political meeting, under the guise of a prayer meeting, in which reputable ministers of the gospel, as well as mere ecclesi astical tricksters and shriekers partic ipated for the purpose of impressing the people of the district that the Lord approved the methods of political cam paign pursued by Mr. Owens and his friends, and thereby giving to us in all our future elections the certainty cf mendacity, vituperation, lavish v.e of nioney and everything which degrades, corrupts and breeds vio lence, and that whatever of this kind is indulged in hereafter will have the sanction of these preachers, and will be claimed to be consistent with religion. As I look back upon the can vas I have no regrets for the utter ances I felt called upon to make, and all of the statements made by me, either in speeches or interviews, are absolutely true in fact as moderate in utterance aad temperate in spirit, and this will be more and more appre ciated by the district as the excite ment passes away and the real facts are understood." OWK-Ns' PLURALItr. Official Beturua From Eight Counties Make It 310. Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 18. The En quirer has corrected official returns from eight counties of the Ashland district, showing a plurality of 310 for Owens over Breckinride. Advices from the different counties are that Breckinridge's friends are quietly but earnestly working so that tjiey will have all the evidence possi ble if a contest is made. The general thought is that the effort will be made to get Breckin ridge's friends on the committee to consent to making a contest and hearing charges on the charge of fraud, especially in Scott county, the home of Owens. It is conceded that the agitation is over, for the com mittee refuses to go behind the re turns and several of Breckinridge's friends on the committee are reported as not favoring the opening up of a case. Congratulating- People of Kentacltr. Xew York, Sept. 18. The National Christian League for the Promotion cf Social Purity, of which Mrs. Elizabeth B. Drain is president, have adopted resolutions expressing grati tude to those Kentucky men and wo men who have so nobly worked and earnestly prayed to defeat the can didate of Colonel Breckinridge and congratulating them on the success that crowns "their patriotism and makes it a blessing to the whole land.

At the Seaside Athletic club last night there was a fair attendance. The bout between Mick Dunn cf Austra lia and Jim Butler of Brooklyn, eight rounds at 150 pounds, was stoppad by tne ponce in tne second round. Dom iiiick McCafTery awarded the bout to Dunn. John Gorman and Jack Skelly, 135 pounds, were stopped in the tenth round by the police, and the award given to Skelly. Young Griffo vs. Eddie Lieber, at catch weights, six rounds, was the third event. Griffo's seconds were Mick Dunn, Harry Tuthill and Mike Haley. Lieber's seconds were Joe Losber, John Mott and Robert Cun ningham. This was advertised to be the bout of the night. Griffo was a bit bigger than when here the last time. He simply knocked Lieber all over the ring, and there were cries of "Take him away." It was a farce and provoked much amusement. Griffo hammerec? his opponent un mercifully in his own corner for a time, but wound up with merciful treatment to the badly-beaten man. Griffo won, but this ended the fight. Kid Lavigne vs. Jerry Marshall, at 123 pounds, came next. It was a ten round bout and ended in a clinch. The referee gave the verdict to Lavigne.

The older society h id dwindled away in numbers and the few who were left wanted to consolidate ith the other society, to which some of the "junior" objected. The objections were finally overruled, and about three) months aifo the consoli dation was etrectsd, but when it came to the election of oilicers a certain clique, whose candidates were not elected, left the society with a grievarce and have caused some trouble, which has been al most wholly settled.

"He has lived in the simplest way possible," said Mr. Hastain, "and has no kind of employmen-t.nor has he any in view.

HAD NO TIME TO WASTE." YTestingaoa, Oav Vaadarkllt as Good as Eta Got. When Westing-house first obtained his patent on the air brake, like most Inventors, he was poor and friendless. lie managed to secure an introduction to Commodore Vanderbilt, who was never noted for his gentle manners. Westmghouse found him engrossed in his correspondence, and he did not deign to stop reading his letters while the inventor extolled the merits of his invention. When he had spoken bis little piece Vanderbilt for the first time seemed to take any notice of him, and, looking up suddenly, said in his gruffest tones: "What's that you say?" So Westinghouse commenced all over again and explained how by an air pressure of thirty pounds to the square foot the brake was applied by the engineer, and when he finished he waited patiently for the verdict. Once more the old commodore raised his head high enough to jerk out: "What's that you 6ay about air? Westinghouse told him. Looking him steadily in the face the old man replied in freezing tones: "That will do; I have no time to waste with a d d fool!" Discouraged, but not disheartened, Westinghouse left.only later to bring the great invention to the knowledge of the Pennsylvania railroad authori ties. With that opening it was easy enough to get other roads to use the brake, and Westinghouse's fame and fortune were made. When that time had arrived he one day received a let ter from Commodore Vanderbilt, ask ing him to call at the Central's office. Mr. Westinghouse's reply was terse and to the point. He simply wrote: "I h'ave no time to waste with a d d fool." ONLY A GIRL. I5nt S-he Has a Ifecord for Killing- Rati tlesnakes. The town of Liberty, in New York, claims the champion rattlesnake hun ter in the person of sixteen-year-old Mary Burton. Early last summer she killed a rattlesnake in her father's yard and cut ol? the rattles. Since ttien she has developed a craze for collecting the rattle of thesj snakes, and spends her time hunting the ven omous reptiles. Up to date she has killed twenty -eight rattlesnakes, and from them has obtuined twenty per fectly matched sets of rattles. Each feet has nine rattles or segments. The other eight sets are odd ones, rang ing from four to ten rattles in a set. The women of that part of the state seem to have taken an amazing cour age in dealing with snakes. A report from Hfincock saj's that Mrr. Frank Tower, of that place, was on her way home after dark one evening when the heard a rattlesnake sound its rat tles in the weeds at the roadside. She hurriod home, said nothing to any one, got a lantern and a club.and returned to the spot whera she beard the rattler. It was there still and sprang its rattles as soon as Mrs. Tower approached. She turned her light on it, saw it lying coiled ready to strike, and smashed its head with a club. The snake was an immense fellow, measuring over five feet, but it carried only nine rattles. A young girl named Henrietta Quick, across the Delaware in Lacka waxen, Penn., heard a noise among her chickens. She went out and saw a rattlesnake maneuvering to capture one. She cut its head off with a hoe. This one had thirteen rattles. English Real Estate. Lord Vaux of Harrowden, can just ly claim to be original at a period when originality of the kind is rare. Most Luglish landowners are now Belling their family estates. Lord Vaux has reversed the process, hav ing just bought back Harrowden, which had been separated from the title for over 200 years. Say what they will, for those who can afford to wait land is still one of the best in vestments. Population and the vol ume of wealth increases rapidly i.i these days, while the area of land, of course, must be stationary. This is tiie period of transition, and every thing is more or less disturbed in con sequence, but given another half cen tury, when stability has more or less been re-established, and the value of landed property must inevitable im prove considerably. A Famous Comic Weekly. It is now fifty years since the Flie-g-ende Blaetter was Btarted in Mu nich. During the first ten or twelve years the Fliegende Blaetter did not appear regularly, but merely from time to time. The two publishers were Kaspar Biaum, a clever artist, endowed with a rich, flowing vein of humor, and Frederich Schneider, who was possessed of a tender and poetic soul The former also took charge of the artistic part, and the latter fixed the literary standard of the periodic al. Kaspar Braum died in 1879 and his partner in 1SG4. A Monster lamp. The Echo des Mines announces the invention by a young Belgian of a lamp such as has never been seen be fore. The lamp is composed of 3,000 pieces. It is six feet high and meas ures three feet ten inches in diameter. Its light is so strong that one can read by it a distance of 600 feet. The lamp is fed with lard oil, and the consump tion is said to be very small. Where He. Drew the Line.

J. D. Botkin has removed from "Wellington to Xeodeshu, presumably for the purpose of securing the nomination for Hudson's placa on the Pop ticket.

