AN AIXEOED INSULT IN LOGAN CARLISLE'S LETTER.

"Fighting Joe" Is Expected to Kesent It In Aeeerdauca VTlth U« Koatscky C*d« ffh»t Young Mr. Carlise Said.

Philadelphia, Oct. B.—The Record's Washington special says: Everybody in Washington who knows Senator "Joe" Blackburn and the quality of his Kentucky blood is wondering whether he will challenge Logan Carlisle, the son of the secretary of the treasury, to a duel. According to the accepted Southern code, there has been ample provocation, and the Southerners at the capital are unanimous in the belief that trouble will follow.

LiOgan Carlisle wrote the following letter, which is the alleged insult: "I have received a letter signed by ohe Mortimer A. Dowling, secretary, challenging me, on behalf of the district branch of the Lakeland Club, to show, in joint debate with one L. C. Moore, formerly a laborer in the treasury department, wherein my Democracy differs from the faith of this colored man. "I am not sure that this is not merely one of the numerous Popocratic forgeries that are now floating about. But, assuming it to be genuine, I must in view of the peculiar management of the Popocratic crusade, take this challenge as a great compliment. The Lakeland Club places upon me a higher estimate than is placed upon my father by the Popocratic fusion organization in Kentucky when the latter challenges him to a joint debate with 'Joe' Blackburn, and, as each organization has selected its ablest and foremost champions of Popocracy to represent it in debate, the courtesy of the challenge is duly appreciated."

The explanation of this matter Is that a few weeks ago, when Logan Carlisle, who Is chief clerk of the treasury department, publicly declared himself to be opposed to the election of Bryan and Sewall because of •the free silver plank of the Chicago platform, the colored messenger in the department, Moore, felt called upon to resign, as he did not deem it official etiquette to be a free silver messenger under a sound money chief clerk.

Mooro thereupon became a free silver campaign orator, aud has figured prominently in the quixotic campaign of the nonvoting District of Columb a Democrats.

The rellection upon Senator Blackburn contained in Logan Carlisle's letter, wherein he intimated that the Kentucky campaign committee presented a less creditable opponent to Secretary Carlisle in Blackburn than the Lakeland Club did to his son, in the negro, is regarded as an insult that Blackburn is not expected to ignore.

A political, personal and family feud between the Carlisles and the Blackburns has grown out of the fight over Blackburn's re-election to the senate, in which he was opposed by all the power at the nommand of the Carlisle-Cleveland administration.

The animosities of the fight were Increased by the removal of Blackburn's son-in-law, Lane, a bureau chief in the treasury, for alleged absence from duty and participation in the senatorial fight in Blackburn's behalf. The members of both families have been bitter in their denunciation tf one another, and the feud has grown in Intensity from day to day.

THORP'S 'SPIRIT BRIDE."

The Wedding Occurred Forty Years After Her Death. Chicago, Oct. 5.—A special to the Tribune [rom Cincinnati says: Charles Thorp, age 65, a wealthy gentleman of Birmingham, England, has been married to the sweetheart of his youth, who had been separated from him by death for over forty years. The wedding occurred at a private residence in Seventh street and was witnessed by a number of highly respectable and intelligent people, some of whom are well known to society, and who are willing to vouch for the occurrence. Among those present were Qr. Slosson and wife of this city, who were invited there by a medium, who claims she is gifted with the power of materializing spirits.

In speaking of the occurrcnce, the doctor aud Mrs. Slosson said that it was the most remarkable demonstration they had ever witnessed. They also said they were fully convinced that no fraud or deception had been practiced.

While the medium was visiting the largo cities of the country, propounding the doctrines of spiritualism and giving exhibitions of spiritualistic manifestations, she met Mr. Thorp at Omaha. He called upon her at the hotel, and in the course of conversation stated that while ayoufig man living in England he was engaged to marry a woman who had died before the date set for the wedding, and it was his ardent desire to converse with her. The medium granted him a sitting. Mr. Thorp afterward, in Bpeaking of the occurrence, said he met his sweetheart in the form of a materialized spirit.

