STILWELU Before Mr. Slilwell leaves town it is rxpecterl that permanent diplomatic re laiions will have been established be tween this town and the Orient railroad. Mr. Stilwell, indeed, appeared in a mood for establishing friendly relations with nnyone whom he might meet when he left, the train at the I'nion Pacific sta tion today. The greeting between him pelf and Vice President K. Dickinson, on one side, and Mr. Crimes and I. W. Mulvane. acting in the rapacity of a re i eption commirtee. was extremely cor dlsil. When an exchange of ciiecKs and t.-ieirage bad been ef1,ted Mr. Srilwell pnd the others bundled themselves into' a hack and left. At the Toi.eka club pHtes for lunch eon were laid for Mr. Stilwell.

A. McNeal. Jno. K Frost, F. H. Crosbv. Senator Burton. C. Sierle. Dr. H. H. Keith, otis F. Athrrlon, Thomas Page, W. V. Mills, Chas. Wolff. The visit of Mr. Stilwell to To;,, ka has beep nromipen for several weeks. Its obie, t. of course, is to furnish an opportunity to secure an undei standing between the management of the rail road and the residents of Topeka about viint may be expected in the deveiot,. iti- nt of the husiness of the orient. That railway is in operation between Wich ita and Anthony in Kansas, and grading nd buiMin is now beins done for the completion of the line to Kansas City and in the other direction into tli" Ter ritory. As rejected the main line of the r,,-ient will lie south of Topeka 2h or SO miles. It has been announced freouentlv that, a connecting branch ex tending southeast from Topeka will be eome an important factor in Tonek.v transportation, but such announcements lureeuy iriini tne inyni 'ce ioao, .At tnis evenings gathering it is expected that President Stilwell will make known the intention of the Orient management in a manner "Inch will leave no further doubt about tiie;n. In his personal manner Mr. Stilwell is a very pleasant man to shake hands with. His introduction makes an op portunity for a laugh and a joke and he Is ready to be friends. He looks like a man whom it would be easy to ap proach for an "annual." Just now" he is not greatly annoyed hv such appli cations but he will be before so very many months. At the present time Mr Stilwell travels in the modest style ,,f a commercial man and in personal ap pearance he somewhat resembles one. He is a, large man of light complexion sandy hair and mustache. His man ner is assured but genial and he pos sesses ail the outward attractions of a good mixer. Later on when he has taken to a private car and becomes dif ficult of access like other railroad mag nates these things will be worth re membering. Killed by a Train Near Fort Scott. Fort Scott.

The feasibility 01' importing- Chinese labor ers lo work .n the gold mines of the Transvaal is a question which IT. floss Skinner fod if. II. Noyes, at present in this city, ar now on their way to the Orient ti investigate. "Since the close of the Boer war." said Mr. Noyes, "ruining in South Africa has gone ahead with tremendous strides, but the future development of the industry is seriously hampered by th want of cheap labor. There is not suftieient kaffir labor to operate the mines and the chamber of mines of South Africa has accordingly under taken to solve the labor question by looking into the feasibility of importing" Chinese labor. The idea of employing white labor is out of the question. White men will not work alongside of kaffirs. We think, however, that un der wise governmental regulations we will be able to get sufficient Chinese labor to meet the conditions. Mr. Skin ner and myself ere now on our way to the Orient to report to the chamber of mines on the apabilities of the Chinese as mine workers. At the pres ent time I think 10". 00c Chirese laborers could be profitably employed in the South African mines. To overcome po- lineal objections, it is proposed mat ine Chinese shall lie lndentui -a m c nma and taken to South Africa for a fixed term of years and upon the expiration I of their fixed term of service, will be I returned to their homes."

Those Who Will Sit Down With President Roosevelt. TWO SENATORS THERE. But No Congressmen Are to Be Present. White and Howe Invited at Re quest of President. Governor Bailey today made public the list of guests who have been invited to the dinner which he will tender Presi dent Koosevelt at the executive resi dence on the evening of May 1. Now those people who have been anxiously watching their mail for an invitation from the governor need suffer no fur ther anxiety. If they are not on the list and think they should have been in vited, they may lay it to the fact that the dining room in the executive resi dence was not built for state dinners, and the number w ho can be accommo dated is exceedingly limited. Not a single congressman is included in the list. The governor would not in vite one unless he could invite all and for that reason the congressmen were passed up. The same is true of the state officers. The congressmen and state officers alone would have filled the governor's dining room, had he Invited them, without leaving room for the president and his party. This is the first function of the kind which Governor Bailey has given and he has been exceedingly careful to recognize ail factions in making up his Ihe list is as follows: President Roosevelt. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university. William Lueb, jr., secretary to the president. Assistant Secretary Barnes. Surgeon CeneraJ Rixey. Judge W. C. Hook, representing the federal bench. Chief Justice W. A. Johnston, repre senting the state supreme bench. Senator J. R. Burton. Senator Chester I. Bong. D. W. Mulvane, member of the Re publican national committee for Kansas. Morton Albaugh. chairman of the Re publican state central commirteee. M. A. Low of the Rock Island. N. H. Loom Is of the T'nion Pacific. F. W. Howe of Atchison. William Allen White of Kmnoria H J. Bone, secretary to i he governor. Mr. Howe and Mr. White are invited especially at the request of the presi j dent. Mr. White, as is well known, is a personal friend of President Roose- velt. and there is a strong friendship i between the two. The president has never met Mr. Howe, but he has heard a great deal about him. and when he accepted Governor Bailey's invitation to the dinner when the governor was in Washington several years ago he ex pressed the wish that Mr. Howe be ona of the guests at the dinner in order that he might have an opportunity of meet ing the Atchison editor. Mr. Loomis was invited because of j his prominence in Kansas politics, hut more especially because the president j will be the guest of his road on passing I through Kansas. Mr. Low was invited also because of his political prominence I and also because of his personal ac quaintance with the president. Mr. Mulvane was invited as a repre sentative of the national committee and Mr. Alhau.gh as a representative of the state committee. Likewise Judge Hook was invited as the representative of the federal bnen and Chief Justice Johnston as the repre sentative of the supreme bench. The fact that Cyrus Leland is not a member of the party will doubtless cause considerable comment. Whr-n questioned as to why Mr. Leland was omitted Governor Bailey said: "Mr. Leland asked me not to consider him at all in making up the list. He was with me in Washington when I in vited the president to the dinner, he re alized that the capacity of my dining room is limited and that I would have trouble in drawing the lines in making up the list, and coming home from Washington he asked me not to include him in my list. I appreciated the gen erous spirit in which the offer was made and accepted it." BROKE AT 79. Armour Began Selling Wheat and Decline Was Uapid. Chicago, April 21. An attempt on ihe part of the Armour interests to unload part o their holdings of May wheat on the market today resulted in a decline in that delivery of olj cents within less than an hour. At the tirst intimation that the leading long was endeavoring to dispose rf some of his surplus stock selling orders came into the pit frrvm all quarters, the crowd having been watching for just such a move for the past week or more, and the price dropped so suddenly that many hro kers were unable to execute stop loss or ders until the pric had declined 1 and 2 cents below the point at which they had orders to sell. The opening on May was a shade to Vi3 cents higher, at TSV-T-V cents, and prices gradually advanced until 79 cents was reached, there being a good commission house demand. About noon the leader of the bull movement started tc sell and the price broke precipitately, dropping to lij1. cents within a short time. The recovery was equally as rapid, how ever, the price advancing from 75S cents to 77 cents in aoout two mmuies ana tne market steadied around 77 cents. July declined cents, selling off to 71l,a cents, but rallied again to 72 cents. A quieter feeling developed late in the day, and the market held comparatively steady. After selling up to 78c, May closed at 77c. at a loss of -V-. July was off 'tr?c, closing at 72415 Uc. Dropped Dead While Hosing. Paola. Kan., April 21. David McCu! lough died suddenly here Monday while hoeing in his garden. At the time of his death he apparently was in perfect health. He was a retired farmer 64 years old and had lived in this county 27 years. TO I it NEARLY ENDED. President Will Resume His Journey Friday Afternoon. Cinnabar. April 21. President Roose velt has about completed his tour r.f the Yellowstone park. Yesterday he was at Firehole geyser basin. Today he will return to the Norris geyser basin and go from there to the grand canyon, where the upper and lower falls are situated. He expects to return to the post headquariers Wednesday and will remain in that vicinity until Friday af ternoon when he will resume his trip. The members of the president's party who have been living on the train at Cinnabar since April 8 will probably join the president in the park Thursday morning;. Butte. Mont., April 21. A special to the Miner from Billings, Mont., says that President Roosevelt's itinerary has been changed to provide for a stay of one hour at Edgemont. r instead of five minutes as previously announced. This is done in order that the president may give a reception lo his numerous friends from the Black Hills country as his tour does not contemplate a visit to that section. Superintendent Pheian of Alliance, will be in charge of the pilot train, which will precede the president spec ial over the Burlington system, through Nebraska. EFECTI' Causes a Wreck on the 'Frisco Near Everton, Mo. Kansas People Among the Killed and Injured. Kansas City, Mo., April 21. Passenger train No. 103 on the Frisco sj-stein. which left Kansas City at 11:30 last night for Memphis and Birmingham, was partially wrecked near Everton Mo. north of Springtieid, by a defective rail at 7 o'clock. The etiEine, baggage, express and mail cars went into the ditch and were badly damaged.