The college proper will occupy 200 feet on tho boulevards in Kosedale and until this is built, to enable the state uni versity an opportunity to give its stu dents, now taking the tirst two year3 at Lawrence, the full and complete clinical course, Dr. B-eil donated for that purpose the big brick building, not far from the proposed site, known as Bell's hall. "ihe institution will be wholly on the Kan-as side of the line, will be a depart ment of the state university aud in every sense will be distinctly a Kansas insti tution. SHOT A Vi ORTHLEsS FELLOW.

The latter went back into the store, got a gun, and as lie went out commenced shooting. Iuman was struck twice, one ball entering near the heart and another went through the muscles of the arm.

SANTA FE CLERKS" SPREE. Oirls in Men's Clothes and. Their Escorts All lrmik. Four people in a carriage created Bomethingof a sensation in Potwin last nigh by their appearance, the noise they made and an accident. About 10:30 j). m. a carriage was seen to drive into John D. Knox's orchard and a few minutes later it came out again on the driveway in front of the residence of Thomas Eby. The driver was hilarious, and while he was making lots of noise he drove off a crossing, letting the car riage down in a ditch, smashing one wheel and toppling his load out on the ground. The occupants who were dumped out made so much noise that they attracted the attention of all the neighborhood and a son of Mr. Eby went out to see w hat the trouble wa. Four young men, or rather two young men and two young women dressed in men's attire, all pretty well loaded with intoxicants did not seem in tho least disturbed by his appearance and he stood by while the young women were mounted on the horses and directed to take them to Rain's livery barn, while the young men trudged on behind. This morning Silts Rain went out to the scene of the acci lent and examined his wrecked carriage. He would not tell who the people were, but Silas Rain told Mr. Ediy tha tho young man who hired the rig is "prominent in the city and is an einploj-e in the Santa Fe offices. PROF. ELY VINDICATED. Investigating Commiftee Can't Thinlz of Itecommeiidixir ilis Dismissal. Madison, Wis., Sept. IS. The report of the Ely investigating committee was submitted to the full board of univer sity regents at 2 o'clock this after noon signed by the full committee. It finds Dr. Ely had no connec tion with the printers' strike, did not advise or abet the strikers or walk ing delegates, or make demand on pro prietors that their office should be made a union one. It further finds there is no foundation for tho charge that Dr. Eiy believes in strikes or boycotts or any other charges that were made by Superintendent Wells, that the charge, "a sort of moral justification for attacks upon life aud property is supported by the teach ing or practice of the university of Wis consin" is absolutely false. The members of the committee say they are surprised to find that during the last eighteen months nearly 200 books aud articles have been published by tho professors and students on various sub jects. The report states that without doubt some things were written not only on social economics, but other subjects with which many good people could not agree, but tho committee is mindful of the fact that many universally accepted doctrines of today were but a short time ago denounced as visionary, impractica ble and pernicious. The committee states that it cannot f jr a moment think of recommending the dismissal of a teacher even if some of his opinions should in some quarters be regarded as visionary. Such a course would be equivalent to saying no profes sor should teach anything which is not accepted by everbody as true. They say they would feel themselves unworthy of the positions they hold if they did not believe in progress in all departments of knowledge. They be lieve the great university of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting aud winnowing way by which alone truth can be found. In closing the report the committee says: "We regret that our appointment is such that au investigation should have been considered necessary, but will now state that we entered on it with the sole deaire to ascertain the truth in re gard to the charges preferred. We are pleased to say that the re.-ult is a com plete vindication of Dr. Ely and the teachings and practice of our universi- tj." Ieot at Ponoa. An order was filed in the United States circuit court by J udge Caldwell, order ing the receivers of the Santa Fe railroad to build a depot at Poaca City.

A Drunken Jamboree lleported in the 3Xa sonic Huildiiif. People living in the vicinity of the Ma sonic building on Jackson street were aroused last night by a aeries of cries of "murder," "help" and "Oh, my God, you're killing me." The cries continued at various intervals from 1 o'clock until after 3, and finally three ladies living across the street dressed and went into the street to investigate the cause of the trouble. Thy say the cries were plaintive and piercing at times, and at other times sounded smothered is though an effort were made to suppress the outcries. The voice was that of a woman. The suspicious circumstances which they saw give the neighborhood gossips plenty to talk about today. Oue of the women who went into the street said to a Journal reporter today: "We had not been on the Bidewalk long before a hack drove up to the front en trance of the building. The driver cried out, 'Hurry up, there 1' and somebody up stairs said, All right, we'll be down in a minuta' Then two men, carrying a form, which we could not see distinctly, but suppose was a woman came down. 1 rushed across the street to try to get the number of the hack. but tho driver saw me coming and drove up the alley before I could get to see anything. Then I went back to the side walk where the other ladies were. We decided that the hack would be back be fore long, so we waited. 1 suppose we waited nearly three-quarters of an hour, but it came, or at least a hack we sup posed was the same oue. "We all crossed the street again and I saw by the lamps that it was Xo. 20. I asked: "'Where is that woman you hauled away a while ago?' "'What woman'.'" 'The one they carried out of this build ing a while ago. Aren't you the same hackmaul" "'No, and I don't know anything about it I simply got a tele phone message that a woman was badly hurt down here, so I came here after her. "I asked the hackmau what his name was, but he wouldn't tell. Then a big fat colored policeman came up and we told hitn all we knew about the case. Tlieackmaa started to drive off but the officer stopped him. The policeman says the driver's name was Lucas. The officer and Lucas then held a whispered con versation and the officer then told us he would investigate the case and walked off." The policeman in question is learned to be Officer Hicks. The other women were present when this interview was given and they gave their assent frequently to its reliability. They were so alarmed and excited by the occurrence at the time that it did not occur to them to arouse their husbands and have them enter the building. The Masonic building is taken up largely with the Masons rooms, the Elks, the Modocs, Wethereli's dancing acade my, a school of physical culture aud the Ath.etic club. T here are three or four rooms rented as gentlemen's sleeping apartments. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. J. II. Wetherell heard any noises after the Masons went home at about 1 o'clock. The noises re ported by the neighbors, however, were kept up a3 lata as 4 o'clock this morn ing. The possible sequel to this statement is given by a well known Topeka physi cian this morning. He s.iys that two business men and two women i:ot drunk in a "public biiilding" last night, declin ing to say where. He adds that one of the women was badlj' hurt, aud among her other injuries had her foot "nearly cut off," or at least badly in jured. There is a mystery about the whole affair that time may develop. The hack man has nothing to say and the police man is mum. The women across the street say such occurrences are a dis grace to a respectable neighborhood and they want the case ferreted out The people in the Masonic building are equally as anxious to find out the truth of the matter. 311 LY RIGL HERE.

Yates of Maine ar rived at noon today aud will make a suf frage speech this evening from the north steps of the state house. She is making suffrage speeches under the direction of the National Suffrage association. She said to a Journal reporter who asked her what she thought of the prob ability of the amendment carrying in Kansas: "I was inKansas in June and July and spoke in southern coun tless. I returned to tho state Sep tember 1. and I was surprised and gratified at the advance of public sentiment ir. favor of the amendment. The people are with us and the politi cians are finding out that it will be to their interest to support tho measure. The impression that it is a party measure is being allayed aud it is going in on its own merits irrespective of party. "The Republicans and Populists are very largely with us and the Prohibition ists will support the measure almost un animously and there are thousands of Democrats who are personally in favor of the amendment "The political kaleidescope is chang ing iu our favor and if the vote were taken today I feel sure that the amend ment would carry by 25,'JOO. With the continual agitation of the question and a thorough campaiug from now until elec tion the majority should ba much bet ter." "How do you account for the defeat of tho suffrage amendment in the New York constitutional convention?" ques tioned the reporter. "I am an eastern woman," replied Miss Yates, "and I recognise that the soil of tiie west is the place lo plant re forms. Tho conservatism of the east will only yield after this measure has obtained extensively elsewhere. The political machine of the constitutional convention of New York did not dare to submit it to the votes of the people be cause they knew it would carry." In speaking of her political sentiments Miss Yates said: "1 am of Republican extraction, but I suppose that 1 would be called a scratcher. I would vote for men rather than for party.'- "Will Miss Anthony return to the state?" questioned the reporter. "I can not say, but if Miss Anthony comes to the state she will come by solic itation of the Populist committee and will be paid by them. The amendment campaign committee will have nothing to do with it. The National Suffrage as sociation is strictly nou partisan." PINKERTON MEN RATTLE.

