1t is rarely that we meet in politics with
SO chivalric and manly letter as this from
the State Chairman of the Democratic par
ty to his predecessor. MI. Ellyson since
he assumed the position has made record
that has not been surpassed in our party fol
twenty-five years for sound judgment, I'M
firing watchfulness and unfailing energy.
His management of the party in its rela-
lions to the Alliance Democrats last year
was the acme of good sense and broad views,
as our knowledge of it enables us to testify.

more successfully through more uncertain
shoals. When the Virginia Democracy

Harvesting and Packing Cranes.

Grapes ought to be fully ripe before
cut from the vines, as thefhever ripen
after picked or packed. They should be
packed with care, SO as not to destroy
the bloom, and the stems should be cut
short, SO as to be packed without show
ing them. Orchard and Garden gives
the foregoing directions, and also add
vises as follows about shipping the fruit:
When shipped from distant points the
best packages for grapes are cases con-
tanning eighteen 3-pound boxes and
covered baskets holding ten to twelve
pounds. The boxes should be well filled
and weigh full three pounds. All pack
ages should be filled so full that the
cover will draw down tightly on the
contents, holding them firmly in place.
but not so as to bruise the fruit. Near,
by shippers also largely use the covered
baskets, and they are generally consid-
cred to be the most desirable packages.
Many shippers to not far distant points
use flat wooden boxes with hinged COW
ers, measuring about twenty-one inches
long, twelve inches wide and five inches
deep, and holding twenty-five to thirty
pounds. These boxes have to be re-
turned to the seller, and many buyers
object to them for that reason.

WHEY TAKES WINGS.
Doubts Her Going to Be an
Angel.
Mrs. Helen Coburn, a Handsome
Young Wife of Denver, and
Stranger Disappear.

DENVER, Col. Oct. S.-[Associated
Press. Mrs. Helen Coburn, the wife
OF j. B. Coburn, arrived in Denver Sun
day from Boston. Sunday night she
disappeared and no trace of her can be
found.
J. B. Coburn came here about six
weeks ago to secure for himself salts
factory business. He purchased from
Alderman Begley a saloon at 1915 Stan
ton avenue, secured rooms at 1850
Champa street, in the family of Rev.
Hans Z. Hansen, and sent for his young
wife to come TO Denver. She left their
home in Boston on Wednesday OF last
week and arrived in Denver over the
Union Pacific from Kansas City at Z 80
Sunday morning. She was met at The
train by her hus band and taken to the
Champa street rooms.
Late in the afternoon it ia stated that
Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn came down town
and took dinner at Seventeenth-street
restaurant. After dinner he went with
her TO a Curtis-street car, which passes
near their rooms, and saw that she was
safely aboard. He has not seen her
since.
At the house it is said che returned
about 7 o'clock, and after writing note
told the people in the house that she
was going to the postoffice to mail it.
She put on Newmarket coat and hat
and went out. None OF the family have
since seen or heard OF her.
The fact OF her disappearance was re-
ported to the police, and yesterday
every effort was made to find her.
Hotels, lodging-houses and, in fact,
every place where it WAS probable to
find her, was searched without avail,
and last night the mystery seemed
deeper than ever.
When Mrs. Coburn left the house she
had something over 800 in money with
her Ind some very valuable jewelry,
consisting OF diamond and pearl pin
and several diamond rings.
A phrase OF the matter which is most
interesting is the fact that when Mrs.
Coburn got off the train Sunday morn
ing she introduced her husband to
stranger, "a handsome, middle-aged
man." whom she said had been Every
kind" to her on her journey. The hus-
band thanked the stranger and the pair
went away together. The police au-
thorties think that the interesting
stranger can tell something OF the
whereabouts OF Mrs. Coburn.

The Empress of Germany to BE Witness
In a Family SnIt.

