VALUABLE INVENTION BY SWEDISH ENGINEER An Engine That Uses Either Refined or Crude Petroleum—Saves Men and Space. 1 New York, Oct. 26—Engineering experts who have been privileged to inspect a liitle launch that for sever* al weeks past has been flitting about the Erie Basin and by its speed and evolutions has been attracting the greatest attention from marine men and others are of the opinion that America is about to contract another debt of gratitude to Swedish ingen uity. The revolution wrought m naval architecture by the Monitor of John Ericsson promises to find a counterpart in the realms of peaceful industry- in the oil engine invented by H. A. Bertheau, an eminent Swedish engineer and inventor late ly arrived here from Stockholm. Experts who have examined the en gine and whose high standing give* weight to their opinions, unite in de claring that the engine is the personi fication of simplicity and the severest tests only tend to verify the claims of the inventor. From all appearances the engine, which is as readily adapt able to a railroad locomotive or a hoisting crane as it is to a launch or a cargo boat, possesses innumerable advantages over steam as a motive power. One of the most important of these advantages and the first to suggest itself to the observer is the apparent ease with which the engine is controlled and manipulated. In dependent of size the engine is start ed without any exertion and all ma neuvers are controlled by a single lever. As a motive power for passenger boats, tugs, lighters and cargo boata the engine possesses the incalculable advantage of cheapness. Crude oil, which is perhaps the most abundant as well as the cheapest fuel product known to mankind, may be employed as readily and with as good results as refined petroleum. Then, again, the engine requires but one man to run it, thus saving the expense of stokers, heavers and others necessary in the operation of a marine engine. Another important item not to be overlooked is the great saving In space, as the oil engine requires no room for immense boilers and coal bunkers. For river boats and other vessels where light draught is neces sary this advantage is one of th« greatest value. As a means of pro pulsion for small launches, automo biles and for other purposes where the gasoline motor is now commonly employed the Bertheau engine pos sesses the double advantage of cheap ness and safety. A thirty-foot launch equipped with a sixteen horse-power engine has been tied up in the Erie Basin, close under the stern of Sir Thomas Llpfon's two challengers. Shamrock I and Sham rock 111, for several weeks, during which time it has been inspected by the engineering experts of large railroads acd steamship com panies, hi] rif whom have expressed" their Unqualified approval. Not the least interested of those who inspect ed the engine were the heads of the great company which enjoys a mo nopoly of the petroleum business Ifl America and also representatives of several of the great railroads of the west and southwest that for years have been endeavoring to employ oil as a motive power for their engines.

GLUED TO THEIR CHAIRS. President and Faculty of Butler Co|. lege Victims of Joke. Indianapolis. Ind.. Oct. 26—Presi dent Scott Butler and the members of the faculty of Butler college who attended the chapel services thig morning had an unusual experience. Some time early this morning a sticky compound, which afterwards proved to be liquid glue had been spread over the cane bottoms of the cane bottom chair which members of the faculty use. The preparation was not visable and it was only by direct contact that its true nature became evident. The faculty members literally "stuck to their places. Some of the members saw the humorous side of the situation, while others maintain ed an extremely frigid composure. The anthem number was announc ed and Miss Billings, the pianist, struck the opening bars. The piano THE EVENING STATESMAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1903. resounded like a wheezy gramophone. After an ineffectual attempt she gave it up and the song drifted aimlessly on. It was found that the keys had been stuck together in bunches. The service was extremely short. The faculty tore itself away and'quick ly disappeared. It i s said that the culprits are known and will be pun ished. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

WHITMAN OUT OF IT University of Washington Won Easy Victory CAPTAIN BROWN WAS INJURED Final Score Was 35 to o—State Boys Were Heavier and Showed to Better Advantage. University of Washington 35. Whitman 0. The University of Washington foot ball team simply walked all over Whitman in the game Saturday after noon played on the (J. of W. grounds, the stale boys scored two touch downs in the first half, and four more in the second, converting five of the six into goals. The Seattle Post-In telligencer had the following account c* the game: Whitman never even came close to scoring. The ball got within ten yards of Washington's goal line once, but it was kicked there, and with Washington's defense practically im penetratable the visitors could not have scored by any possibility. What McDonald Did. McDonald scored one touchdown, blocked a kick that resulted in anoth er, and, picking up the ball on a fum bled kick, ran 35 yards down the field to within a yard and a half of the Whitman goal, the next two plays sending the ball over for a third score. In addition to this he was the biggest part of the interference when Tibbals ran a kickoff back 50 yards, putting no less than six men out of the play. He broke through on every kick and stopped pretty nearly every play that was sent at him. By the end of next season it will be a shame to put Mc- Donald against another team. Captain Speidell played the second half in a crippled condition, although no one knew that he was seriously hurt except himself. He had his side injured and then was kicked on the head, so that for a good portion of the half McElmon had to tell him what signals to give. Yet. although he was half senseless, he passed the ball per fectly and headed his interference in the style which is entirely his own. Alter the game was over Speidell col lapsed utterly and lay stretched out on a bench in the dressing room, cry ing and groaning and half out of his head. He recovered within half an hour, however, and will be back in the game within a couple of days. Ban'/, is nursing a sprained ankle that he received at the beginning of the second half. McElmon took his place at lull and Bagshaw went to left half. Whitman Captain Hurt. Brown, the Whitman captain, was injured and taken from the game early in the