About a dozen sittings were had in different towns. At Chicago, Mr. Thorp consulted the medium aud, after telling her that he had gained the consent of his former sweetheart, he requested that a marriage ceremony be performed. This being a new departure in spiritualism, the medium doubted that the arrangements proposed by Mr. Thorp could be carried out.

She, howover, expresesd a willingness to further lest her powers as a medium, so Bhe granted Mr. Thorp a trial, setting the place for the wedding in this city.

On the afternoon preceding the event Mr. Thorp arrived in Cincinnati, and after consulting with the medium, went to a florist and ordered an abundance of flowers to adorn the room in which he was to be married. The test was to be made at 9 o'clock in the evening. At S o'clock those who were bidden assembled. There were Uss than a dozen persons present. At 8:30 o'clock Mr. Thorp arrived.

The room was darkened, and not a single ray of light could be seen anywhere. Mr. Thorp was stationed at a point near the cabinet. For some time he sat silently in the darkness and gazed attentively toward the cabinet, expecting some manifestation. At last a sound like the rustling of a curtain was heard. It was the cabinet being opened. Through the aperture came a phosphorescent light, the soft rays faintly illuminating the face and form of Mr. Thorp, and giving him a ghostly appearance. His face was then turned toward the cabinet.

Those who witnessed the strange proceedings were startled upon beholding just to his right the faint outlines of a form which seemed to develop in the soft light until it bore the appearance of a young woman clothed in a robe of spotless white. Her hair was dark, and her face, while it appeared deathlike, wore, a smile of satisfaction. Just in.front of where the two weir standing another form, that of an elderly man, slowly became visible, and it, too, grew plainer as the moments passed, until it resembled the form of one in flesh. This ujj&s the person who tfas to officiate at the

nary Btylfe of Conducting marriages without the ring. At the conclusion of the ceremony the minister raised his hands above the heads of the bride and bridegroom as though pronouncing a benediction on the union. The two materialized forms then slowly vanished away as they had come.

WATSON WILL NOT WITHDRAW.

H« Again Pays Blf BmiwsU to Candidate Arthur Sewall. New York, Oct. 5.-The World prints an, interview with Thomas Watson, the Popu-. list candidate for vice president, which is much in the line of Mr. Watson's recent writings "I'd lay my head on the block before I retire from the race to make way for a plutocrat, a bondholder, a national banker and protectionist like Mr. Sewall," Mr. Watson Is quoted as saying.

The interview continues: "If Mr. Sewall is willing to get off the ticket I believe that even now there is a chance to elect Mr. Bryan," said Mr. Watson. "Mr. Bryan and I could at once make a tour together, and inside of ten days we might restore thousands of votes.'* "How could Mr. Sewall be got oft the ticket?" "It would be easy enough. The Democratic national committee could go to Mr. Sewall and say to him. 'Mr. Sewall, you are a menace to the ticket. Unless you withdraw Mr. Bryan will be defeated. You are endangering his chances.' "There would be nothing for Mr. Sewall to do but resign. If he wishes to see Mr. Bryan elected he will retire now."

Mr. Watson relates that Chairman Butlsr of the Populist committee, asked to see the notes of the first speech he was to deliver, and, coming to the attack on Mr. Sewall, begged him to omit it. Thereupon Mr. Watson threatened to abandon the stump, and Senator Butler relented.

NEW WOMAN'S COMMANDMENTS

MM. Bchueokebler Imposed Them on Her Husband, Who Gets a Divorce. Chicago, Oct. 6.—Judge Haney granted a decree of divorce to William Schneckebier, on the strength of the following commandments which his wife TiJlie insisted he should obey: "These are the new Commandments Ten

