.A GREAT CROWD N C9yy''' =
Thirty Thousand Enth, 1Orn
Blowers in Town.
The Tippecanoe Club, Of Cleveland
Led the Demonstration, and
Throngs Were on Hand From Far
and Near-Speakers and Banners
Declare the Tariff to be the Issue.
Quite a Notable Occasion.

Canton, O., June 27.-Tippecanoe and
the Old Coon, too, have been prominent
in to-day's doings at Canton. One Of
the incidents was connected with an old
flag. which was a relic of the famous
Harrison campaign of 1910, and old vet
Grams tonight say the scenes enacted
here vivid,y recall the stirring incidents
OF that memorable time.
Hourly trains brought thousands of
Cleveland visitors to Canton over two
roads. Delegations came from Apollo,
Pa, and various other distant places,
until the crowds on the streets to-
night are variously estimated at from
$4,000 to 10000 people. OF all the stir
ring days since the st. Louis conVen-
ton, none has equalled the enthusiasm
and scenes of rejoicing witnessed here
this afternoon and evening. 1t was
feared that the prediction Of rain and
cloudy skies would prevent the gather
ing Of ANTICIPATED crowds. Those from
out of town say that thousands were
prevented from coming by the gloomy
weather outlook, but tonight with
thousands of men in line of march and
fire works everywhere and more horns
than ever have been blown before in
this we'll trumpeted town, the outcome
of the ratification meeting inaugurated
by the Tippecanoe Club, OF Cleveland,
has been more OF a success than its
most enthusiastic projectors expected.
The incoming delegations were met
at the trains by hundred uniformed
horsemen under command of the CHIEF
marshal, Capt Harry Frease, and as
sociates. and escorted to vacant acre
block OF ground made vacant by the
city. the buildings thereon having been
raZed for the purpose of constructing a
market house. This was centrally To-
Gated. and the whole block as well as
the streets for blocks around were
crowded with a surging throng in every
direction during the afternoon while
speaking was going ON. Each delega-
ton had its band. The Tippecanoe
Club, which took such prominent part
in the ST. Louis convention enthusiasm,
was marked in its manifestations, and
its glee club was conspicuous for fine
music. The most significant feature Of
the occasion was the predominating
sentiment in all the speeches, whic him
dicated the tariff was the leading issue
in the estimation OF the assembled hosts
and while the party did not propose to
shift responsibility or evade the cur
rency question, it was not intended in
the least to allow the tariff issue to be
overshadOwed as the principal one of
the coming campaign. Tonight Gov,
Mckinley reviewed the largest and most
enthusiastic parade that has yet been
witnessed The citizens committee
had erected an elevated platform on his
front lawn for use on this occasion

AN ASSASSIN
Makes an Effort to Take Off the New
Shah Of Persia--Ascended the
Throne Only Six Weeks Ago.

Tifiis, June Pit is reported here
that an attempt has just been made up
on the life of the Shah at Teheran. The
attempt was unsuccessful, the assassin
being arrested on the spot. He proved
to be a member of the Babi Mohamme-
den secret society.
Muzafer Ed Din, the second son of the
late Shah of Persia, Nazr Ed Din, was
proclaimed Shah of Persia May 2, 1896.
His father, Nazr Ed Din was assassinat-
ed May by fanatic when about to
enter the inner court of the shrine of
Shah Abdul AziD about six miles from
Teheran. The assassin, Mollap Ria,
was a member of the Babist sect, the
same fanatical society which, accord
ing to reports just received from Tiflis,
is responsible for the attempt upon the
life of the present Shah of Persia. The
discomfort of the Babists, it is said, is
due to the fact that the former Shah,
Nazr Ed Din and his successor, Muz-
afer Ed Din, would no allow them to
establish their religion. The refusal
was based upon representations that IL
would conflict with the existing faith OF
Persia and split the people into relig-
ious factions. At the time Of the mur-
DIR CT Nazr Ed Din many persons
thought the the elder brother of Muz-
afer Ed Din, Massoud Mira, governor
OF Ispahan, who was barred from he
succession because his mother was of
inferior rank would try to seize thei
throne, that Russia would back one
claimant and England the other, and
that serious complications might result.

WAS / MURDER?
An Infant Child of Mary Heinrich
Found Dead
Under Circumstances Which Point
to Criminal Neglect, if Not Muir
der An Enquiry Held Last
Evening by Coroner Schultze.
The Mother Non Compos Mentis.

Last evening Coroner Schultze was
apprized of one Of the saddest cases re-
Gently occurring in this city, many OF
the circumstances of which point to
murder. while criminal neglect Is the
least which could be made out Of the
facts last night.
The innocent victim, whether or ioui
play or neglect, is a sixteen-day-olo
babe. while the apparent criminal
mentally irresponsible though she
probably is. is Mary Heinrich, well
known young girl, not right in her
mind. who has repeatedly Inquired III
police circles in a most unsavory man
ner, during the past two years or more.
The girl. in addition to being unsound
of mind, is a cripple. Once or twice
she has been an inmate Of the County
Infirmary, for brief periods, but Lately
has been living on South Jacob street,
between Twenty-fifth and Twenty
sixth.
On the 11th of the present month, this
young woman, who is probably not over
eighteen years OF age, gave birth to .
male child. The mothers condition,
mental as well as physical. precluded
its receiving the proper attention or
nourishment, and all of Friday might
people in the vicinity heard the little
one screaming in a terrible manner.
Yesterday it was not heard, and last
evening about five o'clock, neighbors
who entered the house found the child
lying dead in bed, and covered with a
swarm of flies. The mother was lying
near by. and another child, illegitimate
like the first was in the same room.
County Undertaken Frank Schroeder
was notified, and he in turn acquainted
Coroner Schultze with the facts. The
Coroner went to the house about nine
o'clock last night, and also examined
the body. which had been removed to
Mr.. Schroeder's undertaking rooms.
The infant was very small, pitiably
thin. and showed unmistakable signs or
nourishment or care. There
were no external wounds on the child,
but its skull appeared very soft over
the forehead. and it was the impression
of some that il had been injured, either
by fall or blow. No certain evidence
upon this point was obtainable, how
ever, and the Justice officially conclud-
ed that death was the result OF starva-
tion and generally insufficient care.
If Mary Heinrich had been properly
cares ersr by the authorities OF the coun7-
ty. as she should have been three years
ago, the situation to-day would have
been very much better in this regard.
The affair Of last evening is not at alf
creditable to Ohio county, from any
point of view.

demonstration of the existence on our

McElroy into D company's barracks, and
was expelled therefrom by Sergeant Liv-
ingston. He swore vengeance on the SER

Washington, June 27.-Summarizing
newspaper comments upon the subject
United States Commercial Agent Grit
fin has contributed a special report to
tne department of state on bicycles in
France" containing some figures show
ing That the sudden increase in the use
of the wheel is not confined to England
and the United States, but that France
likewise has become a victim to the
craze. At present there are 100 600 BIZ
cycles in France, or one TO every so
persons able TO ride, and upon each of
these machines the owners pay tax
of S1.93 per annum. The excellence of
the French roads is the reason for the
popularity Of the bike. The bicyc,ists'
society has carefully explored every
route. and indicated on their charts all
dangerous descents. sharp curves, steep
incGues; signboards also have been
erected wherever necessary for the spe-
cal guidance Of the cyclists. so that
they are as fully equipped as a captain
of a ship steering for a strange port.
This gives great confidence TO the riders
and prevents many accidents. Mr..
Griffin says that many bicycles are
Imported into France from the United
States and there is no reason why they
should not have an even larger sale.
