When you go 20 the polls in Cincinnati

So In Virginia. II would be foolish for
you to bother yourself" about the Popu-

the scale Of popular strength In Ohio
that the Commercial would not have Its
readers to throw away their votes upon
such a small faction. In Ohio the Popa-
LISTS WIN gravitate to the Republican party

Assassination Of Mayor Harrison.

Chicago was thrown into a state Of ex-
element, such as 1t has not seen since
the Haymarket riots, by the assassination
yesterday OF Mayor Carter Harrison by an
unknown man.

the sensation produced by this murder.

one which last returned him TO the may

get In connection with the Worlds Fair
delighted him greatly. and he came TO
have aspirations for a seat IN the United
States Senate. He was a shrewd politi-
cian--a demagogue, perhaps-but he had
talents of no common order. He did no
little for the advancement OF Chicsgos

him In his lifetime by so many people,

generally conceded by the community. A

s. Nicholas
| am going to tell you a story about a
speckled Hamburg rooster that we
once had. lie had no brothers or sis
tiers, and so we brought him into the
house and fed and petted him. When
he grew older ne became very hand
some, and was the most amusing bird /
ever saw. We would dress him up IN
dolls clothes and wheel him about in Il
dolls carriage. He would walk about
the house, and was very fond OF picking
flies of the windows that reached down
TO the floor. One day was crying on
the stairs, and he hoped up beside me
and began chuCking away, as though
trying to comfort me and asking what l
was crying for. Another time some la
dies came to Mamma, and, as she wa
not in the room, "Cockalorum Jinks"
for that was his nancy came strGtting
into the room and eat down on chair,
with his ieet stretched out in frontofhim
(the way he always sat on Il chair.
When Mamma came into the room, he
jumped of the chair, gave a loud crow,
and strutted out OF the house as though
he had done his duty. Another time a
gentleman came 10 WISH us. ucH ne
rang the doorbell, CockaIorum Jinks
heard him and came around the corner
of the house, and evidently did not like
his appearance, and also knew that he
was stranger. He thought the gen
tleman should not be there, so he be-
gan flying at his feet and biting hem,
the gentleman striking ut his with his
umbrella, until Mamma heard the noise
and came to the door, and CockaIorum
Jinks, thinking there was no more need

lived very solitary life, for none oil

him; and when he did go near them
they would fight with him. suppose
they thought he was too civilized.

Weeks Extradition.

SAN JOSE, CosrA RIGA, Oct. r.
United States Minister Baker, who is
here to urge the propriety OF the extra
dition OF embezzler Weeks upon Presi.
dent Roderquez, made the statement
to-day that the Costa Rican government
is anxious that the United States should
at once enter upon negotiations for an
extradition treaty between the two
countries. ThisAmay give an inkling OF
the reason for the delays which have
been from time to time interposed to
the surrender OF Weeks to the New
York detectives who have come here to
fetch him back. The greater part OF
the foreign diplomatic corps resident
here think it would establish bad pre-.
cedent should weak nation like Costa
Rica surrender n fugitive from a more
powerful country such as Weeks is, in
the absence Of an extradition treaty.
This, too, is having its influence upon
Roderiquez.