second half, and Kennedy later replaced Brainard at quarter. Brain ard was struck on the head and taken off the field unconscious. Washington showed a marked su periority in condition. The men came on the field for the second half per fectly fresh, while the visitors slowed up even in the first half. They called for time for injured men repeatedly throughout the game. The detailed story of the game would be nothing but monotony, for Washington made her gains about as she pleased, and Whitman failed to make herg about as Washington pleas ed. Washington's biggest fault was her wretched fumbling in the first half. She lost at least three more touch downs by it. It was simply execrahle. Time and time again she would get within striking distance of the ene my's goal, only to lose the ball inex cusably. Coach Knight made a few pointed remarks to the men between halves, which are understood to have referred to the possibility of some of them losing their places on the team, and fumbling was scarce in the sec ond half. First Touchdown Made. Washington scored her first ..ouch down in six minutes. McElmon doing the trick after a series of tackle and end plays. The balj changed hands half a dozen times on miserable fumb ling and off-side plays and then Wash ington steadied down and sent Lantz over for number two, 14 minutes after the first. In the second half Washington kicked off to Whitman's five-yard line and the collegians failed to run it back more than 10 yard-;. They were forced to kick, after being thrown back a couple of times for losses, almost from under their goal posts. McDonald simply tore his way through the op posing line and blocked the kick and the ball bounded back of the line. Half a dozen men piled on it and when the knot was untangled Crim was found at the bottom of the pile, wuh the ban in his arms. Time, two min utes. The kickoff went outside and it had to be done over. Tibbalfs got the ball and, with McDonald as his mainstay in the interference ran full 50 yards down the field. The big fellow shoul dered off man after man in the clean est possible style, but finally one line collegian got through and downed the midget end. Keeps on Scoring. Washington carried the ball the rest of the way to Whitman's seven-yard line. Then she tried her only trick play of the game. Knight believes in one trick play a game, he says. Any way, Tom McDonald was called back and sent straight into the line. But, as it happened, he didn't have the ball when be sailed into the Whitman 'guard. The pigskin was sailing with Bagshaw around the right end and the ex-Seattle high school star land ed it square between the goal posts just five minutes after the first one. It was simply a question of a kick off and a series of plays by Washing ton and another goal. It took seven minutes more for Tom McDonald to make the next one. Speidell missing the goal. Then the same thing over again. Kickoff and Washington take the ball down the field. The home team kick er! for 25 yards and Whitman fumbled the ball. McDonald scooped it on the run and tore down the field, covering seven of the white lines before he was downed. Two plays and McElmon made another touchdown, witii si-». one-half minutes to play. During the rest of the game Whit man made the best showing of any time during the whole match. Once she got away for 25 yards on a trick and twice she made 10 yards. But she was forced to kick and the half ended with the ball in Washington's posses sion on her 20-yard line. BIG CATTLE ROUND-UP. It Will Soon Begin on the "Breaks" of the Umatilla. Leader: Weston cattlemen are pre paring for their general round-up on the Umatilla river, which begin No vember Ist. All persons having stray cattle in the mountains should be on hand and look after their stock. Between seven and eight hundred head of prospective porterhouse and tenderloin will be collected at this round up. Among those who will don chaperejos and mount their most trustworthy bronchos for the annual neck-risking chase around the rock lined "breaks'' and through the tim ber are W. A. Barnes, C. C. Barth. Dick English, Jim Lieuallen, Will Jamieson. Frank Greer, Ralph Tucker, Bert Graves and Saling boys and the Narkous brothers. The early fall rain made good grass, and stock is in excellent condition. Many of the beeves are rolling in fat and in fine shape for the block. There is not much disposition among cattle men to turn off beeves this fall, how ever, on account of unsatisfactory prices. Most of them are already pro vided with winter pasture in the stub blefields. HE SOUGHT TO POISON HER. Margaret Familton's First Husband Plots With Her Second to Kill Her. New York, Oct. 2o. —Information has been furnished to the district at torney and the grand jury of Queens county that Fred Kirkman, husband No. 1 of Margaret Familton, had pro posed to Edward Roach, husband No. 2. that they send poisoned candy to their bigamous bride and get her out of the way. "by making another Moli neux case out of it." William Henry Familton, father of the girl, who married these two men within 24 hours, left a hospital to ap pear in court in Long Island city to reveal this and other startling circum stances concerning the double mar riage. He told the district attorney that Kirkman went to Willetts Point last Friday t 0 see Roac.h and said to the latter: "See. here, we are both in trouble over this marriage with Mag gie Familton. I married her last Sun day afternoon and you married her the next day. I see but one way out of it. Let us give her poison and get her out of the way." According to the information now in the hands of the district attorney Fred Kirkman argued with Roach that once he was connected with the medi cal department of the army post at Willetts Point and had the keys to the shop where all drugs were kept. He could easily fill the candy with a deadly dose and he "would see that she got it." The story was corroborated by Ed ward Roach himself, who admitted that he had been approached by Kirk man with such a proposition, but said he had rebuked husband Xo. 1 and was indignant at such a proposal. It is not known yet whether the grand jury has found an indictment. A singular friendship has arisen be tween young Roach and Kirkman, the two husbands. W T hile they were rival suitors for the the pretty young Whitestone maiden they were at daggers points, but they have be come quite chummy since the girl made them both her husbands. Margaret Familton was arrested for bigamy and locked up in the Queens countly jail, in Long Island city. As the crime of bigamy is said to have been committed In Manhattan, her case will be laid before the grand jury of New York county.

