REPUDIATING DEMOCRACY. It is remarkable that so many of the great democratic leaders are turning from their party, in support of republican principles. Yet the reason is quite apparent, when we bear in mind that republican principles are progressive, and men are controlled more by the love of patriotism and the business interest of the country than by partisanism. In short, partisanism without a wise and calculating concern for those vast interests in which is involved our future destiny, is subversive of the ends promote of the welfare and happiness of the masses. Partisanism alone is destructive without a faithful and judicious regard for the blessings of life and liberty and the ends of free government. Parties without a foremost design to enhance popular interest and preserve the integrity of the nation are dangerous. A blind and reckless disregard of the claims of the people and the ends of government, savors nothing of growth and a permanent good to the republic. The patriot and the statesman who devotes himself to the cause of posterity will seek the best good for the masses, a good that will perpetuate unrivaled blessings and a lasting peace. The republican party contains within its organism the germs of life giving principles which shall inspire a healthy growth of governmental powers, vitalize every artery and vein of our civil system, and solidify the whole machinery upon which our constitution is based. It was founded in time of a great emergency, and its adherents being trained to its principles can never depart from them. It has made liberty and justice the cardinal measures in its platform, and from these there can be no variability nor shadow of turning. But the republican party is equally concerned in regard to those things which shall make our country great and strong and secure to its citizens the broadest prosperity and an independent government. We need not wonder that the brain of the nation still stands in line with republican principles. We need have no surprise that men like Governor Hogg of Texas, repudiate the democratic nominee. We need not ask why honest men are found rallying to the support of President Roosevelt, the man who stands by the constitution and the laws, who stands for the rights of the people, for the liberty of the white man and black man alike, who ventures to every call of duty, who pleads the cause of equal justice to every American, irrespective of races, who bursts the dangerous trusts, who bravely maintained the doctrines of the fathers and dares to declare that his soul is his own. We glory in the growing spirit of American manhood and we rejoice in that liberty and independence which emancipates the soul and bids a people rise and move forward as a world-power among the nations of earth. Grand and fearless as a Christian statesman, President Roosevelt plants himself upon the platform of the universal brotherhood. In emulation of an example so Godlike Governor Hogg commends him as a great and grand man. It is a matter of sincere congratulation that the ablest minds are awakening to the cause of righteousness and fair dealing among men. Very well does Governor Hogg pronounce the "Negro Question, the shame and bugaboo of our century, a ruse to attract attention from the real issue." But the people will not be deceived, will not be misled, and knowing the demands of the hour, they will respond to duty's call. LET REPUBLICANS "STAND PAT." The weak-kneed and vacilating partisan who advocates democratic doctrine while at the same time he styles himself a republican, is a dangerous ally to any party. Despite his loud professions he is an unsafe factor even though regarded as a mighty hustler. There is a class of workers noted for "whooping up" things, and having a large following, yet their labors result in mere double dealing. Republicans are properly known according to the faith and doctrine promulgated by the founders who knew no variableness nor shadow of turning. Since those days a spurious and sycophantic idea under the name of "Lilly whites," has been advanced. Ashamed of the mother party, ashamed of the great principles as proclaimed by the founders and of the leaders who are ever loyal to the dec larations set forth in our national platforms, imbecile half-backs have played a reckless hand in their selfish and unscrupulous ambition. They have repudiated the cardinal idea of republican liberty by declaring themselves opposed to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and have inaugurated a malicious crusade against the civil rights of Afro-Americans. They see their triumph from afar while they conceal the intent of designing ambition, hoping to stand in favor with both parties. But republicans must "stand pat." There is no other alternative for a true and brave man but to be just what he professes. If he is a republican, let him prove himself by his works. We cannot profess one thing and be another. Republicans must stand out boldly and fearlessly for the principles of the party, never swerving one "jot or tittle" from the great measures announced in our national platform. If we meant to conserve the great interests which lead on to certain victory, there must be no kicking in the harness, no quibbling nor cowardly mincing of an honest conviction, but let himself be known in his real colors. He is a dangerous ally who plays pig and pup and will do more to wreck the party in the end than scores of opposing democrats, who are known by what they profess. Let men of the party "stand pat" for republican measures, compromise nothing of right and justice, and surrender nothing espoused in the cause of liberty, and good government. To subserve these interests, is the purpose and mission of the republican party today. The great and strong men of the nation see the need of electing this ticket. They understand the nature of the people, present demands and will as true statesmen utilize every means to preserve the blessings of American institutions. Mr. Roosevelt has shown himself to be one of the ablest of American presidents and it is due the people that the election of himself and Fairbanks shall be carried by an overwhelming majority. WALCOTT KILLED HALL. The Pugilist Also Shattered His Own Hand—Tragedy Probably Accidental. Boston, Mass.—Joe Walcott, the prize fighter, shot and killed Nelson Hall, 40 years of age, at a dance in University hall, Tuesday morning. There is little doubt in the minds of the police that the shooting was purely accidental. Walcott's right hand was pierced through by the bullets that poured from the mouth of his magazine pistol, and it is argued that had the shooting been intentional, Walcott would have at least spared himself. Walcott was taken to the city hospital in the patrol wagon, where he was detained for treatment, being kept under surveillance by two police officers. He will appear in court to answer to a charge of murder. Walcott claims he was showing his weapon to Hall and the gun went off. Although urged by friends to leave the place at once, Walcott refused to do so, and quietly waited for the officers to come and put him under arrest. Want to Punish the Soldier. Washington, D. C.—The war department has had presented to it the case of John T. Smith, a private in the hospital corps at Fort Mott, N. J., who married a "colored" woman and brought her to the army post. The fool contract surgeon in charge of the post recommended that Smith be discharged "for the good of the service." The post commander very sensibly disapproved the recommendation. It went to Gen. Fred Grant, who sided with the contract surgeon. Grant sent the papers to the surgeon general of the army, who also stands by the recommendation to discharge Smith. Tuesday the papers went to the secretary of war, who will doubtless dump them into the waste basket, where they belong. The idea of Fred Grant, a son of the famous general siding in with that addelepated contract surgeon. Well, well, well! We never did think much of him. He ought to change his name. What a pity Grant, the contract surgeon and the surgeon general of the army cannot be "fired" from the army for this petty exhibition of their "smallness!" THIS BREAKS THE RECORD. A White Brute in Mississippi Goes to Prison for Assaulting one of Our Women. Friars Point, Miss.—For the first time in the history of Mississippi courts, a white man was last Saturday sentenced to the penitentiary for life for assaulting a Negro girl. The offense was an aggravated one. The jury was composed of representative white citizens and their only concession to color was fixing the penalty at imprisonment for life, preventing the court from imposing the death sentence. Hammoden Dickey, the prisoner, is a member of a good family in Quitman county. He has a wife and four children. Two months ago he waylaid a 10-year-old girl and had a narrow escape from a mob. President Roosevelt's Testimony. President Roosevelt's testimony. "I know of the bravery and character of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill, carrying everything before them. The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the union."—President Roosevelt. Stands for Human Liberty. "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unfit for president if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected president by those who would close the door of hope against the Afro-American as a citizen. If I am elected to this high office it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations.—President Roosevelt."

