How IL In Regarded by POiiIiuinns
GGneralIy.

WAsHrNGToN, July l5.-The Presidents
executive order prohibiting political
activity on the part of Federal office hold
ers is variously regarded among the poll
ticiaps Those Democrats who heartily
sustain the Presidents reform ideas ar
prove the order. There are Democrats
who do not hesitate to express their dis
sent, but they are largely in the minority
If public utterances on the subject be u
criterion. The general impression is that
the President is thoroughly in earnest in
what he says, and that If any official
doubts his sincerity he has but TO disre-
gard the order to become satisfied on That
point.
Many Republicans give the President
credit for sincerity, but some of them in
cline to the opinion that the order will, TO
a considerable extent, be untitled, be-
cause high government officials Of the
Democratic persuasion will not care to
sec it enforced. In other words, they do
not believe the order will receive much
support from authority below that of the
executive, and they say that without the
hearty cooperation of heads of bureaus
chief clerks, &C., it can not be well en-
forced

Ohio il about to Try an experiment, the
workings OF which will doubtless be
watched with interest by law makers and
philanthrophihts. Theonce very popular
drama Of "1he Ticket of-Ieaye Man"
made the American public quite familiar
in It's day with the existence in the
Auelralian penal colonies of a system
under which Trustworthy conyicts were
allowed a certain amount of liberty. A
kind of permit was given to such CON
yicta by which they were allowed to go

largely upon these ticket men

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.


Exercises on the Closing Day of an In.
teresting Session.
The Sunday scho j convention which
closed it's labors Friday noon in Meriden was
eminently successful one. Although fol
the first time in the history of these conven.
lions the delegates entertained themselves
the attendance was fully as large, if not larger
than at preceding ones. More than 800 dele
gates were estimated to be present, including
very many of the prominent Sunday school
workers of the State.
The meeting was held in the First Congre.
gational church, which is one of the largest
and most elegant and complete church build
ings in all its appointments in the State
The convention was admirably presided over
by Lieutenant Governor Cooke. State Sec
rotary Hall was very efficient in forwarding
the business. The home speakers were very
practical in their addresses The address on
primary work by Mrs. Lizzie c. Roath of
Lynn, Mass, enlisted the closest attention of
all, and the inimitable address of Mr.. B. F.
Jacobs, of Chicago, was often cheered during
its delivery.
In view of the fact that there are 10000
children in Connecticut who do not attend
any Sunday school, the necessity of earnest
work for the future seemed to pervade all
hearts, and in the selection of the officers for
the ensuing year it was the paramount desire
that those only should be selected vino would
be willing to labor personally and earnestly
in successfully originating and carrying out
such plans as will bring the largest results.
1t was greatly regretted that Hon. James
L. Howard, who has been identified with
Sunday school work for forty five years, and
is admirably fitted for the position, should
decline to act as president. Mr.. Prudden,
who was subsequently elected, is an earnest
worker of many years experience, though
still young man.
The principal address at the closing ses-
sion of the convention was by Rev. j. E.
Twitchell D. D, of New Haven, who made
a very interesting address on THE Review

CAUGHT AFTER FIVE YEARS.
A Murderer Turns Up in Gamblers
Alley and is Captured by the Police.

A Murderer Turns Up in Gamblers
Alley and is Captured by the Police.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-At an early hour this
morning Patrol Sergeant Ripley and Detec-
tive Colett arrested man in Gamblers alley
for whom the police have been looking for
five years. The prisoner is Harry Gilmore,
a confidence operator and three card monte
sharp, who in March, 1880, shot and killed
George Mcbride, a hostler. The murder
was committed in a saloon on Wabash ave.
nue. near Harmon Court kept at that time by
a man named Smell. Gilmore had spe1t the
night gambling with Billy Simpson, the
horse sharp, who is now fugitive from JUS
tice. Mcbride was in Simpsons employ and
during the night had been sent several times
by Mrs. Simpson to bring her husband home.
At o'clock in the morning Mcbride was
again sent on the same errand when Gilmore
ordered him to leave. Mcbride retorted say
ing he would not go without Simpson, where
upon Gilmore picked up a revolver and with
out word coolly shot the hostler dead.
With equal GOODNESS he walked out the rear
door of the saloon and was seen no more, at
least not by the police. He remained con-
cealed in house of ill-fame near by for sew
eral weeks and fed. About two years ago
he was arrested at Portland, Oregon, and pa
pers for his extradition were prepared, but
heRmanaged by technicality to slip through
the meshes of the law. He returned to the
city two days ago trusting to his altered ap-
pearance and the fact that the charge against
him had been stricken from the court rec
ords to escape punishment. When the muir
der was committed Gilmore was fine look
ing man of thirty five with bushy black
beard and luxuriant hair of the same color.
Now his hair and beard are very gray ard
his face has marks that would seem to make
him much older than he really is.