Which.wives now make for unmarried men One—Remember that I am thy wife. That thou must cherish all thy life. Two—Thou shalt not Btay out late at night When lodges, friends or clubs invite. Three—Thou shalt not smoke indoor or out, Or chew tobacco 'round about Fourth—Thou shalt with praise receive my pies, Nor pastry made by me despise. Five—My mother thou shalt strive to please And let her live with us in ease. Six—Remember, 'tis thy duty clear To dress well throughout the year. Seven—Thou shalt, in manner mild and meek, Give me thy wages every week. Eight—Thou shalt not be a drinking man, But live on Prohibition plan. Nine—Thou shalt not flirt, but must allow Thy wife such freedom anyhow. Ten—Thou shalt set up when baby cries, And try thy child to tranquillize, These my commandments from day to day Implicitly thou shalt obey." Schncckebier told the court that his wife was lij correspondence with several men, and that when he remonstrated with her she produced these commandments and said: "That is the way we treat men."

The Pace That Kills.

New York, Oct, 6.—Albert Weber, the one-time millionaire and man about town, was taken to Waldmere, a private retreat, at Mamaroneck, on Saturday. He is believed to be hopelessly insane. He was raving then, imagining that he was playing roulette and winning a lot of money. Dr. H. V. Wildman and Dr. George W. Kunz, commissioners in lunacy, had a long talk with the patient, and then pronounced him insane. "It is too soon," said Dr. Williams, "to say what Mr. Weber's malady is. He imgines himself able to make a million a month, and he has ideas of his own grandeur, both symptoms of paresis."

Albert Weber, at 20, fell heir to the splendid piano business of his father and $1,000,000 in money. It was his ruin. He plunged into the wildest sort of dissipation. He married Miss Clowes, the daughter of Dr. J. W. Clowes. In less than two years she was forced to get a divorce. Soon he was married to Irene Perry, an actress. She got a divorce in 1895.

Weber was seen every where'in the Tenderloin after his first divorce. He spent sometimes thousands in a single night. Then the piano concern failed. They took him to his mother's country place at Rye for a change of sccne, but it was too late. He collapsed Thursday.

Monny mid Manons.

Masons in Now York have a very rtronj? trades-union. It has seldom had to go into strikes. Its men have had little idle time and few losses of wages. They get $4 a day for eight hours' work.

Free silver would be hard on th-2 masons. First—It would reduce work. Men with money to invest would fear to Invest it in any new houses. There would be less woik. With less work some men would be thrown out. Some thrown out would try to get work at lower wages. Less work means the same pay to less men or less pay to the same men.

Second—It would increase prices. The $4 for a day's work would buy Ipsa. Those who had been saving mon?.v would find at the week's end that they had no money left to save.

Third—Any rise in wages would lag behind the rise in prices. In "cheap money" times wages never rise as quickly or as high as prices. Wages would fall rather than rise. And any rise in so-called "dollars" would not even up the price o£ food, rent and clothes.

What is true of the masons would be true of all housebuilding trades. Free silver would lessen work and would not raise wages to keep pace with the rise in prices.—New York 'World.

W. R. McKeon's Name KoundlV Cheered. On last Saturday night, although but four day's notice was given, a large crowd came out to hear the Hon. Robert H. Catlin of Terre Haute, on the political issues of the day. The speech was made against a strong and cool north wind, but it was well received by the people as was shown by the frequent rounds of applause. This was particularly noticeable at the mention of the Hon. William McKinley and the Hon. W. R. McKeen of Terre Haute. At the closs of his speech Mr. Catlin delivered a short peroration on the distinguished citizen of his city, the Hon. W. R. McKeen, who is a candidate for United States senator. The people showed that they were acquainted with him, at least by reputation, by breaking out into rounds of applause at every reference to the distinguished citizen.— Huntingburg Argus.

On Saturday Smith and Miss Ucss disappeared and all trace of them has been lost. It has been ascertained that they took a car for Canton and from there went East, possibly to Buffalo. They have been engaged for some time, but objections were raised to tbe match.

A POPULIST LEADER GROSSLY MALIGNED BY TBE SENTINEL.