"We in this country do all that is possible to rob grim death of its terrors," says I. Ij. Van Clove, of Syracuse, "and I trust that when I shuttle olt this mortal coil it will bo in iny own land instead of a foreiga one. While I was iu Central America, not long ago, I saw a burial which to me was most repugnant. Near must J of the towns is what called th Campo Santo, an inclose 1 consecrated cemetery, in which the dead are. buried upon the payment of a small fee, which is devoted to keeping t.lis grounds in order. In some towns tho practice of burying in the churches has always prevailed, and is per petuated through the influence of priests, who derive a considerable fee from each burial. The coriKcqneneo is that the ground within and around the churches has been literally honey combed with the dead. The burials are made, according to the amount paiei to the church, for periods, say from six to twenty-five years, at the end of which time the bones, with tho earth around them, are dug up and sold to tho manufacturers of nitre. Coffins are seldom used. The corpse is placed at the bottom of the grave, tho earth rudely thrown in and beaten 1 down with heavy rammers, with a degree of indifference that is really shocking. I did not allow myself to witness a second burial. The Wrong Mini. A short time ago a young lady wr.s troubled with a boil on her knee which grew so bad that she thought it necessary to call in a physician.

8.740 S.7.0 SENATORS AND SILVER. Senators Teller, Wclcott and Dubo's by their most recnt utterances, hjve iw dicated to the Republican party th ii must come to their views on the suvci question or they will be compelled to part company with that crganieation. This is a fair, open and macly coar. i to take. It is a warning to which tho party ia entitled from those whom it hs re garded aa its frieadi It is more honor able than to remain in the party and dis rupt it by sowing seeds of dissentidii. These gentlemen are doub:lesa sincere in the belief that the best interests of themselves, their constituents and tha entire people demand the restoration of silver to the place which it occupied so many years in the currency of tho coun try. They say in subslance to the Re publican party: "You have not done what you could for silver at all times in the past; if you propose to continue ia thia course we must part company." Political parties are required under our system of government for the reasoa that a certain amount of machinery ia necessary to organization, wi.hout which nothing can be accomplished. If the voice of the people shall be heard ia the next national convention, the western senators will not feel cuiled upon to forsake the party; but if the class of bankers which favor in single gold standard, the money changers and the politicians shall be in control, then we may look to see them go, and many thousands who are now good Republic ans, with them. There has never been a time when party tieasat so lightly on tho people. The Topeka Jour aal, having shown that leaders of all the political parties ride on free pasaea, is trying to rake a campaign issue out of the pass business. Kansaj City Journal. The State Journal isn't trying to make a campaign issue out of the pas businesa. It is impossible to make it a campaign issue, from the very fact that the leaders of ail the political parties and all st&te and judicial officials do ride on passes. The State Journal is carry ing on a campaign of education. The people will demand anti-pa3s legislation next winter, no matter which party car ries the legialature. Tun Democratic campaign in Tennes see was opened last Saturday by Sena tor Harris. After making a defense of the tariH bill he passed to the currency question and declared that in his opinion an international agreement is impossible. Other people knew thia years ago, but it takes the average Democrat almost a lifa time to learn anything. He then talked a lot of bosh about "parity" and "biuiet alism" to the extent of proving tLat Le either has no convictions on the silver question, or is afraid to express them. To some young christians the idea of Christian Endeavor means that they should endeavor by all means in theic power to bring about the kingdom of Christ on earth; and they think that Third Party Prohibition comes a rule nearer to that than Republicanism, Popu lism or Democracy. If they do think so, they certainly ought to have the cour age of their convictions and vote as they think. Other people who think other wise, should try to convert them, but they have no right to abuse them. Lawrescb Gazette: A Pullman pa33 ia hard to obtain. Almost anyone can get a railroad pass, but it takes a sTong pull and a long pull to fetch a Pullman complimentary. The Topeka Journal, which is making a specialty of the pass business just now, haa interviewed the members of the state board of railroad assessors, and finds that threj of them have and use Pullman passes. The other two members were not in the city. This is the board that reduced tho Pu.l man assessment thia year. What hum bug exists under the name of reform. The good effect resulting from the presence of women ia politic has 1 een made apparent in the Seventh congres sional district of Kentucky.

I Considered Hi Life at r mil arm 4 Ose TVaated to Tletlre From the Mwrtrum Ma- Ion. Betiurn Dome and Taob District School. Srecial Correspondence. Lebanon, O.. Sep. 13. Here, where Tom Cor win, etateaxnan.'wit and philoso pher, lived, and -where he is bnried, ev ery day seems to bring forth a new story characteristic of tha man or giri .s a new idea of hia great abilities and liiuer xaoet ambitions. Hon. Robert G. Corwin, a cousin, now an old man, showed me recently a letter written to him by Corwin when tho ex-governor was minister to Mexico. It ia a remarkable cpistlo and has nevei before been published. In it Corwin writea that he ia tired of the Mexican mission and is about to ret-iga and return home, as he afterward did. He wrote the following reason: "I am an old man, ruy health Is failing, and I must return home to make a liv ir.fr. I am too old to make it practicing law, and I would like it if you would pecuro me a district school to teach. INor am I certain that I could do that. It may bo, if my health continues ta rtow worse, that I may never reach old Lebanon again. If I die on the way, I want you to hunt rip the spot where my bones are buried and piace thereon a limestone monument. Put upon it the following: tom cor.WTNV i Born July 29, 1704. j Died Mnch beloved by wife and family. Little respected by Lis f riends. i Z TTiiiverwail v despised by Democrats. In lifo useful only to knaves and pretended friends. 7, This, then, waa Corwin's idea of hia own epitaph. It sounds like tho dift;on tent of a disappointed man, and I asked hia venerable cousin the cause of it. Ha replied: "A3 the rest of this letter and others show, Tom thought hia life a failure. Ho was in latter days bewailing the fact that he had not lived to any great pur pose and blamed much upon his wit. 'Wai4 ho, like Webster and Clay, dis appointed not to be president?" "No; I don't think he ever had much ambition that way. His ambition waa to be rich. He always regretted that ho bad to dio poor. Ho left nothing save a mortgage on hia house, which was lifted by Judge George R. Sage, hia son-in-law. "When he died at Washing ton and waa buried here, I remembered the letter about bis epitaph and showed it to the family. They did not consider it seriously, however, taking it as one of his grim, sarcastic jokes. Yet no doubt ho meant every word of it." Corwin's gravo was for many year3 nninarked, but now a plain granite shaft is over his grave in the new cemetery, bt aring only his name and that of hia wife, who died in 1878, and tha name of an only son. Four daughtt-rs survive 3lrs. Sage, now living in Cincinnati; JvJrs. Burris of Jamestown, N. Y. Mrs. Cropper, a widow, who lives in the old homestead with Katherine Corwin, the oldest daughter of all, but who since childhood haa been a paralytic and a constant care. Corwin never conld have been a rich man. tie made enormous earnings as a lawyer and waa not extravagant, but ho was too liberal with his pen in en dorsing notes, end security payments kept him poor. One day he vowed never to go security on another note. The very next day a request for such a favor came in. His office was filled with Lieu who had heard him make such remarks, and they were stunned with surprise when he signed the paper without a word. When the happy man waa gone, they all exclaimed in surprise: "Why, Corwin, what do you mean? Don't you remember what you eaid yesterday?" 'Oh, yes, but I know this man can never pay tho note, and I expect to do it I'll not be fooled in thi3 case." That bespoke the man. He remarked one dayi ".No man can become rich in mercantile business or any other follow ing if he strictly interprets and obeya the lessons taught by Christ in the -sermon on the mount. I try to do it, and no wonder I am poor. Yet he once refused a kingdom i nd a crown also a lot of trouble whic h went with it. When Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, was in America, he became a great admirer of Corwin. It was not altogether but at least fairly reciprocated. Kossuth one day came to Corwin and propoesd that he give up American statesmanship to become king of Hungary. Corwin was told that all Hungary waa hungry for just such a king as he would make, and that the nations of Europe would acquiesce in his favor. But Corwin refused the crown so persistently pressed upon him, saying that he preferred "to be a coun try lawyer rather than tho king of any country on earth." Corwin always told his intimate friends that he wanted to die suddenly. To drcp dead waa his choice and with no long, painful, suspensefnl illness. His favorite poet was Scott, and in ppeak icg of death he would often quote the line beginning Mine be the death of tropio sun. There is no twilight in tropical coun tries, and night comes on suddenly as the sun flashes out of Bight below the horizon. Corwin was touched by the death angel during a banquet at Washington, much like Stcretary Windom, like Cos win, a secretary of the treasury. Cqrwin fell into the arms of Whitelaw Reid and Garfield, who carried him from the rcom. He lingered in a comatose state a few hours and died. His wish was granted, for his great soul passed pain lessly into peace, T. C. BCCKTKCXEPg. qr it-y- 5V Wv X tff f V OA CONTINUE