Appeal Act from Wyandotte County Sustained by Court. One enactment of thereoent legislature has already been attacked and run the gauntlet of the supreme court, and the court has upheld it. It is the law con cerning appeals in Wyandotte county, which is applicable only to that county. William Rambo was convicted of some offense down there and he wanted to appeal, but asserted that he was too poor to pay for transscribing the record. The new law provides that the court stenographer must make the record and the county must pay for it in such cases. Joe Larrabee. the court stenog rapher, refused to make the transcript and set up the contention that the new law was special legislation and there fore unconstitutional. Senator .1. K. Cubbison applied for a writ of mandamus in the supreme court to compel the stenographer to make the transcript, and the supreme court up holds the new law. Th" opinion, hand ed down today, is as follows: "This is a proceeding to compel Joe Larrabee. the official stenographer, to make and furnish a transcript and rec ord in the case of the State vs. William Rambo. at the cost of the county, in accordance with the provisions of 'An act concerning original appeals m coun ties containing more than sixty-hve thousand inhabitant?, in certain case.' approved March 4, The defendant waives all questions except that he con tends that the act of the legislature is in conflict with section 17, article 2, of the state constitution, which provides that no special law shall be enacted where a general law can be made ap plicable. Fnder repeated decisions it must he held that this is not a valid objection to the law. This being the only question presented, no other is de cided. The peremptory w rit is allowed." Pushing the Orient Survey. Emporia, Kas., April 2L Monday an Orient surveyor's gang went to work on the grading west of Emporia and began setting stakes from Emporia. Ths men bes-an near West street and were out about two miles by noon. The Ori ent right of way is graded through Em poria and five miles west, but it was necessary to restake it as much of the dirt has washed away in the meantime.. This is the route which connects with Wichita, and the theory is that the grading gangs will again begin work on the Orient east of Wichita and west of Emporia. The surveyors started east a short time ago carrying the line to Kansas City. Passed 300 New Laws. St. Paul, Minn., April 21. The thirty third Minnesota legislature adjourned sine die this noon after passing some 300 new laws. The measures to give more power in control of foreign cor porations, which were intended to eovei the conditions made apparent by the Northern Securities company's expert, ences, failed to become laws, although a bill increasing the scope of the law against consolidation of competing and parallel railroads was more fortunate and became a law. Bankers to Meet in Frisco. New York. April 21. The executive council of the Ameiiean Bankers' as sociation met in this city today and de cided to bold the annual convention iiv San Francisco, not later than October 13 KICK THEM OUT. New iC Boss Busters Society Started in Topeka. Its Purpose Is to Dethrone the Machine" Managers. A SIGNIFICANT FACT. All Have Been Supporters of Burton. E. W. Hoch Talks About the Meeting. The anti-faction in Republican poli- tics in Kansas has been formally set in motion. It was started at a meeting I held at the National hotel late Monday j afternoon, which was attended by a dozen Republican politicians who are against existing conditions in the Re publican party in Kansas. Those w ho participated in the meeting axe extremely reticent about telling what was done or who is at the head o the new machine. It is reported that A. W. Smith was largely instrumental in starting the movement at this time, al though others have had the movement in mind. Ed Hoch suggested something o the kind two weeks ago, but he says he did not call this meeting and reached Topeka too late to attend it. In fact, he says he thinks it was a little early to start the new organization. Among those who are reported to be "in" on the new oraanization are the following: Two congressmen J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence and J. M. Millet- of Council Grove Four state senators Fred Dumont Smith of Kinsley. Hays B. White of Mankato, S. J. Stewart of Humboldt, and H. B. Miller of Osage City. Four representatives George E. Tucker of Eureka. J. N. Dolley of Maple Hill. A. G. Mead of Beloit, and George B. Hallenbeck of Leavenworth. Four editors E. W. Hoch of the Ma rion liecord. Harry Woods of the Wel lington News, Ewing Herbert of the Hiawatha World, and F. H. Roberts or the Oskaloosa Independent. Senator Smith is also an editor. Three plain "citizens on foot" A. W. Smith of McPherson, F. B. Dawes or Leavenworth, and Dr. Kemper of Maple Hill. This list will doubtless be considera bly increased, but these are the ones who were either at the meeting or who arrived later and "talked it over." Har ry E. Ricliter arrived during the even ing, but he denies any connection cith the "movement." The organization seems to be a sort of new boss busters' league, but the only original boss buster in the list seems to be A. W. Smith. The object of the new machine seems to be just ahrmt the same as that of the old boss busters' league to overthrow the pres ent leaders of the Republican party in Kansas. "The movement is entirely imperson al," said E. W. Hoch today, "but of course the reorganization and reforma tion of the party in Kansas may re quire the relegaiion to the rear of some of those who are now in control. I did not call this meeting or start it. al though I have been thinking of doing something of the kind. In fact I got in too late last evening to attend this meeting." "What sort of an organization was effected?" Mr. Hoch was- asked. "I don't know. I wasn't there," he replied. "There will be more of these meet ings, thougn. he contmueq. t nis is only a starter. We will hold them right alnog- whenever occasion demands." "Who has the power to call them?" he was asked. "1 don't know that. You see. the air is full of this movement all over the state. The organization will not he made up of any one faction, but will be composed of members of all factions. What we aim at is a reorganization of the Republican party so that it won't be run along factional lines. It's going to a great movement, too. I think it was a little early to start it, but the rank and lile of the Republican party will fall in with it. The feeling is all over the state." While the new machine claims to be anti-factional, it is noticeable that prac tically every man mentioned m connec tion with it was a Burton partisan in his senatorial race in 1901, and that only one of the number was for Senator Long in the recent senatorial campaign. That one was Senator Smith, who has since oroken with the present "ma chine." All of the balance, with two or three exceptions, were for Curtis last winter. ACCIDENT AT MEMPHIS. Witful, the New Orleans Derby Win ner, Has Her Jaw Broken. Memphis, Tenn., A pril 21. Because of an accident to Witful, Sam Hildreth's New Orleans derby winner, in the Hotel Gayoso stakes, for 3-year-olds at one mile, John W. Schorr's entry, Rightful and Pericles, finished first and second with The Don in third position. The race was run in a blinding rain storm. Witful was last in away from the post and trailing her field, took matters easy to the far turn. Here Hall sent her along, and turning for the wire, she passed all but Rightful and seemed to have the race at her mercy, when sud denly she ran into the inside fence with such force that her jaw was broken. Hall immediately pulled her up to steady her. Meanwhile Rightful and Pericles coming on, won first and second money handily. WILL BAR STUDENTS. Only Faculty and Women Allowed at This Basketball Game. Columbia, Mo.. April 21. A game of basketball has been arranged between the girls of Missouri university and the University of Kansas, to be played here Wednesday.

DEBOE WAS AGAINST IT. Yontsey Says He Thought It Unnecessary to Kill Goebel. Frankfort. Ky.. April 21. Henry Youtsey was today called for further cross examination in the trial of James Howard. Responding to questions as to ne gotiations with Dr. Johnson to kill Goebel Youtsey said he went to see Senator Deboe and told him Johnson and others v. ere willing to do it. Sen ator Deboe, according to witness, re plied that enough Democrats were go ing to vote with Taylor to retain him in office and it would not be necessary to kill Goebel. Deboe said it must not be done. Witness went back and told Johnson what Deboe said. Johnson told him not to pay any attention to Deboe but to go and see what Governor Taylor said about it. He went to see Tavlor and told him what Johnson said and Tavlor raised no objection to the plan of shooting from secretary of state's office. WAS A (ill EAT 11 ACE. Finish of the Twenty-five Mile Contest at Boston Was Close. Boston. Anril 21 Of fifty-five sturdy runners who started from Ashland at noon Monday in the Boston Athletic as sociation's annua! twenty-five mile run to this city, known as the Marathon race, forty crossed the finish line, the majority in good condition, with John C. Borden, of the Cambridgeport gym nasium, in the lead, and winner o the coveted Eold medal. While Lorden ran a grand race, over hauling man after man, until he finally strode into the lead, a mile from the finish, the feature was the great strug gle between John P. Caflrey. of Hamil ton, Ontario, who holds the record, and Samuel A. Mellor. jr.. of the Mohawk Athletic club, of New York, and th winner of last year's contest. Carfre started in the lead, but Mellor was right at his heels, and so warm was the con test, between them that at the end of ten miles they were even with the rec ord. Mciior, however, ran bis opponent off ''is feet and Oaffrey dropped out about teii miles from the finisn. The terrific pace also proved exhaust ing to Mellor. and when Lorden, who had played a waiting game, came up and challeneed him within two miles of the finish, the New York man had little Ftrer.gth with which lo respond. He e-x -trted himself gamely, however, and suc ceeded m a few minutes in regaining the lead from Lorden. hut it was only for a natter of a hundred yards. Lor den being in good shape had no diffl. cutty in taking the lead and crossing thr tape in fine shape, but nearly 12 minutes bchir.d. .he record, while Meilor was sec end. nearly six minutes later.