After his death the house keeper filed a deed for the home which had been given her two years ago by Gutzweiler, with the request that it should not be filed until his death. Citizens have been loath to believe the reports regarding the estate, but have at last been obliged to come to a realization of the true condition of affairs. Those in charge of the estate will use every effort to save all pos sible from the wreck, but the most that can be realized will be from 10 to 15 cents on the dollar. COST OF VOTE WILL BE $300. Only One Vote In a New York Pre cinct, but Expense Is the Same. New York, Oct. 26.—There is one election district in the city of New York, which Tammany and the fusion forces are making a hot fight to win. There is only one voter in the dis trict. To get his vote the city al ready has spent $200. and will have to spend nearly $100 more, for it will cost exactly as much to conduct the registration and election in that dis trict as in the most populous district. It is the nineteenth election dis trict of the twentieth assembly dis trict. Joseph Thomas i's the solitary voter. Last year there were nearly 400 voters. Since then an entire block of sixty houses has been torn down for St. Gabriel's public park, and ev ery one had to move away except Thomas, who is foreman of the lum ber yard. NEW THING IN SYNDICATES. This One Would Present Wyoming With a New Capitol. Cheyenne. Wyo., Oct. 26. —A syndi cate of New York and London capi talists has just launched a daring and stupendous scheme. Under the law the people must, at the election of 1904. vote for the per manent location of the state capital and other state institutions. The syn dicate proposes to give the site, erect and equip the capitol building, state penitentiary, insane asylum and uni versity, without cost to the state, pro vided the electors will choose a town on the Sweetwater river in central Wyoming. The capitalists have secured large tracts of land, together with coal de posits, oil fields, forests and farming lands, and expect to reap a rich prof it. A railroad will be built from Cas per to the proposed capital city, and branches will be built north from the Union Pacific and south from the Burlington. 8 Willis George Emerson, autnor or "Buell Hamton." and a conspicuous figure in the western mining world, is at the head of the syndicate that is backing the scheme. THE EVENING STATESMAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1903. STANDS UP FOR SCHOOLS. Ex-Superintendent Barrett Replies to the Criticisms of Cardinal Gibbons. Dcs Moines, lowa, Oct. 2C. —Richard C. Barrett, ex-state superintendent of public instruction, in a public address before the members of the Northwest ern lowa Teachers' association, made a bitter attack upon Cardinal Gib bons and Catholicism, in replying to the cardinal's recent declaration that the public school system is vicious. ''We have no desire to enter a con troversy." said Mr. Barrett, "but American institutions so sacred as our common school system must be de fended by patriotic Americans. We invite honest criticism, but cannot permit a sweeping accusation like thi s to go unchallenged. "Thousands of those of the cardi nal's own faith will not agree with him. We can look to England for a few statistics, where the system is much the same as our own and we find that the school population has increased from 1,500,000 to nearly 6,000,000 and during that same period juvenile criminals have decreased from 14.000 to less than 5000. That does not look as if the system was vicious. "And to contrast the present sys tem, with the system of our sister church, we find that in one state in this union where the figures have been secured that there are more Catholics in the penitentiaries who receive in struction from Catholic sources than there are Methodists. Congregational ists, Presbyterians. United Brethern and Episcopalians all put together. The government of the United States is a Christian government, and the schools of our land are Christian and not vicious." He—But if a man won't take "no" for an answer? She —Then there is only one thing the girl can do —say yes—to someone else. NEW GOODS AT REDUCED PRICES Are going like hot cakes.

