WOMAN'S SHOCKING SUICIDE. Throws Herself Under Train in Pres- : ence of New York Crowd. New York, Sept. 30.—1 n the pres- | ence of a crowd of women shoppers waiting for an up-town train at the Fourteenth street station of the Sixth avenue elevated railroad, a well dressed woman of 26 threw herself in front of a moving train Monday and was so terribly injured that she died a few moments later. The tragic act created almost a panic on the crowded platform. Women ran shrieking toward the exits leading to the street and half a dozen of them fell in a | faint. ‘While the woman’s mangled body was still lying on the tracks a priest knelt by it and administered the last rites of the church while hundreds of persons who had poured from the train stood with bared heads. On the woman’s underclothing was the name “Sherwood” written in ink.

* ° i o The Entertainment Course in Our City It has been said that in the last few years fences have gone out of fashion. ‘ : This is an outward and visible sign of tendency of the times: we are doing away with fences in everything, in religion. in politics and in seciety. Think it oyer. A number of influences have been responsible for this change of heart; it is not possible to say that this or that fabtor did italone, only that it helped, but ws must allow a goodly share of the credit to the Lyceum and_Chatauqua movements. It’s platform has been absolutely non-sectarian,non-partisan and.non-classical. The Lyceum audiences have learned to listen to both sides and draw their own conclusions. Do you know that there are ten thousand courses in the United States and Canada and that the attendance aggregates 18,000,000 people in a season; that the greatest orators of the country, the greatest preachers, the greatest musieians appear on these courses constauntly, and that the Lycenm is one of the greatest powers for good in this city and generation; and now a few words about what will appear in the Lyceum course in our town: ! Acting upon the suggestion made on cards filled out at last entertainment the committee selected the following course, which will no doubt meet with your approval. = o First number—The Cratorio Artists. A mixed quartet assisted by Miss Davidson, pianist. Miss Davidson appeared here last year with the Skovgaard company. She was the star of the company and one of the best pianists that ever visited our city. The quartet is made up of prominent golists from the large churches of New York City. Three members of the quartet sing for the Edison Phonograph Co. Miss Hinkle, Mr. Miller and Mr. Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler sings under the name of Jas. E. Harrison. Miss Hinkle sings soprano parts in most of the mixed gquartet records. Mr. Wheeler sings most of the sacred duets with Mr. Anthony. | Second number—Adrian M. Newens, Monologue. The following is part. ‘of an editorial taken from Winona Review: *‘Mr. Newens presented in monologue, ‘A Singular Life”’ that heart story of consecrated duty by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. Mr. Newgns’ delineations were of that rare power found in artistic conception and perfect sompathy with which the parts protrayed. It wasso admirably done that the characters seemed to live and move before one, and the large audience followed the reading with rapt interest and frequent applause. It will rank among the finest efforts of the kind ever heard upon the Winona platform.” : Third- number—Thos. Brooks Fletcher needs no special mention, asall reme'nber his lecture here a couple years ago. - : : Fourth number—The Katharine Ridgway Co. This number was asked for by two-thirds of the prrsons thatifilled out cards at our last entertainment and you will again have the pleasure of the most popular entertainer on the Lyceum platform. ' . Fifth number—The Lyceum Grand Concert Co., which is & strong musical organization. Madame Byron, contralio, is an artist with a reputation ‘aB a solist in Great Britian and America. Mr. Smith is a solist with the . Chicago Symphony orceestra, which speaks for his ability, and the other members come highly recommended. : This is a strong course and merits your support. SBince it is true, that liking good things is a problem of growth, and they must be understood to be appreciated, and with appreciation comes a desire for more of the better sort. Why not make it possible for the people of today and tomorrow to enjoy the best things to do this is by buying season ‘tickets for the entertainment course in our town. Environment helps, so does precept and example. Our course includes the best. : ;