Fiftieth Anniversary of Dr. Welts' Experi ment and the Morton-WHi Controversy. Half a century ago Dr. Horace Weils) of Hartford conferred a great boon upon humanity by discovering the anaesthetic rr which he called fe''' ''j v lauffhiuK tras. and on Dec. 1 1 next the American and Connecticut Deutal associa tions will cele brate tho fiftieth anniversary of the event. On Deo. 10 the Con necticut associa tion will piace a bronze memorial dr. hokace wells, tablet on the granite building now occupying tho sito of Dr. Wells' ofilce in Hartford, and the members will then join the national body in Philadelphia, where appropriate exercises will be held. Dr. Wells had witnessed an exhibi tion of the effects of laughing gas and noted that persons partly under its in fluence did not feel pain. He had an aching tooth and concluded to take the gns and test his theory that a patient completely -under the effects of the an aesthetic coitd have tcth extracted without Buffering. WL ti the tooth was pulled, Dr. Wells felt no pain and be lieved he had made one of the greatest discoveries of tho age. A public test, which failed because not enough of the anat'-thetic was used, is said to have so discouraged him, however, that he abandoned his experiments. At tha public test, which occurred in Boston, Dr. Wells was assisted by his former parta&r. Dr. W. T. G. Morton, who was then a prominent Boston den tist, with a practice of $80,000 a year. Morton was so impressed with the idea that he gave up his practice and began experimenting with ether. On Sept. 30, 1S46, he bravely inhaled tha ether him self and was unconscious over seven minutes. Shortly thereafter a patient csnij in, and with considerable forebod ing Morton gave him the ether and pulled a tooth without causing his pa tiunt the slightest pain. He then induc ed the surgeons in the Massachusetts General hospital to use the ether while performing a painful operation. The result waa an astonishing success, and from that time forth surgery was robbed of its agocy. Morton and Wella each claimed the discovery, and a bitter con trover?y aroso. Wells, however, was undoubtedly tho actual discoverer, but great credit was due Morton for devel oping the discovery and bringing it into general use. One word describes it "perfection. We refer to De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, cures obftinate sores, burns, skin diseases and is a well knowa cure for piles. J. K. Jones.

Tho miner struck a bonanza, which was Hold br $3,000,000, and, true to his word, gavo Jones one-third of the money. His pros perity dated from that time.

Senator Jons is one of the ablest and most fluent advocates of Pacific coast interests on the silver question. He i an authority cn the Chinese question, and iu his earnest argument that the Chiurse must go he has frrqumtly pre dicted the same outcome of the struggle as between blacks and whiten in this south, declaring that- in fipite cf human law the higl er iaw of heredity and his tory is bound to enccred, and that th-j Anglo-Saxon race rarjst under all cir cumstances and conditions drive its weaker antagonists to tho wall. Senator Jones has been married twice and has a 8n and three daughters. 11 can never hope to bo the presidential candidate of the Populists, or any ether party, for that matter, because of the fact that the constitution of the United States provides that no man born abroad of parenrs not citizens of the United States may become president.

The fact also that they were con veyed to the city p rison in what is known as the hoodlum wagon, was somewhat of a sensation, and it attracted a crowd of about tfOi) people around the Manhattan boteL Mr, De Dost is a resident of To pelt while .Mr. Gray is a resident of Leavenworth. Up to a late hour the po lice would not accept bail. Leon IX De livel mid the following statement when lean in the city jail: 'James IX Gray and myself were in front of the Manhattan hotel this even lug, attending strictly 'to our own busi ness, when llarrr Sutton cam and toll tu we would have to get oi' the street. We respectfully requested him to at tend to his own iumntss. He (Sutton) called to Bedford Woods and asked him to call the hoodlum wagon. The wagon arrived ia a short tii.ie and we were thrown into this dirty pfu, without any provocation or violation of law. We offered to give ton intuit nothing would do but we must bi placed ia tats place. There may be politics iu the case, but there is surely i: j sp:;-.e whatever. "We wore no, drunk nor disordarly and I am unable to understand why we were treated so.

He then began a string of abuse, while Gray chimed in. I called Bedford Wood and he ordered the hoodlum wagon and the urrest wa-i mad.

The reporter visited the lower region where he found the tloor covered with water and bljol, while the atmosphere was filled with smoke. Mr. De Bost crime to thi door and gave his side of the case in a perfectly natural manner, and did not appear to be in an intoxicat ed condition.

Is Court Property. All that is needed at the office of the clerk of the district court to have a nc cessful bank in operation is a safe full of money. The rest is all tasre, Including a dozen tig ledgers, raaay seals and record too numerous to mention. When Major William Sims, who has been receiver of the Uaited State sav ings bank since it failed three years ago, was discharged by Judge Haztm last Saturday, tue only thing 1 aft for him to do as an oScer of the court, was to turn all that remains of the bank lata the court. The records were therefore hauled to the court house in an express wagon and unloaded in 2Ir. Gardenhire's ofiice. There are nearly enough of them to fill a small freight car, and they will be tiled away iu one of the big safes. Receiver Sims hied Lis final report with the court several days ago, which showed th5t his services as receiver were no longer needed. Dor the quarter ending September 4, receipts amounted to fltj,7&4.43, The disbursements for the same period were the same as the receipts, of which $14,243 went to Steb bins Evans s the trustees for the ci editor, aud f 1,222. 75 went to S. II. Gardenhire for costs in litigation. Since Major Sims was appointed receiver on September 20, 1831, the sum of $7t,760.55 has passed through his hands. CAPTURED A MURDERER.

