HOW IT WAS LOST.

1t is everywhere conceded that Miss
Anna Shaws sharp tongue defeated
woman's suffrage in California. She
scourged her audience with the mer-
ciless whip OF satire aud invecti We
and every man in the audience felt
like getting out and working against
her cause.
She was very able and very brilliant,
but men are not won over to wOtneDs
ways by such gifts n by such meth
DDS. An able and brilliant
who tries to convert a man to her way
Of thinking will fail if she berates
and scold him, while a woma not
half so brilliant or gifted or we'll
educated will lead him all over the
earth by the nose with a pleasant
nod or smile or a wall timed cara3s.
The women who bend men to their

w. W Williams informs the Reno
Gazette that the Nevada National
Nickel Company of Cottonwood, in
Churchill county, will start up its
electrical plant next week. The Nickel
Company has spent large sums of
money in an electrical plant for re-

is a success regular shipments will be
made after next week.
4 Sacramento MAI is in New Or
leans fighting IL the Courts for $780,
600 left by the death of his sister. His
sister was a notorious woman and
the $780, 900 are the wages of shame
accumulated by a quarter Of a cen
fury of an abandoned life.
The papers describe the brother as
being "in luck" by reason Of his
prospects. 1t would seem that a man
OF any refinement or feeling would
rather bury the memories of such a
legacy. and keep from touching
wealth with the sad faint of a sisters
d;shonor upon every dollar Of it.
The Pacific Funding bill has been
laid on the shelf until January 5th, in

SAN Francisco, Sept. "A steamer
left Philadelphia for Liverpool last
week with 35,313 bags centrifugal
sugar, valued at S234,917, first from
that port. With beet sugar arriving
freely at that and other Eastern
ports from Europe, it seems quite
odd that such cargo as that men
toned above should be sent to Eng
land. But the ways of trade are
mysterious. The fact of the matter
is, trade has the ability of making
its own way.
New YORK, August 2S.--Mtchsel
Bariatti, ragged and dirty, was one
of the steerage passengers who
landed Thursday from the Ham
burg-American steamship Ems.
That a man of his personal appear
ance should have a large trunk was
suspicious, and it was found to con-
tain false sides and false bottom.
When these we're taken out 696
pieces Of jewelry we're disclosed,
consisting of gold aud diamond pins,
bracelets, earrings and brooches,
with 100000. These were all seized.
Bariatti refused to say anything as
to who owned the jewelry, and was
released.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 28.-The
President has decided to send war
ship to Constanstinople, and the
little cadet practice ship Bancroft
has been selected as the first Amer
lean naval vessel since the ratifica-
ton OF the treaty of Paris to pass
the Bosphorus and anchor in the
Golden Horn opposite the gardens
of the seraglio.
The administration having reached
the decision that the presence of a
United States war vessel was mper-
atively demanded at Constantinople
to perform duty similar to that of
the guardships maintained there by
England and France aud other Eu-
ropean powers, and the Turkish
laws resting on the treaty of Paris
forbidding vessel of over six guns
to enter the Bosphorus, the Bancroft
alone was found available for the
service required.

Threat Made by a Bold
North End Burglar.
Said He Would Blow Out the
Baby'S Brains.
A Poor Woman Gave the Miserable
Thief All Her Money.