See his advertisement elsewhere in this paper. Howard Shorter, age 11, saved his brother's life Monday evening at the corner of Sterling and Central avenues. Arthur Shorter, age 9, on crossing the street was knocked down by the careless driving of Chas. Dill, 875 St. Clair street. The boy gave the alarm and called a policeman who overtook Dill at Longwood and Scovill avenues and brought him back. In the meantime a doctor was summoned. The boy received a serious injury over the left eye. The boys are giving Motorman Ed Turner and Conductor Fred Sampson "the merry ha ha" over their recent Chicago trip. It seems that Ed and Fred had never been very far outside the city limits before, and of course had never ridden in a sleeping car. One story says that they were given an upper berth. Not knowing how to get in and out of it, and being ashamed to ask the porter, Fred "barked" his "shins" getting in, and Ed nearly broke his neck getting out in the morning. Another story says that Fred stepped on Ed's shoulders and thus alighted from the berth without injury. In Chicago both had their pockets sewed for fear of pickpockets and other thieves. Their other experiences, somewhat of a like nature, are most to numerous to mention in this issue and may be concluded in our next. The injuries of George Myers, proprietor of the Hollenden house barber shop, who was hurt Wednesday evening of last week, were received through a fall down the elevator shaft at the residence of W. J. Southworth, of No. 696 Euclid avenue, where he had gone, as he had frequently done before, to shave Mr. Southworth. Myers had started to the linen room when the accident happened. By mistake he opened the doors to the elevator shaft instead of that of the THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1904. linen room and stepped forward into the darkness. There was no inside gate and Myers fell eighteen feet into the basement. At Huron Street hospital, where Myers is with both legs fractured, it is said his condition is not dangerous, and that he is doing reasonably well. It was certainly a distressing accident from which he will be a long time fully recovering. Our people who daily lunch or dine down town should have sufficient race pride to occasionally, at least, patronize Crawford's "Gem" restaurant at 91 Sheriff street, and the B. B. cafe and restaurant at No. 31 Chestnut street. They furnish as good a lunch or meal if not better than you can get anywhere else and at prices just as cheap if not cheaper. Do not forget our two undertakers, the Woodliff dentists, John S. Hall, the watchmaker and jeweler; C. L. Lacey with Seigler Brothers, and our other advertisers. The Emancipation committee report claims that 270 fifty cent tickets were sold at the armory and nine twenty-five cent (half) tickets; also that $50.50 was "turned in on account of tickets sold outside." There were, therefore, 371 adult paid admissions and nine who used one-half tickets, presumably children, making a total of only 380 paid admissions in the armory. The report also says that there were 169 free admissions or rather that free admission tickets were given to that number. Whether all those holding free tickets were present or not, we cannot say, but presuming that they were, the total number of persons in the armory, paid and free, according to the committee's report, was only 549. If there is any unbiased well-known citizen of this community, who was present at the armory on the night of the celebration who will tell us on his honor as a gentleman that there were not more than 549 persons in that immense crowd at the armory that night, then we will stop our queries and permit some members of the committee to ease the restless spirit they have developed as the result of The Gazette's questions anent the recent Emancipation celebration. The following is a partial list of the many valuable presents received by Mr. and Mrs. James Franklin Perkins, nee Miss Mary Elizabeth Taylor, one of our first young ladies, who were married last week Wednesday evening at the bride's mothers' residence, No. 499 Lake street: Messrs. Chas. and Wilson Berry, Youngstown, hammered brass vase with rhinestones; Mrs. Robert Johnson, Duluth, linen bed set; father and Mrs. E. T. Demby, Key West, and Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Ricks, silver table spoons and $10 in gold; Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Leece and Miss Leece, Youngstown, spread; Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Smith, Philadelphia, lace fan; Mrs. C. A. Berry, Mercer, Pa., silver and gold fruit dish; Misses Luella and Susie Perkins, Ann Arbor, salt, pepper and celery dishes; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Myers, Pittsburg, silver baking dish; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Price, Youngstown, silver spoons; Mrs. R. L. Redgely, Duluth, hemstitched table cloth and napkins; Mrs. Rufus, Miss Maude and Mr. Orlando Fitzugh, Mercer, Pa., Battenburg center piece, sweet grass basket and silver ladle; Mr. and Mrs. Harvey J. White, Baltimore, silver English teapot; Miss Holmes, Youngstown, silver bread and butter knives; Mr. Jno. Holmes, jr., Youngstown, silver soup ladle; Mrs. Lena Rice, silver teaspoons; Mr. and Mrs. A. Horton, Youngstown, silver cheese scoop; Mr. and Mrs. Joe East, Duluth, cut glass olive dish; Chaplain and Mrs. W. T. Anderson, Ft. Robinson, Neb., cut glass fruit dish and silver spoon; Mrs. J. H. Lewis, Youngstown, rug and twelve cans of fruit; Mrs. L. Richards, Branchton, Pa., Mesdames Berry, Lynch, Stewart and D. Berry, lunch cloths; Miss Cora Johnson, Massillon, Mexican medallion; the many friends in the city remembered Mr. and Mrs. Perkins with costly and useful gifts in cut glass, china, silver, linens, clocks and vases. The bride's aunt, Mrs. C. H. Peebles, gave an oak china cabinet; Dr. H. F. Biggar, a check for $20; Mr. Wabel, one for $10. According to the books of the Rover Safety Rack Company, over $1,700 was realized from the sale of stock in about ten months, beginning Oct. 13, 1903. Under a contract, Chas. F. Garland was paid $600 by the company for the right to "use and vend" his alleged invention which he claims to have patented and which he has never put the company in possession of so that they could "use and vend" the same. The fact is that the alleged invention has never been perfected—if that be possible. The result is that, between the 13th of Oct., 1903, and the 13th of Oct., 1904, the first year under the contract, the company has never been able to "use and vend" the alleged invention as cited in the contract. During the first eight or ten months of the year, expiring with the 13th of this month, the cash