FOUND HIS SON.
Return of a Man Who Went Out to Mill,
Cows AZ Years Ago.


VANDALIA, ILL, October 20.-Forty-
seven years ago Charles Adams married
Miss Sarah Houston, sister of Supervi-
sor NJ. +. Houston, prominent farmer
OF this (Fayette) county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams had lived to-
gether just one year when, one evening,
Adams went out TO milk the cows, but
did not return and was not heard of af-
terward, although Mr.. Houston travelled
much and spent 4 great deal of money
in vain search for his brother-in-law.
Not long after Adams disappearance
a son was born to Mrs. Adams, but the
birth resulted in the mothers death.
The child was cared for by the HouS-
tons, and grew TO manhood and is now
living on his farm, two and a half miles
west of Vandalia. During his absence
not the slightest clew was had TO Adams
whereabouts, and he was supposed to
be dead.
About three weeks ago a man, appar-
emily about - years old, inquired if the
Houstons still lived here, and on being
Informed that they did, left word that
he would return and visit them in about
three weeks. The stranger, who proved
to be the missing man, made good his
promise, and on Friday returned to this
city.
Mr.. Adams did not assign any reason
for leaving home so abruptly, but said
that he was informed soon after the
child was born that both the mother
and child had died, and knew no better
until Informed by his friends here.
Some four or five years after the death
Of his wife, Adams says, he married
again and resided in Troy, \. y. Four
children wero born to them, all Of whom,
together with their mother, have since
died. The truant father seemed over
joyed to know that he had living son,
and at once procured conveyance and
started for his home.

A Canadian Opinion.

RENFREw, ONT, October 20.-Sir
Richard Cartwright discussed trade re-
lationS between Canada and the United
States before large audience here to-
night. He declared that the policy OF
the Dominion in this matter had been
vaccilating and puerile. He dwelt upon
the importance of the United States
being the natural market for most of
Canada's products and upbraided the
government for their direlection of duty
in not making sufficient effort to bring
about closer trade relations with that
country. He quoted statistics setting
forth that the United States furnishes
customers for fully onc-half Canada'S
exports. He held that the tendency of
a protective tariff was to the formation
of rings and trusts for the purpose of
increasing prices of goods to the con-
Sumer, and strongly. pronounced him
self in favor OF unrestricted trade.

CARNIVAL OF CRIME.
Sensational Suicide of Architect Mullet-
Other Deeds of Violence.

WASHINGTON, October 20.-Mr. a. B.
Mullet, one of the best known architects of
this city and for many years Supervising
Architect of the Treasury Department,
shot himself this evening at his residence.
He had been in poor health for long time,
suffering from rheumatic and other COM
plants, but it is thought financial
trouble was the chief cause Of
Mr.. Mullet's act. This evening he was
feeling poorly, and his wife went down
stairs TO get him some beef tea. She had
hardly reached the foot of the stairs when
she heard a pistol shot, and rushing back
found her husband gasping for breath,
with the blood oozing from wound in his
head. A doctor was Immediately sum-
moned, but Mr.. Mullet died in few
minutes Mr.. Mullet was 50 years old,
and was very well known all over
the country. Since his retire
ment from the Office of Supervis-
ing Architect Of the Treasury Mr.. Mullet
had devoted most of his time to profes-
sional business in Washington. Mr. Null
let leaves a family of five children. He
had a severe case of the grip last winter
from which he still suffered. For the past
few months he has been at times despond-
ent and gloomy. He had built several
houses recently that he could not dispose
of, and this preyed upon his mind.