An Entbnslastio Republican Ball/ Was Held on Saturday at Plymouth—

Monnt't Big Plymouth Meeting. Plymouth, Ind., Oct. 4.—The Hon. James A. Mount addressed one of the largest political meetings ever held in this county at the courtyard, in Plymouth, Saturday. The speaker was introduced by the Hon. H. G. Thayer, and for two hours he held his audience of more than 5,000.

There was no attempt at a rally. The farmers and workingmen came to town in wagons and on trains from every direction, and Mr. Mount declared that it was one of the largest, most orderly and attentiyp crowds he ever addressed. Mr. Mount's speech is universally conceded one of the best ev^r delivered here. He proved coaclusively from government statistics that the repeal of the McKinley law destroyed our foreign market, stopped our manufactories, deprived our laborers of employment, reduced the sales of all farm products, and almost brought ruin to the country. He Showed that the Republican party had always been the friend of silver, and that it is the Democratic party that seeks to dishonor silver by bringing United States dollars to a level with those of Mexico and Peru. It was a great day for the Republicans of Marshall county. They are gaining ground every day, and will give McKinley and Mount a majority. The Hon. C. F. Remy, candidate for reporter of the Supreme Court, addressed a large audience ih the evening at the McKinley club room.

CYCLING ROAD ETIQUETTE.

When to Pass to the Right, When to the Left and Other Points. In a general way It may be said that the etiquette of the road in cycling is the same as the etiquette of the road in driving, skating or walking, and that this etiquette is simply the following out of certain, for the most part, unwritten rules which have.,come to be adopted by civilized people everywhere as being the most convenient, simple and sensible to govern them in their highway passing or intercourse. It is not to be expected that the man or the woman who is ignorant of the refinements of life, of cultivation and education, or who, knowing these, willfully neglects or breaks the ordinary rules of politeness, will obey what may be called the etiquette, of the road simply because he or she may be a cyclist. Bad manners, or rather the want of manners, becomes discernible upon the road even more quickly than in the drawing room, and rude and unpolished people will ride the wheel just as they Willi drive and ride horse or travel in public conveyances* says a writer in Harper's Weekly. The unrefined but appropriate epithet of "road hog," which has now become a part of the vernacular in the United States, and which Is applied to the individual who monopolizes the road and refuses even to turn a little from his course to allow other drivers, or particularly cyclists, to pass him, whether going in the same direction or the opposite direction, represents unfoitunatcly too large a class who use the public streets and roads of America, and who are not atflenable to any rules of etiquette, or even to the dictates of ordinary civility.

Tlie etiquette of the roarl, from the cyclist's standpoint, is in general simply the ordinary rules which law or custom has ordained for the government of users of the highways, supplemented by those un.written rules and customs which refinement and civility dictate, and which cannot always be tabulated, as many of them are spontaneous aud arise ftorn the necessities of the moment.

Under the first head of cycling road etiquette comes such cardinal rules* as turning to the right when meeting any vehicle or pedestrian comiug from the opposite direction, passing any vehicle or pedestrian goiug iu the same direction always to the left, and signalling when making a sudden turn or change of direction. There are minor rules connrc ed with these three important ones, but the cyclist who observes the three great cardinal ones can hardly go wrong. More accidents to cyclists, and to pedestrians in particular, have occur ed from a violation of cne or all of these three rules thau in any other way. It is sometimes so easy to forget or neglect to observe any of the three when this neglect means a short cut, a saving of time or a chance' to show off one's sXlll in the management of the whesl, that many a cyclist Is guilty of a breach of eti^ustte as regards these rules who would be horrified were he or she accused of bad manners or lack of civility. The know'elge, with the increasing use of the wheel, that those who incur accidents or are responsible for accidents to others from the breakage of or failure to carry out these rules, can be held responsible for damages In the second place, and cannot recovcr them in the first, should bo impressed in some way up an the cyclists of the country, and in this way a reform can probably be effected.