balance of $1,100 or more was spent on the suggestion of the vice president, general manager and later on also treasurer, Chas. F. Garland, for models, patents, salaries, office rent, etc., in addition to this, an indebtedness aggregating about $168 was incurred, making the total outlay for the year about $2,000. The majority of the 20 or 30 stockholders in the company seem to be women, a number of whom hold from one to three hundred dollars worth of "stock." A number of the men are likewise situated. Under the contract, already referred to, either Garland or the Rover Safety Rack Company can terminate business relations with one another at the expiration of the first year if either does not desire to continue them. If Garland's alleged invention had ever been completed and put on the market—in our judgement at least—it would never have been practical as a money-maker or a salable product. There is much more in connection with this Rover Safety Rack Company business which we shall give from week to week as we deem it advisable. Just at present some of the stockholders are considering the advisability of invoking the aid of the counts to secure the return of the $600 paid Garland under the contract and to recover as much as possible of the $1,100 cash spent by him as manager on his own recommendation and "with the approval of the board of directors."

Items Gathered from the Different Sections of the United States and For- eign Lands. Admiral Goodrich's flagship New York during her target practice in Magdalena Bay, Mexico, broke the world's record for firing eight-inch guns, making the greatest scores, based on time and accuracy, ever made with guns of this calibre, either in our own or any other navy. Fifteen persons were injured, two of them perhaps fatally, in a collision between the eastbound California limited passenger train and a westbound freight train on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, a mile and a half west of Portland, Col. Frank Hadsell, aged 28, who a couple of years ago sold his wife to Robert Bailey, of New Marlboro, Mass., for 50 cents and "all the cider he could drink," is in custody, charged with bigamy, it being alleged he recently married a young woman in Lynn, Mass. Hadsell says he supposed he was free to marry after having disposed of his first wife. The entire racing stable of W. C. Whitney, which has been racing this year under the name and colors of H. B. Duryea, was sold at Morris Park, N. Y., recently. Twenty-six horses sold for a total of $83,500. The Pittsburg Automobile club, which has in its membership most of the wealthy men in Pittsburg, has decided to take a novel stand against the fast driving of automobiles. Counsel for the club has announced that the latter will pay $250 for the arrest of each person speeding beyond the legal limit. E. D. Fulford, champion trap shot, died at his home in Utica, N. Y., after a brief illness, of pneumonia. Mr. Fulford was an inventor of some note and had patents upon many improvements in guns. Ex-Gov. Alonzo B. Cornell is dead at his home in Ithaca, N. Y., after an illness of several months. He was 72 years of age. The schooner Billow, bound from Lockport, L. I., for Portland, Me., is ashore on Little Beach island, off Biddeford, Me., and is a total wreck. Capt. K. A. Nash and his crew were saved by the Biddeford life saving crew. The Carnegie Steel Co. has started two more open hearth furnaces at South Sharon, Pa., making eight out of 12 in operation. It is stated that the entire plant will be running in full by the first of next month, affording employment to over 2,000 men. Judge Barber, of the common pleas court at Toledo, O., has decided that the Toledo Fire Underwriters' association is an illegal body. His conclusion is that the object of the combination is to maintain rates and to eliminate competition, and that the scheme is unlawful and the compact between members is null and void. The transfer steamer S. J. Morgan struck an obstruction below Cairo, Ill., and sank in several feet of water. The crew escaped. The boat was worth $30,000. A British ship has been wrecked on Terra del Fuego, near the Straits of Magellan, on the Pacific side. The vessel is a total loss. No loss of life was reported. Ebenezer B. Beecher, a well known match manufacturer and a son of Anson Beecher, whose invention of a machine completely revolutionized the match making industry, is dead at New Haven, Conn., at the age of 74. As a precaution against disastrous fires, automatic alarm lines running direct to the fire department are being installed in Chicago theatres. The wires are connected with the sprinkler systems, and when the atmosphere becomes heated beyond a certain degree the alarm is turned in automatically. William F. Fette, aged 80, one of the pioneers of Milwaukee, Wis., was recently found dead from asphyxiation and his wife was found unconscious in their home. Mrs. Fette is not expected to recover. The gas was found turned on, but whether by accident or with suicidal intent is not known. A strike is threatened in the Kanawha mining district of West Virginia that would affect many mines. Notices have been posted saying "those having authority to employ men at this mine will make no distinction between union and non-union men." The officials of the United Mine Workers objected to this and at a meeting of all the miners advised a strike at all mines where the notice was not taken down. Burglaries forced an entrance to the court house in Wheaton, a suburb of Chicago, and dynamited the vault in the county clerk's office. They escaped with a quantity of jewelry deposited there and hundreds of valuable court records. The records contain the evidence in murder cases and other important suits, besides the written evidence of real estate and property transfers. In order to avert a repetition of the fatal panic which attended the opening of the Brooklyn bridge, it has been arranged to open the rapid transit subway in New York City at midnight, October 27, instead of beginning its operation at a busier hour of the day. The British steamer Hubert has arrived at Barbadoes and reports that on October 7 she sighted the British steamer Kelvin, abandoned, listed to starboard. On account of boisterous weather and a heavy sea the Kelvin could not be boarded. The Kelvin sailed from New York October 5 for Montevideo. An attempt was made recently to blow up with dynamite the Glassport (Pa.) hotel, which harbored 40 nonunion men employed at the Pittsburg steel foundry works, where there is a strike. The building was partially wrecked and, the sleeping inmates thrown from their beds. Edward O. Johnson, 38 years old, a lawyer, was found dead in bed at Syracuse, N. Y. He