TYPOS IN SESSION.
Resolutions Adopted for the Good of the
Craft

COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 1.-THE
sixth day of the International Typo
graphical union convention was taken
up principally in legislating in behalf of
the craft The subject of providing for
the erection of a hospital in connection
with the Childs-DreXel home for old
printers, which is located in this city,
came up for discussion. Fifteen thousand
dollars was provided by the information :
al union for the building of the hospital,
which amount is to be contributed by
the printers all over the land as popu-
lar subscription. The amount is ex-
pected to be raised by Christmas.
A resolution was adopted recommend
ing that the government printing office
in Washington be taken from under the
civil service restrictions, in order, it was
argued, to allow more equitable treat
ment of union men who may in the fu-
ture make application for work in the
government printing office.
The policy of the management of the
union home was upheld.
The closing session of the convention
will be held Monday morning.

THE CASE OF THE CASTLES
Will Come to Trial on Tuesday

THE MAGISTRATE A CRANK
Who Thought the Bail Could Not Be
Produced
Castle Will Be Discharged and His Wife
Given Into His Charge as One
Not Responsible.
Associated Press Special Wire

| Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, Oct. ia dispatch to
| the World from London says: The pre-
posterously excessive bail of 100000
\ fixed by Magistrate Newton in the case
| of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter NJ. Castle, having
been rendered, both of the accused went
somewhere into the country Their
trunks remain in the hands of the police.
| Newton is much of crank. He is the
| magistrate whose similarly preposterous
treatment of a respectable sewing girl,
| Elizabeth Cass, arrested for soliciting
few years ago, led to the defeat of the
Salisbury government.
The Castles will go before him again
next Tuesday.
At the office Of Bernard Abrahams,
solicitor for the Castles, his partner, Mr..
Holloway, states: I'VE have heard of
no fresh charge. The police would be
bound to notify us if such charges were
to be made. When they appear in court
again, we hope the preliminary investi-
cation will be finished and the case sent
to higher tribunal, by which it will
be finally dealt with"
WAS not the bail fixed an unprece-
dented figure?"
ut was perfectly monstrous," he add
ed. ''The intention of the magistrate
was to make it prohibitory, as he takes
an exceedingly severe view of such
| cases. He was astonished when the bail
was forthcoming
"How will the case go?"
''Mr. Castle will be discharged and
Mrs. Castle handed over to his charge
as being unaccountable for her actions.
Mr.. Castle has vouchers for the pur-
chase of many articles found in his bag
gage, but he cannot get these vouchers
until the police are through with them"

wife," he said, ais purely friendship.
When I was in San Francisco two years
ago, they treated me with charming
hospitality.
1.-THE magistrate is a woman hater.
He is also not too we'll disposed toward
Americans and he never likes, anyway,
to let go his grip on ony prisoner"
Mr.. Bertine, manager Of the Hotel
Cecil, said in reference to the arrest of
the Castles: 81 must say the demeanor
of Mr.. Castle was that of an innocent
person, for he seemed more amazed than
anybody at the discoveries made. His
wife was hysterical."
"Were not the articles such as could be
compressed into small space, so Mrs.
Castle could have secreted them without
her husbands knowledge in these large
trunks?"
Most of them were SMALL" Mr. Bertine
answered. For many believe the po-
lice have since found tickets showing
they were purchased. But the clocks,
for instance, filled a large space and
could scarcely be hid in any trunk with
out attracting attention for their bulk.
Mr.. Castle gave his wife as much money
as she wanted and knowing probably
that she had a whim for buying articles
of this kind, he paid no particular atten-
tion to what she had in her trunks. Be-
sides she may have done all the packing
as ladies sometimes do.'

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-John P. Alt
geld, governor of Illinois, spoke in Coop
er union tonight. 1t Is seldom that such
| a crowd turns out to hear man as the
one which turned out tonight at New
York's historical hall.
At least 10000 persons listened to
speeches from trucks and stands erected
decorated with American flags, with the
pictures of Bryan and Altgeld. above the
platform. Small American flags had
been distributed about the audience and
when Mr.. Altgeld made his appearance
the vast audience rose as one man,
waved the flags and cheered for several
minutes.
Henry George preceded Mr.. Altgeld to
the platform, and he, too, received tre-
mendous ovation. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the German
American Democratic association, and
its president, w. f. Grail, called the
meeting to order in German and intro
duced as chairman Frederick Schaub,
candidate for lieutenant-governor.
Governor Altgeld was received with
a storm cheers and the cry, I'VE love
you for the enemies you have made"
Governor Altgeld said he had come to
bring to the people of New York and
the east a greeting from those of the
great Mississippi valley. Continuing,
he said: "At present there is in addition
to the gold standard a quartet of
blighting sisters in our land, respective
ly called federal interference in local af-
fairs, government by injunction, usurp-
alton by the United States supreme
court, and, fourth, corruption.
"All four are clothed in Phariseeism
standard as their natural foster mother.
We believe that these blghting sisters,
| whose smile means paralysis and whose
embrace means death, have not more
admirers among your people than they
have among ours.
"This campaign is to decide, not only
whether we shall perpetuate the expert
ment of this English financial system
which is prostratng our nation but also
whether we shall adopt these four Sis
| ters into our household and make them
| the ruling members Of the family"
| The governor devoted the greater part
| of his speech to the consideration of
federal interference" giving detail
I ed history of the great railroad strike of
1894 He claimed that there never was
| a time during that strike when the state
| authorities could not and did not pre-
serve order He read numerous COM
munications from local officers to show
| that the military of the state was put
promptly at the service Of the civil au-
thorities. He also read his correspond
ence with the president regarding the
use of federal troops, and strongly con-
demned Mr.. Cleveland for what he
termed usurpation Of power.