WILL HAVE NEW CITY WELL t Will Be a Valuable Aid to Weston's Gravity System of Waterworks. Weston Leader: Through the ef orts of the city council in general and he water committee, consisting of ouncilmen Graham, Taylor and laker in particular, the problem of .rovidrag plenty of water for Weston n the dry season has been solved, it is believed, for all time. There has always heretofore been sufficient water supplied by the n-avity system except for a month or so in the driest part of the summer; but how to get the previous fluid when it was most needed has afforu ed a vexed question for several years. It was finally decided by the present council to sink a large auxiliary well on a cross-street in the upper end of town and pump from it into the mains in case of scarcity or fire. This well was so favorably located that It has cut an extraordinaryly large vein, and the town's" water troubles are over. The work of bricking up the well was completed this week by two Wal ia Walla masons, W. H. Sick and N. Reshaw, who did the job quickly and with the skill of thorough mechanics. It is 14 feet deep, 6 feet 3 inches wide, 12 feet 1 inch long, and the walls range from 21 inches to 13 inches in thickness, being arched over at the top. So great was the flow that the new force pump put in by the city was wholly unable to master it, after pumping night and day. and a centri fugal PumP had to be secured from Walla Walla before the masons could begin work. The vein was cut which supplies the city fountain, and when pumping is in progress the dolphins spout but the tiniest of streams, yet as the well need only be used on few occasions in the summer time, the temporary stoppage of W T eston's fa mous fountain may be endured with patience. It is estimated that if the reservoir were totally dry. it could be filled from the well, during the severest of summer drouth, in 48 hours. If so, the city of Weston may congratulate itself heartily on this improvement, which cost approximately about $600, including the force pump. CITY OF WHITE BLUFFS. The Democrat received exclusive information this week to the effect that W. R. Todd, of Tacoma, and as sociates contemplate making a num ber of extensive improvements o.i their large holdings in this county situated along the west bank of the Columbia river. The w >rk, it is ex pected, will- start at onct or as soon as definite arrangements can be made by the projectors of the enterprise who live in Tacoma and Spoka-ne. The plan of the promoters is to construct an irrigating canal from Priest rapids to White Bluffs, a dis tance of about twenty miles. The pro posed ditch it is said, will cover aborc 5000 acres of as choice lands as can be found anywhere in central Wash ington. Owing to the fact that the land is higher than the river, a gravi ty system is, of course, out of the question, and the water will have to be pumped from the river, a distance of perhaps thirty feet. The new company, however, have a plan where by the great water power of the Co lumbia wii] i ,e utilized and the neces sary power thus be secured to ele vate the water to tbe canal. Mr. Todd, of Tacoma. who indi'viu ually owns 6000 acres of land in the vicinity of White Bluffs, has resumed operations in the sinking of the ar tesian wen started a year ago by H. B. Waring, a Seattle man, whose inte rest in that section Mr. Todd has pur chased. The latter feels confident that he will succeed in securing a flow f water and means to keep going af rer it until he secures it. The well when abandoned by Mr. Waring was down to a depth of about 400 feet. .Mr. Todd and his associates have concluded to lay out a town at White Bluffs. The Marble Bros., civil engi neers of this city, have been employ ed to lay out the new town as well as to run the lines for the proposed ca nal. The townsite will be laid out in blocks and lots and later placed upon the market. Oscar James, formerly of this city, but now of Cle Elum, will have entire charge of the town site. Mr. James is quite enthusiastic over the scheme and says that White Bluffs, which will be the name of the new town, will become a city of importance in due time. He asserts that it will have 200,000 acres of fine agricultural land tributary to it when ultimately brought under irrigation. The promoters have agreed to place a boat on the river early next spring to ply between White Bluffs and Ken newick which will furnish the new town transportation until a better system is devised.—Yakima Democrat. "Two months ago he was worth a million." "In rain checks or street car transfers?" "No, in stocks." "Same thing.' VILL ISSUE A STATEMENT resident Roosevelt Wil| Review Re sults of the Postal Depart ment Investigation. Washington. Oct. 26.—President loosevelt will soon issue a public tatement on the postal frauds, and j ading members of the administration elieve that this statement will, inci '.entally, forestall an investigation of he postoffice cases by congress. The resident has already read the ex laustive report of the postal investi ations written by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, and he s familiar with every detail of the nquiry. The preparation by Mr. Roosevelt if a general statement is only a ques tion of the time necessary for such an undertaking when he is almost con tinuously engaged with other public business, demanding attention before the meeting of congress. While no information in regard to the contents of the Bristow report has been given it is known that the report contains little about the postal frauds that has not already been made public except such evidence as is necessarily with held by the government pending the prosecution of fraud cases in the trial courts. No Friction Between Them. It is stated on high authority that the investigation by Holmes Conrad and Charles J. Bonaparte broueht nothing which could cause any differ ence of opinion between the president and Postmaster General Payne. An effort has been made to have it appear that, certain recommendations made by Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte are displeasing to Mr. Payne, and that if these recommendations