FOR WANT OF FUNDS
The Hospital Authorities Canno
Make NeceSaarY ImprQY emenfa.

The Hospital Authorities Cannot
make Necessary Improvements.
Investigations made by the board of visit
ors of the Connecticut General hospital, in
duced by frequent complaints of defective
service in the culinary department of the in
stitution, have convinced the undersigned,
members of said board, that to correct the
evil complained of some additional facilities
demanded The desired Improvements
which are needed most of all, and needed at
once for the greater comfort of the patients,
are steam boilers for cooking purposes.
In reply to communication addressed by
us to the prudential committee suggesting
such improvements, while they recognized
the wisdom of the suggestion and the press
ing need for additional and improved facili
ties in the department named, they never
theless felt compelled to defer action because
of inability arising from lack of funds.
In view of this fact and being deeply i'm
pressed with the urgent necessity of carrying
into effect the proposed changes, involving
an outlay OF about $500, we respectfully and
unanimously unite in this appeal to the pub
Iic We solicit, therefore, from the chart
tably disposed such contributions in moder-
ate sums as will enable this much needed i'm
provement to be carried out at once and thus
insure greater comfort to the inmates of this
worthy institution.
Contributions may be handed in to the
president of the board, Hon. G. B. Bowers,
at his Office, room No. 9 Phoenix building,
or, when convenient, to any member OF the
board.
Trusting that this appeal may secure the
speedy carrying out of the desired improve
ments, We are,
Very respectfully.

William r. DoWd Fakes a Eose OF
ssRorse MedIctne'' with Suicidal In
tent-He is sent to the Hospital.
Yesterday afternoon about five O'Clock
William P. Dowd, who keeps a boarding and
lodging house at No. 70 Temple street, in the
building formerly known as the Derby
House, attempted to commit suicide by tax
ing poison. The first that was known about
the matter was when he requested Mrs. Ga
hung, his housekeeper, to send for his
brother-in-law. When asked what the
matter was he replied that he had taken a
dose of ''horse medicine" and was going to
die. DR.. M. G. White, the medical examiner,
was summoned at once and on his arrival
asked Dowd what he had taken. He replied
that he had taken arsenic, aconite and bella
donna. The doctor at once administered
powerful emetics, following them up with
strong coffee, and the result WAS the mans
stomach was speedily emptied of its contents.
After working over him for an hour the I'M
fortunate man was pronounced to be in con-
dition to be removed TO the hospital and the
police ambulance was summoned to take him
there.
AS near as could be ascertained the causes
which led the man to the attempt on his own
life were family troubles. About eleven
weeks ago his wife helped h erself to what
ready cash she could lay her hands upon and
left for parts unknown. Dowd has tried to
find the whereabouts of his wife but in vain
Only yesterday forenoon he requested one of
his boarders to write to his wifes friends in
South Adams, Mass, to inquire if they had
seen or heard anything of her.
In searching about the house of the would
be suicide DR.. White found small chest of
house medicines, some of the walls and pack
ages containing poisons and from this chest
no doubt Dowd secured the poison which he
took
Last evening at the hospital it was report
ed that Dowd was suffering considerably and
was not by any means out of danger

OTTAWA, Nov. 7.-Stalef Auglepper, a
Russian, was arrested at Fort Moody, B. c.,
yesterday afternoon by one Of the Dominion
detectives. He had been in town only ten
days, but had made sketches of the harbor
and Notifications, which he had enclosed to
the private secretary Of the Gear. They were
found in an envelope on his person. The
belief is that he intended to make plan of
the harbor in case of war between England
and Russia. The only crime which he could
be held for was vagrancy. He has been
bailed in the sum of $500 and it is thought
he will not appear.
