Ruth or Benny.

Which of the two will reign at the
White House nursery during the next
four years-charming little Ruth or
boisterous Baby Mckee? Every mother
in the land will unconsciously ask her
self the question, for women think
more of a child than of the Tariff, and
Mrs. Cleveland is more to them than
the Canadian fisheries. They wonder
therefore, which of the two children
will be the fortunate occupant. In
the meantime, however, it would be a
good idea to bring the two of them
up to Minnesota-away from the
malaria of the Potomac and the chol-
era of the East-and give them an
outing such as children delight in, at
White Bear or some of the other IA
nous summer resorts along the line
of the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad.

a. m. at their home, No. 81
East One Hundred and Thirteenth
street. The dead children are
Mary, aged 5 years; Richard, aged
Is months, and John, aged 9 months.
The fire, which was caused by the ex-
plosion of kerosene lamp, had gained
such Roadway before the firemen could
reach the house that it was impossible
to rescue the inmates.

DEs MONIES, Ia, July News ID re-
ceived from Indianola, Ia, that during
the afternoon white and colored man,
the latter named Fred Benson, who
were confined in the county Jail, escaped
by Selling Deputy Sheriff Martin, bind
ing and gagging him and securing
his revolver. Locking him in the cell,
the prisoners left, going toward some
timber about mile distant The dep
uty succeeded in freeing himself in a
short time, raised the alarm, and soon a
posse was in pursuit of the fugitives.
They were soon in close proximity to the
fleeing men, when the negro turned and
fred at the posse, but without effect.
Seeing escape was impossible he turned
the weapon upon himself and fell dead
with bullet in his brain. The other
prisoner was soon captured. The negro
had served two years at Fort Madison
for burglary of the postoffice at Clark
but had been rearrested on an old charge
of larceny.

PEOPLES PARTY LEADERS.
They Issue Joint Letter Accepting the
Nominations.


PENSACOLA, Fla, Sept. 19,--Generals
James B. Weaver and James G. Field,
the Peoples party candidates for presi-
dent and vice president, have issued a
joint letter Of acceptance of the nomina-
tions, addressed to the public.
They say they have visited fifteen
states in the northwest and south in their
political tours, and have noticed that
''the people are in poverty, their sub
stance is being devoured by heartless
monopolies, trusts, pools and money
sharks"
"a strong plea is made for free bal
lot and a fair count" and recent election
methods in Alabama are complained of.
They claim that Captain Kolb was
elected governor of Alabama by 10000
majority, but counted out. They also
assert that the Peoples party was cheated
in the Alabama election.
The candidates say, in conclusion:
CATER an experiment of many years it
is apparent that neither the Republican
party nor the Democratic party can or
will accomplish the much desired end,
to wit, the restoration of the ballot to a
fair and honest basis in the states of the
Union. The Peoples party alone can
secure the desired end.
"lf the people of the whole country
who desire honest elections and the re-
peal of class laws will rally to the sup
port of this industrial movement and
place the party in power under whose
banner the white people of the south are
now marshaling themselves, this vexed
question will be settled forever.

light, and the dark steamer beneath
1t gradually disappear in the distance.
We see them grow frantic. The women
kneel and stretch out their hands toward
the disappearing boat and pray for some
power to turn the ear Of the commander,
but the steamer gradually draws away,
and its light disappears below the swell,
and despair and death claim the little
boat as their own. They pick up the
dead bodies on the beach; there is only
ono left to tell the story. l thank God
that to preach Christ means to preach
one who has power in the great beyond
to rebuils the broken boat, to restore
the broken hearts and broken homes
and answer in fullness those cries of
wild despair. HE that liveth and be-
heveth in me shall never die."

PANAMA via GALVESTON, Sept. 49,
The prefect of police in Colon on Satur-
day stopped United States Consul Ashby
and United States Inspector of Customs
Vopham near the Colon docks, and in
the presence of crowd charged them
with violating the quarantine which had
been placed upon the steamship New
port. The project spoke very sharply to
Mr.. Ashby, admonishing him that his
conduct was beyond excuse and threat
ening him with deportation as punish
menG for his contempt Of the authority
and the governors proclamation. Mr..
Vopham was taken to Jail, but was re-
leased at $50 in the evening The con-
dition of business in Colon is without
precedent in recent years. Hundreds of
men who have found work at the docks
have been deprived of employment by
the exclusions of ships from Europe and
the United States. The utmost destitu-
ton prevails among the families of these
men, and serious disorders are threat
ened