should be re ceived favorably by tbe president, Mr. Payne would be placed in an awkward position. One of these statements was that the dismissal of Postmaster Merritt of the Washington city post office was' recommended. Tbe fact is, there is no mention of Postmaster Merritt in the report. Another story was that Secretary Shaw and the president are at outs over the findings of Conrad and Bona parte against Controller of the Treas ury Tracewell, who the investigators charged, had improperly approved certain postal accounts. By high au thority, this story was nailed as a lie. The president accepts Mr. Shaw's view that Mr. Tracewell is an efficient and conscientious officer, and the controller will not be disturbed. It is not denied, however, that the Conrad- Bonaparte report severely censured Controller Tracewell. President Roosevelt hopes to have the last word in the postal scandal, and he expects to say it before the assembling of congress at the regular session. TAKES SAND TREATMENT. A Scheme to Make Old Federal Build ing Look Like New. Minneapolis,, Oct. 26—The sand cure is going to be administered to the remodeled federal building and the old walls will look as bright as do the new ones which have been built this summer. This will be the first time that a sand stream has been leveled against any building of Minneapolis for the purpose of cleaning its walls, but the process has been used in several cit ies of tahe east and has been uni formly successful. Several experiments have been made by H. X. Leighton. senior mem ber of the firm which has the contract for remodeling the building, looking to such a renewing of the youth of the old time-stained walls of the building as would make them har monize with the light gray of the new store which tops them. Without such a change the building would be the sorriest sort of a patchwork. Oxalic acid was tried, but the stone was so porous that the acid ate into the stone without producing much of an effect on the color. A ce ment wash was tried on the south side of the tower, but this did not prove satisfactory. Eben E. Leighton, who recently made a tour of the east, has seen the sand blast in operation and is satis fied with the results obtained and H. X. Leighton will go down to Chicago some time this week to close the con tract for this part of the work. Board Wont Order Vaccination. Spokane. Oct. 26—City Health Of ficer Newman has received informa tion from State Health Officer Hegg that the state 'board of health will take no action along the line of com pelling vaccination of pupils of the public schools. Any such order must come from the city board of education Dr. Newman brought the matter to the attention of the state officer and asked that an order be issued. Since the superior court here has decided that the school board can make no order it must come through the state board of health. The decision of Dr. Hegg therefore appears to be final.

Because Judge Clancy decided that the Minnie Healy mine belongs to Heinze, the Amalgamated Copper Trust has shut down all its mines and tmelters in Montana and Wyoming in an attempt to intimidate the supreme court of the former State, to which an appeal will be taken. Whatever may be the merits of Judge Clancy's decis ion, no good citizen can approve the attempt to coerce the supreme coun of the state into reversing the decis ion by throwing 20,000 men out of employment and wrecking the pros perity of the entire commonwealth. To encourage such intimidation as this would be to serve notice for all time to come that ad judge should dare to make a ruling against a pow erful corporation through fear that it would close its plants and throw an army of men out of employment. U this sort of thing is to go on why should not the great railroads inter ested in the decision of the merger ease attempt to intimidate the su preme cent of the United States by Suspending operations on their roads ami i:i all their shops? What show would an humble citizen have against a great corporation if .this method of bulldozing the courts were to be gen erally practiced? Judge Clancy's decision in favor of Heinze is probably a just one. for if the court could have been bribed into deciding in favor of the trust there is no doubt that it would have been done. Not long ago agents of the trusts swore in a case concerning the ownersh.ii> of the Minnie Healy mine that a bribe of $250,000 had been of fered one judge to remain honest, which they interpreted to mean that he should refuse a bribe from the other side. The copper trust will lost nothing by closing down its plants in Montana and Wyoming. The price of copper has not been satisfactory for some time and by restricting the output the trust wiil be aide to raise the price and to make immense profits on the large stock now on band. The Union miners of the state, back ed by Senator Clark and other rich men. have offered to buy a majority of the stock of the company directly interested in the Minnie Healy suit in order to end the controversy and al low the reopening of the Amalgamated plants, but owing to the secret oppo sition of the trust to the transfer of this stock, it is doubtful whether this plan of settlement will succeed. The outside public as well as the people of Montana will watch with anxious interest the outcome of this outraeeous attempt on the part of a powerful trust to coerce the courts oi the state. One lesson that it will teach the whole nation will be the urgent necessity of regulation and control of the trusts by the federa' government with a view to the restor at ion of complete freedom of compe tit ion in all industries. HISTORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF. The Yakima Democrat contributes an editorial on the republican situation I JUSTARIVBO— BrnSci O/ass anJ Qorham Silverware. 