Visitors to Washington fnd the house where
Lincoln died Of deepest interest since Comrade
o. ii. Oldroyd has been its occupant, with his
large and interesting collection of Lincoln
relics, removed from Springfield, Ill.
Until Gov. Altgeld became Chief Executive
OF the State of Illinois, or from 1888 to 1898.
Comrade Oldroyd was Custod ian OF the Lincoln
Homestead, where his collection was in part
made, though he has been for more than 30
years, or since the Presidential campaign of
1860. getting these things together.
This collection contains nearly 5000 speci-
mems directly connected with tho life and
death of the martyred President. 1t includes
portraits, proclamations calls for troops, badges
manuscripts, pieces of furniture and furnish
ings gifts from foreign nations, etc, and the
chair in which Lincoln sat when he was shot
by the assassin Booth, the upholstery splotched
with his blood.
In 1898, by request of the Memorial Asso.
citation Of the District of Columbia, Com rade
Oldroyd removed 10 the house in which Lin
coin died, opposite Ford's Theater. The asso.
citation, of which Gen. J. NJ. Schofed is Prcsi-
dent, incurred the preliminary expenses and
paid the rent, expecting that the Government
would purchase the property as a permanent
memorial of Lincoln.
But when tho adjournment came and no ap-
preparation had been made, the association dc.
termined TO give up their efforts and close the
house, when, by the advice Of many prom nent
men and women. and with the Endorsement of
Commander in.Chiof Thomas G. Lawler and
National President Emma X. Wallace Com rade
Oldroyd determined to publish book, entitled

devoted to the payment of expenses until such
time as Congress shall see fit to act.

SEVEN MEN LOST.
Their Boat Encountered Waves She Could
 Not Withatand.

NOC "1GhSCanOs
 BUFFALO, Aug. 21.-By the capsizing of the small pleasure yacht Rung Brothers men of the 13 on board were drowned. That there was not a greater loss of life is due to the nearness of a tug.
 A strong wind had been blowing, and when the open water of the lake was reached just near the city on the trip homeward the small craft encountered waves she was ill able to withstand. There was no real danger, however, so long as the boat was kept head on to the waves, but when the turn was made to enter the harbor heavy seas struck her from the side. Before the boat had time to right herself from the blow of one of these an- other swept over her, completely engulfng the boat and all on board.
 Following arc the names of the missing: Frank Buggmann, married; Jacob Bau- mann, married; Henry Schindlcr, mar ried; Charles Fischer, Thomas K. Can- non single; fireman, name unknown; stranger, name unknown.
 Most of the life preservers on board were loose and easily grabbed by those who had tic opportunity. The skylight over the engine was f1oated off as the boat sank, and this was seized by some of the men. Two men grabbed one life preserver and went down.
 A tug happened to be passing near the scene of the accident and rescued four of the men from the waves. Two members of the life saving service were also near, and they succeeded in saving two half drowned members of tho excursion party These six were all who were rescued.

HOLMES SHE'D TEARS.
Exhibited His Feelings Over an Allego' Telegram From Minnie Williams.

Telegram From Minnie Williams.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.-A startling revelation came to light in the Holmes ease. W. A. Shoemaker, counsel for Holmes, received a message from Minnie R. v, 1Ila@ ms, dated Providence, which stat ' 1t the sender was alive and well. This Is one of the women whom Holmes Is accused of having murdered in the Chi cago castle.
 When questioned in relation to the mat. ter, Mir. Shoemaker at first seemed reluct- ant to discuss it, but finally admitted that he had received such a dispatch. "We have concluded all along" said he, "that Minnie Williams was alive"
 Do you think the telegram is gen. uine?" was asked
 ''It may or may not be. My opinion, however, is that it was sent by Minnie Williams. Holmes told me that he SUD- poses the girl has just arrived from Lon- don and perhaps was induced to send the message by some of his friends.
 Tt is more than likely that Minnie dence and then hurriedly left the town. She has always had particular fondness for Boston and has many friends in that city. She may have been on her way there when she telegraphed me-"
 When the message was shown to Holmes, he at once exhibited his feelings. II knew my story that did not kill the girl would be confirmed" said the criminal as he brushed the tears from his eyes. q am sorry, however that she has made her. self so public by telegraphing. She might as well have written"
 Then Holmes reiterated the statement that he has made so often-that the last time he saw Minnie Williams was when he left her at Toronto with the Pitzel chill dron

NAUGATUcK JOURNALISM.

