Fifty-Two Thousand for Bible Work.
10 The Editor OF the Press:
rmu shrewd business men, in the prime
Of life. have put on record their view Of
the Importance of Bible society work. Mr.
Elliott f. Shepard and Mr.. Augustus d.
Shepard have turned over to the Bible
Society in New York bonds amounting to
$50 S.3 "a The iccome of which is to be
used To promote the charitable purposes Of
the society.
Ten thousand dollars has come into the
treasury Of the New Hampshire Bible
Society from one Of the far-sighted business
men Of that state.
The Bible Society of Maine is very ag-
gressive organization. Ii las during the
past nine m0Bths commissioned more men,
visited m0re families, found and supplied
more Bibleless homes, sold and donated
more copies of the Scriptures from puse
to house than all the remaining New Eag-
land Bible societies combined.

wiseSt as well az the most consecraied
business nen and clergymen in the state.

David b. Hilps success has been due
almost entirely to a low cunning and readi-
ness TO pander to the boser elements of
his party. He has not the slightest claim
to be considered statesman or great
political leader. And yet this man is
reaching out to set the Democratic nonlin-
alton for the Presidency for himself, or If
that Is not possible, to dictate to whom il
shall &c, and unfortunately there is re .son
TO fear that in doing one or the other Of
tnese things he may be successful. We
say fear. because while it would ennre to
the advantage VI the Republicans to have
him nominated, it would be delnoralizlng In
Its tendencies to have either OF the great
parties Illuminate deasg0gue without a
conscience, bent merely OH aggrandizins

quarters was sent over. Mr.. Cook was
in his buggy, driving along Robert
street, intending to cross the bridge.
On nearing Fourth street he stopped in
order to see If the cable track
was clear. A cable car going down
town had stopped on hearing the
fire gong. and the assistant engineer
drove over the tracks. At the same in
slant the gripman started his car, only
few feet away, with the result that
collision took place, the fire buggy
being smashed and its occupant being
thrown heavily to the sidewalk. Fort
unately he escaped with nothing more
serious than severe shaking and
bruises. Chief jackson stated last even
ing that it had become the custom
among the gripmen of late to ignore the
rules giving the fire department
the right of way, and num-
Der of collisions had occurred
because the gripmen would not wait
until the apparatus had cleared the
tracks. He felt sure that his assistant
had been deliberately run into by the
gripman, for he had made careful i'll
Quiries from eye-Witnesses to the affair.
The chief stated that he always endeav-
ored to keep the tracks clear of appa-
ratuS when at fire, and few weeks
ago, when ordering a heavy truck to be
moved Oil Fourth street, so as to clear
the line, cable car ran deliberately
into it. The driver of the car who
wrecked the buggy last evening will be
prosecuted by the fire department as all
example.

Bishop Ireland has made such a fight
for temperance that he says the Irish

counted on one mans fingers. 1t was
Bishop Ireland, who made the fight
against the confirmation of Gen. Morgan
as commissioner of Indian affairs and
who has since severely criticized his ad-
ministration of that Office on the ground
that he has Disseminated against the
Catholic schools among the Indians. He
was III Washington last week, when he
had long conference on the Indian
question with Secretary Noble, and he
predicted here yesterday that it is only
matter of time when change will
necessarily be made in the Indian COM

FOY GETS FULL,
And Quits the Crystal Slipper
A Stabbing A fray,

Eddie Foy, the clever comedian of
the Crystal Slipper company, has
quit the combination, and is now in
Chicago. The row which has led to
this result began in st. Paul. One
night last week Foy got ingloriously
full, and was scarcely able to go
through the part. James NJ. Doner,
who played the part of TallStay, the
They were both too far in the
deep sea to go on at the
matinee. Foy went on Wednesday
night, but Doner was unable to get
from his hotel to the theater. Though
Foy could walk about the stage all
right it was an easy matter to discern
intoXication by his speech. The aud
ience understood the situation so thor
oughIy that Foy made a decided hit
when he said: u am too full to
know" instead of 81 am too
young to know" in the duet in
which he and little Ida Mule sing
in the second act. Doner's services
were dispensed with Immediately after
the performance Wednesday night.
Manager Henderson couldn't afford to
lose Foy's services. however, and he
was fined weeks salary instead. When
the company reached West Superior
Foy coaXed Henderson into giving him
half the phantomed stipend. AS soon
as he received it he bought ticket to
Chicago, where he is now, looking for a
new engagement.
Eddie left West Superior on Wednes-
day. Joseph Doner played the part on
Wednesday night. but last night the
Crystal Slipper" was given without
the comedy part. The reason for this
is that Doner was murder0uSly assaulted
Wednesday night at the depot in West
Superior while waiting for a train.
The actor, with number of members
of the company, stood on the depot
platform waiting for the train, when
some gamblers standing by made some
insulting remarks to one of the ladies of
the company. Doner resented the re-
mark and the toughs assaulted him. He
endeavored to draw his revolver, but
was unable to, and one of the gamblers,
Frank Wyatt by name. made a couple
Of vicious cuts at him with a knife.
The first blow laid bare the iawbone
for three inches, and the second made a
long, deep cash OH the side of his head.
Doner tainted, but, receiving prompt
medical attendance, was able to leave
with the company. Wyatt, who is a
sleek-looking fellow. bat tough, was
arrested three hours later, and as there
were plenty of witnesses, there is nc
| doubt of his conviction.