The minor or unwritten rules of cycling road etiquette have to deal more with the social side of the sport. Should wheelmen and women who are strangers salute each other in passing, especially when they so pass on country roaOs? Does the fact, that a man and woman are cyclists allow the man to tender assistance to the woman if her'wheel has gone wrong in any way?- How should men and women dress when wheeling? All these and a hundrei other questions which are daily answering themselves, ur are being answered by the cyclists of the country, c^nst'tute when solved by the larger number of men acd wemen cyclists, the etiquette of the read. Cycling Is as yet too young a sport to have fully established an etiquette and there are situations which almost daily confront the cyclist, experienced as he or she may be In the refinements which govern the intercourse of cultivated DeoDle. wliie hare puszlinc ones to

Tipton, Ind., Oct. 3.—In the desperated forts of the Indianapolis Sentinel to cast odium on all Populists and to make it appear that they are all subject to bargain and sale, an alleged conversation, claimed to have been held on a street oar en route to Irvlngton,. was published in last Friday's Sentinel casting reflection on Alonzo G. Burkhart, a prominent Populist farmer residing a few miles from this city. Mr. Burkhart is a member of the PopullBt state central committee, and is also a member of the committee of thirteen appointed to treat with the Popocrats on the question of fusion. The Sentinel's story was to tlie effect that Mr. Burkhart had been approached by a Republican and was offered $2,000 if he would use his influence to prevent fusion between the Populists and Popocrats on the Indiana electoral ticket. Last night Mr. •Burkhart made a speech in this city, in which he made the public declaration that at no time and under no circumstances was he approached by any one who offered money, directly or indirectly, and that the story was all made up. He is most indignant over the false publication. The Populists in this county are opposed to fusion.

far

easier to compile

the etiquette of the road from the negative than from the positive standpoint, and unfortunately the cycling crass affords every day on our street* and highways too many evidences or examples of bad manners and inappropriate dress, which would enable the observant man or woman to treat tbe whole subject comparatively easy under the heading of "Don't*." The men or women of natural or acquired refinement, who know how to conduct themselves in the parlor, dining room and in other departments of life, are not likely,to misbehave 'on the wheel and those who are sincerely desirous of knowing what is tKe proper thing to do should study the mariner* and procedure of the most refined person of their acquaintance when on the wheel.

It is recognized as befittlflg a gentleman to offer his services in repairing a punctured tite, adjusting a nut, or arranging something that has gone astray with the woman's wheel, and it is not considered improper for a woman to accept his politely proffered services for the mending of a wheel, which he can do better than herself. Of course, in town, where there are repair shops on nearly every block, a woman will go to one at once. In all respects the etiquette of the road is the same between men and women driving or riding or walking. There is no more reason for a man cyclist touching his hat to a passing woman cyclist with whom he Is not acquainted than for a man driving or riding or walking to salute a woman he meets driving or riding or walking. Different situations do not alter the laws of good manners. A woman should always have the right of way. The question of costume has been settled in one way, in that the hideous and unsexlng bloomers and knickerbockers worn by some women in the early days of the wheel craze has pretty well disappeared, to be superseded by the becoming and womanly short skirts just touching the ankles, with gaiters (not leggings), while knickerbockers and stockings with rolled tops have In men's costumes entirely dofle away with the unsightly long trousers held In at the bottom by clips.

The cycling etiquette of the road, however, must be founded upon the great unwritten laws which govern the Intercourse of refined and cultivated petp'e everywhere, and which enable the world to move forard as it were upon "ball-bearings."

D'ARTAGNAN IN SAN PRANCISCO

Yottng French Engineer Has .Been Mining In tlie West. Baron de Batz of France, a member of the family of D'Artagnan, about whose adventures Dumas Wove the story of the "Three Guardsmen," ha3 arrived in the city, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The baron Is comparatively a young man, and is at the Palace Hotel, enfdtite from Siberia to St Petersburg. He is a mining englner by profession and is on his way to report to a large Russian company on its mining property in the province of Amoor.

