IN STRANGCERS' ROW.
Another Arrest Newspaper Enterprise"
 A Reign of Terror.

DENVER, Col, Nov. fs.-The police last night arrested man giving the name of Moller, claiming to be an Italian, in a house in Stranglers' row He was an ordinary quarrelsome drunk, but the morning papers with a view to supplying the demand caught him red-handed in the act of strang ling Marie Vendres" Marie is large enough and could without any train ing throw Moller over the house.
 The man Damey, who was indicted for the murder of Lena Tapper, is the most promising "strangler,' but the evidence against him is circumstan tial. The mar Rock, who was ar rested last week, the police claim tc have some damaging evidence against but they will not divulge it at present.
 The residents of Market street are very nervous and superstitious, and the least disturbance, though formerly of hourly occurrence, is now sufficient to create panic and develop a new strangler They have put in electric bells and employed watehmen to be constantly on hand.

The Commercial Arrangements In the New
 Convention Between Them Under Con-
 sideration.
 WASHINGTON. Nov. fs.-Secretary Carlisle was in conference with Secre- tary Gresham and Minister Kurino yesterday, considering the commercial arrangements in the new convention between the United States and Japan, which has been practically completed, and now only awaits the signatures of Mir. Gresham and Mir Kurino to be submitted to the senate for it's app proval.
 The treaty, which is the result of ne gotiations extending over several years, does not differ in any material features from that recently ratified by Japan and Great Britain, the impor- tant clauses regar ding the abolition of consular Jurisdiction in the treaty ports and the opening of all Japan to foreign trade remaining almost iden- tieal.
 Secretary Carlisle was consulted in relation to the immigration clause and those articles which are affected by our tariff laws. It was announced that the treaty would probably be sent to ! the senate the first week in Deeem- Der.

REV. DR. JAMES M'COSH,
The Venerable Ex-President of Princeton College, Passes Peacefully Away After Long and Useful Life.

 The Venerable Ex-President of Princeton
 College, Passes Peacefully Away After
 Long and Useful Life.
 NEW YORK. Nov. fs-Rev Dr. James McCosh, the venerable ex-president of Princeton college, died Friday evening at the institution which he did so much to build up, aged s4 years. Dr. McCosh had been critically i'll for two weeks. He did not suffer from any special ail- ment, but died from physical weakness and old age.
 Mrs. Alexander Maitland and Mrs. David Magic, the doctors daughters, and Dr. Andrew !. McCosh, the attend ing surgeon of the Presbyterian hospi- tai in this city, were with the venerable educator when the end came. The dis tinguished patient passed away calm ly, without pain.
 Dr. MeCosh will always be remem- bered as the man that did more than any other to make Princeton great university. He assumed the presidency in ls6s, coming direct from Queens col legc, Belfast, Ireland, where he filled the chair of logic and metaphysics. His very first message to the trustees resulted in an almost immediate broadening of the scope of Princeton's IS education. It contained eight recom- mendations, on of which, the sugges- tion that the growth of a scholarship fund for needy students be fostered, has played a prominent part in the life of the college. It was at once carried out and Princeton is now almost un- rivaled in this respect. Another rec ommendation of equal importance was that which led to the establishment of number of elective courses. Money began to pour into the empty coffers of the institution and the number of stu dents increased until accommodations were outgrown.
 Then came the array of buildings which sprang up during Dr. McGosh's s time, among which may be mentioned IIalstead observatory, 1869; the gym nasium, 1s69 Reunion hall, 1870; the library, 1873; the school of science, 1873; University hall, 1876; Wither- spoon hall, 1877; observatory of in- struction, 1878; Murray hall, 1s79; Marquand chapel, 1881, and the biolog- ical laboratory, 1887.
 In 1887 Dr. McCosh, feeling that he could not long fulfill his arduous du- ties as president retired voluntarily, and was succeeded by Dr. Patton. He still, however, continued his relations with the college, giving a series of lee lures in philosophy for several years. A al | I I continued as clear as ever, and only a slight lowing of the frame and a few furrows in the cheek indicated the ray ages of time. Only last spring he com pleted valuable work on ethics.

