NEW TO-DAY.
THE ROYAL ROAD.
Good Food Is the Only way


It's mans bad habits that hurt him
more than overwork. The little habits of
coffee and tobacco hurt worse than some
of the big ones. because they are contin-
ued more steadily than the greater habits.
Many man Is simply poisoned to death
by the alkaloid of coffee and tobacco and
never will believe what is hurting him.
Let him quit tobacco and use Postum
Cereal, the TODD drink, in place of coffee
and very saon ohe tnds that nature, the
great restorer. is at work. No medicine is
needed, simply quit doing those things
which poison and waste the energy, and
let nature build into body and brain from
good food. Postum is made entirely OF
grains by the Postum CEREAL Co. lin, of
Battle Creek, Mich, and is nourishing
and fattening. Use plain, common food
and the iood-drink Gt looks like coffee
but is not). Health will come ando be of
much more solid character than when
patched up with drugs.
DIR. H. P. Merriman, 2239 Michigan Ave-,
Chicago, says, Il have tried the Postum
and am pleased with it,
"Just as good'' as Postum Cereal are
words used to defraud the public.

TRAPEZE PERFORMERS FAIL.
Thrown Violently to the Stage and Badly
:: Injured BY the Breaking of

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 30.-Prominent
in the specalties incidental to the white
Crook" at the Olympic Theater is the
trapeze and horizontal bar act of Edward
Colby and Frank Dewitt.
Colby was balancing himself across the
crossbar, twenty-five feet above the stage,
tonight. Dewitt was just beneath him.
The audience, still as could be, was wait
ing, when there sounded through the
building a sudden sharp snap. like the
crack ola revolver. The rope of the trap
eze parted.
The two peri ormers crashed to the
stage and lay motionless. The screams of
the women, the shouts OF men. the rush of
some of the audience TO the doors and of
others to the stage followed the fall. The
stage manager. George Curtiss, and others
ran in and carried the two performers to
ihe wings. Then the momentary panic
began TO subside. Within ten minutes the
spectators beheld with applause a girl
singer, and had apparently forgotten the
accident. In the meantime the perform
ers were taken to- Harlem Hospital. Five
toes of Coiby's foot were broken and he
was badly shocked. Dewitt received
severe internal injuries.

General Porter's address to tho Unfon
Veterans Patriotic League.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 3o.-The
Union Veterans Patriotic League closed
its campaign work tonight by a great
meeting at Carnegie Hall. One of the
features of the meeting was portrait OF
General Grant, furnished by his son,
Colonel Fred d. Grant, and which was
unveiled at an interesting moment.
General Horatio Porter presided at the
meeting. There was great cheering as the
veterans appeared on the platform. Gen
eral Porter said:
"As these men went to the front in
1861 to save the Nations life, they are
going to the polls next Tuesday to help TO
save the Nations honor. In this crisis
our opponents are disregarding all law
and trying to bring about that condition
of things which is the absence of all law
and is known only by that most abhor-
rent language in the English tongue-red
handed anarchy"
General Porter then referred to Major
Mckinley, whose name received an ova-
ton. Some men know our candidate as
Major Mckinley. others as Governor Nc
Knley, but we know him as Comrade Nc
Kinley. On the other side we see Bryan
flirting vigorously with Sewall and Wat
son, neither of whom know what time the
engagement will be broken"
General Porter then said the Bryanites
had insulted the flag in Missouri, Illinois
and Chicago.
1--WE read in the papers to-day" said he,
that the Bryanites tore down the flag in
Chicago and trampled and spat upon it.
TCries of 'Shame"l
"The time has not yet come in this
great Republic to substitute partisanshlp
for patriotism or dynamite for law. We
are sitting here tonight under the inspira-
ton of Ulysses S. Grant, our great
general"
There was great cheering at this and the
flag which was in front of General Grants
picture was drawn aside. The entire
meeting cheered enthusiastically

MISERY AND STARVATION.
IT Causes an Impoverished Pole to Try
to Murder HIS Family and Cut His
Own Throat.

DETROIT, MICH, Oct. 3O An at
tempted murder and suicide this morning
led to the discovery of pitiable case of
destitution and misery. Mcrtin Lubin-
ski, native of Poland, lives here with his
wife and two children. He is cripple
and unable to contribute anything to the
support of the family.
His wife has gone out to work and until
recently was able to earn enough money
to enable them. to live. Recently, how
ever. she lost her work and there was alb
solutely no income. The family had been
so poor for long time that they had
nothing to sell or pawn, and for the past
week they have been On the verge OF
starvation.
Hunger and despair seemed to have az
fected Lubinski's s mind, and he decided
that 1t was better that all should die
than that they should live on in misery.
Early this morning while his wife and
children were still in bed he arose and pre-
pared for his murderous work.
The first his wife knew of his intentions
was when she found him standing over
her with Keen knife in his hand. She
was not as anxious to give up the struggle
as was her husband. She sprang at him,
but he eluded her and made an effort to
get at the two children. :
The frantic woman succeeded in head
ing him off again. She was physically
greatly his superior, and he seemed to
realize that fact and abandoned. his at
tempt to kill her. Suddenly, before she
realized what he intended to do, he drew
+ba .k,;fa across his own throat cutfino n
deep, cash from which the blood spurted
in 1hick stream. He stood for moment
and then fell to the ground.
His wife at once went to his assistance.
She called for. help and did what she could
to stop the flow Of blood. She succeeded
so we'll that the doctors now say that Lu-
binski will probably recover. Charitable
people in the city have already interested
themselves in the case and will see that
the family is supported.

