what Plucky Woman Did to Man

What a Placky Woman Did to Man
who Tried to Impose Upon Her.
Talking about pure grit, said wom-

Colonial club, II knew woman once who
was full of It."
"Tell us about her" exclaimed the other
two women Of the luncheon party "Who
was sheY'
"Why. she was my mother" answered
the first speaker. "She was the littlest lit
tie woman ever saw, but there was cour-

regiment | don't mean that she was
naeRing creature, making trouble for
everybody. She was the sweetest, kindest
woman in the world. II was only when
somebody Tried to impose on her. or on
some of us girls, that she came out as

and youth see what mean
"Well, we were living In Iowa when my
father, a minister, by the way, died and
left mother to manage farm and to
care for big family Of girls. The grain
was high in the field and it had to be cut
at once. Mother entered into negotiations
with a neighbor and was Just about to
close trade with him when she discovered
that he was irving to verreach-insisting
on terms that were exorbitant and abb
surd.
"Mother told him that she'd get some
bodv else to cut the grain. and that made
him so angry that he was quite rude in his
speech But mother shut the door in his
face and left him to have his sputter out
all by himself
mrhat night about O'Clock mother was
awakened by noise out in the yard. She
slipped out of bed and peered through the
window. There was that same farmer en-
gagged in taking down the bars of the
fence that surrounded the field Of grain
that mother wouldn't let him cut. The

for a minute. and the nextmmuee he came
back driving yoke Of oxen, which he
turned loose into the field"

asked one of the listeners
"She didn't say anything"
Didn't she tell him to take that cattle
right out of the tield2"
'No, indeed that was not her way of do
ing things. What she did first was to
dress herself. Then she stole quietly down
stairs and went out into the yard. Then
she went to the barn and got an OK goad
Then she bounded to the grain field and
drove the oxen out of it,"
"And then she went back to bed, sup

LONDON, Nov. S.-The Times this
morning testifes to the general surprise
at the result OF the elections in New
York state. The Republicans, it says,
have won great triumph and the DEM
ocrats have grounds for serious fears;
but, it adds, it Is Tammany hall who
were buf1eted for Cleveland.
They knew that even the easy going,
good natured American public will not
stand corruption OF too fragrant type
on the part OF u judicial officer. 1t re-
mains to be seen, after the declaration
on the part OF New York state, whether
Mr.. Cleveland's appointment Of
Mr.. Hornblower to be justice Of the SUI
preme court will really stand. Perhaps,
the Times says, Mr.. Cleveland may now
think it better to break with Tammany
Hall and to throw over Mr.. Horn
blower.
The Times thinks that the result of
the elections points TO a re-
action against Mr.. Cleveland and
tariff reform. The chance Of car
rying or even proposing real
tariff reforms is extremely problemati-
cal, but Mr.. Cleveland lie strong man,
and may show equal determination
with regard to the tariff as he did on
the silver question.

NORTH BAY, ONT, Nov. s.-A frishtful
fatality, word of which reached here at
late hour last night, occurred on Lake
Nipissing, which resulted in the loss of
large number OF lives and the de-
struction of valuable vessel. The
steamer Frazer was proceeding up the
lake, and when about twenty-four miles
west of North Bay. near what is known
as Goose Island, fire was discovered on
board. All efforts to extinguish it
proved unavailing, and the entire veH-
sci was coon wrapped in flames. The
number on board the unfortunate ves-
sci has not been positively ascertained,
but no less than twenty lives have been
lost. The announcement OF the calam.
ity has caused great excitement in
North Bay, and further particulars are
being eagerly awaited. Seven people

being badly burned.

The Leader has hoisted the name OF

GERMAN DEMOCRATs

In Ohio Refused to Vote for NcRl-outh-
waitO's District Goes for Mckinley.
CoLUMBUs, O., Nov. s.-The latest re-
turns show that Mckinley has carried
this congressional district by S73. The
district is represented by Mr.. 0uth-
waite. Ex-Governor CampbelPs plural
ity in it two years ago was $500. At
this rate the people here are preparing
themselves for all sorts OF surprises relat-
ing to McKinley's gains. 1t is also set
tied, as indicated in these dispatches
yesterday, that the German Democrat
wards OF this city did not Uurn out Dem
ocratic votes as usual. Some OF those
who could not vote for Neal refused to
vote. Local candidates for county Of
fees had carriages going continually to
bring out those Democratic voters, but
according to one OF the workers in
charge OF some OF the carriages some Of
the Germans said they did not want to
vote and would not 20 to the polls.

