PURITANs IN THE SADDLE.
Senator Hill Makes Sharp Comments
New York Police Commissioners.

Senator Hill Makes Sharp Comments on
New York Police Commissioners.
NEW YORK. July Ex-senator Hill has
written two letters in reply to requests
for an opinion as to the propriety of re-
questing the governor to call an extra
session of the legislature for the enact
ment of a more liberal excise law. In
one to Theodore Nj. Roche, president of
the Young Mems Democratic club, he
said:
81 should certainly favor the sugges-
tion if it is believed it would result in
any practical relief. ! realize the arbi-
trary, harsh and technical manner in
which the law is now being enforced by
the busy body and notoriety-seeking po-
lice commissioners of your city, but
fail to discover any effectual remedy in
the suggestion of an appeal to the gov
ernor and the present legislature.
tits evident that Gov. Morton would
not grant the application, and if granted
the present legislature would not afford
the relief desired. Those who are urg-
ing a legislative session seem to overlook
the fact that the Puritans are now in the
saddle.
'Relief can only be anticipated
through the action of Democratic leg
islature to be chosen next fall with a
Democratic majority sufficient to pass a
liberal measure over governors veto"
The second letter to Benjamin HOf-
man of New York is of similar tenor.

Mrs. Mary Frost Gets 1880 Damages, De-

Mrs. Mary Frost Gets 1900 Damages, De-
spite MT. Birds EIoquencs.
At noon today the jury in the case of
Mrs. Mary Frost. against the city of To-
peka returned a verdict for 81, 800 in IA
vor of the plaintiff. The jury had been
out only few minutes A dozen or more
special findings which had been put to
the jury by the attorneys for both sides
were most of them answered.
Mrs. Frost fell on a defective culvert
at Eighth and Lawrence streets May IL,
1892. She received injuries which she
claims have crippled her for life. Before
the fall Mrs Frost was dependant to
some extent on the poor commissioner
for support. In fixing the damages at
$1,000 the jury allowed $500 for mental
suffering, 1918 foE permanent injuries
and $82 for doctors bills.
The trial of the case occupied nearly
two days in the district court In his
speech to the jury last evening City At
tOrney Bird became so eloquent that
tears came to.his own eyes as we'll as
some of the spectators. His tears, how
ever. were of no avail. Reed and Ches-
ney were Mrs. Frost's lawyers. The case
may be appealed.

The employment of naphtha as
cleansing substance in the securing of
wool is a new method favorably COM
mented upon by the scientific papers.
By the use of a pump the naphtha is
forced through and through the wool,
extracting all the natural oil, it being
also claimed that the naphtha does not
iniure the fibre of the wool, as does
aIkah cleansing, but leaves the fleece
in an actually better condition than
when cleansed by any other process. A
further valuable feature mentioned Of
this method is that the greece that IS
extracted from the wool in a pure state,
thereby becoming valuable as medic
ipaI agent or for a saponification into
the purest of soaps. A plant following
this method is said to have secured 50O,-
600 bounds of wool and had saved a
product of $4,000 pounds in pure wool
oil

A CARD.

To the Republican Voters of Shawnee County:
l regret that it becomes necessary for
me to deny through the press the many
false reports now being circulated by
few irresponsible men concerning my
candidacy for sheriff of Shawnee county.
1t has been repeatedly stated that am
running in the interest of D. n. Burdge.
l desire here and now to deny such re-
port and to- characterize it as a wilful
and malicious attempt to injure me and
thus build up the support of another
candidate.
1 entered the race for sheriff upon my
own responsibility. Iconsulted no one and
have not made com binations with other
candidates. II l cannot win on my own
merits and upon my record as Republi-
can and citizen of this county of thirty
years. standing, I do not want the of
fee.
1 hope to have the support of the busi-
ness men. citizens and all Republicans
who desire the office of sheriff honestly
and faithfully administered. l have
lived among this people over a quarter
of century and feel that l have contrib
uted my share in the upbuilding of To-
peka and the state of Kansas. l am an
old soldier, entering the army at the age
of IA. l am in sympathy with labor and
laboring men because l am one of them.
l appeal for the support of all Republi-
cans. entered this fight to win and
expect to be the next sheriff of Shawnee
county. GEO. H. EVANS.

CAN PURIFY POLITICS.
President Turner of Christian Endeavor
Says 1t Ought and Can Be Done.


Boston, July 12.-The third day of
the Fourteenth International Christian
Endeavor convention opened with ideal
weather All of the churches were we'll
filled at these early meetings and it is
estimated that fully 1000 persons partici-
pated in them. The morning sessions of
the convention in tents Williston and
Endeavor and in Mechanics hall were
attended by the same great hosts that
were there Yesterday.
Addresses on the Cardinal Principles
of Christian Endeavor" were made at
Mechanics building by Rev. Knight
Chaplin, D. D., of London and Rev.
0. II. Smith, D. D., of Evansville, Ind. in

Sydney, N. s W., and in tent Endeavor
by Raw. J. l. Lamont of Belfast, Ireland,
aud Rev. s. P. Rose, D. D. of Montreal
Owing to the international fame of the
speakers, these addresses attracted much
attention.
The address of President Turner, D. D.,
of Lincoln, ILL.,, whose subject was II
Ought, Therefore Can," was delivered
in Mechanics building, which was heart
lily received and produced much enthusi-
asm.
President Turner in his address said:

DEVELOPING PRINTS.