‘Mr. Roosevelt to Mr. Bryan ' Theodore Roosevelt has again descended from the presidency of the United States to become a republican eampaigner. He denounces William Jennings Bryan, abuses the democratic party, and denies that he or Gov. Hughes of New York has ever been influenced by the fact that corporations contributed to their funds for campaign purposes. ; . His manifesto is_too lengthy, too verbose, and too discursive to admit of complete analysis, but there are one or two points which may be mentioned as a general illustration. . Mr. Roosevelt accuses Haskell of Oklahoma of having granted illegal privileges to the Prairie Oil and Gas company, which is part of the Standard Oil. The Journal is not defending Mr. Haskell. He proposes to do that himself. But in all fairness it ought to be known that the records of the deparvment of the interior at Washington show the Oklahoma franchise of the Prairie company to have been granted by Ethan Allen Hitcheock, then secretary of the interior, under explicit - ipstructions from Mr. Roosevelt himself. Secretary Hitchcock at first refused to grant this franchise. ExSenator Jamas K. Jones of Arkansas and his client, Mr. Barnesdall of. Pittsburg, saw Mr. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. Still no action. State Senator Franchot of New York and Chauncey M. Depew, who is United States Senator for Standard Oil and Vanderbilt interests, then took up ‘the matter. Harry S. New of Indiana, chairman of the republican national committee, was also interestadh s : : . |

After several conferences . Mr. Roosevelt sent for Secretary Hitch- I cock and peremiptorily ordered him to grant the franchise. The latest white house fulmination is lacking. in that it offers no explanation of this presidential action. It seems hardly fair to unload the whole Standard Oil company on Mr. Haskell, for the records at Washington bear out his statement, that, as late as last April, Secretary Garfield? presumably also acting under direction of his superior officer and fel-low-tennis player; gave the Prairie il concern a premit to lay pipe lines. in Oklahoma, overruling the Ha.s-] kell protest, on the ground of federal authority in Indiana reservations. Another case mentioned by Mr;;‘ Roosevelt is the case against the Northern Securities company. This celebrated suit was begun at the instance of President Roosevelt to enjoin the Great Northern Pacific, and Chicago, Burlington & «Quiney railroad from combing by depositing their respective stock with the Northern Securities company agreed rates in exéhange for stock of« the Securities company. In the earlyspring of 1604 the Sapromme courtof the Uaited

VOL. 43--NO. 28 -

States decided that the Northern Securities company was a violation ‘of the Sherman law. : ~ Since then Mr. Roosevelt has taken’ credit to himself for this great vietory. But the Northern Securities company 18 still doing business without interference. L . The Roosevelt manifesto even refers to the fine of $29,000.000 imposed by Judge Landis on Standard Oil. It does not explain why the fine has never been paid and never will be. Nor does it explain why the government didn’t resort to the very simple plan of removing the 100 per cent. tariff protection enjoyed by the oil trust, instead of suing for damages it knew were unrecoverable. Altogether it would seem as if the latest broadside against Bryan and democracy might be received with unmixed joy by, the gentlemen who . are trying to elect Judge Taft, while democratic spesakers will welcome it for the new texts 1t furnishes against the Roosevelt administration.—Chicago Journal. . : Need Assistance :

_There seems to be apprehension of the complete eclipse or serious obseuration of Mr. Taft by the President.. Already there are thogse whe see only a fight between Theodore Roosevelt and William J. Bryan, Mack, the chairman of the Demoeratic national committee, is not far wrong when he says: v It looks-to me as if Taft and Hitchcock are both out. Rooseveit seems to have superseded both of them. He is even the custodian of Mr. Tafv’s private correspondence. : If the President of the United States takes the unheard-of step of actually going on the stump for his party’s candidate he will confess that that candidate is in serious straits. But all this is mere politics. There is another side of the question that is muchmore important. Every one knows that Mr. Roosevelt is no respector of precedent. Yet we believe that the people of the country have a feeling that there is a dignity to the great offiice of President that ought to be maintained. We can - see what is likely to become of it ifs the President merely persists in his : present course. Already, by virtue of his latest outgivings and of the : answers hereto from Mr. Bryan'and Mr, Mack, the President is involved 1n & question of veracity. - Mr. Bryan bhas put forth a challenge which to make the issue not simply between him and Theodore Roosevelt, but between him and the President of the United States. We are likely e SRR AN L
