Hon. JAS Gallagher, New Haven. Conn
DEAR SIR: Your favor is Just re
ccived Mr. Morrison authorizes me e
say that he has made NO such state
ment rs that indicated in the news
paper clipping sent t. me.
10 far as am concerned PERSONAL,
regard the duty imposed ON Sumatr;
tobacco rs an improper attempt t,
eyade our treaty Stipulations with the
Netherlands. This was my view of il
when the duty was proposed in the
Committee ON Ways and Means, and
still entertain il and believe the duty
ought To be diminished instead of in
creased
The state of Kentucky is the large 81
tobacco growing state i'll the Union
but if our people cannot succeed with
out Il law of Congress, increasing The
price of their products. think they
had better go into some other bust
ness, Very respectfully yours.
j. &. CARLISLE
The above letter furnishes conclu
Sive evidence that there is not Il ghost
of a show of having the tobacco du
ties increased 10y the present congress
And if the idea should get abroad that
the only hope for an increase in prices
lies in higher duties, when il is aseer
tanned that higher duties can not b,
obtained, the result must be to depre
ciate tobacco far below its legitimat,
level. and occasion great loss to tn,
holders thereof, No one is more anx
ious than we are to have the tobacc,
growers obtain good price for thei
product, and the higher prices are, tn,
better will we be pleased: but we ar,
firmly convinced that it is useless I,
seek to obtain good prices by raisins
the already high tariff.

1t is said that Sumatra tobacco es-
capes the import duty which it was
the intention of congress to impose
upon it when the present law was
passed. If such is the case The Dem
ocrat hopes to see the wrong rightcd
speedily. We want no evasion Of
the tariff laws, whether they are
hiUh or low

Mr.. TILDEN, according to a long ar
ticle in the New York Times devoted to
has daily life, usually woke in the morn
ing about half past four. An electric
bell at the head Of his bed summoned
his valet who gave him bis medicine,
which he took as regularly as he did his
food. AfterwaId he lay until about 8
O'Clock, seemingly dozIng, though when
his valet, thinking him asleep, sp-
preached the bed, he found his eyes
open and watching him. If he felt we'll
he was assisted down to 8 o'clock
breakfast, which usually consisted Of
milk and some rich broth. Owing to
an attack Of paralysis, Mr.. Tilden was
unable to close his lips, and his mouth
was constantly open. His right hand,
from some cause, was entirely useless,
trembling all the time. He had not even
the power to raise 1t to his mouth. His
left hand was but slightly affected by
the stroke OF paralysis, and he had the
partial use of 1t. In eating he used his
left hand to hold up his, lower jaw. His
faithful companion, MsAs Anna Gould,
who is the sister Of the wife Of Mr.. Henry
Tllden, placed to his mouth every parti-
Gle of food that he ate. She generally
put 1t In his mouth with spoon, and
he was enabled to swallow 1t by raising
his lower jaw with his left hand, and
putting his head back.

Nettie Cummins, the Plaintiff, Fails to Ap
pear Against Him.

pear Against Him.
Friday afternoon all Navarro took
half holiday to attend the hearing Of
James SheDpey, landlord of the Navarro
fold Reed) House, In that village, charg-
ed with rape by Nettie Cummins, q
domestic In Sheppey's employ. The de-
tails OF the alleged crime, Sheppey's
arrest In Canton, and Incarceration In
both Navarro and Canton jails have
been detailed in the DEMOCRAT as the
events occurred. The trial took place
before Mayor Sisterhen and Sheppey
was taken from the county jail here by
Marshal Stahl Friday morning and
taken to N-vaIr5
When the case was called the Mayors
Offi,e was packed with interested spec
tatOrs. Eugene WillisOn, ESQ, of Mas
sillon, appeared for the plaintiff, and j.
j. Grant, Esq, of Canton, for the de-
fendant. After all the preliminaries
had been arranged Attorney WillisOn
stated that his client would not appear
against Sheppey and, Oh her behalf,
withdrew the charge. This action met
with howl of indignation from the
citizens and for time things looked
equally for Sheppey.
Constable Weber, of Canton, was pres
ent and solved the problem for Sheppey.
immediately after the latter's release
Weber arres led him on another charge,
and took his prisoner to Canton via
Massill0n, arriving at the county seat
Friday night. Here the second charge
against Sheppey was dissolved and he
was given his freedom. He left at once
for Warren, Ohio, his former home, and
1t Is not likely that he will visit Ma
Varre very soon.
Mrs. Sheppey remains In possession Of
the hotel, and J. j. Grant, ESQ, will ar
range for releasing 1t to some other
party, the Sheppys being deslrOus Of
getting out OF the village.
The following paragraph concerning
the Sheppys and their house is from the
Navarro Independent:
Things have been running very
loosely at this house for some time past,
and 30 far as hotel accommodations are
concerned they are disgrace and give
away to Navarro. The girl, we under
stand, bears rather q bad reputation
also. Her father was In town on Tues
day, and In an interview with him we
learn that she some time ago had an ex-
County Commissioner of Tuscarawas
county arrested for an attempt at rape,
but the case was not pushed. She is
married, but does not live with her hUs-
band" ,v@
The woman In the case, Nettie Cum
minis, gives her age as thirty-three
years. Her parents reside In Dundee,
Tuscsrawas county.