had saturated the bed clothing with chloroform and wrapped it about his head. Johnson was attorney for the executor of an estate and had postponed settlement for some time. He had been informed that no more delay would be permitted. Four Japanese students employed as meat canners at the Chicago stock yards had a hand to hand engagement with a number of Russian packing house employees and suffered a complete rout. One of the students was taken to a hospital severely injured. Mrs. Nellie McCarthy was burned to death at 247 East Sixty-second street, New York City, and Mrs. Annie Martin is under arrest, charged lwth the homicide. The tragedy is said to have resulted from a quarrel between the two women over the respective merits of their husbands. Mrs. Martin, who is only 22 years of age, flung a iamp in the other woman's face. The demand of Great Britain for an indemnity of $3,750,000 from the Thibetans appears likely to lead to a prolonged British occupation of the Chumbi valley. The Thibetans declared their inability to pay the indemnity within the three years stipulated and Great Britain has proposed that the payments be made at the rate of $50,000 yearly and that until the whole sum is paid the British retain possession of this valley, which is the key to Thibet. Safe crackers dynamited the safe of the New Cumberland, W. Va., post-office and secured several hundred dollars in cash and stamps. Despondent because he had failed to make a success of his business since coming to this country a few months ago, Paul Godard, a French expert in precious stones, jumped from one of the approaches of the new Williamsburg, N. Y., bridge and was dashed to death on the stone pavement 125 feet below. John McCullagh, former chief of police of New York City, has been recommended to the Panama government by Police Commissioner McAdoo as the best available man to organize a police department for the new republic. Mr. McCullagh, who now resides at Goshen, N. Y., is a republican, while Mr. McAdoo is a democrat. The strike of coal miners of district No. 15, United Mine Workers, which has been on for a year has been practically closed up, according to a dispatch from Trinidad, Col. The commissaries are closed, most of the tents have been taken down and the men are looking for situations wherever they can get them. The supreme court of Michigan has reversed the conviction in a lower court of Calvin Bird, on the charge of giving liquor to a minor. The court ruled that only a druggist or saloon-keeper could be tried for this offense under the law. Bird gave a young girl guest at his home some beer, out of mere hospitality. The volunteer "poison squad" which Chemist Wiley, of the department of agriculture, will use in experiments to determine the effect on the human system of food preserves, etc., will begin their work for the third year on November 1. There will be 12 men, all employees of the department, who subscribe to strict diet rules. The three Chicago tanneries of the American Hide and Leather Co. have returned to the ten-hour day after working on the nine-hour basis for 18 months. The change affected 1,200 men, of whom 80, being members of the union, went on strike. Competition, officers of the company said, made the longer workday necessary. John Creech, of Watervliet, shot Martin Lavendusky, of Troy, N. Y., and then turned his pistol on himself. Lavendusky was not seriously wounded, but Creech was instantly killed. The shooting took place on Franklin Square, in the busiest part of Troy. Wilhelmina Masur, aged 50 years, wife of John Masur, one of the oldest newspaper men of Pittsburg, was stamped to death by a bull in the stable at their home in Allegheny. About 150 telephone girls have gone on strike in the general offices of the Pacific States Telephone Co. at Portland, Ore., completely tieing up the telephone system of the city. One man was killed, another seriously injured and about 20 others sustained minor injuries in a street car accident at Eckington, a sub-division of Washington, D. C. The car struck a sharp curve when, it is supposed, the flange of one of the front wheels broke. The car slid off the tracks and turned on its side. The safe in Faust's restaurant at St. Louis was forced open and $4,110 in currency and checks taken from the cash drawer, while $570, the personal savings of the head barkeeper, was left intact. The police are searching for the assistant night barkeeper who, they assert, has disappeared. A definite step has been taken towards the amalgamation of the Free Baptist church of America with the Disciples of Christ, the Christian church. At Paducah, Ky., the harness and saddle manufacturing establishment of E. Renkopf & Co. was destroyed by fire. Loss $50,000, partly insured. The fire is thought to be of incendiary origin. Fire at Nashville, Tenn., destroyed the new freight sheds of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railway and their contents, entailing a loss estimated at $200,000, with no insurance. It has been decided by the war department to discontinue heavy gun practice at Forts Hancock, Wadsworth and Hamilton. Artillery officers say conditions about lower New York bay have become such as to render practice with the big guns almost impossible. A decided stand against record breaking runs over public highways has been taken by the Automobile Club of America. The directors of that organization have indefinitely suspended a well known New York automobilist who established a record, in June last, between Boston and New York, negotiating 245 miles in six hours, 55 minutes. Ranchers arriving at Big Pine, Wyo., from the vicinity of Gray's river report a pitched battle between the sheep and cattle forces between the river and Piney creek in which 700 sheep, the property of the Butterfield outpt. were driven over a high cliff and killed. Because of a drought, planters and stock raisers near Montgomery, Ala., are in a serious plight. No rain has fallen since September 5 and in some places wells and springs have run dry, necessitating the hauling of water for many miles, almost daily, to prevent cattle from dying of thirst. Maurice C. Pike, 67 years old, once widely known as an actor, is dead on Hart's Island, N. Y., where he was serving a sentence of six months for vagrancy. His first role was played in a Bowery theatre 50 years ago. Three months ago the old man was found sleeping in a hallway and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Mississippi planters are employing whole families of Mexicans for work in that state. There is a general movement in Mississippi to get rid of the negro laborer as far as possible Planters have pooled their interests in the effort to change the character of labor. TO QUIET FEARS IN PANAMA. SECRETARY TAFT IS ORDERED TO GO TO THE ISTHMUS. The Secretary of War Has Been Delegated to Assure the Panama Government of the Good Intentions of the United States. Washington, Oct. 20.