The Sclaool Board Electa Cliarlea 23. Welch FOR OST1UCT0R IH MATHEMATICS. Arrtitemtits for tbe Formal Dedi cation Other School Hatters. Charles B. Welch, son of President R. B. Welch, was elected a teacher of math ematics in the high school at a salary of $75 a month, by the board of education last night. The election was made on the recom mendation of Jesse Shaw, chairman of the teachers' committee, who said an ad ditional instructor in the department of mathematics was nf eded, and he knew of no one better fitted for the place than young Mr. Welch. President Welch said the position was a trifle embarrassing to him. He said he thought his boy was capable of filling the bid and he didn't want to stand in the way of his success. He asked that he be not considered in his son's candi dacy. He stated, however, that his son, after graduating from the high school, took a poet graduate course and utted him self for ashburn college, from which he graduated at the head of his class last spring. Mr. Beck stated that no apology was necesesry from the president, lie had known Mr. Welch and knew him to be well qualified to teach in the high school. While he was in the high school he was on the teachers' supply list, but aside from that he has had no experience in teaching. He is only twenty-three years old and a bright young man. The motion of Mr. bliaw carried unan imously. To Teach Greek. Suparinteudent Davidson asked the board if it wouldn't be a good ilea to add a class in Greek to the department of dead languages. Most all the up-to-date high schouls have them, he said. A great many people who go to high schools do so to fit themselves for the stato univer sity or seme college, and in order to make this connection, two years acquain tance of Greek is necessary. All tha members took the floor at once to ask the question, "Will it cost anything?" If it won't cost anything extra they would all like to have the dialect of Demosthe nes incorporated into the high school course. President Welch said that t.'ire if not four of the high school loachers were proficient Greek scholars aud could jut as well teach a Greek class as not. So such a ciass will be instituted, ex perimental at first, Dedication of the llih School. The time for dedicating the high school has not been set. Tlie ceremony will not take place until the building is entirely completed, which it isn't, quite. The mode of admitting people caused a long discussion. 1 he gentleman who suggested that it be an invitation affair was so completely squeiched that he moved his chair into a corner and stayed there. If invitalious are sent out there will be claims of unfair.!?? and dis crimination. So although tii re may be a rush, it will be better open to the pub lic. Thoje that cet there first can have seats, and when the room is full the doors will be closed and nobody can get in. At the suggestion of Mr. Beck every person who attends the grand opening will bo requested to bring a book to re plenish the high school library. Books useful ia science or lito ature and in fact anything but Ouida and Bill Nye will be acceptable, A book from each family will be enough. President A. II. Taylor of the State Normal school will be the orator of the day and R. B. Welch will talk for ten minutes. Willis Gleed was to have made a response on behalf of the citizens but he will be in England at the time. An attempt will be made to get George li. Peck. The Weighing; of Coal. Every year after the coal contract i3 let there is a lot of talk about weights and how to secure the moat pounds in a ton. This year it was decided that the ccal delivered at the city schools should be accompanied by a certificate of weight, or the bill for the coal wiil not be O. i.'d by the finance committee. Mr. Webster of the Green coal company, who hold the contract for the soft coal, was f resent by request to make suggestions. Ia said he didn't object to having his coal weighed but be didn't want to go out of his way to get it weighed. Coal for consumption on the north side of the river wiil be weighed on C. C. Nich olson's scales and coal for the south side at Davies' scales at First and Kansas av nue. General School Business. The enrollment at all the schools yes terday was 4,871, an increase over the first day last year of 278. Architect Holland recommended a cement sidewalk around the high school. J. W. Dolman, without being asked by the board, submitted a bid for the same. The board rejected the proposition and will adhere to brick. Bowers Martineau, the contractors, threaten to bring suit to recover $120 on a bill of extras, which the board claims it never ordered. The county and city teachers' associa tions were granted the use of the assem bly room for their monthly meetings. The state teachers association may also use the assembly room for one of the department meetings at its session dur ing the Christmas holidays. It was the first session of the board held in its new rooms in the high school building. There is a heavy Brussels carpet on the floor, and the new chairs are as luxurious as the legislative balls. The new desks haven't arrived yet. ED. MARTIN AGAIN. He Was Drank and Will Board With the City for Fifteen Days. There is little r no news in this, but it is a fact. Ed Martin was in police court this morning. Ed is one cf Judge En smingers most ardent followers, and the mere of the ardent he gets the more of a follower he is. Ed and his gang were in a box car in the Rock Island yards, and to use the expressive language of Officer Dagg, who arrested Ed, were "raising The rest of "de push" got away, but one of Ed's leg3 is longer than it ought to be and he found himself in the meshes cf the drunk ordinance.

The first political joint debate of the season in Topeka, took place last night at the colored Cumberland Presbyterian church on Thirteenth street. The de baters were J. K. Donnell for the Popu lists, and George Smith for the Repub licans. Rev. B. F. Foster and James H. Guy were included in the programme, as arranged, but did not debate. The meeting was arranged by the Pop ulists, but the Republicans came in and succeeded in capturing the honors. The question was: Resolved that the election of the Populist state ticket will be for the best interests of all the people. Each side was to have one hour, and J. K. Don nell led off for the Populists. He was followed by George Smith for the Republicans, who made a very good Republican speech. There were enough Republicans in the bouse to applaud every hit made by Smith, until the house shook with shouts and laughter. The Populists were silent until Smith said: "Who are these Populist any how;" Rev. Mr. Button a white man and an old Baptist preacher replied: "Anarcnists." Iustantly W. S. Decker also a white man and a fireman at the state house was on his feet. "I don't propose to be called an an archist," he thundered, shaking his fist at Button. "I am not going to sit here and be called an anarchist." Sit down; sit down;" yelled half a dozen voices and in the hub-bub Decker subsided. When Rev. Mr. Foster was called up on to follow Smith, he said he did not know he was to debate so he was excus ed and J. 1L Gay, the Republican speak er gave way and the debate was closed. The Republicans thed called for Guy and he proceeded to make a Republican speech. The Populist chairman, Jerry White, refused to act as chairman and went out to find Foster to reply to Guy, but Foster had gone home and could not be found. While he was speaking he was inter rupted by Rev. J. M. Harrington, the state house guide and the Republicans preaent shouted "put him out." "Oh, let him alone" said Gny, "he is an honest man." 'Not much" said Preacher Buttou. Rev.

Ia the little fan shown in Fig-. 1, pure white tail or wing' feathers are em ployed, and in the one represented in Fig 2, the pretty, brown-specked feathers from the tail of some departed Brown Leghorn "biddy" are used, thoug-h the beautiful feathers of the prouse and partridg-e are to be pre ferred if they can be found. The man ufacture of th first fan is quite sim ple. Some sixteen or eig-hteen perfect feathers are procured and rounded at the tip and trimmed about n little. The quills are cut o'g up to the web of the feather, and then the base of the quill still remaining pared olT fiat with a jackknife to allow proper sur face room to which the blender sticks rVA -Mv.

The tiny fan sticks must be very thin and smooth and not more than three-sixteenths of an inch wide. They are gilded and glued neat ly to the rosy feathers, ruimin? up a little on the wrong' side and having1 rounded or pointed ends. IU-ally the fan has no riht or wrong- side in this wa-. A little piak bow of rib bon is tied to one of the outer sticks. A spra3r of flowers runs across the feathers, pninted in oil colors in white and piak with a touch of pre on. The feathers are joined by a silken thread running throuyh the quills near the base and hidden by the overk: pping webs.

It is very stiff and covered with yellow plush, and the quills are jrlued into it fast and s.tronjr. A narrow yellow rib bon is woven through the quills next to the feathers, and below it a broader ribbon of the same shade. This latter extends out into a bow and g-encrous loop of ribbon.

For an ordinary fainting fit lay the patient lat. Great harm has often resulted from the treatment by ignorant people in trying to make the patient sit up, or propping up the head on pillows. To send the blood back from the heart to the brain, the flat posture is absolutely necessary. Let the patient lie so that the feet are higher than the head, throw the clothes about the chest and throat open, sponge the face with cold water and give some cold water to dri.jk. Table Manner In Persia. The Persian lady knows not the usa of the knife and fork, or, if she does, scorns to make use of them. All her food is spread upon t3ie floor and eaten with the fingers, a practice which, ia spite of numerous ablutions, still leaves the hands of the fair cue a trifle greasy. She eats frequently, more for distraction than frora hunger, and de Tours fruit, sweetmeats and pastry be tween meals, washing them down with copious draughts of sherbet. Altogeth er the fair Persian would seem to lead a particularly easy and aimles. existence. 1 .'if fa .t b-MMti-i j.-jJt 1 Y 21$ -.-V ttA'M 't 'A' I.

