TOLEDO, o., Oct. S.-This was a field
day in the American Board of Commits
sioners for Foreign Missions At the fore
noon session President AngeH of the Uni
versity of Michigan, read two sets of reso-
Iutfons on the Armenian question. The
first set commends the steadfastness,
courage and faith of the American mission
aries in Turkey and pledges the board to
stand by them in maintaining their work.
The second set 'recites in five preambIes
that nearly 100000 worth of property be-
longing TO American citizens in Turkey has
been detroyed, their houses burned. them
selves attacked and imprisoned and in some
cases driven from their homes so that the
government has demanded redress of these
injuries and punishment of the offenders,
but has obtained neither. and that these
violations of treaty rights indicate a pur-
pose TO destroy the whole fabric of Chris
tian civilization which has been erected
with so much toll and sacrifice and cost
Resolutions were adopted urging the Pres
ident OF the United States to insist upon
the issue by the Turkish government of the
proper exeQuatur. that our consuls may
securely occupy under the flag of our coun-
try. Try the posts posts which our government as. as
tice and in accordance with treaty rights
administer with authority the duties of the

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Ths was Pennsyl-
vania day at the headquarters of the COM
mercial Travellers Republican League. The
principal interest was centered in Senator
Matthew S. Quay, and when he appeared
as chairman he was greeted with deafening
cheers Governor Hastings was the first
speaker introduced. He said. in part:
II am glad the commercial travellers have
invited some of the people of Pennsylvania
to come and tell you how to roll up ma
jorties. Bryan says he Is going to be
elected His plan has been all mapped out
Just soon as the polls close on Nov. 3
he will begin writing his message and form
few bills and prepare to put us on a sill
yer basis. Then about week before the
4th of March he viii go to Washington to
put up at the old tavern On the morning
of March 4 he will get up about 6 o'clock
and breakfast. At 7:30 he will go to the
White House and look the situation over
At 10:30 he will be sworn in. At II o'clock
he will send bill to Congress. Ee don't
expect to get the bill through until the fol-
lowing day, about noon, when he might
have a little trouble with the Senate. Of
course, he will have two Vice Presidents
one will preside over the Senate. while the
other will wait outside with a bicycle and
hasten to Mr.. Bryan with the bill as soon
as it is passed to him to sign. BY $50
o'clock that night all the gold in the coun-
try will be out of sight"

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct S.-f the assertions
of the Popuists be true the most outrag-
eous election frauds perpetrated in
this State were committed in the present
election. Chairman Cunningham, of the
Populist State central committee, says he
is certain Wright has been elected Gov
ernor over Atkinson the Democratic cam
ddate, but that the returns have been held
back and cooked" He asserts that frauds
were committed before the election under
a. partisan registration law, at the polls
on Wednesday and in the counting of the
ballots. The election machinery, he asserts,
is wholly in the hands of the Democrats
and that they can manufacture any ma
jority they please. The figures sent out
last night by the Democrats he says We're
profusely padded and were wholly at var
lance with the returns received by him.
This was done, he asserts, TO cover in
tended frauds. He says, also, that in order
to manufacture majority for Atkinson ar
rangements have been made for throwing
out whole Populist precincts. the same as
was done at previous elections. In conclu-
sion he says:
"A partisan registration law has been
used as q tremendous instrument of fraud
Copies of the lists were refused Populists
In nearly every county and bogus and doc
toTed lists sent TO IopullSt pI e0inctS, there
by dIsfranchising in some instances 20 or
81 per cent. of the legal Populist voters
Reports show the negroes voted solidy
against us in nearly every county. I con-
hdently believe Wright is elected on a fair
count of the vote as cast, in spite of tre-
HendouS frauds.
The Democrats, however, insist that they
have carried the State by a big majority
The Journal says: "Advices received up
TO midnight from combined official and uft-
official sources fix the total Democratic
majority at 36,129 This estimate is based
upon the vote for Atkinson for Governor
which is in many cases less than that cast
for the other Statehouse officials. 1t is not
believed that the final returns will ma
terially alter this estimate The Legisla-
ture is almost solidly Democratic in both
branches, insuring practically the unani-
nous election of ex-Speaker Crisp to the