Sells Downs' Taxes Are Not So Large After All. The Sells Downs circus will have to pay taxes in Shawnee county. No less than two assessors have been after the. show. Assessor Rowles, in Topeka township, decided that as the show was at the fair grounds, in his district, that he would assess the concern in his township. He taxed it on a valuation of $12,000. Then Assessor Watson, in Tecumseh township, decided that as the. horses had been wintered on the Sells farm east of town that he would get a whack at it. Rowles was first. William Sells, and his attorney, Eugene Hagan, appeared before the board of county commissioners to object as the show is a traveling aggregation stopping in Topeka only temporarily. The board finally agreed to reduce the valuation to 58, 300. Then the show will be assessed on half of that, which will be $4,150. and the tax will amount to $100. If the taxes were much higher the show might winter next year where tH.x js, would not be thaxged. COURT ALL WR0I1G Thirty-four Points of Error Al leged by Counsel For Northern Securities Com pany in Their Appeal. EXCEPTIONS NOTED. Ia ETery Paragraph of the Judges' Decision. They Declared That the Case Should Hare Been Dismissed. St. Paul, April 21. Thirty-four points of error are alleged by the counsel for the Northern Securities company ami other defendants in their appeal from the decision of the circuit court. Ex ceptions are noted to every paragraph in the decree and the court is declared to be in error in rendering any decree save one for a dismissal of the petition and proceedings. Among the points ara the following: "The court erred in finding and decid ing that the Northern Securities schema as aforesaid erroneously found by it to have been devised and consummated, placed the control of the railways of said Northern Pacific and Great North ern roads in the hands of the Northern Securities company and destroyed every motive for competition between eaid two railways by pooling their earnings for the common benefit of the stockholders of both railway companies and erred in finding and deciding that such schema or any pooling of earnings was ever con templated or to have been made. "The court erred in holding and de ciding that all contracts and combina tions which merely tend to restrain in terstate commerce whether by suppres sion of competition or otherwise, are in themselves and although such tendency docs not result in any such restraint, violations of the act of congress of July 2. ISsO. known as the anti trust act. "The court erred in holding and de ciding all contracts and combinations which merely confer the power to re strain interstate commerce whether by suppression of competition or otherwise, arc evasive contracts or combination iu restraint of such commerce and declarer! illegal by the anti-trust act, though such power is not and not intended to be exercised. "The court erred in holding and de ciding that every combination whereby the power is acquired to suppress com petition between two pRrailel and com peting lines or railroad operating under state charters and engaged in Inter state commerce is a combination in vio lation of the said anil-trust act, whether such power is exercised or intended to be exercired, or not. "The court, erred in holding' and de ciding that it would have been a viola tion of said anti-trust act had the indi vidual defendants in pursuance of a previous agreement so to do. sold their shares of slock in the defendant railway companies to a natural person, and had induced their fellow shareholders to do the same, with the resulting acquisition, by such individual of a majority of the stock of each railway company. "The court erred in holding and de ciding thSt the interstate commerce of each defendant railway is controlled hy its shareholders and not by its board of directors. "The court erred in holding and de ciding that the Northern Securities company controls the commerce of both of the defendant railway companies, though by the charter of each com pany the management of its business ia vested in its board of directors and th companies must have separate and dis tinct boards of directors. "The court erred in holding the own ership of a majority of the shares of each of two competing railway com panies gives all th owners of such shares a control over each of such com panies and its commerce. "The court erred in holding and de ciding the constitution and composition of railway companies chartered by states or organized under state laws, but carrying on interstate cominerci are themselves matters of interstate commerce, and as such, subject to reg ulation by congress and in holding and deciding that under the commerce clause of the constitution, congress ha 4 power to prescribe who may and shall not be shareholders in such com panies, and how much stock any on-i stockholder or combination of stock holders may own in any such capacity, and to authorize and forbid the consol idation of such corporations or any of them. And erred in holding and decid ing tnat the acquisition and holding of such stork in every company and ail matters of their interna! constitution and composition are not matters over companies is not within the exclusive t- th siate or states hv or uti- ted by or under state laws, and com petitors in interstate commerce, are ef fectual restraints upon such commerce and that such consolidations, though exnressly authorized by state charter, are violations of said anti-trust act and illegal. The court erred in finding and de luding that 'The reasoning which led to the acquisition of that (the said New Jersey) charter was that while a? indi viduals the promoters could not by agreement among themselves place the majority of the stock ot tne two com peting and parallel railroads in the hands of a sincle person or a few per sons, giving him or them the power f operate the roads in harmony and stifle competition, yet that the same persona might create a purely fictitious person termed a corporation. which could neith er think or act of as they directed. and by placing t';e same stock in the name of such artificial being, accom plish the same purnose. "The court erred in holding and de ciding that the rxistiner combination gives to a few m-n acting in concert and in the name of the Northern Secu rities company and under cover of its charter, the notvcr to control all th5 means of transportation of defendant' company, and to directly control said company and all their commerce. tConLiaueil an Fase, SiiU

It is the regular "black diph theria" in its most mr.lignant form and it Is believed the entire family will be wiped out by it.

Brooklyn Inventor Expects Pneumo' slito to Invade Frozen North. New York, April 21. The pneumosiito has been invented to conquer the frozen north, it is a sort of in ice automobile and Inventor J. B. Maelhiff of .31 Linden street, Brooklyn, declares it will make 20 mib's an hour against the fiercest gaie that ever raged. It has been tested and found to be tlte real thing in up-to-date antes. The pneumosiito is the propeller of the machine. MacDuff believes lirnily in his own device. "My iceboat," said the inventor, "de pends not upon a fair wdnd. or, indeed, upon a wind of any kind, except the wind it makes itself., H may be a dead cairn or it may be a gaie blow ing. It's all tile same to an iceboat driven oy the pneumosiito. To tell the truth, and, strange as it may eppear to the lay mind, it will go faster agaiti.ft a wand than with it, and the si l onger the headwind the faster the boat goes." MacDuff's machine is about twelve feet long and four feet wide. A tiny three quarter horse power gasoline engine fur nishes the motive power. The pneumosiito is not unlike the ordi nary propeller placed in the rear of naphtha launches. Tile wheel is fotir feet in diameter and the blades are inclosed in a band of steel 12 Indus wide. The blades of the pneumosiito are about lti inches wude and propels the boat by beating against the air. They are set diagonally in the wheel of the propeller. And Son Suffered Chronic Headache.

Hoosier Fighter Says He Is as Fast as Ever in Career. Detroit, Mich., April 21. A rumor that has gone the rounds to the effect that "Kid" McCoy will not be in the best of shape for his battle with Jack Itoot in Detroit Wednesday night is bi-anded as untrue by McCoy himself in a letter to the Metropolitan Athletic club officials. McCoy writes that he is already down to weight and that his condition at present is as good as It has been at any time in his ring career. McCoy just now is indulging in a lot of road work and is developing his wind for the hard contest he expects to have. Neither one of the contestants under rates the other and both respect the other's ability. Summed up, the bout should be fast from start to finish and followers of both men look for a knock out before the end of the tenth round. The preliminaries will bring together Bert Collins of Cincinnati and Danny McMahon of Detroit in one bout and A Ivan Beaubien of Detroit and "Dusty" Miller of Chicago in the other. "Bat" Masterson of Denver has been selected to act as referee in the main event. CAPTAIN WARE WIX.Ii PLAY. Charges of Professionalism Against Baseball Leader Are Cleared. Madison, Wis.. April 21. Julian V. Ware, the big captain and first base man of the University of Wisconsin baseball team, who was called before the athletic council and temporarily disqualified, will, play in the opening college game of the season. He has cleared himself of the charges of pro fessionalism, but is still under the ba.ii of delinquent classroom work. The situation is at present that he will be allowed to play in the home games, but will not be able to accom pany the team on its trips. Mueller, one of the best pitchers in the Wiscon sin squad, is out of the game for good and all, rrav7tig beerf -found guilty of playing professional' ball last summer. It is said three other leading Wisconsin players are being. investigated for sim ilar charges. Q,ueer Offer to Yanger. Chicago. April 21. Sam Summerfield has posted J1.000 forfeit as a guarantee that he is willing to bet $4.0t0 against $5,000 that Benny Yanger cannot make i 122 pounds ringside and knock out both "Kid" Herman and Morris Rauch in 20 rounds. The forfeit is the outcome -of a wordy war between Summerfield and John Hertz, manager of Yanger. Sum merfield is of the belief that Yanger cannot make 122 pounds and be. fit to fight, and expressing this opinion, he made the statement that he would back either Herman or Rauch against Yanger at this weight. Hertz then came back with the retort that Yanger could knock out both of Summerfleld's men in one night and that he would make Summerfield a present of $1,000 to make a $5,000 bet on such a match. Summer field lias posted his forfeit in order to prove his sincerity, claiming at the same time that he will make Hertz back water on the proposition. It is a generally admitted fact that Yanger, McGovern and the majority of the so called feather weights cannot make 122 pounds at ringside, and there is little chance for a match such as that for which Summerfield's forfeit calls. Sum merfield, however, says if this proposi tion is not accepted he may make one which is more advantageous, and if the controversy continues, some sort of a handicap bout may yet be arranged.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, APKLL 21, 1903. 3 RAILR0ADJ1EVJS. California Limited AVill I5e Kun Again. V. J. lilack Denies Reports of Its Iieing Discontinued. SUCCESSFUL SUA SON. Earnings of the Train Have lSeen Enormous. Will Be a Semi-Weekly Train i During the Summer. There has been some talk lately to th rff'.ot that the season which will shortly be closed has been a very unsuccessful one f' r the Santa Fe's limited train to j Califoi nia and that it is therefore to be I pien up as a bad job and discontinued. J This, together with the following from j San Ucrnai dino. which is exactly con trary to statements given out by them, hns fcu'-ceeded in making local oflicials very waim under the collar: limited trains on transcontinental lines are said to be doomed; railway me.i assert that they are money losers tor the companies operating them and thai they have no good points to keep them in service. Already the Rock Island svstern has announced the abainK.nment us Golden State Limited a-ter May 1; the Santa e is said to contemplate me abandonment of its limited service, and the Sunset Limited may be repiaceu by a I rain giving regular through serv i i hut playing no lavorites." Vtstcrday when the above was shown to w J. (Slack, general passenger agent for the Santa Fe, he said: "So far as the Santa Fe is concerned there is positively not a word of truth in it. ami considering the tact that the i'alii'-rnia Limited has been just as suc cessful this Ijst season, if net more so. than it has in former ycais, I cannot t"e how such a rumor ever originated. "We have just lately h en compli menting ourselves that the train has been so successful, and so far as I know all statements that have been given out have he n to this effect. Coitsuiei-ini; the fcimial conditions durlna last sea Son acrid. -nts have been few and far be tween, and the equipment of the train is prneth ally as fi-od as it was when it was put in sei vice last fall. "Of course there may he something i ri the wind that has not yet r. ached me, but I hardly think that this is probable. If the train was to he discontinued per manently President Riph y w ould be the pe: son to authorl:-.e such action, and ir nr has done or even contrmnlates i doiru: fo, I am surf1 that we w.uld re c iv- notice here Iouk before the Unit? f..i- it to be taken tiff, in order that wt miHhl make preparations and advertise the No such notice has betui re- "Of course when California tourists have returned to the east and traffic no l n. ssit.ites the running ef the Limited, the daily trams will be taken off and it will Vie run as a semi-weekly train leaving Chicago em whatever days of the week that are considered to be most favorable. Hut this action does not signify in the least that th Limited is lo he discontinued, on account of the fact that ihis has been done every sum mer since the train was first put on about ten years afro. It costs a great d.-al of money to i tin a limited train and no lailroad can afford to run one whn pa.-s.-tiKer traffic is light. "As to the part of the story about the Sunset Limited 1 ean say this; The real Sunset Limited was dis.-ontinued seviral years ago and the Southern Pa cific has had no limited train since that time. I suppose that it did not prove to he a paying investment. When this train was taken off it was substituted with a regular through train from New Orleans to California, such as the Santa Fe'J" No. 1 and No. I1, but although the equipment of the train was changed the name was not anil it is still known as the Sunset Limited. This train's equip ment is oeimposeei partly of chair cars and roaches and seconel class transpor tation is accepted which fact precludes the use of the word 'limited.' This chance took place about three years ago o you see whoever wrote this story was a little late in setting- the news-. "Of what the Hook Island intends to o with their Golden State Limited I know nothing but you can say positive ly that as long as traffic on the Santa Fe continue? to be as heavy as it has been during the last season, just so long will the California Limited leave Chi cago for San Francisco. After that I tuiiinot say what will happen." Another Wreck at Lamy. The Las Vegas papers report cent freight wreck near Lami re- the i Y XKS t A- h Best for stopping hair from falling; out.