An S tr. ri Xaiaecl Lnnardi :i i Knjtland's Tirst L'alloon Ascension UOYears Agu. Special Correspondence. Loxdox, Sept. G. It lackd but a lit tlo now of bciug 110 years since the first balloon ascension took place in England, for on Sept. 15, 1 7S-1, a bal loon large enough to support a man's weight was first sent up from this is land with a man in tho basket. The aeronautical experiments of Montgolfier and others on the continent had excited i good deal of attention here, so much indeed that Horace Wal pole wrote deprecatingly of the craze late in 1783, saying, "Balloons occupy senators, philosophers, ladies, every body. There is no doubt that many believed that tho long locked for flying machine had at last been invented, not that many among the mere ignorant classes feared that the new f angled contrivance was made to float in the air by means of demoniac assistance. By far a moro intelligent element cf the population feared that, as it was a French inven tion, its first use -would bo for military purposes, and to recall this fact brings f-trangely to mind the predictions of Maxim and other enthusiastic fellows of today, who are ye: struggling with the perennial problem of man turning him self winto a bird, with the idea of using the invention, onco it fthall be perfect ed, for tho purposa Of destroying his fellow men in the most wholesale fashion. But this has little to do with the first balloon ascension. It was ono Vincent Lunardi, au attache cf tho Italian em bassy, who mado it. ITo had received permission to go up from the garden of the Chelbea hospital, but a Frenchman named Do Moret, who had a balloon prepared for au ascension a few days earlier, carelessly allowed it to take fire, to the great disgust of a vast crowd of spectators. They had confidently ex pected to see hira dashed to pieces by the collapse of De Moret's machine, and they raised such a riot over his accident that it was not thought compatible with tho young Italian's safety to allow him to ascend from so public a place as the I 3 HUN'G CHAN. Chelsea hospital grounds. De Moret's balloon was, like Montgolfier's earlier ones, lifted by hot air generated by a fire at the mouth of the bag. His car was provided with wheels, to bo used after it came down as the wheels of a carriage are used. Some said that he never intended to go up, and that he purpoiely set tho balloon on lire. At all events he got away with the money he had collected without giving any exhi bition, wherein his action has been often duplicated by adventurers of later years. Lunardi was, however, allowed to make his ascent from the artillery ground at Moorfields, a city artillery company being put under arms to see that no violence was done to either Ln nardi or his balloon. There was an enor mous crowd of spectators on hand to see the ascension. Lunardi's venture was without acci dent, and he landed safely in a Cold in Hertfordshire, where he frightened some laborers almost to death. He was for a time quite the hero of the hour, being presented at court and otherwise made much of. C. G. Bolles.