45 MARTIN JEWELRY COMPANI, ri !fe J n ARTIN E s Te.ted Free. ?I 4P Optician) G l asses Correctly Fitted W which is interesting. The Democrat says: "Whatever may be his faults, there sits in the executive chair at Olympia a man who is battling almost single handed and alone for the rights of the people as against the corrupt and cor rupting oligarchy which rules this state. Governor Mcßride, although bigoted and a rank partisan, is a giant as compared with any of those pig mies who grovel at the feet of cor poration hirelings. Yet, go among re publican politicians anywhere in the state and one can scarcely hear a good word for this man who has made and is making such a courageous fight for the people's rights. Politicians sneer at the mention of his name and party papers openly deride and insult him and speculate on whom the gang will bring forward as his successor. "A legislature, four-fifths republi can, was chosen a year ago pledged to give the people relief. Under the whip and spur of the railroad lobby this sacred pledge was utterly repudiated and. with a millionaire senatorial can didate in the field to bleed, the meet ing of the legislative body degenerat ed into a roaring farce and a carnival of corruption. $t was a sickening sight, and the God-fearing people of the state prayed for the end. "How long the suffering people will permit these evil conditions to con tinue no man can tell. That the re publican party of this state will purify itself from within there is not at pres ent the slightest reason for believing. History must first repeat itself and send along another cataclysm in the way of a political deluge which will sweep away all the barnacles that now infest the old ship and give it w. chance to right itself. This is the his tory of popular government, for it is only once in a while that the people awake to destroy their tormentors, but when they do, they are apt to make a pretty thorough job of it." MENTIONED FOR GOVERNOR. Dave Larimer, "The Politician" of the Spokesman-Review says: Two Whitman county democrats are "mentioned" for governor. They are Superior Judge S. A. Chadwick and ex-Senator R. C. MeCroskey. Mr. McCroskey is at the head of one fac tion of Whitman county democrats, and Judge Chadwick in the past has been affiliated with the opposite fac tion. Senator McCroskey's views on the railroad question are as pronounc ed as those of Governor Mcßride or of Senator Turner, while Judge Chad wick's are not so well known. There is just one element of cer tainty in the democratic situation. If Senator Turner will accept the nomi nation for governor, lie can have it. If he won't, it will bo a free for all. That Dr. P. S. Byrne of Spokane could get the nomination, however, is simply unthinkable to anyone who knows anything about the party situa tion in the state. Men who might get the nomination include Senator Tol man of Spokane, State Labor Commis sioner William Blackman, Sheriff Cud ihee of Seattle. Senator 1 McCroskej, Judge Chadwick, William Dunphy of Walla Walla or Judge Thomas Carroll of Tacoma. PLATT AS "FOXY GRANDPA." Senator Piatt, who has long been before the nation as a public man, i's now, by reason of his raatrimonal venture and its ensuing complications, being lightly referred to by some of the eastern publications as "Foxy Grandpa." Presumably—slang ex pressions are hard to define—"foxy" conveys a humorous significance, mingled with a touch of elderly gen iality and a dash of the old Adam. Therefore, a foxy grandpa does not mean a grandpa that is a heavy weight either as a "-pillar of the com munity" or as an enemy to society. Thi? analysis warrants the conclu sion that Senator Piatt is not a foxy grandpa, but merely an ordinary old man, whose private views correspond to that which he represents in poli tics —a spoils-only machine. The harmlessness attaching to a paternal ancestor of the second degree removed who may be characterized by "foxy" is by no means allowable as an ex planation of Senator Piatt. A reform campaign is being waged in New York in which the reformers are larhering Tammany with epithets. The sins charged to the dreaded Tiger just about cover the whole cate gory of criminal offenses. But Tam many at its worst never further de graded the politics of the greatest state in the Union than has the boss ism of Senator Piatt. Croker was Croker, admitedly not above reproach and Piatt is Piatt, no whit better than Croker. and in the state at large is what Croker was in New York City. Such is his official character. Senator Piatt has lived three score THE EVENING STATESMAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1903. and ten. Hardly would it be supposed that now, at so ripe an age, hia heart would turn to thoughts of love. Yet the thing seems to be, if not an epidemic, at least not without prece dent in New York social life—witness his collegue, Senator Depew. At any rate, the organ which pulses in the Senator's cardiac region warmed once more to the tender passion. The lady smiled upon his advances. The happy day was set. But, descending some what like the wolf on the fold, cer tainly in all the fury of a woman scorned, there came Miss Mac Wooa, an "attractive woman" —thus say the news reports—of five and thirty, Miss Wood condescended to "meet the re porters and made some very biting re marks, all of which intimated that she had a claim upon the distinguished senator from New York, that he had heartlessly -jilted her, that she had some rights in this land of liberty, and that she proposed to assert them. It seemed that she intended to enjoin the happy pair or to mandamus the wedding bells. And what was the upshot? The ceremony was performed in private ahead of time, and Miss Wood called off her dogs of war. News dispatches have it that the woman, who.by grace of the senator's pull, has enjoyed a "soft snap" in the government ser vice, received added solace in the shape of a check for which she signed a formal "release." The senator, it seems, is no longer jaunty and "looks many years older." TRUE PARTY LOYALTY. Sincerity, frankness and courage are qualities that prevail in public af fairs at critical stages. When com mon issues have been magnified by conditions into serious issues concern ing principles, the ordinary diplomacy which has been accustomed to play upon the sentiments of the people loses its value, and its force ironically reacts against the practitioners. There are times when the careful and clever