Suicide of n Pretty Woman in Her
Ne., York Apartments.

NEW YORK. Oct. 20.-Mrs. Barbara Orr
was found deii n her apartments, in East
Ninth street, To-Day. She had inhaled gas
and it is thought there is no doubt that
she committed suicide. Mrs. Orr went to
her late stopping place three weeks 6 and
secured a room. She sought work, but
failed to secure employment. 1t is said
she spoke frequently Of expecting a letter
and day by day as it failed to come her
spirit seemed to forsake her and she
became Respondent. Last night a letter
came and she eagerly took it from her
Iandlady and went to her room to read it.
Evidently it was disappointing because she
became more respondent. She rose early
to-day, went out into town and returned
about 9 O'Clock and went to her room. soon
the odor of gas was noticed. Mrs. OrrS
door was found locked, but from the tran
som a servant saw her stretched out on the
bed fully dressed, with a rubber tube from
unconscious. A physician was called, but
she died without regaining consciousness.
A dispatch from Providence, r. l., says:
Mrs. Barbara Orr, who committed suicide
in New York city, was a resident of this
city, and, although only twenty-five years
old, had a romantic life. When scarcely
nineteen years old she married a Mr.. Bar
stow, of this city, but lived with him only
two years, and then a divorce was OBJ
where she married DR.. Orr, of that city,
but upon his death, about a year ago, she
returned East, and has since lived with
her sister. She had always been par
ticularly attractive. and during her
merous callers. A gentleman from
Fall River, however, seemed to be pre-
ferred, and about a month ago Mrs. Orr
suddenly left home, and. without aging
anything to her sister, went to Fall River.
She came back in a few days, suffering
from an overdose of laudanum, and later
talked of suicide. When she again disap-
peared. her sister gave up all hope of see
ing her alive. and was not therefore sur
prised when she heard of her death. Mrs.
Orr is described as being a very beautiful
woman. Her sister will take steps to have
the body brought back to Providence.

Has Had Enough .Reform..

AtcnlSOn GlODe.
Four years ago the writer of this voted
for Weaver, believing that the Republicans
of Kansas and of the Nation needed HUI
initiating, and that a change of administra-
ton would be a good thing.
The change of administration in Kansas
vas an unfortunate experiment, and it was
not much better in the country at large.
This year we intend to vote for McKin-
ley. We were willing to give Populism and
Democracy a trial, and they We're not sat-
isfactory. The Populist administration in
Kansas was so disgraceful that two years
later the Populist candidate for Governor
was defeated. No intelligent person doubts
that the Popultst candidate for Governor
of Kansas will be defeated this year.
We regard Bryan as a PopuIist, pure and
simple. We do not intend to vote for a
Populist administrator in Kansas, and we
do not intend to vote for a Populist admin
istration for the Nation.
We believe it is very important that Nc
kinney carry Kansas. He will be elected.
with or without the help of this State, and
Kansas should vote with Pennsylvania
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and New York, rather
than with Arkansas, Texas, Alabama and
Utah..
The Globe is in no sense a political paper.
Ordinarily there is little difference between
the parties, but this year there is q vast
difference, and the intelligence, patriotism
and integrity of the country are massed
on the Republican side. Populism has be-
come so bold that even the better class of
Democrats are generally voting with the
Republicans as q rebuke to the mistaken
or vicious Chicago platform.

General Marden interrupted at Grand
Rapids with Cheers for the Pop
Ocratic Candidate.
WALLACE At KALAMAZOO
SPEECH BY INDIANA'S S~OLDIER-AU-
THOR TO A BIG CROWD.
Chicago Platform by Rt.
Rev. George l.. Seymour, an
Illinois Bishop.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 20.-The
Alger party of campaigning generals was
two hours late in reaching this city to-
night. They were given a grand reception
here with a torch-light parade and an audi
ence that crowded the largest hall in the
city, enthusiastically applauded their
speeches. Howard, Sickles, Marden, Alger,
Tanner al1d Stewart spoke. General Alger
was the principal speaker. All were well
received except General Marden, who
started disorder by repeating the story
about Bryan's having m a career
on the stage and then as a playwright and
amat critic. When he declared that
Bryan had been a failure as a lawyer and
Congressman, had become a ~peripatetic
campaignor, he was interrupted by cheers
for Bryan. The members of the party are
all well except General Sickles, who is
greatly fatigued. He was carried from the
carriage to the stage in a chair, which he
occupied while speaking.
During the day speeches were made at
Adrian, Hudson, Hillsdale and kalamazoo
Atthe latter place the party of veteran
campaigners was accorded a royal recep-
ton this afternoon. The crowd was not
as large as that of Bryan day, but it was
very enthusiastic. A chief feature was the
parade of hundreds of old soldiers. Speech
es were made by Generals Alger, Howard,
Sichles, Stewart and by Corporal Tanner
in Bronson Park to some four thousand
people. The business and residence por-
ton of the city were gayly decorated with
flags and bunting in profusion, with Nc
Kinley pictures in many windows. Gen.
Lew Wallace spoke tonight to a crowded
house. This evening there was a large
torchlight procession, comprising hundreds
of marching men, several hundred horse
men, with flve bands.
The train arrived in Allegan at GAS. an
hour and a half late. Fully 5000 people
were at the depot to greet the generals.
The train pulled into the station amid
cheers and booming of cannon. waving of
banners, flags and torches and music. A
of leading citizens and veterans
welcomed the generals. General Alger
spoke briefly and introduced Generals How
ard and Marden, who made only brief re-
marks. At Z o'clock the train left for
Grand Rapids.