—The following letter has been sent by the president to the secretary of war after a conference with the secretary of state and the secretary of war in respect to the conditions in Panama: "Sir—By executive order of May 9, 1904, I placed under your immediate supervision the work of the isthmian canal commission, both in the construction of the canal and in the exercise of such governmental powers as it seemed necessary for the United States to exercise under the treaty with the republic of Panama in the canal strip. There is ground for believing that in the execution of the rights conferred by the treaty the people of Panama have been unduly alarmed at the effect of the establishment of a government in the canal strip by the commission. Apparently they fear lest the effect be to create out of part of their territory a competing and independent community which shall injuriously affect their business, reduce their revenues and diminish their prestige as a nation. "The United States is about to confer on the people of the state of Panama a very great benefit by the expenditure of millions of dollars in the construction of the canal. But this fact must not blind us to the importance of so exercising the authority given us under the treaty with Panama as to avoid creating any suspicion, however unfounded, of our intentions as to the future. We have not the slightest intention of establishing an independent colony in the middle of the state of Panama, or of exercising any greater governmental functions than are necessary to enable us to construct, maintain and operate the canal, under the rights given us by the treaty. Least of all do we desire to interfere with the business and prosperity of the people of Panama. "However far a just construction of the treaty might enable us to go, did the exigencies of the case require it, in asserting the equivalent of sovereignty over the canal strip, it is our full intention that the rights which we exercise shall be exercised with all proper care for the honor and interests of the people of Panama. The exercise of such powers as are given us by the treaty within the geographical boundaries of the republic of Panama may easily, if a real sympathy for both the present and future welfare of the people of Panama is not shown, create distrust of the American government. "I have concluded that it will be of great advantage if you can visit the isthmus of Panama in person and hold a conference with the president and other governmental authorities of the republic of Panama. You are authorized in doing this to take with you such persons as you desire, familiar with the conditions in the isthmus, who may aid you with their counsel. The earlier you are able to make this visit the better. You will advise the president of the republic what the policy of this government is to be and assure him that it is not the purpose of the United States to take advantage of the rights conferred upon it by the treaty to interfere with the welfare and prosperity of the state of Panama or of the cities of Colon and Panama. You will make due report of the result of your visit on your return. Very truly yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Senor O baldia, minister of Panama to the United States, held a conference with the secretary of state and secretary of war subsequent to the receipt of this letter, and the secretary of war invited the minister to accompany him on his trip to Panama. It is impossible to say exactly when the secretary of war can leave for Panama, but probably on November 14. Judge Magoon, the law officer of the canal commission and of the bureau of insular affairs, who has been of much assistance in framing regulations for the canal strip, also will be of the party. The members of the senate and house committees dealing with isthmian affairs will be invited. "COLONIZATION" FRAUDS. Trial of Two New Yorkers Accused of a Serious Offense Begins. New York, Oct. 20.—Richard Van Cott, son of the postmaster of New York, and republican candidate for the assembly in the Fifth district, and Bankson McAvoy, cashier in the general postoffice, a republican worker in the Fifth district, were arraigned yesterday on a charge of having colonized in the district non-resident citizens, with the purpose of voting them at the coming election. Benjamin D. Levy, who is said to have made a confession relative to the case, was a witness. Slips bearing the addresses of houses where the men are alleged to lodge were identified by Levy as papers given to him by Van Cott. Levy said the bargain between him and McAvoy about procuring men was: "One dollar for registration, six weeks' board and a couple of dollars for the vote on election day." Marines Guard a Shipyard. Philadelphia, Oct. 20.—In compliance with an order received at the League Island navy yard from Washington a detail of marines was sent yesterday to Cramp's shipyard to guard the armored cruiser Pennsylvania, which is receiving the finishing touches preparatory to a builder's trial. On the ways are the cruiser Tennessee and the battleships Idaho and Mississippi. With the regularly detailed watchers employed by the Cramp Co. the marines will pay special attention to the Pennsylvania and Tennessee. McKeesport, Pa., Oct. 20.—James L. Curley, aged 21, a draughtsman, last night gave up his life to save his sweetheart. Curley and a companion named Meyers were escorting Misses Walters and Kessler to their homes, and while crossing the Baltimore & Ohio tracks at Eleventh street a switch engine bore down upon them. Curley gave the alarm in time for Mr. Meyers and Miss Kessler to reach safety, but he and Miss Walters were behind the first couple and Curley seized Miss Walters and threw her clear the track.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Silent Wedding Party. Every member of the wedding party being a deaf-mute, the wedding of Miss Emma Blanche Warden, of Harrisburg, Pa., and James Ladd, of Bingham' Center, Potter county, was an unusual one. The ceremony was conducted at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Warden. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. F. C. Smielau, also of Williamsport. The Episcopalian ritual was followed, the sign language being used. The attendants were classmates of the bridal couple at the Mount Airy seminary. Gunid Their Interpreter The Rev. H. F. Regan, of Carthage, N. Y., married a couple, neither of whom could speak or understand the language of the other.

