Prepared though she was for
the shock the news that her
BILE furnishings and ornaments were to
be sacrificed to the torch came upon the
lady with appalling force. Without
man of her own kin to advise her, she
was at first at loss to know what
course to pursue. She realized that I'M

must be carried ont and that her home
would che next day lie smoking and

far away. Even were they at hand it
was doubtful If they could succeed
against the great odds opposed to them
in a fight for the preservation of this
great property.

seemed like ages, with the seconds eat

upon an inspiration she sent for a trusty

horse on the place, and while he was en-

Appeal to the Secretary of War
| She had known Mr.. Stanton in former
years, and felt that perhaps she could
persuade him at least to stay the execu-

was written, and the rider dashed at top

TO take her appeal to Washington and
to bring back the reply, if reply should

THE REGISTRATION.

Last Tuesdays registration was
fully up to the expectations OF those
who believed that Chicago's list Of
legal voters would go beyond the
800, 900 notch and be the largest on
record In the history OF this city.
Over $4,000 additional names were
added to the registry Tuesday, O;
which about 1900 were those OF
women.

votes will not fall far short Of verif.
cation.
In the enormously heavy Republi.
can registration Of Oct. 10 that party
shot its bolt, while the Democrats,
though holding their own, did not
exhaust their strength and resources
until the second day. A glance ut
the figures from the leading Republi.
can aud Democratic wards will show
the truth OF this statement.
In the Republican Fourth Ward,
for instance, the total registration on
the second day was but l.152, not
much over One.sixth the number reg

Democratic First Ward the second
days registration was o,2l2, just one.

did the Republicans In theirs. 1t

reasonable claim on the part of
the Democratic leaders that at
