Do Poetic Works of Emily Dick
ensOn Sparkle.
MRS. TODD TELLS OF HER LIFE.
BrilIiun Characterization Of Her Poet
Friend - Interesting Hour of the
Modern NoveI Club - Insight Into
the Life of Miss Dickinson.

Friday morning in Mrs. Dole,s
drawing room Mrs. Mabel LOOMS Todd
gave an informal talk on Emily Dick
inson This eliminated in a most de-
Hghtful manner the years discussions
of the Modern Novel Club, which after
this triumphant session will take a
summer vacation.
The members Of this club, then, rein
forced by their guests, were spellbound
by the magnetic charm of the speaker.
She has edited all Of Miss Dickinson's
works that have yet appeared, two vol
umes of verse and two volumes of her
letters, and is engaged upon yet another
book of verse. She is a most faithful
and sympathetic interpreter of the
elusive personality of this strange pO-
etic genius. To her the world is in
debted for it's Whit of the rare sweet
perfume of this sweet exotic. Mrs. Todd
has chosen the Indian pipe as fitting
decorative emblem for the covers of the
published poems.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-05-23

The strangely retired life that Emily
Dickinson led was not due to blighted
affections, Mrs. Todd would have us be-
Iieve, for she was one of Natures nuns,
who cannot drag so exalted a sentiment
as love down into the commonplace of
every day. Her lovers, then, were left
to adore her, and while her verses
speak from the knowledge of love, they
show an intellectual GOODNESS rather
than the warm neaTness of human love.
Poor health was never hers, nor does
her joyOusness permit the theory of de-
ranged or morbid mind. Rather it was
excessive shyness in her that led her
TO shrink from showing her face, her
poems, even her handwriting to the
world Towards the last of her life her
letters were directed in anOther's writ
ing. This unparalleled shyness grew
upon her, and Mrs. Todd told of visits
she made when all she could see of
the strange woman was a glimpse of
white in a darkened hallway beyond
the lighted room where she herself sat
and played.

moters. The exercises were heard by

Of the day was the grafton by Chauncey

Lincoln, who followed Mr.. Depew, en-
phasized the fact that in the long run
the people are always right. He ex-
pressed profound gratitude for the
tribute paid to the memory Of his
father.
S. S. Mcclure of New York spoke of
the college raising a Lincoln science
hall as an enduring monument to COM
memorate the debate and the memory
of Lincoln.
The address of Senator John M. Pal
mer, the friend of both Lincoln and
Douglas, followed and was an hour in
length. In comparison Of the men he
commended Lincoln's ability and logi-

Douglas saying that his acquaintance
with him ripened into most profound
respect for his great abilities.

TALKED TO lNDIANlANS.

Mr.. Bryan Makes q Number Of Speeches
En- Route to Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-Mr. Bryan arrived
in this city from Indiana at 8 80 p. M,
and left later for Iowa. During the
day he made speeches at a number of
points in Indiana while en- route to this
city. His stay here was an hour all
told. He arrived at the Union depot at
9 80 p. m. over the Pennsylvania road
from Indiana and did not leave the
depot as he was to leave the city inside
of an hour over the Burlington road,
which runs out of the same depot as
the Pennsylvania. He walked up and
down the platform conversing with the
friends who had come to see him but
had little to say about the campaign.
He asked for the news from Georgia,
but the returns at hand were too
meager at that time to give him any
definite idea as to the result. Ho ex-
pressed himself, however, as being con-
fident that it would be ''au right"
At the station in Chicago, in response
to the cheers Of the crowd inside the
gates, MIR. Bryan said: II am not 60
ing to talk. have put in more than
an S-hour day and am going to bed,
but I will be back to Chicago before
the campaign is over."'