kENT, o, Sept. ia narrow escape
from one of the most disastrous railroad
accidents ON record in Ohio occurred at
this place yesterday on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. The first section of a
G. A. Il. train, bound for Washington
from points in Nebraska, was standing
at the depot when it was run into by the
second section following. The fiagman
of the first train saw the second section
approaching, and managed to get far
enough back to attract the engineers at
tention. The latter partly stopped his
train, so that it was running slowly when
it struck the rear sleeping car. The force
of the collision jammed two sleepcrs to-
gether and slightly injured large num-
Der of people who were just arising. All
the injured We're attended by surgeons
on the train and carried to Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The prelimin-

encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic-the dedication of the Grand
Army Place on White House lot-took
place at noon today, but only fraction
of the army of veterans were present to
witness the exercises, as they are still
pouring into the city on every train and
from every direction. Everything passed
off smoothly, and, barring the absence Of
tho chief magistrate of the nation, the
present session promises to be by far the
most interesting in the history of the or
ganization. Washington never looked
more beautiful than now, was never in
a more healftful condition, and the san
itary arrangements made for the various
camps are pronounced by old soldiers
and medical men to be rs near perfect as
possible.

THROWN FROM HIS HORSE.
Germany's Emperor Narrowly Escapes
Being Crushed to Death.

BERLIN, Sept. 19.-Emperor William
was thrown from his horse during the
maneuvers near Anklam on Saturday
and narrowly escaped being crushed to
death by the horse. The emperor was
accompanied by his war minister and by
several members of the grand general
staff, He was riding at a gallop through
field covered with high grass, endeav-
oring to keep in view cavalry charge
some distance ahead. With his well arm
he held field glass, while his other arm
rested helpless on the saddle. His horse
stumbled on the edge of ditch, con-
cealed by the grass, and before the en-
peror could grasp the reins bowled
over
The emperor was shot over the horses
head. The horse scrambled up, bounded
directly over the emperor, and bolted.
The emperor rose, laughing, before the
members Of his staff could dismount to
help him. His coat was rent and his
uniform stained, but he had neither
bruise nor scratch. He ridiculed the
anxiety of his staff, and refused to take
any one of the preferred horses. When
his own horse had been caught he
mounted and proceeded to discharge his
duty as one of the umpires.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 19.-State La

charge of willfully destroying public
records, Both the accused pleaded mot
guilty" to the charge. Mr. Chase, who
appeared for the Democratic committee,
wanted to go on with the case at once,
but Mr.. Meegan, Peck's COUNSEL asked
for an adjournment. He thought de-
cision of the mandamus case now pend
ing before Justice Fnrsman would
likely tend to greatly facilitate the
present action, as the court would pass
on the question as to whether the papers
Mr.. Peck is accused of destroying are
public records within the meaning of
tho code. The accused were held in
$40, 900 bail, which was furnished.

Considering what very poor things
cigarettes are, 1t is surprising that they
should have got such q hold on the
community. But, bad as they are,
they are extremely fascinating. The
use Of them, when carried to excess, be-
comes habit that is most difficult to
break, while they are so cheap and so
convenient that it takes exceptional dis
cretion to smoke them at all without
smoking them to q deleterious extent.
OF course it is primarily because they
are SO cheap that they appeal so gener-
ally to boys; but even with boys, who
ought not to be allowed to smoke at all,
it is not so much the tobacco in the Gig
arctic that does the mischief as the pes
tilent and insinuating practice of inhal-
ing the smoke.
An ordinary boy of wholesome appe-
tites won't smoke cigars or pipe tobacco
enough to do him serious damage, even
If he can get them. Nor would the
cigarettes lie might smoke be so serious
a menace to his welfare if he would
only smoke them as lie would smoke
cigars. Tho trouble is that as soon as
he gets used to cigarette smoking lie be-
gins TO inhale the smoke, and presently
is fixed in habit that plays the mis-
chief with him.
Whether anything besides tobacco
goes into ordinary cigarettes is a much
discussed question. The effect they
sometimes produce on the brain is so
different from that due to tobacco in
other forms as TO favor the theory that

Killed by a Jealous Lover.

Mt. HOLLY, N. J., Sept 19.-Lizzie
Peak, an exceptionally handsome young
woman, was murdered here by her ac-
cepted lover, Wesley Warner, who had
become jealous of the attention bestowed
on her by other men. Hearing that Liz
zie had gone to the Opera house with
Harvey Matlocl1, Warner lay in wait and
when she emerged with her escort he
sprang upon her with an uplifted knife,
and before he could be prevented eut a
deep cash in her neck. The girl fell dead
at his feet, and Warner made no attempt
to escape. He was at once arrested and
locked up. Lizzie was younger sister
of Barclay Peak, who is now serving a
twenty year sentence for the murder of
his cousin, Kate Anderson.