Matters are reaching crisis in Nauga- tuck journalism What at first was regarded as the joke of the season has taken on 8 serious turn and the outcome is awaited with breathless anxiety. We trust that it will not be necessary to call out the mill tia. Perhaps Chief Hosford and his men can bring order out of chaos. but at this writing the worst is feared.
 Editor Reyes threw down the gauntlet when he said, in cold type, that hls paper, the News. 'is the only daily paper in this town worthy of the name and the people all say so unanimously"
 Editor Clyma of the Citizen questioned his neighbors veracity and ever since each has consistently and unmerci- fully denounced the other. It is said that the News man dips his pen in gall when writing of his rival, while Editor Olyma can best express his feelings when using a quill dipped in gore.
 "The plain people of this town have now to choose whether they will give their sup port to an independent, fearless, truthful | newspaper, which has honestly earned the reputation of being edited in their interest as against the interests of exploiting capi- talists, or to a newspaper which is thick and-thin organ of the local republican party and slavlsh, unquestioning servant of the employers of the town, says the edi- tor of the Citizen
 "The issue between the Citiz en and the News is the interests of the workingmen against their employers, which means in plain United States talk the interests of the walking delegate. or any other idle fraud who on pretense of friendliness to the worL ingman acts the part of bloodsucker on him and gets his living by it." writes a News core spondent, and the editor men, | tally says ''me too."
 Then up starts eye Editor" Peck, who publishes the first, largest sized and cir culated newspaper ever printed or pub- lished in the town of over 5000 iuhabtt- ants" He Says: "As regards the two dAiles and ourself, we shall lay low until the proper time comes for us to be at the top just as easy as easy can be and when there will be at least even money in it and publication that will not be two-thirds ofnon-paying advertisements or those that belong to and are therefore only paid to run in a weekly paper. To do business without money to back it. on a hurrah and tn" selling of few papers each day on the streets is not financially or otherwise beneficial, in the long run, for either publishers, advertisers or other at rons."
 Editor Peck takes great libtrtie with the queens English but there is more truth than poetry in what be says,

Mental Wreck From a Cosmetic.

From Russellville, Ky, comes sad story reported by the Chicago Tribune. The desire to make her complexion more beautiful has caused once proud mind to be shrouded in the darkest gloom. Miss Mary Belcher, two years ago, was bright dark haired, happy, rosy checked girl. One day she read ill an advertisement of a cosmetic paste that would make tho complexion perfect. She bought some and used it for two weeks as directed. At the end of that time she was mortified to notice the ap- pearance of a black beard all over her face. It grew rapidly, and in a short time she had a heavy set of whiskers. She grew hysterical, and about six months ago her mind began to fail un- der the constant worry. She is now a mental wreck. Miss Belcher is 22 years old and lives with her parents at Sugar Grove, Butler county.

MRS. PALMER AND THE NEW WOMAN

Mrs. Potter Palmer says that she doesn t like the new woman. Does anybody?- Boston Globe.
 Mrs. Potter Palmer is quoted as saying that she doesn't like tho now woman. There arc thousands of other level headed people of the same notion. There Is such q thing as woman being too new-St. Joseph Gazette.
 That level headed woman, Mrs Potter Palmer of Chicago, who managed the tur- bulent spirits in the woman's s directory of the Worlds fair with so much tact and success and proved to the world the execu- tive ability of the American woman, has been led to talk of her sex in the person of the new woman, and 1t Is interesting to read how she regards them. Gazette.
 Mrs. Palmer is unduIy alarmed. In the first place, she has confounded a very small part of society with society as a whole. In the second place, she has mis. taken the "summer girl" for the new woman. The latter, we are inclined to think, is myth of the humorists and the superficial social philosophers, or, at the worst, she is & hopeless spinster. New York Sun

THE METEoRlC HYPOTHESIS.

Professor T. Norman I.ockyer gives the following as the new points of view in the mctcoric hypothesis:
 1. There k the closest possible connec, tion between ncbulp aud stars.
 ?. The first stage in the developments of rosmical bodies is not mass of hot gas, but a swarm of cold metcorites.
 3, Many bodies in space which look like stars arc really centers of ncbulp-that is, of mctcoric swarms.
 1. Stars with bright limo spectra must be associated with nebulie.
 .. Somo of the heavenly bodies arc in creasing their temperatures; others are de- croasing their temperatures.
 6. Double swarms, in any stage of con- densation, may give rise to the phenomena of variability.
 :. New stars are produced by the clash of meteor swarms. They arc closely relat. cd to nebule and bright line stars.
 s. Cosmical space is a metcoric plcnum.
 9. A new classification of the heavenly bodies, based on the varying states of q condensation of the mcteoritic swarms.
 10. The sun is ono of those stars the temperature of which is rapidly decreasing
 II, Many of the changing phenomena of the sun are due to the fall of meteoritic matter upon the photosphere.-Po Science News

Younr. but Vigorous.

