A Poor woman's Desperate Deed.

CHICAGO, ILL, September 1O-Mls.
Frank Confer, a widow, % years cd,
made desperate and perhaps success
ful attempt this afternoon to end the
lives OF her two children end herself.
Since the woman's hpsb nd died,
about year ago, she has had several
fits OF melancholy. Strange noiees in
her apsrtne todsy caused neigh.
bois to break ip Mrs. Confer was
found lying on a bed, aud cisped
in her arms were her children, aged
2 yeas and months respec-
lively. Upon the 6ocr was an empty
bottle marked corrosive sublimaie.
Mrs. Confer waI conscious, but rvs
,ericalIy resisted any st'empt to rave
her fife. Toe two babes were in a
stupor. Their mother was room a
corpse. Tonight at the hosrital the
il tie ones were still alive, and it W s
thought had chance to recover. The
mother has been out of money tor
some time and seemed to have had no
fiiends.

ENaLAND,s TROUBLES.

England's troubles with Ireland

active decoits keep the whole country

A QUEER CASE.
Defrauded Out of Money 10 Search
for Hidden Treasure.

New ORLEANS, La, September TO-
DR.. Geo. j. Adams, Ct Massachusetts,
WIS arr.s cd here today, charged with
embtzz ment by number of persous
whom he defrsuded out of money to
search for hidden treasure. Adams
Claims to have been q practicing
phytic an In Masss chusetts when the
war broke out. He sht udered a
musket and joined Company A, Sev-
enleenth Massachusetts Volunteers.
A portion of the command came with
Butler to New Orleans. In foraging
expe dition, three soldiers of the
rg,ment entered dwelling on
the Magnolia P antaton, twenty
miles above New Orleans, on the
right bank of the river, and carried
off some $4,000 in gold snd silver,
$500 of it in silver half dollars, $1,000
in dollars and the remainder in gold.
Being afraid to enter the city with so
much money, on reaching a peCau
grove, about half a mile from the
locks at the canal opposite Green
vile, they selected tres promir ent
for its So, and some peculiarlties
abtu its appearance which made it
conspicuous. At the foot Of this tree
they buried the money aDd then took
bearings, one OF the party being civil
engineer. Each of the three men were
furnished with copy of this end the
marsuders returned to New Orleans
intending to return sit.r the wsr
and recover the money. His two
companions were killed and Adams
desperately wounded soon after.
Adams was KIN TO No IT,

his treasure. He found, to his d s.
may, that all the older pecan trees had
been cut down and only the young
ones left, and was, consequently, una.
bic 10 recognize the tree under which
the treasure was buried. He devoted
himself, however, for three weeks, to
delving for it. A few weeks ago he
t1ok several other parties into part
uership with him, who advanced a
better ouifit'for survs ying the land aud
digging for the money, but, as he has
unearthed no treasure, his part lers

MOVING is NOT REMOVING,

A great many years ago scheme
was proposed, not TO reduce the amount
ottaxation, butto remove the tax on Ger
tain articles and place it upon others.
A caricature appeared on the subje
which represented poor, wearied out
fellow with heavy burden upon his
back, which tie government admins
tratiun was busily engaged in moving
go as to rest upon his shoulders, saJ-
ing IS they did 60; "Have 1t any
where you please, but you must carry
it," This is how the silver men serve
the country. First there must be sill
yer dollars, because the people were
crying far "the dollar of our fathers"
But so far from crying for the dollar
Jumps of metal, the people called them
"pot lids" And would take no more oil
them than they could help. Then the
metal burden was changed to the form
OF silver ceriifcatee, and as they were
noteagerly gorged, email notes in circu-
lation we're called in to force the circu.
laion Of the dollsrs. The dollars will
not circulate, however, and now small
noIs are to be restored, but they ara
to be silver certificates. Anywhere or
in auy form you please, but silver dol
lars in Disguise or out OF disguise you
must carry" The email silver certi6.
Gates, 81, So and So, the Treasury ia
nearly ready to issue in exchange for
silver dollars deposited FIR them.
These certificates will be convenient
and save pocket material by re-
lieving the people OF the misery of lug
cling heavy spot lids" about their per-
sons, but the certificates will be worth
no more than the silver they repre-
sent, and when that goes down to the
bullion value will be worth II or "
cents Oh the dollar, AS long as we
mint 1914, 0Oo, 900 worth OF silver every
year into dollars, the certificates will
leave the silver trouble just where it
is, and the more notes, put out the
more notes, or silver dollars, will
g'avi ate back to the Treasury. II
thtse certifc stes do not relieve the
burden Of retaining tons upon tons OF
silver dollars in the Treasury, ingenuity
will no doubt invent some other
scheme for forcing the silver dollar
upon the people; the shape of the
burden may be changed, but the
poor, wearied public must not be al
lowed to leave Off carrying it.