Kew Line Said to Be Under Survey by the Santa Fe. If we are to believe the rumors we hear New Mexico will be full of Santa Ke and Rock Island cut-offs within the next year or two. The latest is a story published in a Denver paper, to the effect that the Sant;i Fe cut-off from Syracuse. Kan sas, is not tiie one which comes through Kcl-'n. hut will make a bee line for i'no Lu;M" l i,': Tms !s ?001 news i;deed v... n, uriirvuii n. uu- til tne ions suffering- officials are obliged to make their usual little speeetl j d.-nying the rumor. The story runs as I follows: n.j-'.t i:ii;uiuutj mat occupies the extreme southeastern corner of Col orado, will have a railroad within the next two years. It wiil be the Santa Fe. Santa 1-e surveying parties went intivi the neid last week tei survey the cut oft' from Syracuse. Kan., to a point nenr Albuquerque to avoid the moun tains as well as to shorten the Chicago Sau Francisco line. Baca county is without a railroad and is only sparsely settled. Its southern boundaries are New Mexico and Okla homa ami its eastern boundary. Kan sas. Its iseilated position, far frem a railroad, makes it one of the interesting counties in Colorado. It belongs to Las Animas and Powers counties in representatn in the state legislature. It is devoted almcst whedly to cattle. The cut-off promised by the Santa Fe and which parties are now survey ing, commences at Syracuse. Kan., just over the Colorado line. The road wiil probably enter Baca county so as to cut through the southeastern cor ner, and then across a corner of Okla homa and thence into New Mexico to Aibunuerque. Only forty niiics of the road will be in Baca county and about the same mileage in Oklahoma, accord ing to the estimate of the engineers. While the mileage will he slight, it will give P.aca county its railroad and will be of immense benefit to that cor ner of Colorado. The cut-off traverses a country now devoid of railroads and it is the belief that business originating along the line will in a few years pay for its construction, although it is lo be built solely to save crossing the mou ntains. At present the Santa Fe has heavy mountain grades to contend with in southern Colorado and particularly in northern New Mexico. The road tra verses the mountains and two engines are needed on every passenger train, while freight trains must be cut in two to make the crossing. In addi- tion there is one place where wasnouts occur three and four times a year. sometimes tying up the road for three j or four days. In winter rotaries must be kept almost constantly at work to avoid blockades. This cut-off. aside from shortening the Chicago-San Francisco mileage.wiil avoid the mountains. It will be an easy trade and there are no engineering ob stacles to overcome. The? country to be traversed is flat and open. The engineers surveying the line are now said to be almost within Baca county, working now In Beaver county. Oklahoma. It is believed that the en tire route can be surveyeel this summer and it is said construction will begin early in the fall. ROCK ISLAND SPECIAL. Will Run Train from Topeka to We thena on April 25. The Rock Island announces that a special train wiil be run from Teipeka to Wathena on Saturday. April 25, to ac commodate the Odd Fellows who will be in Topeka on that day to attend their eighty-fourth anniversary and who wish to return to their homes that nighr. Most of the members of the leidge will arrive in Topeka on the regular trains. The train will leave Topeka at U o'clock and the out. of town people, who will be here to see Sells Downs' circus, which is to sheiw on the same tlay, can take advantage of this train to return to their homes that night.

San Bernardino Shops of Santa Fe Doing Much Work. Some time ago an article was pub lished, says the? San Bernardino Sun, showing that the Santa Fe shops in this city were fast becoming the second plant of imjiortance on the system, To peka being the exception. At the time the article was se-offed at by the Albu querque and other railroad papers, but the arguments in proof of the assertion are becoming more numerous as days go by. One of the strongest points in favor of the local shops was picked up by a man in his rounds yesterday. During the present month no less than twenty one coaches have been or will be over hauled, repaired and sent out of the local car stmp. All are standard sized cars, including one private coach, that of Superintendent W. B. Beamer, and makes the recorel of almost one car a day within the working month.

The San Bernardino Times-Index says that a little intcrmation has leaked out that before the end of the month a few important changes will be announced there and at Port Richmond. From a certain .semi-official source it is learned that there is contemplated a change'in some of the departments which wili result in transfer ring; to the northern shops certain head of ficials, whose places will either be supplied from the north or east, though it is inti mated that eastern men will be appointea to the vacancies. "If this antieipated change occurs," saiel the informant, "It will be on account of the heavy and im portant work which the shops at Port Richmond will have to do as a result of the extension of the Santa Fe into the far northern counties, though from what can be learned it is the intention of the com pany to establish repair shops at Eureka. "Don't announce just now. at least don't state emphatically that such is the inten tion, for you know there's no telling for a certainty just what will come of the ad vent of the Santa Fe into Humboldt coun ty, but it is quite certain that the shops will go to Kureka, if the company can ac quire the right of way they are now seeking.''

Although the Kansas Southern rail road had one representative in the leg islature last winter or rather one state senator it will probably not be accused of using undue influence as a railroad corporation on the legislature. In fact the Kansas Southern railroad is not extensive enough to exert a very great influence over anything-. According to its report as filed with the state board of railroad assessors, it has 1-3 miles of road, extending from Blaine to Westmoreland, Pottawatomie county. It is Senator Codding's line. The line proper is assessed at $15,000. The road has three depots and one engine room on its line, and they are assessed at a total valuation of JT50. But it is in rolling stock that the Kansas Southern railroad comes to the front. It has two locomotives, but one of them is of such little value that the owners did not place a valuation on it, but the board assessed it at $300. The other is. assessed at $1,200. The line has one Wagner coach, assessed at $1,000; two box cars, assessed at $300; and three flat cars, also assessed at $300. But while the Kansas Southern line is not very great and mighty, it is a great convenience to the people of Westmoreland, the county seat of Pot tawatomie county. It is the only rail road connection the town has with the outside world. AH REST YOUNG WHITNEY. Held in $300 Bail to Answer for Speeding Automobile.

