ROMANCE OF TIE BLAND DOLLAR

the head of Liberty on the reverse
Of the Bland dollar. This is said
to be modelled from the head of
Miss Anna ". Williams, new in

Girls Normal School in Philadel-

made its appearances, the secret

to get any of Miss Williams friends

Some ladies among the students
were selected to pose. The contour
Of Miss Williams features was cho

NO LOCAL SENTIMENT
To Bolster Up the Claims of Any
Particular Candidate.

LAS soon as the friends and satellites Of
the various presidential candidates fully
realize that the convention would be wholly
removed from influences in the interest of
any candidate. they would contribute their
strength TO St. Paul's course said a promi-
nent Democrat yesterday. And that is a
condition that should be carefully guarded
here. We have no club nor organization to
bolster any BODY and we should have none
1t should be the common aim to accord
each and every aspirant and their following
cordial hospitality, leaving a clear field to
AL 10 develop their entire strength as best
they may.
THE one thing that will initiate against
New York, pursued the speaker, Twill be
the knowledge that there Is imminent dan
ger that it will be in the interests of a candi-
date. There are several of the New England
states that will oppose New York in protec-
ton Of their choice. The South is likely to
be suspicious OF the influence that the
mighty New York organizations may WELD,
and the solid " est is certain 10 stand for q
Western city. That is why ST. Paul stands
the best show in the canvass. | would sug
gest that the committee on promotion send
out circulars to the friends of al candidates
as well as 10 the national committeeman, i'll
which this condition shall be made positive
and clear Everybody should be assured that
no local influence will be brought TO bear,
ana such circular must have great effect. >
II like the idea suggested in the GLOBE,
that either mardi gras be held during con-
Ventlon week. or the fiftieth anniversary of
the city be postponed until that time said
another citizen. The people like diversions
and they will go long distances to see and
TO participate i'll carnivals. 1t would proba-
bly, have some weight also with the national
committee when it decides the place for

geant in the day. aud also in the evening,

DUBLIN, Dec. 22.-As the time draws
near for the polling in the Waterford
election, which will be held tomorrow,
feeling on both sides runs higher and
higher, and it will be a matter of con-
graduation il somebody is not hurt be-
fore the polls are closed. Several prom
lnent members of both factions of the
Irish parliamentary party are in Water
ford working energetically in the inter-
est af their candidates, and among them
is Michael O'Brien Dalton, the Parnell-
tie who assaulted Timothy Healy in
Cork in March last. Today Dalton met
David Sheehy, NJ. p. for South Galway,
who is in Waterford supporting the can
didacy of Michael Davitt, the nominee
of the McCarthyites, and stopped him.
Dalton violently abused Sheehy, who
retaliated in kind. A large crowd of
the supporters of john Redmond, the
Parnellite candidate, gathered about
the two disputants, and for a time it
appeared as though the whole crowd
would

have carried their threats into eXecu-
ton had it not been for the police, who
were attracted to the scene by the noise
of the quarrel. They rescued Mr..
Sheehy from his perllOus position and
escorted hin. to place of safety.
James {. Finn, NJ. p. for the north
ern division of Cork county. and Thomas
j. Condor, NJ. L. for East Tipperary,
also had a serious adventure with a MOB
of Parnellites. They were quietly pass
ing along when they were set upon by a
rabble, aud for a few moments their
predicament was a very serious one.
They finally got away from their assail-
ants and took refuge in the room of the
McCarthyite election committee. The
mob pursued them to the very doors.
which they tried to force, but were I'M
successful. The McCarthyiteS are act
ing together on the defensive, so far as
their personal battles are concerned, but
they claim that the balloting will show
that they have carried the political war
into the enemy's own country.
May Heal the split.
Michael Davitt, in an interview to-
day, said that if he proved victorious IN
tOmOrrOw'S contest it would put an end
to the split in the ranks of the Irish
party. His friends expected that he
would receive a majority OF 800, ne him.

regard to the contest. He said if he
suffered defeat in the polling for the
Waterford seat the members of the
Parnellite section would then consider
whether they would continue the strug-
gle. Personally, he was of the opinion
that, whether they scored vic
tory or sustained a defeat, they
would still continue to contest every
election in which they had a chance of
success.