"l'll blow out your baby's brains IL
you make a sound" That was the con-
soling statement which greeted Mrs.
Alfred s. Kelley of "a Howell street when
she woke up at 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and saw burglar In her
chamber rumaging bureau with
in an arms reach OF her bed. Mrs.
Kelley's husband is out OF town
trying to find work on farm and she is
trying TO make both ends meet by run
nlng a little notion store in the basement
of her Howell street tenement. She COM
menced business two days before the
Fourth, and had not finished the furnish
ing OF her store. On Monday night she
had twelve dollars left with which she
proposed to buy some boards for counter
and she went to bed with ii under her
pillow.
The blinds had been left open and the
first glimmering of the morning light
awakened her, unfortunately for her
nerves, for standing back to the bed was
a burglar, noiselessly ransacking the con-
tents OF the bureau drawers and examin-
ing the trinkets on tho mantle. She was
too frightened to speas, but with the
mothers instinct stretched out her arm
to encircle the body Of a two-yesr-old baby
that was sleeping by her side. The rustl-
ing OF the bed clothes attracted the In
truder's attention and he swung around
so az To face the bed with revolver
in his right hand. He saw the sleep
ing child, and made what he
knew would he the most effective
threat-"Il blow out your bahy's
brains IL you make a sound" The BABY
itself gave plaintive little COO and
turned it's back to the burglar and the
mother remained speechless and staring
with fright and wonder as to what would
come next.
"Give me all the morey you've got"
was the next order, and the woman
with three children and husband out
OF WORK, took the purse containing the
Sl2, the last cent she had in the world,
from under her pillow and turned il
over. Then the thief made his escape
by kitchen window, the same way that
he got in.
In the morning the empty purse was
found in the yard.
Mrs Kelly says tie man was about feet
10 inches in height, very stout and
with smooth and extremely red face.
Ills whole appearance was shabby and
dissipated and he was apparently about
% wears OLD.
The case was reported 10 the Second
station yesterday and the police in that
district are at n loss to account not only
for this break but for several others
which have occurred in the vicinity of
Doyle avenue since July T. They think
that the Kelly house was watched by the
burgIar who knew that a store had been
startpd there a1d realized that there
wogl d be cash receipts on hand.

ency, IT it should arise, OF atrogating

unable to determine where they viii se-
cure the CA votes necessary over the coo

fidently upon securing two OF tho votes
cast bv Maine for Senator Hill and three
OF those from West Virginia which
also went TO Senator Hill. They also
count confidently upon the result of the
contest in Nebraska and South Dakota be-
ing favorable to them. They will also
gain 20 votes on the increase OF the terri
torill votes from 2 to e. They will make
n gain OF ~ votes, sufficient to increase
the total to 6o5, or 10 short of the neccs-
sary two-thirds. III the Nebraska contest
should be.oecided favorably To the silver

The contest on the platform also prom
ised another heated debate. There had
never been a doubt that the silver men
would inject 10 to into the platform,
but as the result OF the meeting OF the
committee on patform last night there
are now added several new personal! ell
ements. These include the declaration
against the issue OF bonds in time OF
peace and an arraignment OF selling
bonds TO foreign purchasers. The ma
tional bank question was also involved
In the proposal of the majority TO limit
the right of national banks to issue
notes. Added TO this was the proposal
for constitutional amendment which
would permit Congress TO enact an in
c ONE tax law.
Outside of these economic features, the
plank commending Senator HIPS bill
regulating punishment in contempt cases
offered a field for debate, as 1t grew out
of the arrest of Eugene V. DeDs and other
la Dor organizers during the great Chicago
strike. No doubt existed that the silver
men would adopt the majority report on
platform when a vote was finally reached,
and majority instead of two-thirds was
sufficient to adopt. But before this vote
was reached heated debate was ex-
pected, which would present all of those
contentious which have thus Tar been
urged outside the convention hall. With
these contests over, Michigan and the
platform ahead, the leaders felt much
doubt whether the balloting on candi-
dates would begin today, although there
was slight prospect that some OF the
nominating speeches might be made at
night session.

When Catherine Again died at Paw
tuckt short time ago she left her "de-
position in perpetual memory" TO the
effect that her son Patrick had defraud-
ed her and abused her during her last
days.
The story of the case is that the old
lady disposed OF her property at New Bed
ord and instrusted the receipts from the
sale to her son Patrick to so TO Pawtuck-
ct and buy her house. He bought the
boug ht the house but had II put in his
own name, a fact which his mother did
not know until some time afterward.
A will In equity was then filed against
him, but before hearing could he had
the complainant died. The heirs TO the
property under Catherne's will are two
grand nephews.
In defence Patrick Agan claims that his
mother gave him the money al New Bed
ord as a present and that he has support
ed her ever since.

bartered In order to control the Michigan
State convention. There was every indi-
cation that this personal element would
be aired on the floor OF the convention
and that the question of federal influence
would be brought in for that severe criti-
cism which has thus far proceeded behind
closely guarded doors. Such is the feel
ing over this contest tnat it promised 10
take mych time and possibly to crowd
other business late into the day. 1t
was also regarded by many as furnishing
the opportunity to the gold men to leave
the convention on the grounds that the
silver forces were riding over them
rough shod.