There is a young but vigorous wom- ans club at Valley, which is so blessed with enthusiasm that its 4 members have met regularly during the hot weather, while their Omaha sisters have been having their long vacation to recuperate after their arduous labors during the club year. The Valley club was organized last May, but it bids fair to be a model to other clubs in more ways than one. Mrs. Whitmore, the president, is an all around woman, whose interest in all progressive move 1-ents docs not interfere with her devo- tion to family of half dozen little ones and the successful management of q large household. Mrs. Woodford of Weeping Water, auditor of the state fed eration, and Miss Fairbrother of The Woman's Weekly wero visitors at re- cent meeting of the club and were much pleased with it. It will become mem- Der of the State Federation of Clubs, and as such will be allied with the G. r. w. C.-Omaha World-Herald.

 khe Gold Syndicate Again Comes to the
 Reserve's Rescue.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 21.~-The gold syn dicate prevented the gold reserve from falling below the $1OO, 900, 900 mark. The treasury department was informed that S2, $50, 900 in gold had been withdrawn for export from the subtreasury in New York. AS the gold reserve at the close of business stood at $1O2, 5s7. 146 the with drawals would have reduced the reserve to $99, 677, 149.
 A few minutes afterward, however, Acting Secretary Curtis received a tele- gram saying that MT. Pierpont Morgan of the syndicate had deposited $2, 900, 900 In gold in exchange for greenbacks. This deposit swelled the reserve to $101, 677, 14S.
 The officials at the department display no apprehension as to the gold reserve and intimate that the syndicate will con- tinue to make deposits to offset with drawals. But they decline to express their reasons for their faith, and the question raised constantly is as to the pledge under which the syndicate is making these de- posits and the period it covers, as well as the ability of the syndicate to continue to protect the reserve.
 But little light can be shed on these questions, however, as 1t is said that prob ably only two government off1cials-Pres- ident Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle know the unwritten part of the agreement made with the syndicate which secured the last issue of bonds. The syndicate has 70 far voluntarily deposited about $e; 000,s 900 in Rnid.

DOINGs OF POLITICIANS
Hot Contest Over Delegates In
 Philadelphia.
QUAY SEEMS TO BE IN CONTROL.

Opening of the Ohio Democratic Conven-
 porary and Permanent Chairman-Per-
 haps Campbell May Be the Nominee.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.-The Repub- lican primaries to select 70 delegates to the state convention and also to choose candidates for various city offices were held last night. The indications are that the Quay faction has elected IS delegates, and possibly 22. The anti Quay people concede the senator 16 votes.
 The polls were open from to D. m., and the scenes around the various polling places in districts in which there were contests recalled an exciting presidential election. Never before in the history of the Republican party in this city has there been such fight in the primaries. In many wards almost the full Republican vote was boiled. Although the contest was an earnest one, there was very little disorder, and the few arrests that were made were for minor offenses.
 The 37 wards of the city are grouped into 2S legislative districts, and these elected from one to seven delegates each. A hot fight was made in the Fifteenth ward, in which Mayor Warwick resides. The mayor was beaten.
 Quay Seems to Have Won. The Quay people claim to have carried 27 out of 52 divisions, with seven in doubt. If this version of the result is veri- fled, Quay will have 9 delegates from this city.
 Last nights contest practically closes the fight in the state Lehigh being the only remaining county to elect delegates. It appears almost certain that Senator Quay has won his fight for the state chair manship, with some votes to spare. A conservative estimate gives him 169 votes in the convention, 15 more than the num- Der necessary to elect. The senator last | night occupied his suit of rooms in the Metropole hotel, and constant stream of | visitors passed in and out congratulating \ him. He declined to be interviewed, say ing that he would not speak for publica- tion until after the convention, which | meets at Harrisburg on Aug. 2S. The contest attracted to the city politicians of | all degrees from all over the state. These crowded the headquarters of the two fao- tions and eagerly watched the returns.

Ohio Democrats.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. 21.-The Demo | cratic state convention was opened this | morning by Chairman Brice, whose speech was mainly devoted to plea for honest | money"
 The speech was followed by the reports | of the committee on credentials, the ma | jority favoring the Brice delegates and the minority tho silver men.
 When the committee on resolutions met | last night, ex- Congressman Frank Hurd, who is as radical for a gold standard as l for free trade, was made chairman, and | it was found that J. NJ. Lewis of the l Eighth, R. W. Patrick of tho Seventeenth
 and T. J. Blandin of the Twenty first dis l tricts wcrc the only free silver men on tho | committee of 21 members. The other com
 mittees were also strongly Brice organiza- | tions. The committee on resolutions ap- pointed subcommittee to draw up Q plat 1 form on which the opposition was given a | representation and which was instructed
 to reaffirm the national financial plank of | 1892, which Senator Brce says the presi- 1 dent and Secretary Carlisle had interpret l cd to mean a gold standard. It was also | instructed to indorse the tariff bill passed l by the last congress and the national ad- l minist ration and tho record of Senator l Brico. Strong speeches were made for
 the resolutions of the silver men, but it was not Incorporated in the instructions l to the framers of the platform.
 | The platform will arraign Governor Me | 1<inley's state administration severely and l point to the revival of business as the
 effect of Democratic rulo and legislation. l The Brice mon controlled all the commit
 tees, but did not exercise their power in
 unseating opponents in the committee on
 credentials. They made Senator Brice
 permanent as we'll as temporary chairman
 of the convention and continued the tenn
 porary organization throughout So far | us the ticket is concerned, tho talk is for
 nothing but tho old tickets of 1889 and | 1891, which means Campbell for governor
 and Marquis for lieutenant governor. It | is understood thas ex Governor Campbell l has been assured of such financial and | other support as to secure his acceptance.