BITTERLY DECEIVED.
Capt. Osborne's Wife Confesses to
Stealing Jewels.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Sir Charles Rus
sell and the other counsel for the plant
if in the action for libel brought by
Mrs. Osborne, wife of Capt. Osborne,
against Mrs. Hargreave, wife of Mai.
Hargreave, today announced to the
court that, acting under instructions
from Capt. Osborne, they withdrew the
case. Sir Charles announced in addi-
ton that Mr.. and Mrs. Osborne accepted
a verdict for the defendants. Justice
Denmap thereupon instructed the jury
to find verdict for the defendants, and
it vas accordingly done.
Mrs. Osborne now admits that she
stole the jewelry and that she sold 1t to
the jeweler for $3.50. She was paid bv
check for the stolen jewelry, and for
this check bank paid her in gold. She
then took the entire amount to Bond
street tradeSman, who changed the gold
into notes. The tradesman required
her to sign her name on the back of the
notes, which were thus traced through
the Bank of England back to herself.
Capt. Osborne visited the Bank of Eng
land yesterday, and his feelings may be
imagined better than described when
he was there confronted with the indis-
putable evidence of his wife's guilt.
He at once proceeded to his home and
told his wife of what had been pointed
out TO him at the bank. Mrs. Osborne
saw at once that her denials and pro-
testatlonS OF innocence would avail her
nothing. She broke down completely
and confessed to her husband that she

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The speaker

BARBAROUs SENTENCES.
Inhumanity of Russian Officials
and Merchants

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22.-Reports
of the merciless repression of Outlawry
are continually being received. The
civil authorities do not depend upon
themselves alone to put down brigand-
age and other lawless acts, but, upon the
merest preteXt, they summon the mill
tia, evidently with the intention of over
awning the people. Three men who
were convicted of robbery were con-
demned to undergo punishment with
the knOut. So well did the official ply
his dreadful weapon that the poor
wretches, who had probably stolen only
died under the lash.
In another case a man was detected
in the heinous crime of stealing a few
turnips, was hauled up before a court
Of justice and sentenced to penal servi-
tude for life.
The Telegraph's correspondent says
that the distress has not touched the
hearts of the rich merchants of St.
Petersburg, and they refuse to subscribe
anything for the relief of their suffer
ing countrymen, 1t cites. as an illuStra-
ton of the apathy with which the ap-
pealS for help have been received, the
fact that the collection boxes which had
been placed about the corn exchange
were found, when removed, to be filled
with bits of tin and pieces of paper.
In numerous cases dealers, after receiV-
ing eXOrbitant prices for their grain,
sent to the famine-stricken provinces IN
bags, the contents of which were mostly

had deceived him. and that she had
stolen her friends jewels.
Capt. Osborne is a general favorite.
and on every side great sympathy is
felt for him. He holds an unexception-
able position in society, and his record
in the army is a good one. He had the
greatest confidence in the honor of his
wife, and was willing to go to any
length TO prove that her character had
been maligned. He was engaged to her
when the accusation was first made
against her. He heard of the charges,
but She, of course. denied them, and 50
deep was his love for her and his conf
Gence in her integrity that he placed no
belief in the accusations, and married
her, feeling sure that proceedings in
court would establish her entire innO-
cence of the terrible charge Of theft.
How he was betrayed by the woman he
honOred by making his wife is now a
matter of record in the court. None but
kind words are heard concerning him.
but his wife is bitterly condemned.
1t is not yet known what action the
police will take in the matter. Should
Mrs. Osborne be arrested and proSecut-
ed, the authOrit eS can easily compel
Mr.. and Mrs. Hargreave to appear in
court and testify against her, but it is
not believed that Mrs. Osborne will be
prosecuted, her husband having agreed
to settle all legal and other claims
which have arisen out of his wife's I'M
fortunate episode.

Harrison, Senator Washburn stated that
it was upon the mission of the vacant
judgeship. He stated that he came
away about as we'll posted as when he
went to the White house about the
presidents intentions. The presidents
conversation would indicate, however,
that he wishes the courts non-partisan.

the place. By his previous appoint

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The senate
this morning h; resumed its normal
appearance after the obsequieS of yes

position to bring about an early ad-
sjournment.
The vice president laid before the

1 tary of war transmitting a report of the
schief of engineers in response to a
resolution of the senate adopted
at this session inquiring what
steps had ibeen taken by the
war department to carry out the pro-
vision of the last river and harbor bill
relating to distractions in navigabIe
waters of the United States and what
further legislation, if any, was neces-
sary. The acting secretary of war con-
Cured with the chief of engineers that
the law had not been in force suffi-

practical effect or what further legisla-
ton would be necessary to secure Its