Lines in the Western Clearing House
Association to 0utwf the South
arn Pacific

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 30.-The advisory
board OF the Western Immigrant Clearing
house has abandoned its efforts to reach an
agreement with the Southern PACIFIC. in
the m after of commissions on this class Of
business. A division of the business was
proposed, but the Southern Pacific asked
too large share. 1t was then proposed
to'maintain agreed rates OF fares and COM
missions, but the Southern Pacific in
sisted that commissions be paid to
European agencies not only on the bCsi-
ness in which it was directly interested,
but on that ticketed to intermediate
points in which it has no interest.
When negotiations were broken off the
clearing house roads: decided they would
reduce commissions. which are now SIS
and SIG ticket, to. SIS a ticket. and thus
throw on the Sunset route the. responsi-
bility for the continuance of the present
decentralization. Should the latter road
persist in paying the old commissions
some plan will be adopted by its competi-
tors to meet the competition, but just what
method will be adopted is not yet an
nounced. =
A commission on Immigrant traffic has
practically been agreed upon between the
TRANSATLANTIC steamship companies and
trunk ines.and Western roads, in which
the Southern Pacific is ignored. The de-
tails of this arrangement has not yet been
arranged, but should they prove satisfac-
tory to the lines affected the new method
will be put into effect January 1. =.
An agreement has also. been reached in
the matter of handling immigrant busi-
ness coming via Galveston, and this. basi-
ness will. be divided among the roads run
ming out of Galveston.

An odd Duel.

One day the famous duelist, Pierrot
d'Isaac, went to see his friend, the Mar
quis Merle de Sainte-Marie, says an ex-
change. 1t should be explained that in
French perrot means sparrow and merle
means blackbird. Marquis" said d'Isaac
II am a Bonapartist and you are roy
alist Moreover, 1 am a sparrow and YOU
are the blackbird. Doesn't 1t strike you
that there is one bird of us too many?"
1T precisely does" said the marquis; inv
choice is pistols and, as is appropriate
for birds Of our species, let us fight in the
trees" As IL 1t were not a sufficiently
ridiculous thing that one man should
challenge another because his name was
Sparrow and others Blackbird, the duel
was actually fought from trees, the sec
onds standing on the ground below. The
pistols were fired at the signal There
was rustling among the leaves of one

d'Isaac, who. wounded severely in one
leg, came tumbling to the ground. At this
point the marquis began to chirp triumph
anrly, initiating the song Of a blackbird
This was fresh insult, to be atoned for
in only one way; and d'Isaac waited for
his wound to recover to challenge Sainte-
Marie for the chirp. This time the duel
was fought with swords and Sainte- Marie
was badly wounded-the sparrow had
avenged himself on the blackbird.

I,ynchings ana County convicts.

n
The governor. in his message takes
strong grounds against lynchers, and re-
commends new legislation to check law
i lessness Of this kind. He says: "Innocen.
men have suffered at the hands of lynch
ers. and unless lynchings are stopped
other innocent men will suffer" He ad-
I mits that some of those who have been
4 lynched we're guilty of the crimes with
which they were charged, but he contends
i that they would have been punished If
I the law had been permitted to take its
course, and that their punishment, in ac-
! cordance with the law. would have had a
| far more beneficial effect. There is no
doubt that the governor is right in the
| position he takes in this matter. Lynch
ings do not seem to prevent crime In
the communities in which lynch law is
most frequently resorted to the crime for
which men are lynched is oftenest COM
mitted. The lawful punishment of a Grim
inal alarms criminals and makes them
hesitate to overstep the bounds of the
law.
We are not prepared to say that the
method recommended by the governor to
prevent lynchings is the best that could
be adopted. Indeed, it is not an easy mat
ter to decide what kind of a law would Re
the best. The views of those who have
given the subject a good deal Of attention
differ widely. During the time he has been
in office the governor has given it thought
full consideration, and the conclusion he
has reached is that which is contained in
his recommendation. 1t will come before
the legislature and that body, doubtless,
will give it very thorough discussion. All
good citizens agree that lynchings should
be stopped. not only because they. have
a bad effect upon the people, but also be-
cause they tend to keep immigration away
from the state.
The county chain-gang system is given
considerable attention in the message
The governor appears to think the county
conyicts are not treated nearly so well
as the penitentiary convicts. No doubt
he is right about that. The reports from
some of the couaties show that the con-
dttion of the chain-gang convicts in those
counties is deplorable, and this condition
is likely to continue unless something IS
done to remedy it. But what is to he
done? The governor recommends state
supervision. Would that be a remedy? Ii
the state officer did his whole duty AMI
suficient penalties were provided for the
punishment of those responsible for the
mistreatment Of the convicts a much
needed reform might be brought about
Unfortunately, politics would have so
much to do with the selection of a state
supervisor that 1t would be difficult mat
ter under the plan suggested, to secure
the protection for county convicts of
which they are in so much need. Still.
the plan suggested by the governor would
be well worth trying. if no better one
should be proposed. 1t is clear, from what
the governor says, there is great need for
reform in the management and treatment
Of county convicts.
