Since the announcement was made some
weeks since that General Adlai Z. Steven

dent, would visit this State in the interest
of the Democratic party, the Intctl'9s'lcer

their editorial and news columns, put 1ortn
every effort to counteract any good enecIs

have not been confined 10 true statement
of the principles General Stevenson repre-
sents nor to an honest exposition OF MS rec
ord as public man or private citizen. On
the contrary, the publications have been

attention to attacks upon General Steven

COLUMBUS, ONO, October 31.-John Nc
Bride, President of United Mine Workers
OF America, gave out tonight for publica-
ton the following correspondence, in an
swer to the charge made against Adlai E!
Stevenson in Republican newspapers:
Boston, September 81.
'FR1END JOHN suppose you are busy
Just now, but may depend upon you for a
personal favor. Will you kindly write me,
at once, the facts in regard to Stevenson
as an employer of miners. Has he been
regarded as in any sense an antagonist to
union interestsl The eastern printers find
Reid bad dish of crow to swallow and J
want very much to know the fact as to
Stevenson. Your early reply to this re-
quest will confer an obligation on
Yours, frsternally,
''FRANK K. FOSTER
''To John McBride."
Mr.. Foster is editor Of the Labor Leader,
Of Boston, one of the Oldest and most in
huential labor organs in New England.
To this letter Mr.. Mcbride answered as
follows:
"CoLUMBUs, ONO, September 50.
DEAR SIR: Yours to hand inquiring as
the truth or falsity Of the assertion thcC
General A. E. Stevenson, candidate for
Vice President on the Democratic ticket, is
an enemy to organized labor. The miners
ofIIlinois are practically disorganized. Out
of 10000 miners aud mine laborers, not
more than 500 are members Of the organi
tation and this not because Of opposition
by their employers, but by the apathy and
carelessness of themselves. Under these
circumstances. comparison of their treat
ment of employees determine whether
man is opposed to organized labor or not.
"You mayn't be aware Of the fact, but.
the evils of which miners in all coal pro-
ducing States of the country chiefly COM
plain are: First, the pluck-me store; Sec
ond. the length of time between paydays;
third, the Weighing of coal after screening,
instead of before. During the last session,
of the Illinois Legislature laws were en-,
acted giving the miners relief from the
evils complained of. The operators de-
clared the laws unconstitutional and either
sought TO have their miners sign an agree
ment waving their right to the benefit Of
the laws named, or had action taken and
then appealed to the Supreme Court
where the cases now are.

Drove Him 10 Drink.

COLUMBUS, November 6.-Miss Mary
J Loren this afternoon filed suit for
divorce from John w. Loren, member
OF well-known family and ex-principal
of the West Side schools. She charges
him with habitual drunkenness
and cruelty. Friends OF the
defendant state that his drinking
habits are largely attributable to his
troubles with his wife, and that the
divorce action is the result OF trouble
that has extended throughout their
married life. 1t is stated that the cir
cumstances Of the marriage were pecu-
liar, and that the primary cause Of the
difficulty Is simply incompatibllity. IL
is not probable that the wife's suit will
be contested

is President is the only honorable excep4
ton, that I am aware Of. that refused to
adopt this high-handed policy; indeed. to
their credit be it said pluck me- never dis
graced their works; they always paid
their men in cash Having for years volun-
tarily carried out the provisions OF two
laws, it didn't require a great sacrifice to
obey the third, and this they cheerfully did.
They now pay their men in cash weekly
and have no stores, and coal is weighed be-
fore screening. Thus they carry out every
law demanded By our organization.
at nearly al large c0llieries the COM
panies erect houses for their workingmen,
charging them, in many cases, an exorb-
liant rent. Mr.. Stevenson erected about
200 houses. each having q garden plot OF
from half to an acre Of ground. Instead
of charging high rent, like others, ne
sold the houses and lots to the miners,
taking fair rental In payment, and the
result is that ninety per cent. OF his miners
own their own homes.
Secretary Mcbride, who visited Bloom
ington in the interest of the organization,
says he foand there the same apathy that
existed in the rest of Illinois, and twice
failed to get meeting. Mr.. Stevenson de-
hvered the labor day address at Blooming
ton one year ago. his subject being The
Rise and Progress Of the Labor Organiza-
tion,' and his workmen in one body visited
him after his nomination to tender their
congratulations. On all evipence attain
able, would say that Mr.. Stevensonis not
an enemy of organized labor
"Very respectfully yours.

New YORK, November 6.-"Yes, 1t is
true that Mrs. Sim and | have separ-
ated for the present." said Colonel Sim,
the manager of the Park Theater In
Rrookivp. to-day. "But there is not
the slightest tinge of scandal connected
with the matter. There is no third
party' in the case on either side. we
have agreed to separate, but we are on
speakipg terms. Our differences are OF
a strictly private nature. We are now
and expect to be always friends, and
Mrs. Sim has been true and loyal
wife to me, and have no doubt am re-
carded as a loyal husband by her. This
Is postiyely all have to say or Will say
about the matter"
Mrs. Sim, or Cora Tanner, as she is
better known to theatre-goers, was WIS.,
tied by a reporter and his statement
read to her.
"That covers the case," she said.
"Tbat is all there is to it. There is no
sensation in this agreement by Colonel
Sim and myself to separate. we nave
separated We have our own private
reasons for doing so and there is moth
ing more to say"
Mrs. Tanner, Colonel Sims mother
in.law. has intimaJed that the couple
were mismated so far as age
was concerned. Mrs. Sim. her
mother says, enjoyed the company
of people of her own age, and the Col
onel, who is considerably older than
she. was a bit exacting, or, perhaps,
Jealous would be the proper word. Cos
sin. too, had it that Col. Sim had spent
a great deal of money trying to make
his wife a star, and that failing in this
he wished her to retire from the stage.
She would not do so.

HARRISON MKN WANT ODDS
After S40,0 of the 100000 of DEM

Bad Been Covered.


After $4,000 of the 100000 of Dem
ocratic Money at the Hoffman House
Bad Been Covered.
NEW YORK, November Ga fifty
thousand-dollar roll OF Democratic
money was deposited at the Hoffman
House on Wednesday night to be bet on
Clevelsnd's election. About $40, 900 OF
this was covered. 1t was also an
nounced by Edward Kearney, a
Democrat, that there was $780,
600 more ready TO be placed in
the same way, but no part OF this was
accepted. After the Democratic fund
of 500, 900 went up the Harrison bet
tiers asked for odds, so that by Thurs
day the figures In Clevelaud's favor were
ten to nine. The betting continued
steady this figure, and the
closing quotations on Saturday night
showed very few bets registered
at even money. George Wheelock, a
bookmaker, has been the nerviest Of the
Harrison plungers. He has placed
$50, 900 or Whereabouts on Harrison, bet
ting both on the State and general re-
suit, and still has a margin OF $4,000
left. After he succeeds in placing this
he will rest on his oars. He believes
that he will win.
Bookmakers John and James Mahon-
ey have acted as agents in placing a
great deal of the money supposed to
emanate from the Democratic cam
paign managers. 1t is common report
also that they have wagered their own
money on Cleveland.
Michael f. Dryer has been another
persistent plunger on the Cleveland
side. His wager Of $4,000 to $4,000
that the Democrats will win in this
State is the largest made. Most OF
DIVERS bets have been placed this way,
he not caring to lay much money on the
general result, evidently believing this
fO be very uncertain.
