Clymer, N. Y, December 9, was the only
brother of the founder of the New York
Tribune He raised many recruits for
the war, and was himself Lieutenant

was an early abolitionist, a temperance

farmer. he would often board, free of
charge, half dozen tramps through a
severe winter. When all supposed he
was at the point of death. he was asked

Why, no." he replied. "Only l don't

with the hardening of exchange the

By the death of Robert Louis Steven
son at Samoa, says the Tribune, there
passes out of the world of literature one
Of it's most conspicuous and most widely
admired representatives. The sad an
pouncement cannot be called unexpected
for Mr.. Stevenson had been an invalid
for many years. That his life was pro-
longed until this time has been due to
the salubrity Of the climate of Samoa,
which he made his home, the absolute
rest and freedom from anxiety which he
secured in that ocean paradise, and his
indomitable will, which enabled him to
continue his literary work under cir
Gu mstances which would have discour-
aged almost any other writer. But even
in that ideal life and amid such favoring
and congenial environments death has
found him, and now he peacefully
rests upon the summit of one of the
mountains of the island he loved 30 we'll.
His life was one of physical suffering
from earliest childhood, and yet few
writer's of stories can show longer or
more charming list of works.

THE sudden death of Sir John Thomp-
sen, the Canadian Premier, according to
information from an authoritative source
which leaves no room for doubt, was
directly due to the tedious formalities
attending the Royal Council at Windsor.
The session was abnormally long. lasting
one hour and twenty five minutes, dur
ing the whole of which time. according
to usage, all present save the Queen
were compelled to remain standing, in
respectful attitude, without moving.
This severe strain told on the youngest
and most robust of the courtiers present
and completely exhausted the Premier.
When released from the Council Cham
Der he staggered to chair, his CHASTITY
appearance exciting alarm. He immed.
lately became sick and died in seven
minutes.
The accounts of his death were toned
down for the public in order to obviate
the true conclusion that this distin-
guished official was a martyr to the
Queens insisting upon rigorous OBJ
servance of royal forms. When Mr..
Gladstone, the late Prime Minister of
Great Britain, expressed inability to
bear the fatigue he was permitted to sit
during the royal functions at Windsor,
but the Queen never relished departing
from the custom, even in his case. The
Queen herself of late years is always
noticeably exhausted by the tedium of
lengthy councils, and the older Ministers
avoid them whenever it is possible.

Democratic Newspaper Enjoined From Re-
fusing to Publish Republican Matter.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 31.-In the district
court The Daily World-Herald, Demo-
cratic organ, was enjoined from abro-
eating contract made several days
ago, by which the Republican state
central committee leased for the re-
mainder Of the campaign, two columns
on its editorial page, over which it was
to have complete control. A line ap.
peared over the space indicating that
it had been sold to the Republicans. It
created a panic in Democratic circles
when it was known, and many party
protests We're filed without effect. The
paper has declared that the contract
was broken because the Republicans
would not confne themselves to what
the paper thought proper campaign
matter, but insisted on abusing the
opposition. The court granted tenn
porary injunction, and set the case for
hearing Wednesday.

SEVEN SUFF0CATED.
Another Terribly Fatal Fire in a
Badly Constructed New York
Tenement House.
ONE NARROW STAIRWAY
The Only Means Of Exit, and That
Was Efactually Blocked by
the Flames.
ONE NARROW STAIRWAY

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Seven people
were smothered to death by smoke in
tenement house fire at ZIG West Thirty
second stteet. Another woman jumped
from third story window and will
die. The fire came suddenly and cut
off all escape by the stairways In the
excitement, everybody looked only to
his or her own safety, and rushed
down the fire escapes. The following
perished in the building:
George Friedman, years; Levi Fried.
man, years; Annie Appleblat, %
years; Lena Mitchell, "a years; Mrs.
Margaret Killian, 70 years; Jacob Kill
ian, her son, 40 years; George Levy, 20
years, Mrs. Killian's grandson.
Lena Friedman, moIher of the dead
children, jumped from a third-story
window. She was badly crushed and
mangled and will die.
A Narrow Dark Stairway.
The house is 5-story brick tenement,
the ground floor being occupied by
grocery and the upper stories being ar
ranged with front and rear apartments.
There were seven families in the house.
The only means of exit for the people
was by stairway, narrow and dark,
which runs directly up through the
center of the building. On either side
of the tenement are houses which tower
story above the house which was
burned. In the rear of the burned
house is a little yard, 25 feet square,
completely hemmed in by the tall tene.
ments. The fire was discovered at 8
o'clock by passers-by. When police
man came up the door of the tenement
was opened, and on the inside the fire
glowed like torch. He could see that
the stairway was
Being Rapidly Burned Away.
Still there was not sign of life from
the people in the house. To enter the
house meant death. The only hope for
those within was in arousing them by
shouts, in which the policeman was
aided by those who had been attracted
by the fire. Suddenly to the noise of the
flames as they burned away the stair
way, there was added an awful cry.
One Of the tenants in the upper part of
the house had been aroused and stood
at the window of the fifth floor. In
another moment there was not win
dow in the front of the house that did
not contain the wild and frightened
face of some man, woman or child, each
Of them appealing for aid. The faces
in the windows were framed in smoke,
which poured forth in volumes.

YOUNG WOMAN ARRESTED.
Thought She Has Something ito Do With
Green Goods Business.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A stylshly-
dressed, intelligent looking woman,
about ~ years old, was arraigned in the
Yorkville police court, charged with
operating in green goods, and using the
mails for that purpose. No evidence
was taken before the police court, JUS
tice Meade committing the woman di-
rectly into the custody of United States
Commissioner Shields. There was an
evident purpose to keep the particulars
Of the case quiet, and the defendant was
hurried off with all possible haste.
The prisoners name, as it appears on
the records of the Yorkville court, is
Annie Leslie of 1859 Seventh avenue.
1t was learned that Captain Gallagher,
some time ago, received letter from a
man in Illinois enclosing a green goods
circular Of the regulation character.
This circular requested that correspond
ence should be addressed to 300 Third
avenue, New York. Captain Gallagher
found that 900 Third avenue is a coal
and wood Office, where private letter
boxes are rented.
Didn't Know the Nature of the Mail.
A policeman watched the place, and
when Miss Leslie called for her mail, he
arrested her. She declared emphatic
ally that she had never known what
the letter was, and that she was simply
acting for man who employed her.
She then went on to explain that
about three months ago she answered
an advertisement in morning news
paper, and engaged to work for man
named Snow, addressing envelopes.
He would meet her at the coal office or
other points and give her lot of plain
envelopes and list of addresses; she
would transfer the addresses to the en-
velopes and return them to him.
Mr.. Snow asked her if she would get
his evening mail and she agreed to do
so. She disclaimed all knowledge of
her employers home address, or where
he could be found. The police, while
convinced that the couple were acting
in concert, We're unable to apprehend
them.

At Olivia, before Judge Webber, a full
hearing is being given to parties in the
dispute about whether the county seat
of Renville should be retained at Beaver

plea of Beaver Falls against the vote is
that in one precinct the election was