New and Interesting Method of Doing
the Work Lately Discovered.
A valua BILE paper has been read before
the Photographic section of the Ameri-
can Institute by H. J. Newton, explain
ing a new and interesting method of
developing Photographic prints on
paper with coal tar products in aka
line solutions. He expresses the belief,
from observation and the Investigations
he has made, that prints resulting by
development from bromide of silver are
absolutely permanent. The bromide
paper was first made in Europe, and the
first prints were on imported paper.
An important consideration, of course,
is the keeping quality of such paper be-
fore using as well as after; and as to
this the statement is made that sam
pies have been kept some three years
and a half without any sign of deteri-
grafton being exhibited, the maHdfact-
urers also declaring that the material
when five years old is as good as when
first made. Different alkalies do not
perform or prodiice a uniform effect on
paper manufactured at different estab-
hshments Again, the carbonates pro-
duce a browner black than the caustic
after all, depend to a certain extent
upon the bromide in the developer-par-
ticularly noticeable being the effect of
an addition of bromide of soda to the
developer.

BRUTE OF APOLICE JUDGE
He Disgraces the Bench of Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, No, July 12-J. L. Birch
kowsky, who keeps a small dry goods
store at 215 Independence avenue, caught
a rat in a trap yesterday. Instead of
killing the rat outright the neighbors say
he got kettle of hot water and poured
small stream on the rats back. The
squeaking caused the neighbOrs to gath
er at Birchkowsky's store. J. B. Dawes
of 533 Grand avenue and N. W. Wicker
of 51218 Independence avenue, went to
the office of the Humane society and told
Agent J. c. Greenman. He made an in
vestigation and started out to find Police
Judge Jones, for the purpose of having
warrant issned for BirchkOwsky for cru
city to animals.
He explained to the judge that man
who would torture a rat to death would
do the same to cat, dog or horse. be
thought that while rats are no earthly
use to the best of his knowledge, they
should be killed with as little pain as
possible. Judge Jones was not of the
pests and should be gotten rid of in any
manner possible. He thought that 1t
was no more cruel to catch one of the
great family of rodents in a steel trap
and let it die by degrees than it would be
to scald one to death
"The ordinance" said the judge, Sun
der which Greenman wishes to have
Brichkowsky arrested contemplates cru
city to animals. such as cats, dogs and
horses, and does not take into con sidera-
tiOn the manner of killing rats" The
warrant was not issued.

A Convention of Those Interested Meets
Today in Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 12-A convention
of Maryland citizens interested in the sill
yer question began here today. The call
designated the assemblage as mass
meeting" but the attendance was limited
to about a score. Mr. E. NJ. Burchard of
Hyattsville, Md. who had projected the
convention, explained. that the small
attendance was because "the farmers
are very busy now and every body is at
work" Mr.. Burchard made a long ad-
dress, attributing the hard times to de-
probation of silver.
Chairman Field said the main fight
was against national banks as the repre-
sentatives of the money power. A
discussion ensued' as to the adopt
ing means to disseminate silver lit
erature among the farmers and Iaborers.
This led to the differences of opinion be-
tween the Populists, Democrats and Re-
publicans present as to the proper
methods, some urging that there should
be no affliatiOn with parties.

METALLIC YARN.
Carpets Now Being Made by AiG of Such
MateriaI


Material.
The durability of carpets is now made
greater il is said, by the introduction
of metallic yarns in the fabric, greater
strength being thus assured than by the
simple use Of yarns made from animal
or vegetable f1bres, the idea being, brief
ly, the foundation of a metal coating ON
an inferior surface, and weaving the
strands in certain proportions A non
oxidizable metal is employed, and this is
dissolved and applied to the surfaces Of
threads. rendering them like metal in
appearance and general characteristics;
the metallic composition is said to con-
sist of aluminium, borax, alum, litharga
and wax. these, combined with white
lead and one or two other substances,
producing metallic coating thai .is ffex-
ib1e and soft as common paint would be,
yet to all appearances the covering is
similar to metal, very much resembling
aluminium. Various substances are
adapted for the core or body of the
thread, such as wood. pulp, jute, cotton,
fax, etc, and the metallic coating is
applied to the yarns automatically, the
device for this purpose consisting of
chamber in which the ingredients are
placed and through which the yarns are
drawn, the coating adhering to the sur
face of the threads.

BRIBERY CHICAGO.
Direct Testimony Against Sons of the
City's Aldermen.

OAEeCS 4SSt1mOHY Against SONS OF Ena
City's Aldermen.
CHICAGO. July 12.-The special grand
jury which is Investigating the charges
of bribery brought against Alderman
FinkIer and Martin heard mass of tes-
timonY today in regard to the alleged
bribery of city officials by officers of var
ious ice companies.
Max Worthsman, an ice salesman, went
before the jury and gave the names OF
several firms which, he alleged had given
bribes to prevent the passage of an or
dinance regulating the sale of ice. It
was said that several wealthy icemen
were likely to be indicted with the alder
men.
The grand jury also took up the
charges of bribery freely made in con-
nection with the passage of the Calumet
6 Blue Island railroad ordinance. 1t
was said on good authority that witnesses
at today's session gave ample proof that
bribery was used in passing the ordinance
and that the names of several aldermen
who had accepted money were given.

GO TO THE POLLS.

AS the nomination of county officers at
Republican primaries is almost equiva-
lent to an election it is important in the
interests of good government and
ticket satisfactory to the masses of the
party that all Republicans go to the
primaries tomorrow and express their
choice. The polls open at o'clock and
remain open till in the evening. The
full list of voting places and the qualii-
cations of voters will be found in the Off
cial call on the seventh page. 1t will be
a wise thing, too, for representative Re-
publicans to be on hand promptly at 2
o'clock to effect an organization which
will be generally admitted as fair and
impartial.
