THURMAN A firm Believer
Is Convinced That Mrs. Baldwin
Possesses Wonderful Power. =
HER WORDS WERE VERIFIED
MIR. Furhman Wrote. TO the City of Mexico
and Learned That His Father,in'
Law Was Murdered and Robbed
- . ;
There as Described.

S. j. Thurman, the Scranton awning
manufacturer, is firm believer In the
second sight or supernatural power of
Mrs. Baldwin. Last week Tuesday she
told Mr.. Thurman that his father-in-
law has been murdered in the City of
Mexico. Mr.. Thurman Immediately
made inquiries by telegraph and has
received IA confirmation of Mrs. Bald
WINS startling information.
Mrs. Fuhrman's father, w. c. Gear
hart, left Scranton five years ago. His
whereabouts was unknown until SIX
months later, when he was heard OF
in Mexico. For the past four and
half years his relations in this city
have had no communication with him,
nor was 1t known where he lived.
Mr.. Fuhrman witnessed the Bald
wins entertainment at the Frothing-
ham, and before leaving his home that
evening had jokingly told his wife he
would ask a question concerning Mr..
Gearhart's whereabouts. He decided
that the entertainment was fraud
and did not write the question as he
intended.
The Baldwins CorrobOratcd.
He could not keep his mind away
from the matter however, but thought
of 1t intently. His meditations We're
disturbed by Mrs. Baldwin calling out
his name and describing his thought.
She then announced that w. c. Gear
hart was stabbed while demented and
walking along street in the city OF
Mexico, and had been robbed.
To test the fallacy of the statement
Mr.. Fuhrman telegraphed to the man
ager of the Western Union company in
the City of Mexico. A reply has been
received briefly confirming Mrs. Bald
wins vision. Mr.. Thurman intends to
sift the matter to the bottom, and has
written to tho telegraph official in
Mexico requesting minute particulars
of the case.
The above circumstances We're, re-
lated to Tribune reporter yesterday
afternoon by Mr.. Fuhrman, who is
firm disciple of Mrs. Baldwin and her
ability to penetrate the thoughts of
others.

As was intimated in Mondays Trib-
une Michael McGarry has Withdrawn
from the contest for select council in
the Twentieth ward. Mr.. McGarrys
authoritative statement of his dropping
out of the race has been expected for
some time, as neither he nor his friends
We're making any active canvass. Last
evening, to reporter, he stated that
his intention of not remaining in the
fight was long settled, but that he was
awaiting favorable opportunity to
pull out. His many friends requested
him to continue the battle and he was
assured of u large vote, but for reasons
best known to Mr.. McGarry himself
he has withdrawn. Mr.. McGarry is
well acquainted with the needs of the
ward and would have made a good
councilman.
BY this change in the contest affairs
are given a new aspect. The only as
pirants now in the field are Professor
Thomas j. Coyne and Mark Cahalin,
and lively campaign can be predicted.

multitudes of the most talented and
promising in life, while it takes over I
billion, 200 million dollars from it's traV-

In this connection we need to consider
the estimated lost labor of those engaged
in business: of drunkards and tipplers,
400 million dollars; lost labor of sober
men, 40 million; pauperism, million;
crime, 81 800, 900; insanity and disability,
II million; sickness, 100 million; lost la
Dor of liquor makers, 300 million; MAX
ing total of S9O2, 800, 900, and if we add
to this the amount paid to the retailer,
billion 200 million, and we find that the
liquor business annually costs this coun-
trv the enormous sum of $2, 102, 800, 900,
or an average tax of S32 per capita in the
United States. And yet this is only the
money value loss to the country, to this
must be added that which cannot be ex-
pressed by money, the misery, suffering,
woe, destitutiOn, blasted hopes, blighted
lives, broken hearts, ruined characters,
and lost souls chargeable to this business.
In view of these facts is it not high time

our fellow men should rise up and de-

The Cultivation of Patriotism.

Probably the United States never con-
tanned so many patriotic societies, says
the New York Press, as it does at the
present time. The last decade of the
century has witnessed remarkable re-
viyal of the spirit of robust Americanism,
and these various organizations are
among it's most significant manifesto

Senator Morrill, Dined With Daniel
Webster.

A day or two in advance of the meet
ing of the Wing National Convention in
Baltimore, in 1852, to which l was del
egate to nominate a Presidential candi-
date, says Senator Morrill, in speech in
Congress, visited Washington. and was
invited with others by Mr.. Webster, then
Secretary of State, to dinner. AS it was
not my intention to support Mr.. Webster
in the convention, the invitation was
rather regretted, but, being told by a
friend that such an invitation here from
the Secretary of State was never to be
declined, l accepted.
There were about dozen at the table,
Mrs. Webster being the only lady. Mr..
Webster appeared in his blue coat, with
gilt buttons, light buff vest, low shoes,
and white silk half hose, and led the con-
versation most happily, whether grave or
gay. Upon leaving the dining room, the
gentlemen all returned to the drawing
room, and there Mr.. Webster was so gra-
cious and attractive in general and spec
ial conversation as to place every one at
his ease, especially as he did not even al
lude to the coming convention. By way
of inquiry as to tbe preparation of his
speeches, ventured to say l had heard
it stated that among the passages often
quoted one had been conceived by him
many years prior to utterance, and re-
ferred to his picturesque description of
the power of England, "whose morning
drum beat, followed the sun and keep
ing company with the hours, circles the
earth with the continuous and unbroken
strain of the martial airs of England"
He promptly replied: GAS a mere
fact it is true that, while visiting Quebec
several years before the speech of 1884,
one morning arose early, as is my wont,
and walked out upon the ramparts of
the city, when | soon heard the morning
drum beat. 1t then occurred to me that
this, little later, would be repeated at
Montreal, then at Toronto, again in Col
umbia, and so on around the world
Adding: "Oh, l never pretended to be
one of the inspired geniuses. I bring
forth nothing without labor. If not pre-
cisely at the time, it has cost labor al
some time"