TABERNACLE PULPIT. 'HOLY COMPULSION" AS A SER MON TEXT. Dr. Talmasre Relates Some of 111 Per sonal Experiences Lights and Shadows of a Christian's Idfe Luxuries of t he Plain People of To-Day. Broohxti. Sept, 16. Rev. Dr. Tal mage, who is still absent on hia round-the-world tour, has selected for his (sermon through, the press for to-day: "Holy Compulsion," the text being Lvke li 23: "And compel them to come in. The plainest people in our day have luxuries which the kings and queens of olden times never imagined. I walked up and down the stairs of Holyrood palace a palace that was coneidered one of the wonders of the world and I said, 'Can it be possible that this is all there was of this re puted wonderful place?" And this is the case in many other instances. There are fruits in Westchester county and on Long Island farms far "better than the pomegranates and apricots of Bible times. Through all the ages there have been scenes of fes tivity, and the wealthy man of my text plans a great entertainment, and invites his friends. If one builds a a beautiful home, he wants his ac quaintances to come and enjoy it If one buys an exquisite picture, he wants his friends to come and appre ciate it; and it was a laudable thing when the wealthy man of my text, happy himself, wanted to make other people happy. And so thfi invitations went out; but something went very much wrong. Ye t can imagine the embarrassment of any one who has provided a grand feast when he finds out that the guests invited do not in tend to come. There is nothing that bo provokes the master of the feast as that Well, these people invited to this great banquet of the text made most frivolous excuses. The fact was, I suppose, that some of them were of fended that tl-.s man had succeeded so much better in the wcrld than they had. There are people in all occupa tions and professions who consider it a wrong to them that anybody else is advanced. I suppose these people in vited to the feast said among them selves, "We are not going to adminis ter to that man's vanity, he is proud enough now; we won't go; beside that we could all give parties if we made our money the way that man makes hhs." So when the messengers went out with, the invitations there was a unani mous refusal. One man said, "Oh, I have bought a farm, and I roust-go and look at it!" He was a land speculator, and had no business to buy land until he knew about it A frivolous ex cuse. Another man said, "I have bought five yoke of oxen." The prob ability is he was a speculator in live stock. He ought to have known about the cxen before he bougiit them. Be side that, if he had been very anxious to get to the feast, he could have hocked them up and driven them on the road there. Another frivolous ex cuse. Another man said, "Oh, I have married a wife, and I can't come;" when if he had said to his wife, "I have an invitation to a splendid din ner; it is highly complimentary to tne: 1 should very much like to go; will ycu go along with me?" she would have said, "To be sure I will go" Another frivolous excuse The fact was that they did not want to go. "Now," said the great man of the feast, "I will not be defeated in this matter; I have with an honest pur pose provided a banquet, and there are scores of people who would like to ccme if they were only invited. Here, tay man, here, you po out, and when you find a blind man, give him your arm and fetch him in; and when you find a lame man, give him a crutch and fetch him in; and when you find a pcor man, tell him that there is a plale for him in my mansion; and when vcu find some one who is so ragged .ana wretched that he has never been invited anywhere, then, by by the kindest tenderness and the mo6t loving invitation any one ever had, compel him to come in." Oh. my friends, it requires no acute ness on my part, or on your part, to see in all this affair that religion is a banquet The table was set in Pales tine a good many years pro, and the disciples gathered around it and they thought they would have a good time all by themselves, tut while they sat by ihe table the leaves began to grow and spread, and one leaf went to the east and another leaf went to the west, until the whole earth was cov ered up with them, and the clusters from the heavenly vineyard were piled up on the board, and the trum pets and harps of eternity made up the orchestra, and as this wine of God is pressed to the lips of a sinning, bleeding, suffering, dying, groaning world, a voice breaks from the heavens, saying, "Drink, O friends; yea, drink, O beloved: O blessed Lord Jesus, the Let friend I ever had, the best friend any man ever had. was there ever such a table? Was there ever such a banquet? From the cross uplifted high. Where the faviour designs to die, What melodious sounds I hear Bursting onthe rnviahed ear! Heaven's redeeming work is done. Come, and welcome pinner, come. Religion ia a joyous thing, I do not want to hear anybody talk about re ligion as though it were a funeral. I do not want auybody to whine in the prayer meeting about the kingdom of God. I do not want any man to roll up his eyes, giving in that way evi dence of his sanctity. The men and women of God whom I happen to know, for the most part find religion a great joy. It is exhilaration to the body. It is invigoration to the mind. It is rapture to the soul. It is balm for all wounds. It is light for all darkness. It ia a harbor from all storms, and though God knows that some of them have trouble enough now, they rejoice because they are on the way to the congratulations eternaL j l stopped one nightfall, yaara ago, at Freyburg, Switzerland, to hear the organ of world-wide celebrity in that place. I went into the cathedral at nightfall. All the accessories were j favorable. There was only one light i in all the cathedral, and that a faint S taper on the altar. I looked up into the venerable arches and saw the shadows of centuries, and when th organ awoke, the cathedral awoke. i and all the arches seemed to lift and j quiver as the music came under them? i That instrument did not seem to be j made out of wood and metal, but out of human hearts, so wonderfully did it pulsate with every motion; no laughing like a child, now sobbing like a tempest At one moment the music would die away until you could hear the cricket chirp out side the wall, and then it would roll up until it seemed a. if the surge of the sea and the crash of an avalanche had struck the organ pipes at the same moment At one time that night it seemed as if a squadron of spirits weeping up from earth had met a squadron of descending angels whose glory beat back the woe. Standing there and looking at the dim taper on J the altar of the cathedral, I said: "How much like many a Christian's life! Shadows hover, and sometimes his hope is dim, and faint, and flicker ing, like a taper on the altar. But at what time God wills, the heavens break forth with music upon his soul, and the air becomes resonant as the nnpels of God beat it with their shin ing sceptres." Oh, the Lord God has many fair and beautiful daughters; but the fairest of them all is she whose ways are pleasantness and whose paths are p.-ace! Now, my brothers and sisters for I have a right to call you also j I know some people look back on their 1 ancestral line, and they see they are descended from the Puritans or Hu guenota, and they rejoice in that; but I look back on my ancestral line, and I see therein such a mingling and mix ture of the blood of all nationalities that I feel akin to all the world, and by the blood of the Son of God, who died for all people, I address you in the bonds of universal brotherhood I come out as only a servant, bring ing an invitation to a party, and I put it into your hand, saying, "Come, for all things are now ready," and I urge it upon you and continue to urge it, j and, before I get through, I hoie, by the blessing of God, to compel you to i come in. I We must take care how we give the I invitation. My Christian friends, I think some times we have just gone opposite to Christ's command, and we have compelled people to stay out Some times our elaborated instruc tions have been the hindrance. We graduate from our theological semina ries on stills, and it takes rive or six years before we can come down i and stand right beside the great masses of the people, learning their joys, sorrows, victories, defeats, j We got our heads so brimful of theo 1 logical wisdom that we have to stand I very stra'h't lest they spill over. Now, what do the srreat masses of the peo j pie care about the technicalities of religion? What do they care about the hypostatic union or the dif ference between sub-lapsarian and i supra-lapsarian? What do they tare for your profound explanations, clear j as a London fog? When a man is j drowning he does not want you to i stand by the dock and describe the nature of the water into which he has J fallen, and tell him there are two parts hydrogen gas and one of oxygen gas, within common density of thirty nine Fahrenheit turning to steam 1 under a common atmospheric pressure of two hundred and twelve. He does I not want a chemical lecture on water; i he wants a rope. j Oh my friends, the curse of God on I the church, it seems to me. in this j day, is metaphysics. We speak in an unknown tongue in our Sabbath schools, and in our religious assem i blages, and in our pulpits, and how can people be saved unless they under stand us? We put on our ofiicial rowns, and we think the two siik balloons Happing at the elobws of a preacher give him great sanctity. The river of God"s trutli flows down before us pure and clear as crystal; but we take our theological stick and stir it up, and stir it up, until we can not Fee the bottom. Oh, for the simplicity of Christ in all our instructions the j simplicity he practiced when standing among the people, he took a lily, and said, "There is a lesson of the way I will clothe you;" and, pointing to a I raven, said. "There is a lesson of the way I will feed you; consider the lilies behold the fowls." I think often in our religious instructions we compel people to stay out by our church ar- j chitecture. People come in and they find things angular, and cold, and I stiff, and they go away never again j to come; when the church ought to be j a great home circle, everybody having j a hymn book, giving half of it to the j one next to him, every one who has a hand to shake hands, shaking hands the church architecture and the church surroundings Baying to the people, j "Come in and be at home." Instead j of that, I think all these surround j ings often compel the people to stay j out Now, let ns .all repent of our j sins and begin on the other track, and I by our heartiness cf affection, and j warmth of manner, and imploration of the Spirit of God, compel the peo ple to come in. How shall we lead sinners to accept the Lord's invita tion? I think we must certainly begin by a holy life. We must be better men, better women, before we can compel the people to come into the kingdom of Jesus Christ There are fine essays being written in this day about science and religion. I t 11 Tiie Kind of medicine you need is the old reliable tonic ar.d blood-purifier, i SARSAPAII LLA it can have no substitute. Cures others, j will cure you 70a the best argument in behalf o our holy Christianity: it is a good man, a good woman, a life all con secrated to Christ No Infidel can an swer it Oh, let vis by a holy example compel the people to come in. I read of a minister of the gospel who was very fond of climbing among the Swiss mountains. One day he was climbing among very dangerous places, and thought himself all alone, when he heard a voice beneath him say, "Father, look out for tha safe path, I am following." and he looked back and he saw that he was climbing not only for himself, but climbing for his boy. O, let us ba sure and take the safe path! Our children are fol lowing, our partners in business ara following, our neighbors are follow ing, a great multitude stepping rig lit on in our steps. O, be sure and lake the right path! Exhibit a Christian example, and so by your godly walk compel the peepie to come in. I think there is also work in the way of kindly admonition. I do not believe there is a person in this house who, if approached in a kindly and brotherly manner, would refuse to listen. If yon are rebuffed, it Is be cause you lack in tuct and common sense. But oh, how much effective work there is in. the way of kindly adomnition! There are thousands of men all round about you who have never had one personal invitation to the cross. Give that one invitation, and you would be surprised at the alacrity with which they would ac cept it I tell you to-day, my friends, of a great salvation. Do you understand what it is to have a Saviour? Ha took your place. He bore your s'.ns. He wept your sorrows. He ia here now to save j our souL A soldier, worn out in his country's service, took to tha violin as a mode of earning his living. He was found in the streot of Vienna, playing his violin, but after a while his hand became feeble and tremulous, and he could no more make music. One day, while he sat there weeping, a man passed along and said, "My friend, you are too old and too feeble; give me your violin; and ho took the man's violin, and began to discourse most exquisite music. and tha people gathered around in larger and larger multitudes, and the aged man held his hat, and the 2om poured in and poured in until the hat was fulL "Now," said the man who played the violin, "put that coin in your pock ets." The coin was put in tne old man's pockets Then he held his has again, and the violinist played more sweetly than ever, aud played until some of the people wept and some shouted. And attain the hat w.is filled with coin. Then the violinist dropped the instrument and passed off, and the whisper went, "Who is it? who is It?" and some one just entering the crowd said, "Why, that is Uuchcr, the great vio linist known all through the realm; yes, that is tiie great violinist" Ti.i? fact was, he had just taken that man's place and assumed his poverty, and borne bis burden, and piayed hia music, aud earned his livelihood, and made sacrifice fur the poor old m in. So the Lord Jesus Christ comes down, and he fiudsusin ou spiritual pen u ry, and across the strings of his own broken eart he strikes a strain ol infinite music, which wins the atten tion of earth and heaven. He talce our poverty. He p'.avs our music lit weeps our sorrow. He dies our death. A sacrifice for you. A sacrifice fot me. Oh, will you accept this sacrifice now? I do not single out this and that man, and this and that woman. But I say all may come. The sacri fice is bo great all may be saved. Does it not seem to you as if heaven was very near? I can feel its breth on my cheek. God is near, Christ N near. The Holy Spirit is near. Min istering angels are near Your glori fied kindred in heaven near. Youi glorified mother near. Your depar te l children near. Your redemption U near. IJIGUEIt THAN E VEIL Battery It ia Rarrnltril I'p to tiie I.arjcent N mubr.

A iispateh received here from Ping Yanir, Corea, dated yes terday, gays that every hour adds to the crushing: character of the Chinese de feat in the tattle at that place. It is added that the first estiriates were slight ly under the actual facts and the total of the Chinese, losses during the two day's battle is now said to be over 17,000 men killed, wounded and prisoners. The Japanese cavalry is continuing the pur suit of the Chinese who succeeded in es caping and detachments of troopers con tinue bringing in squids of captured Chinese. The Chinese prisoners who were not wounded were paraded yesterday morning- in a circle of the Japanese troops, ami it was seen that they numbered 14, 500. It is probable, however, that this number will be inereis;d during the next few days by the prisoners who are being constantly broug.it in by the Jap anese cavalry. Many of the Chinese captured wen found hiding in the quiet portions of the city. Besides, Gen. Tso Fonk-AVai, com-mander-iu-chief of the Manchuria army, who fought desperately to the last, and only surrendered wbut ho was badly wouuiei, the Japanese captured four other important cumin m lers of the Chi li e.se ford?, namely: (Jen. Tso Paok Woi, Gen Wei Ink Wei, Gen. Nayu Kow Enu and ien. Sei Kin Lin, practically all the effective Chinese staff. The Chines-) prison irs are to bo sent to Japan i:i batches of 1,000, on board Japanese transports at anchor in the Ta Tong river. N 0I1TJL TOPEKA.

