James ii. Sweeney " rites Admitting He Il
Very Much Alive.


Very Much Alive.
James H. Sweeney, who was reported to
have committed suicide by drowning last
week at McKee's Rocks is now in Cleve-
land, O., from which place he has written
letter to the girl supposed to be his wife.
Sweeney wrote a notice upon the rocks
stating that he intended to commit suicide
and wrote letter to one of the evening
papers to the same effect But all this was
a ruse to deceive his creditors.
Sweeney stated in his letter written just
before he disappeared that his wife, who
he said had been unfaithful to him, was the
cause of all his trouble. James A. Murphy
was mentioned, too, as being implicated;
but now Mr.. Murphy explains that he
could not have caused trouble between
Sweeney and his wife because Sweeney had
no wife, which is evidently true. as Swee-
ney in his letter to his supposed wife asks
her to come to Cleveland and marry him.

candidates for Congress In that State TO secure spehcS
from other parts of the country TO address the people
Of Kansas political questions during the campaign.
In speaking of the outlook in that much"dlscusseo
commonwealth Mr.. Smith said that the Republican
candidates for Congress in the several districts con-
sututed the strongest delegation ever placed before
tho people Of Kansas. 1t is the aim OF the Repub-
ucans there, he said, to clear up the state, elect
tho Presidential electoral ticket. the state Ticket ana
all the Congressman. The campaign was opened
along the whole lire on the lst VI september, and
two picked spoke in every Congress district.
Nearly all the Congress candidates have already made
from thirty to fifty speeches. One of them mas
spoken seventy times. Democratic fusion on the
electoral ticket with tho Peoples party has disguised
q great many Democrats, who will vote with the
Republicans to the reputation Of the state winch
they consider be In jeopardy The Republicans have

THE DEPARTMENT ASKED NOT TO SEND MEN
WHO ARE TOO CLEVER.
Washington, Sept. s-The Navy Department has
selected three OF last years graduating class OF Naval
cadets TO pursue an advanced course In naval arch
lecture abroad, and three young men, with three
Others who have already taken years study, wero
ordered to the University Of Glasgow and the POly
technlc School Paris Fol some years II has been
the policy OF the Navy Department TO select two or
three OF the leading of each years graduating
class at Annapolis for course OF study at the TWO
leading scientific schools Of Europe, preparatory 10
appointing them assistant Naval Constructors. Al
these schools the American cadets have always taken
q much higher standing than the native Students
and for the last few years one Of our represen-
tativcs has always kd the class. which has been
source OF much pride TO Naval officers, especially
Us the foreigners have great advantage In age.
Last spring the Department was given to under
stand that detailing cadets for this advance course
IL might be well TO mako tho selections not from the
pink OF the graduates. but rather from those who
stood near the middle OF their class, in order 1t Is
said TO give the foreign students more equal show
for class honors. Whether this will be done or not
in the future is problematcal but judging from the
standing OF cadets chosen to-day, 1t would appear
that tho Department is disposed to adhere TO It's
original plan Blunt and Mcdonald. who go to
staud high IN their class, and spear and Zahm did
equally well at Annapolis. The two latter have al
really taken one year ut Glasgow ana Will pleto
their term Of instruction next May.