Brentano that she would return to her
fathers home if she could, and as
often BreDtano repeated what she said
10 Mr.. Morosini. The old gentleman
was cold at first, although he
soon got into the habit
OF walking up to Brentano's shop
every day from his Office. He finally
thswed little and said that he might
forgive his daughter were it rot for
certain statements ABOUT him with
which she was accredited in the news
papers. Mr.. Brentauo learned from
Mrs. Schilling that she had never ut
tered those statements and that she
defied anyone to fix them on her. He
convinced Mr.. Morosini that they were
false. The father, thswirg still more,
although he never preached the sub.
ject first, said to Mr. Brentano that he
would never see his daughter want if
she showed repentant spirit.
Mrs. Schillipg took the hint. She
also took that 6 80 O'Clock pm. train
on the New York Central that did not
carry her to Canadian convent, but
to some remote and isolated spot
where some of her relatives
does not know the degree OF consan-
guinity-reside. Mr.. Moroaini s.

INGIsM,

The leaders Of the Republican party
see that every issue on which the
party was originally founded and on
which it triumphed has been settled.
They have also discovered that a
patty cannot live on its past record /;
that il does not deserve to live unless
ii keeps abreast Of the progressive
spirit OF the age; and Of late the Re-
publican leaders have been hunting
for something to take the place OF war
Issues. Blaine is trying TO make the
tariff question the sole issue in the
next Presidential election. Blair
proposes the Blair bill and prohibition
as the signs by which the Republicans
can conquer in the next Presidential
contest, and in California the Repub.
licans have planted themselves on the
old Knownothing platform. A week
ago the Republicans. held a Safe
Convention at Los Angeles and
nominated candidates for Gov.
ernor, Judges and ether Offices,
and in every part OF the
State the Republicans proclaim !;
"We've got an American ticket at
last. There isn't an Irishman, Jew
or a German on the ticket We had a
pretty hard time putting the kibosh
on that Dutchman We'll bat we got
there Just the came" The convention
made clean sweep Of every man born
under foreign tkies. There would be
no significance to the nomination Of a
ticket composed OF all Americans but
for the fact that the Republicans have
boosted that "America is for
Americans" and that foreigners
were defeated solely because they
were foreigners. The Republican
party was the outgrowth OF
Knownothing principles. 1t had Its
birth in fauaticism as intense and un.
reasonable as the prejudices which
eliminated in the Native American
party. Out OF the fragments Of that
dissolviDg bigotry and intolerance
sprang the organization which in Cali
fornia boasts that it hos neither
~'I,ishmep, Jew nor German on its
ticket" Like its predecessor, 1t mingles
religious intolerance with race an.
tIpathies and challenges the vote Of
the people OF California for an exclus.
lively American ticket. In this con-
try men should be elected to Office be-
case they are qualified Americans 1t
must be confessed that in every cleo
ton there Is too much talk about the
necessity OF nominating men to catch
the Irish vote, the German vote, the
Jewish vote, the Italian vote and the
negro vote, and too little inquiry about
the American vote when all are Amer
leans. 1t does not comport with the
genius OF our institutions to urge the
election OF foreigners to Office because
they are foreigners. But now that the
Republicans have revived Kuownoth-
ingism and oppose the election OF for
eigners to Office for the sole reason
that they are foreigners, the Demo
cratic party viii again insciibeon it's
banner, "Civil and Religious Liberty"
AMI see TO 1t that no man shall be de-
MED his rights as an American citizen
ON account OF his religion or his birth.