WOMEN IN THE PULPIT.
The Gallant DIvInes of Cleveland, O., Sur render Their Churches to the Female Ad. voeates of Temperance

fehder Iheir churches to the Female Ad-
 vocates of Temperance.
 CLEVELAND, O., Nov. f9.-From nearly every pulpit in this city yester- day the voice of an earnest woman was raised in the cause of temperance. The local ministers almost without excep- tion allowed their pulpits to be occu- pied by delegates or visitors to the con- vention of the ". c. T. U. The con- gregations were large
 In the afternoon at Music hall an evangelistic meeting was conducted by Miss E. W. Greenwood, Evangelis- tie uperintendent of the National ". C. T. U. The annual sermon was delivered by Rev. J. W. Bashford, pres. ident of Wesleyan university, Dela- ware, o. Fully 5,ooo people attended the services.
 Immediately following the evangelis- tic meeting q gospel suffrage meeting was held. It was one of the most not able gatherings of the convention. Rev. Anna Shaw, of Boston, who preached in Unity church in the morn ing, presided. The center of attraction was Susan E. Anthony, president of the National Womans Suffrage associa- tion. Miss Anthony is 75 years old, and for nearly fifty years has led the movement for the enfranchisement of the women of America When Miss Anthony was introduced the immense audience rose to its feet and greeted her with long-eontinued applause and waving handkerchiefs. She predicted the overthrow of the monster of in- temperance when the ballot is put in the hands of the mothers, wives and daughters of the land. The speaker predicted that universal suffrage was bound to come and pointed with pride to the action of the last Ohio legisla- ture in giving to women the right to vote on educational matters.
 Referring to the recent defeat of the woman suffrage movement in New York and Kansas, Miss Anthony said that while the cause had been lost in both states, it meant simply more work on the same line
 Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, spoke briefly, advocating universal suffrage, compulsory voting and an educational qualification.
 A meeting of the executive committee of the National Suffrage association will be held at the home of Mrs South worth, a prominent local suffragist, this afternoon. The executive com mitte of the Ohio state association meets at Unity church tomorrow morning.

THE NAPOLEON REVIVAL.
hhy the Emperor Is tho Most Popular
 Character in History.

tnhraCtek Tn
 Within the past year there has been I revival of interest in the career of Napoleon Bonaparte that is almost phenomenal. In literature he has fig nred in the pages of memoirs and rem iniscences by those who came into more and less intimate contact with him. In art not only has he been po- tent inspiration to modern painters and sculptors, but he has made price less all pictorial records of his time. In the drama he poses as the most pictur- esque figure that has been brought upon the stage within the century. Personal relics of the man are held as sacred and beyond all price. As Paul Bourget aptly says, Napoleon has hypnotized the French people again" In France the sting of defeat after the Franco-Prussian war turned the thoughts of all to their period of great est glory, and so It needed but time to see Napoleon enshrined as an idol. An equally logical explanation is found for the most notable feature of the Ma poleon revival in this country.
 The Century's life of the emperor was projected hVe or six years ago, before anyone could have foreseen the pres ent attitude of the public mind. Ii was undertaken solely with the idea that Napoleon was one of the greatest, most fereeful and picturesque charae- ters in the entire range of history, and that hitherto he had been inadequate " represented. For that reason Prof. William M. Sloane, the greatest Amer ican student of French history. was commissioned to write the life. and his years of study among unpublished archives have brought out his com pleted labor at the most opportune mo- ment. And Prof Sloane shows us q new Napoleon, devourer of books, an unsuccessful literary aspirant, an inef feetual Corsiean political agitator, but the new Napoleon certainly makes the old Napoleon more easily compre- hended.

 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind Nov 1s.=Dubois and Sullivan counties have sent in their official returns to the secretary of state, completing the list of eoun- ties to report The returns have all been tabulated, but on account of the elamorons demand of the newly-eleeted county officials for their certificates the official footings of the returns have not as yet been made.

Of all cases Of consumption can, ii taken ill the earlier stages of the disease, be cured. This may seem like q bold assertion to those familiar oIly with the means gener- ally ill use for its treatment; as nasty cod liver oil and its filthy emuisions, extract of malt, whiskey, different preparations of hypophosphites and such like paHfdfizes.
 Although by many believed to be incura, blc there is the evidence of hundreds Of living witnesses to the fact that, ill all its earlier stages, consumption IS curabie disease Not every case, but large per ceHIage o( cases, and we believe, fnILr o5 be, fcnE are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedngs from tie lungs severe lingering cough with eopieHs expeetefation (inelud ing tubereular fnatter), great loss Of flesh and extreme cancellation and weakness.
 Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by Golden Med ical Discovery were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease? You need not take cur word for it. They have ill nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever III nils- representing them and whe were often strongly prejudiced and advised against q trial of "Goldcn Medical Discovery but wlio have been forced to confess that it surpasses i'll curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and it's filthy "emulsions and mixtures, had been tried ill nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for a short time Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophos- phtes had also been faithfully tried i'll vain.
 The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis. lingering coughs asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred ina1adies, have been skillfully reproduced i'll book of I6o pages which will be mailed to you, oil re ceipt of address and six cents ill stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their experience.