The imports Into the United States exceeded one billion dollars in the 11 months ending with March, 1903. This Is the first time in the history of our foreign commerce in which the imports in 12 months have exceeded $1,000,000,000. SYior to 1870 they had never reached aa muth as a half billion dollars In a sinCle year, and it was not until 1S90 that they reached three-uuarters of a million dollars in value, and now for the first time they have passed the billion dollar line. Meantime the ex torts have grown with, like rapidity. In the 12 months ending with March. I'jO.'!. the total exports were $1,444,7S6.934, agafcest $1,001,569,683 of imports, giving an excess of exports during the 12 months of $413,190,271. Kxports never reached a half billion dollars" value hi a single; year until after 1870. In 3S0 they passed, for the first time, the three-ciuarters uf a billion dollar line; in 1-S92 they for the first time exceeded Jl, 1100,000,0"'), and in-the 12 months end ing with March. 1903. they were $1,414. 7S6.9:.4; and should the exports of April, May and June average as high as those for March, they would bring the total exhortations for the fiscal year past the Jl.i'TJ.OOO.OoO line. The growth in imports lias been espe. dally marked1 during the past five years. In the 12 months ending with March, 1S99, they were 630 millions in cable; in the Rj months ending with March. 1300, S:VS millions; in the 12 months ending with March, 1902. 902 tnillions: and in the 1 months ending with March, 1903, $1,001, 596,63. This increase in importation is chiefly in manufacturers' materials. While the details of the March imports are not ytt completed by the treasury bureau of i-Mt istios. the figures for February and for the eight months ending with Feb ruary show a marked increase in the proportion which manufacturers' mate rials form of the total importations. In the month of February alone manufac turers' materials formed more than 50 per cent, of the total imports, while in February, lnov, only 47.4 per cent, were manufacturers' materials. In the eight months ending with February, 1903, manufacturers' materials amounted to a-'riillion dollars, against 270 millions i-i tie corresponding months of the pre ceding year, an increase of 0 million Ioll.-i.rs, or nearly L0 per cent. THE STKEET AND THE MEKGER Wall street sentiment regarding the Northern Securities decision, as voiced by Henry Clews in the Financial lie view, appears to regard the court's ac tion as a good thing for the country and for business interests in genera!. The lie view says: Wall street has recovered from the first shock of the decision against the Northern Securities company, and is finally inclined to take a better bal anced view of the consequences. It is now recognized that while this decision is likely to be confirmed by the supreme court of the United States, and while it will force financial leaders to abandon the contemplated series of mergers, some other more lawful method will be found of preventing suicidal competition between ttie railroads. The first object of this Northern Se curities plan was to give the eommuni t y-of-interest idea some permanent form, it being recognized that shippers wanted stable and reasonable rates, while stockholdeis considered them selves entitled to fair returns. There is no question that these objects can be se cured by less objectionable and by more legal mc tlioi s than through the North ern Securities company or the security holding corpon-tion. The latter device possessed highly dangerous possibilities. Carried to the extreme, it would in time place the hole lailroad system of the United States in control of very few men; in fact a single master mind might control the whole. Such a possi bility is staggering. If power of this port fell Into the hands of men not to. be trusted, what would be the oonse ouenoe? And low would the masses of voters in the United States view the growth of a power within the United States rivalling and capable of defying the national government? It is quite unnecessary to go farther. The Northern Securities company, if Ftistain"d by the courts, would certainly have resulted first in wholesale mergers Of railroad and other corporations; then a speculative boom of unknown ciirnen- sions would have followed; and this would just as purely have been succeed ed by violent political disturbances and stock market reactions, the conse quences of which no one could predict. There can be no douht, now that sober second thought has the sway, that this decision has saved the country from serious financial and political excesses. For a time Wall street would have en Joyed a high decree of seeming pros perity, a s.trt of speculative debauch, the penalty for which would fall chiefly not upon its promoters but upon invest ment classes and the people at large. Our escape Is a subject for honest eelf congratulation. EDITORIAL, COMMENT. The Crimes ot Indolence. Cleveland Leader: Indolent women, women who drink Mine and cocktails, were at the bottom of the hideous scandal and the bloody crimes which have recently made Buf falo notorious. At least one man has gone to his grave disgraced and reviled. Hut the central figures in this wretched affair were vornen, lazy women, drink ing women, and, of course, immoral women. It was established long ago that the devil finds plenty of employment for idle hands and minds, especially for idle minds. In these days of luxury, of the belief that rewards can come without labor and that harvests can be reaped when no crops have been sown; in these days when everyone, almost, wants money and leisure, when the short cuts are filled with struggling men and wo men, w.hen it is no longer fashionable to hold to some of the principles which have made this country great, it Is not difficult to discover the causes which prompt the violation of the laws against morality and wholesome living. Presi dent Roosevelt has taken his stand on the question of marriage, and has spoken with candor concerning the duty of men and women in their home rela tions. He is a believer in large families. He thinks that patriotism calls for chil dren, and that is true enough. But be yond the question of patriotism is the question of morality. Large families mean employment, or ought to, and em ployment, as a usual thing, means vir tue and right living. A busy man and a busy woman have no time for frivoli ty or for vice. But there is a belief among certain persons that children can be reared without labor. This is not so and can never be so. Women cannot successful ly rear families by proxy. They cannot turn over their children to nurses, gov ernesses, and school teachers. Many women do this, however, and society here and there gathers the dragon teeth in the harvest of crimes against society and moral laws. The women who have made Buffalo shameful either had no children at all, or, if they had children, they turned them over ttj some one else to rear and train. Thus, from havitlg escaped obligations and the toil which motherhood brings, they were free to roam the streets and to bring about that condition which ultimately destroyed the honor of one family and resulted in a murder, and, perhaps, a double sui cide. If these women had been busy, even if they had done nothing more than collect postage stamps or "butter flies or hotel menus, or if they had taken lessons in cooking, or dressmak ing, or had learned to burn leather or decorate teacups, and had stuck ever lastingly to the jobs they had picked out for themselves, they would hove saved themselves from dishonor and the world from a disgraceful spectacle. Work is the greatest moral force in the world. Mothers who desire to see their children happy, to see them use ful, to see them worthy members of so ciety, should hold fast to the doctrine of labor. The tragedy at Buffalo teaches a lesson, and it is to be hoped that some good will result from that shocking affair. A Gruesome Ejho. Brooklyn Times. What a gruesome echo of Dewey's great victory in Manila harbor was brought to light when the Keina Chris tina, the ill-fated (lagship of Admiral Montojo, was floated a day or two ago. In the neighborhood of SO skeletons of the vessel's crew were found in the hulk, having gone down with the ves sel when she sunk under the terrible fusillade of shell from the American shin?. Nothing in modern times seems to so eloquently illustrate the destructive na ture of a naval combat as this discov ery aboard the battered flagship of the defeated Sranish admiral, and nothing could point so truly and convincingly to the accuracy of the fire by the gunners of Dewey's vessels. The hull of the Keina Christina was riddled with shell holes, no less than 15 being easily dis covered, and after only a cursory ex amination. Some of the crew, there fore, represented by the skeletons found must have met death from the rain of shot from the American shins, and not by drowning, from the sinking of their vessel. It is to the credit of the Spanish resi dents of Manila that they remember the courage and heroism of their coun trymen, who defended their ships to the last against the terrific onslaught of the American squadron. These people have requested that the bones of the sailors lie turned over to them for ship ment to Spain for burial. Their request will doubtless be acceded to, and a United States transport steamer will probably be offered them to afford the necessary transportation. This will be a graceful and kindly action on the part of our government, and will go far to encourage cordial relations between the two countries. Women Newspaper Makers. New York Commercial. The "eternal feminine" and how it will solve the journalistic problems o: the twentieth century are receiving further consideration in a physical manner at Cambridge, where worn :n have secured possession of the Pits i and set about its regular production without the assistance of men in any capacity except where laborious work, overtaxing the energy of women, is to be done. The exception is in the male pressman. The news gathering, editing, typesetting and so forth are all done by women. The venture promises hopefully. Wo men are a great and valuable auxiliary to the daily press in all cities, so why should they not, with Jhe knowledge acquired, conduct separately and suc cessfully their own newspaper? There are many branches of newspaper work politics and the like where women can never hope to excel, but in most there is nothing to hinder. Of all the occupations for the sex, especially for women of originality, of ideas and of executive ability, the profession of jour nalism possesses advantages superior to most of the others in which they have enlisted with success. ZZext Nebraska State Journal: It seems to be the' impression arounl Washington that the uepartnunt of justice wiil not wait for the supremo court's de- fetsiort on tiie appeal of the Northern Se curities company nut wot go on with its programme at once. While the depart ment orfioials are reticent, it is generally rumored thai the next ease tried will be the United States against the anthracite combination in Pennsylvania. The depart ment studied the coal "trust" during the clays of the strike, with diligence, and its case is in a stale of advanced preparation. Possibly the combination, like Davy Crockett's coon, having seen the puissance of Oeneral Knox's wenpon. will come down. It will be the better way. The de partment was greatly assisted in its in vestigation by the evidence brought out before the president's arbitration commis sion that investigated all the surroundings so carefully Attorney General Knox, however, is a very cautious man, with all his boldness when he has made up his mind to move, and will undertake no cases unless he feels pretty sure of winning. jayhawk.ee, jots.

From the Atchison Globe. A bagpipe furnishes about as much music as a bass drum. A long story of a hanging, if well written, is very interesting. "What do you know, except mean ness?" a brakeman asked a friend to day. There is another race problem: the one for which Sir Thomas Lipton builds yachts. There are some things that should be done in seclusion. Blowing your nose is one of them. When a baby cries in its father's arms, he at once takes steps toward appointing a receiver. Unless they are made at you, or you are the one who is making them, goo goo eyes are the top notch of silliness. There are still some people in Atchi son who refuse to let their children play cards or dance, but who sanction kissing games. It is related that an Atchison man was taken violently ill, but that his wife refused to run next door to the doctor because she had never been in troduced. The larger the town, the older the women are before they quit dancing. Tell us of a town in which the women quit at forty, and we can tell you how large thej town is. We suppose that saying about mis fortunes never coming singly origin ated with some man who noticed that he began to drop what he was eating on his vest, at the time that his eyesight grew poor.