NO FUSION IN GEORGIA.
Proposition Of ~PopuIists Rejected by
the Democratic.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 20.-The Populists
and the Democrats are as far apart to-
night as ever on the fusion question, and it
now looks like neither State committee
would get together.
To-day marked the expiration of the five
days period which the Populist State GEN.
trail committee gave the Democrats in
which to decide on their proposition for
a fusion Bryan and Watson ticket. made
up of seven Democratic and six Populist
electors. 1t was to decide on this PROPOSE
ton that the Democratic State executive
committee and the Democratic electors
were summoned to meet at the party head
quarters at noon to-day. AT the same hour
a block away, the Populist State central
committee was assembled. Early In the
morning a strong division developed in the
ranks of the Democrats over the fusion
proposition. The ultimatum of the Populist
central committee was as follows:
whereas, The Peoples party of Georgia
accepted in good faith the ST. Louis com
promise. namely, the nomination of the
Hon. w. ]. Bryan as the presidential cam
didate on the ticket with the Hon. Thomas

National humiliation.

A large part of the people Of France not
many years ago lost their heads over a
Brumrnagem hero who came to an inglori-
Gus end by his own hand on a wanton's
grave. But Boulanger was a soldier who
had come to high rank by personal desert.
and his was not by any means the first
case in history where epaulettes and gold
lace have excited d popular furore. The
cheek of every respectable American red
dens with a deeper flush as he reflects that
the Bryan craze had not even this trump
cry basis. And now it transpires that but
n few weeks before the Chicago conven-
ton, probably while ne was rehearsing the
speech that made him the idol and the can
didate of the Populists, he applied for a
place as press agent of a travelling show.
There is an imminent national peril in
Bryan's doctrines. but the fact that an ig-
noble adventurer and ne'er-do-well can
for our greatest office and actually win to
his support whole States and millions of
voters-these shameful things put upon us
the greatest humiliation We nave ever en-
dured.

BRYANISM DENOUNCED.
Bishop Seyn our Out i'm a Strong Let

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Right Rev. George
L. Seymour, of Springfield, H., bishop of
the Episcopal Church, has written a letter
to the g~oId-standard Democratic comm ttee,
in which he ~denounces the Chicago plat
form in very forcible language. The Bishop
says he takes no interest in politics under
ordinary considerations and has voted but
once since the war. But the political situa-
ton at present he regards as perilous. He
states that free silver would be injurious
to all classes, and declares unequivoclily
for the single gold standard. The remain
der of his letter is devoted to what he con-
ceives to be the effort of the Democratic
platform to array 'claSS against class, en-
ploye against employer, and the West and
South against the East" lie asserts the
tendency is revolutionary, and the men who
preach such doctrine are mot aware of the

Receipts of the Bryan Show.

CItVtIdHU IEdUGI.
There is really more curiosity regarding
the receipts of the show at this time than
there is respecting the performance of the
star. 1t is known that $500 an hour was
demanded for a straightaway speech, or
SOD for a half hour of oratory. We notice
that the show stopped at some places
three minutes, and at others an exhibition
lasting five minutes was given. We sup
pose the three-minute speech was made for
SO. which is at the rate of So. 33 13 a min

about SIS. 1t is plain, however, that if

MONTPELIER, VT, Oct. 20.-Justin s.
Morrill,, of STAFFORD, was reelected United

ham, of Bakersfield, Democratic candidate,
received seventeen. In the joint Assembly
tomorrow afternoon Senator Morrills
election will be ormall made.
The honor paid TO Senator Morrill, by his
native State to-day is an incident of more
than usual interest. When on the 4th of
March next he is formally indicted into
the office which he has filled for thirty
years he will commence a term which bids
fair to break all records of membership in
the national Senate. Mr.. Morrill, is eighty