Mr. and Mrs. Amorose have been in this country only a short time. They speak only their mother tongue. THIS WOMAN KNOWS WHAT ONE OF THE SEX DISCOVERED TO HER GREAT JOY. Mrs. De Long Finds that the Indescribable Pain of Rheumatism Can be Cured Through the Blood. Mrs. E. M. De Long, of No. 160 West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found herself suddenly attacked by rheumatism in the winter of 1896. She gave the doctor a chance to help her, which he failed to improve, and then she did some thinking and experimenting of her own. She was so successful that she deems it her duty to tell the story of her escape from suffering: "My brother-in-law," she says," was enthusiastic on the subject of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a purifier of the blood, and when I was suffering extreme pains in the joints of my ankles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows, and the doctor was giving me no relief, I began to reflect that rheumatism is a disease of the blood and that, if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are so good for the blood, they must be good for rheumatism and worth a trial. "I was in bed half the time, suffering with pain that cannot be described to one who has never had the disease. It would concentrate sometimes in one set of joints. When it was in my feet I could not walk, when it was in my elbows and wrists I could not even draw the coverlets over my body. I had suffered in this way for weeks before I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Two weeks after I began with them I experienced relief and after I had taken six boxes I was entirely well. To make sure I continued to use them about two weeks longer and then stopped altogether. For several years I have had no reason to use them for myself, but I have recommended them to others as an excellent remedy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish the blood with all the elements that are needed to build up healthy tissue, strong muscles and nerves, capable of bearing the strain that nature puts upon them. They really make new blood and cure all diseases arising from disorders of the blood or nerves, such as sciatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous prostration, anemia and all forms of weakness in either male or female. They are sold by all druggists. Western Canada's Magnificent Crops for 1904 Western Canada's Wheat Crop this year will be **80,000,000** bushels, and wheat at present is worth **$10,000** a bushel.

The zouave or sleeveless bolero has run riot in a variety of colors and fabrics; for autumn wear it is generally made of velvet or silk to match the hat, but in direct contrast to the rest of the costume, but this is but the craze of a moment. Yellow, green, bronze and art shades prevail in millinery as they do in dress. Taking it all round, millinery is rather pretty, though it apes the tendency of the dress of the moment to be rather heavy. Once more we shall wear huge Josephine muffs of ermine, sable and chinchilla. The full length, as well as the three-quarter length redingote is being made in one fur lined with another. Evening cloaks are quite gorgeous and fully trained. There is to be a revival, I hear, of Quaker gray, very simply made. A house frock of Quaker gray cashmere with a deep muslin collar and little vest and turned-back cuffs of the same, and a prettily swathed suede band of the same shade, offers a pleasing contrast to frills and furbelows. The skirt of this particular frock was cut like the orthodox "housemaid's," falling in heavy folds to the feet, and finished with deep tucks, which are a charming finish to an indoor garment. The fancy for simplicity is shown in the craze for the princess robe. This fashion will never become common, for it is difficult of imitation, and is not a generally becoming mode. On the other hand, in direct contrast to this simplicity, we see a predominance of gold and silver embroideries, jeweled trimmings, rare laces, edgings of fur and beautiful moire antiques which would not have disgraced the court gowns of our grandmothers. Neither have we forsaken the eastern styles and the kimona is as popular as the Josephine redingote. But I fancy that lurking deep in the minds of the great fashion authorities there is an inclination for ultra simplicity in spite of the beautiful trimming and fabrics at their disposal. There bids fair to be a return to the Puritanical era, though it will not be to denote our disapproval of beautiful and sumptuous garments, but our desire for change and a certain coquetry and chic which dominate French clothes. This is particularly noticeable in some of the picture frocks on view just house seems to contradict the rest. But in spite of all discussions, some beautiful models are beginning to hold their own, and the end of it all is that nothing matters as long as a garment is chic and suits the wearer. Many costumieres are agreed about the bringing in of a sleeve of the gigot order; and others have tried to keep the skirts short, but as these are never becoming in light cloths that so many mandaines are wearing, they have to ATTACKS DARWIN THEORY. Holland Professor Electrifies Congress of Arts and Science by Denouncing Popular Idea. Combating the theory of Darwin as to the origin of species and advancing a theory of his own which revolutionizes all ideas of biologists and phylogists, Prof. Hugo De Vries, professor of botany in the University of Amsterdam, Holland, electrified 350 members of the congress of arts and science who gathered at the meeting of the section of phylogony in convention hall at St. Louis recently. His address, which gave for the first time to the scientific world in detail the results of a lifetime research, roused immediate interest, and following the eminent European, Prof. Charles O. Whitman, of the University of Chicago, took instant objection to his theories. President David Starr Jordan, the most noted of the defenders of Darwinism, and biologists from all sections of the world participated in the hot debate which followed. Prof. De Vries does not wholly discredit Darwin. On the contrary, he rather emphasizes some of the main essentials of that renowned scientist, but in such a manner that if the thought of the Hollander becomes recognized as a basic principle of evolution Darwin must necessarily be relegated to the ranks of those who for a time have occupied the stage of action. In theoretical language the thought of Prof. De Vries is in this strain: Natural selection is only a seine and is no force of nature, no direct force of nature as has so often been asserted. Artificial selection consists of two main principles, called variety-testing and racial improvement. Species as we see them in nature fluctuate within fixed limits which are not seen to be transgressed. RAISE ENORMOUS PUMPKINS. Thirty of Them, Grown by Pennsylvania Gardener, Weigh Nearly Four Hundred Pounds. All feats in pumpkin raising have been surpassed by John Weir, who owns a small garden in the farm of the Philadelphia Vacant Lots association, in Philadelphia. Several weeks ago Weir threw some pumpkin seeds on a steep embankment which borders his farm. There were signs of miniature pumpkins on his vine, and to prevent them from interfering with his other vegetables he threw the vine over the top of a tree. Then he forgot all about the pumpkin vine. He was startled one day to see