Mr. Tilden's country home at GreYstone IL
situated on the east bank of the Hudson,
about eighteen miles from the New York
city ball, and is one of the first among the
beautiful homes of America 1t was built by
John T. Waring Massachusetts, hat manu-
facturer, who made his money, it Is said, by
using convict labor The building and farm
of about 100 acres cost him $3.50, 900. Mr..
Tilden bought it in 1879 and was constantly
at work improving it. Every day that was
not stormy he might have been seen inspect
ing the various portions of his farm as he
called it, and it is a farm, and an exceedingly
well regulated one, the stock being the very
best procurable.
Here for year past his daily life has been
about as follows: He usually awoke in the
morning about 4:30 o'clock. An electric bell
at the head of his bed summoned his valet,
who gave him his medicine, which be took as
regularly as he did his food. Afterward he
would lie about until s o'clock, seemingly
doing, though when his valet, thinking him
asleep, approached the bed he found his
bright eyes open and watching him. If he
felt well he was assisted down to a o'clock
breakfast, which usually consisted of milk
and some rich broth. Owing to paralysis,
Mr.. Tilden was unable to close his lips, and
his mouth was constantly open. His right
hand from the same cause was entirely use-
less, trembling all the time. He had not even
the power to raise it to his mouth. His left
hand was but slightly affected by the stroke
of paralysis, and he had the partial use Of it.
In eating he used his left hand to hold up his
lower jaw.
His faithful companion, Miss Anna Gould,
who is the sister of the wife Of Mr. Henry
Tilden, placed TO his mouth every particle Of
food that he ate, She generally put 1t in bis
mouth with spoon and he was enabled to
swallow it by raising his lower jaw with his
left hand, and pulling his head back. While
at breakfast, the morning papers were read
to him and notes made by his secretaries at
his direction of any important point or nova
in the political world. After breakfast he
usually went into his office, on the right side
of the hall, where he saw the different en-
ployers of the place and heard their respec.
tive reports

NEW YORK, Aug 4.-Samuel j. Tiden
died at Greystone, N. Y, at S:45 a. M, to-
day. Mr. Tilden had been in very feeble
health for some time, yet his sudden demise
was entirely unexpected. The end was peace
full and quiet The immediate cause of Mr..
Tilden's death was the failure of the heart
following an acute attack Of diarrhoea and
nausea. There were present at the time Mr.
Tilden's niece, Miss Gould, and Drs Charles
Z. Smonds and Samuel Swift.
Paralysis and bodily infrlnities, incident
to old age. had reduced Mr., Tilden to mere
skeleton, and his last days were marked by
extreme feebleness.
Samuel Jones Tilden was born at Lebanon,
N. ", February 8, 1914 He graduated at
Yale college, studied law and was admitted
to the bar. Caring little for social pleasures
he remained unmarried, giving his whole
time and energy to his profession, He be-
came eminently successful, acquiring large
fortune. Though from an early age he took
all exceedingly active interest in politics, his
retiring disposition prevented him from seek
ing the many public offices he might have OBJ
tained He was chairman Of the state Demo
cratic committee for thirteen years, In lS4e
and 1867 he was member Of the state con.
stitutional convention, and served in the
state assembly for two terms, 1916, 1879.
In 1871 he was prominent in tho prosecu-
- q Al. ~ NJ,
in 1874 he was elected governor of New York
by majority of nearly $4,000 In 1876 he
was the Democratic candidate for the presi-

able public agitation, was given to his COM
petitor, R. B. Hayes Mr.. Tilden's city resi-
dence at Grammercy park, New York, and
his country estate at Greystone, about two
miles north of Yonksrs on the Hudson river,
