jor Mckinley Approves.


jor Mckinley Approves.
Canton, O., Dec. Ex-senator e. o.
wolcott spent two hours with Major
Mckinley to-day and departed in a
happy frame of mind.
ct came to Canton" said he, "as
chairman of the committee of five ap-
pointed by the republican senators in
caucus to draft bill to carry into eff
feet that plank Of the St Louis plat
for on the subject of International BIZ
metallism. The bill meets the hearty
approval of the president-elect. 1t au-
thorizes the president to appoint dele
gates to an International monetary
conference, when such a meeting shall
be called.
Several European countries are in
terested in the matter, and sentiment
forfurther recognition of silver through
International agreement is spreading
abroad. There may be a conference
within short time after Major McKin-
ley is inaugurated."
Senator Wolcott remarked that a
pronounced anti-silver man with a rec
ord of opposition to bimetallism would
probably not be looked upon in the
west with favor for secretary of the
treasury.

be the Next Senator"

best evidence of that was my refusal
to stand for governor of this state.

AsLittle Child Led Them,

The ventiatng shaft of q Harlem fiat Is
responsible for the publicity of touching
episode, from which the true names are
purposely omitted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones had for several
months been living under strained condi-
tions that cast IA cloud over their home,
which threatened to break in a storm that
would disrupt the little family Of three
members. Last week the breaking point
was reached and husband and wife agreed
that "a separation was the only possible
course. But there was a little daughter,
Eva, yea 5 of age. Which parent was to
have herr 1t was decided that the child
should answer this question.
Eva" said the mother as she was seat
ed near the ventilating shaft holding the
childs hand, while the father with con-
tracted brows, was standing at the other
end of the room, my dear little daughter,
papa and mamma are not going to live to-
gether any longer; we are going to sepa-
rate and 90 far, far away from each other
We can't be happy in the same house
Now, my child, we want you to say which
one of us you will live with. You must
choose between mamma and papa.
The eyes of the little girl filled with tears
as she turned them on her father, who had
averted his face and stood with bowed
head. She did not speak then, but was
apparently in thought, very deep for her
little experience. She loosened the hand
that held her and moved quickly toward
her father, who turned with outstretched
arms and a smile of triumph to welcome
her. a deep frown settled on the mother 5
face.
The child did not then break her silence,

not resist to the other end of the room.

The appeal was irresistible. Mr.. and

washouts. In the vicinity of Sistersvlle,
Tyler county, the storm created the most
havoc 1t rained two days, and the little
streams were swollen to twice their normal
size. They became raging rivers and

1T is stated on good authority that Henry
Willard, backed by large number Of Euro

road and then the Baltimore & Ohio, which
is to be sold at a receivers sale. 1t is said