When Mr. De Batz was asked at the Palace if he were not a member of the family one of whose members had been made immortal in literature, the friend of Athos, Porthos and Aramis, he admitted the fact, but expressed surprise that It should be known. "We are of the same family," he replied. "D'Artagnan was a younger son of the Baron de Batz of the time of Richelieu, and took the name of his mother. He had a son, but his posterity has long been extinct. Dumas obtained his idea of the 'Three Guardsmen' from reading the memoirB of D'Artagnan, which was published in Holland. 1 have had a copy in my hands, but I assure you they were not as interesting as the romance which sprang from them. I suppose you may call me a Gascon, as, though I was not born in the provinoes, owing to my father being a military man and stationed elsewhere with his family at the time, he was. My father's birthplace was at Mirepoix, near Auch, in the present department of Gers and the former province of Gascony. While in the 'Three Guardemen' Dumas has given liberty to his Imagination, the statement regarding the present to D'Artagnan of his sorry appearing steed is true."

Baron de Batz obtained his practical mining experience in Montana, where he resided for four years. He has also visited Idah6, Utah and Nevada, but this is his first trip to California. He says the gold mines of the Amoor were discovered about five years ago. Since tiien three large companies and two small ones have been at work. The mining is placer in character and is done in a slow way. Only Russians are allowed to mine in the Amoor province, but there is talk of changing the law, as the mistake of the restriction has become apparent. Owing to the extreme cold work can be carried on only' from about the middle of May to September. Baron de Batz says that some large profits have been made during the last three years, but if the mines belonged to Americans or English people they would be worth much more.

PRINCETON'S CHANGES.

Several New Instructors Appointed In Various Departments. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 5 —Several important changes have been made in the faculty and the curriculum this year.

How Selene* Sends Sunshine Into the Dark "Spots of tit* Worli-Dy»wM» /«rn Derangements Have Lo»t 'v t( •y'* Their Terrors. 'h-"

The chronic dyspeptic or sufferer from weak nerves and debility is not a desirable companion. He cannot well be, seeing that he is habitually encompassed by a cloud of gloom.* His lot is an unhappy one, for dyspepsia and weak nerves are Joy-killing afflictions. They transform the naturally cheerful and kindly individual into the sour and crabbed cynic, and change the bright and vivacious apostle of light and sunshine into the dark foreboder and gloomy misanthrope. It is slow death, a killing process long drawn out. It is a breeder of selfishness, a cause of discord, arock on which many agallanb matrimonial bark has been wrecked, and an everlasting woe to the victim. Bays of protracted misery, nights filled

with dreams whose visions outvie in fearfulness the pictures of Dante's Inferno are the experiences of the dyspeptic and nerve weakened. Joy is extinguished and hope is almost dead. It is truly a pitiable condition, a deplorable condition, but let us be thankful it is by no means a hopeless one.

Dr. Greene, whose name stands high in the medical world, is the discoverer of the most potent blood and nervo remedy the world has ever known, Dr. Greene's Nervura, which has been a blessing to thousands, and which is every day working w&iracles among the suffering.

Dr. Greene's

Nervura blood and nerve remedy cures perfectly and completely, all inldigestion, and dyspepsia, makes the weak, relaxed and unstrung nerves as strong as steel, gives natural refreshing sleep from which one wakes mornings feeling strong, vigorous and energetic. It

banishes the pain and

lameness of rheumatism, cures the aching head and dispels the agony of neuralgia &s if by magic. It makes the weak strong, overcomes the tired feeling so many "have, dispels the blues," and gives that vim, snap and energy which alone adds zest to living.

Dr. Greene's Nervura is not a patent medicine but the prescription and discovery of a noted physician, and this grand medicine is endorsed and recommended by the best doctors everywhere. Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York Citys its discoverer, is the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, and can be consulted without charge, in person or by letter.

NOT PERSONAL ENEMIES.