The first trial of Blanche Boies, charged with maliciously hreaning win dows of buildings in which joints were located, was begun in the district court this morning before a jury. The charge was that Miss Boies smashed the front windows of the building at S33 Kansas avenue, in which building the joint known as "The Palms'" was in opera tion when the smashing occurred, Feb ruary It. The state was represented by County Attorney Nichols and Miss Boies by Judge T, F. Garver and D. H. Dranna man. The contest, as to the admission of evidence, was begun as soon as the first witness, Dr. G. W. Hogeboom, took the stand. He testified that his wife owned the building where the windows were smashed and that he was agent for the property. He said he leased tht. building to H. A. Uterman. who in formed him that he sub-leased it to AI Haysliii. County Attorney Nichols started in by asking Dr. Hos-eboom if he knew of "any glassware being broken in his building," Then Nichols withdrew the question and asked if "anything was broken in his building." Dr. Hogeboom testified to the smashing. On cross-examination Judge Carver said: "What business was carried on ir. the back room ot the building?" "I object," said Nichols. "The objection is sustained," an nounced Judge Hazen. "It doesn't make any difference what business was car ried on there." "I wish to present some authorities on that propof ition," said Judge Gar ver. i -fea-.t! "We thrashed that all over in the Stark case," said Judge Hazen. "But the supreme court has said nothing about it," replied Judge Gar ver. "Well, if you want to argue it go on," said Judge Hazen. "If the court won't hear me patient ly I don't care about arguing it," said Judge Garver. Judge Garver contended that Miss Boies, in smashing the windows, was not guilty of malicious trespass on the property owned by !r. Hogeboom but was guilty of smashing the windows without any malice thrrjwn in. Judge Garver referred to the Georgia mule show by the man in whose gar den he was grazing. Judge Garver said the man had no malice against the mule but wished to protect bis garden. "What if you walked down Kansas avenue and shot a mule?" asked Judge Hazen. "In that case the party might have malice against all mules," replied Judge Garver. "If I saw a burglar In a bank rob bing the safe and I threw a rock through the window to scare him. would I be guilty of malicious mischief in breaking thv window? I know I'm up against it in this case for I know your honor has his mind made up." County Attorney Nichols felt that he need not waste any energy in arguing the point. Judge Hazen decided that what business was conriucted in the building made no difference and that Miss Boies was charged w ith malicious ly and unlawfully destroying property. The submitting of testimony was re sumed. ORIENT TO TOPEKA. Will Use the Missouri Pacific Tracks. President A. F. Stilwcll of the Orient railroad stated while in Topeka today that the Orient road will make connec tions with Topeka over the Missouri Pacific tracks. He state that arrange ments have been made with the Mis souri Pacific for the use of the tracks to Topeka. "The greatest feature of the Orient road," said President Stilwell today, "is the mineral one. We will run through 600 miles of land on the route all min eralized with gold, silver, iron and coai. The line will be the shortest by FviW miles to the Orient. It will open an empire and give this country the best times it has ever seen." PREACHERS W HO SHIRK. Class of Ministers Who Are an Excep tion to the Rule. People who know nothing about the church exaggerate the number of shirks, and understate the number of those who strive to do the office and work of priests in the church of God. But shirks exist, and the habit of shirk ing can easily grow. It cannot grow in railroad circles, for the man who is not ready for his train must S"('k other em ployment. Soldiers and sailors cannot shirk; neither can traveling salesmen or newspaper reporters: In many oc cupations work must be done, and done in good time, or the negligent are called to an account. With the priest the case is different. A large part of his wdrk rests between himself and his judge. If a cripple would like to see him today and he defers his visit, simply through laziness, for a week, the vestry do not ask ques tions, and the bishop is not informed of the case. No" canon can solve the problem; it is too high, too low, and too ,V-' ,1 I "&?V N.-v J -i 1 A S r -THfc 5,'OGK. HAW Ke T -Brooklyn Kagle. The Trusts Still "In the Air" Awaiting Further Action by the Courts. t; L i a PERFECT n Jsod by peopla of refinement for over a quarter of a century PRrPABrn r v broad for canons; and the only human being who knows what a shirk he'is, is himself. How many or how few the shirks may be is a matter of conjecture; but the sad fact is that a clergyman can shirk without losing his standing. Rules, rubrics, ecclesiastical machinery are powerless. It is possible to keep up ap pearances, and yet to neglect duty; be cause hundreds of the calls that appeal to the conscience are not matters of public notoriety. The open sin or the gross heresy may be reached; but who knows how the days and evenings of a clergyman are passed? Oftentimes he is prevented .from calling by pressure of other duties. On the other hand, he can, if he is small enough, sit under the tree with a novel, because he is not ab solutely compelled to pay a certain visit today, although he is perfectly aware that the call should be paid today. Ex tremes meet, and the priest who likes hard work can get plenty of it, while the priest who wants to shirk without open disgrace can find his golden mean. The Living Church. SINCE ALL'S FA III IN WAR. Consolation for the Perpetrator of a Mean Trick in War Times. "My conscience has always hurt me just a bit about a little thing that hap pened at Helena, Ark., during the war," said a white haired veteran, while musing over some of the side lights of the '60s, "and I do not mind telling you in a confidential way that I have pray ed over It a good many times. Price was skirmishing around in the hills back of Helena at the time. The con federate lines were in bad shape. Some of the southern men had crossed the river below Helena and were quarter ed on the Mississippi side of the river, on a little bayou which teached out from the main stream. The informa tion reached me that the men were .in a bad way, and that they needed pro visions, clothing and a few other things. There was :t certain merchant in Helena who had been doing a deal of smuggling, and I had been keeping pretty well up with him. Here was my chance. I told him he could sell some goods down below town if he could get out of Helena with them, and I offered to help him to do it. He had a large yawl, which he had pressed into ser vice before, and it did not take me a great length of time to convince him that we could use this yawl to advan tage. He fell right into the plan. One night we loaded the boat down with an assorted cargo, clothing, food, and oth er things which the merchant had in stock. At that time you could hardly get away from the soldiers, but we managed to get out into the river with out making much noise. It was a very dark night. "When we had reached the current of the stream I suggested to the merchant I that we lie down below the city. We allowed the current to drive us several miles below the city, in fact, as far down as I wanted to go, for I knew exactly where the confederate soldiers were camped. We pulled into a small bayou and started to tie up. Suddenly a squfid of men swooped down on us and placed us under arrest. Then they begin to unload the boat. The mer chant did not seem to care so much about the $2,000 wovth of goods he had in the. yawl, arid which the soldiers had confiscated. He told me we were in great danger of being shot, but I con soled him by saying that I would fix up a scheme to escape. That night a squad was named to watch us until daylight. About 3 a. m. I nudged the merchant and told him the soldiers w-ere sound asleep and we could get away. At first he was afraid of being shot but I per suaded him that it was safe and we skedaddled. I nevr saw a man run so in my life and I was so tickled all the while that I could scarcely keep from letting the cat out of tho bag. "Dp to this day that fellow feels that he owes his life very largely to pie, when T had deliberately laid thescheme to rob him of a boat load of goods for the benefit of the confederacy, and I have often debated the moral aspect of the question in my own mind. But I suppose all things are fair in war. Be sides, the motive was to help the suf fering conf. 'derate soldiers and not to hurt and harm the merchant." New Orleans Times-Democrat. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago Dally News.) In order tn tell a woman's age correctly a man must first ascertain it. Ministers denounce gambling, yet they keep right on boosting the matrimonial game. If a man is able to collect his thoughts he can pull through without borrowing trouble. When the busy little bee gels a load he goes straight home which is more than any man can do. Although a man of considerable push, the engineer of a wheelbarrow is always behind with his work. A married man never realizes how insig nificant he is until his wife returns home from a week's visit to her folks.

HALF RATES ON WAR ON SMALLPOX. Situation on East Hill la Worrying Health Officers. There is to be a determined effort to stamp out smallpox on East Hill. If it can not be done in any other way, the board of health may quarantine the whole community from communication with Topeka, and make a canvass of every house in that locality to deter mine the health of the occupants. Some of the health officers believe that there has been a systematic effort to conceal the existence of smallpox in the East Hill neighborhood. Reports have come to the board of health from time to time that there were a number of persons having the disease. Four or five cases have been located ana quar antined, and usually the people quaran tined have said. "Why. Mr. wno lives right over there, had this, but they didn't call it smallpox, and all of Mrs. 's children had it. and they said it was stomach trouble." Yesterday a health officer was sent out into the Kast Hill to investigate a reported case. He called at tne nou.-e and asked to be allowed to see the children. The parents refused, nad said that onlv one child was sick, and that one "just had a little stomach trouble." Not being a physician, the officer did not insist upon being admit ted but it was this incident as much as anything else which has started the board of health on the war path, and mav result in severe methods to find out" the condition of things in East Hill. East Hill is located between Sixth and Tenth streets east of the Topeka cemetery. Among other buildings in the vicinity is Bedwell's insane asylum, and nobody knows how-many cases of smallpox have occurred in that institu tion What goes on at Bedwell s is al ways more or less of a mystery.

Hearst that certain coal carry ing roads are violatins the interstate commerce law. The defendant roads are the Phila delphia Reading, the Lehigh Valley, the Central of New Jersey, the New York. Susquehanna Western, the Erie, the Ontario Western, the Dela ware Hudson, the Pennsylvania and the B. O. The specific complaints or Mr. Hearst are that the loads cha rat unreasonable rates, that they unjustly discriminate in favor of the bituminous against the anthracite coal companies, and that they have contrived, in viola tion of the anti-pooling section of the interstate commerce law, to discrimi nate against the independent coal min ing companies in favor of the companies controlled by the railroads. The commission is' also to consider while here the old case of the complaint of the Texas Cattle Raisers' association and the Chicago Live Stock association against the Chicago local transfer track, which calls for the payment of J2 per car for cattle transferred from the ter mini of the western railways in Chicago to the Union stock yards. At the first hearing on that subject the commission ers ordered a reduction of the tax from $2 to $1 per car. That ruling was sub mitted to the Fnited States suureme court, which sent the whole case back to the interstate commerce commission for more evidence. None of the railroads were represent, ed when the commission convened. Ths Tallest People. In a comparative table of stature, arranged according to nationalities, the Fnited States Indian stands higher than any other race of the world, though the Patagonian runs him, very close. The white citizen comes "next. The United States negro ranks four teenth in the scale, and of all the coun tries of the world considered the Portu guese are found to be the shortest. It has always been proverbial among an atomists that blond nations are great er than their darker neighbors. This is due to the geological positions of the blond laces. They are characteristic of the north, and on account of the lower degree of temperature are induced to take more exercise, which throws them more in the open air. At the top of the list of countries, arranged in order of etatuve, the first seven, after the Unit ed States white men. are Norway, Scot land, British America, Sweden. Ireland. Denmark and Holland, all northern na tions. Detroit Tribune. s 4 tA I 9' -win is What the Smart Dressers Will Wear This Summer. Wash Materials Claim Most Attention.