DANvILLE, Pa, Oct. S.A large boiler
in the Reading iron works exploded to-

ager; Robert Reid, Russh Yerrick and
Clyton Major.
The boiler was thirty feet long and was
one of the largest in the place. There
was no warning of the explosion, and the
sound could be heard for great distance.
The pieces of iron were thrown in every
direction, and some were hurled hundreds
of feet. The house of John Burns, close
by was completely demolished. and from
the ruins were taken the bodies of his
child and Castleman. Several of those
injured are in a serious condition and are
lot expected to live. The cause of the ex-
plosion is unknown. but it is suspected
that there was no water in the boiler or
that it got low.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s-Charman Bah
cock of the Republican congressional com
nlttee. to-day issued statement de-
tailed reports, claiming the next House of
Representatives as Republican by at least
thirty-two majority. He says:
THE committee has now received de-
tailed reports from nearly all OF the con-
eressional districts and while there are
quite a number of districts that cannot be
determined upon ut present, owing to vari-
Gus causes-some with two candidates
others where the question of fusion has not
been settled and others where nomina tions
have not been completed-we have Suffi-
cient data 10 warrant in saying that
the Republicans will elect members who
are pledged to sound money from 194 dis
triCts without any question. These dis
tricts I consider absolutely certain. and in
addition to this there about fifty more
than can be classed doubtful. with the
probabilities that the majority of them will
elect Republicans. TINS insures al this
time working majority of thrty-two."

TALLY as follows: First, that the political

that the said certificate of nomination is

death his wife was to be allowed to take
his place if she proved competent. About
year ago Mr.. Getz died. The widow
took up his work and thereby supported
her two young children. But she was
remarkably successful, and the men in
the same business complained that they
could not compete with her They en-
treated Hirshberg s. Bro. to dismiss
her in vain. Then they laid their COM

writers. The board took their part.
Hirshberg 81 Bro. asked that Mrs.

licitor. The board instead adopted a
resolution that its membership consisted
only of men and voted to expel the firm

The Word "Obey."

subject with results acceptable to the
mass Of women. She says II was told
hat you could not get married unless
you promised to obey your husband.
The thing was said SO often that finally
/ came to believe it. In the past year
the old story has came up again and
again. Igot tired Of it finally and looked
into the matter, 70 my surprise. find
that there is no authority for it what
ever. In the early Christian church the
pastor merely put the question, DO you,
Jane, take this man for your husbandP
and, DO you, John, take this woman
for your wife?' That's all there was to
it. The great Roman Catholic church,
the Greek, Coptic and Armenian have
followed the same practice. The church
of England in the time of Henry VIII
and one or more of the German churches
introduced the word obey, and that's
where IL comes from. hardly fancy
that that monarch is good man to pat
tern after. There are number Of sects,
German, Scandinavian and, believe.
English, which make both husband and
wife promise to obey the other"

Empress Dagmar.

The Empress Dagmar is at last losing
that stricken look she has worn since
the csar's s death An eyewitness tells me
she never saw anything so pathetic as
that death scene. In the last "a hours
the empress never left her husband y
side except once, when she was persuad-
ed to change her gown. The czar, who
had seemed unconscious for hours, i'm
mediately missed her. Turning to one
Of the doctors, he murmured, "Where is
she?" On being told, he muttered, "Of
course, Of course" yet kept his eyes
gazing piteously at the door until she
returned, when look of relief and
peace came into his face Soon the end
came. With his head on her breast, and
her arms clasped round his neck, he
breathed his last. For three-quarters of
an hour after his death they remained
in the same position, her ashen white
face looking as dead as his own. 1t was
only when the Countess K, to whom
she is tenderly attached, managed to
convince her that she could do nothing
more that she. was persuaded to leave
the room.