pumpkins appearing among the foliage of the tree. There was a big bunch of them, big and heavy, and they were bearing heavily upon the branches of the tree. In order that they might thrive in comfort Weir built a shelf under each pumpkin and they grew bigger and stronger until then encircled the entire tree. All together they were 30 of them, weighing collectively, 350 pounds. They are now getting ready to appear in a large aggregation of pumpkin pies. INVENT METAL LIKE GOLD Italian Father and Son Offered $1,200,-000 for Their Discovery—Patents Taken Out. A new metal, which possesses many of the qualities of gold, including its color, and which can be made at oneenth the cost of copper, has been invented by the admixture of several metals and chemicals. The discoverers are father and son, named Fabinani, and in conjunction with an Italian engineer, M. Traveglina, all residing in Florence, Italy, they worked several years before they succeeded in finding the right formula. Having taken out patents for their discovery they submitted specimens of the metal to capitalists in Paris and recently received from a Belgian electrical company an offer of $1,200,000 for their discovery. The company will start a factory in Belgium and intends to use it instead of copper, principally in the manufacture of electrical wires and conduits. It is said that one of the Rothschilds is largely interested in the company. Prof. Giard, of London, in a report sent to the minister of marine has white-washed the oyster, which had been given a bad name two winters ago. He says that, first of all, none of the maladies of the bivalve is catching for man. Finally, the professor asserts that it is a question whether any authentic cases of typhoid can be traced to the oyster, and that at all events such cases are so rare as to be negligible. SAFEST FOOD In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts Food to rebuild the strength and that is pre digested must be selected when one is convalescent. At this time there is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts for the reason that this food is all nourishment and is also all digestible nourishment. A woman who used it says: "Some time ago I was very ill with typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought I would die, even myself. It left me so weak I could not properly digest food of any kind and I also had much bowel trouble which left me a weak, helpless wreck. "I needed nourishment as badly as anyone could, but none of the tonics helped me until I finally tried Grape-Nuts food morning and evening. This not only supplied food that I thought delicious as could be but it also made me perfectly well and strong again so I can do all my housework, sleep well, can eat anything without any trace of bowel trouble and for that reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight in gold." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Typhoid fever like some other diseases attacks the bowels and frequently sets up bleeding and makes them for months incapable of digesting the starches and therefore pre digested Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well-known reason that in Grape-Nuts all the starches have been transformed into grape sugar. This means that the first stage of digestion has been mechanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts food at the factories and therefore anyone, no matter how weak the stomach, can handle it and grow strong, for all the nourishment is still there. There's a sound reason and 10 days trial proves. Materials and Modes of Winter The Sleeves and Shirts of Paris INE faced cloths are the favorite fabrics, in dark green, bronze, brown and dull reds for day wear. F The craze for embroideries and trimmings of every kind is notorious or ARIS.—One of the most interesting events in the world of ateliers just now is the controversy going on about skirts and sleeves, and, as I think I have told you before, nearly every P JONY COULD CHARMING DINNER GOWN. Made of Taffeta and Mousseline de Soie, Finished with Fringe and Lace. give way and make the skirts fall on the ground. Then a controversy rages over the length of the coat. You really may adopt any form of coat you like, from the very shortest bolero to a paletot reaching to the knees, or from the loose sac to the plainest and tightest fitting habit coat. You will be equally in the fashion in whichever shape you appear. While the tailors and dressmakers are discussing modes, their clients wish to be buying, so what will happen I do not know, especially to the English and American women over here just now, where one craze seems to be to get the very dernier cri. I fear they will have many disappointments. The Parisian mondaine knows better; she knows what suits her and she makes up her mind to have it, taking a little bit of fashion from each period, and suiting them all to herself. Even the heads of the leading ateliers are afraid to dictate to such a client. FROM FOREIGN FIELDS. A man in England swallowed a wasp in drinking beer. The fright caused heart failure and death. Nearly every summer there are some cases of genuine cholera in St. Petersburg. Last summer there were three. Apparently mosquitoes have come to London to stay, and they seem to be making their way into the country places. All the soldiers in the army of Argentina are forced to play football. It is said to train them to bear the hardships of battle. now at country house gatherings; they are mostly exact copies of the old masters in lovely soft modern fabrics. Faithfully, too, do we adhere to some of the old-fashioned colorings, with wonderfully good effect. In the course of a day the woman of fashion passes through many phases. In the morning she is essentially smart and tailor-made; in the toilet de visite she is absolutely magnificent, and in the evening is simple and picturesque. The woman who is really chic can adapt herself to each phase with equal success. Some years ago none but the great leaders of fashion understood the subtleties of dress, but MOREY GOLD. AN "AT HOME" GOWN. Made of Taffeta and Velvet, Trimmed with Lace. now it has become a much more universal accomplishment in some form or other. Many house frocks have been made of flannel with square sailor collars of tucked muslin or lawn and a high collar and vest to match. The fashion of wearing light French cambric near the face is always a pretty one. The blouses cut in sailor fashion are generally pouched over a prettily arranged band, and the sleeves are small, and very often muslin frills over the hand. These frills also appear on the cuffs of the Directoire coat. A good many lace blouses will be worn later on under the cloth and fur coats. These are indispensable for restaurant lunching. ELLEN OSMONDE. Every one is assisting in making faced cloth the favorite fabric and it is produced in very beautiful colors. The best dressers are wearing harmonies in color instead of startling contrasts. And what about sleeves? Those in the toilette de visite have really assumed alarming proportions. Puffed sleeves are much en evidence, and regular rouleaux of velvet are inserted in the Tudor sleeve. The long, tight-fitting cuff above the elbow is also a feature, as is the dainty lace ruffle which is surely gaining favor. Then there is the Henry II. sleeve, puffed all the way up, but tight at the elbow. This is too stiff and bulky to be generally