distortion of facts or is sues and when the appeal to senti ment may construct channels for pub lic opinion. The management of mere politicians is potent against the same type of management on the other side, and it is influential under average cirsumstances. But it is generally ineffective in grave crises, and certainly when an assuring dem onstration of genuine sincerity is es sential. In a municipality there are among the members of the different parties men whose \iclinations are naturally unpartisau when the line of principle is drawn. They are the men who think, who are guided in the exercise of the rights of suffrage by the in spirations of conscience. They com-, pose the unnamed independar.t, un partisau p irty thar is known as the silent vote. And it is they who ef fect peaceful revolutions in politics and pul.dic affairs. The silent vote party \a a large, pow erful, unorganized and often leader less party. Ps unwritten platform is a combination of patriotic ideals with the usual issues and the unusual ac centuation of principles. It scorns the shrewdness of scheming politic ians. It detests mere verbosity. It has an aversion to trickery. It leans to principles and ideals, and therefore it demands sincerity in its favorites for office. It would prefer sincerity without genius to genius without sin cerity; it may be eccentric, but it is fervent and positive; it may lack style and organization, but it is strong and active; it may misjudge issues, but it comprehends principles; it may not be partisan, but it is loyal and patriotic. The manifestation of an unpartisan spirit is invariably an indica tion that a necessity does or will ex ist for the emphasizing of principles, as contrasted with rhetoric. Then it becomes an obligation on the side of the parties to meet the unpartisan tendency. Otherwise the unpartisan spirit will enfeeble the parties through an invisible movement which will pervade all classes. Sincerity i s a real, iTresistable qual ity: it is an essentiality in a crisis concerning principle, and the people set a right estimate on it. The silent vote may not be right, in fact, but it is directed by conscience and adheres to practical ideals. Therefore, it goes to candidates whose sincerity is un doubted. Political leaders who fail to recognize tendencies and who de dine to satisfy the unpartisan spirit can hardly be looked upon as diplo matists or able party managers, for they will inevitably injure their par ties by false cleverness which thrown away the substance of the campaign VAN NESS MAKES A HIT.

NEW YORK CHATTER Desperate Effort lo Down the Tiger H.)i)KLV\ DEBimTS DIVIDED The Public Has Lost Faith in J. Pier pont Morgan—Shipping Trust a Frost. York, Oct. 20 —Mention has V*n made in this correspondence be- Sore of the large sums that fusionists Bpend in advertising their candidates in he municipal campaign, but noth ing unique has been seen in thit> before as the sign of the Order mn \corns at the corner of Broadway toad Prince streets. Upon the sign &Te written the words "Stand Pat" I 3 large as to be distinguishable two I ocka away. Naturally one is at tracted by the display and a closer Investigation shows an immense tiger represent in sr Tammany Hall. The beast is caged and hung inside the enclosure is a sign painted with the Question "Will you let him out?" To s variety to this exhibition every h minutes vaudeville singers come out and sins songs and crack fokes bearing upon the corruption of Tammany Hall. The tiger, by the •ray, is called Charley Croker and ■ome have been so unkind as to sug gest that the christian name is after II leader of Tammany while the sur- B&me is in honor of Richard Croker, wnose hand, it would seem, is still Belt in the management* of the wig vram's affairs. A popular idol has been shattered *s a result of 'he shipbuilding trust ■hearing and the steel trust scandal ar-d it will be many a day before tthe public ceases to express its dis appointment in j. Pierpont Morgan. IProm one whose word seemed law he is undoubtedly a discredited man in tho business world today. His denial jpf complicity in the miserable affair jxas failed to reassure the public for Oie facts disclosed are against him ■md he and bis firm must stand ac (nised until they are entirely exon erated by a rigid court of inquiry. Opera singers have oft been ac cused, and justly, of nursing their voices so diligently until their ward robes suffered. In late years, how ever, this accusation has not been substantiated tor some of the most elegant conceits of the cuturi'eres have been designed for operetis stars. For instance the $15,000 jeweled robe oi Mine. Melba and Mme. Sembrics' •wonderful gown for the staccato song in "The Magic Flute." Now there are held at the custom house here 60 elegant dresses for Mme. Patti who arrives next week. As each dress is Uj be worn once only at a single con cert, they go back to Europe in prac tically perfect condition and will serve only the one purpose of tools of trade. As such they will be exempt Erom duty. While the $20,000,000 terminal of ihe Grand Central depot and New "York Centra: railroad will be a won derful affair, it is causing a confusing mass of wreckage to be strewn about one of the busiest sections of ihe city. All the bridges crossing Park avenue between 40th and 50th streets an- closed, and most of the 'dings between Lexington and Park avenues and 45th and 50th street? have been demolished. Wark «nen are knocking down brown stone bouses which weir the pride and joy of the neighborhood a decade ago as children would knock down a row of blocks The Incubator babies have always been a unique feature of New York's hospital system. Not for several months, however, have the baby in cubators at Bellview hospital been occupied. Now they are graced by bits of pink and white flesh weighing respectively eighteen and twenty three ounces. It is the opinion of the doctors that both will live. The grain committee of the produce exchange has ordered 100,000 cam paign buttons for use in the contest to secure the appropriation by the people of the canal bill. The emblem is a canal boat with the