Relations of Messrs. Cockran and Bryn In the Hons*. Indianapolis, Oct. 5.—The effect of the Cockran meeting was much discussed by politcians Sunday, and both Democrats and Republicans agreed that no stronger or more effective plea for sound money had been made during this campaign. After returning from church Sunday morning Mr. Cockran held a sort of levee at the Denlson, a large number of men of both parties calling to pay their respects and congratulate him upon his great speech. While he was talking Saturday evening one of the Popocrats in the audience remarked to the man next to him that Cockran was in the campaign against Bryan because they had been personal enemies in the house. This remark was repeated to Mr. Cockran, and he replied: "1 am on excellent terms with Mr. Bryan. I went Into his car a few days ago to see him. We sat in the same part of the hall, and when I was advocating the repal of the Sherman bill Mr. Bryan questioned a statement, not as a fact, but because it was novel. I said that the bankers would make money by the change to a silver basis, because they are the largest debtors in the country—debtors because they held the deposits of the people and could pay back the equivalent of gold received as deposits in depreciated silver. Mr. Bryan asked mo why, if this was the case, they opposed the free coinage of silver. I replied that while not better than other men, bankers generally had learned that honesty is the best policy. This was followed by a friendly passage about the ethics of the question. An unkind word never passed between us."

ROUTED BY A PHONOGRAPH.

Bryan Cheers and Speeches Break a HI.'KImIOJ* KIII I V. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 3.—At West Superior, Wis., last night a meeting of the Protective Tariff Club, composed largely of Norwegians, had just been called to order and John J. Wergstron, a Norwegian politician of Chicago, had arranged his notes preparatory to making the speech, of the evening, when a thin voice from an undiscoverable corner of the room called out, not very loudly, but clearly and distinctly: "What's the matter with Bryan? He's all right. Three cheers for Bryan. Hip, hip, hurrah!"

Then the necks of those In the audience were twisted in all kinds of shapes in an endeavor to locate the disturbance and the chairman rapped loudly for order and called to a club member to go after a policeman.

Just then the unknown voice shifted to a song and rattled ofT the words of "Yankee Doodle" with surprising rapidfty, while cries of "Put him out!" "Kill him!","Throw him out of the window!" "Mob him!" arose in all parts of the hall, and self-appointed sergeants at arms rushed about through the audience trying to locate the singing voice, which continued at a furious rate. Finally

Quiet was restored and tbe chairman asked the pardon of the Chicago speaker for what had occurred and cautioned the unknown disturber that he would better withdraw to avoid being thrown out. He waited a moment to see if the disturber would withdraw, and motioned for the speaker to prosified.

Werkstron was in the midst of an anal* ysis of the political platforms when the voice broke loose again, first announcing in clear, shrill tones, the speech of William J. Bryan before the Chicago convention, and then sailing into it regardless of the oppo* sit ton speech from the platform.

This time everyone was wild. The speaker settled down In his chair, the audience resumed its search for the disturber, and the chairman rushed from the building without his hat afid returned in five minutes with a policeman. When the officer arrived tbe voice had stopped, but the audience was still In an uproar, and the sergeants were still looking for the unknown man with the talkative nature.

The officer promised to preserve order and the speaker started again and was well under way and warming up to the subject, when the mysterious voice commenced delivering a speech made before a political gathering at Philadelphia In favor of Bryan. The policeman rushed through tho audience, brandishing his club. The wouldbe speaker went to the hat-rack, and, seizing his hat and overcoat, pushed through tbe crowd to the door and the meeting broke up In confusion.

After the crowd had disappeared two young men ascended from the attic above, one carrying a phonograph, the other along tubed horn. They had so arranged things that the big horn attached to the phonograph rested on the floor, big end down, directly over a ventilator In the ceiling of the hall in which the meeting was held.

DEPEW'S LOVELY WARD.

Whitney's marriage to tbe charming Widow Randolph, after repeated and vigorous denials of their engagement, comes a revival of the rumor of tho engagement of that most interesting of widowers, Chauncey Mitchell Depew, to Miss Edith Collins, his ward In chancery. Rumor says the wedding is to take place in Octobcr, and the story is widely accepted, says the "New York Journal.