DID THEY MEAN IT Are the Kansas Christian Endeavor Voters GOING TO LEAYS THE REPUBLICS? Editor LenlM Rotiy or the Christian Kndeavorer Mays That at Least of Them Will Vute the Tliird I'arty Titnet. The old party politicians who know all about the situation in Kansas, are not taking into consideration the fact that there is a new element in politics in this state this year. In the August number of the Kansas Endeavorer, th official organ of the Kansas Y P. S. C. E., Editor Lewis L. lioby stirred up a hornet's neet. Editor Roby published soma resolu tions adopted by the Y'. P. S. C. E. state convention, and in commenting on them took the ground that the convention meant what it said by the adoption of the reaoiutions, which are aa follows: See. 3. That we commend to the local socie ties the careful study of "Christian Citizen ship" in its hearing upon th political, social, moral and religions, life, in order to the attain ment of a higher and better standard ot citi zenship. 6ec. 4. That we pledge ourselves to labor for the suppression of vice, and immorai i:y, and intemit-raiiee. And, as tile suppression of tho suloon system is tile supreme issue ot" our state, we demand the enforcement ot existing laws on this subject; aud hereby ahsolve 6urse;ve from allegiance to any p-ilit.cai par.y that abandons prohibition in Kansas, even if tuat abaudoiimeut be the oowaruice of sileuce. In commenting on the resolutions Edi tor Roby said: "Since that time the Re publican, the Democratic and tho Popu list state conventions has been held, and each of them have positively refused to endorse or support prohibition. Theirs is the cowardice of silence." Several political organs at once pro tested that Mr. Roby did not represent the Christian Endeavorers of Kansns, and charged that he was trying to turn the organization into a political machine be cause ho said: "The only remaining party in the state, the Prohibition party, has taken a bold stand for the principles we advocate, and they invite our votes and support." In the September number of the En deavorer, Editor lioby says his p jsition has been generally indorsed by tho lead ing members of the organization which he represents. To a Statu Joch.val reporter toiay he said: "It is not my purpose to turn our society into a political machin?, buc I simply took the ground that tho reso lutions meant what they said, and I am now satisfied that they did. "The committee on resolutions which reported that resolution was composed of three preachers who had always voted and affiliated with the Republican party; they were Rev. B. L. Smith of Topeka, Rev. Wm. Foukes of Salina, and Rev. W. L Garges of Sterling. If these men had known that the Republican state convention would ignore prohibition when it assembled, they might not have reported resolutions worded just as those adopted by the convention, but I have been assured by the chairman of the committee on resolutions that I could have said nothing less and that the reso lutions meant just as 1 had interpreted them. "There are between 5,000 and 6,000 voters in our society in the state out of the 40,000 members, and about o',000 of that number are young men wiio will cast their first ballots this fail. I have heard from not less than two thousand voters in the society, either by letter or by meeting them personally, who agree with me that they will stind by the reso lutions adopted by the state convention. "Of course there ie a large number of voting members of the organiztion who will continue to vote the oid party tickets; some of them have personal reasons for so doing, but there will ba enough to act independently to make a showing which will convince the politicians for revenue only, that our demands must be recog nized if they want our votes. "I have just received a letter from II. W. Rule president of tiie Wichita C. E. Union, a man who has been a voter many years and he says my position is all right and is endorsed by a majortty of the members of the society in that part of the stato who will act independently ia politics this year for the first tim-3. "Personally I have always been a Re publican. I have voted the Republican ticket for the last eight years, but that party must be purified if it wants my continued support." In line with this action of the Y. P. S. C. E. to vote independently in politics and refuse to support any party opposed to or failing to endorse prohibition, the Methodist preachers in most of the dis trict conferences of the state have taken similar action. It is true that they have adopted reso lutions of a similar nature every yeur since prohibition has been an issue in Kansas and have continued to vote the Republican ticket, but this is the first year the Republican party has failed to make some mention of prohibition in its platform, so that it can be expected at least a small per cent of these preachers will vote independently this year who have heretofore allied themselves with the old parties. The political managers have not been figuring on this new element in Kansas politics, and it may be, if the vote is close at the November election, this independent vote will decide the result.

NEW JAPAX TREATIES. That Country Will be Xow Recognized a a Civilized Nation.. Washington, Sept. 18. The new treaties which japan is negotiating with the graat powers including the United States, are regarded in diplomatic cir cles as an event in international affairs quite aa important as the Chinese-Japanese war, as the treaties will for the first time give official recognition to Japan as one of the sisterhood of civilized nations and a treaty making power. The terms of the treaty with Great Britain have just been made public. A similar treaty is now being negotiated with this country, and it ia expected to be the second of new treaties to be signed. Then will come a like treaty with Ger many and other powers. The significant feature of this new series of new treaties is that they, for the first time, deal with the Japanese aa a civilized nation, en titled to the same treaty rights as the countries of Europe, or the western hem isphere. All of the Japaaese treaties now exist ing treat her aa a half barbarous coun try and are relics of the days prior to her advauce toward civilization in methods. The records of the state department show that the United States was the first to make a treaty of any kind with Japan and the first to send a minister there. The old treaty gave the United States a uniform tariff rate of 5 per cent ad valorem for sending goods into Japan, although this country was left free to im pose, such tariff rates as she saw fit against Japan. The new treaty will raise the Japanese ratea to six or eight per cent on the principle that the gov ernment is now able to enact a just and enlightened tariff law of its own. Another important change is in open ing up Japan to Americana and other foreigners. The old treaties restrict foreigners to certain designated treaty ports. Japan now proposes to throw open her entire country, making only one reservation against the alien ownership of land. FRICTION WITH CARLISLE.

United States Will Xow Become Factor in London Wool lixchansje. London, Sapt. 18. The fifth series of London wool sales of 1S34 begins tomor row and la.ts until the loth of October! In all 282,372 bales will be offered. In commercial circles here great interest atT taches to the sale, owing to the fact that the United States has at last enacted a free tariff. For years the United States has been the least important factor at the London exchange, their annual purchases of tine wools hardly totaling 15,000 bales. Now it is expected that they will change from the unimportant to a most prominent position. A number of Amer ican buyers have arrived for this sale and several buyers have unusually large orders on hand. T II E T PREFER TOi E K A. Palace Car 3Sen Would Rather Locate Here last Night's fleeting There was a good deal of enthusiasm at the Tradea Assembly meeting at the hall last evening to discuss the proposi tion of Messrs. L. Myers and C O. Allen in regard to establishing a plant in To peka for the construction of sleeping cars on the Pullman principle. P. E. Cook presided and the evening was devoted to the discussion of plans ia connection with the raising of the pro posed flO.OtiO of the $30,0 JO needed by the laboring men of the city. The idea was introduced by Secretary J. G. Samuel son and was to the effect that 100 Topeka men not capitalists take as many shares at 100 a share and pay for them in installments of $5 or $10 a month if desired. The plan was finally adopted with the amendment that the shares might be made as low as $25 where the purchaser did not feel like taking more. A committee consisting of P. E. Cook, W. D. Mills, Wm. Sullivan, John Jones, James Gallagher, and J. G. Samuelson, was appointed to solicit purchasers of stock on those terms, and report as to their success at the next meeting Friday night. They will also be at the citizens' meeting Wednesday evening at the coun cil chamber. Members of the assembly say that Myers and Allen favor Topeka, and will establish their plant here for less induce ment than anywhere else in Kansas. Annual II 1 f i ft Competition. Omaha, Sept. 18.

She was a fashionable woman at a fash ionable resort, and she had a very common sort of a man for a husband, who staid at home making tho money necessary for her to splurge on.