RICHMOND, VA. Nov. s.-Returns
thus far of the election held in this
state Yesterday have all been reported
by majorities, and therefore it is i'm
possible to tell even approximately the
number OF votes cast. Two things are
certain, however. One is that the
Democrats did not poll their usual
strength and the other is that the Re-
pnbIicans did not support the Pop
ulists.
Official and unofficial returns indicate
that the Democrats have carried
twenty-three senatorial districts, the
Populists one, and one district is still
in doubt. The Democrats have fifteen
members Of the senate who hold over.
OF the members elected to the house OF
delegates the Democrats will probably
have 90 out OF the 100 elected. 1ndica-
tions lead to the belief that the Demo-
cratic majority in the state will reach
10000

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The following tele.
gram was received tonight:
HAMILTON, o., Nov. s. 1898.
70 MelgiLe Z. Stone, Gearal Manager As
Sociatcd Press:
Replying to your inquiry, I believe
that the result OF the recent election
shows that Ohio was merely sharing in
the general shaking up which the DEM
ocratic party is receiving all along the
line from Massachusetts to Iowa. The
business depression is attributed by
the partisan and 'unthinking por-
ton OF our people to the
present federal administration. The
ex-soldiers are somewhat moved by the
needless fear that they will not be just
" and literally dealt with. There is a
natural ebbing OF the tide from the great
flow OF last year. There are sore and
disappointed applicants foroftice. These
are the causes Of the defeat. The fear
OF tariff revision had nothing to do with
it whatever

BAY STATE REPUBLICANS.

Massachusetts, thoroughly Rcdcemed-An
Unexpectedly Largo Majority.
Boston, Nov. s.-The result of the
election in Massachusetts to-day can
only be described as huge political
landslide. For the first time in three
years the state will have a Republican
governor and his plurality is $4,000 at
the least The whole ticket is elected
with him and the legislature is solidly
Republican in both branches.
The most sanguine Republicans had
not claimed over 1900 for Greenhalge.
The astonishing result ls attributed by
those Democrats who will talk about 1t
TO the present industrial depression,
aided by the fact that Massachusetts is
normally Republican state.

New YoRK, Nov. Son August 81 OF
this year Philip NJ. scheig, who had
long been the trusted paying teller OF
the Bank OF Minneapolis, in the city OF
that name, decamped with 100000 OF
the banks funds. In accomplishing
the theft he was aided by two brothers,
Lou and frank Floyd.
The theee men went to st. Louis from
Minneapolis and after purchasing an
expensive camping outfit. went down
to Tennessee to enjoy the pleasures OF
an outdoor life. firing OF this they
started to Europe, arriving in New
York on the 10Th and procured passage
on the steamer Wadworth, bound for
Southampton. The vessel met with
an accident when she was but a
little way on her voyage and put
back to this port. Frank Floyd and
Philip schieg resolved not to wait for
repairs to be completed, but engaged
passage on the steamship Spree and
went to Southampton on that vessel on
her last trip. Lou Floyd decided to
wait on board the Wadworth until Ie-
pairs had been completed. The New
York police had been on the lookout
for the trio, and tonight one OF In
spector McLaughlin's men captured
Lou Floyd on board the Wadworth.
The authorities at Southampton have
been cabled. 1t was the intention OF
Philip schieg and Frank Floyd to go to
Rio Janeiro from England.

WHAT NI,KINLEY SAYS.

Tho Ohio Results n Great Victory for Pro-
tection-Neal's Challenge and Its Conse.
quences.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. SIN reply to an
inquiry from General Manager Stone, of
the Associated Press, as the causes Tor
the result in Ohio, Gov. Mckinley to-
dav states that Lawrence 4. Neal, the
Democratic candidate for governor, was
recognized rs much as free trader US
lie Mckinley was an advocate OF pro-
lection. At the Chicago national con-
vention last year that nominated Cleve-
land for President, Neal was the author
Of the anti.tariff plank and had it insert
ed in the platform in place OF the plank
reported by Cleveland's friends OF the
committee on resolutions. In his OPEN
ing speech in this campaign at Newark,
Ohio, Mr.. Neal not only said that his
campaign would DO fought on the lines
OF the Chicago platform which had been
incorporated into the state platform in
which lie stood, but he also so clearly
defined his position boldly as a free
trader, that the two candidates were re-
cognized throughout the canvass as en-
bodying in the views; that this issue
had never before been SO distinctly pre-.
senied to the people.
ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE.
"The next day after Meals speech at
Newark" says Governor Mckinley, II
accepted his Interpretation OF the issue
as represented by us respectively, and
We fought it out on that line in over
lOC public meetings OF each candidate
that followed, and they were invariably
addressed in accordance with the chal-
lenge at Newark and its prompt accept
anCe."
Governor Mckinley said the returns
would speak more torcibly than he was
able to do, ana he knew OF nothing that
he could add except to say that hereto
lore the campaigns had been conducted
with complications Of issues, but that
this time the fight was centersd on pro-
lection with the leader Of free trado
clearly defined in his position and the
tariff issue fully presented at every
meeting OF all parties in the canvass.
Governor Mckinley otEicei is thronged
to-day again, and it has become impos-
sble for him personally to keep up
with the reading OF all the congratula-
tory kilograms. These dispatches come
from shops and business circles as well
as politicians.