BERLIN, Oct. ST. Associated Press. !
A suit which involves the Empress
Augusta Victoria and her near relatives
OF Schleswig Glucksburg, will be called
in the common law courts within few
days and Countess Won Waidersee, nee
Lee, whose first husband was the late
Prince Frederick OF Schleswig and Noer,
will probably be called as a witness.
1t appears that the late Emperor Will
liam, after taking possession OF Schles-
wig Holstein in 1866, tried his utmost
to befriend the deposed dynasty. In
this spirit he sanctioned the marriage
OF his grandson, the present Kaiser
William, with the poverty-stricken
princess of Augustenburg, reviled by
Bismarck at one time as the Countess
Pretender" OF Schleswig and that Of
Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia to
her sister. lie also distributed the
castles and crown estates OF the Holstein
family among its various homeless
members and thus put them on their
feet again.
Among the castles the Emperor Will
lam gave was the Glucksburg Schloss,
which he turned over to Duke Charles
of Schleswig, the husband OF Duchess
Wilhelmina. Both the duke and
duchess are dead, and the present in
cumbent OF the title and castle had con-
sidered himself the undisputed proprie
tor OF Schloss Glucksburg. The specter
of a secret scandal was flashed before
his eyes by woman belonging to the
highest nobility in the country, who
showed him deeds and other legal in
struments to prove that her daughter
was the child of the late Duke Charles,
who, she claimed, left her all his prop
erty and selected Schloss Glucksburg
for her residence. Duke Frederick Fer
dinand, who, like the rest OF the family,
always considered his late uncle a
model Of propriety, refused to believe
the statements, and says the documents
are not sufficient legal evidence. The
woman, therefore, appealed to tho
kaiser, who, however, refused to inter
fere in family affairs. All hopes OF an
amicable arrangement being abandoned,
The case will now be tried in the open

1T JUST FAILED.
The Scheme Laid by Demo-
cratic Registrars
For the Disfranchisement of Re-
publican Voters in the Out
lying Districts.

The desperation of Maricopa county
Democrats is shown in the action of
Democratic registrars appointed by
Recorder Osborne.
In consequence of the recent pressure
brought to bear upon the recorder, that
official made certain Republican APP
pointments and in thus manner the
delinquency Of the Democratic registrars
has been discovered.
In the Cartwright district there was
until recently no Republican registrar.
The district is largely Democratic, there
being but three Republicans in the
precinct. The lately appointed Repub-
lican registrar has canvassed the dis
trict thoroughly and uncovered a state
of affairs, against which THE REPUB.
LICAN warned the ceRral committee
Immediately after the convention.
1t was discovered that not one OF the
three Republicans had been approached
by registrar, and knowing that their
names were already on the great
register they believed, as many others
do, that further registration wa
unnecessary. The Republican official
made an investigation to ascertain
II this Democratic lnattention to duty
was general throughout the district.
He called on several Democrats, but
failed to md one who was not properly
registered. The Democratic registrar
had exhibited commendable pertinacity
in following them, and in many in
stances had called at the houses of
Democratic voters two or three times,
or until he had been able to see them.
In order to do this he had passed the
houses of Republican voters as often as
he had visited the members Of his own
party.
This proves conclusively that the
Democratic official had determined to
unlswfully permit the Republican
voters to disiranchise themselves.
The same condition OF affairs is re-
ported from other outlying districts,
pointing to a conspiracy to fail to COM
ply with the law in the interest of the
Democratic party.
There are now only nine DAYS in
which to register, but the Republican
appointees are vigilant and believe they
will be able to entirely defeat the Demo
cratic scheme to disfranchlse Repub-
lican voters. They hope TO be able to
see that every Republican name will
appear upon the new great register.

Two Painters Battle 600 Feet Above the

Press Joseph Graves and William
Camel have been employed in repaint
ing the cables and guy ropes OF the Can
adam bridge, across Niagara river.
Saturday they swung slender scaffold
200 feet above the swelling stream. At
dusk they quarreled. Camel was seen
to grasp Ratchet and threaten the life
OF his companion. A terrible duel fol-
lowed. Graves grasped the would-be
assassin's wrist, but Camel WAS the
stronger and pressed him to the edge Of
the scaffold. To save himself from fall
ing Graves loosened his hold on Gamel's
wrist aud grasped az rope. Three
quick, sharp blows were struck on his
defenseless head by the assailant. One
slit open Graves skull back Of the left

fell, but was caught between two guy
ropes. With the blood streaming from
his cuts, he elm bed hand over hand up