When Mr. Depew's services were needed on this side of the water by Cornelius Vanderbilt to persuade C. Vanderbilt, Jr., not to plunge into the matrimonial whirlpool with Miss Grace Wilson, several years his senior, Mr. Depew.was in Europe traveling, and Miss Collins was his traveling companion. Mr. Depew hurried back In response to the call of duty—and Miss Collins hurried with him.

A few days after young Cornelius and Miss Wilson were married, Miss Collins returned to Europe—and Mr. Depew saw her off. Now the rumor comes from across ths sea Miss Collins has been attending to the purchase and construction of sundry elaborate gowns and millinery which, so Mme. Rumor says, could never be for any other use In this world than that of a bride, and, therefore, it follows, she is to become Mrs, Depew not later than October, for gowns go out of fashion with awful rapidity.

All the world Is a joke to Chauncey De.. pew and when he was ^hown a newspaper clipping containing the rumor of his forthcoming marriage, he looked up and said, as his eyes twinkled: "That's a nice story." "Yes it's a nice story but Is it true?'*

Dr. Depew looked quizzical and remarked: *'Mr. Whitney has married today one of tha handsomest women In America." "Do you think of following the exampls set by Mr. Whitney?"

Mr. Depew laughed, and then, looking out at the threatening clouds, replied: "I think it looks very much as though

if

is going to rain." Mr. Depew fenced all leading questions, and neither denied nor confirmed the report concerning his contemplated marriage with Miss Collins.

Miss Collins is a great-granddaughter of old Commodore Vanderbilt and a distant relative to her jovial guardian. Commodore Vanderbllt's daughter married Prisident Horace F. Clark, of the Union Pacific railway. Their daughter, Lulu Clark, married George Collins and Miss Edith is their child. Then again, her grandmother mar* ried Robert J. Nivens on the death of Mr. Clark. Mr. Depew's first wife was a Misa Hegeman, a cousin of the Nivenses, and that's how Miss Collins and her guardian are related.

Miss Collins is 25 years old, tall and plump, with black hair and brilliant black eyes. She has been Mr. Depew's ward for several years. Mr. Depew's son "Buster" la now 18 years old and Mr. Depew is—but love is always young.

STATE CANDIDATES REBEL.

Insist Populists Mailt Pull Off State Tleket. Indianapolis, Oct. 5.—The candidates on the Popocratic state ticket held a long conference at the state committee rooms Saturday morning. Among those In attendance were B. F. Shively, nomintee for governor S. M. Ralston, for secretary of state Joseph T. Fanning, for auditor, and J. G. McNutt, for attorney general. Tho topic that occupied their attention was the effort to force them into fusion with the Populists on the terms proposed by the latter. The opinion was unanimously against yielding anything further to the Populists, and Chairman Martin will so inform tbe national headquarters, declaring that the Indiana state committee will yield nothing further to the Populists unless their state ticket comes down, and this cannot be. because nobody has any power to pull it down. "Just look What a senseless proposition It Is the national committee Is trying to force upon us'," said one of the candidates after the conference. "Last election the Democrats cast 238,000 votes in Indiana, and the Populists cast not quite 30,000, just about one-eighth as many. Yet they demand onethird of the electors, and they already have four, or a little more than one-third of the congressional nominees, and In the legislative fusions they have all the best of it. Mr. Jones can make up his mind that we shall not budge an Inch from our position."

John Gilbert Shanklin, Indiana member of the national Popocratic committee, arrived too late to attend the conference. "I do not know much about the details of the fusion," said he, "for I left Tuesday before anything bad been accomplished. Personally I am in favor of fusion. Tbe Populists are entitled to a good deal, and though they have already got much, they are entitled to what they have. I hope we shall be able to go ahead with the fusion."

At most of his meetings during the last two or three weeks Mr. Shanklin has been introduced as the probable successor of Voorhees, and his friends have been active in securing pledges for him among the Democratic and Populist fusion nominees for the legislature. When asked about his candidacy yesterday he replied: "I shall come before the legislature only in case Senator Voorhees is not a candidate, which I think will probably be the case. His health, as you know, has been very b*4 and is not improving."