Mrs. Forter Discusses Source of Patriotism. the The thirteenth annual meeting o the Kansas Women's Press club is in ses sion at the Coiifclancl today. The mem bers of the club began straggling in from different iarts of the state Mon day, more came this morning and about 60 guests are expected for the banquet with which the meeting closes tonight. There was a short business session this morning and a programme this after noon. At the banquet tonight Mrs. Minnie D. Morgan of Cottonwood Falls will act as toastmistress and Mrs. No ble Prentis of Topeka, Mrs. Cora Cl. Lewis ot Zvingsley and Miss Constance Crow ther of Topeka will respond to toasts. Mrs. Fred Dumont Smith of Kingsley was on the Dtogramnie for a toast but was not able to be here and the paper of Mrs. Charlotte F. Wilder of Manhattan on "My One Act of Fol ly" will be re-ad by Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter of Torieka. Isn't the Women's Press club com posed largely of iTomen who do very littie press work?" asked a scoffing cynic today. Needless to add it was a Mete Man who put the question. But amcing the women who joined the eiu'o this morning was one, Mrs. C. 1 Townsley of Great Bend, who has writ ten and worked on her husband's paper, the Great Hend Republican for 27 years. Mrs.M.L. Rune, who has been the treas ure of the organization since it was started, is one of the rioneer newspaper women ui Kansas. She and her hus band publish the Ciyde Herald and hers is the mechanical department. She sets the type, makes up the forms be sides hustling local, writing' ads and at tending to job work. Mrs. Minnie D. Morgan of Cottonwood Falls, who is the president of the club, worked on her husband's. W. A. Morgan, paper, tile Cottonwood Leader for over 30 yea'-s from the time it was started until they sold it a month ago. She declares that she feels quite lost, now that she is out of the harness, and not even the pros pect of the European trip upon which she is soon to start with her husband entirely consoles her although she will write for the press during her absence abroad. Mis. Olive I. Royce, of the PhilliDS burg Dispatch, is another prominent member of the organization who Is ir active newspaper work every week of her life. Like so many of the other press women, she ifi employed on her husband's (John Q. Royce) paper, the sole management of which she has un dertaken at different times when Mr. Royce was obliged to neslect the paper for other duties. The new members taken into the club at this meeting include, beside Mis. Townsley, who has been mentioned. Mrs. Elizabeth Prentis Mack, a daugh ter of the late Noble Prentis. who as sists her husband. J. C. Mack, in the Dubllcation of the Newton Kansan Republican: Mrs. S. R. Peters, also em. ployed on the K ansan-Republican Airs. M. H. IMshop, who owns and publishes the Abilene Democrat, and Mrs. L. V. Wait, who works for her; Mrs. R. P. Murdoek. of the- Wichita Eagle, a mem ber by marriage of the Murdoek family, famous in Kansas newsnaperdem; Miss N a non L. Herron and Mrs. Louise 1). Wolfe, of the To.ieka Modern Mercury, and Mrs. A. B. 'Gierke, of the Oskaloosa Times. Mrs. "L. A. Kiner. who edits the Plain ville Gazette, read a paper on "The Country Xevvs Gatherer" at this after noon's session. She compared the du ties, responsibilities and reeiuirements of the reporter who works on the country weekly with the one employed on the city daily. The country newspaper, Mrs. Kins said, is nearer to the life of the community in which it eirculatM than any other publication to its cli entele, and for that reason sympathy and a real interest in the people among whom she lives and of whose often trivial doings she writes are essential qualities of the country newsparier wo man. She must be progressive and keep just ahead of the community in which she labors. She must have tact, a pleasing personality, a knowledge o freely. As the season advances price will somewhat decline.

Mrs. King is tertainly qualified to speak of the country newspaper wo man's work, as she is the sole manager of the Plainville Gazette. Her husband is the postmaster of Plainville. and is entirely occupied with the work of that office. Mrs. King does everything: on her paper, from writing editorials to setting a two-line ad. She understands "a,ucai noiK perfectly, and a little thinj; like a printer who gela drunk the day before press day never worries her. as there is nothing that she cannot do herself when her assistants, tail her. Miss Nell Dodge of Topeka who con tributed some Chapters In Journalism s now employed in the state library but has had no little practical news paper experience. She was formerly local editor of the Beloit Call and socie ty editor of the Lawrence Daily World. Miss Dodge is a daughter of 'the late J. G Dodge of the Beloit Gaz-ite and tier uncle, S. H. Dodge, is rUso a news paper man now editor of the Gazette, so it is easy to account for her inclina tion for this work. Her paper was rt concise history of the newspaper move ment and especially of woman's con nection with journalism. Miss Helen Rail, who edits the In dian Leader, the official paper of Has kell institute. Lawrence, was unable to attend the meeting of the Pr-ss club today but sent her paper which was read this afternoon. The subject, "Newspaper Work Among- thelndians." was described by Miss Ball as one offering- meager possibilities but it has the merit of uncommon novelty and probably very few of those who hearu her brief history of th" Indian news papers knew- before of their existence. Miss Ball told of Sequoyah, the father of Cherokee l'terttuie, who has been called the Indian Cadmus. The Cherokees are one of the few Indian tribes which have a printed language and Sequoyah was the inventor of the alphabet. The first Indian newspaper was the Cherokee Phoenix started in 182S in Kchota, Georgia. All the employes of the pa per, which was owned by the Cherokee Nation, from editor to press boy, were Indians. The paper still exists though its name was changed in 1S68 to the Cherokee Advocate. It is now printed half in English and half in the Chero kee language. The present editor Is a half-blood Cherokee.--. The Sioux also have a few newspapers and nearly all the lrgo Indian training schools have college papers. On Miss Ball's own pa per, the Indian Deader, the Indian boys and girls in the school set type, correct proof, set up forms and write news items and other contributions. Some of them go from the Indian Deader to oth er papers and do creditable work. One of the most eloquent addresses of the afternoon session was that of Mrs. Emma K. Forter of the Marysville News, who spoke on "Our Patriotic Al legiance." Mrs. Forter is the depart ment president of the Kansas Woman's Relief Corps, is a prominent club wo man in her district, the Fifth, has been in newspaper work for a number of years and although it does not please her any too well to have it said of her, is regarded as one of the most astute politicians in the state. She is a sister of W7". A. Calderhead, congressman from the Fifth district, and much of his success has been attributed to her. In appearance she suggests not at all the typical "advanced" woman. She is un usually fine looking, has a quiet, pleas ing dignity of manner, a beautifully modulated voice and is invariably well and becomingly gowned. Mrs. Forter's theory of patriotism is that it is a nat ural instinct of the human soul, not the product of education and civilization but belonging to the inherent nature of man like the love of child for parent and parent for child and both for the hearthstone and home. Musical numbers were contributed to the afternoon programme by Mr. Bert Sutton, vocalist. Miss Anna Marie Nel lis, whistler. Mr. W. C Stenger, violinist, and Miss Kmilie King, vocalist. At the morning session Mrs. Ti. E. Rice of Lawrence read a paper on "Newspaper Work in the Sixties." Mrs. Rice's husband, was and still is the edi tor of the Westfield. N. Y., Republican which was started in 1833 and was the first Republican paper in the United States. Seward, Thurlow Weed and other prominent New York Republicans were back of it. Mrs. Rice assisted her husband in the work of editing and publishing and her paper this morning told of newspaper work and politics of that day. The minutes of the last meeting were read at the morning session and the aforementioned new members voted in to the club. An auditing committee composed of Mrs. D. A. Kins of Plain ville. Mrs. Elna Brown of Clifton and Mrs. R. E. Rice of Lawrence was ap pointed by the president and it was vo ted to accept the invitation of the sup erintendent of Haskell Institute at Lawrence to the press club to spend Wednesday at the institution. New officers will be elected at the close of this afternoon's meeting, proba bly about 5 o'clock. The present offi cers are Mrs. Minnie D. Morgan, presi dent, Mrs. J. K. Hudson, vice president. Mrs. Olive I. Royce. secretary and Mrs. M. L. Rune, treasurer. Mrs. Hudson is not attending the meeting- but sent a note of greeting and regrets from her home in Versailles, Mo., accompanying a huge cluster of exquisite wood violets to the president and the club. AT THE I'LAV LAST SIGHT. "The Pulse of -roater New York" was seen at the Craw-ford last night. It was one of those plays where a lot of trouble and time could be saved if. it were not for the stringent rules aeainst l.-i'.lintr the villain before the last act. About tlv best thins about the play was its brevity. it was all over and sawdust spread over the gore by 10 o'clock.

