fortune derived from the sale or his pat
ent nostrum has been squandered in dis.
sipation. His success was due more to
extensive advertising than to any merit
in his medicine, and when fairly started
on the road to wealth he developed
fondness for eccentricities Of a most ex.
travagant sort.
Fast living made n wreck Of him, ply.
sically and mentally, and he went
abroad for his health. At his wife's re-
quest he was placed in a European sani-
tarium for a time. On his return his
conduct was so outrageous that his wife
secured divorce.
Then brother had him incarcerated
in an asylum at Morristown, from
which he was discharged as cured. He
then went to Philadelphia, where it was
again found necessary to place him in
confinement. The courts ordered his
release after time and he went to Long

There he remained until last Friday.

declared insane. This will probably be
the last, for competent physicians have
pronounced his case hopeless.

IT TRIED HIS NEApoLlrAN SOUL.
Angelo Liked tho Fire Engine Until II
Came Too Close to Mi3 Wares.


Came Too Close to Hin Wares.
"sAh, re pretta enginai"
1t was Angelo Solferino who uttered this
exclamation, clapping his hands with glee
and admiration. A silver plated fire en-
gine of the old run-by-hand pattern was
coming up Broadway behind a double line
of red shirted reyelers who were out for a
big parade.
Angelo was one of the line of dusky mer.
chants that plant their carts along the
curb, offering bananas and peanuts cheap
to all who pass that way, and paying rent
to no man. The stock in trade in his little
push cart was peanuts, whole bagful,
piled up in tempting array and purchas
able at five, three and two cents the cup.
The off line Of red shirts passed very close
to Angeles cart, and as she foreman
reached it he put forth an arm and took
peanut. The man following him followed
suit; the third man took two, the fourth a
handful. And so it went down the entire
line, and Angeles pile melted like snow be
fore the suns Of August.
For moment or two he stood rooted to
the ground in speechless amazement.
Then, as he looked and saw what tre-
mendOus line there was still coming-a run
on his bank that was enough to call for
the establishment of receivership-he be-
gan to jump up and down in uncontrolla
BILE excitement, swearing and praying and
calling on the saints to protect him from
this vandalism. Once he reached for his
stiletto, but the hopelessness of killing
some fifty brawny men seemed to enter
through the mists of his frenzy, and he did
not draw the weapon.
Meanwhile the flremen, grinning fiend.
ishly and as rnconcerned as If there were
not an Italian ironclad in the world, con-
tinued to help themselves as the line swept
on.
At last, in sheer desperation, and more it
seemed from instinct than reason, Angelo
seized his push cart and hauled it out OF
reach just as the last man-the man Mt the
pole-made grab for the treasures. And
then, when all was over and the revelers
out Of sight, he sat down on the cold pave
ment and began to weep, while his cold
hearted rivals in business gathered around
and grinned and chartered and seemed to
think the little tragedy the best joke in the
world. Thus is it always when we weep

having been raised to banns. One was by
a Roman Catholic mother, who objected
on the ground that her daughter was going
to marry Protestant AS the daughter
was of age this was no legal impediment,
and the parties were eventually married.
In the other case master objected to the
marriage OF his apprentice, minor, on the
ground that he was not earning enough to

THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE


This Afternoons Meeting May De
eide Against Quay's Retirement.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Republi
can national executive committee with
meet at the Arlington hotel in this city
this afternoon. The meeting was to
have been held in Philadelphia, but a
change of plan was decided on and sew.
eral members of the committee did not
know until yesterday afternoon that they
were to meet here. If Mr.. Quay insists
upon retiring it is supposed that Clark.
son will be chosen chairman, and either
Fessenden CT Mr.. Payne will succeed
Clarkson as vice chairman.
Omaha is early to the front with a
bid for the national convention. Colonel
q. II. Scott is on hand with authority to
present the claims of that city. He
says that Omaha is going to do all she
can to get the convention.
Those members of the committee who
are trying to prevent Mr.. Quay's retire
ment have raised the question of the
right of the executive committee to
accept his resignation as chairman.
They say that he was chosen chairman
of the national committee, and is chair
man Of the executive committee by vir-
tue of the other craftsmanship; that is,
that he is chairman ex-officio of the ex,
ecutive committee and must remain so
as long as he is chairman Of the national
committee.
If this idea prevails at the meeting
Mr.. Quay will not be able to retire until
the national convention has met and
organized, which will be some time
next fall.

fact that tho official inquiry has up TO
this time failed to establish clearly the
ueal cause Of the collision. Seven addi-

making total of fifty dead thus far ac-
counted for. Tho state of some of tine
remains found makes it appear probable
that in some cases the heaps of cinders
collected may prove to be those of two
persons which have been counted as
pne. The assistant station master at
Eincennes and the driver of the second
engine have been arrested on the charge
OF having contributed by carelessness to
the collision.