United States Trying to Purchase St.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ga gentleman
who has been connected with the dlplo-

authority for the statement that nego-
tiations are again in progress for the
purchase of the Island Of St. Thomas in
the West Indies from Denmark by the
United States. Some 20 years ago, ne
said, treaty was signed under which
this couatry agreed to pay Denmark
S3,5OO,OO0 for the island.

sired station near the entrance to the
Gulf of Mexico. Back in the 60s was

Spain for the purchase of Cuban indie.
pendence. The the secretary Of state
offered 800, 600, 600 or $3.50, 10000 for
Cuban independence. The offer was de-
clined, because Spain was not then In
need Of money as she is now. The
negotiations failed, and proposition
was made for the purchase of Mole, st.
Nicholas and Santa Domingo. This
proposition was accepted, but the
United States failed to carry out its
bargain. Now movement looking to
the acquisition of port in the West
Indies is in progress, which is likely to
result in the signing Of q treaty OF
purchase before the end Of the present
administration"

The Ex-P-esident Addresses an Enthusi-
astic Audience. s
CINCINNATI, Oct. S.-The sky was
clear but the weather cold when ex.
President Harrison, with his wife by
his side, set out for Music hall. The
Blaine club in uniform, led by a splen-
did band served as his escort. All
along the line of march the sidewalks
were crowded with people. The shout
ing along the line was from 1000
throats at time, and it never ceased.
Long before . o'clock the crowd be-
gan to assemble in front of Music hail.
At O'Clock. the doors were thrown
open and in less than 10 minutes the
hall including the great stage was
filled. Still people kept coming until
all the aisles and other standing room
were filed. Thousands crowded in the
corridors and on the outside and turned
homeward or went to the overflow
meeting on the outside. .
When ex-President Harrison arrived
the applause was unbOunded. Mayor
Caldwell, the officials of the Repub.
lican clubs and other prominent citi-
zens occupied front seats. Hon. Thomas
McDougan presided and introduced the
ex-president. When the applause had
subsidized Mr.. Harrison began his speech
by eulogizing the Republican nominees
for president and vice president. He
then took up the issues of the cam.
paign and discussed them at length.

THE DAY AT CANTON.

Delegations From Ohio and West Virginia

CANTON, o., Oct. 8.-The bleak, cold

There were four demonstrations by as
many delegations. Two Ohio counties
sent crowds and it was intended to

larger than was expected that the
doubling up process would not work.
Combined, they filled the hall twice

Crime a Most Brutal One, the
Men Being Shot Down
Without Warning.
Bandits Grab a Roll Of Bills
and Make Their Escape
on Bicycles.
Posses on the Trail of the Muir.
.derers and Their Capture
Is Expected.

SHERBuRNE, Mimi, Oct. 8.-Two
daring bank robbers, both of whom
were young men, robbed the Bank of
Sherburne of over 81 900 at :l5 p. NJ.
and in doing SO killed two highly re-
spected men. The dead are: George
Thorburn, assistant cashier; Olaf j.
Oestern, travelling collector, Wood
Harvester company, St. Paul.
The deed is one of the most brutal
ever committed in the state. It recalls
with startling vividness the crimes of
the Younger and James gangs in old
frontier days. The methods Of the rob-
bers were similar to those of the notori-
GUS bandits named.
The assassins left 81, 900 in gold, pre-
sumably because the coin was too
heavy. After killing the men and Sc
curing over 81 900 in bills the robbers
leaped through back window, and
established a new use for bicycles.
They
Made Their Escape Upon The Wheels,
and at a late hour have not been cap
tured, although posses under Mayor
Everett and Sheriff Hill are securing
the country i'll every direction.
The brutality Of the crime is wholly
without precedent in the state of Min
nesota. The robbers shot down their
victims without waiting to see if any
resistance would be made to their de-
mands for the cash. They dashed
within the bank, killed the only two
persons therein, and, leaping over the
counter and the bodies of the slain,
they seized the roll of bills from
the counter and escaped. The whole
transaction occupied but a single mo.
ment. Without a seconds warning
two highly respected men met their
death, and it is very likely that neither
of them had time to realize from
whence their death wounds came.
The Hunt for the Bandits.
The town is in terrible state of ex-
element, and every man or boy who is
strong enough or old enough to assist in
the man hunt is out in the darkness
armed to the teeth. If the bandits are
taken they will be given short shrift,
for the entire community is wild with
anger. Adjoining towns are sending
their quote Of men to assist in the hunt,
and before daybreak the circle of armed
men will be 30 miles in circumference.
It will be difficult for any one to slip
through it. Every road and every rail-
road is closely guarded. If the men
succeed in getting into the timber of
course the chances for their capture is
lessened, but it is not believed they can
get away.