Judge Thayer, of United States C rcuit Court of Appeals, Woo Wrote Opinion in the famous Merger Case. COURT ALL WRONG. (Continued from First Page.) "The court erred in finding and de ciding that 'the object and necessary effect of the combination found by it to exist in this case is to give to a single person or to a coterie of persons fuil control of all the means of transporta tion owned by the two parallel and competing lines of railroad engaged in interstate commerce, as weil as the iv.wer to fix the rate for the transpor tation of persons and property.' "The court erred in holding and de. ciding that the said anti-trust act. if construed as forbidding or restricting the shareholders of the two defendant railroad companies from selling their shares to the Northern Securities com pany, or exchanging them for shares oi that company or forbidding or restrain ing that company from making such purchases or exchanges and holding the railway shares thus acquired as its own. is a valid law and not in conflict with the fifth amendment of the constitution of th? United States. "The court erred in holding that the said anti-trust act was intended and was and is effectual, to include and pro hibit virtual consolidation of parallel and competing railway companies chatv tered by the several states and combi nations lookins to such 'virtual consoli dation.' FIGHT ON LIBEL LAW. Argument .Made by Charles E. Smith Before Fennypacker. Harrisburg. Pa., April 21. Every im portant newspaper in Pennsylvania was represented at the hearing on the Grady-Salus libel bill by Governor Fennypacker today in the hall of the house of representatives. Attorney General Carson sat with the governor throughout the hearing, but neither in dicated what would be the governor's action on the measure. The governor and attorney general arrived in the hall promptly at 30 o clock and were greeted with applause. The governor said the bill was a very important one and he was anxious to hear both sides and he suggested that two representatives from each side be heard in order to save time. He also suggested that the opponents of the bill be heard first. The opening speech was made by Charles Emory Smith of the Phila delphia Press, who was presented by Thomas V. Cooper of the Media Amer ican. At the outset of Mr. Smith's ad dress Governor Fennypacker took ex ception to his use of the word "inso lently." and suzsested that it would be well for the sneakers to omit strong adjectives. Mr. Smith accepted the suggestion, saying at the same time that he spoke strongly because he fell strongly. He said: "At the outset I beg to thank your excellency on behalf of all my asso ciates for granting this hearing. You have given us what the legislature ruthlessly and insolently denied us. This bill was rushed through that bodv with unbecoming, if not indecent haste in contempt of the spirit of the consti tution and as I believe in disregard to its letter. It deeply affects our rights and our property. We asked for the hearing to which we were entitled in the commonest fa-ir play among men. W'e were contemptuously refused all opportunity to defend our rights and to protest against what we believe to be a monstrous wrong, and this shameful re fusal compels us to appeal to the fair ness, the rectitude and the justice of the governor of the commonwealth. We are here in great numbers from all parts of the state. We are of one accord and we are profundly in earnest. We believe that our most vital rights and interests are at stake. And we must in common manhood defend them now and hereafter. We stand for the just liberty of the press, but not for its abuse. We do not object to any whole some restraint upon irresponsible, ma licious and licentious journalism, nor do we desire that the bars against libellous publications shall be let down. We ac cept the law which holds, us responsi ble for actual injury when inflicted by our publications, even though inad vertent and unintended, for we know that this is one of the necessary risks of our business. In the main, the press reflects the public tone and temper. It is what the people make it and what the people want. "The great folly of this bill is that it is utterly ineffective and futile for the purpose for which it is really de signed, while it exposes reputable news papers to the constant and unavoid able danger of costly, vexatious and blackmailing suits. It must fail of its plain intent while It is infinitely mischievous in other directions. "What measure of protection is offer ed here w hich is not found in the pres ent statute? Is it in the more stringent provisions for liability on account of 'negligence in the ascertainment of facts and in making publication?" Eut in this particular kind of publication least of all does 'negligence' appear. Their very characteristic is that they are intended, deliberate, studied and carefully prepared. Is it that they are offensively libelous? But if so they are open to prosecution now. Is it because punitive damages can be awarded? But punitive damages can be awarded now. Is it because there is a new- provision for damages for physical and mental suffering? But though not distinctly specified and itemized as such, a jury can take that element into account in making up its sum total of damages now. An intelligent and reasonable consideration of these points demon strates that, the bill is abortive so far as relates to its special purpose. The very essence of libel is that the publi cation snail be of a defamatory or in jurious character. The law now rightly holds the newspaper responsible for publications of that nature. But this bill would incorporate a new principle in the code. It would make any publi cation actionable-in which there had been negligence even where there is noth ing of a defamatory or injurious char acter. It does not require that the matter should be libellous. And so, this bill practically makes every incor-' rect publication actionable, no matter what its character. What unlimited fields of litigation, what boundless sources of annoyance are opened, in this extraordinary provision. "The great newspaper has fifty or more men on the staff. It has 500 cor respondents. It has all the thousand agencies of the Associated Press. Its intelligence comes to it through all these multiplied sources. This vast machinery is indispensable to modern journalism. Enforce the most vigilance and how is it possible, in human nature, with all these agents to prevent mis takes. For mistakes which inflict actual injury, the newspaper is now liable and there is full redress, as there ought to be. But how shall this new danger of emotional or imaginary damages be met? How shall physical and mental suffering be measured? It is intangible-, imperceptible, incommensurable. It lies locked up in the heart or the im agination of the complainant. He chooses to swear to it, and how can it be combatted or estimated? And in what cases may it not be claimed? "In the presentation of the news of the day errors will inevitably creep in The errors need not under this bill be libelous. They need only result from what may lie called necliaence, and j every error may be regarded as showing negligence at some point. Thus every I error, every misprint, every mistake in any single element of a statement may be made the basis of a suit for damages. What shark will not leave the trail of the trolley- in his hunt for prey to pur sue the newspaper in this more prolific field. "The bill is special legislation in that it excludes weekly newspapers. It treads all around the weekly and care fully avoids stepping on it. This is 1T0 accident. The language is three times repeated in the course of the bill and every time in the same peculiar terms and with the same exception. "There are no monthly or hi-weekly newspapers. It is a contradiction of terms. There are only forty semi-weeklies in Pennsylvania. The weeklies in 1 Pennsylvania numher S.34 and the dailies number 209. To declare that a state ment is a libel when printed in 209 dal lies and not a libel when printed in 054 weeklies is simply grotesque. "This bill is utterly powerless to stop the particular kind of publication which it aims at, but it encompasses legiti mate publications with an unlimited net work of embarrassment and vexa tion. It would cripple and curtail the presentation of the regular and proper news of the day; it would start up a whole swarm of sneculative shysters and curbstone blackmailers; it infringes the just and constitutional liberty of the press and would impair that valu able protection for public morals and public rights, which is found in the searchlight of publicity: it is special legislation in undertaking t.T make law for the daily newspaper while exempt ing the weekly from its operations. It perpetrates a gross wroner in seekinir to fasten the principal responsibility upon j the agent, where the agent not only does not commit the offense but where he has not even the power to prevent it." A Daylight Holdup. Paola, Kan., April 21. Armed with a revolver, Charles Jackson, a negro of Mount Sterlin. Ky robbed George Fredericks of $10 near the rlepot in Osa watomie late Monday. He was soon captured. On the way to the jail he broke away from the officers. Several shots were fired by a constable, Fred erick Conklin, and Sheriff Jetty of Pa ola. After an exciting chase of three blocks, through one of the principal streets, the negro fell, struck by three bullets. Few Hear Mrs. Nation. Fort Scott, Kan., April 21. Mrs. Car rie Nation arrived in town from Paola Monday. She talked to a few school children, and last night delivered her lecture to a small audience at one of the smaller churches. Her coming caused very little interest. iULO CLEVELAiID. Brjan Bitterly Arraigns the Former President At a Democratic Banquet in Kansas City. IS HELD HLSrONSIKLE For AH the Ills That Have Fall en I'pou the Organization. Letters From Hearst and John son Oreeted With Applause. Kansas City, Mo.. April 21. William J. Bryan, speaking this morning to the toast "Democracy," at the banquet given by the Democratic Jackson Coun ty club and the newspaper men of Mis souri complimentary to William J. Stone, at which the addresses did not begin until long after midnight, bitterly arraigned C rover Cleveland and his supporters who are making the plea for harmony among Democrats. The as sembly was made up of representative Missouri Democrats and the remarks of Mr. Bryan met with enthusiastic favor with his hearers. He said in part: "What we need in this nation is moral courage among men. We need moral courage more than a bility, and we want the kind of moral courage that will fight for honest Democratic principles. In your junior senator, William Joei Stone, you have in Missouri a man who pos sesses both moral courage and ability. I believe in harmony. The Democratic bed is wide enough, for all who want to come in, but we do not want to have to sit up nights to keep certain pretenders from picking our pockets. We invite all who have strayed from the fold to come back if they 'so desire, but we want them to stay in after they come. We have had enough of Clevelandisrrr in the Democratic party. We had four years of Cleveland and after his ad ministration was over, we found our selves weaker than we had ever been before, because we had been betrayed. These so-called harmonizers, Cleveland and his followers, showed their nearness to Republicanism by deserting us in our hour of greatest need and supporting the Republican party. The Democratic party won a great victory in 1S92. which gave our party a great opportunity but Grover Cleveland betrayed the Demo cratic party and I carried the burden of his administration through two national campaigns and there was not a plank in either platform that was such a detriment to me in those campaigns as that burden was. Cleveland had tho best opportunity to redeem the Demo cratic party ever offered to any man since the time of Andrew Jackson, but instead of being true to his party he disgraced himself. As a party we inust stand true to Democratic principles and if we do, I believe that Democratic vic tory will Rome day tome nd it will be here to remain when it comes. "Never swerve in your loyalty to Democratic principles. I would not give one Democrat who really believes in Democratic principles for a whole barn yard full of trimmers and compromisers who pretend to be Democrats." Letters of regret from Richard Olney, Senator Gorman, Senator earmark, W, R. Hearst, Tom L. Johnson, Edward M. Shepherd. D. B. Hill, Senator Daniel, Senator Clark of Arkansas, and Senator Bailey were read. The letters of John son and Hearst raised a tumult of ap plause. Senator William J. Stone, who did not arise to speak till 3:30, said in the course of his remarks: "We at.1 apart: let us get together. The platform is the creed of the parly and the man who does not subscribe to it does not believe in the Democratic party." Speaking of next year's convention, he said: "There will be no abandonemnt or re organization and no man unworthy to hold up the old Jefferson flag will be nominated. And if he is.