motto, "Vote for the Canal Referendum." Members of the exchange declare that the bill must be passed if New York is to get its share of the vast surplus of the export grain that has gone to the outposts of the Gulf and Atlantic sea boards. New York has had a plethora of strikes and labor disputes this year, but if the manufacturers and employ ers have suffered a loss from being unable to fulfill their contracts, the labor unions have also had their treas uries depleted keeping up striking members. As a general settlement of the disturbed conditions seems to draw near there is joy among the workers as well as among the em ployers because of the prospect of getting back to business again. The manufacturers have grown wdse, however, and many are resuming business under contracts with the unions that will permit wori. to go on uninterruptel for a year at 'east. Of late much has been printed of New York's Xouveau Riche, especially by members connected with the "400" It is true that there exists still an impossible barrier between the "old" and the "new,' but every year finds fewer who hold this position. Some of the so-called "new-rich" are none the less of eminent respectability and culture and it is no longer wisdom or justice to attempt to exclude them from what is known as society. Tlie price of stock exchange seats has dropped heavily of late. Seats that sold for $80,000 not many months ago can now be readily be had for $52,000 and there is deep gloom in the street over the matter. Later in the season the prices may soar again, but the general tone of Wall street has been so flat for the past several weeks that even securi ties of unquestionable standing have suffered. There are over 350,000 dark rooms in New York without any windows opening to the outer air or even to another room which itself has win dows opening to the outer air. More over, these rooms are located in over 40,000 different, tenements scattered throughout the different boroughs. A special and systematic examination of cellar living rooms is to be made in the near future so that tenements which do not' conform to the law may be vacated. The democracy of Kings county is in an excellent position to decide the result of the coming city election. Hugh McLaughlin and his Brooklyn followers are not reconciled to Tam many and Murphy and the indications are that there will be considerable knifing of the head of the ticket, enough possibly to elect Mayor Low. Gratifying news to the owners and breeders of thoroughbred stock is the announcement that still another in crease is to be made in the value of important stakes and purses by the jocky clubs and racing associations in the state of New York in 1904. The disinterested work of those gentle menwho have given time, money and influence to the good of racing in this state has been frequently dilated up on, and while virtue is said to be its own reward, in this case the reward for the immense good done is the thorough appreciation of the fact by the masses most vitally interested. Although the great annual horse show, which is the first society event of the season in New York, is three weeks off. a number of westerners and southerners are already arriving for the event. Those who are here will put in the time at the theatres and house parties of society friends who have not come to town and do not intend abandoning their country homes until a day or two before the show opens. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cu r e deaf- I ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deaf j ness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and thin j tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; t nine cases out of ten are caused by i Catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous ser vices. j We will give One Hundred Dollars lor any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Washington, Oct. 26.—Ef the ad minstration feared that Its Cuban reciprocity program was in danger of defeat owing to the opposition of beet sugar republicans, that fear has been dissipated, it is believed, by the changed attitude of southern mem bers of congress in regard to the pro position. Those familiar with condi tions say that manufacturers in the south are becoming aware of the great opening there is for their products in Cuba. At present England is trading with that island and has gobbled up a majority of the business which for merly went to Spain. If the tariff be tween the island and the United States is reduced it will be a big thing for the south, for cotton goods and other products are in great demand in Cuba. It is expected that the Louisiana cane sugar men will oppose the rati fication of the convention, but the large accession to the ranks of reci procity among southern statesmen generally will insure its success. President Roosevelt was called upon yesterday by several rorro R* cans who asked him to arrange for a reciprocity between their island and other countries so that Porto Rican coffee can be sold. The president told his visitors that he used only Porto Rican coffee in the White House, that it was the finest in the world, and that he would be glad to assist the inhao itants of that island to introduce their article everywhere.

Gainesville, Ga., Oct. 26—A great loss of life is reported in the counties of northeast Georgia, due to eating cabbage saturated with poison by strange worms. In the past few weeks persons coming here from A'hite, Union, Dawson, Forsyth and jther nearby counties have reported over twenty deaths from this cause. \t first the mysterious deaths were not understood. They all occurred After eating cabbage. Then a farmer in White county, in gathering cabbage, discovered a worm about two inches long and about the size of a needle. When he touched the leaf the worm was on, it protruded its tongue like a snake and acted in every way like a reptile. He sent the worm to the state chemist who reported that it contained en ough poison to kill fifteen persons. The worms are so small that it is hard for housewives to find them when preparing cabbage for cooking !the dalles transportation cos i