becoming, unless made in a thin taffeta or some equally soft fabric. Some of the petticoats are hooped, and we hear a lot about the crinoline, but we do not see any. Really, this fashion of stiffening the hem of the petticoat by a hoop is almost necessary to support the heavily weighted cloth skirt, which at its best falls in simple folds. Most of the skirts are worn full over the hips, or rather the pleats are arranged to increase the size of the hips. The tailor-made coats even are made with a slightly full basque in preference to a perfectly plain one, though some of the severely plain Viennese models have the semi-fitting habit coat cut all in one, showing the curves of the figure, and here the sleeves are absolutely plain (though the skirt is full round the feet) and the only permissible trimming is braid or velvet buttons. Some of these coats are cut double-breasted, and are worn over embroidered vests. What a liking there is for brown and yellow. The new orange shade known as coq de Roche will be seen at some exclusive weddings and receptions, and the real Mandarin color will also be used. Some of the best houses are using laces dyed to match. In direct contrast to the bright shades stone gray is much de rigueur, and so are very dark greens and moleskin tones ANNETTE GIRVY Never Touched Him One should display patience when foreigners are to be dealt with, particularly when they are newcomers and not familiar with our language, but there are times when patience ceases to be a virtue. An exceedingly dull type of the illiterate foreign article had tried the occupants of a North side apartment house quite to the limit of endurance by his stupidity. Finally a tenant, thoroughly aroused by some repeated offense, berated him up the banks and down again in true American fashion, calling him a senseless Swede, a stupid dolt, and so on. When the storm of words had subsided a fellow workman said: "I'd never let anyone talk to me like that." The man who had received the scolding phlegmatically replied: "Oh, I no mind; I no Swede, I Dae."—Chicago Inter Ocean. When a brigade of mutinous troops took the city of Liuchufu, south China, the other day, they pillaged and slew for 48 hours. So great was their booty that they compelled 4,500 of the inhabitants to help them to carry it to the hills, where they joined the rebels. The people of Jersey, Channel islands, refused to carry out the provisions of the new British militia law, so the Briths government withdrew the regiment always hitherto stationed on the island. The islanders are out at least $350,000 a year thereby, and are inclined to regret their independent attitude.

Musician Played So Well That the Congregation Wouldn't Be Dismissed. "Reginald De Koven was touring the country with one of his operas," said a New York musician, "and a certain Sunday found him in the town of Dayton. "They told Mr. De Koven that an Episcopal church in the neighborhood had a superb organ. Accordingly he went to that church, ascended to the organ loft, and sat beside the organist during the morning's service. "You seem to know something about music," said the organist in a condescending way. "I'll let you dismiss the congregation if you'd like." "Why, yes," said De Koven, "I would like that very much." "Accordingly, at the end of the recessional, he exchanged places with the organist and began to play Mendelssohn's 'Spring Song.' He played beautifully. The Dayton people, enthralled by the wonderful music, refused to depart. They sat in rapt enjoyment, and after the 'Spring Song' was finished Mr. De Koven began Chopin's 'Funeral March.' "Suddenly a heavy hand was laid on his shoulder and he was pushed off the music stool. "You can't dismiss a congregation," said the organist, impatiently. "Watch and see how soon I'll get them out." GOING TO STAY YOUNG. Even Government Inspectors Couldn't Make Her Older Than She Looked. A Brooklyn woman lately returned from Europe was describing to her husband who had remained at home her experiences with the customs inspectors who had taken her declaration in the cabin of the liner coming up the bay, relates the Brooklyn Eagle. "When he asked me my age," she said, "I told him 30." "But, my dear," exclaimed the husband, "you're over 30." "I know it," she returned, "but do I look more?" "No, you don't; that's a fact." No, you don't; that's a fact. "Well," she concluded, triumphantly, convinced that mere man was squealed once more by the force of feminine logic, "until I look more than 30 I'm going to be 30, and I don't care for the old United States government and all its customs inspectors and declarations. They can't make me older than I look or want to be." Long Way Round. A new word has been introduced into the Flemish language. It is Snellpaardelooszooneerderspoepwetprolirijuig. The etymology is: "Snell", rapid; "paardeloos", horseless; "zeendeerspoepwet", without rails; "petrolirijuig", driven by petroleum. The whole word, as can be easily seen, means motor car -Detroit Free Press. Maps. Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the most notable English writers known to the present generation, was wont to say that nothing interested him more than the perusal of a good map; and without doubt, a map that is well made and accurate catches the eye and arrests the attention of many people as few other things can do. The men in charge of railway traffic possess a most positive appreciation of this fact and a large expenditure of time and skillful thought is made on this feature of railway publicity, so that such portions of the country as the Black Hills in South Dakota, the wonderful mountain ranges compactly rising tier upon tier throughout the central and western portion of Colorado, the rich valleys and hillsides of California, covered with vineyards, orchards and grain fields, Yellowstone Park, the Yosemite, Alaska, and those regions of interlacing lakes and water courses which mark that portion of the great northwest located in upper Wisconsin, southern Minnesota and that part of Michigan known as the Upper Peninsula, have been mapped in detail and given to the public gratis, far and wide. Said an official of the Chicago & North-Western Railway recently: "The American railway map engraver has carried his art well-night to the borders of perfection. I do not know of any road maps or other detailed data for the state of Wisconsin, for instance, that equal those published by our passenger department, showing the haunts of summer tourists and fishermen. They are on file in public libraries as part of their reference records. Other portions of the western country have been similarly taken up and maps of a most complete character made for them; in fact, the western lines are fully alive to the value of a good map in the hands of the traveler. The map publishing business of the large railway systems is to-day reduced to scientific principles and handled in a most systematic manner. The North-Western Line prints thousands of maps, running all the way from large wall maps of the world, down to the smallest details of sections and quarter sections of Government land open for settlement in the west, and from an atlas containing a series of maps of the seat of war in the far east to the most carefully worked out portrayal of Colorado's mountain regions, California's winter resorts, or the summering places that abound along the line throughout the west and northwest."
