POUND CAKE POST.
The Accused Murderer Of Samuel
Apgar Opens an Illicit
Correspondence.

AS the time for the sitting of Cir
cult Court draws nigh, John Mil
Ter, the colcred man in Jail charged
with having a hand in the murder
of old man Apgar, begins to show
much anxiety. Being allowed no
communication with the outside
world he is naturally anxious about
his case. His anxiety was increas-
ed by the knowledge that a note
sent him by his wife had been in
tercepted by the Jail authorities.
Accordingly, he prepared a couple
of notes and endeavored to pass
them out through a change of
books. Miller is partly educated
and spends much of his prison
time in reading, the literature being
brought him by his wife or sister.
The officers of the Jail suspected
his design and examined the books
passed out. Two notes were found,
one of which shows quite a bit of
ingenuity. The contents of the
intercepted note from Mrs. Miller
were unknown to Miller, and sus-
pecting the communication had
some bearing on his case, he devils
ed a smart plan to find out. His
note o instruction to his wife is as
follows:
"My Dear Wife, Bake A Cake
With a note in it, / want to no

a letter A on the note if he said |

e and put it in cut the cake up in

May God bless You all
J. w. MILLER
i feel and know i viii get free
and will lev hear when i get out''
AS Mrs. Miller failed to receive
this note, Miller will be forced to
do without cake. He should be
satisfied with the good prison fare,
anyhow.
THE OTHER NOTE.
The other communication is a
mystic affair, and nothing can be
made oft. At any rate, if it should
possess any significance, it failed
to reach the person for whom il
was intended:
"Sister and Wife i hav not got

London Despatch to New York Tribune,

North Pole. His party consists of Mrs.
Carnegie, Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine and their two
daughters, Miss Dodge, Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps,
Mr.. Damrosch and DIR. Eaton. Between 10
and | | o'clock numbers of friends appeared
in Mr.. Carnegie's parlor to see them off, and
some hundreds Of slightly astonished Englisl =
men and women formed a sidewalk committee
outside. Mr.. Carnegie is so good a general
that all preparations hsn been completed
over night and he seemed to have nothing
to do but to talk politics with his
friends. Many Americans were presen,
Lord Rosebery, Mr.. Gourley. the Radical NJ.

<ere conversing with Mr.. Blaine. A bouquet
of La France roses for Mrs Carnegie and .
basket of fruit from Mrs. Blaine were on the
table, both giftsfrom Mr.. and Mrs. Vikings of
New York. Mrs. Carnegie distributed other
flowers among the company. 1 heard that
both florist and fruiter had declined to un-

are not delivered, or are delivered to the
wrong persons" On this occasion they came
safely by fair private hands.
just before II Lord Rosebery gave his arm
to Mrs. Carnegie, Mrs. Blaine was escorted
by her host. and the whole party with their
friends went down to the front door. The
police cleared the sidewalk Everybody's
place on the coach had been fixed, and the
party settled themselves comfortably; Mr.
and Mrs. Carnegie on the back seat, and Mr.. |
Blaine and Mrs. Phelps on the box next the |

The People Were Awake to the Danger.

There is 20 doubt that the result of the
election in Oregon is partly due to the
prominence given to the tariff question in
choosing member of Congress and to the
unnstructed and apprehensive state of mind
of the people on that question, which has as
yet been very imperfeetly discussed in that
region. The lumber and wool interests are
very prominent in Oregon. and there has
been good deal of shrewd working upon
the fears of those concerned in them lest
they should suffer from the removal of the
duties which is proposed by the Democratic
party.

II in politics blunder is not q crime,
it Is just as fatal to success as criminal
transaction. Within the past thirty years
the Democratic party has surely committed
crime enough to sink it beneath the reach
Of fine or plummet in the estimation of
honest men and in the light of impartial
history. Its blunders ought to secure its
certain defeat in any intelligent canvass
Of its merits and policy before the peo-
pie of this country. 1t thought itself
very wise in conceiving and carrying out
the scheme Of nominating for the vice
presidency old Mr.. Thurman of
Ohio. nearly at his eightieth year
with failing physical and in
tellectual powers. The Democratic
leaders have thought to make up for the
proved weaknesses and failures Of Cleve-
land by associating with him as eandi-
date one whose personal character is above
reproach and whose past reputation for
intellectual strength has been we'll
verified. The Tribune well remarks that

bic, and If any elements we've needed to
strengthen the ticket they are SURE
Thurman will supply them. A few facts
will quickly dissipate the halo about
Thurman, however. He has never been
directly before the people Of Ohio for
Office but once. That was in 1867. when
he ran for governor against Rutherford
b. Hayes. The vote then stood: Hayes,
243, 1905; Thurman, 2l0,622. Majority
against Thurman, 29s3.
What prospect he or any other Demo
erat has of carrying Ohio can be seen from
